Chapter 342: Chapter 339 Not a Single Hair Left_1

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Taibai Star Monarch descended from the sky, holding aloft a scroll of the imperial edict, his presence majestic and solemn!

The chaos on the scene came to an abrupt halt, but Qin Shou had no intention of releasing the Red-crowned Crane Immortal from the Eight Trigrams Furnace and merely lay atop the furnace, looking up at Taibai Star Monarch.

Taibai Star Monarch, seeing this, felt a wave of helplessness. This Rabbit itself had a decree from the Jade Emperor exempting it from kneeling.

And probably in the whole world, only this Rabbit would accept an imperial edict while lying down.

The Red-crowned Crane Immortal in the Eight Trigrams Furnace sneered, "Rabbit, aren’t you going to let me out? The Jade Emperor’s decree is likely about questioning your crimes!"

Qin Shou pretended not to hear and remained unmoved. He didn’t believe that the Jade Emperor could have known beforehand that he had captured a bird.

The Red-crowned Crane Immortal said, "I belong to the Queen Mother; you dare treat me like this, when I get back, you’re going to pay!"

Qin Shou knocked on the Eight Trigrams Furnace and said, "Burn off all her feathers!"

"You dare!" The Red-crowned Crane Immortal was truly frightened and screamed out loud.

But both the Eight Trigrams Furnace and the Rabbit were bold and audacious. At the Rabbit’s command, the furnace immediately released the Six Ding Divine Fire; it merely swept over the body of the Red-crowned Crane Immortal. With a cry of alarm, her outer garments were gone! Naked, she stood in the furnace; it took her a moment to regain her senses before she shrieked and huddled into a ball, summoning her magic to cover her body and gnashing her teeth she said, "Damn Rabbit, I..."

Just then, Taibai Star Monarch said, "By the order of the Jade Emperor, Qin Shou is conferred the title of Jade Rabbit of the Moon Palace!"

Qin Shou was stunned, and so was the Red-crowned Crane Immortal in the Eight Trigrams Furnace. She had thought this imperial edict was to remedy the verbal edict of the Queen Mother, but it turned out to be a conferment! A conferment at this time? The Red-crowned Crane Immortal felt it odd...

Qin Shou, although astounded, still nodded and accepted the order. After all, he was meant to be the Jade Rabbit either way.

Then he heard Taibai Star Monarch say, "Jade Rabbit, since you have accepted the conferment, you must now undertake the duties of a Heavenly God. Starting today, you are responsible for grinding medicinal herbs in the Moon Palace..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s face immediately darkened, and he jumped up, pointing at Taibai Star Monarch and exclaimed, "Old man! That’s really underhanded of you! I trusted you, and this is how you screw me over?"

The Red-crowned Crane Immortal in the Eight Trigrams Furnace burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Rabbit, you could’ve refused earlier, but now, do you dare not grind the herbs?"

Qin Shou knocked on the furnace and said, "Don’t leave her a single feather!"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace once again burst into flames of the Six Ding Divine Fire, and from inside, a cry of alarm was heard, followed by a cold laugh, "Rabbit, is that all you’ve got?"

Without another word, Qin Shou pulled out a mirror and threw it into the Eight Trigrams Furnace, speaking indifferently, "Take a look in the mirror before you talk to me."

After that, Qin Shou covered his ears...

Taibai Star Monarch didn’t understand what Qin Shou meant, but the next moment, a piercing scream came from the furnace, "Damn Rabbit! I’m going to fight you to the death!"

Then there was the sound of loud thumping against the inner walls of the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Qin Shou paid her no mind and fixed his eyes on Taibai Star Monarch, "Old man, if you don’t give me an explanation, I’m moving into your place tomorrow!"

Taibai Star Monarch, upon hearing this, truly got a fright!

When he first encountered Qin Shou, that had been a complete financial disaster! Afterwards, the Rabbit went to the Dragon Palace, and now the Dragon King of the East Sea eats braised rabbit head every day. There’s even a huge straw rabbit set up outside the door, and whenever spirits move him, he’d stick it with needles a few times...

And that’s the fabulously wealthy Dragon King of the East Sea. If this Rabbit were to go to his place?

He had only just managed to save up a bit of a nest egg, and now it would probably revert to pre-liberation levels immediately...

Thinking this, Taibai Star Monarch hurriedly descended, took Qin Shou aside, and whispered with a chuckle, "Rabbit, don’t you forget someone’s good intentions, eh?"

Qin Shou, with arms crossed, said, "And what exactly are your ’good intentions’?"

Taibai Star Monarch looked around to make sure no one else was there, then transmitted his voice, "You silly Rabbit, what do you lack the most? Isn’t it Yuan Qi? Having you grind herbs, with so many of them, who can keep track of how much they’ve given you? You just sneak a little... uh-huh? Eat a bit, scrape a bit... Easy earnings, get it?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s eyes immediately lit up! He then chuckled and said, "Old man, listen to how you say that... Am I that sort of person? My character is famously good, you know! As for how many herbs you have, just bring them all to me. I assure you, not even a single leaf will stir!"

Taibai Star Monarch trusted this damn rabbit to behave? Not likely. He laughed, gave Qin Shou a knowing look, then cleared his throat and said loudly, "Rabbit, are you willing to take on this task?"

Qin Shou promptly responded, "The Jade Emperor’s command is not to be disobeyed!"

"Good, this is the herb you need to grind. Get it done quickly, and I will return in four hours to collect it. Remember, only you must do this, if someone else appears, hmm hmm..." Taibai Star Monarch hummed threateningly, seeming to intimidate the Rabbit.

But only Taibai Star Monarch himself knew that he was threatening damn all! This Rabbit had a Saint backing him up and was, in essence, a super troublemaker!

Even though the Jade Emperor was the Lord of Heaven and Earth, when facing this troublemaker, he also felt a profound headache!

Beat him? If this rabbit resisted, and you hit him too hard, killing him would cause a huge mess—now that would be a real disaster. Not to death? If this rabbit really rushed up to bite, and he did manage a bite—that would be too embarrassing.

Trap him? With the Rabbit’s sharp teeth, there really wasn’t a good place to confine him. If it were before, when the Rabbit hadn’t begun cultivation, tossing him onto the moon could have kept him trapped indefinitely.

But now...

So, Taibai Star Monarch wasn’t keeping things quiet to scare someone. He simply had no idea how to scare this Rabbit!

Qin Shou didn’t know this, thinking that Taibai Star Monarch was really threatening him... But that wasn’t important. What Qin Shou valued was the herbs he could pocket; as for the rest, he couldn’t care less!

With that, Qin Shou waved his paw and said, "Fine! I’ll get to work now!"

As Qin Shou was about to leave, Taibai Star Monarch quickly called out, "Rabbit, wait! That thing... in the Furnace, can you release it?"

Qin Shou thought for a moment and nodded, "Cauldron, release him!"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace immediately opened its lid, and the next moment a beam of white light shot out, followed by an exceedingly angry voice that seemed to condense the boundless fury of the water of the Milky Way: "Rabbit, I’ll kill you!"

Just as that beam of light was about to strike, Taibai Star Monarch flicked his finger, and with a ’clang,’ the white light was ensnared by a metallic white steel hoop, which snapped shut and the figure fell to the ground with a thud. Then, looking up furiously and grinding its teeth as if it wanted to bite Qin Shou to death, was the figure caught in the hoop.

Taibai Star Monarch originally wanted to scold the Red-crowned Crane Immortal for not understanding the rules, acting rashly, and lacking the etiquette of the Heavenly Court.
