Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Black Demon Box_1

Ji Dian spread his hands upon hearing this and said, "Then you’ve got the wrong person. I’m famously poor, the thieving kind of poor..."

Qin Shou looked at Ji Dian suspiciously and asked, "Really?"

Ji Dian said, "Really! Absolutely true! If I’m lying, may my last name not be Ji!"

Qin Shou rolled his eyes and said, "Don’t think I don’t know, your last name is Li!"

Ji Dian’s face turned red as he coughed and said, "I really don’t have anything extra to give you."

"I don’t believe you. I’ll search myself." After saying this, Qin Shou jumped onto Ji Dian, rummaging through his clothes in a frenzy. After a thorough search, he indeed found nothing. However, when Qin Shou got to the pockets... he was stunned. Ancient clothing, especially trousers, basically didn’t have pockets. So, it was rare to find someone with pockets on their trousers...

And Qin Shou had once encountered someone with pockets on their trousers, and they weren’t just any ordinary pockets, but a magic treasure pocket!

A thought struck Qin Shou. He peeked inside and, sure enough, saw two slits on the pocket. He stretched a paw in to feel around...

"What are you doing? Harassing me?" shouted Ji Dian as he suddenly tightened his waistband and pressed his hand against Rabbit’s paw, becoming agitated.

Qin Shou grinned without making a sound, and continued to search the other side. The paw emerged from the trousers, two holes, no more, no less! One led to the Xumi Bag; the other to the outside of the trousers...

Recollecting Ji Dian’s previous strange reaction, as well as his history of eating dog meat, Qin Shou’s eyes suddenly lit up. However, he said nothing, withdrew his paw, returned to the table, sat cross-legged, and looked at Ji Dian with a smile, saying, "Ji Dian, I’ll tell you a secret."

"What secret?" Ji Dian asked.

Qin Shou said, "Not only do I have good teeth, but I also have a loud voice. Believe it or not, with one shout from me, everyone here will know you’re a thief..."

"Shut up!" Ji Dian quickly covered Qin Shou’s mouth.

Determined, Qin Shou stretched out a paw and rubbed his fingers together... Damn it, he had been scared half to death earlier, thinking he was going to be captured and stewed with the dog meat. Finally finding his victim, If Qin Shou didn’t swindle him back, then his last name wouldn’t be Qin!

"I really don’t have anything to give you," said Ji Dian.

Qin Shou pushed Ji Dian’s hand away and said, "That’s enough; I’m going back. Take your time to think. Once I leave Cloud Altar and if you haven’t thought it through, I won’t come back. Oh dear, I haven’t even gone to thank Immortal Master of Clear Origin and Good Path yet, I better go now..."

"Stop right there!" Ji Dian, upon hearing this, became immediately anxious. He was well aware of Yang Jian’s temperament; if Yang Jian found out that he was the one considering praying on Dog Xiaotian day after day, Yang Jian would definitely confront him, even if it meant going to Spirit Mountain! That guy was like a loose cannon one couldn’t afford to provoke... His frighteningly strong power was one thing, but the support of the Jade Emperor made him untouchable by anyone who dared to confront him.

"Have you decided?" Qin Shou turned around, grinning, and asked.

Ji Dian hummed twice and pulled out a box the size of a pinky finger from his robe. Placing the box in the palm of his hand, he said, "You little rascal, you’re ruthless. Let me see if I can find something for you."

As he spoke, Ji Dian opened the tiny box. Before he could pick anything, a rabbit’s paw shot out!

Ji Dian quickly moved the box away and exclaimed, "Little brat, what do you want to do?"

Qin Shou pointed at the box and said, "I don’t want anything else, but this box is quite exquisite and suits my temperament. Why not just give it to me?"

"What?!" Ji Dian almost jumped up when he heard this, grabbed Qin Shou’s rabbit ears, and said, "Don’t even think about it!"

Qin Shou immediately cried out, "I know..."

"Fine, take it!" Ji Dian agreed, extremely frustrated.

Without hesitation, Qin Shou closed his mouth and watched with a grin as Ji Dian handled the box... Qin Shou didn’t know what kind of treasure the box was. Anyway, what he was lacking the most and wanted the most was a treasure that could hold things. Otherwise, he couldn’t always find good stuff and just stuff it all in his mouth to eat, right? And for future necessities, he couldn’t just carry them around on his back... So, having something for storage was necessary.

However, based on Ji Dian’s reaction, the box was probably no ordinary item.

Ji Dian gritted his teeth and, with a pained expression, emptied the contents into another Xumi Bag. Only after wiping his hand over the box did he hand it to Qin Shou and say, "Remember what you yourself have said, do not speak of that matter! I’ve already wiped the mark off the Black Demon Box. Just inject your spiritual power into it, and you can claim ownership. Once you’ve done that, it will open and close with your thoughts, and it contains its own universe, quite spacious. But the space that can actually be used for storage isn’t that large... Rabbit, if you regret it now, I can exchange it for something else."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou hurriedly shook his head to refuse, the more Ji Dian seemed to value it, the more it meant it was a good thing. There was no reason to trade good stuff for something else. So Qin Shou took the box without another word and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t tell a soul! I’m always tight-lipped."

"Pah! I’d have to be ghost to believe you!" Ji Dian cursed.

Qin Shou didn’t mind and carefully examined the box in his hand. It was a black box, like black iron, and the exterior appearance was more like a large iron chest. The chest was engraved with patterns of gods and demons, which looked mysterious. But there was a hole on the top of the box, and it was unclear what was meant to be inserted there.

Not caring much, Qin Shou did as Ji Dian instructed and injected his spiritual power into the box. But in the next moment, Qin Shou felt his spiritual power enter an icehouse, causing him to shiver uncontrollably! At the same time, cries of ghosts and wails of gods echoed in his mind, and before his eyes, a black world seemed to unfold!

The sky was filled with rolling dark clouds, the sun nowhere in sight. The ground was blood-red, unclear whether it was lava or blood, bones scattered everywhere, uncertain of the species... Beneath his feet was a black mountain like a throne!

Qin Shou stood atop the mountain, his entire body growing colder, and the coldness intensified!

Just then...

"Amitabha, Rabbit, wake up now!" A Buddist chant suddenly rang out, the voice majestic and solemn, full of authority and grace, and a vast Buddhist aura dispersed the dark clouds and fell upon Qin Shou.

Finally feeling a bit of warmth, Qin Shou shivered and the world before his eyes vanished, bringing him back to the Heavenly Court.

"Just now..." Qin Shou was about to ask.

Ji Dian shook his head and said, "I know what you’re going to ask, that was the inside of the Black Demon Box I told you about."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou shuddered and exclaimed, "Damn, there’s a whole world inside?"

Ji Dian replied, "I don’t know. Although it seems vast, the only place where movement is possible is on top of Throne Mountain. If you go to the edge, there’s a void barrier that blocks you, and you can’t get out. Whether the things outside are real or fake... I reckon they’re mostly fake."
