"call out!"
"Sizzle~"
Caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the fake Lu Li, Shushu was shocked, and the pressure he was applying to the phoenix flames unconsciously loosened.
Then, the little Phoenix Flame seized the opportunity and darted out of Shushu's sea of consciousness, transforming into a streak of light and heading towards the fake Lu Li on the other side.
Upon reaching the fake Lu Li, the tiny phoenix flame instantly transformed into a massive fire net, enveloping the fake Lu Li entirely.
As soon as Shushu saw the phoenix flame escape, she instinctively tried to stop it, but the little guy was just too fast, and she couldn't catch him no matter what she wanted to do.
Seeing that the little guy had already darted away, Shushu knew he couldn't keep up the act any longer. Before Qu Rumei and the others could react, he quickly broke free from the restraints on his hands and feet and moved away from where he stood.
Sure enough, almost the instant she left her spot, three different attacks landed on the exact location she had just been standing. If she hadn't dodged quickly, she would have become a target.
However, this completely exposed Shushu, and Qu Rumei on the other side immediately noticed her odd behavior, her voice sharp: "You're a spiritual cultivator!"
These words caused a stir, and not only were Hei Youran and Hei Yuan surprised, but even the fake Lu Li, who was fighting with the Phoenix Flame, exclaimed in disbelief.
"How is that possible? How could there be any spiritual cultivators in the Demon Realm besides me?"
He paused for a moment, muttering to himself as he fought the phoenix flames.
"No, no, how could you have the Phoenix Fire Emperor? Could it be that you...you are Lu Li?"
He practically spat out the name 'Lu Li' through gritted teeth, and without waiting for Shushu's response, he was already convinced that Shushu was Lu Li.
"I knew I couldn't find you anywhere in the Spirit Realm. Turns out you were hiding in the Demon Realm. Lu Li, Lu Li, I never thought you'd end up like this. The mighty Phoenix King is actually hiding in the Demon Realm like a stray dog. It's so satisfying, hahaha!"
After laughing, he ignored the Phoenix Flame that was still fighting and headed straight for the Potato, spewing threats as he charged.
"Last time, it was my father's carelessness that allowed you to escape. This time, you have fallen into my hands. Your royal blood will belong to me, Lu Chu. Once I absorb your essence, I will be the true Phoenix Emperor. Then, let's see which of the Feather Clan will dare to disobey me, Lu Chu."
In the end, Lu Chu's eyes were filled with greed, and he rushed towards the millet without regard for anything else, looking ruthless as if he wouldn't give up until he got the millet.
From his string of words, Shushu also learned who this person was.
Lu Chu is the son of Lu Zhao, who led the rebellion and attempted to kill Lu Li.
After meeting his employer, Lu Li told Shushu all about these grudges, so that Shushu could be wary of these people if he encountered them in the future. And just like that, they happened to meet.
Back to the present, Shushu watched as Lu Chu rapidly attacked him.
Disliking that he looked like her senior brother and looked at her with that expression, she took a small black ball given to her by her master Liu Yu and threw it at his head without hesitation.
The instant he threw the object, Shushu himself was also desperately retreating, and rapidly activating the high-level talisman he was carrying.
The next moment, a loud bang was heard, and the small black ball hit Lu Chu squarely and exploded on his body.
The aftershocks alone sent Qu Rumei and the other two flying backward, crashing heavily around the stone chamber, and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.
Lu Chu, who was at the center of the little black ball, was blown into a charred mess, his whole body covered in black soot, and Lu Li's appearance could no longer be seen.
As for Shushu, thanks to activating the high-level talisman in time, the power of the little black ball was completely blocked by the talisman, leaving him unharmed, without even losing a single hair.
Looking at the piece of charcoal that was spitting black smoke, Shushu finally found it more pleasing to the eye and realized that he had thoroughly angered the other party.
Instead of fighting them head-on, she flew straight towards where Cheng Ying and the others were hiding, shouting as she flew, "Seniors, it's your turn! Charge!"
Then, Shushu became a spectator, protected by Cheng Ying and the male demonic cultivator who had given her the storage ring earlier, calmly watching the other two chase after Lu Chu.
Also, there's Hei Qingyu, Hei Youran, and the other two.
Yes, the moment she appeared, Hei Qingyu's target was Hei Youran and the other two. Amidst their terrified, bloodshot eyes, she ruthlessly dragged them in front of her.
She didn't want to listen to Hei Youran's excuses, so she directly gagged her and made her slap herself in the face.
In no time, the three of them had swollen faces like pigs. Hei Qingyu kindly gave them a high-grade pill, and after they recovered, they continued to slap each other.
This cycle repeated itself, and before long, all three of them looked utterly devastated.
Shushu thought of the time when Qu Rumei tried to kick him, and how they drugged him and kidnapped him.
Although Qu Rumei's kick didn't actually land on him, that didn't stop Shushu from holding a grudge.
Therefore, after watching the three of them slap themselves for quite a while...
Once he realized they couldn't break free, Shushu excitedly rushed over and kicked Qu Rumei twice, knocking her to the ground.
Facing Qu Rumei's hateful glare and the equally glaring eyes of the two people beside her, Shushu raised an eyebrow and pulled out the long-lost Thorn Flame Sunflower from his spatial storage.
After sifting through a pile of artificially enhanced thorny sunflowers, Shushu finally picked out three plants that she thought were quite effective.
Without showing favoritism, he swiftly stabbed each of the three of them in three quick strokes.
The next moment, painful laughter echoed from the cave, accompanied by the sound of slapping oneself and the sound of pupae frantically crawling on the ground, looking as if they were unbearably itchy.
In short, Cheng Ying and the others looked at Shushu with extremely complicated expressions, probably because they didn't expect her to have these things.
Finally, seeing that the symptoms of the three people had not improved at all after taking the antidote pills, Cheng Ying and the other two set their sights on Shushu's thorny sunflower and wanted to trade with her.
After all, when you're out and about, everyone has a few enemies they don't want to lose too quickly.
So, after finding out how well the millet and its other products performed, the group decided to trade with the millet. And that's how the millet's thorny sunflower business ended up in the hands of the demon king.
Meanwhile, after Shushu exchanged the Spiny Flame Sunflowers with the three of them, the two on the other side finally managed to capture Lu Chu with the help of the Phoenix Flame.
