Chen Xu never imagined that upon returning ho, the first thing he would see was such a scene.
In the night, Chen Ping and Lady ng, like a pair of star-crossed lovers, poured out their hearts to each other across the low gate of the fence.
Amidst their reluctant affection, the two gradually ca to a decision.
"Chen Lang, co out with . If we beco true husband and wife, father and mother will see my resolve and should soften their hearts a bit, and approve of us," Lady ng said.
"This..." Chen Ping was shocked and blurted out, "How could we do such a thing?"
Tears filled Lady ng’s eyes instantly. Her whole body trembled slightly, and she spoke with a heartbroken voice:
"Chen Lang, do you despise ?"
Those few short words truly shattered the heart into pieces.
How could Chen Ping stand that?
He gritted his teeth imdiately: "How, how could I?"
However, Lady ng didn’t believe and said: "But I see you do despise , otherwise why won’t you co out? Why won’t you beco true..."
"Lady ng!" Chen Ping shouted to stop her, his voice full of uncontrollable anxiety and an indescribable determination.
He finally made up his mind and said: "Lady ng, I will not leave you!"
As he spoke, he pulled the gate of the fence abruptly, hearing a creaking sound.
The seemingly simple gate, which had kept the two separated, was finally opened.
In the corner, two little demons were extrely anxious.
"Not good, Brother Chen from the Chen Family is about to leave with this spirit. Once out of the protection of this house, Brother Chen, a re mortal, might be drained by this spirit."
Wei Yuan said, "How about I use the earth escape technique to snatch Brother Chen away?"
Little Mouse Ah Shi gritted his teeth and said: "That won’t work, if we use magic, this spirit will retaliate.
We are no match for this spirit... I, I’ll do it. I’m a mouse, if I make a sound, Brother Chen is sure to co and catch !"
Having said that, it opened its mouth to call out.
The conversation between the two little demons was in a barely discernible beast language.
Like the chirping and rustling of insects in the countryside at night, blending with nature.
They were quite familiar with each other, so they could understand what the other was saying.
Chen Xu could also automatically understand the beast language of spiritual creatures, so he also understood the aning of the two little buddies’ conversation.
As for "others," like Brother Chen from the Chen Family, Chen Ping, or the spirit Lady ng, they would subconsciously overlook the existence of the two little demons.
At this mont, Little Mouse took a deep breath and was about to shout.
Right then, a gentle "shh" sounded in Little Mouse’s ear.
This sudden "shh" was supposed to be extrely startling, and upon hearing it, Little Mouse jumped imdiately.
It shouted at the sa ti: "Squeak—ah, scholar..."
The last two words, "scholar," were uttered by Little Mouse in a crisp voice, and at that mont, it had an inexplicable, heart-stirring, overwhelming feeling.
Under the starlight, Little Mouse leapt up.
Its small mouse body was caught in a pair of slender palms.
Man and mouse locked eyes, familiar face, familiar aura, a reunion with an old friend as if it were another lifeti.
Little Mouse was at a loss, as if in a dream.
It could hardly believe that the Chen Xu it had sought in vain had appeared at this mont.
"Am I, am I just drunk again? I actually see the scholar coming back..."
It was in a daze and lifted its paw to nibble on its mouth.
Chen Xu, quick-eyed and deft, flicked a finger, sending a crispy purple spiritual bead shooting into Little Mouse’s mouth.
Crunch!
Little Mouse bit into the purple spiritual bead, and the fragrant and sweet aroma of popped rice burst in its mouth.
As it crunched and finished eating the purple spiritual bead, it felt a warm spiritual energy circulating within its body, making it feel imnsely comfortable.
Little Mouse’s eyes shone brightly, and it no longer doubted.
"Scholar!"
It cried out joyfully, suddenly leaping from Chen Xu’s hand and landing on his shoulder, snuggling up close to Chen Xu’s cheek.
"It’s really you! You’re finally back, why did you suddenly disappear? I almost thought you were overwheld by the south-to-north water diversion.
If it weren’t for Master Jiu saying you were safe, I, I..."
As it spoke, Little Mouse’s voice choked up.
Big bright tears rolled from its round eyes, falling onto Chen Xu’s shoulder, with spiritual energy overflowing.
It turned out these tears were quite extraordinary!
Originally feeling sad with Little Mouse’s crying, Chen Xu was surprised by the attributes of Little Mouse’s tears:
[Golden Spirit Jade Liquid, tears of a magical creature with special bloodline, infused with longing and sincerity.
If consud, it can extend a mortal’s life by 60 years, and for cultivators, it can enhance spiritual aptitude.
If used as a base, mixed with moonlight, and brewed into spiritual tea using special techniques, it can beco the Golden Jade Liquid Drink.
For magical creatures, there is a certain chance it can purify the bloodline, develop aptitude, and increase cultivation.]
A fine Golden Jade Liquid Drink indeed!
Little Mouse’s tears not only had attributes, their effects were extraordinary, truly a superior spiritual object.
Chen Xu had once drunk Golden Spirit Jade Liquid Tea infused with Little Mouse’s spirit blood, awakening the Netherworld’s Unbreakable Divine Power.
From this, one could see how remarkable Little Mouse’s bloodline was.
Now Little Mouse was crying again, demonstrating wondrous abilities.
Chen Xu did not dare to waste ti, imdiately taking out a jade bottle, using the Spirit Manipulation Technique to let it float in the air.
At the sa ti, he made a hand gesture to activate the Water Control Technique, guiding all of Little Mouse’s tears into the jade bottle.
Even the drop that had fallen on his shoulder, he drew out using the Water Control Technique, and stored it in a separate jade bottle.
This was thanks to Chen Xu’s clothing having so properties of a Magical Robe, resistant to water and fire.
Thus, Little Mouse’s tear did not seep into his clothing fabric.
Little Mouse: "..."
Unknowingly, Little Mouse’s crying had stopped, its mouth agape, watching Chen Xu’s actions, its whole body a bit dazed.
No, no.
Though it was great to be reunited after such a long ti, the scholar’s actions seed a bit excessive, too dramatic, a tad unbelievable?
Ah Shi’s mouse body stiffened, its tiny mouse legs unconsciously shifting to the outside of Chen Xu’s shoulder.
After a few steps, it looked down suddenly.
In an instant, it locked eyes with Wei Yuan still on the ground.
Wei Yuan had grown to nearly a foot and three inches tall, a rather big hedgehog now.
At this mont, as the two creatures locked eyes, Little Mouse inexplicably felt guilty, suddenly crouching on the outside of Chen Xu’s shoulder, retracting its neck.
Chen Xu, after collecting the jade bottle with Little Mouse’s tears, suddenly felt the atmosphere a bit off.
He could not help but cough lightly, explaining: "Ah Shi’s tears have so effect, they can aid your cultivation."
Exactly, if Little Mouse’s tears did not also have the ability to enhance the bloodline of magical creatures, Chen Xu would not have acted in such an apparently improper manner.
He intended to bring the two creatures along to the Xuantian Star Realm, naturally hoping to help them rapidly improve their strength.
The Golden Jade Liquid Drink, truly a great thing, must not be missed.
As for the other two effects of Little Mouse’s tears, whether prolonging mortal life or enhancing a cultivator’s spiritual aptitude, Chen Xu was not overly concerned.
Nevertheless, Chen Xu did not want to explain the matter of Little Mouse’s tears too clearly.
It was a subconscious caution.
Even to Little Mouse itself, seeing its oblivion, Chen Xu was disinclined to spell it out.
However, Wei Yuan was quite smart and had already sensed sothing at this mont.
Chen Xu bent down, extending his hand again in front of Wei Yuan, smiling, "Brother Wei, Ah Yuan, long ti no see.
Sorry for disappearing for over ten days without notifying you.
I know it worried you."
His voice, lower and gentler than ever, even hinted towards warmth.
Wei Yuan, head raised, had remained silent.
Now, it suddenly lowered its head slightly, leaping onto Chen Xu’s palm.
"Brother Chen," Wei Yuan said, "Brother Chen from the Chen Family and that spirit have gone, we should quickly pursue."
