"Holy crap, why are you chasing me?"

A day later, in the Wuhua Secret Realm, Shushu was running ahead, panting heavily. Beside her was Xuejie, whose breathing was more steady than hers, and behind them was an unfamiliar male cultivator.

Behind the male cultivator was a huge herd of spirit beasts, some that flew in the sky, some that ran on land, and some that swam in the water.

It was fortunate that these monsters weren't too powerful, otherwise they would have caught up with Shushu long ago.

It's quite absurd that Shushu and Xuejie were leisurely walking in the mountains that day, digging up any rare herbs they came across, and continuing on their way if they didn't find any.

Unexpectedly, just as she finished putting away a sixth-grade spirit herb, her keen ears heard a vibration coming from afar. She quietly flew into the air and peeked out.

Good heavens, I don't know if this person has angered everyone or what, but he is followed by a large group of spirit beasts, all of which have angry faces.

As soon as Shushu saw this, he knew things were going badly. Without thinking, he turned around, called Xuejie, and ran away.

But for some inexplicable reason, the male cultivator behind him saw Shushu running and immediately followed after him, shouting as he chased, "Fellow Daoist, wait for me! Wait for me!"

Not to mention that even the millet and potatoes could see the dust that filled the sky when the group of spirit beasts behind him ran.

Just by encountering a stranger calling out to him in a secret realm, one doesn't even need to think to know there's something fishy going on. Only a fool would listen to him and stop to wait for him.

So the sorghum ran even faster.

However, that person was like a piece of chewing gum; once it was stuck, it couldn't be peeled off.

The two of them, along with the group of spirit beasts behind them, staged a scene in this Wuhua Secret Realm where he chased her and she fled, and the beasts chased him and he fled, with neither of them able to escape.

For a whole day, Shushu ran around, using up countless speed-up talismans and devouring several bottles of recovery pills, but he still couldn't shake off the persistent pest behind him.

And not a single one of those spirit beasts fell behind.

To be more precise, not only did no one fall behind, but several more joined in the past two days, and no one knows what grudge they held against them.

Shushu swore that if it weren't for the group of spirit beasts behind her, she would have turned around without hesitation and rushed up to beat him to death.

They just had to catch her and chase her, didn't they? A tiger was roaring in Shushu's heart, but she dared not shout it out loud because she needed to conserve her energy for a mad dash.

Thinking this, Shushu couldn't help but take out another high-level speed-up talisman and stick it on himself.

Sensing that he was getting faster, Shushu even looked back.

Good heavens, the other side actually used a speed-up charm too: "Damn it!" Shushu couldn't help but swear.

After thinking it over for a while, she gritted her teeth, activated a stack of thunderstorm talismans, and threw them at the person behind her. She had endured it all day and was no longer going to tolerate it.

With a loud 'boom,' the person who had been relentlessly pursuing them was indeed blown to smithereens.

Seeing that the other party was still determined to catch up, they threw out a lot more millet and potatoes, so densely packed that it finally stopped the other party's progress.

Seeing that he was about to be caught up by a group of spirit beasts behind him, the man could only leave with a resentful remark: "You're ruthless."

He took another deep look at the yam, as if trying to memorize its appearance, before reluctantly changing direction and running for his life.

The group of spirit beasts following behind him suddenly stopped, glanced at the glutinous rice, then at the man, and finally, except for one little unicorn, they all continued chasing after him.

Looking at the little unicorn, and seeing that it didn't seem to intend to attack, Shushu asked curiously, "Why don't you chase after it?"

The little unicorn tilted its head and looked at the potato: "I like you. You smell nice."

Shushu paused, then asked, "You like me?"

The little unicorn exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, yes, it smells wonderful!" Then, as if remembering something, it asked with a hint of doubt, "You can understand what I'm saying?"

Shushu didn't see anything to hide and nodded, "Yes."

Then she saw the little unicorn get even more excited and dart over to the potato in a flash.

First, she twitched her little nose and sniffed the sweet potato for a while. Then, as if she had confirmed something, she started circling around the sweet potato, making cheerful noises in her baby voice.

"You can hear what I'm saying, you can really understand what I'm saying, wow~ you can understand!"

Shushu sighed helplessly, forcibly restraining the little guy who was too excited to think straight, and reminded him: "Little friend, many outsiders have come to the secret realm. It's very dangerous now. You'd better hurry back to your clan."

The little unicorn listened, but didn't care at all: "I know, that's why I sneaked out during this time, I don't want to go back." Well, this is a runaway kid.

Shushu rubbed his temples, wondering how to persuade it to go back, since the secret realm was really not safe right now, when he heard the little guy ask, "Can I come with you?"

The potato instinctively replied, "Why are you following me?"

Little unicorn: "Because you smell nice, I like it."

Smells good? The little unicorn had mentioned it several times, but when he looked down and sniffed himself, he couldn't smell anything.

Looking at Yukisuke, who had remained silent, and receiving a nod of approval, Yukisuke couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Just then, the little unicorn noticed her confusion, its round eyes crinkling with laughter as it leaned closer and whispered, "Sister is a divine beast, Xiangxiang."

Shushu was startled. He immediately extended his divine sense to check if any other living beings were eavesdropping. He breathed a sigh of relief and then asked in a low voice, "How did you know?"

The little unicorn raised its head proudly, its face full of arrogance: "I smelled it."

Millet: "You could tell by smell?"

Little Unicorn: "Yes, yes!" (?ˊ?ˋ)

The sorghum looked at its little nose carefully for a few moments, and finally gave a dry compliment: "This nose is really sharp." Just like a dog's nose.

Of course, she didn't say the last sentence aloud, for fear of upsetting the little unicorn.

The little unicorn was clearly unaware of Millet's teasing. Hearing Millet praise it, the little unicorn beamed with joy and repeated, "Sister, can I follow you?"

What could Shushu do but nod in agreement?

Otherwise, she would really be a little worried about letting the little guy run around outside alone.

I wonder if the little guy's parents or relatives have discovered that it has run away from home, and when they will be able to find it? Shushu is worried.

Meanwhile, within the Unicorn Clan's territory.

Having confirmed that their little unicorn had finally run away from home, the unicorn parents excitedly rushed to the clan leader to request permission to go out, claiming they were going to find their little one.
