Chapter 21
The good man Qin Mian really gave Song Shu a storage ring the next day. Thinking that it might be inconvenient for Song Shu to turn into his original form, he strung the ring with a red rope and hung it around Song Shu's neck.
Picking up the small ring and gently letting go, watching it sway twice in front of his chest, Song Shu squinted and smiled.
Rat also has a storage ring.
"I want to put all the spiritual fruits in it."
Song Shu was eager to start searching the cave abode. He threw all the spiritual fruits, clothes, small faces, and handkerchiefs into the ring. Even though Qin Mian had already carefully placed the things Song Shu liked to eat and use in the ring, he couldn't resist Song Shu's sudden interest.
Seeing Song Shu throwing everything into the ring, Qin Mian finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to move everything in the cave into your storage ring?"
Coming back to his senses, Song Shu realized that if Qin Mian hadn't stopped him, he would have thrown all the quilts on the stone bed into the ring.
"Hehehe."
With a silly smile, Song Shu said confidently, "Your ring already has a lot of stuff in it. I'll move these out, and you can just take out new ones."
Qin Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are really smart. After moving all the things away, you let me take out new ones to use."
Although he sighed, Qin Mian was very honest and did as Song Shu said. He took out new items and filled the space left by Song Shu.
For example, when Song Shu took away the jade huchun vase on the table, Qin Mian would replace it with a blue and white moon vase; when Song Shu took away the thin jade pot with winding branches on the table, Qin Mian would replace it with a Rongtian purple clay pot...
As Song Shu was looking, he suddenly ran to Qin Mian, pulled his hand and looked into the storage ring, but he could not see anything.
Why can Qin Mian see Shu’s ring, but Shu can’t see Qin Mian’s ring!
"Are you on guard against me?"
Blinking in grievance, Song Shu said angrily: "I'm not taking your things, I just want to take a look, why don't you let me see it!"
Hearing the implication in Song Shu's words, Qin Mian looked at him and explained slowly: "There is a restriction on this ring of mine. Only my Taoist companion and I can see it."
Taoist companion?
The old bastard had never told Song Shu what a Taoist companion was. Pulling Qin Mian's hand, Song Shu frowned and asked innocently, "What is a Taoist companion? Can I be your Taoist companion?"
The rat wants to see the treasure in Qin Mian’s ring!
The young man stared at Qin Mian with his dark eyes, his gaze was clear without a trace of distracting thoughts, as if the Taoist partner in his mouth was just a good friend who accompanied each other.
The moment their eyes met, Qin Mian quickly looked away and pulled his hand back: "Now, you can't be my Taoist partner."
Song Shu: "Why?"
Song Shu: "I want it!"
What is a Taoist companion? Why can’t a rat be one?
Feeling a headache, Qin Mian calmly changed the subject: "If there is anything you want, just tell me. If I have it, I will give it to you."
Song Shu wanted all the good treasures, but his knowledge was limited, so he couldn't name any of them.
Moreover, Shu just wanted to see what was in Qin Mian's ring, but the stingy Qin Mian refused to let him see it!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. With a stern face, Song Shu turned his back and said coldly, "I'm going to practice martial arts now. Who cares about your baby?"
From now on, even if Qin Mian asked the rat to look at it, the rat would not even look at it!
Seeing Song Shu's angry back, Qin Mian shook his head, his tone helpless but with some inexplicable doting: "What a bad temper."
After noon, Song Shu went to find Ah Huang as usual. Seeing Qin Mian's hesitant expression, Song Shu turned around, shook his big tail, and pretended not to see him.
The rat is still angry.
Seeing Song Shu and Ah Huang running away side by side again, Qin Mian sighed slightly and felt even more headache. The little squirrel he raised had become more and more unruly recently and was getting closer and closer to the number one troublemaker in the sect. What should he do?
A cool spring breeze blew through the pavilion, stirring Song Shu's fur. He said seriously, "We need to recruit more disciples. If you see any goblins with potential for cultivation recently, you can ask them if they'd like to join the Rat Sect."
On the stone table were the teapot and cup that Song Shu had just taken out. Ah Huang used his paw to hold the teapot and poured himself a cup of water. After moistening his throat, he waved his paw and said, "Leave it to me."
Ah Huang has been active in Xiaoyao Sect for several years, and he has played tricks on every disciple's spirit pet in the sect. If Ah Hua's master had not been keeping a close eye on her, Ah Huang would have played tricks on her too.
She poured herself a cup of tea gracefully with her tail. After licking it twice, Ah Hua Shu said, "I have a few friends. I'll go back and ask for their opinions."
Seeing that the two elders were working so hard for the Rat Clan, Song Shu was very pleased.
Song Shu was relieved for a short while. Remembering that Qin Mian didn't want him to be his Taoist partner, he became unhappy again. He frowned, holding his chin with both hands, and suddenly asked, "Do you know what a Taoist partner is?"
"I know."
Ah Huang raised his paw, shook his head, and talked eloquently: "A Taoist couple is two people who are together for life, whether it is practicing Taoism, sleeping, eating, or exorcising demons, they have to be together."
is that so?
Song Shu frowned. He and Qin Mian now ate and slept together. Why didn't Qin Mian want him to be his Taoist partner? Could it be that Qin Mian didn't want to be with Shu for the rest of his life?
"You're not right."
Ah Hua retorted, "A Taoist companion is someone who can help you practice your skills and who will take the initiative to stand in front of you when you encounter difficulties and hardships."
After a pause, she added, "Most importantly, he must be handsome and suave."
Ah Hua's master often talked about finding a handsome Taoist partner who could help her practice and stand in front of her when she encountered difficulties.
After hearing what Ah Hua said, Song Shu frowned again.
Qin Mian clearly taught the mouse some martial arts skills, and he was also very handsome. When the mouse had no food to eat, he took the initiative to give it food.
They are obviously suitable to be Taoist companions!
"You're not right!" Ah Huang was unconvinced. "I've seen many Taoist couples forming pacts while following Xuanxu. What can you, a cat who has never even left Xiaoyao Sect, know?"
Pushing Song Shu's arm with his claws, Ah Huang retorted, "There's nothing good about being a Taoist couple. I see many Taoist couples holding hands when they walk on the street. They don't feel comfortable at all."
"Also, once you have a Taoist partner, you can't look at other people too much, and you can't have your own secrets. Otherwise, it will be considered disloyal to your Taoist partner, and you will be beaten."
Song Shu felt even more dizzy after hearing this.
He felt that these were not too difficult, just secrets...
The Rat does have a secret now.
Frowning in embarrassment, Song Shu thought that he might as well wait until the Rat Sect was established before asking Qin Mian if he was willing to be his Taoist partner.
By then Shu will have no secrets, and Qin Mian will not be allowed to have any secrets behind Shu's back!
As for whether Qin Mian didn't want to stay with the rat for the rest of his life, Song Shu clenched his claws fiercely to say: How dare he not be willing!
Shu is willing to go down Lingshan and go with him. If Qin Mian dares to abandon Shu, Shu will teach him a lesson!
When Song Shu returned to the cave at night, he was still angry with Qin Mian.
When Song Shu thought that Qin Mian didn't want to stay with him all the time, he was so angry that he wanted to beat him up. Finally, he couldn't help it, so he jumped to Qin Mian's shoulder and slapped his chin hard with his little paws to vent his anger.
Bastard Qin Mian!
Don’t let rats be your companions!
"Tsk, what are you angry about again?"
Holding Song Shu by the scruff of the neck and putting the little squirrel on the table, Qin Mian said unhappily, "You run away every day and then come back to give me a cold shoulder. Song Shu, you've been getting more and more unreasonable lately."
I originally thought that Song Shu would calm down quickly after going out to play for an afternoon, but who knew that he would be even angrier when he came back.
"Gu!"
No talking!
The rat is angry!
The man and the rat confronted each other for a while, and Qin Mian admitted defeat and said, "Forget it, my tone was too bad this morning. I bought you a lotus cake to calm you down."
The white hibiscus cake smells very sweet.
Song Shu was a little conflicted. He was still angry that Qin Mian didn't let Shu be his Taoist partner, but Shu really wanted to eat this cake.
After hesitating for a while, Song Shu picked up the lotus cake and started to eat it. It was indeed soft, sweet and sticky. It was so delicious that Song Shu narrowed his eyes.
Just when Qin Mian thought Song Shu would calm down after eating the cake, the little squirrel grabbed a handkerchief and wiped its mouth. Then, ignoring Qin Mian, it jumped onto the stone bed and quickly got into the quilt.
Seeing Song Shu's rogue behavior, Qin Mian was so angry that he almost laughed.
Walking to the bed, Qin Mian sat down calmly, poked the quilt with a finger, and said deliberately: "You turned your face against me after eating my food?"
Song Shu: ...
Qin Mian: "Song Shu, you can't be so excessive as a squirrel."
Song Shu: ...
Mao's face turned red, and Song Shu buried his head in the quilt and closed his eyes, pretending not to hear.
Shu just wanted to eat the hibiscus cake, and didn't want to forgive Qin Mian.
The quilt on his body was pulled back with a "swish". Qin Mian poked the little squirrel's belly with his finger and threatened: "If you pretend not to hear me again, I will catch a cricket and hang it on your ear to make it chirp non-stop to cure your deafness."
Song Shu:!
Opening his eyes angrily, Song Shu slapped Qin Mian's fingers away and said angrily: "Gu!"
You have provoked the rat, and now you dare to threaten it!
Qin Mian glanced at Song Shu calmly and curled his lips: "Finally you heard me speak."
After staring blankly for a while, Song Shu felt that his original form was a little weak, and then he turned into a human form in the blink of an eye.
The fair-faced boy was wearing a goose yellow coat, with delicate eyebrows and a strong fire in his eyes. He lay on his back on the bed and stared at Qin Mian.
Qin Mian was almost burned by the fire in Song Shu's eyes. He was slightly startled and stepped back calmly. Facing the human form of Song Shu, he could never joke around as casually as he did when he was a little squirrel.
But he didn't expect that Song Shu would find out about his retreat. His already rage intensified. He sat up and approached Qin Mian fiercely:
"Why are you so far away from me? Will I eat you?"
Rats don’t eat people!
The distance between the two of them suddenly became closer, so close that Qin Mian could clearly see Song Shu's trembling eyelashes and the lines on his lips, and could also smell the faint fragrance of the Ningxiang Pills on his body.
After a slight pause, Qin Mian suddenly stood up and said coldly, "I'm going out for a walk. If you want to practice, then practice. If you want to sleep, then take a nap."
Song Shu:?
Seeing that Qin Mian was really making the rat angry, he didn't plan to coax it anymore.
Song Shu grabbed the pillow from the bed and threw it hard at Qin Mian. Just as it was about to hit the back of Qin Mian's head, the pillow suddenly spun around and flew steadily towards Song Shu.
By the time Song Shu caught the pillow, Qin Mian's figure had disappeared in the cave.
"asshole!"
Kicking the quilt, Song Shu threw the pillow in his hand onto the bed, feeling angry and a little aggrieved.
Bad Qin Mian!
Bully the rat!
If Qin Mian doesn't apologize properly, Shu will never pay attention to him again!

The author has something to say: Song Shu: Why can’t rats be Taoist companions!
Qin Mian (sighs): You don’t understand.
