Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Seeing I’s Hand Gesture_1

Dog Xiaotian and Green Lion’s faces turned black immediately...

The Rabbit laughed loudly, "I’m not saying a word! Haha..."

The two guys’ faces looked a bit better...

The Rabbit continued to laugh, "I said I wouldn’t mention dog and lion pairing anymore, and I absolutely won’t mention dog and lion pairing again!"

Dog Xiaotian’s face grew even darker, and Green Lion’s face turned even greener...

The two heavenly officials tried desperately to hold back their laughter, then they exchanged glances, both discerning the intentions in each other’s eyes. The Festival of Hungry Ghosts was a grand occasion, celebrated by all under Heaven, with the gates of the underworld wide open and souls being ferried. It was also a time for ancestral worship in the mortal realm, and joy was everywhere. If they went to complain now, it would be akin to bringing bad luck, so when they talked about reporting the issue, it was just talk.

Moreover, when it came to abilities and energy, Dog Xiaotian and Green Lion were beyond their comparison. They were minor immortals, and truly angering these big shots could make their lives difficult...

Furthermore, the current scuffle was a minor issue, not worth reporting and causing unnecessary trouble.

What they wanted was just to maintain order on the scene.

Now, this Rabbit was serving as a scapegoat, naturally, the two officials wouldn’t hold onto their dignity too tightly.

So, Immortal Official A said, "Since that’s the case, Rabbit, tell us, what exactly is going on here?"

Immortal Official B immediately added, "Let’s not bring up the lion and dog pairing anymore; we saw it."

As a result, Qin Shou immediately pointed at Immortal Official B and yelled, "Look! It wasn’t me who said it! It was him!"

Green Lion and Dog Xiaotian really wanted to kill that damn rabbit... but they still held back.

"Alright, Rabbit, tell us about what just happened," said Immortal Official A, while signaling to Immortal Official B with his eyes not to mention the lion and dog pairing again, lest the two big shots lose their temper and explode.

Immortal Official B kept silent...

Everyone’s gaze uniformly turned towards the drunken, plump Rabbit.

But that damn rabbit just stood there, raising its paw with a smile on its face, its big buck teeth gleaming in the sunlight... and yet, it remained silent!

"Why isn’t he speaking?"

"Come on, say something!"

"What is this damn rabbit doing?"

"Exactly... hurry up and talk!"

A group of demons discussed among themselves, growing more impatient and agitated, their eyes turning red, necks thickening. They probably would have gone for their weapons to stew the rabbit if it weren’t for the presence of the two heavenly officials.

Alas, the Rabbit just stood there, not uttering a word!

The two Immortal Officials also frowned but did not rush the Rabbit.

Dog Xiaotian and Green Lion had unpredictable looks on their faces. Just as the two Immortal Officials thought, although fighting was troublesome, it wasn’t much of a problem for both of them. After all, Dog Xiaotian’s master was the Immortal Master of Clear Origin and Good Path, and Erlang God was known for being willful and disobedient, living a solitary life at the Guan Estuary, living life his own way. The Jade Emperor wants to punish Dog Xiaotian? If the Immortal Master of Clear Origin and Good Path disagreed, the Jade Emperor would probably not be overly harsh.

The Green Lion’s master was from Buddhism, also ranking high in its hierarchy, and Buddhism has always protected its own. The Jade Emperor wouldn’t go so far as to disregard Buddhism’s dignity and execute him...

The reason for backing down was simply not to lose face for their masters at this grand event. Sometimes, immortals value their reputation more than their lives. If they were dragged out for a public denunciation, it was likely that both their masters’ dignity would be completely lost.

When they returned, the two would probably be beaten even worse...

Therefore, both of them pinned their hopes on this rabbit, but why was the damn rabbit not saying anything? Had he suddenly gone mute?

Just as the two officials looked over, they saw the rabbit suddenly turn around, with his back to the heavenly official, facing them. Then, he began to wink and smirk, while also stretching out his chubby little paw...

"What is he doing?" Dog Xiaotian sent a telepathic message to Green Lion.

Green Lion shook his head. "I don’t know, but his paw seems to be moving."

"Look carefully... it looks like the index finger and thumb are rubbing together non-stop, but also, not quite. The rabbit’s paw is too fat, it’s hard to see clearly," Dog Xiaotian said.

Upon hearing this, Green Lion’s face darkened. "That’s it then, the index finger rubbing against the thumb is a sign for wanting money. This damn rabbit is extorting us!"

When Dog Xiaotian heard this, his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. Someone actually dared to extort them? Had they grown a heart as bold as a bear’s and guts like a panther’s?

The two guys were dumbfounded... but they had to admit, at this moment, it seemed like this rabbit truly had the capital to extort them!

"Rabbit, you dare to extort us? Believe it or not, as soon as we leave this door, I’ll stew you!" Dog Xiaotian said with a threatening face through telepathy.

Qin Shou could not send telepathic messages, but he also knew that some things shouldn’t be spelled out, so he continued to rub his fingers together, the message was clear: no money, no talk!

Green Lion was obviously more thoughtful than Dog Xiaotian. Seeing that Qin Shou remained silent, he immediately sent a telepathic message: "I will teach you a technique for telepathic communication. You help us speak, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s eyes immediately lit up. Although he was drunk, his mind was still clear. Hearing a good offer, he instinctively nodded his head.

Qin Shou said nothing, and Green Lion had no choice but to simply teach him the skill.

The next moment, Qin Shou’s mind was filled with a mantra and the technique for using Yuan Qi to send telepathic messages.

This wasn’t a Great Divine Power, just an application of a small trick. So, after looking at it once and understanding the principle, Qin Shou learned it in an instant. The moment he activated the technique, the alcohol in his mind was dispersed, and Qin Shou sobered up. Thinking back on his actions just now, even he broke out in a cold sweat and cursed inwardly, "The wine of Heavenly Court is truly exceptional, delightful to drink and deadly when drunk!"

But what was done was done; he couldn’t turn back time. He had to embrace the spirit of a damn rabbit unfazed by boiling water, and tough it out!

"Don’t try to scare me. If you do, it makes me nervous, and when I get nervous, I don’t hold back and end up blurting out harsh truths," Qin Shou’s voice appeared in the minds of Dog Xiaotian and Green Lion.

The two of them heard this and were immediately enraged. It definitely was extortion! And they both figured out that this damn rabbit wasn’t drunk at all; he must have been faking it earlier!

They both thought of the irritating phrase ’like peas in a pod,’ and felt an intense loathing...

"What do you want? Do you really think we wouldn’t dare to kill you?" Dog Xiaotian hummed.

Qin Shou smiled crookedly and sent a telepathic message back: "Nothing much. Green Lion seems like a nice guy, so I’ll let it slide and won’t take his stuff. Dog Xiaotian, look, I hardly know any Immortal Laws. How about you also teach me some minor spell? Nothing profound, just ’Ride the Cloud, Drive the Mist’ would do."

Dog Xiaotian thought that Qin Shou would make exorbitant demands, asking for some powerful magic treasure or cultivation technique. When he heard it was only basic skills like ’Ride the Cloud, Drive the Mist,’ he breathed a sigh of relief. But then, to hear this damn rabbit actually praising Green Lion? Wasn’t that implying that he himself was not good?

Dog Xiaotian was not pleased!

Unhappy with Dog Xiaotian, Green Lion was delighted, laughing with a ’hehe’: "Dog Xiaotian, see that? That’s what you call character! This is character!"
