Shu Chi was pulled back by Shu Shu, and stopped hitting the rats. He still glared at the two big rats before turning to look at Shu Shu. His face instantly turned kind as he gently rubbed Shu Shu's head.
“My child, don’t be sad. Your ancestor is here. Your ancestor will teach them a lesson for you.”
The speed at which it changed its expression was astonishing; every beast around it gasped in surprise, realizing it had two faces!
As for Shushu, feeling the gentle caress on its head, its heart warmed, and it couldn't help but hug its ancestor's furry paws and start to act coquettishly: "I know, ancestor is the best."
Out of the corner of his eye, Shushu noticed the two mice looking at him with longing eyes. He could clearly feel the love in their eyes, as well as the emotion of desire mixed with fear of disappointment.
After thinking for a moment, Shushu still offered a small explanation: "Ancestor, they shouldn't disown me." After all, the love in his eyes was undeniable.
Shushu didn't say the last sentence explicitly, but Shuchi understood. Following her gaze, he saw the two rats looking pitiful, their eyes pleading for him to get closer, yet also filled with nervousness.
After giving them a disdainful look, Shu Chi rubbed Shu Shu's little head and whispered something to him.
'My little rascal, your ancestor is avenging you. Those two are like saw-off gourds, never bothering to greet us.'
Okay, so this is just an excuse to get rid of them, I get it, Potato.
Then, she shut up. It was best not to interfere if the ancestor wanted to discipline the younger generation, Shushu thought honestly.
Just then, the two mice over there, seeing the close relationship between the grandfather and grandson, were quite envious.
Although she was still a little afraid of Shu Chi's fists, she couldn't suppress her longing and desire for her own cub, and quietly moved closer and closer.
The glutinous rice and the millet chi were aware of their actions. The millet chi was fine, but the glutinous rice was a little nervous.
The claws loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again, and finally took a deep breath, mustering the courage to look at them.
Just as they were about to greet each other, Shuli cut in front of Shushu, first glancing at Shuchi, then carefully looking at Shushu, and began to explain.
“Baby, we really don’t disown you, we were just too shocked.”
Shumai, standing nearby, chimed in with a quiet explanation: "Mainly because we didn't expect the little one to be a rabbit."
When the word 'rabbit' was mentioned, Shumai secretly glanced at Shushu's expression, not knowing whether she was worried that Shushu would be angry or for some other reason.
Only after she mentioned it did Shushu realize his pretense and understand that it was all a misunderstanding.
Just as he was about to remove the heavy shields on his body, he caught a glimpse of the surrounding spirit beasts and realized that this was not a suitable place, so he could only turn to Shu Chi for help.
Shu Chi was very perceptive and immediately looked at the two rats who were staring intently at the millet: "This is not the place to talk." The implication was that they should find somewhere else.
The millet and wheat understood, exchanged a glance, and then thought of a good place, transmitting their thoughts to each other.
"Ancestor, little one, if we go a little further ahead, we'll reach the outer perimeter of our clan's territory. It's definitely safe there. What do you think?" The last sentence was addressed to Shu Chi.
After hearing this, the whole rat was stunned. It clearly remembered that there was no place called Zixiao Mountain near the territory of the treasure-hunting rat clan.
But soon it remembered that it had been dead for tens of millions of years, and that the relocation or changes of its territory were perfectly normal. So it was relieved, nodded, and agreed to their suggestion.
So, Shushu quickly retrieved Chengxu, who had just completed his tribulation, and the four guardians. Under the protection of Shumai and Shuli, they headed to the place they had indicated.
Soon, the group arrived at a lush forest, and after winding their way through the trees, they stopped at the foot of a thick tree.
The sorghum thought it was going to rest, but then it saw that the leading millet and wheat showed no sign of stopping and walked straight toward the tree trunk.
The glutinous rice ball paused, about to speak up to warn the millet, when it discovered that the millet had simply passed through the tree and disappeared.
Curiosity gleamed in Shushu's eyes, and without hesitation, he followed.
Then, Shushu felt as if she had passed through a thin barrier, and the scene before her eyes was completely new. The millet that had been missing before was now smiling at her from a few steps away.
The glutinous rice ball felt a little embarrassed by the stares, pursed its lips, and didn't say anything.
Just then, Shu Chi and Shu Li caught up from behind, and the group continued on their way.
A quarter of an hour later, they stopped in front of a giant tree again. The millet claws pressed down on the tree, and a closed gate quickly appeared on the tree trunk.
Another wisp of energy was sent upwards, and the door opened in response. Millet and wheat went in first, followed by millet and yam, then millet and chi, and finally millet and chestnut.
As the four of them entered, the door in the tree disappeared silently, and the tree remained the same, showing no signs of abnormality.
Meanwhile, the millet, already familiar with the place, led the millet to a naturally formed cave.
After everyone came in, she quickly set up a barrier and looked at the yam and the chestnut beside it.
Seeing this, the millet understood their meaning and, without hesitation, began to remove layer after layer of shields from its body.
A short while later, a treasure-hunting mouse, similar in appearance to millet and sorghum but smaller, appeared before the two mice.
Along with it appeared the bloodline pull that was previously impossible to detect.
Overwhelmed by a sense of warmth, Shumai, who had been holding back her anxiety the whole way, could no longer contain herself and choked out a sentence.
"He's my baby, he really is my baby."
After saying that, she disregarded everything and stepped forward to hug Shushu tightly in her arms. The tears she had been holding back for so long finally burst forth and fell drop by drop onto Shushu in her arms.
Seeing this, Shuli couldn't control his emotions either. He stepped forward and hugged his wife and daughter, his eyes also glistening with tears.
Shushu suddenly felt herself sink into a soft embrace, and then, along with the soft embrace, she was pulled into a broad and warm embrace.
Feeling the dampness on the fur, Shushu felt a lump in her throat. As she reached out her paws to hug him back, she couldn't help but burst into tears as well.
Instantly, the entire cave was filled with sobbing sounds. Even the millet worm beside him couldn't help but wipe its eyes, although there were actually no tears in its eyes.
Because the Soul Clan cannot shed tears.
