Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 439 Two Demon Spirits, Ashi and Ayuan
Chen Xu never expected that the first thing he would see upon returning home would be this scene.

In the darkness of night, Chen Ping and Meng Niang, a pair of lovelorn lovers, poured out their hearts to each other through the low gate of the fence.

Amidst their lingering, unrequited love, the two gradually came up with a plan.

Mengniang said, "Chen Lang, come out with me. If we become husband and wife, your uncle and aunt will see my determination and soften their hearts and agree to our marriage."

"This..." Chen Ping exclaimed in shock, blurting out, "How could this be?"

Mengniang's eyes instantly filled with tears, her whole body trembled slightly, and she said sadly:

"Chen Lang, do you despise me?"

These few words, spoken so briefly, have truly shattered my heart into pieces.

How could Chen Ping possibly stand this?
He immediately gritted his teeth: "How could I... how could I possibly do that?"

Mengniang, however, refused to believe it: "But I can tell you just dislike me, otherwise why won't you come out? Why won't you make love to me for real..."

"Mengniang!" Chen Ping shouted, his voice filled with both barely suppressed panic and unspeakable ruthlessness.

He finally made up his mind and said, "Mengniang, I will never let you down!"

As he spoke, he suddenly pulled the fence gate open, and there was a creaking sound.

The seemingly simple fence gate, which had effectively separated the two people, was finally opened.

Two little demons were extremely anxious in the corner.

"Oh no, Brother Chen is going to leave with this spirit. Without the protection of this mansion, Brother Chen is just a mortal. Won't he be drained dry by the spirit?"

Wei Yuan said, "Why don't I use earth magic to kidnap Brother Chen?"

But Little Mouse Ah Shi gritted his teeth and said, "No, if we use magic, this demon will turn on us."

None of us are a match for this demon... I'll go first. I'm a mouse; if I make a sound, Brother Chen will definitely come to catch me!

After saying that, it opened its mouth to bark.

The two little demons were talking, using barely perceptible animal language.

Just like the chirping and rustling of insects in the countryside at night, blending into the natural world.

They are so familiar with each other that they can understand what the other is saying.

Chen Xu could automatically understand the language of spirit creatures, so he also understood the meaning of his two companions' conversation.

As for "others," such as Chen Ping, the eldest brother of the Chen family, or the spirit Mengniang, they would subconsciously ignore the existence of the two little demons.

At this moment, the mouse took a deep breath and opened its mouth to shout.

Just then, a soft "shh" sound rang in the mouse's ear.

The sudden "hiss" sound should have been extremely startling, and the mouse, upon hearing it, leaped into the air.

At the same time, it shouted, "Squeak—ah, scholar..."

The last two words, "scholar," were crisply uttered by the little mouse, and in that instant, there was an indescribable thrill and lingering emotion.

Under the starlight, the mouse leaps up.

Its tiny mouse body was caught in a pair of slender hands.

The two, a human and a mouse, locked eyes. Familiar faces, a long-lost aura—it was as if they were old friends reunited after a lifetime apart.

The mouse's entire body went limp, as if it were in a dream.

It could hardly believe that Chen Xu, whom it had been searching for, had suddenly appeared.

"Have I... have I gotten drunk again? I've actually seen the scholar return..."

It was in a daze, raising its paw to put it in its mouth to gnaw on.

Chen Xu reacted quickly, flicking his finger to send a crisp purple spirit bead flying into the mouse's mouth.

Crunch!

The mouse bit into the Purple Spirit Pearl, and the aroma and sweetness of the roasted rice burst in its mouth.

It crunched away as it finished the purple spirit pearl, feeling a warm, comforting spiritual energy coursing through its body, making it feel incredibly relaxed.

The mouse's eyes lit up, and it immediately had no more doubts.

"Scholar!"

It cried out with joy, leaped from Chen Xu's palm, and landed on Chen Xu's shoulder, its entire body pressed against Chen Xu's cheek.

"It really is you! You're finally back! How did you suddenly disappear? I almost thought you were suffering a backlash because of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project."

If it weren't for Ninth Master saying your life was safe, I...I..." As he spoke, Xiaoshu's voice choked with emotion.

Large, bright tears rolled down from its round eyes and landed on Chen Xu's shoulder with a soft patter, radiating a lively spirit.

These tears were actually quite extraordinary!

Chen Xu was initially saddened and distressed by the mouse's crying, but then he discovered that the mouse's tears even had an entry:
【Golden Spirit Jade Flowing Liquid, the tears of a demon spirit with a special bloodline, condensing longing and true feelings.】

For ordinary people, consuming this product can extend their lifespan by sixty years; for cultivators, it can enhance their spiritual abilities.

If this is used as a base, and moonlight is introduced, and spiritual tea is prepared using special techniques, it can be blended into a Golden Jade Flowing Wine.

If a demon spirit drinks this beverage, there is a certain chance it will purify its bloodline, develop its aptitude, and enhance its cultivation.

What a wonderful Golden Jade Flowing Wine!

Not only are there entries about mouse tears, but their effects are also considered extraordinary, making them a truly superior spiritual substance.

Chen Xu once drank Golden Spirit Jade Liquid Tea infused with the blood of a mouse, which awakened his Netherworld Abyss supernatural power.

This also suggests the extraordinary bloodline of the mouse.

Now the mouse sheds tears, and the miracle is seen again.

Chen Xu dared not delay. He quickly took out a jade bottle and used a spirit control technique to make it float in the air.

At the same time, he made a hand seal and activated his water control technique, drawing all of the mouse's tears into the jade bottle.

Even the single tear that had fallen onto his shoulder was drawn out by his water manipulation technique and placed into a separate jade bottle.

This was thanks to the fact that Chen Xu's clothes had certain magical properties, making them impervious to water and fire.

That's why the mouse's tear didn't seep directly into the fabric of his clothes.

Mouse: "..."

The mouse stopped crying without anyone noticing. It stared blankly at Chen Xu's actions, its mouth agape.

No, that's not right.

While a long-awaited reunion is wonderful, isn't the scholar's behavior a bit too much, too exaggerated, and too unbelievable?

Ashi's body stiffened, but his legs involuntarily moved toward the outside of Chen Xu's shoulder.

After taking a few steps, it suddenly lowered its head.

In an instant, their eyes met.

Wei Yuan was already nearly 1.3 feet tall, making him quite a large hedgehog.

At this moment, the two demons looked at each other. For some reason, the little mouse felt inexplicably guilty and suddenly squatted down on the outside of Chen Xu's shoulder and shrank its neck.

Chen Xu put away the jade bottle containing the mouse's tears, and suddenly felt that something was off about the atmosphere.

He coughed lightly and explained, "Ashi's tears have some effects; they can help you in your spiritual practice."

To be honest, if the tears of the mouse didn't also have the ability to enhance the bloodline of demon spirits, Chen Xu wouldn't have made such an inappropriate move at this time.

He intended to bring the two demons to the Xuan Tian Star Realm together, and naturally hoped to help them quickly improve their strength.

This Golden Jade Flowing Wine is truly a wonderful thing and should not be missed.

As for the other two effects of mouse tears, whether it is to increase the lifespan of mortals or to enhance the spiritual apertures of cultivators, Chen Xu was not too concerned about them.

But Chen Xu didn't want to explain the matter of the mouse's tears too clearly.

This is a subconscious caution.

Even with the mouse itself, Chen Xu, seeing its confusion, did not wish to explain further.

However, Wei Yuan was very clever and had already sensed something.

Chen Xu bent down and extended his palm to Wei Yuan, saying with a smile, "Brother Wei, Yuan, it's been a long time."

I'm sorry, I disappeared for more than ten days without explaining to you beforehand.

I'm sorry to have troubled you all during this time.

His voice was unusually low and gentle, even somewhat tender.

Wei Yuan looked up at him, remaining silent.

At that moment, it suddenly lowered its eyes, and with a leap, jumped into Chen Xu's palm.

"Brother Chen," Wei Yuan said, "Brother Chen and that demon have gone far away. We should hurry and go after them."
