Rabbit Must Die-Chapter 320 - 317 Don’t Fight_1

Qin Shou got up from the ground, looked up at Lu Ban, and without anger, he said, "Master, did you miss me?"

Lu Ban snorted, "If you bring me a bottle of wine like this every other day, I would miss you like hell every day!"

Qin Shou asked, "What if I bring it a few days later?"

Lu Ban replied, "Still miss you."

Qin Shou, "What about a few more days later?"

Lu Ban didn’t answer but patted De Tower and said, "No worries, your master always persuades others with virtue."

Qin Shou, "..."

Lu Yi said, "Master, you mentioned that different wines have different ways of drinking and should be served in different vessels. Could you demonstrate for us?"

Lu Ban nodded, glanced at Rabbit, and said, "Do you have any other wines? Bring them all out."

Qin Shou took out a jug of wine brewed by the Sea Clan and asked, "Master, how do you plan to drink this wine from the Sea Clan?"

Lu Ban picked up the jug, one in each hand, leaped onto De Tower, and said, "Different wines, of course, have different ways of drinking! Today, I’ll open your eyes!"

Qin Shou, Lu Yi, and Lu Er were all curious and looked up.

They saw Lu Ban slap the seal off the sea wine and then say, "There are two kinds of wine in the world!"

Qin Shou frowned, "Just two types?"

Lu Ban nodded, "Yes! Just two, one is the good-tasting, and the other is the bad-tasting. This bad-tasting wine, there’s no need to drink it at all, just throw it away. As for the good-tasting wine, naturally, there’s finesse to it. For instance, this jug... the way to drink it is... to chug it all from the jug!"

Then Lu Ban tilted his head back and gulped down the entire jug of sea wine with a ’glug glug’!

Then he picked up another jug of wine, tilting his head back to continue drinking...

Qin Shou realized that Lu Ban had been rambling on; he was purely bluffing for the wine...

After Lu Ban finished the wine in his hands, he burped and said, "Ah... this wine is good, but it’s a pity it’s not the Wine God’s ’Thousand-Year Drunkenness’. If I could have a jug of that, it would be glorious..."

Curious, Qin Shou asked, "Is that wine hard to get?"

Lu Ban laughed, "Hard to get? It’s simply impossible to get! I’ve been in Heaven for so many years, and I’ve had my dealings with the Wine God, but I’ve only tasted it three times! Even the Wine God himself probably doesn’t have much stock. Flat Peaches are rare, Ginseng Fruits are also hard to come by, and other immortal-level items of their caliber are equally rare! They’re already rare on their own, and using all of them to brew wine, the difficulty of that... it’s just like a fool trying to cultivate!"

Qin Shou grinned; this was the first time he had heard such a comparison.

But upon reflection, for a fool with terrible aptitude to cultivate and become an immortal seemed indeed harder than reaching the skies. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Having drunk two jugs, the wine’s effect started to take hold of Lu Ban, who pulled Rabbit up onto De Tower, patted its head, and said, "You dead rascal, just left without looking back, didn’t you?"

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Qin Shou had indeed not visited often. Scratching his head, he said, "Master, haven’t I been busy?"

Smack!

Lu Ban gave him a slap, "Busy? Are you busier than me? You rascal, I heard you went to the East Sea recently. How was it? The old Dragon King didn’t bully you, did he? If he did, just take De Tower down with you. Don’t fight, remember to persuade with virtue, got it?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou felt a twinge in his nose. Heavenly Gods can’t descend to the mortal world, even an old Heavenly God like Lu Ban couldn’t.

Most importantly, there’s a crucial rule in Heaven; quarrels between Heavenly Gods must be resolved in Lingxiao Hall and private duels are forbidden.

With Lu Ban offering De Tower for Qin Shou to take down, he was already pushing the envelope, which carried some risk. And all this was just because he was worried about him being bullied...

Thinking back to when he was bound by the thunderbolt chain, and his master, with no regard for his own safety, charged in and dispersed the thunder tribulation cloud—such protective warmth made Qin Shou’s nose tingle even more.

Qin Shou, with a hint of a crying tone, said, "Master, don’t worry... Your disciple out here, I’m only the one bullying others, no one dares to bully me!"

Lu Ban burst into laughter and said, "Well done! But I’ll tell you this, although we’re a bunch of rough men, rough men don’t do rough things, we still have to convince people with reason."

Qin Shou was startled and said, "Master, what exactly is this ’reason’ you’re talking about? I’m kind of confused right now."

Lu Ban patted De Tower and said with a sly chuckle, "All the rationale in the world is bullshit, all the reason lies in this strength! With strength, you have reason! Without strength, just reason alone is asking for a beating."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou nodded slightly and said, "Got it."

Smack!

Lu Ban slapped him again and said, "You got it, and you’re not offering your master a drink?"

Qin Shou was speechless and said, "Master, you’re being unreasonable..."

Lu Ban said, "I’m stronger than you, so I am the reason! What about it? Wanna argue?"

Qin Shou quickly conceded and brought out four more jars of fine wine from the Kitchen God.

This time, Lu Ban didn’t drink it all himself. Instead, he called over Lu Yi and Lu Er, and the four sat atop De Tower, drinking and admiring the moon slowly rising in the sky! They talked until midnight...

That night, Qin Shou didn’t go home. The four of them lay on De Tower, each sprawled out in the shape of the character "big," boasting to each other until dawn approached, and then all four of them fell asleep, each snoring louder than the last, until daylight.

When dawn came, there was an additional woman beside them, gently wiping the rabbit’s face.

Qin Shou slowly opened his eyes to see Chang’e, who had apparently come at some unknown time, pursing her lips as if a little angry but also somewhat helpless, "You didn’t go home again."

Qin Shou grinned sheepishly and said, "Well... I drank too much and overslept."

Chang’e pinched Qin Shou’s cheek and asked, "Feeling better?"

Qin Shou nodded vigorously and said, "Much better for sure, how did you find out I was here?"

Chang’e sat beside Qin Shou and said, "I went to the Kitchen God to look for you, and he told me you hadn’t gone home, so you were probably here."

Qin Shou was startled and asked, "He knew?"

Chang’e laughed and said, "When I left, the Kitchen God commented, ’That kid is so stingy, visiting his teacher and only bringing ten jars of wine, not even enough for Master Lu to drink alone.’"

Before Qin Shou could reply, he heard Lu Ban’s roaring voice from nearby: "Ten jars? Rabbit, you were actually holding out on me? Where’s the other five jars? Bring them out now!"

Qin Shou was speechless, forcing a smile, "Master, I’ve still got another master to visit; surely you’ve got to leave me some, right?"

Lu Ban was taken aback, scratching his head and said, "Could it be Wenqu from Wenqu Palace of Shushan?"

Qin Shou replied, "Yeah."

Lu Ban thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, I don’t really have anything to give you as a gift, I’ll hold off on this wine. When are you going? Let me know."

Qin Shou answered, "Master, I’m planning to set off in a bit."

Lu Ban stated, "Going later is not as good as going now!"

Qin Shou looked carefully at Lu Ban and asked, "Master, you’re not mad at me, are you?"

Lu Ban rolled his eyes and exclaimed, "Mad at your grandpa! If you’re going, let’s get going now! When we get there, we can pick up from last night’s drinking momentum, and while the alcohol demon is still asleep, we can continue to indulge."
