Chapter 331: Chapter 328: The Days of Stealing Chickens and Dogs_1

Then Qin Shou silently made his way to the meandering riverbank, stood up, turned his back to Chang’e, and hissed...

Chang’e, puzzled, furrowed her brow, wanting to ask something.

Qin Shou made a shushing gesture and then mimicked the action of listening intently.

Chang’e followed suit and listened carefully, and as a result, some voices traveled from afar, downstream along the river.

Those were the loud voices of the Bouncing Fish Spirit and the Electric Eel Spirit.

"Red Spirit Crystals are great as spring’s eye, just look at this water, it’s brimming with Yuan Qi, take a gulp, wickedly sweet!"

"Mmm... it is sweet!"

"Awesome..."

...

Chang’e, upon hearing this, blushed and spat out, cursing, "You bad Rabbit! You’re not allowed to pee into the river anymore!"

Qin Shou grinned sheepishly and said, "I was worried you wouldn’t understand my intentions, so I used actions to tell you about the grievances of living downstream."

Chang’e glared at him, then hoisted him up, and Qin Shou quickly exclaimed, "Wait, wait... I’m not finished yet!"

"Then hold it back!" Chang’e huffed.

Qin Shou: "..."

After the human and the Rabbit left, a little flower lay drenched on the ground, twinkling faintly under the starlight... Clearly, the Rabbit had not actually peed into the water.

With the river’s formation, and the enhancement of the Red Spirit Crystal Formation, the water in the river was significantly richer in Yuan Qi. In the outside world, it would have been just ordinary water. But on the moon... the osmanthus trees, long thirsting for rain, seemed to be awakened all at once!

The osmanthus trees on both banks of the river, as if stimulated with hormones and sprinkled with fertilizer, grew wildly, and overnight, trees that were once tall but bore few flowers were now laden with blossoms. Miles of osmanthus forest, miles of osmanthus fragrance!

The entire Fenghua City, including the three Moon Palaces, was enveloped in that serene and elegant aroma, becoming a favored place for numerous members of the Sea Clan to wander and view the scenery.

Meanwhile, Qin Shou had filled the Baihua House with flowers obtained from Conghua and, along with Chang’e who acquired some from the Flower Fairy, the Baihua House truly lived up to its name.

When idle, Qin Shou enjoyed sitting with Chang’e in the Baihua House...

To be precise, it was Chang’e sitting in the Baihua House reading, while Qin Shou lay on her lap, resting with his eyes closed, silently practicing the Creation and Reincarnation.

Although the Bodhi Patriarch had warned that cultivation would bring endless troubles for Qin Shou,

Qin Shou felt that Sun Wukong’s philosophy was right... he refused to believe that there wasn’t a single path for him in the vast Heavenly Dao! If there truly wasn’t, what use was Heaven to him?

Leaving the Baihua House, Qin Shou then took Jiucai for a tour around the Fierce Beast Park and the Rare Birds Courtyard.

"Rabbit, run, the God of Land is coming!"

From atop the wall of the Rare Birds Courtyard, Jiucai shouted out.

Qin Shou hurriedly leapt onto it, and then the two guys grabbed the peacock, firebird, mynah, and canary and ran off in a puff of smoke.

It wasn’t long before an angry shout came from behind them, "You two bastards, coming to steal every day, can’t you leave me a few?"

Unfortunately, the two little thieves had already run off without a trace, and it was unclear if they had heard at all.

Just like that, the two little creatures, each holding a bird in one hand, brazenly dashed through Tianyong City, passed through the Southern Gate, and headed straight for the Moon.

In the end, all these birds were tossed into the Tianlai House...

"Rabbit, this place you have here is quite nice!" Jiucai threw the mynah and canary he was holding into the Tianlai House, then with one glance scared the birds so much they didn’t dare to run about and stayed put.

Qin Shou burst into hearty laughter and said, "That’s natural, don’t you see whose turf this is! Jiucai, you’re quite impressive too, one look and the birds don’t dare to move, letting us catch them easily. If only the Xumi Bag could hold living things, I’d really like to catch all those birds. Ah... right, can’t you make them follow you when you run?"

Jiucai gave Qin Shou a disdainful look and said, "Run together? If we get caught, we won’t have much to worry about. I, the little princess of the Phoenix Clan, even if I steal a few birds, or even a few hundred, it wouldn’t be serious enough to be convicted. You, with your thick skin and rough flesh, a troublemaker, I guess no one would bother with you. But what about those birds that follow us? I bet, when they get back, they’ll all be killed for meat."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou raised his thumb and said, "I didn’t expect you to have such a sense of righteousness! Before, when I saw you killing those chickens, ducks, and rabbits, I didn’t see you caring this much."

Jiucai snorted and said, "That’s different, those chickens, ducks, and rabbits don’t have awakened minds, if I don’t kill them, they’re going to die sooner or later anyway. Besides, who told you I was the one who killed them?"

Qin Shou was taken aback, "It wasn’t you who killed them?"

Jiucai, as if it were obvious, said, "Right! In the Fierce Beast Park, there’s a bunch of really ugly hyenas, always stealing other people’s food, which annoyed me. So when they were hunting, whatever they bit to death, I’d snatch away."

Qin Shou, upon hearing this, his face darkened, "You mean, what I, Rabbit, have been eating, was all snatched from the mouths of dogs?"

Jiucai nodded, her face dopily serious, "Yes!"

Qin Shou grabbed a wooden stick from the side and weighed it in his hand, "Little chick, don’t move, let me, Rabbit, give you a couple of whacks first!"

As soon as Jiucai heard this, she turned and ran, with Qin Shou roaring behind her, waving the wooden stick and giving chase...

Chang’e sat in the Baihua House, listening to the cheerful chirping of the birds that flew out from the Tianlai House and perched on the tree branches, watching Rabbit and Jiucai playing in the distance. She smiled contentedly, stretched her arms, and stretched her slender waist, which caught the eye of Qin Shou who was running joyously in the distance, making him stop dead in his tracks, his eyes wide open!

When Jiucai noticed Rabbit was no longer chasing her, she looked back, frowned slightly, then turned her head quizzically toward the window, and just then caught the same beautiful scene.

Although Jiucai was a little phoenix, she was still attracted to Chang’e’s perfect figure, facial features, and aura. But the proud little phoenix puffed up her cheeks and thought to herself, "She is beautiful for sure, more than any woman I’ve seen. But... that’s because I haven’t grown up yet! The great elder said that once I grow up, I’ll be top-notch in beauty! Surely no worse than her..."

As Jiucai was daydreaming, a wooden stick thwacked her on the head, sparks flying everywhere, followed by that scoundrel’s voice, "What are you looking at? Stop it! You can’t become beautiful by looking, you’re so chubby, like a little furball."

As soon as these words came out, flames instantly flared up in Jiucai’s eyes. She turned around fiercely and said each word with heavy emphasis, "Rabbit! Don’t push me too far!"

Qin Shou cocked his head and said, "Just stating the facts..."

Jiucai screamed, "I’m going all out with you!"

With one breath, Jiucai spewed out a burst of flame! This was a flame Qin Shou had never seen before – not the red flame that Jiucai first sprayed, nor the golden one after, but a golden one tinged with red, a blazing heat that seemed to swallow everything!

PS: After sleeping for two days and two nights, I’ve finally recovered. Starting from tomorrow, it’s going to be explosive! We’ll keep it up until the end of the month, aiming for three to five updates a day! Everyone, watch me!
