Chapter 28: The Rats
Like last time, Fanxing peeled off the human skin and painted delicate faces on them one by one. Each one was lifelike, two men and two women.

As for the skinned corpse, Yato naturally destroyed it.

After finishing all this, Fanxing carefully put away the four skins, then left the room and called out to Xinzhu and the pharmacist, saying, "Come on, follow me out."

Now that we have a new spiritual seed, of course we have to take it out and let it adapt to the environment.

"Meow meow meow~" Won't you take me with you?
Yato ran to Fanxing carrying Xinzhu on his back and looked up at Fanxing pitifully.

Fanxing rubbed its head and said, "You and the princess look after the house."

"Meow~" Yato looked aggrieved. He didn't want to be alone with that conceited guy.

The princess didn't even look at Yato. She had no objection to Fanxing's decision and continued to admire her freshly put on makeup.

It painted its blue eyelashes into a bright red, and found a star-shaped jewel necklace to wear around its neck.

"Let's go." Fanxing took the lead and walked out of the house. Seeing this, Xinzhu quickly jumped off Yato, and Yakushi also staggered to catch up.

After leaving the house, Fanxing took out the cards, put Hsinchu and the pharmacist in them, and then disappeared into the night.

Time passed quickly and it was midnight. Fanxing wandered around the streets of Hongguang City for a long time, but she didn't find any spiritual species to prey on.

Could it be that she has been too active recently and has eaten up all the nearby spiritual seeds?

How about walking a little further away?

When passing by a park, Fanxing saw a cute little wood spirit sleeping soundly on a broad leaf.

Glancing at the little guy, she quickly left with the pharmacist and Hsinchu.

Although she wanted to devour the spiritual seeds, she would not eat all spiritual seeds.

Compared to clean spiritual seeds, spiritual seeds with stronger desires are more to her taste.

The stars like the desire for gluttony... the desire for bloodlust... the desire for love... as well as hatred, resentment, jealousy, anger, etc.

As they walked, Fanxing suddenly thought of a question: Aren't Medicine Rat usually the leaders of the little moles? So, can Medicine Rat summon the little moles?
Teacher Hu said that hamsters are a very common spiritual species even in the surface world, but they are good at hiding, so they are not easy to see.

Thinking of this, Fanxing suddenly looked at the pharmacist at his feet.

The pharmacist shuddered all over when he saw Fanxing's sinister gaze.

Master... Master... What do you want to do?
Fanxing narrowed her eyes and asked, "Can you summon the little mole nearby?"

Pharmacist Mouse was very scared, tears welled up in his eyes, but he finally nodded gently.

"Very good." Fanxing nodded with satisfaction.

Then she found a secluded corner and said to Yaoshi Mouse, "You can start now."

The Medicine Rat nodded, and then a series of strange rhythmic sounds came from his throat.

"Squeak~squeak~squeak~squeak~~"

As the cries continued to spread, rustling sounds began to be heard in the surrounding grass.

Then, a palm-sized gray-haired mouse poked its head out.

The mouse's ears were particularly large, as big as half its body, its claws and teeth were extremely sharp, and it had a long, thin, pointed tail.

This is the little mole.

After the first little hamster appeared, the second, the third, the fourth...

Soon, Fanxing was surrounded by a group of little groundhogs. A rough estimate showed that there were at least thirty or fifty of them.

The little groundhog is naturally timid and lives deep underground, so even if it does not have the purification skills like the little wood spirit and the little flower spirit, it can live well in the surface world without being affected by the weirdness.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~" The pharmacist mouse was still calling the little gophers, and then all the little gophers that gathered together walked towards the stars step by step, as if they had been fed a love potion.

The little groundhogs have very low intelligence and only act on instinct, and obeying the call of the pharmacist rat is their instinct.

Just when they were less than two meters away from Fanxing, Fanxing's legs suddenly disappeared, replaced by sky blue tentacles.

Just like the slime in the anime.

These tentacles are the manifestation of Tai Sui's true body.

The tentacles swallowed dozens of small gophers in an instant with lightning speed and quickly decomposed them.

Cool! So cool!
It feels so good to absorb spiritual energy freely.

The little groundhog is greedy. Although he has low intelligence, he has a strong desire to eat, which suits Fanxing's taste very well.

When the remaining little groundhogs saw their fellows being eaten, they screamed and their faces were full of fear.

They wanted to run, but because of the presence of the Pharmacist Rat, they couldn't move a step.

In fact, Yaoshi Rat is even more scared than them.

Brutal, so brutal! All the creatures it eats are its own kind! How could someone be so brutal?
Fanxing felt that she was about to be upgraded. Although each little mole provided very little spiritual energy, small amounts would add up to a lot, and mass production could achieve qualitative changes.

"Continue!" Fanxing urged the pharmacist.

The pharmacist did not dare to resist at all and could only continue to call on his fellow tribesmen. Of course, his own life was more important than the lives of his fellow tribesmen.

Besides, it was born in the inner world and has nothing to do with these little gophers in the outer world.

As time went on, more and more little gophers were summoned, and soon the number gathered to over a hundred.

Although the little groundhogs are not very intelligent, when they see their fellows being devoured one after another, there will always be one or two who can overcome their instincts and rise up to resist.

So when Fanxing was eating, a few of them suddenly jumped up and attacked Fanxing.

The other little gophers seemed to be encouraged and they jumped up and attacked Fanxing.

However, as soon as they jumped up, the tentacles under Fanxing's body suddenly opened up, changing from the original cylindrical shape to a transparent curtain-like shape, instantly catching the little gophers that were rushing towards them.

After being caught, the little moles decomposed at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into spiritual energy and being absorbed by the stars.

Finally, when it devoured the 150th one, Fanxing's aura began to surge.

She closed her eyes tightly, savoring the pleasure brought by the upgrade, which was the satisfaction of being filled with spiritual energy.

After an unknown amount of time, Fanxing opened her eyes again, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

Then the tentacles under her body opened like flowers, and one dense stone after another fell from them.

The probability of F-level spirit seeds dropping dense stone when swallowed by stars is 5%. This is the average probability, but there will be fluctuations in actual operation.

She controlled her tentacles to roll up the dense-grained stone and placed it in her palm. After counting, she found that there were only 4 in total.

This face is really a bit dark.

There are three skills that the little mole can master: one is "gnawing", one is "burrowing", and the other is "tail drilling".

(Note: A hamster can only master one skill by nature, but different individuals master different skills.

Note: Like the Little Wood Spirit and the Little Flower Spirit, the Little Ground Rat's life force is inherently low, so even if it evolves one level, it's still the lowest F level.
Gnawing and tail drilling are both offensive skills, but one attacks with teeth and the other attacks with a flexible tail.

Burrowing is an auxiliary skill that allows the mole to quickly dig holes underground, thus helping the entire tribe to hide their whereabouts.

Fanxing usually can't see the little shrews because they only move underground.

Among the four dense-grained stones that Fanxing just obtained, two are for drilling into the ground, one is for gnawing, and one is for tail drilling.

They're not all that powerful, but they're better than nothing! I'll go to the ghost market sometime and sell them all for cash.

After putting away the four dense-grained stones, the tentacles under Fanxing's body were quickly retracted and turned into legs again.

She turned to the pharmacist and said, "Okay, let the rest leave."

There were still some little gophers left that had not been eaten, and Fanxing planned to let them go. He couldn't just kill all the fish.

Besides, she has already leveled up, and the little mole can't provide much "experience points" anymore.

Hearing Fanxing's words, the pharmacist felt relieved and immediately squeaked. The remaining little hamsters immediately disappeared into the grass as if they were running for their lives.

After that, the pharmacist bowed to Fanxing with a flattering smile on his face. With tears in his eyes, it was so funny.

Fanxing patted it with satisfaction and said, "Good job."

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~" The pharmacist nodded repeatedly. Turning his gaze away from the pharmacist, Fanxing took out the black bracelet and tested his upgraded self.

After reading it, Fanxing showed a satisfied smile on her face.

Painted Skin has been upgraded and has also mastered an enhanced skill that can increase attack and speed at the same time, which is very suitable for her as an agile attacker.

Tai Sui also learned a new skill, which is a healing skill that can save lives.

Generally speaking, healing skills may become ineffective if the patient encounters a fatal injury. After all, healing is not a panacea and there may be times when it cannot be cured.

But the Libra of Life can divide the fatal injury and Tai Sui equally, so that the fatal injury becomes non-fatal.

Is Tai Sui afraid of getting hurt? Obviously not.

However, Fanxing felt that she might not use this skill very often, as her spirit seeds could directly heal themselves with their own flesh and blood.

So it can only be used when treating others.

In addition to comprehending new skills, Tai Sui’s plundering skills have an additional skill slot.

In other words, Fanxing can plunder one more skill from other spirit species and give it to Huapi.

However, there are no suitable spiritual seeds to devour now, so this matter can only be put aside for now.

Having eaten so much, Fanxing decided to stop here for today.

She said with regret, "It's a pity that I didn't get to try out my skills in Hsinchu."

Xinzhu, who followed Fanxing closely, immediately became determined when he heard this, and decided to behave well next time they went out.

As soon as Fanxing returned home, she saw Yato arguing with the princess.

Yato's tail wrapped around the princess' neck, and the princess held Yato's forehead in her mouth.

Fanxing asked, "What are you doing?"

When the two spirit species saw their master coming back, they immediately separated quickly and pretended nothing had happened.

Yato trotted over to Fanxing, rubbed his head against Fanxing's trouser leg in a flattering manner, and kept making soft and sticky sounds.

If other spiritualists saw this, they would be shocked.

Is this still an evil spirit? Why is it even more clingy than a domestic cat?

The princess was angrily fixing her makeup, but her carefully dressed appearance was completely ruined by Yato's claws.

Fanxing asked with a stern face, "Fighting again?"

These two guys have naturally incompatible auras, and this is not the first time they have fought.

"Meow meow meow~" Because he was afraid of his master's punishment, Yato quickly shook his head to deny it.

No, dear master, we are playing games.

The princess glanced at Yato: What a flatterer.

"Fighting...is not good!" At this time, Xinzhu reached out and touched Yato's head and said, "We...are a family."

Seeing this, Yato rubbed Xinzhu's palm with his head affectionately, then bent down and motioned Xinzhu to ride on his back.

Perhaps because he was already familiar with Yato, this time Xinzhu didn't hesitate at all. He lifted his short legs and climbed onto Yato's back, letting it carry him around the house.

Letting the spirits move freely, Fanxing went into the house, took off her human skin, and changed her clothes.

She originally wanted to take a bath, but suddenly remembered that the roses she bought had not been planted yet, so she went to the yard and turned on the lights in the yard.

The rose seedlings were still small, so it was not difficult to plant them. Fanxing found a suitable location in the corner of the wall and planted them.

At this moment, she keenly heard the sounds coming from the flowers not far away, so she said, "Come out."

The rustling sound among the flowers was heard again.

Fanxing said again: "I knew you were here a long time ago, no need to hide."

This time, something finally flew out from the flowers. Who else could it be but the rose fairy?

These days, there is a bouquet of fresh roses on the windowsill of Fanxing's house every day.

The flower beds in the yard are growing more and more lush.

Every day when Fanxing returned home, she would find the house spotless, and even the housework she had forgotten to do had been done.

How could she not notice such an obvious change?

The flower fairy looked at the expressionless Fanxing with a very nervous look, rubbing her two little hands together constantly.

"You haven't left yet?" Fanxing asked.

"Ah~" The flower demon couldn't speak, so he could only open his mouth and nod.

"Why don't you leave? Aren't you afraid of me?" Fanxing asked again.

The rose demon had seen her devouring the spirit seed.

The rose fairy was indeed scared, but she still shook her head pretending to be strong. She wanted to stay because it was safer here than outside.

Although the man in front of her looked scary, he had never hurt her.

Fanxing saw her purpose and asked, "Do you want my protection?"

"Ah~ah~" the flower demon nodded vigorously.

Fanxing thought about it and felt that it was not impossible, as she just happened to be in need of a gardener to take care of the roses.

Speaking of which, roses and roses are relatives.

Thinking of this, she said to the rose fairy, "Okay, then you can stay, but you have to help me take care of this rose."

"Ah~ah~" The flower fairy immediately patted her chest and assured that there was no problem.

In fact, she was attracted by the rose in the beginning and made the noise because she could feel that it was a flower seedling cultivated by the Prosperous Honey Whisperer and possessed special powers.

The rose fairy was seen flying above the roses, with specks of green light emanating from her wings. After landing on the seedlings, the newly planted seedlings immediately became lively.

"Not bad, not bad." Fanxing nodded with satisfaction.

After receiving the praise, the rose fairy immediately flew happily to the top of Fanxing's head and circled around, and her fear of Fanxing was much less.

In the room, the Medicine Rat lay on the window sill, watching the interaction between Fanxing and the Flower Fairy, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Does that little flower demon know how cruel the person talking to her is?

Oh, I’m so scared.
