Seeing Mu Shiyue pacify that terrifying snake, the little mouse immediately became happy.
—That snake was the one that had caught it earlier!
Thinking of this, it glanced again at the Black Abyss Falcon circling in the sky and clutched Mu Shiyue's finger tightly, unwilling to let go.
This world is far too terrifying!
It hadn't been this dangerous in the forest, at least there were green trees and grass everywhere, making it easy to hide.
Who would've thought that after running outside, it would become even more dangerous!
There are so many frightening huge creatures here!
Mu Shiyue patted its little head and soothed it, "It's fine now, it's fine."
"Chi chi chi…"
The little thing clung to Mu Shiyue's finger, squeaking nonstop, sounding extremely aggrieved.
Seeing the Treasure-Seeking Mouse's change in attitude, Ke Chongbo no longer had the energy to be angry.
Well, of course since this is Mu Shiyue, Sect Master Mu!
Every spirit beast that met Sect Master Mu placed complete trust in her.
This speed is truly something to envy.
"Ying!"
Mu Shiyue suddenly felt her leg get heavier, Little Sesame had hugged her calf.
"Ao-woo~"
Little Tiger Baby hugged her other leg.
Xiao Qing seized the moment when Chu Jingzhuo wasn't paying attention and flew straight onto Mu Shiyue's head.
Ah Lang was large in size and lowered its head to rub against Mu Shiyue, wanting her to ride on its back.
In just a moment, Mu Shiyue was covered in cubs.
Ke Chongbo: "..."
Chu Jingzhuo: "..."
They really wanted to have such a sweet burden too!
Mu Shiyue could only reach out and stroke the little cubs one by one, "Alright, alright, go play by yourselves."
But clearly, the cubs had no intention of leaving.
With no other choice, Mu Shiyue directly took out a chair from her storage pouch and sat down, beginning the daily required session of cuddling, hugging, and petting.
Ke Chongbo and Chu Jingzhuo: "..."
Seeing the lounge chair she took out, the two of them couldn't help falling silent.
This was experience accumulated to a certain extent, she even had a lounge chair prepared.
Which was indeed the case.
Mu Shiyue was surrounded by these cubs every day, anytime and anywhere.
So she had asked Jiang Yunnuan to make her a lounge chair, making it convenient for her to sit down at any time.
Lying on the lounge chair and petting the little fluffballs was extremely comfortable.
The cubs were lulled into drowsiness by Mu Shiyue's superb techniques. In no time at all, a whole pile of little cubs fell asleep around her.
Even the Treasure-Seeking Mouse sprawled out on her stomach, limbs spread, like a little turtle, sleeping extremely soundly.
Chu Jingzhuo and Ke Chongbo exchanged a glance and couldn't help sighing.
Who wouldn't possibly envy this?!
They had already gone from envy at the beginning to numbness now.
How could they not be numb?
If they got jealous every single time, they'd never have a moment of peace.
"Hm? What is this?"
Qin Yiwei came over from next door. Seeing the little fluffballs all over the ground, a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
Then she noticed the small golden creature on Mu Shiyue's stomach.
"This is… what kind of spirit beast?"
Qin Yiwei was a bit confused.
This little thing looked round and fluffy, but it's too small, she couldn't tell what kind of spirit beast it was at a glance.
"This is a Treasure-Seeking Mouse!" Ke Chongbo immediately said.
"A Treasure-Seeking Mouse...a Treasure-Seeking Mouse?!" Qin Yiwei sucked in a sharp breath, instantly shocked.
Of course she had heard of Treasure-Seeking Mice.
In her previous life, she had heard of someone who had a Treasure-Seeking Mouse and thus obtained many treasures.
Relying on those treasures and opportunities, that person advanced extremely quickly!
Who wouldn't want a Treasure-Seeking Mouse?
With a Treasure-Seeking Mouse, the chances of finding heavenly materials and earthly treasures increased dramatically!
With enough heavenly materials and earthly treasures, why worry about cultivation not improving?
However, Treasure-Seeking Mice were extremely rare.
Their numbers were already small, and with how well they hid themselves, they were even harder to find.
Moreover, it's said that Treasure-Seeking Mice were also excellent supplements for spirit beasts.
Thus, they were "public enemies".
In any case, Qin Yiwei had never thought she would encounter a Treasure-Seeking Mouse.
But now, there's actually one here!
Qin Yiwei was completely dumbfounded.
"Mm, Xiao Qing and the others caught it," Chu Jingzhuo nodded. "It originally wanted to escape. We chased it here, and then it ran onto Master."
Looking at the little fluffball sleeping soundly on their master's stomach, Qin Yiwei, although already used to her master's "bee- and butterfly-attracting" physique, still couldn't help being stunned.
This is a Treasure-Seeking Mouse!
Feeling several burning gazes and the pressure of powerful spirit beasts around it, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse merely twitched its little ears and continued sleeping.
Because of its special physique and abilities, it had been targeted by a group of people.
That group was also formidable, carrying many special magic treasures and chasing it relentlessly with those treasures.
Because it was being hunted, it ran into the territory of a group of monkeys and incidentally stole the wine the monkeys had brewed.
Then it got drunk, which was why it had been caught by Xiao Qing.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easily caught.
During this period of time, it had been hiding nonstop, never daring to rest properly, it was exhausted.
But once it ran onto Mu Shiyue's body and felt the peaceful aura emanating from her, all of its anxiety disappeared.
Sleep! Sleep properly!
When the Treasure-Seeking Mouse finally woke up and opened its eyes, it met several pairs of large eyes staring at it, scaring it so badly that its fur stood on end.
It was already fluffy to begin with, once its fur puffed up, it became even rounder.
"Ao~"
Little Tiger Baby curiously looked at the little furball, wanting to reach out a paw to touch it, not understanding how it could sleep for so long.
Although spirit beasts could increase their cultivation just by eating, drinking, and sleeping, very few spirit beasts actually slept that long.
Yet this little thing had slept for three days!
Not only were the cubs curious, even Qin Yiwei and the others were extremely curious.
Seeing that it hadn't woken up for so long, everyone couldn't help worrying.
If its little chest hadn't still been rising and falling, they would've thought it had no breath left.
Moreover, the moment it left Mu Shiyue, it would immediately wake up.
But once it was placed back on Mu Shiyue, it would fall asleep instantly.
With such a stark difference, everyone felt very conflicted.
In the end, Mu Shiyue tucked it into her pocket and carried it around.
It's so small anyway, it didn't affect her movement at all.
After sleeping until now, it had finally woken up.
"Ying~"
Little Sesame braced itself against the table and stood up, tilting its head as it looked at the Treasure-Seeking Mouse, its big eyes full of curiosity.
It's really too small!
"If you keep sleeping, you might not even know where you get thrown," Ke Chongbo said spitefully.
"Chi chi chi…"
The little mouse immediately looked around everywhere, searching for Mu Shiyue's figure.
Fortunately, Mu Shiyue was sitting right beside it, she had just placed it on the table to bask in the sun.
The little mouse immediately sprinted wildly across the table, took a running start, and pounced over.
"Chi chi chi…"
Mu Shiyue quickly reached out and caught it, preventing it from falling and becoming a flattened mouse pancake.
"Chi chi chi—"
Once the little mouse was back in Mu Shiyue's arms, it finally let out a sigh of relief.
Then it immediately began squeaking, chi chi chi nonstop.
Mu Shiyue also responded with soft "mm-hm" and "ah-ah" sounds.
Then, suddenly, the little mouse jumped down from her hand, slapped the ground boldly with its tiny paw.
In the next instant, a huge water vat appeared in front of everyone.
The sweet fragrance of wine drifting through the air left everyone staring in shock!
