"Senior Brother, Wen Jianxi's target should be the wood and stone we just obtained from the stall. She has exceptionally good luck, and she also has a very strange helper by her side. Be careful."

While Wen Jianxi and the spirit were discussing how to snatch the items from them, Shushu was also talking to Lu Li.

After discovering that Wen Jianxi was also among the crowd following behind, Shushu knew that Wen Jianxi must also be eyeing what they had just acquired, or rather, she sensed it.

After all, Wen Jianxi has always had top-tier luck, both in her past and present lives, and her senses are also extremely sharp.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have encountered her own treasure-hunting rat, or her spatial artifact spirit.

Although Shushu hated the artifact spirit, she had to admit that the spatial artifact was a great opportunity.

The fact that Wen Jianxi was able to obtain such an opportunity is itself a blessing from Heaven, so it is not surprising that Wen Jianxi could sense the wood and stone.

Shushu sometimes wondered why, since Wen Jianxi's luck was so extraordinary, the Heavenly Dao had made him contracted with her in his previous life, driven by her, and helped her grow.

However, when she recalled that whenever Wen Jianxi sensed something, she would always ask Shushu to clear the way for her, she knew that her existence was more about protecting Wen Jianxi from harm.

After all, opportunities and treasures are often guarded by guardians. What Shushu needs to do is to attract the attention and attacks of these guardians for Wen Jianxi, so that Wen Jianxi can safely take away the opportunity.

Furthermore, Wen Jianxi is, after all, human. No matter how extraordinary her perception and luck are, she is still no match for this treasure-hunting rat who is born with the ability to find treasures.

The rules emphasize equality for all things, but even the way of Heaven cannot be taken too far.

That's why he saw himself as a great opportunity and sent himself to Wen Jianxi's side to help her succeed.

She wondered if Heaven would send Wen Jianxi a similar opportunity after she had missed out on this great chance in her life.

In any case, she would never allow herself to become Wen Jianxi's appendage again, enslaved by him, with her life hanging in the balance.

She's still an auspicious beast, why should she give way to Wen Jianxi, this woman of destiny?

Thinking this, Shushu's resolve in the Dao became even stronger: in this life, she would definitely live a different kind of life.

Just as Shushu clenched her fist to encourage herself, Lu Li behind her responded to what she had just said.

Using his sleeves as cover to avoid the gaze of those behind him, he stored all the items he had previously packed in the market into his internal space.

Then he patted Shushu's head and said, "Don't worry, your senior brother knows."

He was not an arrogant person to begin with, and although he didn't feel the seriousness of Shushu's reminder.

But recalling the strange feeling he had every time he encountered Wen Jianxi, and Shushu's unusual wariness of her, he also became wary.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Lu Li quietly put something into his storage bag.

If Wen Jianxi doesn't have any ulterior motives, that's fine. But if she really dares to use any tricks, his preparations will definitely give her a hard time.

Anyway, he used this storage bag for decoration and concealment. It wasn't very spacious, and he would hardly put anything in it if it weren't for the fact that he was under the watchful eyes of everyone in the market.

If it can also trick Wen Jianxi, then it can be considered to have served its purpose.

"Don't worry, senior brother has arranged everything. Let's just wait and see what happens."

Finally, to reassure Shushu, Lu Li whispered a comforting remark before continuing his calm and unhurried journey towards Xianglai Forest outside Wanyue City.

As Lu Li walked further and further into the secluded forest, just as he was about to enter Xianglai Forest, several people suddenly rushed out from behind him and blocked his way.

One of the burly men, with a thick back and a face full of scars, said to him in a very fierce tone, "Kid, leave the storage bag behind."

Hearing the fierce tone, Shushu poked her head out from Lu Li's arms and looked at him, then she was dumbfounded.

Are these people overconfident in their own strength, or do they think their senior brother is useless and can no longer wield a sword?

Yes, what will stand in their way is a group of cultivators who have just reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Normally speaking, Foundation Establishment cultivators should be considered among the most powerful in the Rainy Continent, but that's only from the perspective of outsiders.

As a divine beast, Lu Li's cultivation level dropped to the Golden Core stage due to injury, but his strength is far more than what he appears to be.

If it really came down to dealing with this group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lu Li could take on dozens of them by himself without even breaking a sweat.

I don't know where these people got the courage to rob them.

'Junior sister, would you like to practice your skills?'

Lu Li was clearly aware of his situation, so after seeing the cultivation levels of the people who had appeared and secretly scanning the people who had not appeared in the shadows to make sure that he could handle them, he asked Shushu, "This is a target that has come to us willingly, so why not use it?"

"Then I'll trouble you, senior brother."

Upon hearing this, Shushu's eyes lit up. Although she had been fighting with the group of firefly rabbits from Yuefeng recently, they were all her own rabbits and would never kill her.

Therefore, millet still has many shortcomings in combat.

Now that someone is offering this service for free, she's naturally not going to be polite.

Moreover, with Lu Li around, Shushu believed that no matter how dangerous it was, he could save her; otherwise, Lu Li would never have let her take such a risk.

Even if Lu Li couldn't save her in time, she still has two escape routes: the space inside her abdomen and the Rat Treasure.

Moreover, the current Shushu is no longer the Shushu who didn't know anything when it first came back.

The millet we eat now is like the Niu Hulu millet, which has been trained and can even be cultivated.

She might not be able to handle so many Foundation Establishment cultivators at once, but if she defeats them one by one, her chances of winning are still very high.

Therefore, Shushu responded quite readily to Lu Li's suggestion.

'Okay, go ahead, I'll keep those people under control.'

Seeing Shushu's eager expression, Lu Li smiled as well.

After gently stroking her head, he unleashed his power, instantly drawing the person opposite him into his domain and controlling them.

As for those who hadn't shown themselves, he kept a close eye on them, and Lu Li could stop them immediately if they dared to get close.

To prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation, he also activated several defensive array plates to protect them.

The moment he activated his domain, Shushu targeted the weakest among them and charged straight at him, striking with its claw without a word.
