Chapter 16 Are You Stupid?_1

The rabbit beside her looked up at the lady, its large eyes brimming with moisture as if admiring the most beautiful scenery in the world.

If there were a photographer here, they would surely capture this breathtaking image...

Although Chang'e was quite talkative, Qin Shou actually enjoyed this feeling very much. He knew that Chang'e had been lonely for too long, she needed to chatter, to vent...

So Qin Shou kept her company.

He waited until Chang'e got tired of talking.

Then Qin Shou spoke, "Lady Chang'e, would you say this place counts as the Heavenly Court?"

Chang'e shook her head, "I don't know, it probably doesn't count. The Heavenly Court, no matter what, wouldn't be this desolate..."

Qin Shou nodded, but the words of the heavenly soldier he heard earlier still echoed in his ears; he knew this place was indeed the Heavenly Court!

It was just that this place was even colder than the legendary cold palaces!

And more desolate!

"Why do you ask this?" Chang'e inquired curiously.

Qin Shou shook his big head, "It's nothing, just bored and asking randomly."

After speaking, Qin Shou lay on the ground, casually plucked a blade of wild grass, placed it in his mouth, squinted at the sky, and as he chewed, suddenly sat up and said, "Grass?"

Chang'e frowned, "Why are you cursing?"

Qin Shou shook his head, "No, what I mean is, we have grass here!"

Chang'e asked with confusion, "Yes, so what?"

Qin Shou replied, "So what? If grass can grow here, does that mean we could possibly grow vegetables?"

Chang'e nodded subconsciously, "Sure, but do you have any seeds?"

Qin Shou was at a loss for words...

Yes, what good is it to be able to grow vegetables?

He was a descendent of the Yan Emperor, so what if he had the farming skills passed down over five thousand years?

Without seeds, it's all useless.

Now that Qin Shou could talk, Chang'e was exceedingly happy, and she opened her torrent of words after many years, talking with Qin Shou until midnight. Only then did she touch her growling stomach, casually eat a little osmanthus, stretched, and said, "I wasted so much energy and strength today, I can't keep this up, no more talking. Time for bed, sleep, don't move, conserve energy."

Watching her graceful figure yawning and walking into the cave, Qin Shou's eyes flashed a tender concern as he whispered softly, "I swear, I will quickly become strong, so that you'll no longer go hungry!"

After speaking, Qin Shou also yawned, but he didn't want to sleep. Instead, he jumped to the ground and found the blood-red magic knife.

The red glow on the knife had dissipated, returning it to a shiny small knife. The knife wasn't big, and it fit perfectly in Qin Shou's grip.

The blade had a blood-red pattern that looked quite mysterious.

Qin Shou sighed, "If this were on Earth, this would be considered a top-tier treasure. Unfortunately, here, it is probably no more than a nail clipper."

After speaking, Qin Shou touched his stomach and mumbled, "Getting hungry, you'd better fend for yourself. If I, the Rabbit, get too hungry before finding food, you'll become the next dinner."

As soon as these words were uttered, the knife seemed to become sentient, trembling as if it were afraid.

Qin Shou was immediately amused, "Hey, you can feel fear? It looks like you're quite spirited! How about this, I'll watch your performance, and if you do well, I won't eat you. If not, I'll turn you into poop."

The knife trembled again as if responding to something, but Qin Shou couldn't understand anyway.

Qin Shou said, "You're trembling so hard, I'll take that as a yes. Now, shrink down a bit for me to see."

The knife trembled and the next moment shrank to the size of a fingernail, which Qin Shou held in his hand, marveled, and then commanded, "Get bigger!"

The knife whooshed out, returning to the size of a large knife, several times bigger than the rabbit!

Qin Shou was immediately delighted, "Bigger! Even bigger! Make it much bigger!"

The knife whooshed and grew larger and larger, eventually stopping at forty meters.

No matter how Qin Shou commanded, it just wouldn't grow anymore.

It seems this is the limit... not bad, forty meters... hehe, from now on, anyone who doesn't see where they're going can confidently run thirty-nine meters.

Qin Shou happily put away the knife, touched his belly, and felt a bit hungry.

So, Qin Shou changed direction and headed straight for the King of Osmanthus Tree, humming a little tune as he went, "Hungry tummy, go find Wu Gang... the waistband still smells good..."

Wu Gang had been very irritable lately, really irritable!

In the past, he wielded his axe with both hands, swinging it with vigorous force!

But now, he had to spend one hand holding up his pants to prevent them from falling down.

Swinging the axe just wasn't as satisfying anymore, and he felt a lack of strength.

Thinking of this, Wu Gang recalled that annoying rabbit, truly regretting using his treasured item to resurrect it.

Yet, considering the consequence of taking a life, if he had to do it over again, Wu Gang would probably still choose to resurrect the rabbit.

"Tsk, tsk... working hard?" As they say, whatever you're thinking about, that's what shows up.

Wu Gang was feeling annoyed when that grating voice sounded.

Turning his head, he saw a rabbit upright under the osmanthus tree beside him, casually leaning on the trunk and watching him with ease.

"What are you doing here? Scram!" Wu Gang instinctively tightened his grip on his pants and started to shoo the intruder away.

Qin Shou smacked his lips and said, "Don't be like that, we're old friends. Give a little respect, okay?"

As he spoke, Qin Shou activated the "Treasured Eye" Magic, but as soon as he did, he regretted it— he felt his Yuan Qi rapidly depleting!

Frightened, he quickly turned off the magic, not daring to use it recklessly anymore.

Even so, he saw that Wu Gang's ordinary appearance concealed treasures all over!

For the first time, Qin Shou felt a liking for the "Treasured Eye" Magic!

It was simply the perfect tool for home travel, murder and robbery, sneaking and thieving—tailored just for him!

"Scram, your grandpa's respect. Return my waistband, and then you'll get respect. If not, get lost!" Wu Gang felt the light that had shone from the rabbit's eyes made his skin crawl, so he waved his hand to drive away this damn creature.

Qin Shou spread his hands and said, "I've already eaten it, how can I return it? How about I squat down and take a dump, and you can sift through it carefully?"

Clang!

Wu Gang's big axe fell to the ground. He wanted to twist his wrist and do something cool, but his waistband loosened, and he hurriedly grabbed his pants, instantly losing all momentum…

Qin Shou said, "Don't be like that, I've come to you this time for some serious business."

"You? Come to me? Serious business? Heh... your leaving would be serious business." Seeing he couldn't intimidate the rabbit, Wu Gang simply continued to chop the tree.

But instead of leaving, the rabbit moved closer, standing by watching him chop, and muttered, "How many years have you been chopping?"

Wu Gang: "Don't know!"

Rabbit: "A thousand years?"

Wu Gang: "Less than that!"

Rabbit: "Ten thousand years?"

Wu Gang: "Less than that!"

Rabbit: "A hundred thousand years?"

"Less than that!"

"A million years?"

"Less than that!"

"Are you an idiot?"
