Chapter 96: Chapter 96 No Top-Up_1

Chongba gave an ’oh’ and followed along.

Meanwhile, Qin Shou stood atop the clouds, overlooking the entire Shushan. Shushan looked one way from the sea of clouds, but from Heaven, it was another spectacle altogether. There was another universe within Shushan! Swords hidden in books! Sword energy intertwined and pierced through the heavens, and then split to both sides to form a long rainbow—that was the origin of the rainbow in the sky!

The tauren exclaimed, "Teacher, isn’t Shushan supposed to be a gathering place for scholars? How come there are swords?"

Wenqu chuckled, "Who told you scholars are only good at reading? Moreover, who told you that all readers are necessarily weak scholars? In the eyes of the Literature Garden, military officers and nobles alike, as long as they read, can be considered literati. ’Literati’ is a broad term, not a narrow profession. As for why there are swords in Shushan... a sword is the noble among weapons, hence it is the most suitable weapon for scholars."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou nodded slightly and said, "Teacher, you’re truly brilliant."

Wenqu calmly accepted Qin Shou’s flattery, and Qin Shou continued, "I’ve grown up so much, and this is the first time someone has managed to explain the concept of ’having a sword hidden within one’s chest’ so elegantly."

Why did what Wenqu heard sound so off?

The tauren asked, "Brother Rabbit, what do you mean by ’having a sword hidden within one’s chest’?"

Qin Shou pointed to the Shushan below and said, "Calf, look, from the outside, Shushan just looks like a mountain made of stacks of books, right?"

The tauren’s face turned dark upon hearing Qin Shou’s address... but indeed, calfs were also referred to as ’Calf,’ so it seemed there was nothing wrong with the rabbit calling him that. The key question was, why did it sound so wrong, so cheap when he said it?

Nevertheless, the tauren nodded.

Qin Shou said, "But inside Shushan there’s a sword hidden, correct?"

The tauren nodded again...

Qin Shou slapped his palm and exclaimed, "There you go! With a refined and genteel appearance on the outside but a sword hidden within, isn’t that just being quietly lecherous? I’ve grown up so much and this is the first time I’ve heard the teacher explain being quietly lecherous in such a fresh and refined way."

Upon hearing this, Wenqu raised his hand and slapped!

Smack!

"Ah!" The rabbit went flying effortlessly...

"Teacher, that rabbit just got sent flying..." said the tauren.

The little girl muttered, "He’s been gone so long without coming back, he didn’t get lost flying, did he?"

Wenqu suddenly slapped his thigh and cursed, "That damn rabbit didn’t fly away, he ran! Chase after him!"

Wenqu’s face was pitch black. He was an immortal; how could he not know his own strength? A gentle slap, and the damn rabbit had conveniently jumped away. The bastard didn’t get smacked away, he bloody ran!

True to his words, Wenqu raced to Shushan port, just in time to see a rabbit jump onto a large ship, ready to make a run for it!

Wenqu descended amidst a rosy cloud and bellowed, "Rabbit, what are you doing?"

Qin Shou looked up and said, "Uh... just dropped by here, what a coincidence, heh heh..."

Wenqu: "..."

Looking at the rabbit who appeared as if he hadn’t told a lie, Wenqu thought angrily: If I hadn’t come, would you have ’coincidentally’ landed on the moon? Damn it, this is the first time I’ve seen someone skip class in such a fresh and unsullied way!

Tauren: "That thick-skinned..."

Little girl: "Too thick."

Wenqu, almost howling with rage yet trying to maintain his Confucian composure, gritted his words out one by one: "Get back to the academy!"

"Alright, teacher. Uh... Teacher, is your tooth hurting?" Qin Shou suddenly leaned in, looking concernedly at Wenqu’s teeth.

Wenqu: "Get lost!"

Qin Shou hurriedly ran away...

The tauren looked at Qin Shou’s retreating figure and sighed, "Why are there such oddballs?"

The little girl pursed her lips, trying to suppress her laughter.

"Niu Dali, Li Zhenying, what are you laughing at?" Wenqu turned his head back with a dark face and asked.

The two quickly fell silent.

Only then did Wenqu harrumph twice and lead the two back to the Shushan.

But as soon as they returned to Shushan, they saw Longhuai being chased all over the place by the Three Brothers of the Kun Clan... Wenqu’s face darkened even more, and he shouted, "Kui Yi, Kui Er, Kui San! What are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, the three brothers quickly stopped, Kui San looked at Kui Er, Kui Er looked at Kui Yi, Kui Yi looked at Longhuai, and said foolishly, "He’s asking you!"

Longhuai was utterly bewildered; what did this have to do with him?

Wenqu covered his face with his hand, descended from his cloud, and asked Kui Yi, "Kui Yi, you answer!"

Kui Yi almost blurted out without thinking, "He said brothers of the same sect should not fight and hurt each other, we want to beat him up, but cannot fight, so we can only bite."

Wenqu: "..."

Niu Dali: "So many weirdos... I must have entered a fake Literature Garden..."

Li Zhenying laughed even more gleefully.

Wenqu said, "Longhuai, take these three out and give them each twenty beatings with the ruler!"

"We don’t accept this!" Before Longhuai could respond, Kui San shouted first.

Wenqu asked angrily, "Why won’t you accept it?"

Kui Er chimed in, "Why do the rabbits get to eat the rulers, but when it comes to us, it’s a beating? We won’t accept it!"

Kui Yi exclaimed, "Teacher cannot be prejudiced against species; we demand fairness!"

Kui Er and Kui San shouted in unison, "Big brother is wise!"

Wenqu’s face turned green with anger and he demanded, "What fairness do you want?"

The three shouted in unison, "Eat the ruler!"

When Wenqu heard this, he really wanted to slap these three fools to death! But he still held back, narrowed his eyes at the three big fools in front of him, nodded, and said, "Very well..."

When Qin Shou wobbled back to Wenqu Palace’s square, he saw the three fools sitting there, each inserting a ruler into their mouths, then swallowing them without chewing! That’s right, one ruler in one bite, so fast that even Qin Shou was slightly taken aback!

Qin Shou approached and asked dazedly, "How’s the taste?"

Kui San was taken aback and asked in return, "What’s taste?"

Qin Shou was astonished...

Just then, Niu Dali walked over and said indifferently, "The Kun Clan are born with the ability to swallow all things. Their true forms are as large as mountains, capable of swallowing a whole lake in one gulp. If they truly had a sense of taste, that would be their greatest punishment. Thus, Kuns can turn their sense of taste on and off at will, shutting it down when they devour indiscriminately, swallowing in one gulp. When they come across something delicious, they turn their taste on to savor it carefully. However, they probably haven’t reached that stage yet, so their sense of taste should always be turned off."

Hearing this, Qin Shou suddenly felt some sympathy for these three big fools, born with their taste switched off and not intelligent enough to turn it on... And intelligence seems like something they weren’t born with.

Qin Shou couldn’t help murmuring, "This is like they didn’t recharge with Boss Ma when they were reincarnated..."

"What did you say?" Niu Dali asked, curious.

Qin Shou shook his head and said, "Nothing."

After Kui San asked his question and seemed to have forgotten the rabbit beside him, he continued eating the rulers...
