Chapter 808: Chapter 404 Genius Indeed_1

Qin Shou: "..."

Qin Shou: "Hahaha! Wow haha...you...Eastern Emperor Taiyi? Hahaha...I...hahaha...I’m TM laughing out loud, Hongjun Patriarch, hahaha..."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi narrowed his eyes, reached out behind him, and instantly caught a huge toad in his hand, then casually tossed it in front of Qin Shou, saying, "Tell him who I am!"

Qin Shou knew the strength of the Golden Toad; the fact that Eastern Emperor Taiyi caught it so effortlessly meant his power was definitely above the level of a Great Golden Immortal.

However, Qin Shou was dead set on not believing that this hoodlum in front of him could be Eastern Emperor Taiyi!

When Qin Shou was on Earth, he had heard plenty of stories about the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, although they were all legends or novels.

But without exception, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi of those stories was of noble bloodline, with a divine demeanor, the first among heroes!

Such an image couldn’t be further from looking anything like the thug before him!

It was Dijun who matched the legends, handsome and dashing, with an extraordinary air...

No wonder Dijun had ten sons and several wives...

However, if Eastern Emperor Taiyi really was like this, it perfectly explained why, of the two paragons of the same era, one had wives and children everywhere, while this one was still single.

The Golden Toad said obsequiously, "I, this...this is our Demon Clan Heavenly Court’s boss, Eastern Emperor Taiyi."

Although Qin Shou had mentally prepared himself, he was still startled when he confirmed the identity of Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Qin Shou, pointing at Eastern Emperor Taiyi, exclaimed, "I Cao, he really is Eastern Emperor Taiyi?"

The Golden Toad nodded, saying, "Genuine, absolutely genuine."

Qin Shou gave the Golden Toad’s shoulder a slight push, saying, "No wonder your Demon Clan Heavenly Court later went under, I get it..."

The Golden Toad’s face turned into an embarrassing sight as he looked towards Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

But Eastern Emperor Taiyi himself was completely relaxed and indifferent, looking at Qin Shou proudly and said, "How about that? I didn’t lie to you, did I?"

Qin Shou raised his head and asked, "About that equity stake you mentioned, are you still in?"

As he said this, Qin Shou seemed to have forgotten how he had previously trashed and disgusted Eastern Emperor Taiyi, acting as if nothing had happened. The thickness of his skin, or rather his complete lack of shame, had reached the peak standards of the great path of heaven and earth.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was the same, he immediately forgot all that had transpired upon hearing the possibility of buying into the stake, immediately saying, "In! Of course, I’m in!"

Then the Golden Toad just stood there looking silly in the sky, watching as the two most shameless people from the Heavenly Courts walked towards the moon, arm in arm, chatting away, and occasionally letting out that laugh unique to scoundrels...

When the Golden Toad returned to the Southern Gate, Mo Lishou couldn’t help asking, "Did your Heavenly Court really fall because..."

The Golden Toad gave Mo Lishou a fierce look. He was afraid of Qin Shou and respected Eastern Emperor Taiyi, so naturally, he dared not act rashly.

But as for Mo Lishou, the Golden Toad couldn’t care less, he just raised his head and said, "Don’t talk nonsense, who doesn’t know our Overlord is a famed sage!"

Mo Lishou gave a dry laugh and said, "A sage... heh..." adding in his heart, "More like a sage fool, right?"

"Jade Emperor, what do you think of that Eastern Emperor Taiyi?" Queen Mother of the West sat opposite the Jade Emperor, the two faced each other from a distance, sipping tea, munching on fruits, and having a chat.

The Jade Emperor gave a slight smile and said, "A very smart person."

The Queen Mother of the West nodded and replied, "Ah... many people are deceived by the facade he presents. They cannot see through him, cannot comprehend... Haven’t they thought about it? The one who can hold a position of respect amongst the demonic clan, how could he possibly be a fool?"

The Jade Emperor chuckled and said, "Some people understand but pretend not to, enjoying the merits of feigned confusion. Others are genuinely muddled... However, I must say, his actions are indeed swift."

The Queen Mother of the West nodded and said, "Yes... He had only just awakened, and straightaway he found a way to connect with the Rabbit. And with an apparently mindless gesture, he managed to forge a relationship with the Rabbit. It seems that his plan to invest in the Rabbit’s bathhouse is not much different from ours."

The Jade Emperor sighed and said, "The great cataclysm of heaven and earth, the real calamity hasn’t yet erupted. When it truly does, like a flood washing through an ant nest, no one can remain unaffected!

The downfall of the Haotian Heavenly Court is the best lesson from history.

We are all just trying to leave ourselves a way out..."

The Queen Mother of the West said, "It seems everyone wishes to use the Rabbit to avoid disaster... Should we inform the Rabbit about this?"

The Jade Emperor shook his head, "Let’s not. You and I are only aware of a fraction of the issue, and we don’t know the full story. If the Rabbit questions us, how shall we respond?"

The Queen Mother of the West sighed and said, "That’s true. Let him continue to be clueless then. Besides, for him, being confused like this might actually be a good thing... The history that has been submerged and hidden by time, digging it up might not turn out to be good after all."

The Jade Emperor nodded, then said, "We also need to act faster, we can’t let the demons take the lead every step of the way."

The Queen Mother of the West laughed, "There’s no helping it, the two Overlords of the demon clan are just too good at coordinating. Dijun takes the orthodox approach, while Taiyi adopts underhanded tactics, one focusing on maintaining appearances, the other shameless, one talks sense, the other creates chaos...

These two have thought their way forward and backward in advance, and when it comes to handling affairs, they’re much more relaxed than any of us.

Now, to ask everyone to behave shamelessly like the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who could swallow their pride and do that?"

After some thought, the Jade Emperor suddenly slapped the table and said, "There is someone who could!"

"Who?" asked the Queen Mother of the West.

"What?! You want me to go back? But what about this?"

Within a secret and mystical place of the Heavenly Court, a muscular man clad only in shorts with a bare torso, looked bewilderedly at Taibai Star Monarch standing before him.

Taibai Star Monarch chuckled and said, "Naturally, there will still be people to manage this place. Moreover, haven’t you arranged everything already? If you don’t leave, you’ll just be here drinking and boasting."

Upon hearing this, the muscular man spat out and said, "Don’t talk nonsense, alright? I’m a reasonable man! I take my work seriously, so don’t spout baseless nonsense."

Taibai Star Monarch burst into hearty laughter and said, "Yes, yes, you’re the most reasonable and always the one to persuade others with virtue."

The muscular man’s face turned red at these words, and he gave a dry laugh before saying, "Fine, you win, I give up. I finally managed to get a hands-off assignment, yet you all still won’t let me be. Spit it out, what do you want me to do?"

Taibai Star Monarch replied, "Nothing much, just thinking of sending you as the Heavenly Court’s representative to the Moon to take care of some business..."

"What?!" the muscular man exclaimed in surprise.

Taibai Star Monarch hurriedly gestured with his hand to lower the volume, then leaned in and said, "Here’s the thing... @#￥#@..."

After listening to Taibai Star Monarch’s words, the muscular man did not immediately agree but instead asked, "This... what’s the deal here? No, wait... The Jade Emperor wouldn’t make a loss-making deal to favour the Rabbit. Tell me straight, what are you all really up to?"
