Chapter 40: Black Rabbit's Natural Enemy

"Honestly, Big Sister really knows how to find work for me."

A young girl with beautiful black hair tied up, wearing an elegantly crafted outfit that was daringly open from her shoulders to her back, looking from afar just like wings.

Her appearance was slightly childish, yet still extraordinarily beautiful.

The childish face and the daring attire, the innate nobility and the hidden allure gave people a strong sense of incongruity.

At this moment, the girl was also somewhat helpless; she was still on vacation.

"Alright, little Jialing, after all, I have already promised someone."

Sun Wukong said while comforting Jialing, with a hint of apology in his tone.

If he hadn't been unable to resist giving Shiroyasha a few whacks, he certainly wouldn't have needed to call Jialing over.

But at that time, Shiroyasha was truly too asking for a beating; she couldn't help herself.

As expected, her cultivation is still not up to par.

"Sigh, since it's Big Sister's request, then I'll go over once. Let's get this straight: if he can't learn it, then that's none of my business."

Jialing said huffily; after all, it was her Big Sister's commission, so she wouldn't just ignore it.

But this didn't mean she couldn't test the mettle of this "Savior" first.

A cunning smile flashed in the depths of Jialing's eyes; she seemed to have already thought of how to test his mettle.

"Then Big Sister, I'll be going first, to go see my student."

The next moment, a ball of golden flames ignited, and Jialing's figure had already vanished.

Only Sun Wukong was left, smiling broadly.

"Honestly, little Jialing's temper is still so impatient; I haven't even told you the information about Su Nian yet."

Sun Wukong seemed to have already envisioned the scene of Jialing, after being thwarted, reluctantly acting as Su Nian's teacher.

On the other side, at the No Name base.

Black Rabbit stood at the entrance, looking around somewhat anxiously.

"Honestly, it's almost afternoon, why hasn't Master Su Nian returned yet?"

"Could it be that Lady Leticia wasn't brought back?"

Black Rabbit couldn't help but think pessimistically; after all, right? Lady Leticia could definitely be sold for a high price.

What if the value of that Sovereignty isn't enough?

Black Rabbit didn't understand the value of a true Sovereignty, or rather, Canary had never taught her those things at all.

Just as Black Rabbit was letting her imagination run wild and pacing back and forth anxiously.

A pair of large hands suddenly pinched Black Rabbit's ears.

"Tell me, Black Rabbit, what are you thinking about? You look like you're about to cry."

Su Nian's voice, carrying a few traces of playfulness and laughter, reached Black Rabbit's ears.

"Ah, honestly, can Master Su Nian let go of my ears?"

Black Rabbit replied crossly; Su Nian was good at everything, but the only thing was that he had an extraordinary curiosity about her ears.

He would ambush them whenever he had the chance.

"Alright, let go of Black Rabbit."

Leticia, who had already changed into a blue and white maid outfit on the side, looked at Su Nian, who was messing around with Black Rabbit, and said with a bit of a headache.

Her master was good at everything, it was just that his personality was a bit too flighty.

And when Black Rabbit heard Leticia's voice, she instantly became excited.

"Lady Leticia!"

Su Nian then let go of his hands, letting Black Rabbit pounce on Leticia.

She hugged Leticia, who was maintaining her small stature, into her arms.

"Lady Leticia, are you alright?"

"Thanks to Master, I have returned safely."

Leticia said calmly, though Su Nian could tell that the corners of Leticia's mouth still couldn't help but curl into a smile.

It seemed that being able to see Black Rabbit again made her very happy too.

Although it had only been less than a day, it felt like a lifetime ago.

"Master?"

Black Rabbit blinked in confusion, then looked at Su Nian standing to the side.

"What's wrong? I bought her with money, so naturally, Leticia is my person."

"It's nothing, as long as Lady Leticia is back."

Black Rabbit said with a grin, then put Leticia down.

Just as Black Rabbit and Leticia were communicating, suddenly a scorching feeling rushed toward them.

Su Nian, Leticia, and Black Rabbit all subconsciously took a few steps back.

Golden flames suddenly erupted in the air, and within the firelight, a petite figure emerged.

However, before the newcomer could make a move, Black Rabbit was already so scared that she hid behind Su Nian and Leticia.

"That golden scorching flame, and that appearance, that must be the highest-ranking divine bird, the Golden-Winged Great Peng!"

"It definitely is, right!"

"Don't eat me! Black Rabbit doesn't taste good at all!"

Listening to Black Rabbit's spineless words, the three people present couldn't help but have a few black lines appear on their faces.

Canary, you've done all the bad things!

Look at how scared Black Rabbit is.

"Indra's pet? I wouldn't go so far as to eat a sentient creature."

Jialing complained inwardly about Canary while explaining.

Although she really didn't get along well with the Moon Rabbit clan, it hadn't reached the point of eating their flesh and drinking their blood, right?

"Is that so?"

Black Rabbit also breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that it wasn't like what Canary said: "Moon Rabbits who don't sleep well will be caught and eaten by the Peng Demon King."

Black Rabbit cautiously poked her head out from behind Su Nian and took a look at Jialing.

"As expected, she's still so scary to Black Rabbit!"

Black Rabbit was scared back behind Su Nian again, though this time it wasn't because of anything Canary said.

It was simply encountering a natural predator; Black Rabbit was of the Moon Rabbit clan, while Jialing was of the Golden-Winged Great Peng clan.

When a timid rabbit meets a Great Peng, of course she would be afraid; that is a natural predator, after all.

Just looking at Black Rabbit's weak appearance, Jialing couldn't help but mock her.

"As expected, Indra's pet is all show and no substance."

"Pet or whatever, who is Emperor Indra's pet?"

Black Rabbit said, somewhat annoyed.

Hearing Black Rabbit's words, Jialing raised her eyebrows in some surprise instead.

"Eh? You didn't refute the 'pet' part, but rather the 'Indra's pet' part? You rabbit are truly interesting."

At this moment, Su Nian also said very happily.

"Could it be, Black Rabbit, that you've agreed to be my pet?"

"That's enough from you all!"

Black Rabbit cried out in embarrassment and anger; how could even Lord Su Nian join outsiders in bullying her?

Seeing that Black Rabbit was truly getting a bit anxious, Su Nian stopped in time and turned his head to look at the young girl before him.

The Laplace Lens he was wearing also provided him with information about the girl before him.

"I wonder what business the Peng Demon King has with us?"

Yes, the young girl before them was the Heaven-Mixing Great Sage—Peng Demon King, one of the Seven Great Sages who once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace alongside Sun Wukong.
