Rabbit Must Die
Chapter 816 - 412 Saving Lives

Chapter 816: Chapter 412 Saving Lives

Qin Shou took his seat once again.

Gonggong said, "It’s quite simple. With the great calamity upon Heaven and Earth, nobody knows what the future holds. With the Haotian Heavenly Court already fallen, we must make early preparations. Whether it’s us, the Eastern Emperor, or even the Jade Emperor, actually, none of us are afraid of death. But our deaths are inconsequential; shouldn’t we at least leave a trace of hope for the myriad clans of the world?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou rolled his eyes and said, "Are you kidding me? If all of you die, how could I possibly be safe? The people you can’t protect—you think I can?"

Qin Shou was genuinely angry. He felt that this group was just bamboozling him.

But as soon as he said this, the three people in front of him all looked at Qin Shou with affirming eyes as if to say he was capable.

Feeling goosebumps from their gaze, Qin Shou scratched his head and said, "Umm... You’re not serious, are you?"

Gonggong nodded and said, "Would we lie to you? In fact, it’s as simple as that. I know your current strength is quite... lousy... But have you ever thought about it? How come you, with your pitiful strength, are sitting with us? Why would we want to work with you?"

Feeling awkward, Qin Shou cleared his throat and said, "Well... could you be a bit more gentle with your words? My heart aches..."

Without any intention of saving Qin Shou’s face, Gonggong flatly stated, "I’m not trying to disrespect you, I’m just telling it like it is."

Qin Shou, rubbing his chest, said, "That truth kind of stings..."

Just then, a voice rang out, "Let me do the talking."

Everyone looked over and saw Dijun walking into the Moon Palace with a cheerful smile.

Upon seeing Dijun, Gonggong let out a sigh of relief and said, "It’s about time you arrived. You’re the best at this, so you take over. If I keep talking, I’m not sure what nonsense I might end up spouting."

Dijun gave a wry smile and said, "Rabbit, I hope I’m not intruding."

Qin Shou nodded and replied, "It’s fine..."

After Dijun seated himself, he said, "Rabbit, although there’s talk of perfection in this world, everything under Heaven has its hidden possibility, its ’one.’ Even the most terrifying of calamities have a sliver of hope for survival.

We’ve done our calculations, and it turns out that hope rests with you.

As for me, I’ve been dead for a long time.

It was because of the contingencies I left behind that I was able to live again, but I don’t care about death.

I believe those present here probably feel the same way, don’t they?"

Gonggong nodded.

Qin Shou shook his head...

Dijun ignored Qin Shou’s response and continued, "To be honest, we don’t know how that hidden possibility within you will manifest. But we have to try, right?"

Qin Shou touched his chin and nodded, "I understand, but I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to protect them for you."

Dijun said, "You just need to do your best."

Qin Shou replied, "Of course, since they’ve come to me, I’ll naturally do everything in my power to protect them. But... my strength..."

Dijun smiled and said, "I believe that this hope is not necessarily related to strength. Otherwise, with your strength, I really can’t see where the hope is."

Qin Shou awkwardly scratched his head and said, "Can we not hit where it hurts?"

Then an idea struck Qin Shou, and he said, "Hey, since all of you are here, let me discuss something with you."

The crowd looked at Qin Shou with curiosity, to which Qin Shou said, "I need a few things."

"What things?" everyone asked.

Qin Shou replied, "No matter what level or what rank, or what it’s related to—I want the Great Perfection cultivation method and manual!"

The crowd was taken aback...

Dijun asked, "What do you want that for?"

Qin Shou answered, "That’s for me to know... Anyway, it’s useful for me. If you really need an answer, think of it as me leaving some cultivation seeds for future generations. In case I survive, these methods won’t be lost to history. What do you think?"

Dijun knocked on the table and said, "We can give them to you, but until you survive the calamity, you must not pass them on to others!"

Qin Shou replied, "No problem!"

Dijun immediately took out three manuals from his bosom and tossed them to Qin Shou, "Here are my ’Taiyang Wuji Mysteries Sutra.’ The included Great Golden Immortal Volume, Level Nine Emperor Volume, and Level Twelve Emperor Volume are all of the Great Perfection level."

Qin Shou didn’t say another word and took them. These were exactly what he needed.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi said, "I have what he has, so I won’t give you mine. However, I know where other Great Perfection methods are, and I’ll help you look for them. I’ll get what we can, and I’ll help you steal what we can’t."

Qin Shou: "@#%#..."

Gonggong said, "Our Witch Clan has few techniques, but since you’ve asked, count me in on the heist, Eastern Emperor."

Qin Shou: "@##￥..."

Eventually, Qin Shou also obtained a copy of "Empyrean Fairy’s Yin Sutra," which, though not a Great Perfection method, was deemed by Dijun to be most suitable for Chang’e to cultivate. It was said to be the technique once practiced by the wife of Dijun, Taiyin Star Monarch.

Having sent these people on their way, Qin Shou immediately arranged for the families from the three major powers to settle on the moon.

Over the next few days, people from all the great Heavenly Courts of the Three Realms were seen holding signs and vigorously recruiting service staff for the Moon Palace.

Then, large groups of elite women from all over the Three Realms ascended to the moon.

Now that Qin Shou knew the true purpose behind this bathhouse venture, he didn’t really treat them as mere service staff. After arranging their accommodations, he started developing the dark side of the moon, where sunlight rarely reached and living conditions were harsher. Nonetheless, Qin Shou decided to clean it up and make some space for the elite men.

However, he made it a rule that no one was to cross the gender line; anyone who did would be kicked out of the Moon Palace to fend for themselves.

To this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi commented, "Damn... you’ve got your meat to eat, yet you insist on making a bunch of wolves drool in thirst. That’s just low!"

Qin Shou merely chuckled in response and thought, "Damn it, even though I have Chang’e, I’m still a rabbit! Our relationship, rather than husband and wife, is more like kin. And then you guys want to parade a bunch of lovey-dovey people in front of me; isn’t that just rubbing salt in the wound? If you want to rub it in, fine, but wait until I, I transform and really win Chang’e over! Then one by one, I’ll show you what real heartache looks like!"

Just as Qin Shou was stirring up a happy commotion on his side...

Something fell from the sky!

Qin Shou looked up and saw a giant fireball heading straight for the Moon Palace.

Qin Shou frowned, leapt into the air, and caught it with a single clawed hand.

Upon closer examination, Qin Shou exclaimed, "The Cauldron?!"

Indeed, the object inside the fireball was the Eight Trigrams Furnace!

"Rabbit, stop talking and save someone!" the Eight Trigrams Furnace croaked urgently.

With a forceful inhalation, Qin Shou sucked in all the flames engulfing the Eight Trigrams Furnace and then opened it up to find Fat Cat with eyes rolled back, gasping more than breathing!
