Chapter 372: Chapter 367 Hello, Jujube!_1

The sword was all pitted and dimpled as though it had been hammered...

"You dumb tree, you think I’m easy to bully?" Dou Wood Rhino roared as it grew larger within the dust, its head emerging from the cloud!

But before Dou Wood Rhino could do anything, Conghua slapped it right back into place, just like playing a game of whack-a-mole! Dou Wood Rhino had no power to resist at all!

Qin Shou watched the dust cloud, silently counting the time: "One, two, three!"

Clang!

A dark object fell in front of Qin Shou who saw it was Dou Wood Rhino’s single-horned helmet.

Qin Shou wiped the sweat from his forehead. Only now did he realize that the little sapling he had always deemed a mere weakling and fool was actually so fierce!

But after thinking it through, Qin Shou could understand why.

That day when the Jade Emperor fought an epic battle with the lady, heaven and earth had turned upside down, the stars shattered, and the Imperial Garden was left in complete ruins, not a hair remaining! Yet, Conghua relied on its own abilities to protect most of the plants’ seeds and even survived itself!

Though severely weakened, it had survived and even rebuilt the Imperial Garden!

This skill should have clued Qin Shou in on Conghua’s extraordinary nature long ago!

Among the treasures of heaven and earth, immortal level treasures are classified into four grades: heavenly, earthly, profound, and yellow. Yellow grade is commonly used, profound level is already rare, earth level is hard to come by, and heavenly level is almost never seen.

Qin Shou had gnawed on profound-level old trees, so he was well aware that at least those of the profound level couldn’t do what Conghua did, and even earth level was likely out of the question!

There was only one answer then, Conghua was a heavenly level BOSS!

What’s the concept of a heavenly level? The grand formations of the Imperial Garden, the grand formations of the Heavenly Court, none could restrain him once he became enlightened...

Before Qin Shou could sort out his thoughts, Conghua stopped its thrashing of the Three Star constellations. It began to shrink in size, until it was about the height of a person, joyously holding a small tree branch. Skewered like candied haws on the branch, through the pants of Dou Wood Rhino, Jing Wood Moose, and Kui Wood Wolf, Conghua carried the three over cheerfully.

To Qin Shou, it looked like in the eyes of the little sapling, these three guys had something in their pants to get snagged on, so that’s where it threaded through...

But the more Qin Shou thought about it, the colder he felt around his crotch...

Conghua shook its head, seemingly saying, "It’s okay now, I’ve knocked them out."

Qin Shou wanted to be happy, but then he realized attacking a Heavenly God was a grave sin! If the little sapling Conghua continued to stay here and Emperor Gouchen decided to pursue the matter, the little sapling would be in danger.

No matter how awesome Conghua was, it couldn’t possibly outmatch an Overlord, right? That would be Emperor Gouchen, the Heavenly Overlord, who was on par with the Jade Emperor!

Qin Shou had seen the Jade Emperor’s methods himself; Conghua was certainly no match.

With no other choice, Qin Shou said, "Conghua, these three may be up to no good, but they really are Heavenly Gods. After such a beatdown, there might be trouble."

Conghua gave a little shake.

Qin Shou bitterly smiled, "You might not be afraid, but I am. That’s it. Pack up your seeds and your friends’, prepare to hit the road with me, the rabbit overlord."

Having said this, Qin Shou regretted it. In his mind, Conghua had considered this place home, and asking it to leave with Qin Shou felt somewhat heartless.

Yet Conghua wiggled its little leaves... and actually hopped around cheerfully.

Only then did Qin Shou realize the little guy had longed to go out for a stroll but had never had the chance!

Thus, Qin Shou pointed at the Eight Trigrams Furnace on his head and said, "See if you can turn into something like that and hang on my body. It will make it easier for us to run faster later..."

Conghua stepped closer to examine the Eight Trigrams Furnace which grumbled unwillingly, "You could become a grass ring and put it around his head, hehe..."

Qin Shou slapped the Eight Trigrams Furnace right away, scolding, "Get lost! If anyone dares to add a spot of green on the head of I, the rabbit overlord, I will eat them up!"

Conghua naturally wouldn’t fall for that. Shaking its body, flowers and grasses around began to sway, and a myriad of seeds gathered towards it. Eventually, Conghua stored them all in a pouch and transformed into a slender grass rope hanging from Qin Shou’s wrist.

Qin Shou looked at it and was quite pleased, "I must say, it’s really beautiful!"

Conghua shook again...

Qin Shou glanced at the still unconscious Kui Wood Wolf, Dou Wood Rhino, and Jing Wood Moose, raised an eyebrow, and said, "These three shouldn’t go to waste. Conghua, can you seal their mana and magical powers?"

Conghua indicated it could and immediately, three green seals flew and imprinted on the bodies of Kui Wood Wolf, Dou Wood Rhino, and Jing Wood Moose. After that, Qin Shou tied them all up into a bunch and dragged them as he ran out!

While running, Qin Shou occasionally touched the three, chanting, "Steal Heaven, steal Earth, steal your underwear..."

Then the fellow would occasionally grin and laugh in utter delight...

Meanwhile, Kui Wood Wolf, Dou Wood Rhino, and Jing Wood Moose were captured separately and dragged out by the Rabbit.

Nezha and Li Jing saw everything clearly, and then Nezha asked, "Shall we go up?"

Li Jing replied, "We’re the defeated generals now, you don’t need me to teach you how defeated armies behave, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Nezha said, "You’re quite the expert in this, aren’t you?"

Li Jing’s forehead was instantly filled with black lines, and after glaring at Nezha, he shouted loudly, "Retreat!"

Then, Li Jing, leading some men, started to run away, dropping all sorts of miscellaneous things while running. Li Jing might not be the most powerful general, but his cunning ideas were far more numerous than those of many Heavenly Gods...

This could be seen from Li Jing’s record in "Investiture of the Gods"; his strength during those times was practically that of a weakling, but regardless of who the enemy was, how many people died on his side, or how powerful the bigwigs who perished were, he would always bounce back as the first one to run away, then go find reinforcements, pull in outside support, and make a comeback attack.

Moreover, he could play both sides, pledging allegiance to Buddhism while serving as a Heavenly God of the Taoist tradition, which suggested a slickness of mind far beyond that of others.

And lastly, Li Jing was ruthless when it came to achieving certain goals, often shamelessly so.

Back when the Dragon King attacked Qiantang Pass, in order to protect his family from extinction and the entire population from being wiped out, he unhesitatingly sold out his own son...

However, his temperament had changed over the years, which is why he was now fighting so desperately for the sake of his son and daughter’s beloved. But it must be said that his mind was still sharp; Li Jing, leading Nezha and others, shouted that the Rabbit had run away while calling for a retreat. Instead of heading towards Lingxiao Hall or towards areas with powerful deities, he directed the retreat towards the vicinity of female families or gods with little combat power.

Upon seeing Li Jing running in distress, which god would dare to step forward and put on airs?

As a result, the Rabbit had a clear path and sprinted all the way out of the heavenly palace and into Tianyong City!

But upon arriving at the gates of Tianyong City, a loud voice was heard: "Rabbit, halt! I am here on orders!"

Simultaneously, a cacophony of crow caws filled the air, piercing and clearly numbering many.

Qin Shou then saw a figure riding a warhorse shrouded in black smoke, speeding towards him from a distance, shrouded overhead by a dark cloud! Upon closer inspection, what seemed like dark clouds was actually a flock of crows billowing with black smoke!

Unable to help himself, Qin Shou cursed, "What the heck! How did he pass the annual inspection? Don’t traffic police and the environmental department care?"

While grumbling, Qin Shou knew that the man was bad news and that it would be wise to run first.

But how can one on foot outrun someone on horseback?

The man cornered Qin Shou after a turn, his horse standing sideways, and said, "Rabbit, Emperor Gouchen has ordered: will you go to prison on your own, or should I take action?"

Only then did Qin Shou get a good look at the man’s appearance. At first glance, he almost blurted out, "Are you a member of a rock band? All red hair and even the beard dyed red."

But then looking at his face, it was the color of a date, just like Guan Yu!

However, the man had three eyes!

In his mind, Qin Shou exclaimed, "Are you some offspring from a marriage between the relatives of Erlang God and Guan Yu?"

The man wore a bright red robe adorned with rolling fire clouds, rode a warhorse resembling a red dragon with flames for hooves and smoke billowing around its body. He carried two longswords at his waist and exuded an aura of pride.

Just then, Li Jing’s voice arrived, "Careful! This is Huode Star Monarch, Luo Xuan! He is a disciple of the Jie Cult, the Flame Immortal from Fire Dragon Island. He is extremely powerful and his possessions include the Flying Smoke Sword, Thousand-mile Smoke, the Raven Pot, the Five Dragons Wheel, and the Zhaotian Seal!"

Upon hearing this from Li Jing, Qin Shou suddenly remembered a segment about Luo Xuan from "Investiture of the Gods". It seemed that with just one subordinate, this man had fought a big battle against Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, Jiang Ziya, and a group of others, who only managed to gain a bit of the upper hand because they had more people. Later in the evening, Luo Xuan and his subordinate Liu Huan used Thousand-mile Smoke to set fire to Xiqi City!

But that wasn’t the point; the issue was...

Shouting through his divine sense, Qin Shou yelled at Li Jing, "What are you shouting for? Didn’t you capture him back then as a sign of allegiance to Xiqi City? Hurry up and make your move!"

When Li Jing heard this, his face flushed red, and he coughed awkwardly, "Now we are both Heavenly Gods serving the Heavenly Court. He is acting on orders. If I attack, would it not be the same as rebellion? Rabbit, I’ve done all I can by not capturing you, which is quite a favor already."

Although Qin Shou understood the logic, he remained unwilling to accept it. Luo Xuan was a formidable opponent and Qin Shou doubted he could defeat him. If he couldn’t, it wouldn’t just be his own life at stake, but also that of Conghua, who he was holding!

In desperation, Qin Shou’s mind raced for a solution until he suddenly recalled many details from "Investiture of the Gods" and then gave up on seeking Li Jing’s help.

If he remembered correctly, although Li Jing had captured Luo Xuan, at the time of Luo Xuan’s capture, all his treasures had been taken by Princess Long Ji, and he had also been injured. Li Jing simply had to throw a pagoda to capture Luo Xuan with ease.

It was like a formidable Garen charging into a crowd, using all his skills, barely surviving with a sliver of health, and running home, only to meet a level three Teemo who then gets the kill with one Q.

It wasn’t that Luo Xuan was inferior to Li Jing, but rather Li Jing was just too good at picking off kills!

Now that both were max level accounts with a full set of divine gear, of course, Li Jing wouldn’t dare to emerge and challenge Luo Xuan to a duel...

With this in mind, Qin Shou looked up at Luo Xuan and asked, "Big Date, what if I refuse to surrender?"
