The Rabbit Gentlemen

"So many immortals, and even great immortals!"

Zhang Xuezhou gazed into the distance, while the new emperor stubbornly continued his journey with his Yang Soul until his head was so tense that he could barely hold on any longer, at which point he finally withdrew his Yang Soul.

"That old man is so fierce, he almost caught me!"

After this emphasis was made, the new emperor couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, as the pride he had shown when drawing his sword earlier quickly vanished without a trace.

He had never seen anyone fall like a shooting star and land so lightly.

The simple shout of the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable reverberated through the mountains, a power beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Even without the intervention of the Yuanshi Celestial Lord, the new emperor was well aware of the opponent's extraordinary strength, which far surpassed his own.

If he weren't so inconspicuous among the immortals, and if the other side hadn't been too busy to investigate, the new emperor would have thought he had been discovered.

"It's not just 'almost,' it's 'already discovered'!"

Zhang Xuezhou pursed his lips and transmitted his voice, causing the new emperor to feel extremely uneasy.

"Who are you, and why are you lurking here so late at night?"

A purple light swept across, followed by a brightly lit luminous pearl that illuminated the surrounding area for several feet, clearly revealing the location of Zhang Xuezhou and his companions.

The Yuanshi Celestial Venerable's gaze swept over the two men, whose faces were covered in dust, and he felt that Zhang Xuezhou and the others were too dirty.

He scanned them up and down and could tell that the two were not weak, but they had no connection with the Demon Race.

"Immortals above, we are not accepted by the mortal world. We beg you to take us in!"

Zhang Xuezhou lowered his head and mumbled something.

In the past, he found it difficult to lie to Daojun. However, as his cultivation and spiritual power continued to improve, he was now qualified to speak freely. Although he could not have long conversations, he could reply to a message in a short time without any problem.

Why are you not accepted by the world?

The Yuanshi Celestial Lord glanced at the two men, frowning. He had intended to hand them over to Wang Shan and the others for interrogation about their origins, but Zhang Xuezhou's self-introduction made him stop in his tracks.

If things could be easily understood and judged, there would be no need for Wang Shan and others to interrogate and obtain information.

He stopped and gestured for Zhang Xuezhou to continue.

"The world only allows love between men and women, and has no place for the mutual affection between men like us. All sorts of prejudices make it difficult for us to find a place. Even though we have good cultivation, we are still despised. No one in our Lineage supports our marriage. My husband and I had no choice but to leave the capital. Now, we are fortunate to have met an immortal. We hope that the immortal will guide us to a bright path..."

Zhang Xuezhou slowly began to speak, while Yuanshi Tianzun frowned repeatedly as he listened.

When Zhang Xuezhou took the new emperor's right hand and gazed at him with deep affection, Yuanshi Tianzun felt extremely unlucky to have bumped into a pair of rabbit gods.

Normal people wouldn't venture into a place like Mount Tai at night, but a neurotic, pathological person seeking death is a different matter entirely.

The Yuanshi Celestial Lord originally wanted to slap the two of them to clear their heads, but seeing the mud and grime on their faces, he couldn't be bothered to dirty his hands and let the couple writhe and cry as they pleased.

With a swaying motion, Yuanshi Tianzun had already leaped over the two people.

The gray mist and purple light of the Yellow Springs Pass floated as the figure of Yuanshi Tianzun disappeared into the secret realm of the Taishan Fujun Daoist Temple.

"His aura was so strong, I couldn't even utter a word!"

After Yuanshi Tianzun left, the new emperor exhaled a breath of turbid air and then took a deep breath.

Yuanshi Tianzun did not make a move, but he was like a tiger staring at humans. The new emperor could only remain calm and maintain his body. It would be extremely difficult for him to spout nonsense like Zhang Xuezhou.

Especially when the other party examines his body, the new emperor can feel the uncontrollable goosebumps rising on his skin.

"Your cultivation is extraordinary. If you stare at him, you will inevitably be drawn in by his aura and suffer an impact. Looking down will actually make you feel more comfortable," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I won't lower my head!"

The new emperor murmured, clearly finding it difficult to maintain the same level of composure Zhang Xuezhou, and instead remained ready to retaliate at any moment, his eyes fixed on the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable.

"That's a bit of a shame. I was originally planning to use the excuse of lying to pester him a bit and see if I could get anything out of him!"

Zhang Xuezhou sighed. The new emperor was somewhat taken aback, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou had completely disregarded the danger.

"What's in it for him?" the new emperor whispered. "I also like to get benefits, and I'm willing to bow down!"

"That depends on whether he's willing to order us around," Zhang Xuezhou said.

Let alone a person of such high reputation as Yuanshi Tianzun, even demons like Zhu Jiuyin or the Western Sect who are not so particular, these top-level cultivators will still give some benefits when they ask someone to do their work.

At this point, Zhang Xuezhou would find walking too slow to escape, and using the Sky Shuttle to fly would raise questions about whether he would be tracked down, and the treasure would inevitably reveal their origins.

Compared to the potential risks of leaving, he was more inclined to align himself with Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Seeing that the new emperor had adjusted his state, Zhang Xuezhou took several large steps forward.

"An immortal!"

The eerie atmosphere of the Yellow Springs water, along with thick fog and dust, assaulted his face, and Zhang Xuezhou cried out repeatedly.

"You... you look so disheveled, did you escape from this secret place?"

Although the secret land of Mount Taifujun has not been turned upside down, the dust it stirred up has yet to settle.

When the body of Yuanshi Tianzun appeared, he already had a frightened, yin creature in his hand.

Compared to the mentally deficient and excessively frightened evil spirits, the Rabbit God, yearning for love, seems much better in comparison.

Although he was not happy to see Zhang Xuezhou and the others, Yuanshi Tianzun still appeared again, and tried his best to show a gentle and warm face.

"We went to great lengths to find this secret place to live, thinking we could chat about romance in our spare time and climb Mount Tai to watch the sunrise. Who knew that our good days would end before they even began?" Zhang Xuezhou sighed.

"Did you escape from this secret place?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked again.

"Right!"

The new emperor gave a brief reply, and Yuanshi Tianzun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally found the male role in this perfect couple.

"What did you see and hear at that time?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

"We encountered an earthquake; the ground shook violently, and the Daoist temple we were staying in collapsed before we even had a chance to warm up. We then ran desperately towards the exit, and luckily, we were quite skilled in cultivation, which allowed us to escape!"

That's it!

After Zhang Xuezhou finished his rambling speech, the new emperor simply agreed and cooperated, while Yuanshi Tianzun was greatly disappointed, feeling that the two of them had no idea about the cause of this turmoil.

"Have you seen a dragon?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked again.

"Earth dragon..."

"It's not that kind of dragon!"

No!

The Yuanshi Celestial Venerable interrupted Zhang Xuezhou, and the new emperor added another sentence.

He glanced at Zhang Xuezhou, wondering for a moment how Zhang Xuezhou was trying to gain any advantage.

However, the new emperor soon met with the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable who offered them benefits, mentioning that as long as they saw a dragon in Mount Tai and then went to the Immortal Court to inform them, they would be included in the celestial register and placed under the tutelage of the Mi Luo Palace, where they would also be given an environment of tolerance and respect.

Such a verbal guarantee is hardly a benefit, but Yuanshi Tianzun directly gave him two tokens that allowed passage through the Heavenly Gate.

No secret code or specific date is needed; simply holding the token atop Jade Emperor Peak allows direct access to the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Compared to relying on the carefree third and fourth generation immortals of the Immortal Court to guard and patrol Mount Tai, Zhang Xuezhou and others, who were not tolerated by the secular world, were clearly more in line with the requirements of the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable.
