Upon seeing his precious daughter being held, Shuli felt as if all the fur on his body had been set on fire, and he darted over in a flash.

Not only did he squeeze his massive body between the two, but he also forcefully separated their hands, and finally glared fiercely at Lu Li, his eyes clearly warning him.

Before he realized what was going on, Lu Li was quite calm when Shu Li glared at him. But now that he knows what he's thinking, he feels a little guilty when he meets his future father-in-law's gaze.

The millet was incredibly perceptive about everything concerning its own cub, as if it had a million tiny radars installed. It noticed the change in Lu Li's gaze in just one glance.

It only took a moment to realize that the other party had finally seen the light and was eyeing its own plump, healthy cabbage.

Instantly, Shuli stared at Lu Li with eyes that looked as if she wanted to pop her eyeballs out.

If he hadn't seen that his baby hadn't awakened yet and was worried that he would accidentally activate his baby if he got mad, Mili would have wanted to press Lu Li down and give him a good beating right now.

Although it might not be able to beat Lu Li, that doesn't diminish its desire to beat Lu Li at all.

After much restraint, Shuli finally couldn't hold back and secretly sent Lu Li a message: "See you at the back mountain tonight." It was clearly a challenge to a fight.

Lu Li knew that his future father-in-law had seen through his intentions, so he touched his nose guiltily and quickly turned around and obediently replied, "Yes."

At the same time, he was racking his brains trying to figure out how to persuade his father-in-law.

Should I show it my savings, tell it I'm willing to marry into its family, or simply make a vow to the heavens, guaranteeing that I will treat my junior sister well?

After much deliberation, Lu Li finally decided to tell everyone everything.

Lu Li prayed to the ethereal deity for the first time in his life, hoping that his future father-in-law would not stop him from getting close to Shushu, considering his sincerity.

Then, the way he looked at the millet unconsciously took on a hint of ingratiation that had never appeared on his face before, which seemed very out of place.

Finally, Shuli couldn't stand his gaze any longer and blurted out, "Be normal, or don't even think about getting close to my little one again."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li instantly reverted to his original state, returning to normal. He had truly mastered the art of changing his expression, leaving even Shu Li speechless, his lips twitching slightly.

But eventually, even Shuli couldn't help but start to think about it.

They listed out all the eligible young men within their tribe and from other beast tribes.

Ordinary beastmen are ruled out first; its precious cub has awakened the ancestral bloodline and will definitely go far in the future.

There are no outstanding beastmen at present, and they may die early in the future. It is unwilling to let its cub be widowed and suffer the pain of loss alone.

Even within the clan, no one in this generation is suitable for millet and sweet potatoes.

To be precise, he is the only eligible shrew. He and shrew are childhood sweethearts, and everyone has accepted their relationship. They are just waiting to hold a mating ceremony.

After this thorough search, only the various divine beast races remained. After looking through them all, Lu Li truly stood out as the most outstanding among them.

As for the human race, Millet had not considered it at all. Although it had no prejudice against human-beast relationships, since ancient times, humans and beastmen have mostly regarded each other as different races.

Moreover, most of the young talents in the Great Vault Realm are now in various sects, which are very complex and dangerous. Treasure-hunting rats are such a special species, so it's best not to get involved.

After comparing them, Shuli had to admit that Lu Li was indeed the most suitable one. The two were also fellow disciples from the same sect, so their relationship was already established.

Most importantly, Lu Li has protected and accompanied his own child for so many years, and most of the daily necessities for his precious daughter were prepared by others.

Thinking of this, the millet's resistance to Lu Li lessened by 30%. Of the remaining 70%, 40% was its attitude of preparing to wait for the millet potato, and 30% was its genuine reluctance to part with him.

Her heart softened, but Shu Li's expression remained unchanged.

It couldn't let Lu Li see the change in its attitude now, otherwise, what if Lu Li felt that it was too easy to get agreement and didn't cherish it in the future?

Thinking of this possibility, Shuli couldn't help but glare fiercely at Lu Li again.

As for Lu Li, he obediently endured Shu Li's gaze. It was normal for him to be harassed when he wanted to abduct someone else's precious daughter.

He wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he was happy that Shushu had such a caring family.

The clash between the rat and the phoenix may seem like a lot, but in reality, it all happens in an instant.

Shushu didn't seem to mind being separated from his senior brother by his father. He calmly accepted it and then started chatting with his parents.

They had only been exploring for a short while when Xu Ruoyun and Tutu arrived. They were waiting for Shushu to return to the sect together.

As for Liu Yu and Liu Ying, they had already left the Phoenix Clan territory and returned to their sect about half a month after the Ten Thousand Year Ceremony ended.

After all, the Liuyue Sect is a second-tier sect with many affairs to attend to. As the sect leader and administrators, they must be very busy.

In addition, they also obtained a lot of information from Lu Zhao's memories and from the interrogation of Lu Chu and the other lineage of phoenixes.

The hidden agents left behind by Huaiyu and Huling, as well as the many forces that secretly sided with them and committed evil deeds, are all things that need to be dealt with.

Although the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was involved and the Phoenix Clan had Elder Lu Xian, there were still quite a few things to resolve, so Liu Yu, as her master, had to keep busy.

With their master busy, Gu Borong and Ling Mufeng, along with their male disciples, naturally couldn't let them be idle. They all had to help out, so they were all taken away.

Only Xu Ruoyun and Tutu remained, precious darlings protected by their master and fellow disciples, just like Shushu, so they didn't have to do anything.

Okay, we've digressed. Back to the present, Shushu had barely exchanged a few words with Xu Ruoyun and Tutu when Long Ji arrived with several dragons that Shushu had never seen before.

Perhaps because the beastmen are generally straightforward, Long Ji immediately asked when he would go to see Ling Jun.

After asking the question, he explained the identities of the dragons behind him: they were the Dragon Clan Chief Long Ke, and the two current ancestors of the Dragon Clan, Long Bing and Long Chu.

They had all learned of Lingjun's news and were preparing to go with Shushu to bring back their little ancestor.

Yes, that's right, Little Ancestor. Lingjun's seniority in the Dragon Clan is quite high.
