Chapter 510: Chapter 500 Rabbit Goes to School

Queen Mother silently watched the Queen Mother of the West, who was sound asleep, and said nothing.

Then the Queen Mother of the West woke up. She rubbed her bleary eyes, glanced at the rabbit that the Queen Mother was holding, and her face was filled with displeasure.

The Queen Mother said, “He has been with me for a few days.”

The eyes of the Queen Mother of the West suddenly flashed with fierceness, like a little leopard about to bite someone!

Yi Zheng became excited in an instant, shouting in his heart, “That’s right, that’s the face, that’s the spirit! Go for it, Boss Lady!”

Then Yi Zheng saw the Queen Mother take out a pouch and hand it to the Queen Mother of the West. The latter took the pouch doubtfully, opened it, and after looking inside, her eyes immediately sparkled. She beamed and exclaimed, “Deal!”

“Pfft!”

Yi Zheng almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had thought that the Queen Mother of the West despised the Queen Mother so much she would definitely reject her proposal.

He had never expected that, at the crucial moment, the Queen Mother of the West would raise her hand and sell him out just like that!

The Queen Mother of the West said, “One week, he must come back in a week.”

The Queen Mother agreed, “Alright, one week it is.”

And so, right in front of Yi Zheng, the two women completed their deal.

Yi Zheng looked at the Queen Mother of the West with a pitiful expression, “Great Queen Mother of the West, won’t you reconsider?”

The Queen Mother of the West glanced at Yi Zheng, smiled, and lifted the pouch in her hand, “Lots of things I need, no second thoughts. Have fun this week, I’m off.”

Finishing her words, the Queen Mother of the West, unable to wait any longer, quickly packed up her stuff and ran. This time, she didn’t forget those four big animals, and with a wave of her hand, she took them all with her, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

“Damn, not leaving anyone for me?” Yi Zheng wailed in his heart.

Afterwards, he felt the vast Kunlun Mountain become quiet, and then there were more eyes looking at him–starting from his feet, they gazed all the way up to the tips of his ears.

Although Yi Zheng couldn’t hear what they were saying, he could imagine–they were surely flipping through the menu as they looked at him!

“It’s over, I’m not going to have an easy time this week,” Yi Zheng lamented in his heart.

However, to Yi Zheng’s surprise, the Queen Mother didn’t immediately give him a hard time. Instead, she took him back to her mountain peak, sat down on her chair, placed him on her lap, and gently stroked Yi Zheng’s head, “Little Rabbit, I’ve noticed you from the moment you entered, too ill-mannered.”

The words ‘too ill-mannered’ sent shivers down Yi Zheng’s spine: “It’s over, she’s going to operate on me.”

Then he heard the Queen Mother continue, “The Queen Mother of the West is ill-mannered, and so are you, which won’t do. Nobody dares to discipline her, but when you’re ill-mannered, it’s her face you’re losing. How about this, you stay in Kunlun for the week and learn some etiquette…”

As she said this, the Queen Mother turned to the assembly of deities and asked, “Everyone, would anyone like to teach this Little Rabbit some Heavenly Court manners?”

Upon hearing this, all the gathered gods and immortals grinned at Yi Zheng.

They had already been displeased with him for scavenging around earlier.

Now that the Queen Mother of the West wasn’t backing him and the Queen Mother had made such a request, they all perked up, clamoring to volunteer.

“Queen Mother, I, True Lord Huode, would like to teach him!” yelled a man who clearly had a fiery temper.

Then another laughed scornfully, “True Lord Huode, although your name contains ‘virtue’, with the way you act, you talk about teaching someone? You probably can’t even remember a few rules of Heavenly Court manners.”

True Lord Huode became furious, “What do you mean, Star Lord Shuide?”

Unruffled, Star Lord Shuide stroked his beard and chuckled, “Just what it sounds like! If we’re talking about teaching, ‘supreme goodness is like water.’ It would be more suitable for me to do the teaching.”

“Supreme goodness is like water? Why should it be your turn? Wouldn’t I be even better?” Gonggong entered the conversation.

Star Lord Shuide didn’t dare to argue with Gonggong and immediately backed down.

“Gonggong, no one else may speak of you, but don’t you know your own character? Look at you, neither sitting nor standing properly, spending all your time either fixing rivers or moving mountains. You have nothing to do with manners!” Zhu Rong mocked.

Gonggong glared, “I’m not suitable, but you are? With a head looking like the backside of a flame rooster!”

Zhu Rong wanted to retort, but as soon as the Queen Mother uttered a cold snort, he immediately shut up.

The Queen Mother declared, “I tasked you all to properly instruct this rabbit, not to take this opportunity for revenge. If you truly have the confidence to teach this rabbit well, step forward!”

Upon these words, the gods realized that the Queen Mother was serious.

And so, they all fell silent.

Who would joke about it? Anyone could slap this rabbit twice without a second thought, but teaching this rabbit…

Just look at that bunny’s attitude; not a single good hair on his body!

Teach him?

Forget it.

The crowd shook their heads one after another…

Seeing that nobody spoke up, the Queen Mother’s brow furrowed slightly.

At this time, an elder stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, since no one is willing to volunteer, why not appoint someone to teach this Rabbit?”

As soon as these words came out, the gods glared at the elder, and in the depths of their eyes seemed to say, “Gold Star Taibai, you can’t just throw us under the bus like that!”

The Queen Mother’s eyes lit up, then she swept her gaze over the gods, who immediately lowered their heads, not daring to meet her eyes for fear of being saddled with that Rabbit.

Seeing no one lift their heads, the Queen Mother felt it was inappropriate to single anyone out to teach the Rabbit.

At this point, Gold Star Taibai spoke up again, “If Your Majesty can’t find a suitable candidate, I might suggest someone.”

Queen Mother asked, “Oh? Who is it?”

Gold Star Taibai said, “Literary Sage Confucius’s own Kong Ni!”

As soon as he said this, Yi Zheng’s ears perked up instantly, thinking, “My god, Confucius? Hell no…”

He thought about how he had twisted the Analects into misinterpretations to teach the rabbits, and if he really fell into Confucius’s hands, Confucius would probably need not do anything else but beat him for a week!

Yi Zheng could already envision an old man, furious and towering over him, unleashing a barrage of scolding.

Then he heard the Queen Mother say, “I have heard of this man; he is one of the rare individuals who established himself through martial prowess and attained sainthood through literature. Moreover, I hear he is particularly gifted at reasoning…”

Gold Star Taibai nodded and said, “I have not met this Literary Sage either, just heard that when he ascended to the Heavenly Court, he took an official post and left, very proud in character…

However, I’ve heard he indeed is someone very reasonable.

His mantra is to convince others through virtue; over the years since his ascension, he has truly persuaded many demons and ghosts to lay down their weapons and follow him to devote themselves to cultivation.

Among them are some of the exceptional demons, like the Demon Lord of Mayhem.

Therefore, I believe that in terms of profound knowledge, Wenqu Star Lord is second to none.”

Down below, Wenqu Star Lord proudly lifted his head, considering himself quite superior in that regard.

Gold Star Taibai continued, “But when it comes to teaching an uncouth person manners, I think Confucius is a notch above.”

Wenqu Star furrowed his brows slightly, intending to say something, but then he glanced at that troublesome Rabbit and the bag beside it, and promptly shut his mouth. Although he was confident in guiding the Rabbit onto the right path, seven days was just too short…

Listening to Gold Star Taibai’s analysis, the Queen Mother thought it made a lot of sense. She then nodded and said, “What the Star Lord says is very true. In that case, we shall assign the Rabbit to Confucius for instruction.

This matter, I’ll have to trouble you to take a trip, Star Lord.”

Star Lord Taibai immediately bowed and said, “Your humble servant obeys the command!”

Yi Zheng sat on the Queen Mother’s lap, glanced at Gold Star Taibai, and then at the Queen Mother of the West, wailing internally, “Damn it, I’ve been sold out right in front of me! Twice in one day! This is too disrespectful!”

But that was merely an internal wail; to resist?

That was not an option.

However, to swallow this insult without a peep was not in Yi Zheng’s nature. His eyes cunningly swiveled, and he immediately laid prostrate on the Queen Mother’s lap, “No matter what, I can be considered a man who has slept in Your Majesty’s lap. I’m proud!”

Then he cast a sinister glance at the distant Jade Emperor, “Am I also the first Rabbit to cuckold the Jade Emperor?”

At the same time, Yi Zheng fondled the Kunlun Mirror in his hand. He knew that if any ordinary person indulged in such wild thoughts here, both the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor would see right through them, let alone him. But with the Kunlun Mirror protecting him, capable of hiding fortunes and blocking all detection, he had no such concerns.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare let his thoughts run wild…

Just as Yi Zheng comforted himself by retracting his thoughts, the Queen Mother said, “Rabbit, go with the Star Lord. I will check your learning progress in a week. If you don’t learn well, for every fruit you have eaten of mine today, you will owe me the same amount. For every drink you have had, you will owe me the same amount!

And if you can’t pay, then you’ll stay and work until you have paid off the debt.

This is something that even the Queen Mother of the West must honor!”

Yi Zheng’s mouth dropped open upon hearing this, his mind racing with countless curses…

He indeed had not learned manners. In fact, on the whole Earth, who had learned the etiquette of the Heavenly Court?

Let alone the etiquette of the Heavenly Court, even studying the ancient ceremonial etiquette of Tianxia was rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!

There were plenty of bootlickers who had learned to be Western gentlemen, so much so that even Yi Zheng could mimic a bit of it, but if he dared to bring a steak that wasn’t properly sliced to the Queen Mother of the West and ask, “Do you prefer it medium rare or medium well?”

She’d probably feel like he was treating her like an animal, right?

She’d likely slap him to death!

Yet just because of this, he had to be thrown to someone for an education, which really irked him.

But might makes right, and since they were powerful, Yi Zheng had no choice but to accept.

The scene shifted, an old man with white whiskers carried a Rabbit on a cloud, departing from Kunlun Mountain and flying off towards a distant part of the Heavenly Court.

All along the way, Yi Zheng did not give Star Lord Taibai a good look, and Star Lord Taibai was not offended, just saying with a happy grin, “Rabbit, you should thank me.”

Yi Zheng rolled his eyes and said, “Thank you so much!”

Star Lord Taibai chuckled, “If not for me, you would now be learning etiquette from the Queen Mother herself.”

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng immediately shuddered, although the Queen Mother seemed amiable, she was formidable! Learning manners from someone else, Yi Zheng could give excuses to slack off, but if it was from the Queen Mother…
