Rabbit Must Die-Chapter 617 - 216 Return to Feidan Hall_1

Glug!

Qin Shou swallowed hard and said, "Which of you two Daoists is the disciple?"

Kui Er couldn’t stand it anymore, and touching the Rabbit’s forehead, he said, "Big Brother, this Rabbit seems to have gone foolish, asking the same question over and over again."

Qin Shou quickly slapped his hand away, then grabbed Kui Yi’s ear, howling, "Who’s the disciple? Say it again!"

With a look of resignation, Kui Yi said, "I’m the disciple of my grandfather... according to seniority, I could be your great-grandmaster."

Qin Shou rolled his eyes and said, "Scram! Every man for himself!"

Kui Yi shook his head and said, "That won’t do; I would be at a loss then."

Just at that moment, a transparent palm materialized out of thin air and slapped Kui Yi, sending him spinning in place with a smack, followed by the jovial voice of an old man: "Address each as is proper."

Upon hearing this, Kui Yi complained, "If each is addressed as is proper, then so be it! Why hit me?"

Kui Er said, "Exactly... Grandfather, your word is enough."

"No more nonsense. It wasn’t easy for that Rabbit to come all this way. Since he is your friend, you’ll be responsible for showing him around. Send him back tomorrow so his family and friends won’t worry. I’m going into seclusion, don’t bother me unless it’s important..."

After saying this, the old man’s voice disappeared.

Qin Shou stood there perplexed for a moment, then narrowed his eyes. This situation seemed like the benevolent side of the Kunpeng Patriarch towards him and the doting side towards his grandchild. But why did he feel like he had seen this scene before? It seemed familiar... almost like the shenanigans with Xunxiang and Indra by the Nether River...

Thinking carefully, it indeed resembled the scene when Xunxiang and Indra were passing the buck by the Nether River.

As he was musing, Qin Shou caught a glimpse of the green substance on Kui Yi’s head and casually asked, "Kui Yi, Kui Er, what’s that stuff on your heads?"

Kui Er, still fuming, said, "It’s all thanks to that Feidan and his crap medicine..."

At the mention of medicine, Qin Shou instinctively asked, "Medicine?"

Kui Er nodded and said, "Yeah."

Qin Shou asked, "That Feidan, he makes medicines?"

Kui Er continued to nod.

Noticing that Kui Er hadn’t picked up on Qin Shou’s implication, Kui Yi added, "Feidan is the apothecary of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, equivalent to the current Medicine King’s Palace. Feidan is in charge of alchemy and making medicines... but he’s different from your average apothecary. He prefers crafting poisons over life-saving drugs. However, it seems Feidan has been pretty busy lately, and no one knows what he’s been concocting."

Kui Er, with a touch of mystery, said, "I’ve heard that several demon generals have gone to the Earthly Immortal Realm and brought back a lot of treasures, all of which were delivered to Feidan. Just now, Bro and I went to Feidan to find some medicine for our stew, and well, you saw it... Apart from this head full of green, we didn’t find any good medicine."

Hearing this, Qin Shou immediately recalled the conversation with Golden Toad and the others. According to them, the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court was currently concocting a powerful medicine that was crucial to the rise of their clan.

And one of the ingredients for this medicine was the Ginseng Fruit!

Putting it all together...

Qin Shou smacked his lips and said to Kui Yi and Kui Er, "Gentlemen, let’s discuss something."

"What’s up?" Kui Yi and Kui Er asked in unison.

Qin Shou said, "You guys have to take me back to Feidan Hall."

"What?!" Kui Yi and Kui Er showed baffled faces.

Qin Shou chuckled and said, "This favor, you must help me with."

Kui Yi said, "Rabbit, you’re not sick, are you?"

Qin Shou glared at him, then whispered a few words into Kui Yi’s ear.

Although Kui Yi’s brain hadn’t been very bright before, after this meeting, his intelligence clearly reached the level of a normal person. So Qin Shou wasn’t afraid that he wouldn’t understand or would mess up. As for Kui Er, his intelligence was still below the normal line, but certainly much better than Kui San, that complete fool.

After listening to Qin Shou, Kui Yi stroked his chin and said, "Well, it’s not impossible to try. But if we really do this, won’t it be too treacherous?"

Qin Shou naturally said, "I don’t know about treacherous, but what I do know is that you guys are living just fine now. But once the Demon Clan in the Heavenly Court really gets ready and ascends to fight, then it’s anybody’s guess who will live and who will die..."

Kui Yi frowned deeply.

Qin Shou continued, "To put it bluntly, even though your grandfather has two badass disciples, you also have to see what those guys are now—two Saints! As they say, below the Saints, all are as ants. Even if they owe your grandfather a favor and help to deal with the Heavenly Court, so what? How do they compare to the Tongtian Cult Master during the Divine Enthronement war? Back then, the Tongtian Cult Master was beaten so badly by the Supreme Elder Lord, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable, and those two companions of theirs that not even a feather was left. If they were to fight again now, how big do you think their chances of winning would be?"

Hearing this analysis, Kui Yi was somewhat tempted.

Qin Shou followed up with, "So, by sabotaging their opportunity to rise up, we’re actually helping them, not harming. Right?"

Kui Er leaned over to Kui Yi and said, "I think Rabbit makes sense." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Kui Yi gave Kui Er a sideways glance and said, "You don’t know anything!"

After speaking, Kui Yi said to Rabbit, "However, you do make some sense."

"Are we doing it?" Qin Shou asked.

Kui Yi nodded.

Kui Er expressed his concern, "Won’t Rabbit be directly burnt to death by the alchemy fire?"

Kui Yi said, "No worries, I’ve heard them say before that the Ginseng Fruit is Yin in nature, and it acts as a catalyst. There are two types of catalysts, one is added first, and the other is added later. Ginseng Fruit is the latter, so there’ll be no problem."

Qin Shou had also heard this from the Golden Toad and others, or else he wouldn’t have come up with this plan. His teeth were sharp, but he didn’t have much confidence in the durability of his flesh. If he were thrown into the Pill Furnace and immediately burned to ashes, then what use would his impressive teeth be?

It was precisely because he had thought through all the possibilities that he intended to return to Feidan Hall.

Having figured everything out, the three scamps let out a sinister chuckle...

Meanwhile, in the Alchemy Room beneath Feidan Hall, a rat demon with a small mustache on its red claws was squatting next to a greenish Alchemy Furnace, dressed in a yellow Daoist robe with the trigrams. It was carefully fanning the Alchemy Furnace with a fan.

As the wind entered the Alchemy Furnace, the flames within fluctuated, their every move seeming to be controlled by the fan.

The rat demon’s narrowly slitted eyes were fixed on the flames inside the furnace. It frequently sniffed at the Alchemy Furnace, then with an intoxicated look, murmured, "Good... very good... absolutely perfect... If only I had a few more excellent herbs."

Just as the rat demon was indulging in its reflection, someone knocked on the door. A small rat then came in and called out to the red-clawed big rat, "Lord Feidan, Kui Yi and Kui Er request an audience."
