Chapter 309: Chapter 306 Poor Chongba, Stew It_1
Jiucai was at a loss for words...
Just at that moment, Conghua suddenly shook its body as if it was saying something.
Then Jiucai and Chongba exclaimed, "What? You agree? You agree with this name? Are you crazy?"
But Conghua stubbornly nodded its head as if it approved of the name.
Qin Shou, upon seeing this, laughed heartily as he ran over and patted Conghua’s trunk, "See! Someone knows quality!"
Jiucai curled its lips and sighed, "This isn’t recognizing quality, it’s being hoodwinked by you..."
"Never mind that, from now on, Conghua is the name of the little sapling!" Qin Shou declared with a slap on Conghua, looking quite pleased with himself.
Conghua, very cooperatively, hoisted the rabbit onto its shoulder. In that moment, the rabbit was laughing, the tree was shaking, and the two of them actually...
"Birds of a feather flock together. Such a perfect match with brains like that!" Chongba commented with a sigh.
Jiucai gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Get to work! Hurry up and get to work!"
When the real business was mentioned, both Qin Shou and Conghua perked up, staring intently at Chongba as he moved clouds and called forth rain.
With a loud shout, Chongba took to the sky, elongating his body and transforming into a long, dark grey dragon; however, this dragon had a turtle shell on its back, making it look very peculiar!
The dragon let out a long roar, and instantly, wind and thunder gathered in the sky, clouds churned, and the day turned to darkness in the blink of an eye!
Qin Shou, seeing this, clicked his tongue in wonder, "That’s a dragon for you..."
Jiucai’s eyes sparkled with admiration, "So impressive!"
Qin Shou pursed his lips and said, "Impressive my foot. When I was in the East Sea, I almost caught the Third Prince of the Dragon King! If I had caught him, he would be the one moving clouds and calling forth rain now. Unfortunately, Taibai Star Monarch messed it up."
Jiucai scoffed and said, "What do you know? The Four Seas Dragon King doesn’t count as a True Dragon; though they can move clouds and call forth rain too, Chongba has the aura of Dragon Island in him! His bloodline is very pure!"
Qin Shou was taken aback, "Very pure? Are all the dragons in Dragon Island turtles that have cultivated into spirits? I’ve heard of carps leaping through the Dragon Gate to become dragons, and Jiaolong transforming into dragons, but I’ve never heard of turtles evolving into dragons."
Jiucai was rendered speechless yet again, rolling its eyes in frustration, "Just keep those thoughts to yourself. Don’t go spreading them around, or if the ancient dragons of Dragon Island hear you, they’ll certainly kill you."
Qin Shou, however, was unconcerned. With a Saint backing him, he was extremely bold, almost feeling like punching a hole in the sky to show his might. Unfortunately, his strength was not up to par, unable to make any significant disturbance.
Conghua was very curious, watching Jiucai, who was a little smug as it said, "They say the dragon has nine sons, each different. It’s referring to the children of the Ancestral Dragon. The Ancestral Dragon didn’t birth children normally. I heard that when the Ancestral Dragon broke through the heavens, it cut down nine roots of the Heavenly Dao and, with its essence blood, merged them into the order of the Heavenly Dao, transforming them into nine dragon sons! As the dragon sons descended, they each took different forms, hence the saying about their diverse nature."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shou was startled, "He cut down nine Heavenly Dao? Are those the big chains?"
Jiucai nodded, "Yes."
Qin Shou clicked his tongue, "Goodness, is that even a person?"
Jiucai emphasized, "That’s a dragon! The Ancestral Dragon, the most powerful dragon in the world, that was birthed from chaos."
"Regardless of where it popped out from, anyone capable of doing such a thing is simply not human!" Qin Shou seemed to struggle to find words to describe the awe he felt inside.
Jiucai looked at Qin Shou with disdain, but it too marveled inside. Anyone who heard such ancient secrets would be amazed, right? The Heavenly Dao! That represents the order of heaven and earth, the will of heaven itself!
To cut down the Heavenly Dao is not just to confront a great way, but to be an enemy of heaven and earth. For one man to cut down heaven, that’s truly terrifying.
When Jiucai had first heard about this matter, it too broke out in a cold sweat, amazed beyond belief and full of admiration.
However, after hearing that their own ancestor had also done similarly shocking things, Jiucai felt a little better. Otherwise, with dragons strong and phoenixes weak, it might have damaged its tender spirit.
Since its own ancestor had also been active, Jiucai felt somewhat proud seeing the rabbit so astonished.
Qin Shou smacked his lips, his eyes shining as he looked up at the sky, as if his gaze could penetrate the heavens, traversing through time and space, back to the primordial era, seeing the Ancestral Dragon! That feeling of time-worn gravity was incredibly solemn.
Qin Shou let out a long sigh, "Ah... to think such a dragon exists in this world... Jiucai?"
Jiucai stood beside the rabbit, also looking up at the sky, ready to hear the rabbit’s insight, and responded, "Hmm?"
Qin Shou said, "What kind of seasoning could be worthy of such a dragon?"
Jiucai: "..."
Qin Shou, wiping his mouth, said, "My master once said that the better the ingredient, the more it requires superb flames and a long time of simmering, otherwise the skin and meat are particularly tough... Since it needs to be cooked for a long time, ordinary seasonings simply can’t withstand such long exposure to high temperatures without ruining the flavor of the meat. So, for good meat, the quality of the seasoning must also match up... Uh, Jiucai? Jiucai? Where are you going?"
Jiucai waved its hand and said, "Don’t talk to me; I don’t know you..."
Qin Shou, dumbfounded, scratched his head and asked Conghua, "Conghua, what’s with Jiucai? What I said was the truth, wasn’t it?"
Conghua shook its leaves, apparently unsure of why Jiucai was acting that way.
Boom!
A peal of thunder rolled, causing the dark clouds to tumble!
Splash!
Large raindrops poured down like buckets, and the parched earth guzzled the rainwater like a desperately thirsty wild ox, gulping it down, glug glug. Bubbles burst from the cracks in the soil, popping crisply on the ground, releasing a musty, earthy smell.
As the rain grew heavier, the soil became saturated with water, and puddles began to form in the dips and hollows; lakes, streams, and rivers reemerged upon the land...
Some lakes even sprouted springs, from which groundwater gushed out, winding through the forest and nourishing all living things. Countless seeds broke through the deep soil, struggling, lifting stones, lifting weeds, lifting everything in their effort to grow.
Conghua, feeling the familiar life force around it getting stronger, happily shook its leaves, tossed the rabbit into the air in place, and caught it again.
Qin Shou laughed heartily, saying, "Toss me high! Toss me high! Haha... Perfect! A little higher! Wow..."
Just as Qin Shou was enjoying himself, a cold snort suddenly came from the distant mountains!
"You little mudfish, who allowed you to make a fuss here?" A cold voice sounded, instantly chilling everyone to the bone!
Conghua stiffened, trying hard to look towards the distant mountains, eyes filled with fear, terrified that the terrible disaster might descend once more.
Jiucai, too, shuddered, her face ashen and bloodless, nearly staggering and falling to the ground.
Just then, a hand landed on Fire Chicken’s shoulder, its palm warm as if melting the bone-chilling coldness. Following that, the cunning voice rang out: "Don’t be scared, I am here."
Before Jiucai could turn around, she saw that the rabbit had already stood in front of her!
Jiucai was not tall, even shorter than the rabbit, and even though the rabbit was not even one meter tall when standing straight, its two big ears were quite eye-catching...
However, at that moment, the rabbit seemed a little less sleazy in her eyes and somewhat more imposing.
Then she heard the rabbit call out, "Miss, this isn’t my fault, you know. This Fire Chicken is way fatter than me. If you’re going to eat someone, eat her! I recommend spicy diced chicken, braised chicken, big plate chicken from Xinjiang..."
Upon hearing this, Jiucai’s forehead immediately filled with black lines, and she clenched her fist and punched the rabbit right in its infuriatingly punchable head!
Thump!
Qin Shou was like a nail hammered into the soil, leaving only his head above the ground, looking innocently at Fire Chicken and saying, "Jiucai, that was a sneaky attack from behind, not cool!"
Jiucai angrily retorted, "And you have the nerve to call me uncool?"
Then Jiucai was surprised to find that the cold, restraining sensation had disappeared!
Before Jiucai could say anything, she heard Chongba cry out, "Help me!"
Qin Shou looked up just in time to see a white bone hand grab Chongba and drag him to the mountaintop!
Qin Shou was startled and called out anxiously, "Miss, please show some mercy!"
At the same time, Qin Shou leaped into the air, channeling all his power and swiftly shooting up to the mountaintop!
But as he reached the top, he saw the doors of the White Bone Hall thrown open, and then something black was flung out!
Splat!
Qin Shou looked down and saw an elongated creature, something like a snake but not a snake, lying on the ground in a bloody mess, clearly flayed!
Seeing this, Qin Shou shivered with shock and anger...
"Chongba!" Jiucai also arrived and, seeing the bloody long shape on the ground, she rushed over and burst into tears, crying, "Chongba... I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have recommended it to you, woo woo... You died so horribly! So horribly..."
Qin Shou was overwhelmed with sorrow and was about to join in the crying, or turn around in rage, banging on the door and fighting for his life. But then Qin Shou turned his head and froze; he saw two figures behind the door. After squinting and carefully examining the long-shaped object, his eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up. Then he too ran over and cried out loud, "Chongba, you died a terrible death! The shell of the turtle stripped, your skin gone, unrecognizable! Tell me... how should I stew you, what spices should I use so you die with clear eyes?"
Jiucai, in the midst of her tears, suddenly heard this and instantly became furious, saying, "Rabbit! Don’t go too far! Chongba has just died, and you’re already thinking about eating him!"
Qin Shou, rubbing his reddened eyes, replied with a wronged tone, "Isn’t it just while it’s fresh... If you don’t eat it just after death, then when do you suggest we eat it?"
Jiucai stomped her foot angrily and replied, "At the very least, you should wait... Er... you should never eat it!"
Jiucai was so angry she was speaking incoherently.
But Qin Shou sat up, stroking his chin and said, "Never eat it? That won’t do... What if I, the Rabbit, get hungry later? Wouldn’t it be a shame to waste such fresh Chongba meat?"
