"Did you catch all of these in the passage?" After a brief moment of surprise, Shushu first conjured several isolation arrays, then threw out an array plate before asking with some disbelief.
Her response was a string of babyish "yes," and those whose heads were clearly visible would nod their heads, while those whose heads were unclear would shake their heads up and down.
Tianluo shook the vines so violently that even Shushu wanted to cover his eyes.
After thinking it over carefully, she realized that the little guys had done something worthwhile, so she wasn't stingy and took out several spirit stones, giving one to each of them as a reward.
Seeing that everyone happily accepted the gifts, Shushu then focused his attention on the group of furry creatures that were tied up.
These furry creatures were all in their infancy, and their cultivation levels were naturally not very high. When they noticed the gaze of the gluttonous potato, they all shrank back.
Even when bound and unable to move by the Heavenly Net, it still struggles desperately to get closer to its companions for comfort.
Some of the more timid ones had tears welling up in their eyes, ready to fall at any moment.
Seeing their pitiful little faces, even the little potato almost thought it was a heinous villain who had scared them so much.
In this state, it's naturally impossible to ask questions.
After thinking for a moment, a brilliant idea flashed in Shushu's mind. In front of everyone, he performed a magical transformation, turning into an adorable and exquisite little mouse, which even squeaked unconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, she noticed that the way the group of bound, furry creatures were looking at her had indeed changed; they were no longer cowering in fear.
One of the little purple foxes and one little white tiger stared at him for a long time. After they came to their senses, their eyes turned to Shushu with eagerness and a hint of admiration.
This was exactly what Shushu wanted. Seizing the opportunity, she took out two milk fruits and handed them to the two little guys, while indicating to Tianluo that he could loosen the vines on them.
Young cubs are naturally defenseless against milk fruit.
As soon as the milk fruit is served, a rich milky aroma wafts out.
Not only the little purple fox and the little white tiger, but also all the other fluffy creatures that had been crying earlier, all looked over and stared at Milk Fruit, drooling without any spirit.
Shushu could even hear the little ones swallowing.
Instantly, the smile in Shushu's eyes became even more obvious. Seeing that the little purple fox and the little white tiger were still staring wide-eyed in disbelief, he even poked them with his paw, signaling them to catch it quickly.
This poke immediately brought the two little ones back to their senses. They instinctively reached out and hugged Milk Fruit, then thanked Millet in their sweet, childlike voices, "Thank you~"
The voice was drawn out and sounded particularly childish. The child was reluctant to put down the milk fruit, holding it so fondly, showing no intention of drinking it.
Seeing that their saliva was practically dripping onto the fruit and their eyes were glued to the milk fruit without them taking a bite, Shushu couldn't help but wonder, "Why aren't you drinking it?"
The next moment, she heard two replies that were accompanied by swallowing.
"Leave it to the boss."
"Yes, it should be left for the eldest brother."
So this is an organized group! Now Sweet Potato was even more curious: "Why save it for the boss? Doesn't your boss allow you to eat it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two little ones, who had previously admired Shushu, immediately turned on him and started yelling at him indignantly.
"No, you're not allowed to say bad things about the boss."
"That's right, that's right, the boss isn't a bad beast."
Watching the two little purple fox and little white tiger arguing vehemently in front of him, filled with indignation and forgetting everything else, determined to vindicate their leader, Shushu was speechless for a moment.
Then, a greater sense of curiosity welled up inside me. I wondered who their leader was, that these kids would protect him so fiercely.
Yes, it was this group, because when the little purple fox and the little white tiger talked about their leader, all the cubs' eyes were filled with admiration and respect.
Not only Shushu Luli noticed this, but Tianchen and the others did too. Tianchen even casually asked, "Who's your boss?"
The answer, naturally, came in unison from two soft, childlike voices: "The boss is the boss!"
These words were like saying "hearing a wise man's words is like hearing a lecture," meaning they were said without saying anything at all. Tianchen was taken aback, and then it turned into a heart-wrenching mode.
He first gave a mocking "heh," then slowly continued, "You all like your boss so much, but we've been holding you captive for ages and your boss hasn't come to rescue you. I'm afraid he doesn't want you anymore."
These words were like stabbing someone in the back. The few animals that were already teary-eyed suddenly burst into tears.
If Tianluo hadn't covered their mouths with vines, there would probably be a chorus of cries by now.
But Tianchen didn't feel guilty at all, even though some of the foxes were crying their eyes out.
However, the little purple fox and the little white tiger were not having it. They struggled desperately to come over and beat it up, while still talking back.
"You're talking nonsense. The boss would never abandon us."
"That's right, that's right. The boss just can't come out, but he's really good to us."
"That's right, if it weren't for our boss protecting us, we would have been dead long ago."
"You naughty fox, I hate you the most, boohoo~"
"Wow~ Boss, boohoo~"
As they talked, the little purple fox and the little white tiger became more and more heartbroken and saddened. Unable to control themselves, they burst into tears.
Perhaps influenced by their environment, knowing they were not safe, the two little ones suppressed their cries even when they were crying and hiccuping, and dared not cry out loud.
For some reason, everyone present felt a lump in their throats seeing that pitiful little face.
Even Tian Chen, the instigator, was no exception; regret and self-blame flashed in his fox-like eyes.
After hesitating for a while, Tianchen took out two milk fruits that he had previously traded with Shushu, walked hesitantly to the little purple fox and the little white tiger, and stuffed the milk fruits into their arms.
"Here, take the milk fruit. Don't cry anymore. I... I promise I'll never speak ill of your boss again."
"My boss is a good beast."
"Yes, yes, I misspoke, I'm sorry."
"Okay, we forgive you."
So the two little ones were finally coaxed into smiling through their tears. They held onto the milk fruit tightly, showing how much they loved it and were reluctant to let go.
Then, after some conversation, the little purple fox and the little white tiger whispered to each other for a while before finally agreeing to lead everyone to their den.
After many twists and turns, we arrived at the edge of a deep pool.
Before they even got close, people were already shouting "Boss!" one after another.
