Chapter 23



Chapter 23

Bai Quan took Xiao Bai away first. Qin Mian saw that Song Shu ignored him, but he didn't get angry. He just shamelessly sat down next to Song Shu. He poked the little squirrel Maomao's arm with his fingertips and asked softly, "Are the roasted walnuts delicious?"

Song Shu slapped Qin Mian's hand away in annoyance, glared at him fiercely, and stood up to change seats, but Qin Mian grabbed his clothes again and stopped him from leaving.

Song Shu turned his head and threatened: "Gugugugu!"

Don't go too far!

Believe it or not, the rat will beat you soon!

Enjoying seeing Qin Mian being beaten, Ah Huang happily ate the chicken while taking advantage of Qin Mian's inability to understand and secretly instigated him: "Hiss, hiss."

Boss, beat him!

But just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt cold. Seeing Qin Mian's cold expression, Ah Huang shuddered all over. When he wanted to open his mouth to ask Song Shu to hit Qin Mian, he couldn't make a sound no matter what.

The stinky Qin Mian used the silencing spell on him!

After silencing the obstructing weasel, Qin Mian's expression softened. He coaxed Song Shu, "I was too much this morning and didn't consider your feelings. I've already put the wooden bed away."

Hearing the wooden bed being put away, Song Shu finally gave Qin Mian a look, but he was still very unhappy.

"I went out to the sect to do some business today, and on my way back I bought some fresh peach blossom cakes, butterfly cakes, and the new ice cream. Let's try them when we get back to see if you like them, huh?"

Qin Mian's voice was very gentle when he was coaxing people, and Song Shu's ears trembled when he heard it. He held the roasted walnut in his hand and took a big bite. His resolute heart began to waver.

Seeing that Song Shu didn't respond, Qin Mian didn't rush. Seeing that there were still a few walnuts at Song Shu's feet, he said, "Do you want me to roast some more walnuts for you and eat them before going back?"

Song Shu glared at him: "Gu!"

The rat won't go back!

Seeing the reluctance in Song Shu's eyes, Qin Mian paused and said, "Don't you want a sword? I've asked someone to make one for you. We can get it tomorrow."

Rat's sword!

Song Shu's already wavering heart became even more unsteady under Qin Mian's temptation.

How can Shu, the leader of the Rat Clan, survive without a sword? It wouldn't be impressive at all to tell others about it.

Ah Huang was so anxious when he realized Song Shu seemed to want to forgive Qin Mian that he even lost his appetite for the big yellow chicken. However, because Qin Mian had silenced him, he couldn't speak. He didn't dare to remind Song Shu in front of Qin Mian, so he could only glare at Song Shu frantically.

But Song Shu was immersed in the chivalrous scene of himself wandering the world with a sword in his hand in the future, and he didn't even pay attention to Ah Huang.

After some hesitation, Song Shu ate the last bite of the walnut and asked Qin Mian again: "Gugugugu?"

Will you still drive away the rats in the future?

Looking down at the little squirrel's serious furry face, Qin Mian curled his lips and said softly, "From now on, no matter what I do, I will ask for your opinion first."

Although what the two people said were completely unrelated, Song Shu thought about it for a while and felt that it was okay.

Shu only forgave Qin Mian because he wanted the sword!

Skillfully climbing up Qin Mian's clothes and climbing to his shoulders, Song Shu crossed his arms and said seriously, "Gugu!"

If it happens again, the rat will never come back!

After coaxing the little squirrel, Qin Mian stood up and was about to leave when Ah Huang suddenly stood in front of him, pointing at his throat, looking very anxious.

It’s fine if you two just make up, but at least remove the gag spell on me!

Looking at the long yellow figure standing in front of him, Qin Mian acted as if he had suddenly realized something. "Ah Huang is here too. It's so late, I'm sure my uncle is worried too. I'll take you back with me."

Ah Huang:!

Unable to believe that Qin Mian had muted him and then pretended not to see it, Ah Huang subconsciously wanted to run, but the next moment he was swaying and rising into the air.

Every time Qin Mian took a step, he also floated in that direction.

Ah Huang flapped his limbs in vain and cursed in his heart: Damn Qin Mian, I will teach you a lesson sooner or later!

When they arrived outside Xuanxu's cave, Qin Mian threw Ah Huang into Xuanxu's arms, and the oil on Ah Huang's body rubbed all over Xuanxu.

Facing the confused Xuan Xu, Qin Mian said politely:

"Uncle Master, when I was looking for Song Shu, I happened to see Ah Huang. I thought he must have gone out to play without your knowledge again, so I brought him back."

"The big yellow chicken has a lot of turbid qi. Ah Huang's cultivation, which he built up through medicinal pills, is not pure enough. If this continues, what will happen? Uncle Master, you should discipline him more."

Looking at the little squirrel on Qin Mian's shoulder, with a little bit of carbon ash on its white fur on its chest, Xuanxu was silent for a while.

"It's getting late, Song Shu and I won't disturb you anymore. Uncle Master and Ah Huang, see you next time." Qin Mian said.

Song Shu also raised his paw and waved at Ah Huang. For some reason, Ah Huang was very quiet all the way back. Song Shu thought he was sleepy.

Xuan Xu on the side: "...walk slowly."

After Qin Mian took Song Shu away, Xuan Xu looked down at the greasy weasel in his arms and said sneerly, "I told you to take Song Shu out running around in the middle of the night, and now you've been dealt with by Qin Mian."

Ah Huang: ...

Looking at the stained sleeves, Xuanxu frowned and said, "I think what Qin Mian said is right. Your cultivation is so poor, and you are always lazy. You are not allowed to leave the cave tomorrow night. Practice hard."

Ah Huang: ...

hypocrite!

He wanted to throw Xuanxu and Qin Mian into the pot and cook them together!

When Song Shu returned to the cave, he found that the carved wooden bed had indeed disappeared, and the discomfort in his heart finally dissipated a little.

Humph, if Qin Mian lies to Shu, Shu will beat him into a pig's head.

After taking a comfortable bath, Song Shu returned to the stone bed. He looked at Qin Mian who was sitting beside him, frowning slightly, wondering what he was thinking about.

After a while, Song Shu climbed onto Qin Mian's legs, and the next moment, a fair and tender boy who had just taken a bath and smelled fragrant appeared in Qin Mian's arms.

The young man had fair skin and black hair, some soft flesh on his cheeks, and bright red lips. He was wearing a thin blue shirt and was looking at Qin Mian intently, his eyes burning and serious.

Qin Mian's breath hitched, and he subconsciously wanted to let Song Shu go down, but he also remembered that Song Shu had just had a fight with him. After a slight hesitation, he asked with evasive eyes:

"Why did you suddenly change into a human form? Do you have something to say to me?"

Perhaps the monsters transformed from small animals always like to show themselves in their original form. Song Shu and Ah Huang also like to use their original form when they are outside. They are much more flexible than human form and are less likely to attract attention.

Song Shu pursed her lips and said nothing, but just moved closer to Qin Mian.

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer, so close that Qin Mian could feel Song Shu's breath. He restrained himself and tilted his head back. When he was about to ask Song Shu what was going on, he was suddenly grabbed by the collar.

"I knew it!"

Song Shu gritted his teeth, two flames burning in his eyes. He grabbed Qin Mian's collar and shook him madly, saying, "Do you think my human form isn't mighty and strong enough, so you're deliberately avoiding me?"

Otherwise, why would Qin Mian treat Rat badly every time Rat was in human form!

Qin Mian: ...Is your prototype very powerful?

"cough……"

Qin Mian couldn't help but raise his sleeve to hide the smile on his face and coaxed, "How could I dislike you? Besides, although your human form may not be mighty and strong, you are still handsome and elegant. If the people down the mountain saw you, they would definitely praise you as a handsome man."

"Really?"

Song Shu felt a little relieved by the compliment, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose.

He actually didn't think he was ugly in human form, he just didn't like Qin Mian always being distant from him when he turned into a human form.

Qin Mian: "I have never lied to you."

Looking up at Qin Mian's gentle gaze, Song Shu asked in confusion, "Then why don't you want to be with me every time I'm in human form?"

Even when he transformed into a human form in front of Qin Mian for the first time, Qin Mian wanted to drive him away.

Qin Mian: ...

To be honest, it's a little hard to explain.

Seeing Qin Mian trying to look away again, Song Shu quickly pressed his face and asked, "Don't you like me in human form?"

"no."

Qin Mian said vaguely: "I'm just not used to it. After all, you've been with me in your original form for a long time, and I can't get used to it for a while."

It turns out that I'm not used to it.

Song Shu felt better. He let go of Qin Mian's hand and glared at him unhappily: "Then get used to it quickly. I'll use my human form more often to get along with you in the future."

Qin Mian glanced at Song Shu hesitantly and said with a smile, "Okay."

The big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Song Shu turned over and landed on the bed. He patted the bed and said to Qin Mian with clear eyes: "It's time for us to practice together."

The rat hasn't practiced for a whole day, so he needs to make up for it quickly.

Seeing Song Shu's ambiguous action, Qin Mian was stunned for a moment, his ears slightly red, but he still responded to Song Shu's words and sat down.

The two of them began to meditate with their knees touching each other.

~

After a night of practice, the next day, Song Shu followed Qin Mian to find Xuan Hua. Yesterday he said that he would use his human form to spend more time with Qin Mian, and today he really used his human form to walk side by side with Qin Mian.

Xuan Hua didn't see Song Shu often. This was the first time he saw Song Shu in human form. After looking him up and down, he smiled and praised, "You really look smart and cute."

Song Shu retorted: "It's romantic and suave!"

Qin Mian always praises him like this!

"Hahaha, fine, suave." Xuan Hua followed Song Shu's words and said, "Suave young master, come and take a look at the sword I forged for you and try it out to see if it fits your hand."

Xuan Hua handed Song Shu a sword. The scabbard was engraved with intricate patterns and felt heavy in his hand.

The scabbard was pulled out, revealing a sword body as white as the silver moon and a sharp blade. Song Shu held the hilt and swung it lightly, and the stone not far away cracked with a "bang".

So awesome!

With his eyes flashing, when Song Shu looked at Xuan Hua again, his gaze was obviously different.

He used to think that Qin Mian’s master was lazy and looked not serious at all, but now he thinks that Qin Mian’s master is very capable!

I didn’t even notice it before!

Receiving the little squirrel's slightly admiring gaze, Xuan Hua straightened his back and said with a smile, "There's more to it than that. Try changing into your original form."

prototype?

But the prototype of the rat can’t hold the sword!

As if noticing Song Shu's hesitation, Qin Mian said, "Since Master has spoken, you should try transforming into your original form."

Song Shu nodded, and then the cute-looking boy turned into a little squirrel wearing a long gown. The long sword in his hand also changed with his body shape, becoming a small sword suitable for the little squirrel to use.

"Gu!"

This sword will change size!

The big fluffy tail swayed behind him, and Song Shu almost jumped up with satisfaction. He performed a set of sword moves in the appearance of a little squirrel.

This sword was more powerful than the one Qin Mian had given him before. Song Shu felt extremely good at wielding it, and his sword moves became faster and faster.

After he finished his sword moves, Qin Mian smiled and clapped his hands in compliment: "As expected, you are the best squirrel in the world. Your swordplay is so graceful and elegant."

Glancing at him, Xuan Hua said with a half-smile, "Qin Mian is right. He does have a bit of a romantic spirit. Practice hard, little squirrel. Maybe you'll become the first squirrel spirit to ascend."

"Gu!"

The rat wants to be the first squirrel spirit to ascend.

Song Shu answered readily, then turned his gaze to Ling You, who had been silent beside him. He did not speak either, but just stared at Ling You with his dark eyes, as if expecting something.

Ling You: ...

Soon Qin Mian and Xuan Hua also looked over. Ling You paused and said awkwardly, "Your sword moves are quite beautiful."

"Gu!"

The rat knows!

The rat is the best swordsman in the world!

Even Qin Mian’s black-faced junior brother praised Rat, saying that Rat was super awesome!

Seeing that Song Shu was so satisfied that he didn't want to put down the sword, Qin Mian smiled slightly and said to Xuan Hua, "Master, thank you for your trouble."

"Oh, it's really troublesome."

Xuan Hua sighed pretentiously and added, "You haven't been drinking recently, and I'm really bored. If you really want to thank me, why not get me drunk with you one day?"

Before Qin Mian could say anything, Mr. Song Shu got angry. He suddenly transformed into a human form and shouted at Xuan Hua, "Qin Mian doesn't drink! Qin Mian's master, you are not allowed to ask him to drink!"

"I was wondering why he didn't drink a drop of alcohol after coming back. It turns out someone is watching over him." Xuan Hua tutted and teased him deliberately: "Little squirrel, the wine I brew is rich and mellow. Do you want to try it?"

Song Shu acted as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "I don't drink either."

Rats will get a headache if they drink it.

"Alright, alright." Xuan Hua sighed, "You really don't know what a great thing you've missed. If you come back to me for it in the future, I won't give it to you."

Song Shu held the sword in his arms, looking very disdainful.

A rat won't come to you for wine.

After leaving Xuan Hua, Song Shu carried his newly acquired sword all the way, swinging his high ponytail behind his head, for fear that the people passing by Xiaoyao Gate would not be able to see his peerless sword.

Qin Mian found it amusing and said, "You haven't given this sword a name yet."

name?

Song Shu blinked and looked at him strangely: "Do you still want to name the sword?"

In Lingshan, the old turtle only gave names to the fairies that could practice cultivation. The other animals that could not practice cultivation and had only a little intelligence did not have their own names.

It turns out that even a sword outside Lingshan has a name?

"You don't have to name it," Qin Mian said softly, "but if you become famous in the cultivation world in the future, people will always mention your sword. Having a name will make it more impressive."

Rats must be majestic!

Song Shu perked up. He stared at the sword in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "Then let's call him Song Jian."

Of course the sword of the rat must have the rat’s surname.

Qin Mian, who had always been told by Song Shu that his names were not nice, was silent for a moment. He did not think Song Shu was any better at naming than he was. However, when Song Shu looked at him, he remained calm and said, "It's a good name. Others will know it's your sword as soon as they hear it."

Song Shu narrowed his eyes and thought Qin Mian had good taste.

The rat also thought the name was good.

With Song Jian, Song Shu and Qin Mian were completely reconciled, and it seemed as if the rift between them had never existed.

Song Shu practiced sword and boxing in the morning, and meditated with Qin Mian at night. But in the afternoon, no matter how Qin Mian persuaded him, he still had to spare some time to complete the "Rat Gate Plan"!

A month passed like this. Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Song Shu, Ah Huang and Ah Hua, the Shumen now had a parrot, three tabby cats, two geckos, a white crane and five green ducks.

On the stone table, a little squirrel stood with his hands behind his back, carrying a sword. His back was covered in orange-red fur, his chest was covered in snow-white fur, and he was wearing a loose-fitting, double-breasted, long-sleeved shirt. He was talking to the small animals around him, saying:

"However, we have more and more disciples. Starting tomorrow, I will teach you the cultivation method. You must also establish your foundation and transform into a human as soon as possible."

When Ah Huang heard about cultivation, he almost fell to the ground like a weasel.

Recently, Xuanxu asked Ah Huang to practice every day. He was not allowed to go out to look for Xiaobai at night, nor was he allowed to sleep. After practicing for a month, Ah Huang felt that his bones were almost soft.

But there was no way. Ever since Song Shu got the sword, his cultivation progressed faster and faster, and Ah Huang was no match for him.

"hiss-"

"Meow~"

"唳~"

"Got it, got it!"

The intermittent animal calls made Song Shu quite satisfied. He nodded his chin lightly and felt that he was becoming more and more like a sect leader.

When he returned to the cave at night, he saw Qin Mian and couldn't help but show some of his majestic demeanor as the sect leader, with his hands behind his back and a serious expression, which made Qin Mian think that something serious had happened.

Qin Mian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened? Did you have a fight with Ah Huang?"

He had disliked Ah Huang for a long time. If Song Shu really fought with Ah Huang, he could take this opportunity to persuade Song Shu not to play with Ah Huang in the future.

Seeing that Qin Mian didn't see the majesty of the sect leader in him, Song Shu blew the hair on the tip of his nose in anger and said angrily: "You don't understand!"

The rat will teach other fairies martial arts tomorrow, and from now on all the spirit pet rats in the Xiaoyao Sect will accept them as disciples!

Qin Mian, who was inexplicably bullied, suddenly fell into deep thought: ...He doesn't seem to have done anything to make Song Shu angry recently?

"Humph, so stupid!"

After scolding Qin Mian, Song Shu climbed onto the stone bed angrily and prepared to practice. Perhaps as the number of disciples under his tutelage increased, Song Shu felt that the burden on him was heavier.

As the leader of the sect, Rat must practice diligently, otherwise how can he protect his disciples?

The very responsible Sect Master Song left Qin Mian behind and began to practice with his eyes closed. His appearance made Qin Mian even more confused.

What happened? After Song Shu came back and scolded him, he suddenly went to practice?

After hesitating for a while, seeing that Song Shu had entered a state of meditation, Qin Mian sighed softly and followed him to meditate.

Song Shu had always been able to concentrate and calm his mind while meditating in the past, but tonight, for some reason, after meditating for an hour, he suddenly felt a sense of irritation rising in his heart.

With his brows slightly furrowed, Song Shu felt a little hot. This kind of fever was different from the fever before foundation building. It spread from the lower abdomen to the chest, like a small fire burning slowly in the heart, which could not be ignored.

"Hmm."

With sweat on his forehead, Song Shu suddenly opened his eyes.

Qin Mian, who was meditating nearby, quickly opened his eyes after noticing something was wrong with Song Shu. He saw sweat all over Song Shu's forehead, with his black hair sticking to his temples. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Song Shu's forehead, then asked softly:

"But what's wrong?"

Song Shu bit her lip and said uncomfortably, "It's very hot."

The mouse was so hot that he felt restless and couldn't practice at all.

Qin Mian frowned and felt Song Shu's pulse on his wrist. He didn't find any symptoms, but seeing that Song Shu was really unwell, he asked again: "How about we go find the Pill Elder to take a look at you?"

Song Shu shook his head, remembering that last time he had a fever and it was cured by a good night's sleep, he said, "I don't want to practice tonight, I want to sleep."

This was the first time Song Shu asked to sleep after he transformed into a human form.

Qin Mian tucked the quilt in for Song Shu, but Song Shu kicked him out the next moment, and the quilt fell to the end of the bed.

Song Shu looked at Qin Mian as if he was a fool: "Are you stupid? I'm very hot!"

Qin Mian: ...I am really stupid.

After saying that, Song Shu turned over and was too lazy to pay attention to the stupid Qin Mian.

But the heat in his body made it impossible for him to sleep. He rolled around on the bed like a pancake for a few times. Someone stuffed a green bamboo lady into Song Shu's hand. Qin Mian's gentle voice came to his ears: "Hold the bamboo lady to sleep, it will be cool."

Song Shu closed his eyes and wrapped his hands and feet around Madam Zhu. He indeed felt a little bit of cool breeze, but it was not enough to extinguish the heat in his heart.

Just when Song Shu wanted to turn over again, a hand suddenly came down from behind and gently stroked his back. The movement was neither light nor heavy, and it felt very comfortable.

Qin Mian fanned Song Shu with one hand and patted his back gently with the other hand, whispering, "Go to sleep."

After closing his eyes, Song Shu actually felt sleepy. He yawned a little, moved closer to Qin Mian, and finally fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, when Song Shu woke up, he still felt uncomfortable, but when he said it carefully, he didn't feel very uncomfortable, so he rejected Qin Mian's suggestion to find the elder of alchemy.

But nothing happened during the day, and he felt hot again at night.

Qin Mian had no choice but to fan him and rub his back at the same time. Three days later, after teaching the disciples of the Rat Sect how to absorb spiritual energy, Song Shu started to talk to Ah Huang in private.

Song Shu complained listlessly, "I've been feeling really hot at night lately, and I'm restless and anxious. I can't even muster the energy to practice."

Ah Huang thought to himself, it’s right that you are not motivated, so that you don’t have to practice so fast that even a weasel can’t catch up.

But worried that Song Shu would punish him, Ah Huang thought for a moment and said, "I also have this period every year. Xuan Xu said that it happens when I'm in heat or estrus. I just need to wait until the heat or estrus is over."

He counted on his short fingers and finally said in a hurry, "It seems that my estrus period is coming soon."

"Estrous?"

This was the first time Song Shu heard this. When he was in Lingshan, he had never experienced the discomfort of estrus.

"That's right." Ah Huang said seriously, "I'm a weasel, you're a squirrel, we're both rats. I have estrus, and you must have it too!"

Yes, is that so?

Song Shu looked confused: "Then how do you deal with it every time you're in heat?"

"It's very simple!" Ah Huang raised his paw and said casually, "Xuan Xu always helps me every time I'm in heat. It's just a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but it will soon be gone."

Xuanxu will help Ah Huang.

Song Shu wrinkled his nose and hesitated, "Xuan Xu will, but does Qin Mian know how to get through the estrus period?"

"You know, right?" Ah Huang said uncertainly, "They are nephews. It doesn't make sense for Xuanxu to know and Qinmian not to know."

Song Shu nodded and clenched his claws.

He knew what to do.

Qin Mian must not have known that he was in estrus, so he used the wrong method.

Shu wants to tell Qin Mian and ask Qin Mian to help Shu get through the estrus period!

-----------------------

The author has something to say: Song Shu: Qin Mian is so stupid, he can't even figure out why Shu is hot, and he wants Shu to find the reason himself!

Qin Mian: It’s hard for me to know.

It’s a funny thing. A few days ago, I dreamed that a little squirrel traveled into a shooting game on mobile phone. The little squirrel was wearing bulletproof armor, goggles, and holding an AK in his hand, sprinting in the hail of bullets.

Very handsome [Come on]
