Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 334: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with a Baby in Her Womb 44
When Feng Qing said this, his eyes were fixed on him, as if he had to get an answer.
Changqi’s throat moved as he averted his gaze, "Why do you say that?"

"Cousin, although we haven’t spent much time together and most of the time, I don’t understand you, this time, your emotional changes have been too great. It’s not just me, I’m afraid others have also noticed," Feng Qing gave a bitter smile, spreading his hands and looking off into the distance, "I never imagined that even a god could be moved."
"Moved, what exactly is that like?"
Rarely, Changqi’s eyes showed confusion. At this moment, he was no longer the high and mighty God, nor the omniscient and omnipotent deity, but a puzzled ordinary person. After asking this question, he looked toward Feng Qing, "Do you know?"
Feng Qing’s brow furrowed deeply, and after a long moment, he only sighed, "Cousin, I don’t know either."
The two talked as they walked on the main street of the Rabbit Clan.
"She had planned it all along, she had been thinking of leaving," Changqi said and then fell silent.
The atmosphere became frozen for a moment.
Before, Changqi would get jealous over Su Zhiruan getting close to Feng Qing, and Feng Qing also tried every means to get Su Zhiruan from Changqi Palace.
But they both neglected Su Zhiruan’s true thoughts and never imagined that what she always wanted was to leave, to take her child and escape from their sight, to vanish from their world forever, to the point that not even gods could find her.
The Clan Leader of the Rabbit Clan trembled with fear, wanting to follow behind them, while the Clan Leader’s daughter was very enthusiastic, wishing she could be by their side at all times. If either Feng Qing or Changqi took a fancy to her, she would be raised to the heavens in one step, becoming a phoenix and rising to the top of the tree. Just thinking about this possibility made the Clan Leader’s daughter smile so widely that she could not close her mouth.
"Noble Sirs, Young Master Feng Qing, why don’t I show you around? You can go wherever you want to see. Since you are in the Rabbit Clan’s territory, let me extend the hospitality due a host," the Clan Leader’s daughter said in a coquettish and soft voice, which was even softer than usual. She twisted her waist continuously, trying to attract their attention.
"No need," Changqi said, unwilling to even give her a glance, and after a flick of his sleeve, he strode away.
The Clan Leader’s daughter’s eyes instantly filled with tears, and seeing Changqi’s merciless departure, she could only turn her pleaful gaze to Feng Qing.
Feng Qing had always been questioning his sexual orientation. He doubted he liked men when he liked Su Zhiruan, but after learning Su Zhiruan was a woman, he felt he liked women. Yet, in the end, he came to no reasonable conclusion.
But today, upon seeing the Clan Leader’s daughter deliberately trying to seduce him, he felt deeply disgusted from the bottom of his heart and even a bit nauseated. He utterly detested her approach.
"Since cousin has asked you not to follow, then don’t follow."
After leaving those words, Feng Qing hurriedly caught up with Changqi, leaving the embarrassed Clan Leader’s daughter to wipe away her tears on the main street.
Usually, she and her group of friends bullied men and women alike, committing all kinds of misdeeds. Many Rabbit Demons were extremely disgusted with her, and now, seeing her lose face on the main street, they felt instant gratification.
Changqi asked a passerby and found out the address of the Su Family.
"You said Su Zhiruan, right? Her house is in the farthest corner of the western district, oh my, it’s been so many years without anyone, it must have gone to waste," said a passerby, eagerly pointing out the way. As he spoke, he couldn’t help expressing his feelings, "If her parents were still around, that girl wouldn’t have been bullied like that!"
"May I ask what exactly happened?" Feng Qing caught up and overheard the latter part of the conversation. He quickly pressed for details, "That girl is Su Zhiruan, isn’t she?"
The passerby, seeing someone interested in his story, got even more excited. He put down a basket of cabbages and carrots, and began to relate with fervor and sentiment, "The Su Family originally belonged to the nobility of the Rabbit Clan; not exactly from a very illustrious lineage, but certainly much better off than us regular folk. Who could have imagined that one day, Su Zhiruan’s parents would pass away, leaving her alone? She was still very young, unable to manage the family’s estates, and was bullied by that old thing, the Clan Leader."
Changqi’s brow furrowed deeply, and the temperature around him dropped sharply. The clueless passerby hugged his own arms, wondering why the weather had changed so swiftly.
"Who else bullied her?" Changqi’s voice was cold and indifferent, yet carried an irrefutable tone.
The passerby disdainfully pointed towards the Clan Leader’s palace, "That whole family bullied her. The Clan Leader really has no shame; I don’t know how the previous Clan Leader could have chosen such a blockhead. Later, under the guise of caring for the orphaned girl, the Clan Leader took Su Zhiruan to the Imperial Palace. There she was bullied for over a decade by his foolish daughter and others. When the Demon Clan was selecting nobles from various clans to serve in the Divine World and the Immortal World, the Clan Leader didn’t want his own daughter to go, so he pushed Su Zhiruan to take the place."
"Alas, she was born at an inopportune time. She finally reincarnated into a wealthy family, only for her parents to die early. She’s been bullied from a young age till adulthood, and would have been better off reincarnating into a common family like ours."
"So, she didn’t actually choose to go to the Divine World on her own; she had no choice but was forced to go?" Changqi felt a sinking feeling in his chest.
"What’s wrong with being selected? It’s an opportunity to go to the Divine World, the Immortal World," remarked Feng Qing, who was responsible for this matter, somewhat confused.
The passerby scoffed, "What’s so good about that? Perhaps it’s better for the Tiger Clan and the Wolf Clan, but for the Rabbit Clan, isn’t that equivalent to a disaster? Even in their own territory, they can’t guarantee they won’t be secretly eaten. Being selected means willingly walking into their lair to be snacks. Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t go."
Feng Qing suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.
Meanwhile, Changqi was completely stunned.
Suddenly, he remembered what Su Zhiruan, Feng Qing, and the old butler had told him before—that it was because she admired him that she wanted to work in Changqi Palace.
But if what the passerby said was true, then from the very beginning, her arrival in the Divine World, her stay in Changqi Palace, and her presence by his side, were all due to coercion, all beyond her control.
Su Zhiruan had been clear-headed from the start.
Like humans, he was the only one who had gradually developed mortal desires.
She never intended to stay by his side for long; perhaps, from the moment she spoke her first words, she was already planning her departure.
Changqi’s heart grew heavier and heavier until, in the end, he felt it had sunk to the very bottom, plummeting into the abyss, never to rise again.
After the passerby left, both Changqi and Feng Qing fell silent.
As they pushed open the door to Su Zhiruan’s home, the old door creaked, and a shower of dust fell from the door in an instant, revealing the scene inside to them.
The place wasn’t big, but it was brimming with the essence of life.
