Chapter 27
Spring quietly left, and the scorching sun burned every inch of Xiaoyao Sect's land. The practitioners wore thin clothes all year round without fear of the scorching heat or severe cold. The rotation of the four seasons had no effect on them. However, the spiritual pets that lacked spiritual energy did not have it so easy.
At this time of year in previous years, the spirit pets of Xiaoyao Sect would stay in the cave to enjoy the cool air during the day and go out to play around at midnight. However, this summer was very different. Many disciples in the sect discovered that their spirit pets all chose to go out during the day, as if they were not afraid of the heat at all.
It's really strange, very strange.
At this time, in the bamboo forest in the south, the small pavilion was filled with small animals.
Several cats were huddled together on a bench, white cranes and mallards were squatting on the ground, geckos were lying on the pillars of the pavilion, parrots, eagles, orioles and other animals were standing behind the benches, and several dogs and foxes were lying on the benches, among which a weasel was lying on the head of a little white dog... All the spiritual pets looked seriously at the little squirrel in the center of the stone table, who was holding a small sword and talking eloquently.
"...I leaped onto the snake's head and stabbed it with my sword. The snake instantly lost its strength and fell into the tree hole."
When he was excited, Song Shu took out the sword behind him and demonstrated the sword technique he used to kill snakes to his disciples. Every poke and stab was very clean and neat. His little feet jumped flexibly on the stone table, and his wrists made beautiful sword flowers, which made the spirit pets' eyes sparkle and their hearts were shocked.
The leader has great abilities!
Not all animals among the spiritual pets are afraid of snakes, but their leader is only a small one, but he can kill a big snake alone. This is simply unimaginable to everyone.
With a beautiful ending, Song Shu put the sword back into the scabbard, raised his head slightly, and his clothes fluttered in the wind, giving him the style of a powerful sect leader.
"So, we must practice diligently," Song Shu said with a serious face, "I can kill a giant snake. As long as you practice successfully, you won't have to be afraid of animals bullying you in the future."
"quack!"
"Meow~"
"Woof woof~"
“Understood, understood—”
Listening to the disciples' responses, Song Shu nodded with satisfaction and said to them, "Now I will check your cultivation. If I find anyone slacking off in their practice, I will punish them by spanking them three times."
"Gah!"
"Meow!"
"Woof!"
“No punishment, no punishment”…
The parrot was making so much noise that it gave him a headache, so Song Shu pointed at it and said seriously, "Aying, you go first."
Parrot:……
However, although this parrot usually likes to sing some random songs and make random remarks, it has not slacked off in its cultivation. Song Shu saw it flapping its wings wildly at the leaves on a bamboo tree, and actually blew off most of the leaves.
Although it was still very weak, Song Shu could faintly feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy in it, which showed that the parrot also worked hard.
Song Shu was very satisfied, so the remaining spirit pets showed him the results of their training one by one. For example, the kitten would scratch the stone with one claw, leaving deep claw marks on the stone; the white crane could bite through a bamboo with its long beak; and the fox even performed a set of fox punches, with very powerful punches and powerful kicks...
"That's right," Song Shu said, his hands behind his back, feeling very pleased. "You all have practiced hard. When our Rat Sect grows stronger in the future, you will all be our senior brothers and sisters, and all future disciples will look up to you."
The spirit pets responded again, each of them full of anticipation for the future.
Seeing the animals' eyes shining and taking her words to heart, Song Shu felt so happy that she was almost intoxicated.
Rat's disciples are all great!
"Well... that's right. Go back and continue your cultivation. When you can cultivate to adulthood, I will have better techniques to teach you." Song Shu said solemnly, "You all know that only after cultivating to adulthood can you have the opportunity to seek the way to ascension."
The spirit pets nodded seriously.
They are not stupid. Those that can be spirit pets are naturally intelligent. However, most of them do not know how to cultivate. Their owners are all disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect, and not all of them are good at animal cultivation methods. Most of them are just raised as companions.
At most, you can feed some elixirs to the spirit pets on a daily basis to help them prolong their lives. The cultivation depends on the spirit pets' comprehension ability.
These disciples were not as generous as Xuanxu, who could not stuff any elixir into Ah Huang's mouth without any regard for the consequences. Therefore, most of the spirit pets had never been able to cultivate properly before. Now, they finally had an experienced senior like Song Shu to teach them how to cultivate, and everyone was working very hard.
After checking everyone's cultivation, Song Shu waved his claws and prepared to let everyone disperse, but suddenly heard Ah Hua say, "Master, is the Hedao Ceremony between you and Senior Brother Qin coming soon?"
It has been more than a month since Song Shu returned from Lingshan. Originally, he wanted to become a Taoist couple with Qin Mian as soon as he came back, but Qin Mian said that they had to choose a good day, so the relationship was delayed for more than a month.
Song Shu was unhappy, but he heard that a good auspicious day could deepen the relationship between two Taoist couples. Although he didn't believe this, he still compromised.
It’s your destined partner, so what if I just pamper him?
So he held his breath and recruited many disciples for the Rat Sect in just one month. Moreover, because he was getting married soon, he didn't need to hide it from Qin Mian, so he allowed the dog to enter the Rat Sect.
Thinking of Qin Mian, Song Shu raised the corners of his mouth and said reservedly: "Well, there are still three days."
In three days, Shu and Qin Mian will become Taoist couple!
The big tail behind him shook, and Song Shu became a little impatient. Because they had not yet become Taoist partners, Qin Mian had always refused to mate with him, so Song Shu was very anxious.
After secretly exchanging glances with the other cats, Ah Hua smiled and said, "Congratulations, Sect Master! Senior Sister Qin will be our Sect Master's wife in the future."
The Sect Master’s Wife!
Song Shu's tail wagged even more vigorously. Just hearing this name made her feel so beautiful.
"Puchi." Ah Huang couldn't help but laugh while lying on top of the little white dog's head.
Qin Mian is the sect leader’s wife?
Hahahaha, he will make fun of it to Xuanxu when he gets back.
The last time Qin Mian came back, he silenced Ah Huang again. It happened that Xuan Xu was out on business and didn't come back until a day later. Ah Huang didn't speak for the whole day and was almost suffocated to death by the weasel.
Now, whenever he gets the chance, he wants to laugh at Qin Mian.
"Ah Huang, what are you laughing at?"
Song Shu frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Ah Huang always said bad things about Qin Mian. Qin Mian was obviously a good person!
Not only will he feed the mice, he won't get angry even if the mice mistake him for a food thief. He will also give the mice rings, bathe them, and help them through their puberty and estrus periods...
In short, apart from occasionally saying things on purpose to irritate Shu, Qin Mian is a very good partner.
"No." Covering his mouth with his claws, Ah Huang said with a sneaky look, "I just feel very happy that the Sect Master is getting married."
It turns out that he was happy for the mouse.
Song Shu nodded with satisfaction. He wanted to say something else, but he had spent a lot of time testing his disciples' cultivation today. Seeing that it was almost evening, he was anxious to go back to see Qin Mian, so he waved his claws at the disciples.
"I'm leaving now. If you have any questions, you can ask each other. If I'm not here, please ask Elder Huang."
Perhaps because he has a sense of responsibility after becoming an elder, Ah Huang is now more serious about his cultivation and not as perfunctory as before. However, most of the spirit pets of Xiaoyao Sect have been bullied by Ah Huang, so no one dares to ask him questions.
After giving the instructions, Song Shu drew out the sword behind him, stood on it, and quickly disappeared from the sight of the spiritual pets.
As soon as Song Shu left, the remaining animals said goodbye to Ah Huang and Ah Hua and soon dispersed.
Ah Huang was thinking about making fun of Qin Mian, so he left quickly, leaving Ah Hua and the cats together. Ah Hua looked around and saw that the spirit pets had dispersed. She said to the cats seriously, "The Sect Master is about to hold the Hedao Ceremony. We must prepare gifts for him so that he will remember us."
After these days, Ah Hua had already seen how powerful Song Shu was. She had previously learned from her master that giving appropriate gifts could strengthen the relationship between the two parties.
Ah Hua secretly vowed to let the cat occupy a place in the Rat Sect, so she must establish a good relationship with Song Shu, the sect leader.
"Know!"
"good!"
Several cats agreed, and then ran back with a stern face, trying to figure out what kind of gift would touch Song Shu's heart.
After a few cats left, a red-haired fox poked its head out from a cluster of green bamboo. A gleam of light flashed in its eyes. It thought that Elder Ahua was really cunning, but it also felt that there was some truth in it.
If the cat wants to give gifts, the fox must give gifts too!
The red-haired fox's narrow eyes turned cleverly, and it shook off the fallen leaves on its body, then quickly ran and disappeared into the dense forest.
-
Song Shu quickly returned to the cave on Song Jian. Compared to the heat outside, the cave was much cooler and he could even feel the breeze blowing across his furry face.
Beside the stone table, a handsome young man in white was looking down at the scroll in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression looking very serious, his handsome little squirrel heart was filled with happiness.
"Gu!"
Qin Mian!
Song Shu ran wildly with his four claws, jumped onto the stone table, and then pounced into Qin Mian's arms. Then the little Song Shu turned into a cute boy with white skin and red lips.
"Boo!"
Without saying anything, he pressed Qin Mian's face and gave him a loud kiss. Song Shu shook her head slightly, and the high ponytail behind her head swayed slightly, looking very lively.
"Did you miss me?" Song Shu asked seriously.
The mouse has been out for the whole afternoon. Do you miss the mouse?
Pursing his lips, Qin Mian looked at Song Shu, who had a serious expression, with a half-smile: "You've abandoned me, and you still have the nerve to ask me if I miss you?"
"Oh! I'm in trouble!"
Sitting with her legs straddling Qin Mian's, Song Shu said confidently, "And I didn't abandon you. I just left for a while."
With his fingers pointing out a little distance, Song Shu rubbed Qin Mian's face with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense, or people will think I'm a heartless man."
He is not a traitor!
"Hmph, I don't think there's any difference." Qin Mian lifted his thin eyelids and gently pulled Song Shu's face, jokingly saying, "Let me see if the unfaithful man has a pair of big black eyes, a small and upturned nose, and a red mouth."
Grabbing Qin Mian's wrist, Song Shu replied incoherently: "No, unfaithful men are ugly, not as handsome as me."
Rat is a suave and famous figure!
Qin Mian retorted: "There are many handsome men who are unfaithful."
Song Shu: "Anyway, I'm not!"
The two played around for a while, and after Song Shu obediently ate the spiritual fruit and drank some honey water, he ran to the stone bed. He took off his shoes, supported his temples with one hand, patted the bed towards Qin Mian, and invited him with expectant eyes:
"Qin Mian, it's time to rest."
Shu wanted to stay with Qin Mian.
Animals that have transformed into human form are often somewhat unruly and difficult to tame in nature, and are not as good at restraining themselves as humans. For example, Song Shu always wants to get close to Qin Mian.
Shaking his head, Qin Mian walked to the stone bed. He had just sat down when Song Shu rushed over and kissed him on the lips again. However, this time Qin Mian did not let him kiss her lightly or playfully.
Their lips and tongues intertwined, and the sticky and ambiguous sound of water splashing was heard in the empty cave.
Feeling a burning sensation, Qin Mian slightly distanced himself from Song Shu. Both of them were cultivators, but at this moment they were breathing rapidly and their skin was hot.
Looking up at Qin Mian, Song Shu noticed the rolling Adam's apple on his slender neck. He poked it curiously with his finger, then pursed his lips and said a little aggrievedly, "Qin Mian, why haven't we had the Hedao Ceremony yet? I really want to mate with you."
Shudu has read a lot of books and learned a lot of love words, just waiting to send them to Qin Mian!
"Yeah?"
Qin Mian lowered his eyes, his black hair covering the side of his face. His slightly cold and noble face contained a bit of unrelieved desire. His eyes slid across Song Shu's lips that were shining with water, and then fell into his aggrieved and innocent eyes.
The fingers on Song Shu's waist patted her lightly and ambiguously. Qin Mian's eyes dimmed slightly and he said in a deep voice:
"It's almost there, just wait a little longer."

Author's Comment: Song Shu: Even the mice can't wait! (Holding his arms, wagging his tail)
Qin Mian (smiling): I don’t really want to wait, but I’m a gentleman after all.
