Looking at the little potato's worried eyes, glancing back and forth, and its fur standing on end without it even realizing it.
To avoid making her really anxious, Lu Li quickly composed himself and gently assured her, "Don't worry, Senior Brother is fine. He just needs to take regular baths. Don't worry, it'll be alright."
After saying that, he figured he had soaked in the medicinal bath for a while, so he covered his private parts, got out of the tub, dried himself off, and then gestured to Shushu to check.
The glutinous rice ball didn't stand on ceremony. It flew around Lu Li several times, carefully examining him from head to toe, but found no obvious external injuries.
She flew back to the table and gestured for Lu Li to put his hand up. After Lu Li raised his hand in front of her, she put her little paws on Lu Li's hand.
Using all her pharmacological knowledge, she began to conduct a proper examination, probing Lu Li's meridians with her divine sense. Lu Li did not resist and calmly allowed her to examine him.
After examining Lu Li closely, Shushu found that he only had the old injuries and no new ones. He breathed a sigh of relief and plopped down on the table.
She patted her little chest with her tiny paws to calm herself down before starting to carve out her own space.
She rummaged through the items, finding something she thought would be useful to Lu Li, and took it out. By the time she finally stopped, the table was piled high with them.
If Lu Li hadn't carefully supported it with her spiritual power, the object would definitely have fallen to the ground, and she herself would have almost been buried by it.
The potato, realizing what was happening, was also startled, but showed no intention of backing down. It flew up to Lu Li's eye level, pointed at a pile of things, and said to Lu Li.
"Senior brother, these are all prepared for you. You can eat them and use them."
Lu Li had guessed Shushu's plan as soon as she took out the first item. She felt warm inside and showed it on her face, looking much brighter.
Looking again at the table full of good things, Lu Li knew that these were all Shushu's thoughtful gifts and expressions of Shushu's care for him, and he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Alright, senior brother will accept them all. Junior sister, don't worry, okay?"
As he spoke, he reached out and gently rubbed Shushu's little head, making Shushu's little hat crooked.
Shushu, however, didn't care about any of that. She looked at Lu Li and earnestly instructed him, "Senior Brother, you must take good care of your body so that I can rest assured."
Despite his mature demeanor, Lu Li listened attentively and replied earnestly, "Okay."
Seeing that Shushu stretched out her paws as if she wanted to give him a high five, he also raised his hand and gave her a high five.
Afterwards, the two disciples talked for a while before resting at Shushu's urging.
...
Because of Lu Li's medicinal bath, even though he clearly stated that he was fine.
In the following days, no matter who called her, Shushu refused to go out.
She would stay by Lu Li's side every day, watching him use the treasures she had given him, and only felt at ease when she saw that he was doing well.
Lu Li found her sudden clinginess both amusing and touching.
The funny thing is that she thought too much about herself, but what touched her was the little guy's care and concern for her, which warmed her heart. She felt that all the good things she had done for Shushu had not been in vain.
Therefore, Lu Li did not find the sticky texture of the sweet potato annoying; on the contrary, he enjoyed and indulged in it.
Shushu let him rest when she wanted, and let him eat when she wanted; she did everything she asked.
Even when he really had to make excuses to go out, Lu Li would just stuff the sweet potato into his clothes and take it with him wherever he went, he really couldn't bear to put it down for a moment.
Such a rare and carefully cherished appearance surprised all the outsiders.
The rumor that he loved spirit rats was brought up again and spread.
Just like the celebrity effect, as the rumor spread, the spirit rats in Xingxiang City sold out overnight, and they were extremely hard to find.
Many people, eager to make this deal, rushed to send messages and run errands to bring back a lot of spirit rats from surrounding cities.
Almost all spirit pet shops have moved their spirit rats from various corners of the shop to the very center, a position that can be seen at a glance upon entering. Some auctions have even auctioned off spirit rats.
Those cultivators who had participated in the Xunfeng Secret Realm before, and who bought spirit rats after hearing the first rumors, were even more determined to succeed.
Not only did they proudly parade around with their spirit rats, but many others also tried to find opportunities to bump into Lu Li and strike up a conversation about the spirit rats.
Unfortunately, Lu Li was very alert and had no intention of paying attention to these people. He avoided them as soon as he spotted them from afar, and he didn't even glance at the spirit rats in their hands.
His junior sister is not comparable to those little spirit mice! His junior sister is a divine beast treasure-hunting mouse, the great-great-great-great-ancestor of those spirit mice.
Therefore, none of the cultivators who tried to get close to Lu Li and curry favor with him through the spirit rat ultimately succeeded.
Shushu remained firmly in Lu Li's embrace, irreplaceable by any rat. He took Shushu with him wherever he went, whether to meet various cultivators or to stroll around Star City.
Although he couldn't reveal his identity or speak in front of others because of his status, Shushu was actually feeling a bit stifled.
But since Lu Li could be seen at all times, and he was in great shape with no recurrence of his old injuries, Shushu completely ignored the discomfort he felt from having to keep quiet.
