It was half a day later when Shushu and Luli received the news from Luzhi, because Luzhi not only went out to get the news, but also brought Zhi along.
Shushu and Luli were initially startled when they saw the child appear quietly in front of them. After realizing that it was Luzhi who brought it back, the rapidly beating hearts of the senior and junior brothers and sisters calmed down.
After that, the three baby chub were naturally locked up again without a doubt, and the group huddled together to whisper and discuss things.
After everything was agreed upon, the three of them, still under the escort of the child, quietly returned to the vicinity of the entrance to the underground river.
After saying goodbye to Zhi, Lu Li and Shushu, led by Xuan Jing, quickly and quietly returned to the Dark River, following the winding river channel back to the Deep Pool.
As soon as they surfaced, Shushu and Luli couldn't wait to transform back into human form and swim ashore.
Stepping firmly onto the ground, for some reason, Shushu always felt extremely at ease at these moments. This was probably the deep love that terrestrial mythical beasts had for the land, Shushu thought happily.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, and having already delivered all the necessary messages, Lu Li finally relaxed.
After thinking for a moment, he found a flat spot by the pool, took out the alchemy furnace that had been sealed away for some time, and threw the crab five into it without hesitation, then lit a fire at the bottom of the furnace.
Before long, a rich fragrance spread around the pool. Fearing that the smell might spread, Lu Li quickly set up a barrier around it.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Almost the instant he set up the barrier, small heads emerged from the many passageways behind him, their little noses twitching.
Upon seeing Lu Li and Shu Shu by the pond, the little ones' eyes lit up, and they excitedly rushed over.
In an instant, all sorts of furry things covered Shushu's entire body. Shushu felt like he was a frame covered in babies.
Well, strictly speaking, it wasn't her whole body. It was more like everything except her face was covered in fur, with even a little purple fox perched on her head.
It's fortunate that this little purple fox isn't too big, otherwise its head would be too heavy for it to bear.
Looking at the sweet potatoes, Lu Li's lips twitched. He quickly put on a serious face, hoping to scare away the little brats with his stern expression.
Unfortunately, the kids were like newborn calves, fearless and unafraid of his stern words. What they couldn't get from the potatoes ended up on him instead.
Even Xuanjing, who was supposed to be resting at the bottom of the pool, climbed onto his head.
Compared to Shushu's purple headgear, Lu Li's Xuanwu headgear is much more interesting.
Because Xuanjing is still a cub, its shell is currently green. Xuanwu will only have its shell turn blackish-red or blue-green after it reaches adulthood, depending on the purity of its bloodline.
In other words, Lu Li was actually being cuckolded at this moment.
Thinking of the definition of being cuckolded in the mortal world, Shushu couldn't help but burst out laughing, causing all the fur on his body to tremble.
Lu Li knew Shushu very well; he guessed what she was thinking almost the instant she looked up at the top of her head.
He smiled helplessly, but didn't seem to care much, and continued to diligently grill the king crab.
Such a calm demeanor made even the potato stop laughing, so it stopped smiling and obediently waited to be fed.
As for the children's puzzled looks, she pretended not to see them. They were just little kids, why would they need to know these things! Right? She couldn't teach the children bad things.
Fortunately, as the king crab cooked, the aroma became increasingly rich, naturally attracting the attention of the kittens.
The sharp-eared Shushu also heard many slurping sounds and felt the dampness on his forehead.
Wait, it's wet. When Shushu reached out and touched the little purple fox's drool that it hadn't had time to swallow, his pupils dilated and his breath hitched.
The next moment, the sorghum swayed, shaking off all its fur, and then jumped into the deep pool with a splash.
After scrubbing himself thoroughly and feeling that he had washed away the little purple fox's drool, Shushu finally went ashore. He used a spell to evaporate the moisture from his body and then gave himself another cleaning spell before feeling at ease.
Then, before she could even lift her foot, she met a pair of fox eyes filled with tears. It was the little purple fox, who was holding a star-shaped crystal in its paw.
Seeing that the sweet potato was looking over, it carefully raised the starfish a little further: "Sweet potato, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I couldn't control my drool. This is an apology gift, please don't be angry."
Millet and sweet potato: ...
Shushu paused for a moment, then finally squatted down to be at eye level with the little purple fox who was standing upright, but did not take away its star constellation.
"Fox Brocade, I accept your apology and forgive you. You can keep Starry Sky Chisel and exchange it for something nice later. But next time, you can't drool on someone's forehead, okay?"
Fox Brocade: "Okay."
"Good girl, put your things away, let's go back and have a big meal."
Okay~
The two, one human and one fox, reconciled. Shushu even picked up Hu Jin, the little purple fox, and they walked together toward Lu Li.
Lu Li had naturally witnessed all the changes that had just occurred, but he trusted that Shushu could handle it, so he didn't interfere.
Instead, they took care of the logistics, setting out tables and chairs, as well as bowls, chopsticks, and plates, for the number of children, and neatly arranging them around the pond.
Besides the person next to Lu Li, there are two other seats that have been reserved.
Each of the other seats was occupied by a little cub, with food that Lu Li had prepared for them in front of them, including steaming king crab, various spiritual fruits, and milk fruit.
The cubs were almost completely mesmerized by the enticing aroma of the beast before them, and their saliva was uncontrollably flowing.
But he was also trying his best to restrain himself, insisting on waiting until everyone was there before he was willing to start eating.
Such an adorable little face not only melted Shushu's heart, but even Lu Li's expression softened considerably.
They quickly led Hu Jin to sit in the reserved seats, and were about to call out to start when they felt a fluctuation coming from the space in front of them.
Instantly, everyone became alert. Shushu and Luli flashed to the front of all the children, their eyes fixed on the source of the fluctuations.
As the fluctuations became more frequent, the space finally seemed to be torn open, and the opening grew wider and wider until a human figure was ejected from the space.
