Rabbit Must Die-Chapter 691 - 287 Outer Heavenly Demon_1

However, to everyone’s surprise, the rabbit ignored the battle in the sky entirely and headed straight for the reed hut after making a turn.

In that instant, Dijun and Emperor Qinghua of the East exchanged glances across the distance, as if to say, "It’s looking for you."

Clearly, neither of them wanted the rabbit to seek them out.

Qin Shou glanced at Dijun, whom he didn’t recognize at all, so he immediately turned to look at Emperor Qinghua of the East and didn’t recognize him either...

Then, Qin Shou turned his head and saw the Demon Teacher Kun and Peng hiding behind something. Qin Shou turned and dashed over, plopped down in front of Demon Teacher Kun and Peng, and said, "Old Kun, let me ask you something, where’s the Moon?"

Demon Teacher Kun and Peng was stunned; he thought the rabbit was coming to him because of the recent battle, not about the Moon.

Kun and Peng shook his head right away and said, "No idea, the Moon was already gone when we arrived."

Qin Shou looked at the others; Jimeng shook his head like a rattle drum while saying, "Exactly, exactly... We didn’t see the Moon when we arrived. We know it’s your home, no one touched it."

Qin Shou stared at everyone and asked, "Really?"

All of them nodded along.

Dijun stood to the side, looking down and sipping tea, his face half-hidden by the teacup lid.

Seeing this, Qin Shou frowned and asked, "What are you sneaking around for? You look guilty."

Dijun indeed felt guilty, but evidently not about the Moon; he chuckled and said, "Not feeling well recently, need to drink more hot water. Indeed the Moon was gone when we got here, but if you really want to know where the Moon has gone, you’d better go ask over there."

Qin Shou, unable to get any useful information, didn’t say much since he knew he couldn’t really take on these big shots before him and it was not wise to offend them to death. There was one thing he couldn’t understand, though: why were these guys looking at him as if he were their ancestor? Some were trembling like they were winnowing chaff.

After much thought, Qin Shou concluded that Fang Ya must have come by.

Turning away, Qin Shou headed straight for the Heavenly Court.

There were many familiar faces in the Heavenly Court, but he didn’t see Wenqu Star Monarch and the others; his gaze fixed on Taibai Star Monarch in the crowd.

Seeing the rabbit coming, Taibai Star Monarch approached with a wry smile and greeted, "Rabbit, it’s been a long time."

Qin Shou had a lot of respect for Taibai Star Monarch; after all, his first pot of gold had been earned by swindling Taibai Star Monarch, but he considered that support from him. Even when the rabbit was furious, he managed to keep his cool for those to whom he owed a favor.

"Star Monarch, greetings. Have you seen our Chang’e? Why is the Moon missing?" Qin Shou asked.

Upon hearing this, Taibai Star Monarch sighed and said, "I knew you would ask about this, but you might not believe whatever I say. Take a look at this... This was taken by the Mighty Spirit God at the time."

Qin Shou took the Shadow Printing Stone and looked at it, only to see a pale, interesting interest floating in the starry sky—that was indeed the Moon! 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

At that moment, the Mighty Spirit God appeared on the scene, posing and taking selfies with the Shadow Printing Stone, looking quite pleased.

Just then, streaks of white light, like lightning, began to emanate from the Moon in the background, followed by a series of cooing sounds as if something was calling out. Soon, the entire Moon was enveloped in white light and the next moment... Qin Shou watched, wide-eyed, as the Moon ran away!

Yes, wrapped in a layer of white light, like a shooting star, the Moon flew away, heading deep into the starry sky!

At that moment, the Mighty Spirit God shouted excitedly, "The moon has run away! What... what’s going on?"

Then the image became chaotic, and the Shadow Printing Stone went dark shortly after.

Taibai Star Monarch said, "This is the truth."

If it were someone else, Qin Shou might not have believed it, but Taibai Star Monarch was different; he tended to believe what he said.

Therefore, Qin Shou asked, "Do you know where it went?"

It was then that Emperor Qinghua of the East said, "I’ve calculated the possibilities, but I can’t pinpoint the exact location. I only know that it headed towards the depths of the starry sky."

Qin Shou asked, "What’s in the depths of the starry sky?"

Emperor Qinghua of the East shook his head and replied, "The starry sky is just the starry sky, full of endless stars. That’s what my teacher said, and it should be correct."

Qin Shou knew that Tianyong City Council members probably knew what Emperor Qinghua of the East was saying; his teacher must be the Hongjun Patriarch, the Saint’s master at the Purple Sky Palace, and the person who understood Heaven and Earth the most. His words should indeed be the truth.

Qin Shou said, "Could you tell me the approximate location?"

Emperor Qinghua of the East took out a map and said, "I have marked it on here already. You can follow this direction to find it. Don’t worry, the moon was the Taiyin Star of the past, and it has its own protection methods. The people up there won’t be in danger. However, your journey will definitely not be smooth, for there are dangers unique to the depths of the starry sky. That place is inhabited mostly by the Dark Clan, which were exiled by the Heavenly Court long ago."

Qin Shou scratched his head and asked, "The Dark Clan?"

Taibai Star Monarch added, "They are essentially the scourge of all clans. Due to the variety of races, we refer to them as the Dark Clan. Some people also like to call them outer Heavenly Demons. Those guys are isolated and lonely out there, always looking for opportunities to sneak back. The best and most reliable way for them is to transform into an intangible state, then influence others during their cultivation or tribulation, causing them to go insane and die, and afterwards take over their bodies, resembling a possession. Even the Heavenly Court doesn’t have a very good way to detect if they are fugitives.

So, many call them outer Heavenly Demons. On your way there, you’re bound to encounter them. Your aura is different from theirs in the depths of the starry sky. To them, you’re like a light in the darkness; they are the mosquitoes in the darkness, destined to flock towards you.

"Back when we banished them, they harbored hatred towards us, so you can imagine what it would be like for you to go there. Rabbit, if you ask me, it’s better that you don’t go. Who knows, maybe the moon will come back on its own at some point."

Qin Shou resolutely shook his head and said, "If there was nothing in the depths of the starry sky, I wouldn’t go. But now, I must!"

After speaking, Qin Shou said, "Where are my teachers?"

"They are of no significance in this grand battle and are staying in Tianyong City, at the Kitchen God’s little shop," said Taibai Star Monarch.

Qin Shou nodded, then turned to Li Jing and asked, "How are brother Nezha and Zhenying doing?"

Li Jing had a somewhat strange expression and his attitude towards Qin Shou was also quite peculiar, kind but seemingly wanting to keep a distance, probably because Qin Shou’s transformation had frightened him. He replied, "They’re fine, that... You should start your journey soon."

Qin Shou nodded and then headed towards Tianyong City.

Once Qin Shou left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief...

Dijun finally poured the tea in his hand into his mouth and smacked his lips, saying, "Finally gone..."

PS: Rabbit will definitely update normally. I’ll keep updating even if it’s exhausting. Generally, I write the new book during the day and work on Rabbit at night. I’m striving hard and can’t let down everyone’s subscriptions and votes.
