Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Who Eats Whom [Part 3]_1

Qin Shou rubbed his hands together eagerly and said, "Well, you don’t need to worry about that. Come here, get into my bowl quickly, let I have a taste of what this Purple Gold Flower Mink tastes like. I’ve grown so big, yet I have never worn mink before."

The Purple Gold Flower Mink, seeing Qin Shou rubbing his hands and approaching, had legs that turned to jelly with fear. Yet, it still maintained a defiant tone to uphold its last bit of Heavenly God dignity and yelled, "Rabbit, if you don’t think for yourself, you should consider your master, no? If you kill me, the Heavenly Court won’t just hold you responsible!"

That sentence hit Qin Shou’s weak spot, and he stood there, chin in hand, falling into contemplation.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, the Purple Gold Flower Mink hurriedly said, "Don’t kill me, there’s still room to turn things around."

"Are you sure?" Qin Shou asked with a smile.

"Of course, my relationship with Master Si is extraordinarily good. I’ll put in a few good words for you all, and they definitely won’t make things difficult for you!" the Purple Gold Flower Mink, patting its chest so that it thumped, exclaimed.

Qin Shou’s eyes brightened, and he licked his lips, remarking, "You’ve got pretty developed pecs there..."

"That’s all fat, not tasty, the really greasy kind," the Purple Gold Flower Mink said cautiously, shrinking its pecs.

Qin Shou chuckled and said, "I can spare your life, but you need to make a vow. I know the Heavenly Dao governs oaths, never failing to enforce them. Swear to the Heavenly Dao, and I will believe you."

Upon hearing there was still a way to live, the Purple Gold Flower Mink quickly raised its paw, and almost simultaneously, it whooshed away, darting toward the cave entrance!

Qin Shou saw this and realized he’d been duped, lamenting in his head that the bastard was trying to flee!

Before Qin Shou could catch up, there was a loud ’thump’ as the Purple Gold Flower Mink slammed into the mouth of the cave and tumbled to the ground, failing to escape!

With a tearful tone, the Purple Gold Flower Mink complained, "Master Si, even if you want to stop the rabbit from escaping, you didn’t have to close up the exit so tight... You’re killing me here!"

Seeing this, Qin Shou immediately laughed, walked over, and with a sneer, said, "Trying to run? Then run, why don’t you?"

Having said that, Qin Shou grabbed the Purple Gold Flower Mink and swung it around, pummeling it without mercy!

The Purple Gold Flower Mink cried out in agony, "I was wrong, Master Rabbit, I swear, isn’t that enough for you?"

After a while of thrashing, as Qin Shou saw that the Purple Gold Flower Mink’s face was getting twisted, he stopped and crossed his arms, declaring, "Make your vow, and stop playing tricks. Your Master Si isn’t going to open the door and let you out!"

Hearing this, the Purple Gold Flower Mink practically had the heart to bash its head in, realizing for the first time in many years that Mo Lishou was nothing but a pig teammate—a total setup!

Having no other choice, the Purple Gold Flower Mink raised its paw and swore, "I, Purple Gold Flower Mink, swear to the Heavenly Dao that I shall never hold this rabbit accountable for anything it has done to me, won’t tattle, and will ensure their safe passage through the Southern Gate! If I break this vow, may my mind and spirit be annihilated, and may I die a horrendous death!"

Pleased, Qin Shou nodded and said, "Good, I’ll spare your life, but I have to leave my mark on you, otherwise wouldn’t it have been a waste for I to have acted?"

After saying this, Qin Shou lunged forward, and at the same time, the Purple Gold Flower Mink let out a piercing scream, "My leg!"

Outside, Mo Lishou was trying hard to persuade Chang’e not to act rashly when suddenly, the Purple Gold Flower Mink’s shrill howl stunned both Mo Lishou and Chang’e.

Mo Lishou and Chang’e exchanged glances, both seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.

Then, Mo Lishou quickly reached for his bag, and Chang’e, with a twirl of her large eyes, immediately said, "Heavenly Lord, wait a moment!"

Mo Lishou frowned and asked, "What is it?"

Chang’e grinned and said, "I think... you were right before. We should let the pets sort things out amongst themselves. Let them play..."

Before she could finish speaking, a pitiful squeal came from the bag: "Help! The rabbit is killing someone! Master Si, save me!"

On hearing this, Mo Lishou couldn’t care less about bickering with Chang’e, nor did he remember that these had been his own words. His face turned beet red, whether from embarrassment or panic was unclear, as he opened the bag and dumped out its contents!

A white shadow zoomed out, a white rat that was the transformed Purple Gold Flower Mink. The creature scrambled up Mo Lishou’s arm and onto his back, crying out, "Master Si, why did you take so long to let me out... wah wah... my legs."

Looking at the blood on his arm, Mo Lishou asked, "What... what happened?"

No sooner had he spoken than another white object fell from the bag. It somersaulted gracefully in mid-air, struck a pose, and exclaimed, "Ta-da-da-da... I have made a spectacular entrance, did I blind you with my titanium alloy dog eyes?"

"The rabbit, you’re not dead?" Mo Lishou furrowed his brows and asked in surprise.

"Yu’er, you’re alright?" Chang’e covered her mouth in joy and called out delightedly.

Qin Shou spun in place and even wiggled his sturdy waist, fluffing his short tail. "What’s all the fuss? The Flower Mink brother just invited me over as a guest. Don’t ask what I did, it was just a bit of exercise. They wanted to keep me for dinner, but I refused."

"A guest? Exercise? Dinner?" Both Mo Lishou and Chang’e were a bit dumbfounded. Something didn’t quite add up!

Qin Shou spread his hands and said, "That’s just the way it is, what else? Oh, right, take this!"

Qin Shou hurriedly tossed a leg from some unidentified creature to Chang’e, who caught it, frowning. "What is this?"

Qin Shou explained, "The Flower Mink brother felt it was a shame I didn’t stay for dinner, so he packed up a leg for me to take home. How about that? Nice of him, right? Isn’t that right, Flower Mink brother?"

As Qin Shou finished speaking, he turned and flashed a grin at the Flower Mink, his white teeth gleaming menacingly.

Upon hearing this, the Flower Mink bared his teeth as if he longed to bite the damn rabbit to death, but he restrained himself. Remembering his vow, he could only force out a pained acknowledgment: "Hmm..."

"Hmm?!" Mo Lishou wasn’t a fool. The situation clearly showed that his Flower Mink had been bullied. He was about to explode in anger...

When from a distance came a cacophony of voices: "Fairy, you left so quickly!"

"Fairy, please wait. I’ve just had an epiphany and would like to recite a poem for you!"

"Fairy, do you think my Immortal Crane has gotten a lot whiter?"

"Yun Kong, have you run out of things to say? Using a light-emitting spell as a conversation starter?"

"What’s wrong? If you’re so capable, cast a light-emitting spell on your Black Panther and see whether it gets whiter or blacker!"

"Your mom..."

...

Mo Lishou looked up and saw a large group of immortals arriving in a flurry. Although they were rogue immortals and not particularly powerful, Mo Lishou knew full well that to attend the Mid-Year Festival, they all had some background. With so many observers gathered, he had to handle the situation carefully... especially since with all these eyes on him, any further mishaps could lead to trouble.

Moreover, Mo Lishou had clearly misunderstood, thinking that these immortals were on Chang’e’s side. If he continued to make a scene, he would offend everyone there. If things escalated and the Jade Emperor came questioning, his situation would turn dire.
