Chapter 299: Chapter 296: I, Rabbit, Make Money!_1

"I truly am the divine envoy from above with an unparalleled taste!"

"The most expensive must be the best, right? I have such a way with words!"

"A truly profound saying, gotta remember that!"

...

A barrage of flattery came flying, which pleased Qin Shou tremendously. He almost took off in flight.

However, upon hearing this, Ao Guang and the Kylin Flower immediately had a bad premonition. This rabbit was spending other people’s money without a care, and he was planning to make a big splash!

Clutching his chest, Ao Guang gritted his teeth and muttered, "Damn rabbit..."

As much as Ao Guang was reluctant, there was nothing he could do about it. The rabbit was not to be hit or scolded. He had considered whether to take the rabbit back to the Crystal Palace to quiet down, but after some thought, he gave up on the idea. After all, the Dragon King City’s finest wares were mostly found in his own Crystal Palace!

He certainly didn’t want to lead the rabbit into his own home...

As such, he could only endure and told himself, "This rabbit hasn’t seen much of the world. In seven days, even if he splurges, how much can he really spend? My family’s wealth is substantial; it should be fine..."

While Ao Guang was consoling himself, Jinghan called out, "I, we do have such a place in Dragon King City! But it’s where all the top-notch young masters hang out. We commoners don’t even have the right to enter!"

Shakun joined in, shouting, "I, that place is super expensive. Ordinary folks, without millions of Red Spirit Crystals, wouldn’t even be able to get in! And even with money, it’s no guarantee of entry. Only those top-line young masters can go there. That establishment is also opened by the Third Prince. Sea Flower Tower is just a pastime for His Highness the Crown Prince, but Fenghua Tower is the real epitome of lavish luxury!"

Upon hearing that Fenghua Tower belonged to Ao Bing, Qin Shou’s interest was piqued. He smacked his hands together and declared, "Then that’s where we’ll go!"

No sooner had he spoken than Jinghan and Shakun and the others got excited. But then they chuckled bitterly and said, "I, but we simple folk aren’t qualified to enter such a place. However, we can show you the way."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou rolled his eyes and retorted, "Show the way my ass!"

Hearing this, everyone felt their hearts skip a beat, thinking, "Has this rabbit turned on us already? Indeed, these powerful beings never took us seriously, sigh..."

Then they heard the rabbit impatiently exclaim, "What are you standing around for? I today will take you out for some eye-opening fun. We’re booking Fenghua Tower for the night, and everyone’s going to eat, drink, and be merry until dawn!"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly looked up, unable to believe the rabbit in front of them.

Jinghan couldn’t help but remind him, "I, Fenghua Tower isn’t Sea Flower Tower. Sea Flower Tower didn’t cost you much. But Fenghua Tower, with more than fifty of us going, I’m afraid we won’t have enough unless we have fifty million Red Spirit Crystals!"

"I, Fenghua Tower doesn’t accept Red Spirit Crystals, they take a higher grade of Spirit Crystal, Orange Spirit Crystals. Orange Spirit Crystals are the premium currency issued by the Heavenly Court, containing a purity of Spiritual Energy ten thousand times greater than that of Red Spirit Crystals! It takes ten thousand Red Spirit Crystals to exchange for one Orange Spirit Crystal, which means, once we get there, you’ll need to prepare a lot of Orange Spirit Crystals..." Shakun chimed in with a reminder.

Qin Shou was taken aback; he had no idea there was such a thing as Orange Spirit Crystals above Red Spirit Crystals.

Having been in the Heavenly Realm for so long, Qin Shou had hardly spent any money. What he had earned and heard about were all Red Spirit Crystals.

He had never heard of this Orange Spirit Crystal before.

And what confused Qin Shou even more was that the Kitchen God’s cooking in the kitchen was also paid for with Red Spirit Crystals. What made Fenghua Tower so special that it accepted Orange Spirit Crystals?

Thinking this over, Qin Shou felt even more indignant on behalf of the Kitchen God. He had to check Fenghua Tower out to see just how incredible it was!

As for money?

Qin Shou laughed. Spending Ao Bing’s father’s money in Ao Bing’s joint, he wondered if Ao Bing would dare to take it...

With this thought, Qin Shou turned back to the Kylin Flower and chortled, "Madam..."

"I, I really don’t have any money to give you..." Kylin Flower said with a sob in her voice, looking pitifully at him.

Qin Shou waved his hand and said, "I didn’t ask you for money, I want you to run an errand. Take this letter from me to the old Dragon King and ask for some pocket money."

After speaking, Qin Shou casually slapped his hand on the table, and a dish of food and wine instantly turned into pen and paper. He scribbled on the paper in quick, cockroach-crawling strokes, eliciting countless rolled eyes.

Here, although the crowd was all spoiled second-generation rich kids, ignorant in many respects; still, for the sake of impressing girls, showing off, making money, conquering the world, and cultivating, they might be incompetent, but in the arts of poetry and proper conduct, each one was more skilled than the last.

So when Qin Shou wrote the letter, everyone felt as though the prestige of Sea Flower Tower had been lowered...

The Kylin Flower regretted letting Qin Shou write anything, but the deed was done, what could she say? She picked it up and saw just a few large characters written in an oversized font: I! Rabbit! Money!

The Kylin Flower felt dizzy. The Dragon King of the East Sea was like the sky in Dragon King City, and never in her wildest dreams did she imagine someone would be so shameless and bold, brazenly asking the Dragon King for money!

Not taking the Dragon King as an outsider, just who on earth was this guy?

The more she couldn’t understand, the less Kylin Flower dared to provoke Qin Shou. Taking the letter, she shook her head and went downstairs resignedly.

Even though she knew the Dragon King was here, she didn’t dare to point it out and could only go downstairs pretending to send the letter.

As expected, Ao Guang was waiting downstairs for her. After taking the letter and looking at it, his eyes darkened and he gritted his teeth, cursing, "That damn rabbit, didn’t even write a number!"

After pondering for a moment, Ao Guang waved his hand grandly and handed a Xumi Bag to Qilin Hua, saying, "Take it to him."

Qilin Hua glanced at it and immediately knew roughly how much was inside, having dealt with money every day. After checking, he said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the rabbit is going to Fenghua Tower, and these five million Red Spirit Crystals might not be enough for his extravagance..."

Ao Guang’s beard bristled and he glared, lowering his voice to say, "What’s this? I’m expected to provide for a spendthrift, and now I have to provide for this rabbit as well?"

Qilin Hua dared not say more, and quickly bowed to apologize, stepping back three times, ready to leave.

But as Qilin Hua was about to go, Ao Guang cursed, "Damn it, do I owe this rabbit? Come back, take these!"

After he finished, Ao Guang threw another Xumi Bag to Qilin Hua.

Qilin Hua opened it to see that it contained one thousand Orange Spirit Crystals, which was the equivalent to ten million Red Spirit Crystals!

In terms of quantity, it was only double the five million Red Spirit Crystals, but what Ao Guang gave was Orange Spirit Crystals!

The Heavenly Court issued Spirit Crystal currency selectively, mostly Red Spirit Crystals. The quantity of Orange Spirit Crystals was not small either, but most of them were held by the various Heavenly Gods and major powers.

After all, Spirit Crystals were not merely currency, but also excellent aids for cultivation. The Yuan Qi contained within Orange Spirit Crystals was much purer than that in Red Spirit Crystals, and their effect was also better. Some even said Orange Spirit Crystals were starting to be comparable to ordinary heavenly and earthly treasures.

Thus, even though the exchange rate was one Orange Spirit Crystal for ten thousand Red Spirit Crystals, in reality, they were scarce and usually not available on the market unless one was willing to pay a premium!

This highlighted the preciousness of these one thousand Orange Spirit Crystals.

Not just Qilin Hua, but even Ao Guang felt a pang of loss for parting with one thousand Orange Spirit Crystals.

Of course, it was just a pang of loss, not really painful.

The Jade Emperor favored the Four Seas Dragon Kings and gave them an abundant amount of Orange Spirit Crystals—one thousand was just a drop in the bucket... It’s just that Ao Guang was always stingy by nature, accustomed to counting every penny, and he felt the loss of even one hair...

Qilin Hua wanted to say something, but Ao Guang waved his hand, with an obvious ’get lost, you’re annoying to look at’ demeanor.

Qilin Hua hastily took his leave, heading upstairs to report back to the rabbit.

"Hey! That was pretty fast!" Qin Shou knew Ao Guang was here, so he intentionally called out.

Qilin Hua gave an awkward smile and said, "I know some water spells, so naturally, I’m not slow. Sir Rabbit, the money is here, please check..."

Qin Shou weighed it for a moment, glancing at the Red Spirit Crystals inside. His eyes turned red with excitement... but since his eyes were already red, nobody could really tell.

Qin Shou inwardly howled, "Damn! I used all my tricks to scam and deceive, and I barely made a few tens of thousands of Red Spirit Crystals! This old Dragon King just waves his hand and it’s fifteen million, just like that! Truly F-rich! No wonder ’Journey to the West’ says the Four Seas Dragon Kings are the wealthiest under heaven! This is pretty much the definition of a super-rich tycoon!"

At the same time, Qin Shou resolved, "In the future, doing business is out of the question, doing business is nothing compared to being a local despot, but then again, it seems that robbery isn’t as quick... damn it!"

"Sir Rabbit, is this enough?" Qilin Hua asked tentatively.

Qin Shou was not accustomed to spending money like this, nor had he visited such high-end places, so how would he know if it was enough? Hence, he nodded and said, "Let’s go with this for now, if it’s not enough, we’ll just ask the Dragon King for more! You’re fast anyway! Come on, follow me!"

Qilin Hua was stunned and pointed to himself, saying, "I’m going too?"

Qin Shou said, "Of course! If you don’t go, who will help me ask the Dragon King for money? You’ve got good legs, and you know water spells. If you don’t come along, it’ll be such a hassle for me to ask for money... Let’s go!"

After Qin Shou finished speaking, he led the way out intrepidly.

Shakun and Jinghan quickly followed, flanking him on both sides like two guards, with others trailing behind.

Qilin Hua sighed with a wry smile, knowing there was no escape for him that day. Helplessly, he followed them out.

So, the entire group marched mightily towards Fenghua Tower, the most luxurious establishment in Dragon King City, famously known for its gilded streams and rivers of Yuan Qi. Even the most trivial item there was considered a Magic Artifact or a magic treasure.

Meanwhile, inside the Crystal Palace, in the palace of Ao Bing...

"What?! That damn rabbit smashed my Sea Flower Tower? And he freaking asked my dad for money?" Ao Bing nearly jumped out of bed screaming.

"Your Grace, the Third Prince, that’s exactly what happened..." a Clown Fish Spirit said cautiously.

Ao Bing rolled his eyes and flopped back onto the bed, not moving an inch, muttering to himself, "Is my old man really that afraid of the rabbit? Damn, it’s just a wild rabbit from the moon... Is it really necessary..."

"Third Prince, should I summon the soldiers for you?" the Clown Fish Spirit asked obsequiously.

But before he could finish, Ao Bing slapped him away, sending the Clown Fish Spirit tumbling to the floor, cursing, "I’m a rake, not a fool! If my old man is cowering, should I still be tough? Am I asking for death? Besides, I’ve tried using the army before, they even got beat into the Crystal Palace, what’s the freaking point!?"
