Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Don’t Waste It_1

The ceremonial officer was immediately baffled on the spot and after recalling carefully, shook his head and said, "The Jade Emperor mentioned only one."

Qin Shou chuckled and said, "I knew you would play tricks, so I recorded it with a Shadow Printing Stone. Take a look for yourself!"

Qin Shou activated the Shadow Printing Stone, and it just so happened to show the part where he was haggling with the Jade Emperor, who said three times in a row, "Rewarded with one Moon Palace."

Qin Shou spread his hands and said, "You see... the Jade Emperor himself said it, rewarded with three."

Seeing this, the face of the ceremonial officer darkened. Didn’t this fellow know what emphasis was?

Wenqu was speechless as well. He became increasingly convinced that taking this Rabbit to the Literature Garden was a mistake.

Qin Shou said, "A gentleman’s word is his bond, let alone the word of the Jade Emperor. We will hold onto this Moon Palace for now. Later, you can go ask the Jade Emperor yourself how many there should be. Hmm, if I don’t receive three, next time I see the Jade Emperor I will definitely ask him in person."

Qin Shou took on a stance as if he would tattle.

The ceremonial officer broke into a cold sweat on his forehead... Had it been anyone else saying this, he wouldn’t have bothered to care. But this Rabbit was different; it could be said that the Rabbit stole the show at this grand event!

With favor from the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West from above, and support from Spirit Mountain’s foremost War God Kong Xuan and Heavenly Court’s richest second-generation, Yang Jian, from below!

What was most important was that everyone had come to recognize the shamelessness of this Rabbit. If he said he would do it, he definitely would.

Moreover, the Jade Emperor did indeed say it three times, who could guarantee he didn’t mean to reward three? To ask the Jade Emperor about such a trivial matter? He probably would be slapped away immediately... A Moon Palace? It’s not a big deal for immortals, let alone for the Jade Emperor. It’s just that when the Jade Emperor awards it, it’s not just a place to live; it represents a legitimate immortal title, it represents face, it represents the Heavenly Court’s recognition, it represents all kinds of things... The significance is greater than the reality.

So, normally, no one would ask for more...

Unfortunately, faced with such an oddball of a pauper, the ceremonial officer felt a real headache...

After mulling things over, the ceremonial officer said, "I will ask about it and give you a response the day after tomorrow."

Qin Shou said, "Go ahead, go ahead... As you can see, there are so many of us, one Moon Palace really isn’t enough."

The ceremonial officer muttered to himself, "This Moon Palace is a magic treasure that can expand to a thousand acres... You only have two people."

Qin Shou gave the ceremonial officer a disdainful look and said, "Who told you the Moon Palace was for living in?"

"Then..." The ceremonial officer was puzzled.

Qin Shou sighed and said, "It’s for eating."

The ceremonial officer and Wenqu were instantly rendered speechless... Eating the house, this damn Rabbit was truly... the most peculiar Rabbit of all time!

The ceremonial officer left, muttering as he went, "Ah, two Moon Palaces... certainly can’t report this to the Jade Emperor, it will have to come out of my own pocket, ah, dear me... Perhaps I’ll stew a Rabbit later..."

After the ceremonial officer had left, Chang’e greeted Wenqu with a bow and said, "Star Monarch, is there something you need?"

Wenqu really wanted to say nothing, just passing by... but he had an actual matter to attend to!

After pondering for a moment, Wenqu’s expression became serious. He had decided that no matter what kind of creature this Rabbit was, he must correct him. He didn’t need to become a fine man or achieve greatness, but at the very least, he had to follow the rules! Otherwise, he couldn’t afford to lose face before the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, and the rest of the immortals!

As the saying goes, strict teachers produce outstanding students. Therefore, he prepared to start today as an impartial teacher with a stern face.

Wenqu sighed formally, "Fairy, I’m here to notify this rabbit that tomorrow morning, at Rabbit Hour, he must report to the Shushan Literature Garden, and must not be late. Otherwise, he’ll have to endure a spanking."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s eyes instantly lit up. He silently memorized this statement and even repeated it three times, saying, "Teacher, I’ve got it. Rabbit Hour, Shushan Literature Garden, and being late means a spanking, right?"

Wenqu nodded slightly at the words, feeling very pleased that the rabbit seriously repeated his words three times. He suddenly felt that perhaps this rabbit wasn’t all that bad, at least he was quite docile and respectful when facing him...

"Teacher, I’ve got it! Don’t worry!" Qin Shou called out.

Wenqu took out a jade pendant and handed it to Qin Shou, saying, "This is the Literature Garden Accompany Token. With this token, you can pass through the Southern Gate. Once you’ve entered Heavenly Court, there will naturally be a map to guide you. Remember, do not wander around Heavenly Court, lest you invite trouble."

Qin Shou repeated it three times again.

"Yu’er, why do you always like to repeat things three times?" Chang’e asked with some curiosity.

Qin Shou responded earnestly, "Important matters should be repeated three times to engrave them in memory."

Wenqu, upon hearing this, smiled satisfactorily, thinking to himself that indeed, being frivolous with this rabbit was useless; one needed to be a strict teacher to keep him in line! Ha-ha...

"All right, I’ve said what needed to be said. Ladies and gentlemen, this immortal will take his leave." With that, Wenqu left.

Qin Shou and Chang’e bowed and saw him off...

After Wenqu left, the two looked at each other and then both smiled. Although it was lively with the group of immortals around, the two, accustomed to the privacy of their two-person world for who knows how many years, suddenly realized that they still preferred this feeling where the world comprised only of each other.

Chang’e bent down to pick up Qin Shou.

Qin Shou hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, don’t do that. There are so many chairs and benches here; it would be a waste not to pack them up and take them with us..."

Upon hearing this, Chang’e quickly tapped Qin Shou on the head, scolding, "You rabbit, don’t mess around. Let’s go, it’s time to go home!"

Having said that, Chang’e reached for the rabbit, not allowing Qin Shou to argue.

However, the damn rabbit swiftly dodged and gathered up all the dishes and wine jugs around. Qin Shou knew these wine jugs were little treasures; they were spatially enhanced and contained a lot of wine which the immortals could never finish. The dishes were similar, only filled with plenty of fruits... Qin Shou didn’t expect all the fruits to be left over, but as long as some were, that was a gain!

It was certainly better than eating osmanthus on the moon...

So, Qin Shou didn’t mind being chased by Chang’e, he scavenged through several mountain peaks before being caught by her, his rabbit ears lifted in a manner that showed he was unwillingly being taken away...

Qin Shou lay in Chang’e’s arms, blissfully closing his eyes, feeling comfort in his own exclusive bed...

In fact, it was indeed the case. From the moment they left for the Heavenly Court until now, when the dust had settled, Qin Shou’s worries for Chang’e finally dissipated completely.

After Qin Shou and the others left, the ceremonial officer walked in with several maids. After a while, an angry roar echoed through the mountains, "Damn rabbit! Where are our dishes, our wine jugs?! They’re all gone... all gone!"

"Yu’er, I think I hear someone calling for you," Chang’e said suspiciously, looking back as they walked on the road leaving Heavenly Court.

Qin Shou, with narrowed eyes, said, "Must be an illusion... even if there is, I suppose they just can’t bear to part with me. Ah... it’s hard being handsome, flashy, and well-liked; that’s the one downside."

PS: What are you all thinking? My wife is taking a test for some sort of professional skills. Besides, would I, such a pure person, ever stare at schoolgirls? Ha-ha... I’m just guarding the kindergarten!
