Chapter 23 I've Come to Take You Home



"Hey, Rabbit One, you actually kicked my butt! You have no sportsmanship!"

As Shushu stood in the fighting arena, unsure which rabbit to attack, a firefly rabbit next to him was kicked away by another rabbit.

Seeing the rabbit fly out in an arc, and the rabbit it mentioned, Shushu immediately became alert. She remembered that Rabbit One had just been standing to her left.

Before the potato could even react, its body had already darted to the right.

As she dodged, her gaze involuntarily turned back to the spot where she had just been standing, and sure enough, she saw Rabbit One's hind leg kicking out.

Rabbit One probably didn't expect Potato to react so quickly, but when it met Potato's gaze, it didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, it grinned and quickly charged towards Potato.

The little potato wouldn't let its opponent get close, so it immediately kept dodging to the side. The rabbit and the mouse then started playing a game of chase and hide-and-seek in the field.

While chasing, they also pulled their other companions into the water.

Instantly, the entire area descended into chaos. All the Firefly Rabbits, without any regard for who they were, attacked the nearest one at a time, filling the air with flying fluff.

Everywhere there are furry paws and furry legs; even the furry-loving Shushu is about to have a meltdown.

However, just as she was about to give in to her love of plush toys, she was suddenly kicked in the butt, and her little body was lifted into the air, giving her a taste of high-altitude flight.

Then, the potato made a nimble 360° turn in mid-air and saw the Firefly Rabbit, who had been kicked away by Rabbit One earlier, with its foot about to retract.

Good grief, so even if he gets kicked away himself, he'll kick others away too.

Now, Shushu no longer wanted to fight Rabbit. After landing, she locked onto the Firefly Rabbit that had kicked her and charged straight at it, determined to fight it.

The other party was not afraid of the yam and strode towards it. Soon, the two opponents collided head-on, along with a rabbit's paw and a mouse's paw.

Because of its small size and weak strength, the yam was bounced back two steps before stopping.

At that moment, Shushu realized that her small size put her at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but at the same time, she also realized that her small size was also her advantage.

So, the little potato rolled her eyes and decided not to confront the firefly rabbit head-on. Instead, she nimbly dodged and leaped up and down on its body, occasionally swatting it with her claws, which gave her the temporary upper hand.

Of course, Firefly Rabbit wasn't stupid. She quickly broke free from Potato's close-range attack and began to counterattack, resulting in Potato taking a lot of rabbit punches.

Just as the rabbit and the mouse were having a good fight, their attack accidentally hit two other animals that were also fighting nearby.

The next moment, the potato's opponents changed from one to three. Occasionally, it would team up with one to fight against two opponents, or three to fight against one, or be attacked by three opponents.

In any case, they developed a very tacit fighting style: whoever had the upper hand, they would team up with the other three to attack that person.

Then, the rabbits next to them seemed to have discovered their interesting strategy and began to join in, from four to six, from six to eight, gradually increasing until all the rabbits had joined the team.

This great chaos lasted from noon until sunset, when Moon Peak was shrouded in moonlight, and everyone finally collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

This time, everyone was truly exhausted, without any pretense. After all, they had used only physical strength throughout the afternoon, without using any spiritual energy, including any spiritual energy to heal their injuries.

So now it's lying on the ground, not only tired but also in pain. Shushu's whole body has grown bigger, it's been beaten and swollen.

However, Shushu was very happy because she could clearly feel that her movements had become much more agile.

As expected, spirit beasts mainly level up through battles, even the treasure-hunting rat.

Of course, it really hurt. At this moment, she felt that she didn't even have the strength to lift her paws and just wanted to lie down.

Listening to the snoring beside her, Shushu knew that the other firefly rabbits must have fallen asleep like this, so her double eyelids began to droop as she became drowsy.

"Senior Brother, what brings you here?"

Just as Shushu was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt her small body being rolled up and then falling into a pair of warm, broad hands, where she was being held.

Shushu was startled and suddenly opened her eyes. She saw her senior brother looking at her with a smile. Her heart, which had been in her throat, relaxed. She thought he had something to ask her, so she asked casually.

"It's okay, I've come to pick you up and take you home." However, Lu Li hadn't come to see her because he had something to ask; he had only come to pick her up.

In an instant, Shushu's heart was filled with those words, and she snuggled against Lu Li's palm, saying, "Senior Brother, it really hurts... Ouch~."

Then she gasped in pain, all evidence of the afternoon's battle, and a testament to her achievements; she had gained a great deal from that fight.

"Does it still hurt now?"

Lu Li hadn't expected that Shushu would forget the claws that had hit his face and just rub against it like that; it would be strange if it didn't aggravate the wound.

Seeing her wincing in pain, he couldn't bring himself to blame her. So, while stuffing a pill into her mouth, he used his spiritual power to relieve her pain and promote the absorption of the pill.

Although Shushu had successfully drawn Qi into his body a few days ago and broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

However, because she was focused entirely on improving her cultivation, she hadn't yet learned how to use spiritual energy to regulate her body and assist the medicinal properties of the pills. He knew this, so he had to do it himself for her.

Soon, as Lu Li continuously channeled his spiritual energy to help her, the pain in Shushu's body lessened rapidly, and she regained her spirits. She continued to rub her palm against Lu Li's, expressing her gratitude.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you, Senior Brother. Senior Brother is so kind, I like Senior Brother the most."

"It's good that it doesn't hurt. You should go to sleep now. I'll take you back. If you want to come again tomorrow, I'll bring you back."

Seeing that she was really alright, Lu Li gently patted her little head, then tucked her into his clothes, adding to her conversation.

"Alright, senior brother, I'm going to sleep now."

As Lu Li tucked the sweet potato into her clothes, feeling the familiar scent and warmth, she couldn't help but yawn. When Lu Li told her to go to sleep first, she readily agreed.

The last sentence was nasal, and soon I fell into a deep sleep.

Although her injuries have healed, she is indeed exhausted and needs sleep.

Seeing that she had fallen asleep so quickly, Lu Li knew that she was really tired. He stopped talking, and after sending a telepathic message to his master and mistress to say goodbye, he left Moon Peak with Shushu.
