NOVEL NEXT Chapter 810: The Weak and Incompetent Rabbit
At this moment, the Nine Yin God looked at Yi Zheng. Yi Zheng glared back: "Why are you looking at me? I'm just at the thirteenth tier!"
The Nine Yin God snorted coldly: "You know you're at the thirteenth tier, yet you still strut around in front of us? This is not a place for you to speak."
Yi Zheng was so angry he bared his teeth but then said, "Anyway, at the thirteenth tier I don't have the power to instantly kill the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal. Those with the power are here, so you guys chat."
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned deeply, silently cursing this damn Rabbit for his lack of tact.
But on second thought, what the Rabbit said seemed to make sense.
So each of them cautiously looked at each other.
Jidian chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha, everyone, although we all have our suspicions, I think no one wants to be seen as a murderer, right?"
Everyone nodded.
Jidian said: "In that case, why don't we all sit down and talk? I believe we all have reasonable explanations to clear our names."
The Azure Lion said: "Sounds good to me! Besides, with this long night, who the hell knows if the killer will strike again. If they do, hmm hmm...
Anyway, I'm not going to sleep peacefully.
Besides, although the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal is dead, he can be resurrected in a day.
By then, we can simply ask who did it!
Everyone thought this made sense. Rather than twisting their brains here, they might as well wait for the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal to resurrect and ask him directly.
Even if the killer hides their identity, the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal can at least point them in the right direction.
Most importantly, no one wants to be sneaked upon, so all those with suspicions gathered together. Whoever dares to leave would have a hard time escaping suspicion if something happens.
Therefore, everyone lit a bonfire at the door of the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal's place and sat down.
In the distance, Yi Zheng, the barks-at-heaven dog, the Fair Peach Branch, the Catfish God, and others couldn't sleep either and gathered in groups of three or five, lighting bonfires and waiting.
For these Divine Beasts with long lifespans, one night is very short, but sitting here doing nothing makes it feel quite long. Initially, it was fine, but over time, everyone started to feel a bit bored.
The barks-at-heaven dog yawned and said: "So boring... Rabbit, do you have anything good to eat? Bring something out to pass the time."
Yi Zheng rummaged through his things, shook his head, and said: "Haven't stocked up for a long time, just some tofu and a few seasonings left. I do have some wine, but don't think about my Jadescent Nectar; I need to save some."
The barks-at-heaven dog scoffed: "Just tofu... that's boring."
Yi Zheng also found it boring, but just sitting idly was indeed a bit dull.
Just then, someone shouted: "Look at that Rabbit, I bet if you squeeze him dry, you could get ten pounds of oil!"
Yi Zheng immediately looked displeased, and it was the Catfish God who had spoken.
The Catfish God was only slightly wary of the barks-at-heaven dog and Jidian, and of course, he feared the Mount Tai God the most. As for Yi Zheng, he wasn't afraid at all, but thinking of the Rabbit's skill at insults, he immediately ducked his head, feeling a bit guilty.
Yi Zheng thought to himself, I've been in this business for years, when have I ever taken this kind of crap?
But the Mount Tai God had said no one could kill here, so he couldn't make a move.
Send in the Insulting Demon to open fire?
Right now, everyone's chatting; who knows who the Insulting Demon might insult? Randomly using the Insulting Demon might invite trouble for himself.
Seeing the Catfish God stroking his own whiskers with a smug look, occasionally glancing at himself, Yi Zheng knew with his feet that this jerk wasn't up to any good!
At that moment, Yi Zheng slapped his thigh: "Right! Tofu, tofu!"
The barks-at-heaven dog said: "Rabbit, the guy's cursing you, why are you mumbling about tofu? Given a piece of tofu, could you even eat it?
If it were me, I definitely couldn't eat it.
Rabbit, you're really weak.
If I were you, being insulted like that, I'd have to make a move and slap him!"
The barks-at-heaven dog was just talking big; he didn't really expect Yi Zheng to have the guts to take action.
The chubby Rabbit in front reacted to these words by slamming the table: "Brother Gou, you're right!"
"Huh?!" Now it was the barks-at-heaven dog's turn to be dumbfounded: "What? What's right?"
Then he saw the Rabbit abruptly get up and walk directly towards the not-far-off Catfish God.
The barks-at-heaven dog panicked, grabbing Yi Zheng: "Rabbit, are you crazy? Are you really going to make a move?"
On the other side, the Catfish God immediately tensed up; though not afraid of the Rabbit, the atmosphere was delicate now, and he was worried about causing trouble by making a move.
For a moment, the Catfish God regretted provoking this foul-mouthed Rabbit; this guy was too reckless!
Or maybe, too brainless!
The Catfish God stared hard at the Rabbit, thinking how to deal with the upcoming conflict.
Then he saw Yi Zheng sway his rabbit ears and say boastfully: "Who said I'm going to make a move? The Heavenly Mountain God said no killing!
I'm a peace-loving, kind-hearted, and friendly Rabbit.
Besides, I'm just a little white Rabbit. What bad intentions could I have?
Let go, I'm just going over to chat with that Catfish."
The barks-at-heaven dog looked into the Rabbit's big, bright eyes, which seemed sincere. But as someone who often looked in the mirror, the barks-at-heaven dog knew, those eyes... couldn't be trusted!
For a moment, he was unsure what the Rabbit was thinking.
But in the end, the barks-at-heaven dog released his grip, and Yi Zheng tossed his head and walked towards the Catfish God.
Hearing the Rabbit say he wasn't going to fight, the Catfish God breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began swaggering, raising his head: "Rabbit, if you're not here to fight, what are you here for?"
Yi Zheng looked up at the towering Catfish God, but the corner of his eye was focused on the Catfish God's thigh: "Catfish God, in the current situation, I don't think we should keep clashing.
Why don't we make up?"
The Catfish God laughed at these words.
Although the Catfish God didn't want to start trouble at this time, making up with a thirteenth-tier Rabbit?
Doesn't that mean he, the dignified fourteenth-tier Divine Beast Catfish God, is afraid of this Rabbit? Or that he equals the Rabbit?
This would lower his status!
So, the Catfish God arrogantly said: "Rabbit, aren't you thinking too wishfully?
When you cursed me before, you were spitting saliva all over, cursing with all your might?
You think it can all just end here?
Dreaming, huh!
Today, I won't cause you trouble, but you better behave, and when this matter is settled, hmm hmm, I'll drop by for a visit!"
Saying this, the Catfish God waved his big hand directly: "You can leave now!"
However, the Rabbit in front of him didn't leave, still staring with those clear, innocent, harmless big eyes that said 'I'm very kind, I'm very cute, I'm harmless' at him: "Can't we just not fight?"
Seeing the Rabbit so timid, the Catfish God guessed the Rabbit didn't dare to cause trouble here, so he grew more confident, crossed his arms, turned his head away, and said: "No!"
"Not even a little room to make up?" the Rabbit continued using those spotlight-like big eyes to look at the Catfish God.
The Catfish God refused without hesitation: "No room at all!"
