Chapter 24: The Battle of Earth Spirit Rats

Ye Yunqi looked at the ground where the Earth Spirit Rat jumped out.

The ground was extremely flat, without even a trace of excavation.

It is worthy of being born from the earth.

However, this also made Ye Yunqi realize that if he let the Earth Spirit Rat dig a tunnel for him, the performance would definitely not be as amazing as what the Earth Spirit Rat had just shown.

Because the original earth spirit rat only moved by relying on the earth's energy instead of digging the ground, but digging a tunnel for others to pass through is not a tricky thing.

Ye Yunqi looked at the size of the Earth Spirit Rat and found that it was about the same size as his palm.

Although he was born with the appearance of a mouse, he was not as hideous as in his previous life. Instead, he was somewhat cute.

It looks chubby, and if I were to make an analogy, it looks more like a hamster?
Ye Yunqi and the Earth Spirit Rat also established a connection with each other. In addition, the Earth Spirit Rat had some human nature, so Ye Yunqi tried to let him dig the ground.

I saw the ground rat digging a hole quickly, and soon a rat fell into the hole.

"Stop, stop." Ye Yunqi looked at the speed and the soil dug up nearby.

It seems that digging a tunnel and running away is still a long way off.

After leaving the quiet room, Ye Yunqi threw the Earth Spirit Rat to Su Muyao.

Su Muyao is just a mortal. Although the Earth Spirit Rat is timid, it will not run away when facing a mortal.

In addition, it has become more familiar with Ye Yunqi, and with the connection enhanced by the system, the Earth Spirit Rat's trust and loyalty to Ye Yunqi is far beyond the reach of ordinary spirit beasts.

The Earth Spirit Rat fell steadily into Su Muyao's hands.

"Rats?" Su Muyao's brows tightened. "Rats are born at home too?"

As he said this, he was about to kill the earth spirit rat.

The Earth Spirit Rat sensed a hint of murderous intent, but did not choose to attack. Instead, it jumped away quickly, landed on the ground, and disappeared in an instant.

Ye Yunqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is not an ordinary mouse, but a spiritual beast. This guy is as timid as a mouse and is extremely sensitive to danger. It would be nice to keep it at home as a housekeeper."

Su Muyao stared at the ground in a daze: "I see, then, where is this mouse?"

Ye Yunqi felt it and found that the rat was already hiding three meters underground.

Then he called out in his heart, and the Earth Spirit Rat slowly climbed up.

But his dark eyes were staring at Su Muyao, as if he was on guard.

"I made a mistake..." Su Muyao said as she was about to approach the Earth Spirit Rat, but the Earth Spirit Rat ran away in a flash.

Su Muyao was a little embarrassed.

At this time, Lu Yuaner heard the noise outside and came out. When she saw the Earth Spirit Mouse, her eyes lit up: "Wow, what a cute mouse!"

The ground spirit rat seemed to be particularly fond of Lu Yuan'er. Instead of running away, it stared at Lu Yuan'er blankly.

"Yuan'er, bring it here." Ye Yunqi said.

"Oh." Lu Yuaner squatted down gently and stretched out her palm. "Come here. You are so cute. I will persuade the master not to kill you, okay?"

The earth spirit rat might really be an expert at avoiding danger and seeking good fortune. It seemed to sense Lu Yuaner's kindness and crawled into Lu Yuaner's palm.

This made Su Muyao a little envious: "Sister Yuan'er is so lucky. This is not an ordinary mouse, but the master's spiritual beast. I scared it before, and now it is estranged from me. But it is close to Sister Yuan'er."

"So it's a spirit beast. No wonder I liked it the first time I saw it." Lu Yuan'er said in surprise. Then she looked down at the spirit rat in her palm and praised, "It's worthy of being a spirit beast. It's so cute. Its eyes seem to have spirits!"

Seeing that Lu Yuan'er and the Earth Spirit Rat were getting along well, Ye Yunqi said, "Then let Lu Yuan'er raise this Earth Spirit Rat. It is best at avoiding danger and seeking good fortune. If it becomes alert, it means danger is coming. And it is best at digging holes. I want it to dig a basement for us so that we can hide there in the future."

"So amazing?" Lu Yuan'er said, "What does he eat? I will definitely take good care of him."

The ground spirit rat mainly relies on the earth's energy to replenish its energy, so its demand for food is much less.

Ye Yunqi also received the corresponding feeding precautions from the system. So he said: "It eats everything, just give it some leftovers. Nowadays, we often eat Lingxiu and the like, so throwing bones to it is not bad for it."

"It's so easy to raise. Is this a spiritual beast?" Su Muyao watched from afar.

Just as she was about to get closer, the ground spirit rat raised its head and looked at her, as if it was on guard against her.

So I didn't dare to get close and just stood there and watched.

"Don't think it's timid and cowardly. If a fight really comes, you are no match for it." Ye Yunqi did not reveal the true realm of the Earth Spirit Rat.

After all, to be honest, he, who is at the second level of Qi training, is not as good as the Earth Spirit Rat.

It's so embarrassing.

However, he was holding a talisman now, so he was not afraid of a small spirit beast in the middle stage of the first stage, so he said frankly that they were not as good as the earth spirit rats.

He, Ye Yunqi, is no worse than a ground spirit rat.

Lu Yuaner put the Earth Spirit Rat on her shoulder and said, "Then I'll show it to the other sisters!"

Having said that, he went into the inner room.

Hearing a cry of surprise from the inner room, Ye Yunqi suddenly felt something was wrong and said quickly, "Then I will go back to practice first."

After the words fell, Su Muyao only saw a look of grievance in her eyes, and she lowered her head and responded.

Ye Yun fled to the quiet room as if escaping.

But he couldn't escape for long.

Soon, it was time to eat.

There was a khaki-colored ground rat on Lu Yuan'er's shoulder. It was as fat and chubby as the most well-behaved hamster.

While Lu Yuan'er was feeding herself, she put the leftover bones into the hamster's mouth.

Although it is called bones, Lu Yuan'er really likes this earth spirit rat and always leaves a lot of meat behind.

The ground spirit rat was like a chinchilla. It picked up the bone with its two front paws and chewed it slowly.

The concubines standing by looked at her with their eyes melted.

Su Muyao looked at the others and said, "Master, where did this spirit beast come from? Can you get some more?"

Ye Yunqi thought to himself: Oh no, it’s coming!
As the saying goes, we don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

I rashly threw the task of raising it to Lu Yuaner, but it is a spiritual beast after all.

Don’t you want the other concubines?

He was a generous man and was always gentle to his concubines.

How could a concubine not take a look?

But this Earth Spirit Rat was given by the system, and there is no second one.

So he said calmly: "It's just a coincidence. You can't ask for such things."

Lin Wanwan, who was delicate in nature, loved small animals the most. She looked at Lu Yuaner teasing the earth spirit mouse eagerly and said, "Sister Yuaner, can you lend me this spirit animal to play with?"

Lu Yuaner looked at Ye Yunqi, then at the Earth Spirit Rat, and said, "This Earth Spirit Rat is very shy. Why don't we ask the Master?"

Lin Wanwan turned her gaze to Ye Yunqi again.

Lin Wanwan was delicate, her body like a willow swaying in the wind. When Ye Yunqi saw her weak little eyes, he could hardly bear it.
