Chapter 12 Blacky_1

Qin Shou might not have been strong in battle, but when it came to running away, that was no joke!

Even Wu Gang couldn't catch up, let alone this wreck of a man?

Moreover, Qin Shou had never let down his guard. He almost instantly performed a backward leap, avoiding the other party's large hand and jumping out of the range of capture.

The man's grasp failed, and his eyes immediately lost much of their focus...

Qin Shou asked, "What do you want to do?"

The man looked at the rabbit with its dumb and goofy appearance and thought to himself, "Has he not realized? Bad eyesight and hard of hearing too? All the better: if I get the chance, I'll catch him, kill him. Eating this rabbit will also replenish a bit of Yuan Qi and speed up my recovery. Unfortunately, I just missed..."

Although Qin Shou didn't understand why this guy wanted to grab him, he did understand one thing—this bastard was up to no good!

This kind of person must definitely not be saved!

But to go up and kill him?

Qin Shou was uncertain about the other party's fighting ability. What if he couldn't win? Then wouldn't he be like a delivery with no service charge?

Since I can't beat you, I'll just infuriate you to death!

At this moment, the man once again became listless and said, "I just wanted to get a little closer to you. Why are you running away?"

Qin Shou continued to play dumb, "I don't know why I ran either, probably just a reflex. You know what a reflex is?"

The man instinctively shook his head.

Qin Shou sat down on the ground and said, "Looking at your dumb expression, I knew it, you definitely don't know. I have time today, so I, Mr. Rabbit, will explain it to you properly. You see, a reflex, that's when a person... Right, we have to start with a person. A person is an animal with two legs..."

Qin Shou rambled on, spittle flying, for over ten minutes.

Qin Shou paused and said, "Oh, we were talking about reflexes, right? I went off-topic, let's start over. Reflexes have to start with a dog. A dog is an animal with four legs..."

At this point, the man burst out in a fit of coughing, spewing out blood as he angrily said, "I'll kill..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou picked up a stone nearby and asked, "What did you say?"

The man's ferocious face suddenly became friendly and he tried to maintain a calm and gentle tone. He then struggled to squeeze out a smile and said, "I said, I'll kill a chicken for you to eat in the future."

The rabbit snapped its fingers and said, "That's generous! By the way, what were you asking for just now?"

"Just water, okay! Stop with the nonsense, I need water!" The man was so irritated by the rambling rabbit that he felt like his lungs were about to burst.

Qin Shou flicked his large ears and said, "Got it, just a cup of water, right? Any water will do, correct?"

The man felt a bitter taste in his heart, wondering why communication was so difficult. He swore that once his injuries healed, he would definitely kill this rabbit and roast it for food. At the same time, he called out, "Yes!"

Qin Shou stretched out his paw and said, "One magic treasure for a cup of water; time to settle the bill."

"What? Pfft!" The man sprayed out old blood, creating the effect of a fountain.

Qin Shou quickly backed away and said, "One magic treasure, one cup of water, fixed price, honest trading. You can choose to drink or not, but you can't dirty my fur, or you'll have to pay up."

With anger in his eyes, the man glared at Qin Shou. If it weren't for his failure in overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation, leaving him with no Yuan Qi and unable to move, he would have liked nothing better than to eat this rabbit alive!

But when you're under someone's roof, you don't have much choice but to bow your head. He knew his own situation well; once the Ascension Bridge was broken, who knew where he'd land.

He hadn't fallen into a demon's pot, which was already a stroke of luck.

Now his entire body was withered by the Yuan Qi from the lightning strike. If not for clinging to that last breath of Yuan Qi at his core to hang onto his frail life, he'd have been dead by now. But that bit of Yuan Qi could only be used to cling to life, not for hurting others, unless he was fighting for his life! And to do that over such a rabbit? Clearly, it wasn't worth it. It was wisest to save it for a critical moment, to protect oneself against powerful demons.

As for healing himself? That would be a long and drawn-out process... He didn't even know how long it would take for him to recover.

He was even less certain whether there were other ferocious demons around besides this despicable rabbit.

If there were, being left here would likely mean certain death!

Therefore, at this moment, it was not suitable to offend this treasure-seeking, life-ignoring rabbit.

If the rabbit could provide him with water or help him find a safe place to settle down, then he could look for an opportunity to stew the rabbit and nourish his body, which would be a big gain.

So, the man tried hard to suppress his anger, and tried even harder to squeeze out what he thought was the sweetest of smiles, saying, "Look at me, do I look like someone who has a magic treasure?"

Bleh...

As a result, the rabbit took one look at his smile and decisively turned around, retching...

The man's face instantly darkened...

Without looking back, the rabbit waved its hand dismissively, "Put that expression away, it's truly disgusting..."

The man's face grew even darker... but he still retracted his smile.

Only then did the rabbit turn back to face him, sitting opposite him with its paws crossed over its chest and muttering like a human, "Why should I give you water if you have nothing? Wait, you fell from Heaven, you've been up there, is it really possible that you've got nothing?"

The man immediately said, "Mr. Rabbit, my little brother..."

"Who are you calling little? Aren't you older than me?" the rabbit suddenly flared up.

The man's face instantly changed from black to green... but still, gritting his teeth, he managed to keep from exploding with anger, and said with a smile, "Right, right, Mr. Rabbit."

Qin Shou gave a clap of his hands, then patted the man's head, saying, "There's a good boy. Now, tell me, what do you want? Right, you haven't got a name, have you? Never mind, speaking seems hard for you, so don't bother. You're so dark, and your sausage is so tiny, let's call you Blacky."

The man teared up instantly when Qin Shou patted his head and after hearing what he said... He, the Sect Master of the Wuliang Sect from Earthly Immortal Realm Wuliang Mountain, the number one cultivation expert among the mortals of Wuliang Mountain, when had he ever been patted on the head and called little brother? And to be given such a name, Blacky? My ass is black, and little your ghost!

He swore to himself, he'd die before sharing this memory! Moreover, this rabbit had to die! It must be skinned and roasted! Its bones crushed into powder to be soaked in water and drunk!

No matter how vicious his thoughts were, the man still tried hard to maintain his smile, saying, "Mr. Rabbit, my Ascension failed, and all my magic treasures were blasted into dust by the Heavenly Tribulation. It's a miracle I'm alive at all, so as for magic treasures, I really have none. If you don't believe me, you can search for yourself."

Having said that, the man lay down with the air of one who doesn't fear scalding water.

Watching his eyes, Qin Shou also knew that what the man said was about eighty percent true.

But Qin Shou was not content! He could clearly feel the sense of fullness inside him slowly fading away. Once it disappeared, he would start to get hungry. Once he became sufficiently hungry, he would enter a near-death state...

He didn't want to die, nor did he want to see Chang'e grow white hair worrying about him!
