"You smell wonderful, I think you're a real gem."
Tianlu Yinlu was completely unaware of Shushu's sly, ever-ready little claws, and blurted it out so casually, even the end of her voice carrying a hint of pleasure.
"Sweet potato, what are you again?"
After a pause, Tianlu asked another question, and a vine also emerged from the tangled branches, curiously examining the millet and sweet potato.
Actually, it didn't know what a sweet potato was; it just instinctively felt that it was a precious treasure, so it wanted to protect it.
On the other hand, it also feels that the other party is beneficial to it, just like the dark green boulder that it is now firmly protected by its roots.
If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have been able to grow up so quickly; it might have taken a very, very long time.
"Ah, I am a member of the Spirit Rat clan. What kind of smell are you talking about? I can't smell it."
Shushu never expected that the reason Tianlu Yinlu wanted to capture her was because she smelled nice.
She lowered her head and sniffed herself several times with her little nose, but couldn't smell anything. She couldn't help but wonder if the other person had also evolved the senses of the treasure-hunting rat clan.
However, she was also careful and did not reveal her true identity directly. Instead, she continued to deceive the other party, saying that she was just a little spirit mouse.
Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. Treasure-hunting rats are still rats, but they are ancestors of spirit rats for countless generations, and are much more advanced than spirit rats.
Anyway, she was carrying a concealment artifact and had the Concealment Technique, so the other party couldn't tell her where she was.
"It smells really, really good."
When Tianlu heard Shushu say that it was a little spirit mouse, it was a little disappointed, but when it thought of the pleasant scent on Shushu, it became happy again.
Although its limited knowledge told it that the spirit rat wasn't anything special, it figured that since it could mutate, the millet must also be a mutated spirit rat, and very powerful.
"Is that why you're arresting me?"
He couldn't find out exactly what the glutinous rice tasted like, and was a little conflicted. After thinking for a moment, he tried a different approach to ask.
Right now, she doesn't want to beat up Tianluo Yinlu. She just wants to know why the other party wants to capture her, so that she can deal with it in a better way.
Otherwise, if every plant tries to catch her, she'll become a walking hot commodity, which won't do.
If a shrewd one comes along and isn't as easily fooled as the one in front of her, she'll be in real danger. It's best to investigate thoroughly so she can take precautions in the future.
“I’m not trying to capture you, I want to protect you, and I think you’re beneficial to my spiritual practice.”
When pressed by Shushu, Tianlu answered almost without thinking, showing that she was as naive and easily fooled as ever.
When Shushu heard the previous part, he thought the other party wanted to become a guardian beast. After all, divine beasts usually have guardian beasts by their side, so it wouldn't be strange for a plant to want to become a guardian spirit plant.
When she heard the rest, she realized something was wrong. The beginning was just a side thing; the real purpose of the Heavenly Silk Tree was what came later.
Thinking of this, Shushu clenched her little fists, narrowed her rat-like eyes, and was about to trick it into giving her another Thunderfire Talisman when she suddenly realized that she could use this as an excuse to run away with it.
So, the little potato quietly loosened its clenched little paws and said in a tempting tone.
"Tianluo, do you want to come with me? It will be good for your cultivation. Besides, I belong to a sect. My second master uncle is very good at making pills, and he also has spiritual liquids that are useful for spiritual plants."
As she spoke, Shushu took out a number of gifts that her second uncle had given her when they first met.
They took out quite a few pills and spiritual liquids, and even uncorked the bottles so that Tianluo could smell them.
The pills are specially formulated to be consumed by all kinds of spirit beasts and plants, not to mention the spirit liquid, which is specially formulated to supplement the diet of the spirit plants and herbs of each peak.
"What is this? It smells so good!"
As soon as the stopper was removed, Tianluo Yinlu immediately smelled the medicinal fragrance of the pill and the rich spiritual energy in the spiritual liquid. It intuitively felt that both of these things would be very useful to it.
In an instant, it forgot its fear and slowly unfurled its tangled vines, many of which stretched out to a spot not far in front of the millet, trying to smell the fragrance of the elixir and the spiritual liquid.
If they had faces right now, they would probably have very blissful little expressions on them.
Seeing this, Shushu knew that things were going to work. In order to get the fish to take the bait, she had to let them taste the bait. She then handed a bottle of pills and a bottle of spiritual liquid to the vine.
"Is this for me? Thank you!"
Tianluo's gaze was already following the pills and spiritual liquids, so it was somewhat surprised to see Shushu doing so. After confirming with Shushu that they were for it, it happily accepted them and didn't forget to thank them.
Then Shushu saw the other party extend two vines, which quickly snatched the things from her hands and then, with a whoosh, wrapped up the pills and spiritual liquid and returned to the root system.
In no time, they disappeared into the lush greenery, and the next moment, Shushu heard Tianluo's surprised little voice.
"Wow, this tastes so good! And this tastes so good too! Wow, my spiritual power has increased a bit, and my root system is stronger now."
Clearly, this guy is drinking spiritual liquid and taking pills, and the effects seem pretty good.
Hearing Tianluo's excited voice and looking at the vines in front of her that were so happy that their leaves were dancing, Shushu silently gave her second uncle a thumbs up.
Hmph~ What she just took were her favorite pills and the best spiritual liquid.
After the spiritual liquid was sprinkled down, the spiritual trees in her space grew a bit. She couldn't believe that this wild, untouched Tianluo wouldn't be tempted.
"Sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, do you also have pills and elixirs? I'll trade you vines for them."
Sure enough, the next moment, the sorghum saw a main root thicker than any other vine, carrying a bunch of detached vines, heading towards it.
Seeing this, Shushu didn't say anything, but just stared at her, making it impossible for Shu to tell what she was thinking.
"Shushu, don't worry, these vines are very useful. They were shed when I evolved for the first time. Carrying them with you can drive away inner demons."
Seeing that Shushu remained silent, Tianluo assumed she was unaware of the benefits of vines and launched into a sales pitch.
"I know, but I just feel that even if you traded all the vines for me, you wouldn't get many pills and spirit liquids. Once I leave, you'll finish them all quickly. What will you do then?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Shushu stopped being silent and buried his head, pretending to be deep in thought about Tianluo Yinlu. He spoke with concern, making sure to look worried, while constantly glancing at the other person's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that Tianluo's entire vine looked somewhat wilted after hearing her words, she said, seemingly offering a suggestion but actually coaxing him:
"You might as well come with me to the Liuyue Sect. You'll have an endless supply of pills and spiritual liquids. Wouldn't that be better? Don't you agree?"
After saying that, Shushu thoughtfully gave the other person time to think and then stopped talking.
It wasn't until quite a while later that Tianluo Yinlu on the other side slowly nodded.
