When Shushu opened his eyes again, he found himself in a pitch-black place, without any light, so he couldn't see his surroundings.
Even her mind was blank. She felt that the scene was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
After thinking about it for a while, she got tired of thinking about it and simply lay down flat, starting to snore.
A moment later, a soft snoring sound filled the room, indicating that the owner had fallen asleep.
This carefree attitude left the green figure behind them speechless.
I seriously suspect that the millet shrank its brain because it turned into a seed.
However, seeing the other sleeping so soundly, it couldn't help but yawn, even bringing tears to its eyes, before realizing it wasn't time to sleep yet.
The green figure instantly snapped back to reality.
The next moment, a very, very tiny ray of light suddenly shone on the yam, shining directly into its eyes.
The yam was fast asleep at that moment, and without the slightest hesitation, it turned over and buried its eyes in its body, showing its refusal to wake up.
Upon seeing this, the green figure couldn't help but twitch its lips. Immediately afterward, the light grew even brighter, illuminating the entire space and causing the temperature to rise gradually.
Finally, the sorghum couldn't sleep anymore. It stretched and opened its still drowsy eyes, looking around.
I found myself in an irregularly shaped elliptical space, as if I were inside the shell of some kind of creature.
The sweet potato stared blankly for a moment. Shell? What's that?
However, before it could think any further, a voice in its heart suddenly urged it to break out of its shell. Spring had arrived, and it should sprout.
For some reason, the sweet potato sprouts when spring arrives, but it certainly doesn't like being confined in this space.
Therefore, it obeyed the command of the voice, mustered all its strength, and absorbed all the surrounding light into its body.
Then, its body gradually grew larger, and soon it grew to the size that could reach the top.
When the yam nudged its head, the thing that was trapping it instantly cracked.
Through the cracks, the sweet potato can not only feel the fresh air outside, but also see the wonderful world outside.
The yam's eyes lit up, and it worked even harder, absorbing the light while pushing upwards with all its might.
Finally, through its tireless perseverance, a tiny sprout broke through the soil and emerged as a pure spirit herb.
The Cleansing Grass was initially small, with only one straight stem.
Gradually, as its roots absorbed nutrients from the soil, its stem also absorbed sunlight, rain, and unknown nutrients from the air, and it grew bigger and bigger.
Soon, it surpassed all the creatures around it and discovered that it was different from everyone else.
For some reason, it didn't think this was a good thing; instead, it felt a vague sense of unease.
This unease reached its peak when it discovered that a creature that could run and jump had appeared within its perception range.
Seeing the creature staring at him with shining eyes and licking him with its drooling mouth, Shushu was terrified, feeling like he could be eaten at any moment.
This feeling was terrible; it lived in constant fear, praying in its heart every day: "Don't eat me, don't eat me."
Unfortunately, its prayers seemed to have no effect. As time went by, the creature's gaze toward it grew even more ardent.
So, when one day another living being discovered him and fought with the previous one over ownership, the yam ran away without hesitation.
Afterwards, to save its own life, it learned to hide itself without being taught, and learned to conceal its aura, hiding itself among a group of ordinary, ubiquitous spiritual herbs.
Its disguise was probably not very effective, and it was eventually discovered by a celestial lord named Lu Li, who then took it away.
Of course, it was also lucky, because Immortal Lord Lu Li did not eat it or use it to refine pills, but instead kept it on the windowsill of his palace.
Not only would it feed itself delicious food, but it would also read to itself and teach itself cultivation and all the common sense of this world.
The millet finally understood its role among the creatures of this world. The Spirit Purifying Grass was actually a spiritual herb that purified spiritual roots. Whether it was a human or a beast, eating it could improve one's aptitude.
To put it simply, it's a treasure that everyone wants.
This discovery further solidified Shushu's determination to stay by Lu Li Xianjun's side.
And so, Shushu followed Lu Li and gradually grew until he cultivated into a human.
Over the years, she gradually developed feelings for the person who had protected her all the way, which eventually turned into love.
Just as Shushu mustered all her courage to confess her feelings to him, reality dealt her a heavy blow: Lu Li was engaged.
That day, she dressed up carefully, wearing her most beautiful robes, and went to find Lu Li with great confidence.
Instead, Lu Li told her with a smile that he had finally won over the fairy he loved and that they were about to get engaged and become Daoist partners.
At that moment, Shushu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Looking at Lu Li, who was genuinely happy, she couldn't even remember what she was feeling when she left.
But no matter what, she knew that she could no longer express her feelings, otherwise she would only be kicked out.
She didn't want to leave Lu Li, so she ultimately chose to hide her feelings, watching Lu Li happily welcome that person into the house, and watching the two of them being affectionate in front of her.
Even though her heart was breaking, she could only desperately control her expression, not daring to show the slightest abnormality, as if punishing herself, watching year after year.
In the end, this suppressed emotion was discovered, not by Lu Li, but by his Daoist partner.
That woman is quite formidable. She has nothing, but she injured her spiritual root under some pretext and needs the Cleansing Grass to heal it.
Despite his terrible acting, Lu Li believed him and pointed his sword at himself without hesitation, intending to use him to refine pills.
Looking at the person opposite her, Shushu felt that the other person was extremely unfamiliar. It was not the Lu Li she knew at all, nor her senior brother.
Almost as soon as the title "senior brother" appeared, Shushu felt as if he had been struck by lightning and immediately woke up.
With a sharp look in his eyes, he delivered a fierce blow to the fake Lu Li, who was about to thrust his sword at him.
In an instant, the dream shattered, and the millet fell towards the final layer.
