From the moment Millet was urged to return to her clan's territory, Millet knew that the Treasure-Hunting Rat clan was welcoming her back, and she was prepared to see many rats.
But when he actually saw it, Shushu was still quite startled.
In front of them, on a plaza roughly a quarter the size of the Liuyue Sect plaza, dozens of white, furry creatures were squatting densely packed together.
The furry creatures' eyes lit up when they saw them appear, and they all rushed over.
The millet and wheat that were originally following the millet on the left and right were also pushed away from the millet by this wave of impact.
No one knows which mouse made the first move, but anyway, everyone worked together to move the millet and wheat to the edge before the millet and wheat even had a chance to speak.
As for the sweet potato, it was surrounded in the very center, with one mouse going up to hug it and another mouse going up to cuddle it.
As someone who loves plush toys, I was completely captivated by this large group of round, white little balls.
She floated along, letting everyone kiss, hug, and lift her up high. She was incredibly happy, her big round eyes crinkling with laughter, and the corners of her mouth curving upwards as if they could reach the sky.
Completely unaware, the mouse parents had been chased to the outermost edge and were jumping up and down there.
She tried desperately to snatch her baby back, but everyone targeted her, making it impossible for her to squeeze in, let alone take the sweet potato away.
Then a loud bang came from the sky, and a brightly colored treasure-hunting mouse made a dazzling appearance. Everyone stopped what they were doing and retreated somewhat nervously, leaving enough space for it to land.
And so, this huge and beautifully colored treasure-hunting mouse landed right in front of Shushu, and their big eyes met.
The moment their eyes met, Shushu's pupils contracted sharply, and the colorful treasure-hunting rats...?
Shushu couldn't believe it. He looked at the other person, then at himself, and then at the white fuzz around him. His eyes were filled with confusion, amazement, and wonder.
Just as Shushu couldn't help but wonder whether the other party was naturally multicolored or dyed multicolored, another roar came from the sky.
"Shu Cai, don't corrupt my precious baby."
Along with the roar, a huge and familiar treasure-hunting rat also fell, exactly the same as the phantom that had urged them to return to their homeland.
The only difference is that the previous one was a phantom, while the one in front of me is a real object.
As soon as the treasure-hunting mouse landed, it shoved straight into the middle of the millet and the colorful thing opposite it—no, I should say the colorful millet—preventing the two mice from looking at each other any longer.
Shu Cai was not happy about this and immediately started shouting: "Shu Ye, what do you mean? What do you mean I'm corrupting the good boy? How could I corrupt the good boy? Explain yourself clearly."
Millet Leaf wasn't intimidated and immediately retorted, "Where won't you be corrupted? Look at your ugly fur. What good mouse would dye its white fur all sorts of colors? It's an eyesore."
Shu Cai retorted, "So what if it's colorful? It looks good, I dyed my hair that way because I like it, is that not allowed!"
As it spoke, it peeked out at the yam hidden behind the millet leaves: "Little one, do you think the colorful fur is pretty? Do you want some? I can dye it for you later."
These words immediately stirred up a hornet's nest. Shu Ye roared and raised her paw to strike Shu Cai: "You still want to lead my good little one to dye his fur? I'll beat you to death."
Shu Cai, unwilling to suffer a loss, immediately raised its claws to meet the attack.
In an instant, the two mice, one white and one multicolored, started fighting.
Fortunately, they knew their limits, avoiding the larger creatures and not using spiritual power, instead fighting directly with their physical bodies.
If you scratch me, I'll scratch you back; if you pull my fur, I'll pull yours back; if you want me, I'll bite you back.
Soon, all sorts of colorful fluff fell around them, leaving the yam dumbfounded, so much so that it forgot to back away.
If other mice hadn't pulled her away in time, she might have been accidentally injured by the two mice that were playing wildly.
Look at the two mice fighting so intently in the middle of the field, and then look around at the sunflower seeds and spirit fruits they skillfully pull out and are happily munching on.
Even the little potato's claws were stuffed with a lot of stuff, and the little potato didn't know what to say.
Looking at the two Mahayana stage rats, Shushu realized he couldn't possibly pull them apart, so he simply went with the flow and started munching on sunflower seeds and spiritual fruits.
After she had finished gnawing on what was in her paws, the two other animals stopped.
The result was naturally a draw; neither side won nor lost.
However, both rats had quite a few scratches on their faces and bodies. They skillfully each took out a spirit herb, crunched it up, and then put away their fur.
The two mice tidied themselves up, glared at each other, and then put on gentle expressions before walking over to the yam.
Before Shu Cai could speak, Shu Ye spoke first: "My little one, I'm your grandpa. Welcome home."
After saying that, it went up to give Shushu a big hug and stuffed a storage ring into Shushu's paw.
However, after only a short while, the millet leaf was unceremoniously pulled away from behind.
Shu Cai also squeezed in, smiling at Shu Shu: "Little one, I'm your second grandfather. If you ever need anything, just come to me."
With a hearty pat on her chest, Shu Cai also slipped a storage ring into Shu Shu's paw. Needless to say, this was a gift for meeting him.
Shushu found it amusing. Clutching the two storage rings, she sweetly said, "Thank you, Second Grandpa." Seeing the expectant look in Shuye's eyes behind her, she didn't show favoritism: "Thank you, Grandpa, too."
When the two mice heard their little ones call them, their mouths curled up into wild smiles. They nodded vigorously and loudly replied, "Yes, good."
After replying, the two mice realized that the other's answer was the same as their own. They looked away, glared at each other, snorted, and turned their faces away.
Then, Shu Cai glanced at Shu Chi, who was standing side by side with Shu Li and Shu Mai. Her pupils constricted, and she couldn't help but call out, "Ancestor Chi."
The sound wasn't quiet, and the millet leaf beside it naturally heard it too. Following its gaze, it indeed saw a long-lost yet somewhat familiar figure.
At that moment, the millet leaf also exclaimed in surprise, "Ancestor Chi!" As it called out, it rushed over excitedly, stammering, "Ancestor Chi, you are still alive! That's wonderful, that's wonderful!"
After sighing, it seemed to remember something and quickly crushed several jade slips.
Almost at the instant the jade slip was crushed, several enormous treasure-hunting rats that had been sleeping deep underground opened their tightly closed eyes at the same time.
When they released their divine senses and sensed the millet and yam on the square, they all paused.
The next moment, they all chose to leave the pass without hesitation.
