Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

On the other side, the man and the mouse returned to the room and looked at each other in silence.

The Fire Beast was the first to speak, and tears started to flow as soon as he spoke: "Master, where have you been for the past three years? Do you know how hard I, Shushu, have been looking for you? Do you know that I can't eat or sleep without seeing you, Shushu? Do you know that Shushu has lost a lot of weight, and now only weighs 200 pounds!"

Flamemon held up two fingers.

Well, from 201 kg to 200 kg, I have indeed lost a lot of weight.

The Fire Beast's tears and snot were all over its face. Chu Yu took a look and couldn't bear to look at it. He got back to the point: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

The Fire Beast said weakly, "It's nothing. Shushu came here specially to help you, Master. Shushu has been looking for you for three years. Fortunately, Shushu has a sensitive nose and can smell that you are in this inn right away."

Looking at the expression of Flamemon that was begging for praise, his eyes were filled with clear stupidity.

Yes, it is his little pet which is cute and adorable because I can’t find any other adjective to describe it.

He was very confused. Was this silly and cute little pet here to help him or to cause trouble?

After examining the little pet, Chu Yu praised and said, "After three years of not seeing you, you have become a little smarter."

Master, where did you get this from?

The Fire Beast's eyes were filled with tears, and he was very moved. You know, the master always said that he was stupid, and this was the first time he praised him for being smart.

The Firelight Beast was still enjoying the praise from its master when it heard its dear little master say coldly, "Luckily you showed up as a Firemane Rat. If someone discovered your identity as a Firelight Beast, you would have to die first."

The Firelight Beast shed two lines of clear tears. It was now extremely grateful to the Lord for reminding it to disguise itself as a Firemane Rat before it set out.

Your Majesty is truly Shushu’s lifesaver!

As it grew darker, a man and a mouse slept in bed.

The Fire Beast curled up at the end of the bed, recalling the smell of chestnuts, and heard its little master Liangliang say, "By the way, you said you smelled me in the inn, so why were you tied up in Shen Zhaozhao's room?"

"However, your performance is not bad. Remember, I am your master. If you have any second thoughts, then you will die."

Shushu now chooses to play dead...

The next morning, Shen Zhaozhao saw Xie Yanshu standing in front of the counter as soon as she came down the stairs. She stretched and greeted him in a crisp voice, "Good morning, senior brother!"

"Yeah." The tone was neither salty nor bland.

Okay, he still looks like this. She doesn’t want to be treated coldly by Xie Yanshu all the way.

Shen Zhaozhao walked quickly to Xie Yanshu and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be angry. I know you are worried about me, but I really want to hone myself. Besides, I have already gone down the mountain, and it is difficult to reverse what has been done."

He rolled his eyes and made a face: "If we really encounter danger, Senior Brother is so wise and brave that he should be able to protect us junior brothers and sisters."

Shen Zhaozhao's feelings towards Xie Yanshu are somewhat complicated. Apart from the setting in the book in her previous life that forced her to love him, the affection they had for each other during their childhood was real.

After her father passed away, she was still young and could not accept the fact that both her parents had left her. She was heartbroken and could not sleep for several whole nights.

It was Xie Yanshu. Even though he was exhausted from the heavy workload every day, he would still come to accompany her every night, tell her stories, and help her get out of the pain.

There is no unprovoked love between men and women when you are young. It is just the care and love of the elder brother for his younger sister, and the dependence of the little girl on her older brother.

Xie Yanshu was the only person other than her parents who treated her well since she was a child. Shen Zhaozhao was eager to hold on to this kindness, so she fell in love with him when she was fifteen years old.

However, because of her personality, she became vicious, which made Xie Yanshu feel annoyed with her and gradually distanced himself from her.

Apart from the plot, although she has no love for Xie Yanshu, she still regards him as a brother from the bottom of her heart.

Now nothing has happened, and the brother-sister relationship they had in childhood is still there. Of course, she still hopes to get along well with Xie Yanshu.

Xie Yanshu was a little dazed. It seemed that Shen Zhaozhao had not spoken to him in such a mischievous way for a long time.

Most of the time, she would throw tantrums, cry and blame other female practitioners just because they got a little closer to him, and she would even secretly bully the younger sisters who had just joined the sect.

He had never liked her like this. In his impression, the soft and cute little sister became more and more blurred, and was replaced by her noisy and crying face.

Looking at the bright face of the girl in front of him, Xie Yanshu's heart sank and he felt a little guilty.

He treated her as his sister and hoped that she would be sensible and obedient. Later, everyone said that she was his fiancée, so he subconsciously hoped that she would become the future Taoist partner he expected, dignified and gentle.

But she is spoiled, willful and sometimes not very likable.

Now that I think about it, maybe I was too strict with her. After all, she was just a little girl. In fact, she was lively, smart, and sometimes lovable.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xie Yanshu in a daze for a long time, Shen Zhaozhao felt a little worried. Is it possible that giving in won't work?

Xie Yanshu came back to his senses, rubbed Shen Zhaozhao's head, and said softly: "I'm fine, then... you must take care to protect yourself in the future, and come to me when there is danger."

Shen Zhaozhao subconsciously moved aside a little, not used to his intimate behavior.

Now that they have grown up, how can he still touch her head like he did when they were little?

When Chu Yu went downstairs, he saw such a picture of "harmony and friendship". His eyes were dark and he sneered.

The Fire Beast in his arms heard the noise and looked up, only to see that Chu Yu looked a little strange. He was a little worried: "Master?"

Chu Yu's mouth curled up, revealing a shallow dimple, and replied, "It's okay."

It curled up its body and felt a little chilly. If the owner said it was okay at this time, then there must be something wrong.

The stairs in the inn were a bit old, and Chu Yu walked on them, making a creaking sound. Shen Zhaozhao heard the footsteps and looked back, her eyebrows curved: "Good morning, Chu Yu!"

The good thing about her is that she never holds a grudge for too long.

"Good morning, senior sister." Chu Yu smiled harmlessly.

The fire beast in the arms: ...The master is so good at pretending.

Although the master seemed normal and slow when he was walking on the stairs just now, he was actually suppressing his internal strength with every step. Now he was being so pretentious in front of everyone.

The rat gave his owner a thumbs up, and felt inferior to him!

Seeing the fire beast in Chu Yu's arms, Shen Zhaozhao also greeted him warmly: "Good morning, Fire Rat."

The Fire Beast buried its head in its owner's arms. It didn't want to pay attention to the woman because she was the one who embarrassed it.

Shen Zhaozhao could see that it was somewhat dissatisfied with him, so he said temptingly: "I'll take you to eat peanuts, almonds, and the chestnuts you ate yesterday. Do you want to go?"

The Fire Beast immediately moved its head away from Chu Yu's arms, saliva flowing, brows excited, and then jumped directly into Shen Zhaozhao's arms.

Chu Yu's arms were empty. He looked at Shen Zhaozhao's back as he left with the Fire Beast in his arms. He couldn't help laughing: So this stupid rat was kidnapped into Shen Zhaozhao's room yesterday? Just because of a few chestnuts?

Xie Yanshu also laughed out loud: "She's quite cute, isn't she?" He said to Chu Yu.

Hearing the doting in Xie Yanshu's tone, Chu Yu pursed his lips, his eyes sparkling: "It's quite cute, but I'm talking about the fire-maned rat."

Watching Chu Yu leave, Xie Yanshu shook his head. This junior brother seemed really weird.

Shen Zhaozhao fed pistachios one by one to the fire beast, which opened its mouth wide and cried for food.

Seeing its greedy look, she began to persuade it to rebel: "I don't understand why you want to follow Chu Yu. Will he give you so many delicious nuts like I do? You will definitely be much happier following me than following him."

Firebeast: That seems to make sense, but you, woman, don’t even think about destroying the relationship between me and your master!

The owner said that if it has two minds, it must die.

Shen Zhaozhao continued, "Why don't you just follow me? As long as you follow me, I will give you all kinds of delicious food every day. Do you want to eat ham, chicken legs, duck legs, or peanuts, chestnuts, and walnuts?"

Flamemon: Why am I feeling a little moved?

Seeing the Flamebeast's saliva dripping onto the table, she felt very hopeful of success.

She continued to lie, "I'm telling the truth, you may not know Chu Yu. He doesn't look like someone who would love small animals."

She clasped her hands together and apologized to Chu Yu in her heart. Once this cute fire-maned rat agreed to follow her, she would clear Chu Yu's name.

"Hey, don't wink at me. Although you are cute, there is a difference between us. You like me so much, only if you become my pet can we develop further..."

"Is that so?" A young man's voice as clear as a spring sounded from above his head.

"Yes, yes!" Shen Zhaozhao pecked at the rice like a chick.

"How do you know Chu Yu doesn't care for small animals?" the voice continued.

"Guessed." Shen Zhaozhao blurted out.

Wait, that voice sounds familiar. The Fire Beast has already covered its head with its paws, acting as if it has nothing to do with it.

It was a close call. I almost agreed.

Shen Zhaozhao prepared himself mentally, turned his head stiffly, and met Chu Yu's playful and teasing gaze.

He looked down at her reaction and let out a few unfriendly chuckles.

Help! Is there anything more embarrassing than talking bad about someone behind their back and trying to steal their pet and getting caught in the act?

She couldn't stay there any longer, so she stood up, straightened her back, and walked out without looking around. The Fire Beast quickly jumped onto her shoulder, and the man and the mouse pretended nothing had happened.

"Squeak--" Just as it passed by Chu Yu, the Fire Beast's tail was pinched by its cruel master and it hurt. It was impossible for a mouse to face such a cruel and ruthless master.

It used its four limbs to grab Shen Zhaozhao's hair and clothes tightly, determined to die with them.

What was infuriating was that its owner, while being ruthless in his actions, spoke with a bit of grievance: "Is this how I am in Senior Sister's mind?"

There was no way to leave, not at all, Shen Zhaozhao accepted his fate and turned back.

She swallowed and laughed dryly, "Uh, sorry, sorry, I said that because I thought your pet was so cute. Junior brother is gentle, polite, elegant, open-minded and generous, and everyone can see it."

So let this little girl go!

She continued to make amends: "Junior brother, you see, I am not very familiar with you, and I don't know you very well, so what I say is naturally not credible, and you don't have to take it to heart."

"Oh, what senior sister said seems to be right. What about you? Shushu, aren't you happy following me?" Chu Yu reluctantly let Shen Zhaozhao go, and now it was the turn of the Fire Beast.

The Fire Beast pretended to be dead but it was useless. It expressed its loyalty with tears in its eyes: "Master, you are of course very kind to Shushu. Shushu is willing to follow you forever!"

Its owner is narrow-minded and stingy. If he finds out that it really has two minds, even if it doesn't die, its butt will definitely be kicked to pieces.

Shen Zhaozhao: “!!!”

This mouse can actually speak human language!

Moreover! Chu Yu gave it such a simple, objective and true name.

Hahahaha, she could hardly hold back her laughter.
