Chapter 339: Chapter 336 Lantern Spirit_1

Qin Shou explained some details, and Yibing, Big Four Joys, and the others worked hard to remember.

"Everything’s set then," Qin Shou clapped his hands and said, "Do you now understand what was to be done?"

The crowd looked at each other, finally Yibing said, "Although we don’t understand the significance of doing this, we think it’s quite fun."

"You don’t need to understand, just do it. Divide the tasks among yourselves, by nightfall, I want to see the results! Remember our core principle, lively! Lively! Still lively!" Qin Shou said.

Everyone promised to do so and then dispersed.

Qin Shou didn’t bother with much else, just waiting to check on them in the afternoon. In fact, Qin Shou never thought the tasks he had set for his subordinates, who all possessed magic, to be too hard for them; these ordinary tasks had no reason to be done poorly!

However, Qin Shou soon realized he had overestimated his subordinates’ comprehension abilities...

In the afternoon, when Qin Shou woke up, he went to Fenghua City to check on the situation, but as soon as he reached the main gate, his face turned dark!

"Lord Rabbit, you’re here? As per your instructions, we’ve hung up the lanterns you asked for, look! The gates and towers, all covered with lanterns! So beautiful! We’ve tested them, and once these lanterns are lit at night, absolutely! The whole city will be bathed in white light! It’s just like daytime!" Big Four Joys ran over excitedly to report.

Qin Shou gave a dry laugh, raised his hand, and finding that he couldn’t reach Big Four Joys’s head, he beckoned with his finger and said, "Bring your cat head down here, I’ll give you a buff!"

Big Four Joys didn’t understand what a buff was, thinking Qin Shou was rewarding him, he happily lowered his head and smiled, "Lord Rabbit, actually, the credit isn’t mine alone."

Following him, Yaoji, Yibing, Shakun, Jinghan, and others looked on with envy at Big Four Joys, each hesitating to speak, especially Yibing, who was just about to say, "Lord Rabbit, we also... "

Before he could finish, the Rabbit suddenly raised his hand and - smack!

Qin Shou slapped Big Four Joys on the forehead, and he was sent tumbling over!

Big Four Joys lay on the ground, feeling wronged, and said, "Lord Rabbit, what’s going on? I did exactly as you instructed!"

Qin Shou didn’t reply, instead turning to Yibing and said, "Yibing, what were you saying? What did you guys do?"

Although Yibing was a Boar Spirit, science had long since proved that pigs are smarter than dogs! The only drawback is that pigs have a bad memory, so unlike dogs, they can’t be trained as obediently...

Yibing seemed to have a fairly good memory and was a bit crafty. At this moment, he used his not-so-great brain to deduce that if he continued talking, he would likely get beaten up, so he immediately changed his words, "We think you look exceptionally handsome today, Lord Rabbit!"

Qin Shou gave him a dismissive glance, then turned back to Big Four Joys, "What, you’re still not convinced?"

Big Four Joys looked aggrieved.

Seeing this, Qin Shou became even more irritated and pointed at the lanterns on top of the wall, shouting, "Does your family hang white lanterns for every festival? Who taught you this?"

Realizing this is what upset Qin Shou, Big Four Joys quickly explained, "Lord Rabbit, do we even need to be taught this? White light is bright and clear!"

Qin Shou’s eyes rolled with frustration, "You... are you not a leopard demon, but a mutant pig demon?"

Big Four Joys scratched his head, "Lord Rabbit, I really think white is okay. I asked everyone for their opinions at the time, and they all agreed, ask them if you don’t believe me!"

After speaking, Big Four Joys looked toward the others, only to see them all collectively turning their heads away.

Big Four Joys’s face darkened instantly, "Will you speak up?"

As a result, everyone chorused, "We all think white is no good! Big Four Joys, stop trying to pass the buck at this time."

Upon hearing this, Big Four Joys’ face instantly turned green, pointing at everyone he said, "You..."

Qin Shou waved his hand and said, "Enough, enough, hurry up and take down these white lanterns. Change them all to red for me!"

Desperate to redeem himself, Big Four Joys immediately ran off to change the lanterns.

Luckily, they were all demons, each of them might not be great at magic, but climbing walls and such were as easy as pie for them. Especially that group of Octopuses, they were as good as eight men each. The Bird Spirits took down the lanterns, and the Octopuses immediately began painting the white lanterns red with brushes, changing them at an incredibly fast pace.

Qin Shou entered Fenghua City to check if these idiots had caused any other trouble. As he stepped through the gates, he didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

He saw that everyone in Fenghua City was climbing buildings!

They were doing nothing else but taking down white lanterns and white banners...

The scene looked as though a rabbit had died and the whole city was mourning. Qin Shou heaved a long sigh, "Who told you guys to hang up white cloth? Is white cloth that worthless?"

Qin Shou knew very well that it would be impossible to use the osmanthus tree on the moon for weaving cloth, and there was no other material for that matter!

All the fabrics here had been brought by the Sea Clan and those little monsters from the Earthly Immortal Realm, you could say that they were depleting as they were used! Of course, Qin Shou could also make them using the Stone-to-Gold technique, but he alone could not supply the whole city with fabric. Qin Shou admitted he didn’t have the energy for that.

Moreover, there were other consumables in the city, not just fabric, and he couldn’t possibly account for everything.

So, seeing all this fabric just hanging on the buildings, he felt quite pained as well.

"I, your Rabbit Lord, also don’t understand your immortals’ rules..." Big Four Joys said with a wronged expression, "Back when we hid in the mountains, we didn’t have the chance to bother others. It was all just fooling around with other demons. We really didn’t know any human customs, let alone the rules of immortals."

Qin Shou waved his hand again, "Alright, alright! If I say something, just listen, and don’t backtalk me! Anyway, take down all this white cloth for me, switch it to red! Hm... other colors work too, but definitely no white! Lastly, what the heck are those over there?"

Qin Shou was pointing to a series of massive lanterns that were to be used for the Mid-Autumn Festival!

There’s nothing wrong with the lanterns, but Qin Shou couldn’t compliment the weird and bizarre shapes!

There were some with the bodies of octopuses and the heads of beauties, some with frog legs and the body of a spider, and turtles with rabbit shells...

As Qin Shou looked around, he didn’t see a single thing that was normal!

Wait, that’s not right. Qin Shou did find one normal thing, which was a turtle carrying a turtle shell on its back!

It stood there, hanging a lantern, with a dazed cute face...

Qin Shou approached and said, "This guy did a good job, it looks pretty real! But why does it seem so familiar to me? Oh my god, it just blinked at me!"

At that moment, the turtle turned its head and said with a speechless expression, "Rabbit, are you blind? It’s me, Chongba!"

Qin Shou exclaimed, "Holy shit, when did our moon become so full of life? A lantern just came to life! Bring someone over to catch this Lantern Spirit; throw it into the pot and stew it!"

The little monsters didn’t know Qin Shou was messing around and genuinely charged forward, grabbing Chongba and trying to throw him into a pot!

ps: Getting up early tomorrow for ancestor worship, so just two Chapters for today.
