Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Carrying a Rabbit_1

"You think you’re better than everyone else now, you start walking around like you own the place, you start cursing people out, and you even start slapping people around."

"That’s how you get laden with karma."

"Then one day, as you’re cultivating, someone bearing a grudge sneaks into your home and stabs you... and everything ends there."

Qin Shou kind of understood...

The Rhino Spirit said, "So, calamities are often brought upon oneself. That’s why most cultivators have a generous nature rather than being petty. Those who are petty, who hold on to everything, attack others, and cause trouble, will naturally have trouble come looking for them, unless they become so powerful that they can overpower all their enemies. Otherwise, they will die along the way. Of course, most of these people end up becoming demons..."

When Qin Shou heard this, he did some calculations and realised that he had caused his fair share of trouble... He suddenly felt a bit guilty. Seeing this, the Rhino Spirit smirked and said, "You, Rabbit, don’t need to worry. The trouble you’ve stirred up isn’t that significant. Second, not everyone’s nature is that fragile. Even that Dog Xiaotian and that lion wouldn’t really hassle you over these trivial matters without any shame, bullying the weak. And besides... they wouldn’t dare trouble you."

"Dare not? Why?" Qin Shou’s heart trembled, and he asked subconsciously.

The Rhino Spirit shook his head and said, "The karma involved here is complicated, and can’t be fully explained in a short time. Besides, I can’t talk about it, as it would bring bad luck. In short, you don’t have to fear becoming entangled with karma; on the contrary, the more karma you accumulate, the more it will affect the changes in your body. Right now, your body is like a starving ghost who has been brought back to life, seeing Yuan Qi and devouring it, going mad one after another. If you don’t have enough Yuan Qi, they will devour you... so, to stay alive, you must keep your Yuan Qi abundant.

Of course, the benefit is that your strength is increasing at a terrifying pace, and the toughness of your body... Well... you’ll understand just how monstrous it is later on.

If you find your Yuan Qi can’t keep up, then go cause some trouble. The power of karma will make them simmer down... It’s an instinct of all living beings; when faced with death, they tend to cower a bit."

Hearing this, Qin Shou touched his body and said, "Why do I feel a bit creeped out when you say that? Does my body have its own consciousness?"

The Rhino Spirit shook his head and said, "Of course not, it’s all just the instinct of living beings. If I absolutely have to give you an explanation, there’s only one - your clan’s bodies are too monstrous, too powerful! And the craving for resources is also too intense. That’s why many people don’t want to... cough cough... I can’t talk about the rest, saying too much is no good for you. In short, if you can’t stand it, just go do it, the bigger the karma, the better the effect."

But Qin Shou felt itchy all over upon hearing that, yet he still thought that the Rhino Spirit was only telling him half of what he knew; his body was definitely not simply about causing karma and being scared into giving up on consuming Yuan Qi. There must be some other reason! However, it seemed the Rhino Spirit was also somewhat wary, so he didn’t reveal it. It was apparent from the evasive glances of the Rhino Spirit - he was telling Qin Shou, "I can’t say, but you must realize there are other reasons, and you have to figure it out yourself."

Qin Shou didn’t press the issue any further. It was hard enough to find someone willing to clarify his doubts, so he quickly asked more questions, "You keep mentioning our clan, just what clan are we exactly?"

After pondering for a moment, the Rhino Spirit replied, "I can’t say, but there is a nickname for your clan that I can tell you."

Qin Shou perked up instantly and asked, "What’s the nickname? Let’s hear it, it must be pretty awesome, right?"

The Rhino Spirit chuckled and said, "Indeed, it’s awesome. Only your clan in heaven and earth is worthy of this title."

"Tell me the name!" Qin Shou was getting excited, knowing that just a nickname would give him a clue, and he could then begin to slowly investigate it.

He wasn’t afraid he wouldn’t find out his background and uncover more secrets!

Thinking of this, Qin Shou took a contented sip of his drink.

The Rhino Spirit took a deep breath, utterly serious, and said word by word, "The other name for your clan is—Shit-stick Clan!"

"Pfft!" Qin Shou sprayed a mouthful of wine onto the Rhino Spirit’s face, but the Rhino Spirit didn’t mind, wiping it off and asking, "Isn’t that badass?"

Qin Shou rolled his eyes and replied, "Badass... really badass... I really don’t know what my ancestors did to earn such a badass reputation..."

The Rhino Spirit chuckled and said, "To survive, your clan has never been the well-behaved sort."

Qin Shou, rendered speechless, thought for a moment and asked, "If we’re so badass, then why was I thrown onto the moon to wait for death?"

The Rhino Spirit shook his head and said, "That, I don’t know, but I’ve heard a few things, which might be of use to you."

"What things?" Qin Shou grew even more curious.

The Rhino Spirit said mysteriously, "Ah, it’s so boring to chat like this."

Qin Shou quickly pushed the wine jug towards the Rhino Spirit and poured him more wine.

But the Rhino Spirit looked disgusted and said, "You call this wine? Have you never tasted real fine wine? Not to mention the drinks at this meeting place of yours—none of them are any good. For a chat, you need good wine and good food. Just having fruit with wine? What kind of drinking is that?"

Qin Shou instinctively asked, "Then what goes well with wine?"

The Rhino Spirit glanced sideways, looking towards Dog Xiaotian.

In an instant, Qin Shou’s face darkened. This guy is always thinking about eating! After all that talk and buildup, whetting his entire appetite and curiosity, it all came back to this.

The Rhino Spirit snickered and said, "Rabbit, what do you say, help me out? In return for good wine and meat, I can tell you a lot about your clan, even teach you a few magic tricks, so you can move freely between Heaven and earth. No need to be stuck on that moon, leading a miserable life..."

Qin Shou didn’t reply but asked, "One last question: Isn’t the moon supposed to be forbidden territory? But I feel like, apart from the lack of people and almost no Yuan Qi, there’s nothing particularly forbidden about it."

The Rhino Spirit said, "Well, that’s a long story. The moon being forbidden territory wasn’t stipulated by the Heavenly Court, but rather..."

Just as the Rhino Spirit was about to say something, suddenly they heard Dog Xiaotian laugh out loud, "The Second Master is here!"

The Rhino Spirit trembled all over and quickly turned to look, just as a majestic and extraordinary man walked in through the door!

At that moment, the Rhino Spirit slapped Qin Shou on the head and whispered, "Don’t make a sound..."

In an instant, the Rhino Spirit suddenly slapped Qin Shou on the shoulder, and to Qin Shou’s astonishment, he shrank like a bubble and was gripped in the palm of the Rhino Spirit’s hand, promptly stuffed into his pocket. At the same time, the Rhino Spirit transformed into Qin Shou’s likeness, took his seat, and began leisurely sipping wine with narrowed eyes...
