Chapter 797: Chapter 393: You Asked Me to Bite_1

At first, everyone thought this Rabbit had gone mad, but now they understand that from the get-go, the Rabbit never intended to queue up. It planned to knock them all down and then naturally waltz into the Yunding Market. They were just self-proclaimed smarties who walked right into that damn rabbit’s trap and fell into the hole it dug! The worst part was, they nailed the coffin shut themselves...

You have to admit, what Mighty Spirit God said made sense, and no one could blame him.

But no matter how they thought about it, everyone was pissed, yet unfortunately, they couldn’t beat the Rabbit, and Mighty Spirit God was not someone they could afford to provoke, so they had to pinch their noses and bear it.

Qin Shou didn’t care what was happening outside; at this moment, he was scampering into the Yunding Market, feeling an extra sense of fondness as he revisited old haunts.

Thus, anyone who passed by Qin Shou was greeted by his amiable hellos and inquiries about their wellbeing, though his voice was so soft and coupled with a dialect from some small village in Huaxia, nobody could understand what he was saying. If they could, they would have heard words like, "Steal Heaven, steal earth, steal your underwear..."

However, the intonation of these words was craftily changed into a Beijing accent by the Rabbit, which made it sound like he was saying, "Sir, how are you? Have you eaten? I had dumplings stuffed with Jiucai, dipped in Shanxi mature vinegar!"

Those who were accosted by Qin Shou reflexively greeted him back, shaking hands, slapping backs, and other such gestures.

And then...

Not long after...

"Hey! Has anyone seen my Xumi Bag?" a Monk shouted.

"Heck! Where’s my magic sword?" a Swordsman exclaimed.

"Cao! How did I lose one of my shoes?" a scholar cried out.

"Where’s my underwear?! Where’s my underwear?!" a fairy screamed.

...

Meanwhile, in a corner of the Yunding Market, a Rabbit stood by a stall, browsing over the items as if it was studying sacred texts.

The stall owner was an old man with a three-foot-long beard, whom Qin Shou didn’t recognize...

But Qin Shou recognized the spot; this was the very place where he had tricked someone for the first time. Overwhelmed by nostalgia, he stopped to look...

Almost at the same time, the old man’s eyes lit up and he said, wagging his head, "My friend, you have quite the eye — everything I sell here is top-notch! Now with Black Mirror invading, you really need some good stuff to protect yourself."

Qin Shou nodded in agreement and then squatted down to casually pick up an Eight Trigrams Mirror, asking, "What’s this?"

The old man glanced at Qin Shou and chuckled, "This is the Come and Go Mirror made from Taiyi True Gold, one of the finest nurtured spiritual treasures! This magic mirror can emit Taiyi’s light, transforming into myriad sharp blades to help you vanquish enemies and secure victory. This is a rare and valuable item, my friend, would you like to have one?"

Qin Shou shook his head and said, "No need. It’s something that’ll break with one bite, not much use."

The old man immediately took offense, "Break with one bite? My friend, if you’re not buying, you can’t just slander others’ treasures, can you? That’s a bit out of line!"

Qin Shou, pointing to the Eight Trigrams Mirror, insisted, "Really, it breaks with one bite."

The old man angrily retorted, "Nonsense! A top-grade nurtured Spiritual Treasure, and you’re telling me it breaks with one bite? If you’re so sure, bite it and prove it!"

And with that, Qin Shou didn’t even nod his head, and simply stuffed the Eight Trigrams Mirror straight into his mouth. To the old man’s astonishment and heartache, he crunched and munched the Eight Trigrams Mirror to pieces!

After finishing his meal, the Rabbit burped contentedly and said, "See, I didn’t lie to you, it breaks with one bite. I’m telling you, your stuff must have been switched or it was fake to begin with! You didn’t want to eat it, so you wouldn’t know if it’s real or fake."

Hearing this, the old man’s roar stuck in his throat, and with a skeptical look at Qin Shou’s sincere face, he really started to wonder if he’d indeed been given counterfeit goods.

The old man couldn’t help but curse, "Damn! These Tomb-robbing Ghosts, actually giving me fakes! I’m going to settle this with them later!"

Qin Shou said, "That’s right! Such injustice can’t be tolerated. When doing business, the most important thing is integrity, right?"

The old man nodded.

Qin Shou said, "Seeing that you just got scammed, it’s quite pitiful. I won’t charge you for authenticating this item, bye-bye."

"Ah, okay... take care. Huh?" The old man said and then felt that something was off, but he couldn’t put his finger on what exactly it was.

The old man sat at his stall, legs crossed, stroking his chin, thinking for a long time. He always felt like he had been tricked...

Just then, at a stall not far away, someone shouted, "My treasure!"

Then a familiar, utterly honest voice rang out, "I already said it’s fake... Could I bite through it and break it if it was real?"

"Nonsense!" the person retorted, disbelieving.

Qin Shou said, "Then you tell me, what kind of treasure breaks when you bite it?"

The other party fell silent...

"Alright, don’t be sad. It’s better than if you sold this treasure as real, only to be wanted by the Heavenly Court, right? Just look at that troubled look on your face. Seriously, if I hadn’t stepped in, just think about the consequences for yourself."

The other party blinked, then sighed and said, "Damn it, there’s counterfeit goods! That... Rabbit, thanks. I was too hasty just now... said too much, please don’t take it to heart."

"Seeing your attitude, I can tell you’re a decent person," Rabbit said.

"Fellow Daoist, how about you help me look at the rest of my treasures too?" the person asked.

Rabbit shook his head and said, "Forget it, I took a quick look at the others, can’t tell real from fake. I’m not omniscient, only some specific items I can discern. I really can’t tell with your other items; if you’re not confident, it’s best to get someone to authenticate them all."

The person nodded repeatedly and even bowed deeply in thanks, "Many thanks, Fellow Daoist, for your advice!"

Rabbit nodded back in greeting and said, "You’re welcome! You go ahead with your business, I’ll keep browsing."

The old man watched this scene unfold, feeling that something was odd, but he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was odd.

Although Yunding Market had more visitors, the number of people who actually engaged in trading had always remained the same. Everyone went out to collect treasures and came back to sell them—various flipping and dealing, familiar faces all around.

Thus, everyone was somewhat familiar with each other...

In the crowd present, who wasn’t involved in the millennia-old business of trading magic treasures day in, day out?

Up to this day, virtually everyone had developed a Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze. Over thousands of years, it was rare for anyone to encounter a counterfeit treasure, but how come today, suddenly, there were two? Wasn’t that too much of a coincidence?

While the old man was still muttering to himself,

From afar, another scream rang out, "My treasure! Rabbit, spit it out!"

"Fellow Daoist, don’t panic, okay? You yourself didn’t trust that it was real! You asked me to bite it. I bit, it broke, and now you’re blaming me?"

By the sound of it, it was that Rabbit again!

The old man couldn’t sit still any longer. He stood up, packed his things, and headed toward the commotion.
