"Junior Sister, you're awake. How are you feeling?"
As soon as Shushu opened her eyes, she was met with Lu Li's concerned gaze.
"Senior Brother."
Seeing Lu Li like this, Shushu recalled Lu Li's miserable state in his memory, and how he was enslaved by Wen Jianxi for his entire life as a treasure-hunting rat.
Although it wasn't something she personally experienced, it was still intertwined with that memory, and Shushu couldn't hold back any longer.
Sobbing, it threw itself into Lu Li's arms, its paws gripping the front of his shirt tightly, its furry face pressed against him, and large tears streaming down its bright eyes.
In no time, Lu Li's clothes were soaked.
"What's wrong? Does it still hurt?"
Lu Li was startled by her reaction and quickly supported her with one hand while gently stroking her back with the other to comfort her.
"Senior Brother, that Wen Jianxi is too wicked. She... Please don't pay any attention to her in the future, okay? Stay far away from her whenever you see her."
After hearing Lu Li's concern, Shushu felt even more aggrieved. She wanted to tell everyone about the despicable things Wen Jianxi had done, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she couldn't say anything.
Moreover, whenever she had the thought of killing Wen Jianxi, a voice in her mind would warn her and stop her from doing so.
There was nothing she could do but subtly tell Lu Li to stay away from Wen Jianxi, that troublemaker, to avoid being smeared by her.
As for the antidote to the Spirit-Binding Powder, she has the prescription in her inherited memories. She will find all the medicinal herbs listed and concoct the antidote. She will absolutely not let Wen Jianxi succeed and harm the Liuyue Sect again.
She'll also find a way to deal with that demon prince and Wen Jianxi's spatial artifact spirit.
In this life, she will never let Wen Jianxi have such a smooth life, and she will never give her the opportunity to harm her senior brother and the Liuyue Sect.
Fortunately, when she was thinking about these things, she didn't feel that resistance. It seemed that the Heavenly Dao only did not allow her to kill Wen Jianxi now, but it did not forbid her from weakening Wen Jianxi's abilities.
In that case, she would have a lot more room to maneuver.
"Okay, Senior Brother, I'll listen to you. Don't think too much about it. Those are all illusions, not real."
Seeing how upset Shushu was, Lu Li agreed to her request without hesitation.
Anyway, he didn't like Wen Jianxi either. She was too opportunistic and scheming. She pretended to be cute and charming on the surface, but in reality, she was ruthless.
Most importantly, the way this woman looked at him was as if he were her possession, with an extremely strong possessiveness and a determination to have him, which made him feel disgusted.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party had a father who was the head of a sect, he would have burned him to ashes long ago. How dare such a lowly ant covet him?
Therefore, when he heard Shushu tell him not to get close to Wen Jianxi, he agreed almost without hesitation.
As for why Shushu developed such a strong dislike for Wen Jianxi after receiving the inheritance, he simply assumed that Shushu had experienced some kind of illusion during the inheritance test.
In that illusion, Wen Jianxi was the culprit. After all, he knew that before his junior sister was found by his master, she was almost contracted by that woman.
Based on his understanding of that woman, if Shushu were to be bound by a contract, she would definitely not end up well.
All I can say is that Lu Li's logic is very clear.
However, he could never have imagined that the sweet potato carried memories from its previous life, although these memories were not strictly speaking its experiences.
But Shushu is, after all, part of the treasure-hunting rats, and now, having become the main soul and merged with those memories, it naturally feels the pain of empathy.
"My senior brother is so good to me."
When Shushu heard Lu Li describe the matter as an illusion, she felt it was inconvenient to explain, so she simply accepted it. However, it was undeniable that Lu Li was indeed very good to her.
"It must be Master and Mistress. Let's go out. They've been very worried about you these past few days."
Just as Lu Li was about to say something, the restrictions on the cave were triggered.
Of course, the only ones who could come at this time were Liu Yu and Liu Ying. Lu Li didn't delay and immediately prepared to take Shushu up, also to distract her from her sad mood.
When Shushu successfully tempered his body and received the inheritance, they noticed immediately and knew that Shushu should be fine afterward, so Liuyu and Liuying left to attend to other matters.
Although the two of them were busy, they still kept an eye on the situation here every day. Today, they specifically took some time to come and see if Shushu had woken up yet.
"Senior Brother, how many days did it take me to receive the inheritance?"
After Lu Li mentioned it, Shushu realized that Liu Yu and Liu Ying were not there.
On second thought, she realized that her master and mistress must have left after seeing that she had successfully tempered her body. She didn't know how many days it had taken her to receive the inheritance, so she quickly asked Lu Li.
"Twelve days." Lu Li answered without hesitation when she asked this, clearly having calculated the days. While answering Shushu, he also tucked her into his pocket and walked out.
"So long?" Twelve days, with only one meal of millet and potatoes—this timeframe was beyond her comprehension.
However, considering that she was cultivating her divine sense and spiritual power while receiving the inheritance, she felt that twelve days was not a long time.
"Shushu is awake?"
Just as Shushu was about to say something, Liu Yu and Liu Ying's voices came from outside, one gentle and the other soft. Then, two figures appeared in front of them.
"Master and Mistress." Upon seeing the two, Shushu immediately greeted them happily, her tone filled with dependence and coquetry.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad, this means you've received the inherited memories."
"Your mental strength and spiritual awareness are also much stronger than before. Little Sweet Potato is really great."
