Transmigrated into a Treasure-Seeking Mouse, I Was Doted On by Villains

As a lazy worker who lacked ambition, Shu Shu never expected to die while casually watching a show and transmigrate into the spirit beast of the female lead in a fantasy novel she had just finished...

Chapter 24 Eating Grilled Silver Fish

Shushu slept for three days and three nights, and was woken up by hunger on the afternoon of the fourth day.

Speaking of which, as a divine beast treasure-hunting rat, Shushu doesn't need to eat every day like humans, but she will still get hungry if she doesn't eat for a long time, just like Shushu is now, after all, she hasn't reached the level of abstaining from grains yet.

"woke up?"

Shushu rubbed his rumbling stomach, and before he even opened his eyes, he had already pulled a spirit fruit out of his spatial storage.

Just as he was about to put it in his mouth with his eyes closed, he heard his senior brother's gentle voice.

"Yes, good morning, senior brother."

The millet-shaped spirit fruit paused its claws, opened its eyes, and quickly and accurately located Lu Li's position. It casually waved its furry claws at him as if to say hello.

"The sun will be setting in two hours. Are you sure you still prefer the morning?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Li burst out laughing after hearing her words.

"Is it going to set? I've been sleeping all day!"

Upon hearing this, Shushu's sleepiness vanished instantly. She had slept all day; how much could she sleep? She didn't remember ever sleeping this much before. Could it be that she had overexerted herself yesterday?

"No, to be precise, you slept for three days and two nights."

Seeing the incredulous look on her face, Lu Li wasn't worried about discouraging her and told her the truth directly.

"Do you think I can sleep that much?!"

Now, Shushu was truly surprised. Three days and two nights, if a fight requires three days and two nights of sleep, does that mean he can no longer easily fight with others in the future?

But she clearly remembered that when she was found by Liu Yu after running away, she only slept for a day before recovering. Why is it taking so long this time?

"This is your first real-world experience. You'll get better after this."

Seeing her listless and dejected appearance, Lu Li thought she was really frightened, so he stopped teasing her and quickly comforted her.

"Really?" the potato asked back.

"Of course, don't worry. You'll get used to it and it will be much better. Besides, those firefly rabbits are all cubs. Although they are much stronger than you now, they are still very good opponents. Fighting them a few more times will be a good thing for you."

Finally, worried that Shushu might be really upset, Lu Li patiently explained things to her.

From that day on, Shushu began running between the main peak and the moon peak.

Almost every three to five days, Shushu would have Boss Xian send her to Moon Peak to fight with her friends.

After a while, Shushu and Boss Xian became quite familiar with each other.

It was only then that Shushu learned that when Lu Li first summoned the crane for her, the Boss Immortal had used a trick to trap all the other cranes, thus securing the job as a mount.

Shushu still remembers how smug the Immortal Boss sounded when he talked about it. Shushu wanted to record it with a recording stone and show it to the other cranes so they could beat him up.

Of course, Shushu not only became familiar with Boss Xian, but also with the group of firefly brats from Moon Peak. They often got together to run around the Moon Flowing Sect.

Sure enough, today they set their sights on the silverfish raised in the lake at the summit of Beast Peak. They've heard that they're incredibly delicious when grilled, and that the food is raised there by the dining hall.

Most importantly, these silverfish have no bones except for the main bone. As soon as Shushu heard this, he was intrigued and eagerly expressed his desire to eat them.

Everyone was already somewhat interested, and with her encouragement, they were practically drooling with anticipation. So, their activity for the day was decided.

However, Beast Peak is some distance from Moon Peak. Apart from the Immortal Elder who can fly, among the Firefly Rabbits, only Rabbit and Rabbit One can use wind spirit power to fly.

Finally, after discussing it, the beasts decided that the Immortal Boss would help shake the cranes. He summoned a large flock of cranes, and they carried everyone in a great hurry towards the lake at the top of Beast Peak.

Soon, a large group of animals arrived at the lake, eager to catch fish.

The silverfish in the lake noticed a lot more activity on the shore. Instead of being scared, they arrogantly leaped onto the surface and sprayed water at them.

Caught completely off guard, Shushu was sprayed with water and got soaked, which made her so angry that she almost jumped into the lake to fight the silverfish.

Of course, jumping into the lake is definitely out of the question. After all, this isn't a normal lake; it's a cold-water lake with extremely low temperatures, and Shushu's small body certainly wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Sweet Potato was very protective of her life, and after being persuaded by the other beasts, she quickly gave up the decision. However, she did remember the fish that had spat at her.

Finally, at her strong suggestion, everyone worked together to catch all the fish.

After the fish were caught and brought ashore, the cranes and firefly rabbits quickly split into two groups.

One group of rabbits and cranes were responsible for killing the fish, scaling and gutting it, cleaning it thoroughly, and skewering it onto tree branches. The other group worked very quickly to get tree branches and start a fire.

Shushu stared in disbelief as everyone grilled the fish in no time. Judging from their skill and demeanor, it would take at least ten tries to achieve such a high level of teamwork.

Seeing that everyone had started grilling their fish, Shushu felt embarrassed to eat for free and wanted to take charge of grilling the fish, but Tutu pushed her aside and sat her down, not giving her a chance to help at all.

Even the other firefly rabbits and cranes, seeing this, said to let the glutinous rice ball rest aside, saying that they were fine with the rice ball around.

Sitting with her were three other small firefly rabbits and two little cranes.

According to the other firefly rabbits and cranes, the smallest one doesn't need to lift a finger; it only needs to eat and play.

So, Shushu, along with three firefly rabbits and two little cranes, squatted in a row, watching a group of slightly larger firefly rabbits and cranes grill fish.

At this moment, Shushu felt that the world was very wonderful. After all, who could have imagined that one day he would become a treasure-hunting mouse, with cranes and firefly rabbits helping him to grill fish for him to eat?

Fortunately, Shushu's strange mood didn't last long, because the aroma of grilled fish began to spread.

The aroma in the air made the sweet potato's mouth water uncontrollably: it smelled so good! She felt that she could eat ten of them.

However, it was impossible to eat ten. She only ate half a millet stalk before she was too full to eat any more.

She couldn't bear to throw away the remaining half. After asking everyone else if they didn't want it, she carefully put it into her personal space, intending to save it for later.

Finally, it was only after the moonlight enveloped the earth that the Immortal Elder sent the millet back to the main peak.

When we got back, the whole mouse was already fast asleep, snoring happily.

Even when Lu Li picked her up, she only opened her eyes to look at him, and after confirming that he was someone she knew, she continued to sleep peacefully.

Seeing her so completely dependent on him, Lu Li's smile widened even more.
