c1837: 1878: Another Encounter with the Little Wild Rabbit

As soon as the words were spoken, the sky noticeably darkened a bit.

It was the impending wrath of the heavens.

Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment and, seeing the worried look in Xu Youran’s eyes, handed her the mirror.

"Don’t speak aloud about any future you see; just keep the answer in your heart."

Xu Youran nodded and took a look into the mirror. Soon, visions of the future flashed through her mind.

Her expression shifted several times.

There was shock, disbelief, relief, and some reluctance.

When the last wisp of Dao resonance faded from the ancient realm, she put down the Ancient Mirror.

Yue Mingzhu asked, "Did you see the murderer?"

Xu Youran’s expression returned to calm, and she shook her head gently, "No, I didn’t."

Yue Mingzhu wanted to ask more, but Jiang Fan stopped her, "Don’t ask anymore."

"Youran, with the scenes you’ve seen from the future, plan well for yourself. You don’t have to worry about me; I’ll find a way."

Xu Youran nodded, but the arm wrapped around Jiang Fan’s was noticeably tighter.

Clearly, she had seen something.

Yue Mingzhu pouted, "Might as well let Yun Shang take a look."

As she was muttering, suddenly a flash of yellow light appeared before them.

A blob of pale yellow substance, seeming to be chased by something, haphazardly crashed into Yue Mingzhu’s stomach.

"Ow!" Yue Mingzhu exclaimed in pain.

She focused her gaze.

The blob of light, after bouncing off Yue Mingzhu’s stomach, rolled on the ground a few times and revealed its form.

It was a small yellow rabbit.

Its mouth was still clutching a black leaf, munching away even after its tumble.

Huh?

Jiang Fan recognized it immediately; wasn’t this the little wild rabbit by the Abyss, the one Yue Mingzhu almost sprained her ankle on?

How did it get here?

For a split second, Jiang Fan thought he might have been mistaken.

Yue Mingzhu was also stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, running over and stepping on it.

The little wild rabbit, caught off guard, immediately struggled with its limbs, trying to run away.

Yue Mingzhu bent down, grabbed it, and gave it two swift slaps, laughing angrily,

"Damn rabbit, do you have a grudge against me or what?"

"Not only did you almost sprain my ankle, but then you come and crash into my stomach!"

"It’s a good thing I don’t have a baby in my belly yet, otherwise I’d cook you with ginger, mud, and cumin spice!"

The slapped little wild rabbit kicked hard, its eyes showing a pitiful look.

Jiang Fan moved closer, curiously examining the little wild rabbit:

"What exactly is this thing?"

"It looks like a creature, but it lacks the life force that creatures should have. It’s somewhat like Mingzhu’s big white rabbit."

"But it seems even stranger than the big white rabbit."

Is that so?

Without a word, Yue Mingzhu took out a bag: "Ha, ha, if I can’t fit the little gold tortoise, surely I can fit you?"

She immediately tossed it into the bag and handed it to Jiang Fan.

"Here, you hold it."

Jiang Fan was surprised, "This is your fortune, why give it to me?"

The little wild rabbit landing in Yue Mingzhu’s hands twice was an opportunity as obvious as it gets.

Yue Mingzhu shook her head, "My fortune isn’t here; it’s in..."

As the sky suddenly darkened, Yue Mingzhu stuck out her pink little tongue and quickly withdrew what she was about to say.

"Anyway, it’s yours, I don’t need it."

Jiang Fan thought for a moment and said, "Alright..."

Just as he was about to put it away.

The little wild rabbit suddenly started struggling violently inside the bag, leaving raised imprints as it struck against it.

It seemed to be very frightened.
