Chapter 450: Chapter 440: Kickbacks Start with the Rabbit Chapter 450: Chapter 440: Kickbacks Start with the Rabbit Ying Zhao gave a wry smile and said, “How else can we offer tribute? We just search everywhere for heavenly and earthly treasures. If we can’t find any, we’ll capture so prisoners and sacrifice them. The treasures are generally of Level Eight, although there are occasionally Level Nine ones, but those are too precious.”
While resources on Kunlun Mountain would randomly be replenished every so often, they were still difficult to obtain.
Many tribes fought bloody battles over these offerings…
The most important thing is that The Queen Mother of the West doesn’t care about these things at all.
They offer them up to her, and she just casually tosses them aside.
Anyway, over the years, I’ve never seen anyone’s gift bring a smile to The Queen Mother of the West’s face.”
Yi Zheng stroked his chin, lost in thought.
In Ying Zhao’s eyes, that ant The Queen Mother of the West was difficult to serve.
But through Yi Zheng’s eyes, it ant the locals were all “straight male cancer” cases. They couldn’t even manage sothing as simple as pleasing The Queen Mother of the West, utterly useless to the extre!
Since he would rely on this big tree in the future, Yi Zheng figured, it was necessary for him to seriously consider how to win over The Queen Mother of the West.
And also to give these tasteless straight guys a proper lesson, to outcompete them with Earthling thods and bury these sycophants!
Yi Zheng started to contemplate his plans for the rest of his rabbit life, first determining which Divine to choose as his Guardian God.
Just as Yi Zheng was considering who to pick, distant rumbling of hoofbeats approached.
Looking up, he saw that Ma Lin had returned.
Their tribe was the nearest to Yi Zheng’s location, and Ma Lin was the quickest to return. As soon as he saw Yi Zheng and Ying Zhao, Ma Lin hurriedly dismounted and prostrated himself, tearfully beseeching, “Lord Yi Zheng, I’ve brought everything of value from my tribe. But I fear that even these might still fall short of The Queen Mother of the West’s standards, What do you think…?”
At this point, Ma Lin’s entire body trembled.
Here, failing to properly worship a Divine could an being abandoned or having one’s tribe annihilated at any mont.
So Ma Lin was truly afraid.
Yi Zheng casually took a look at the offerings and was imdiately overjoyed. They were all Level Seven heavenly and earthly treasures, not high-grade at two or three stars each, but they were just perfect for Yi Zheng’s current use!
Offering such good stuff to The Queen Mother of the West would be a total waste!
Although his mind was filled with all sorts of sches, his face showed disdain as he grimaced at Ma Lin, saying, “This stuff is no good!
People are offering Level Nine heavenly and earthly treasures, and The Queen Mother of the West doesn’t even glance at them; you plan to offer these to The Queen Mother of the West?
Are you looking down on The Queen Mother of the West or insulting her?
Are you tired of living?”
Ying Zhao very cooperatively stomped his foot and shouted with formidable aura, “How dare you!”
Ma Lin was scared into kneeling on the ground, kowtowing like he was pounding garlic and crying out, “Lord Rabbit, Lord Ying Zhao, our tribe is small, we really don’t have anything better to offer…
This is already my limit.
I’ve even dug up the burial objects from our ancestral grave…
I have elders above and children below, please, your lordships, have rcy, help …”
Ma Lin wept bitterly, his long face resembling a washboard.
Seeing that the ti was right, Yi Zheng sighed and patted Ma Lin on the shoulder: “Alright, alright, you’re a pitiful man, and I, am a rabbit with a conscience and imnse kindness.
Well then, I won’t offer your things to The Queen Mother of the West for now, and when you get truly good stuff, we’ll offer it then.
But I can only help you this once.
Don’t expect it to happen again!”
Upon hearing this, Ma Lin knocked his head on the ground in a frenzy, saying, “Thank you, Lord Rabbit, thank you, Lord Rabbit!”
Then he saw that the rabbit, which just a mont ago wore a face of righteousness and compassion, was now stuffing the things he had offered into his own pocket!
Yi Zheng, noticing Ying Zhao staring with wide eyes and an incredulous expression, said, “What are you looking at? Surely you don’t think we should offer these to The Queen Mother of the West?”
Ying Zhao imdiately shook his head, “That trash, The Queen Mother of the West wouldn’t even give it a look, she might just slap you instead.”
Yi Zheng replied, “That’s how it should be, right? To prevent The Queen Mother of the West from getting angry, to maintain her happiness, to protect the safety of Brother Ma Lin’s entire family, I can only reluctantly, with a heavy heart and under imnse pressure, take these items.
Alas, it’s hard to be a good person these days.
You tell , isn’t what I’m doing righteous?”
Neither Ying Zhao nor Ma Lin, unfamiliar with such smooth talk, instinctively nodded, “Righteous!”
Yi Zheng went on, “That’s right, it’s not easy for ! If it weren’t for Brother Ma Lin’s pitiful state, and my too kind heart, as well as my unwillingness to upset The Queen Mother of the West, would I do such a thing? I’m being driven to the wall! There’s a phrase for it, right, this is called ‘sacrificing oneself for justice’, this is called ‘benevolence’!
If we were in the Buddhist Sect, it’s like ‘only I can enter Hell for their sake.'”
“Benevolence! Compassion!” Ying Zhao and Ma Lin continued to nod.
Then the two of them ca back to their senses, with Ma Lin cursing in his heart, “Benevolence and compassion my ass, if you were truly benevolent and compassionate, wouldn’t you return the stuff to instead of stuffing it into your own pocket?”
Ying Zhao slapped his forehead, his eyes shining, and roared in his heart, “Damn, so you can play it like this? It ans I’ve wasted these years, how much wealth have I missed out on! Lord Rabbit truly is The Queen Mother of the West’s honored guest, what a brilliant mind!”
Seeing that the two were almost completely swayed, Yi Zheng waved his hand and said, “Alright, alright, don’t look at with such admiration, I don’t like others being grateful for the good things I do.
Well… Ma Lin, make sure you bring any good stuff to as soon as you get it, so I can check the quality. If it’s good enough, we’ll offer it to The Queen Mother of the West to make up for this oversight.
“If it’s no good, I don’t want it either. You can just take it back,”
Ma Lin, Ying Zhao, and the others, as natives of Kunlun Mountain, were quite simple-minded—thanks to the straightforward governance of the gods. However, being simple didn’t an they were foolish.
Just by looking at that damn rabbit’s temperant, he knew that if it actually brought sothing over, it was very likely a case of offering a at bun to a dog—there’s no getting it back.
Even if he could get it back, it would only be the trash that the damn rabbit didn’t want…
But Ma Lin dared not offend the rabbit and could only pinch his nose and accept it.
Yi Zheng said, “By the way, do you know who’s the strongest around here? I an, which Guardian God is the strongest.”
Although Ma Lin didn’t understand what Yi Zheng was up to, he still pointed towards the mountain and said, “Up the mountain about a hundred and fifty li, there’s a cave where a Yellow Skins Demon lives, who claims to be Immortal Kuhuang.
He is the strongest demon god in this area.”
“Rabbit deity, why do you ask this?”
Yi Zheng waved his hand and said, “Nothing much, you go ahead with your things.”
Ma Lin quickly left, fearing that if he walked too slowly, he would again be skinned by that damn rabbit.
At this mont, he truly regretted it. Why on earth had he been bewitched to chase after these rabbits?!
With a heart filled with painful joy, Ma Lin walked into the forest, and shortly after, there was a series of mournful howls from there, frightening the nearby birds into squawking and flying in all directions.
In Ying Zhao’s mind were full thoughts of Yi Zheng’s shady kickback scheming, and he couldn’t wait to find a place to give it a try, so he too took his leave.
Before long, there were mournful howls deep in the woods…
Yi Zheng wasn’t idle either. The heavens and the earth are vast, but safety is paramount.
Once they left, he imdiately went up the mountain to find Immortal Kuhuang. He wanted to get so protection for his tribe first.
This trip made Yi Zheng regret letting Ma Lin and Ying Zhao go.
The strength of this Divine Level world was terrifying.
The gravity and wind force were both incredibly formidable.
Even with Yi Zheng’s physique, he couldn’t run fast. A hundred and fifty li truly made Yi Zheng want to curse, but soon he realized sothing.
After all, he was a sect leader and visiting soone else should at least be done with so courtesy; bringing a gift was proper.
But he had co with empty claws, and finding a gift on the spot seed rather difficult.
He had things in his backpack, but those were things he couldn’t bear to give to a weasel…
Just as Yi Zheng was pondering what to do, a commotion broke out ahead.
Yi Zheng quickly hid.
Before long, he saw two Wild Chicken Demons swaggering this way.
One Wild Chicken Demon said, “Big Brother, we agreed, okay? Once we get there, we have to split everything—rabbits, chickens, and all—equally!”
“How else could we do it if not split equally? Are we going to fight over it? Our powers are pretty similar; there’s no need for that,” the leading Bai Rooster responded with a chuckle, “Besides, I heard there are more than a million people there. Split fifty-sothing thousand each and be content.”
The big Bai Rooster nodded, “Big Brother is right, haha!”
Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng thought to himself, well, these two fellows actually planned to divide up his property!
Could he allow that?
Then Yi Zheng stroked his chin, “I’m going to visit a weasel, and these two are big roosters!
Don’t I have no gifts in my hands…”
Suddenly, Yi Zheng’s eyes brightened.
Just as the two big roosters were about to pass by him, Yi Zheng roared out, “Evil Bodhisattva, Green-Faced Evil Buddha, suppress them for !”
In an instant, a huge Buddha descended from the sky, the Evil Bodhisattva howled with Big Axe in hand, “Mommy’s out again!”
The two big roosters instantly felt a terrifying intent to kill, their feathers stood on end, and they scread, ready to counterattack.
But then a pair of bronze Buddha hands descended from the sky, and before the two big roosters could fight back, they were slapped to the ground.
Yi Zheng was dumbfounded: “Damn, I thought these two were powerful. Turns out they’re just two chickens!”
In fact, this was just sothing Yi Zheng didn’t understand.
The so-called divine beings on Kunlun Mountain were actually Level 7 BOSSes, and those so-called seekers of refuge were just ordinary wild monsters and NPCs.
BOSSes were naturally many tis stronger than ordinary wild monsters, so they were akin to divine beings.
These two big roosters were just Level 7 two-star toughies. They had decent levels, but without a good cultivation technique or treasures, they were no match for the Green-Faced Evil Buddha.
Regarding the Green-Faced Evil Buddha taking all the glory, the Evil Bodhisattva was visibly dissatisfied and glared angrily: “You baldy, didn’t leave a single one for mommy!”
Although the Green-Faced Evil Buddha was just an artifact spirit, it had already recognized Yi Zheng as its master during the great battle with Daoist Xuan Gu.
After recognizing its master, the spirit of the Green-Faced Evil Buddha also awakened.
Hearing the Evil Bodhisattva curse at him, it imdiately beca unhappy.
