"Senior brother, senior brother, open the door! I'm back! Let me in quickly!"
When Shushu runs at full speed, her speed is truly super fast. In addition, she already knew where Lu Li's room was. In just a few breaths, she had already accurately found the room.
However, the room door was closed at the moment, and the room's restrictions must have been opened from the inside by Lu Li. Shushu pushed the door several times, but it didn't budge.
Even the windows were tightly shut and couldn't be pushed open no matter what.
However, she was so excited when she went out in the afternoon that she forgot about the jade tablet that restricted the room and ran off with Xu Ruoyun.
Helpless, Shushu, unable to open the door, could only call out to it. Whether it was because the barrier was too strong, Lu Li was not there, or for some other reason, she called out several times, but there was still no response from inside the room.
After knocking for a while without getting any response, Shushu started to get anxious. What started as just knocking on the door turned into knocking on the door and scratching at it, making the door rattle loudly.
The commotion woke up Lu Li, who had been resting with his eyes closed.
Hearing the increasingly urgent scratching at the door, Lu Li finally realized that the little guy outside was not a patient or impatient person.
Lu Li glanced at the hot spring bath, which was only halfway through, and thought it wouldn't be a big deal to let the little guy in. After all, they had bathed together in the sect's hot spring pool before.
Having made his decision, Lu Li simply raised his hand and opened the door's restriction. The door creaked open a crack, allowing Shushu to enter without exposing himself.
Lu Li had a good plan, but he didn't notice that Shushu was lying in the crack of the door. As soon as the door opened, Shushu rolled in through the crack.
Caught completely off guard, Shushu skipped walking and quickly rolled into the room.
By the time she finally managed to steady herself and stand up, the door that had been slightly ajar had already been closed again, and the restrictions had been reactivated, preventing outsiders from prying into her life.
Sensing the abundant moisture in the room, Shushu's little radar immediately activated; she felt that she probably shouldn't have come in at this time.
Sure enough, the next moment, she followed her instincts and looked up, only to meet a pair of gentle phoenix eyes that were smiling at her. It was none other than her handsome and peerless senior brother.
Unlike his usual impeccable and clean attire, he was now dressed casually, leaning against a large bathtub.
His long hair was wet with water, and his handsome face was also dotted with water droplets. He was enveloped in the rising steam.
This...this is absolutely a stunning picture of a beautiful woman bathing, or rather, a picture of a handsome man bathing.
Especially since the other person was looking at her with a smile, she looked like a fairy. If her blood and qi hadn't been stable and she hadn't already learned to regulate her breathing, she probably would have lost face like the first time they met!
Thinking this, the little potato's mind, which had just run away from home because of its beauty, finally returned. A look of annoyance flashed in its eyes, and it quickly stretched out its little paws to cover its eyes, as if to say, "I'm not peeking."
Of course, this assumes that the extremely wide gaps between the claws must be ignored.
Lu Li naturally understood the little one's fondness for colors, so she didn't expose her. With a gentle lift of her hand, she used a soft force to lift Shushu's little body and move her to the other side of the table.
While serving, he explained, "There are milk fruits on the table, you can drink them first, and your senior brother will brew some more."
As he finished speaking, the sweet potato was placed among a pile of milk fruits. Lu Li also cast a cleansing spell on her, cleaning her body thoroughly before withdrawing his spiritual power and continuing his bath.
After this incident, although Shushu still felt a little shy when looking at Lu Li, she no longer felt uncomfortable or awkward as before.
Shushu picked up the nearest milk fruit, sat down on the spot, leaned her little body against the pile of milk fruits, bit the peel with her little milk teeth, and took a big sip of milk fruit. Only then did Shushu look at Lu Li seriously.
When Shushu saw that the bathtub contained bright red medicinal liquid, she realized that as a cultivator, especially a phoenix of the Feather Clan, her senior brother actually disliked taking baths and usually used various cleansing arrays and spells.
Now they're taking a bath, and it's clearly not just a simple soak in bubbles.
So, Shushu also composed himself, stopped drinking the milk fruit, and flew directly to the edge of the bathtub. With his little nose twitching, he immediately smelled several kinds of spiritual plants inside.
Flipping through the inherited memories, he found a prescription containing all these spiritual plants, all of which were for treating internal injuries. Instantly, Shushu also became nervous, moving closer to Lu Li and staring intently at his face, as if trying to figure out exactly where he was injured.
Even though Shushu is now in the form of a spirit rat, Lu Li could still see seriousness and deep worry on her furry face.
Knowing that she was worried and nervous about him, Lu Li's expression softened. He picked up the sweet potato with one hand and gently stroked her hair with the other.
While stroking its fur, she reassured it, "Don't worry, these are old injuries. You need to take medicated baths regularly. I'll soak in them for a bit, it'll be fine."
Shushu had always known that Lu Li had old injuries, but that's precisely why she was even more nervous.
Because she knew that Lu Li's injury was truly severe, requiring many rare and precious herbs and top-grade healing pills to possibly repair it.
However, in the Rainy Continent, there is no possibility of a complete recovery. Not to mention that there are no rare and precious natural treasures and top-grade healing pills here, the spiritual energy here is simply insufficient to support the amount he needs to repair himself.
Only by leaving the Rainy Continent can he have any hope of recovery.
Thinking of this, Shushu first took out a storage ring that he had prepared in advance, held it up in front of Lu Li and said seriously.
"Senior brother, this storage ring contains the raw materials for refining the shuttle boat that Tianluo, Lingjun, and I exchanged. After the power ranking competition, we will ask our master to refine the shuttle boat. Then, once I reach the Nascent Soul stage, we will leave the Rain Rain Continent, okay?"
Shushu didn't explicitly say what she was going to do after leaving the Yulin Continent, but the meaning was very clear: she was going to help Lu Li find rare and precious medicinal materials and top-grade pills to heal his injuries.
Lu Li, seeing his petite junior sister so devoted to him, felt his heart melt completely.
