Reborn, stay calm. This is a tender trap, a big bad wolf being all warm and caring to a little lamb. If you soften, prepare to be devoured.
Warning myself, I looked at the duck egg in my arms. I gathered the ghost qi around it and infused it with immortal qi. Soon the eggshell cracked, and a little yellow duck emerged. Just as I was marveling at how cute it was, it grew larger, eventually returning to that odd duck.
I said with some disgust: “When did you sneak into my sleeve? This is the divine realm. Aren’t you afraid they’ll turn you into braised duck?”
Yaya stretched its neck, its tiny eyes showing no fear, chirping: “Quack.”
Well, I can’t send it to the ghost realm, nor let anyone kill it. So I could only keep it as a pet, giving it some immortal qi daily to let it strut around the divine realm.
And so I became another strange tale in the divine realm.
Because while people keep dogs, cats, even pet pigs, no one has ever heard of someone keeping a duck…
My divine title spread throughout the realm.
Task Master suddenly leaned forward, slipped a jade token to me, and said seriously: “And you.”
I had a dark line on my face, while the other three couldn’t help but laugh. At this moment, my face must have turned pig liver color: “Little Task, aren’t you mistaken? I just recovered from illness!”
Task Master nodded: “No, you’ll all leave together later.”
We both asked: “Why?”
“Because you’re going to the same place, the same house.”
Fine, another bizarre family. I shook my head and turned to play mahjong.
“Rebirth King, what are you doing with mahjong?”
“Playing eighteen rounds, because after this I won’t be able to for seven days…”
A cold eye-knife stabbed from behind, with a crisp voice: “Oh, looks like Rebirth King is quite leisurely. When you return, I’ll find you several more tasks.”
I pushed the mahjong tiles seriously, hooked arms with Time Traveler and declared: “What mahjong? Let it all blow away! This god will definitely complete this mission perfectly, even if I die with my brain splattered!”
“Gah.”
