The next day, when Shushu woke up, she saw Lu Li next to her holding a jade slip, engraving something on it. His face looked exceptionally alluring in the morning light.
Even though he had seen it many times, every time Shushu saw Lu Li like this, he could still feel the visual overload. The whole mouse was stunned and forgot to react.
Have you seen enough?
Just as Shushu was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a pleasant chuckle. Then she met Lu Li's smiling eyes, which were full of teasing.
Seeing Lu Li with such an expression was rare for Shushu. Shushu felt a burning sensation in his nose, and blood almost rushed to his head.
To avoid losing his composure in front of Lu Li again, Shushu could only quickly look away and stop looking at that handsome face.
"Junior sister, haven't you had enough after looking for so long?"
Seeing her avoidance, Lu Li's smile widened, and he even teased her.
"Hehe, well, it's not that Senior Brother is too handsome."
When Shushu was teased like that, for some reason, the slight discomfort he had felt earlier dissipated, and he awkwardly touched his nose and replied.
At the same time, he couldn't help but mutter to himself: Senior Brother is indeed worthy of being called a phoenix. His looks are truly unmatched. No wonder Wen Jianxi can't forget him.
"I never expected that my junior sister would be such a lecherous little mouse."
Just as Shushu's thoughts were wandering, Lu Li put down the jade slip in his hand, came to Shushu's side, and gently patted her little head.
Of course, Shushu wouldn't admit that she was a little pervert. After hearing Lu Li say that about her, she immediately retorted indignantly.
"No, I wasn't. I was just appreciating it. Seeing beautiful things makes me happy." What, she's not even allowed to look at handsome guys anymore?!
"Okay, whatever you say."
Seeing her expression that said, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't," Lu Li was amused and laughed in agreement, as if whatever she said was true.
After all, as a newborn mouse, Lu Li didn't think the other party would understand those things.
Of course, most importantly, Shushu's eyes are truly pure, without any distracting thoughts or desires, unlike the gazes of those outsiders, which make him feel uncomfortable.
In the eyes of the potato, all he saw was appreciation and admiration for the beauty.
"Alright, I'll take you to the market today, do you want to go?"
Finally, to avoid upsetting the little one, Lu Li gently poked her little body and asked with a smile.
Actually, this was something he had planned beforehand, since his parenting diary contained many things that needed to be prepared.
Although he made many things himself, there were some things he couldn't make and had to buy from the market.
Yes, during this time, while Shushu was cultivating and fighting, Lu Li refined all sorts of things for Shushu in his cave.
He prepared a complete set for Shushu, from the bed to the bowls and chopsticks.
He even considered that the millet might grow larger in the future, so he added a special attribute when refining it: after being branded, these things could change size according to the owner's will.
Lu Li's extravagant act of raising a child almost made Liu Yu think that his eldest disciple had been switched, but the thought was only dismissed after he remembered that the other party was a phoenix.
After all, the phoenix is a divine beast that can be reborn from the ashes. Its divine consciousness is so powerful and stable that almost nothing can possess it.
However, Liu Yu had a new understanding of Lu Li's fondness for and appreciation of millet, and he felt more at ease leaving his younger apprentice to his older apprentice.
Shushu was unaware of Liu Yu's thoughts. At that moment, upon hearing that Lu Li was going to take her to the market, she was so happy that she almost jumped for joy.
She had only ever read about the markets in the cultivation world in novels, but after being here for so long, she had never even been inside one. Now that she was sure she could go, she was naturally very excited.
So, urged and excited by Shushu, Lu Li sent a telepathic message to Liu Yu, then put Shushu in his pocket, summoned his natal sword, and leaped up with a light touch of his toes.
Lu Li's natal sword had clearly developed sentience. After Lu Li went up, it headed towards the sect's exit on its own, without Lu Li needing to control it.
Soon, the man and the mouse arrived at the teleportation point between the inner and outer gates.
"Greetings, Senior Brother."
"Is Senior Brother going out?"
As soon as they arrived at the teleportation portal, the two disciples guarding the formation quickly bowed to Lu Li.
As the sect leader's eldest disciple, Lu Li also holds the highest status among the younger generation of the Liuyue Sect. Many disciples respectfully address him as Senior Brother, and he is also the undisputed leader of the newest generation of the Liuyue Sect.
As for Shushu, sorry, she's currently being held in the front of Lu Li's clothes, and the two disciples didn't notice. After all, they can't just look at someone's chest for no reason.
"Yes, yes, we need to go out."
Shushu was still excited about going to the market, and when he heard the two disciples' questions, he answered first without thinking.
Let her through quickly, she needs to get out!
"Greetings, Junior Sister."
The two disciples were startled when they suddenly heard Shushu's voice.
Following the sound, they saw that Shushu was mostly hidden inside Lu Li's clothes, with its two front paws tugging at Lu Li's collar, only its head sticking out, its two big, bright rat eyes staring at them.
Upon seeing the rat's head, the two disciples knew that this was the sect leader's newly accepted junior disciple, Lu Li's junior sister. Without thinking too much, they quickly offered their greetings.
After all, they were the sect leader's personal disciples, while he was just an ordinary inner disciple, not even a registered disciple. Naturally, he had to pay his respects to the personal disciples.
As for why the sect leader would take a little spirit mouse as his apprentice, the two disciples did not know and dared not speculate further.
Yes, back then, in order to protect Shushu, even in the announcements made by the inner sect of Liuyue Sect, Shushu was only a spirit rat, not a treasure-hunting rat.
Only a few peak masters and his disciples truly knew Shushu's identity, which was also to protect Shushu.
Back to the present, after the two disciples greeted Shushu again, Shushu urged them to quickly open the teleportation array, as she couldn't wait to go to the market.
Seeing her anxious, the two disciples dared not delay any longer and quickly opened the teleportation array, allowing the two of them to enter.
A flash of white light, and the man and the rat arrived at the outer gate. This was also the first time that Shushu had come to the outer gate of Liuyue Sect.
When she first came to Liuyue Sect, Liu Yu took her directly back to the inner sect's main peak. Afterwards, she followed Rabbit and the others around, but she only stayed in the inner sect and never came to the outer sect.
Out of curiosity, Shushu glanced at the outer gate a few times before looking away: her current goal was the market, and she could look at the outer gate later.
Seeing her like this, Lu Li knew what she was thinking, so he didn't linger and took her out of the mountain gate, heading straight for the market.
Soon, the senior and junior disciples arrived at the city at the foot of Liuyue Sect Mountain.
