Chapter 809: Chapter 405: The Secret News of the Witch-Demon, Part 1

Taibai Star Monarch said with a wry smile, "If you ask me, I also have no clue. However, the Jade Emperor said that this matter not only has no drawbacks for the Rabbit but only benefits."

The robust man nodded his head and said, "I see... Eh, what celestial title were you all saying I’d be conferred with?"

Taibai Star Monarch replied, "Emperor of Craftsmanship. Although there’s no such official position in the immortals’ hierarchy, everyone acknowledges it. From now on, when you meet the Jade Emperor, you don’t have to show any courtesy, your status is equivalent to the Siyu... As for the Heavenly Court, you’re also free, none of us can control you. Honestly, I am truly envious of you..."

Indeed, this man was none other than Qin Shou’s master, the Craftsman God, Lu Ban!

After hearing this, Lu Ban laughed, stroked his short hair, straightened his clothes, and asked, "Do I look like an Overlord to you?"

Taibai Star Monarch gave a forced laugh and replied, "Honestly, no."

Lu Ban rolled his eyes and said, "You know I don’t look the part, and you still come to fool me? Tell the Jade Emperor: that Overlord title, I won’t take it. If this matter really benefits my disciple, I’ll lend a hand; if not, don’t call me."

Taibai Star Monarch helplessly replied, "Don’t you even trust the Jade Emperor? Over all these years, when has he ever deceived or harmed anyone?"

Lu Ban waved his hand and said, "Although I’m unaware of the Rabbit’s exact situation, who couldn’t see the trickery during the battle at the Southern Gate? In any case, there’s definitely a catch, and if the Jade Emperor doesn’t make things clear, I won’t participate! Betraying my disciple isn’t something we from Artisan Valley do! If I really did it, I’d be betraying the title of ’master’ he calls me!"

Left with no alternative after much persuasion, Taibai Star Monarch could only bring Lu Ban to the Lingxiao Hall.

Before long, Lu Ban came out, followed by Taibai Star Monarch who asked, "Are you sure you don’t need any formalities? Over there is Eastern Emperor Taiyi..."

Lu Ban snorted and replied, "That’s my disciple! No matter how incredible Eastern Emperor Taiyi is, he’s still an outsider!"

Having said that, Lu Ban left.

Meanwhile, inside the Moon Palace.

"Good job, brothers, six, six, six, drink! You drink!" The Rabbit, now the size of a human, stood with one foot on a stool, pointing at the Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s nose, shouting.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi, with red eyes, exclaimed, "Fuck, how did I lose again?"

Qin Shou laughed heartily and said, "Because you’re dumb, haha..."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi grumbled and continued drinking...

As he drank, Qin Shou suddenly felt something was off and asked, "Hey... what did you say was the reason for buying in earlier?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi replied, "I’m broke, damn it! What can I do..."

Hearing this, Qin Shou smacked his forehead and exclaimed, "Shit, you’re swindling me!"

After speaking, Qin Shou snatched the jar of wine.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi chuckled and said, "Can’t you be a little less stingy? I’ve slept for who knows how many eons, and it’s hard enough to wake up; can’t I drink a few sips of your wine?"

Qin Shou spat and said, "That’s what I thought. You, an Overlord, getting tipsy after a couple of drinks, messing up even the simplest finger-guessing game. I almost thought you were actually stupid. Turns out you’ve been scamming me to drink my wine all along. No, you’re not getting any!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi responded, "You’re making it no fun at all. Just a moment ago, we were good brothers, and now you’re too stingy to part with a jar of wine, stingy!"

Qin Shou gave him a dismissive look and said, "Bugger off! That was just for the Drinking Order, we’re not really brothers."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi slammed the table, stood up, and bellowed, "Rabbit, are you looking down on me?"

Qin Shou was perplexed and said with a puzzled expression, "When did I ever look down on you?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi said, "Then why didn’t you become bros with me?"

Qin Shou was at a loss for words, "That? Become?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi immediately laughed, leaned in, and hooked his arm over Qin Shou’s shoulder saying, "Of course! From now on, we are brothers for life, drinking together when there’s booze, and eating together when there’s food..."

Qing Shou quickly interjected, "Hold on a second! Why do I feel like you’re not here to make a brother, but to find a cafeteria buddy instead?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi snickered and said, "Let’s not sweat the small stuff. Anyway, you’re my brother now, agreed?"

Qin Shou thought about it, and being bros with Eastern Emperor Taiyi didn’t seem too bad! At least he was an Overlord, after all!

Across all ages, there were few who could compare with this guy...

Being his brother only required a few jars of wine and a few dishes... It was a good deal no matter how you sliced it.

But Qin Shou couldn’t shake the feeling that he was missing something, like he was at a loss.

However, in the end, Qin Shou still asked, "So, we’re just going to settle it like this? No swearing oaths or anything?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi waved his hand dismissively, "Swear to Heaven and Earth? They’re not even worthy of my respect!"

Qin Shou was taken aback, then he thought about it and realized this guy might actually have the confidence to back such a claim.

And so, the two became brothers and continued sitting at the table, drinking and eating meat...

Now that they were brothers, Eastern Emperor Taiyi didn’t play dumb or drunk anymore. He ate his fill and drank heartily, while shouting about how awesome it felt and boasting...

Unable to resist, Qin Shou asked, "Hey brother, how exactly did your previous setup get toppled?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi said, "Well, there’s a lot to that story... too many people involved. It’s not nice to speak ill of others behind their backs..."

Qin Shou was genuinely curious about that part of history. After all, from past to present, the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court had its most glorious period. Yet such a splendid court collapsed overnight. Moreover, later generations had almost no records of that time, leaving only fragments behind.

Even so, one could still sense the grandeur of that era!

After all, a Great Golden Immortal from that era was equivalent to a Golden Immortal from this era, essentially foot soldiers without much status.

During that era, there were definitely more than a few at the level of Emperor Gouchen of the posterior Heavenly Court.

Emperor level experts were a dime a dozen...

To witness such an incredible era collapse overnight, who wouldn’t be curious?

So Qin Shou doggedly continued, "Then tell me something you can share. I’m telling you, if you make it worth our while, the booze is on me. If not, we flip the table and call it quits."

Hearing this nearly rogue-like demand, Eastern Emperor Taiyi gave a wry smile and said, "Why are you so curious about past events? Even we, the ones involved, don’t care anymore, so why should you?"

Qin Shou insisted, "I just want to know, that’s all."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi nodded and said, "Well, there’s not much to say. Back then, our Demon Clan was flourishing, and humans were just dishes on many people’s plates... The only ones who could contend with the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court were those nature gods, also known as the Witch Clan."

Hearing this, Qin Shou nodded slightly, as it was more or less what he knew.
