Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Bastard Rabbit_1

So Yunkong True Master coughed to cover his embarrassment and then said in the tone of an elder schooling a newcomer, "Stay ten meters away, and for every meter closer to the fairy, you must give this Rabbit a magic treasure. Otherwise, no deal..."

The peacock-riding Immortal immediately froze, "Is that really a rule?"

"It’s our house rule," Qin Shou said, tilting his head up.

"What if I refuse? What if I just follow you?" The other party clearly also felt a bit of heartache.

Qin Shou said, "It’s fine by me. I’ll just record it, and when the Mid-Year Festival comes, I’ll find someone to bring a complaint. A grand Immortal stalking a lady with ill intentions!"

The other party was taken aback. If this were truly recorded and brought up in a complaint, he would indeed have a hard time explaining himself. While some things are tacitly understood, once brought to the light, it becomes a real issue!

Instantly deflated, the other party conceded, "You’re ruthless! I obtained this Magic Artifact just yesterday. Here, it’s yours."

Qin Shou hurriedly took it. Upon inspection, he found it was a small sword.

Qin Shou didn’t recognize its value, and Chang’e didn’t understand it either, but there was someone who did!

Qin Shou immediately asked Yunkong True Master, "Yunkong, look at this sword, it seems better than what you gave me."

Yunkong True Master was immediately anxious upon hearing this. How could he lose face in front of a beauty? He exclaimed, "How is that possible? My Sea-blue Stone is just a material, but even a pinch of its powder is stronger than this piece of trash Magic Artifact!"

"You gave him Sea-blue Stone?!" exclaimed the peacock-riding Immortal.

Yunkong True Master held his head high, "Of course! Honestly, your thing is a bit embarrassing to present. I feel ashamed for you."

The peacock-riding Immortal’s face turned red with shame, and he stammered, "This..."

Seeing this, Qin Shou glanced at him and said, "With such a lack of sincerity, what’s with the act? Go where it’s cool and stay there."

"Wait, who says I lack sincerity? What I just gave was just an appetizer; this is the real welcome gift." The peacock-riding Immortal gritted his teeth and took out a piece of gold, saying, "This is Taiyi Profound Gold; its hardness is not inferior to Sea-blue Stone. Moreover, it is extremely ductile, and just a bit of it can make a Magic Artifact extremely sharp, able to slice through iron like mud..."

Crack!

The peacock-riding Immortal hadn’t finished bragging when he heard a crisp sound. Glancing sideways, he saw the Rabbit putting his Taiyi Profound Gold in its mouth, biting off a piece with ease, and then crunching away...

Seeing the peacock-riding Immortal looking over, Qin Shou smacked his lips and said, "Did you just say it was very hard?"

The peacock-riding Immortal swallowed nervously and quickly shook his head, "It’s alright, I guess..."

Qin Shou said, "Indeed, it’s alright. You’ve passed. Keep up."

Qin Shou waved his hand, and Chang’e continued on her way, flanked now by two Immortals with faces as black as ink. The two gents chatted in whispers behind her.

"Fellow Daoist, with the Rabbit being such a scam, why didn’t you warn me?"

"Even if I had warned you, would you have believed me? Damn it, once I get back to the mountains, I’m eating two rabbits first thing to vent my anger. My Sea-blue Stone...just like that, schnookered away by him."

"My Taiyi Profound Gold... Oh, what breaks my heart the most is that after giving away such valuable stuff, it didn’t even make a splash. It’s all the fault of that damn rabbit. How can its teeth be so good?"

"Indeed, that rabbit’s up to no good!"

...

Ignoring the two people behind him seething with resentment, Qin Shou found that more and more people kept appearing in front of Chang’e. Some were showing off, cruising by with their dazzling magic treasures; some tried to look profound, walking on an auspicious cloud with hands clasped behind their back, and then there was...

"Hey mister, with a beard that long, can’t you stop meddling?" Qin Shou finally couldn’t stand it and shouted.

The old Immortal looked back at Qin Shou and said, "This Immortal is just passing by..."

"Do you have no shame? You think I can’t recognize you if you change your clothes? Let me tell you, even if you changed your underwear, I’d still recognize you!" Qin Shou shouted.

The old Immortal’s face was full of embarrassment...

Qin Shou rubbed his temples and said, "I mean...have you all cultivated your emotional intelligence away? One after another, showing off in front of us, what for? To put it bluntly, isn’t it just to pick up girls? Why not be direct? The Barefoot Immortal comes right up with gifts to start a conversation. Those two Immortals gave Sea-blue Stones and Taiyi Profound Gold and were fortunate enough to tag along. But what about you? Empty-handed and wandering aimlessly, what are you up to? Trying to pick up girls without spending a dime, being as poor as you guys are, I’m embarrassed for you!"

"Where did this damn rabbit come from? Such a nasty mouth," a bearded Immortal with a dark face exclaimed.

Qin Shou glanced at the man and said, "What would you do if a bunch of old men went to your backyard and kept loitering around your wife?"

The dark-skinned Immortal was at a loss for words when he heard this...he figured he’d immediately grab a weapon and start a fight.

Qin Shou certainly wanted to grab a weapon and fight too, but he was no match! If gifts were not collected, these guys would keep hanging around, and Qin Shou and Chang’e had no suitable solutions. They couldn’t really complain at the Mid-Yuan Festival gathering, could they? With so many big immortals there, should they bring up this issue? Besides, whether they’d even have a chance to speak was another matter.

If they couldn’t make their opponents feel a pinch in the flesh, then they would make them feel a pinch in the heart, which was Qin Shou’s little scheme!

So Qin Shou said, "Alright, pay up or get lost! I’ve memorized all of your faces. Trying to pick up girls without money, I’ll remember you poor ghosts of Immortals. Come the Mid-Yuan Festival gathering, I’ll make you famous."

Originally, there weren’t many Immortals actually loitering around Chang’e; most were just there for the spectacle. Especially after Qin Shou’s loud shout, even more people came to watch the drama unfold.

Now, hearing what Qin Shou had just said, their faces turned black one by one...

"This rabbit is such a damn bastard. If we don’t give something valuable now and just walk away, does that make us broke show-offs and paupers? And then we’ll get blasted by him at the Mid-Yuan Festival gathering?"

"If word got out, who would dare to show their face in public?"

"It would be so embarrassing..."

The crowd suddenly realized, to their dismay, that they had all fallen into a pit just by coming to watch the show!

"You’re ruthless!" the old Immortal cursed, yet still threw a treasure to Qin Shou, a glazed lamp!

Qin Shou immediately glanced at Yunkong True Master and asked, "How does this treasure compare to your Sea-blue Stone?"

The old Immortal rolled his eyes and said, "It’s no worse than his Sea-blue Stone. This is good stuff!"

Seeing this, the black-faced rogue immortal’s eyes flashed with a cunning light, figuring that if he gave something on his own, this rabbit would likely scrutinize every gift in comparison. At this moment, whoever gave the lesser gift would surely lose face. If he could slip something worthless past unnoticed, wouldn’t he also get by?

The rogue immortals who shared the same idea as the black-faced one were not few. They exchanged looks and slightly nodded to each other, in silent agreement.

So, while the black-faced rogue immortal watched Qin Shou and the old Immortal banter, he stepped forward and declared, "Rabbit, catch the Magic Artifact!"
