Lu Li led a group of spirit beasts to check if they could enter the secret realm. It took them only a quarter of an hour to reach their destination.
Before they even got close, Liu Yu, who had sensed their presence, came out first and greeted them.
"You're here, come in. Oh, Little Millet is here too. Not bad, you've all learned how to use the flying machine."
Almost immediately, he spotted Little Millet, who was sitting on the butterfly flying vehicle and had followed him, among a group of senior brothers and sisters. His smile widened as he praised her.
"Master."
It had been quite a while since Shushu had seen Liuyu, and Shushu was very happy to see him.
Because of her small stature, she didn't put away her flying vehicle like her senior brothers and sisters did, but instead stayed in the flying vehicle.
Hearing Liu Yu praising her, she couldn't resist and immediately flew over to greet him.
In fact, the longer Shushu spent as a treasure-hunting mouse, the more the events of her previous life seemed to gradually fade from her mind.
Nowadays, Shushu, both in her mindset and her actions, is gradually becoming closer to the actual age of her original self, the little treasure-hunting mouse.
Many times, when Shushu thinks back to his life, it feels like a dream, incredibly unreal.
In the end, it was still the sorghum that worried that the memories of being human would be forgotten over time as a mouse.
While he could still recall it completely, he engraved that experience into a jade slip and occasionally took it out to look at it, which prevented him from completely forgetting that experience.
Even so, the impact of his human experiences on Shushu has faded considerably, and Shushu is now truly growing up according to the actual age of the treasure-hunting mouse.
Of course, no matter what, Shushu will never forget this memory of Wen Jianxi, because it is deeply ingrained in his bones and soul, constantly reminding him.
"Does Little Potato also want to go to the secret realm?"
Liu Yu was unaware of Shushu's affairs. He only felt that after not seeing her for a while, his little apprentice's personality was more in line with her age, and she no longer had that childish pretense of being an adult.
However, Liu Yu didn't think much of it, assuming that she had finally found a master, had loving fellow disciples, a safe place to live and a safe environment, which greatly reduced her psychological pressure and made her relax.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu not only did not blame Shushu for being ignorant, but also felt that she was better now. He gently patted her head with affection and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I want to go to the secret realm."
Shushu wasn't unhappy about having his head patted; he even rubbed against Liu Yu's palm.
This rubbing accidentally tilted the hat to the side, revealing a patch of fur that barely covered the head.
'Master, don't ask about Mao Mao.'
Liu Yu was momentarily stunned when he looked at the short, hairy creature. Upon closer inspection, he realized that his little apprentice's fur was almost all the same.
He was even more puzzled. Was his little apprentice shedding its fur? Otherwise, why would its fur be getting shorter and shorter? Could the treasure-hunting rat be a mythical beast that sheds its fur?
Just as he was about to speak and ask what was going on, he heard Lu Li's voice transmission in his ear.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu quickly asked telepathically, "What's going on?"
To be honest, he has never raised a treasure-hunting rat. As for divine beasts, apart from Shushu, he has only raised one, Lu Li. The others are either spirit beasts or mutated spirit beasts.
When he found Lu Li, Lu Li was already past infancy and didn't need him to worry about her at all; she could take good care of herself.
Therefore, he really had no experience in raising and caring for mythical beast cubs.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I just came to watch me refine weapons and got accidentally burned by the phoenix fire. I was worried it would affect its growth, so I shaved it all off. These are just new growths; they haven't fully grown yet."
Faced with Liu Yu's gaze, Lu Li offered a somewhat guilty explanation.
It was indeed his negligence that led to the accident. He forgot to tell Phoenix Fire what to do and also forgot to control the temperature of Phoenix Fire.
He hadn't expected that his Phoenix Fire Spirit would rush over to the millet without saying a word upon seeing it.
According to Phoenix Fire Spirit, it had previously trained Shushu's body and was an old acquaintance of Shushu, so it wanted to greet Shushu when it saw him.
Unexpectedly, the yam, which was supposed to be good at body tempering, had most of its fur burned off as soon as it touched the yam. The yam thought it was immune to phoenix fire.
Lu Li still remembers the grievance the Phoenix Fire Spirit felt when he scolded it. It was only after some comforting and explanation from Lu Li that the Phoenix Fire Spirit finally understood.
There's no other way; the Fire Spirit has only just awakened its intelligence, and it still needs to be taught everything.
Fortunately, his junior sister was kind-hearted. After learning the truth, she comforted him and Huo Ling, which warmed his heart.
Of course, he didn't let his junior sister suffer any losses. He had already discussed it with the Phoenix Fire Spirit and agreed that once his junior sister reached the Golden Core stage and her ability to withstand the damage was sufficient, he would give her a wisp of Phoenix Fire.
However, he hasn't told Shushu about this yet, lest Shushu think he's urging her to cultivate and improve her cultivation level.
Be more careful next time.
After listening to Lu Li's explanation, Liu Yu understood the reason for the matter. After giving a few careful instructions, he pretended to be nonchalant and helped Shushu straighten his hat.
He knew that all girls loved beauty, after all, he was someone who had a Daoist partner, female disciples, and, well, a bunny.
Although rabbits often act like a king, they also love beauty.
"Ancestor, when can we go to the secret realm?"
Whoever he wanted could come. Just as Liu Yu remembered Rabbit, Rabbit hopped to his feet, stretched out a paw, and tugged at his trouser leg, asking...
"Yes, when can we go to the secret realm?"
Upon hearing this, Shushu's eyes lit up. Forget about acting cute with Liu Yu, she looked at Liu Yu expectantly and echoed Tutu's words.
"Let's go over there and take a look. Not everyone can get in; it depends on fate."
Liu Yu looked at Shushu, who was completely unaware of what had just happened, and then at Tutu, who was frantically tugging at his trouser leg. "Alright, enough talk, let's get going."
After saying that, he bent down, picked up the rabbit, and put it on one shoulder. Just as he was about to scoop up the sweet potato and put it on the other side, Lu Li beat him to it.
Seeing Lu Li already carrying a sweet potato, Liu Yu raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and led the group toward the entrance while holding the rabbit.
On the way, Lu Li stuffed another storage bag into Shushu's hand and told her to put it away, saying that it was prepared by the sect for every disciple going to the secret realm.
Upon hearing this, Shushu didn't hesitate and accepted the gift immediately, then gave Lu Li a smile.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the secret realm.
Shushu looked up and saw that the array patterns that once surrounded the broken array had disappeared, replaced by a stone staircase.
Walking down the stone steps a few steps, you'll see a tightly closed black stone door, its material unknown.
Above the main gate were four large characters: Black Flame Secret Realm.
