4: Aura?

Immediately after, Xiao Li began to speak to Wei Xun: "My name is Xiao Li, and I am an orphan picked up by my Master!"

"Because when Master found me, I was placed under a pear tree, so Master gave me this name."

After Xiao Li finished speaking, she looked at Wei Xun with her clear, watery eyes, then smiled and said, "I see you're also alone, so we'll be friends from now on."

Wei Xun looked at Xiao Li's innocent and naive appearance, then nodded his mouse head in agreement.

"That's great!" Xiao Li saw Wei Xun agree, so she smiled and extended a finger to Wei Xun.

Wei Xun immediately understood and extended a front paw to touch Xiao Li's finger.

"But even though we've become friends!" Xiao Li continued, "You still need to be careful in the future; our Sect doesn't allow keeping animals."

When Xiao Li said this, she immediately ran to her room door, peered outside for a moment, and only after confirming no one was there did she close the door again and return to the table.

"You can live in my room from now on, and I'll bring you delicious food every day!" Xiao Li excitedly told Wei Xun on the table, "You'd best not sneak out, or if Master and the others see you, it'll be trouble."

Seeing Xiao Li's serious expression, Wei Xun could only nod in agreement.

At this moment, the sky outside the window had slowly darkened. Xiao Li lit an oil lamp in the room, then carried Wei Xun to her bed.

However, after Xiao Li got into bed, she didn't immediately sleep but sat cross-legged.

"Rice, I'm going to Cultivate for a bit before sleeping, so don't run around!" After Xiao Li finished speaking, she gently stroked Wei Xun's head with a finger, then closed her eyes and began to Cultivate.

A moment later, Wei Xun noticed that Xiao Li, sitting cross-legged on the bed, seemed to be enveloped by a faint white Qi, appearing and disappearing, and he didn't know what it was.

"What is this thing!"

Wei Xun curiously leaned over and sniffed with his nose. When he inhaled that Qi into his body, he only felt his body and mind at ease, as if a wonderful energy was flowing smoothly along his meridians, massaging his entire body.

Not only that, but Wei Xun, who closed his eyes and felt carefully, suddenly discovered that the progress bar in his mind was actually slowly increasing bit by bit.

"Is it that magical?" Wei Xun suddenly opened his eyes and began to greedily inhale the Qi surrounding Xiao Li.

Then, when Wei Xun closed his eyes and checked the progress bar again, it had indeed increased by more than ten points.

"What kind of energy is this?" Wei Xun curiously moved a bit closer, then tried to reach out and grasp the Qi, but he couldn't capture it.

"Could this be the legendary Spiritual Qi?" Wei Xun suddenly thought of this point, immediately widened his eyes, filled with pleasant surprise.

It seems that the progress bar in his mind can not only increase by eating to upgrade, but it also seems possible to increase it by Cultivating and absorbing Spiritual Qi!

But now he was just a small mouse, and he didn't know if he could Cultivate.

However, now was not the time to consider this issue. Since relying on Xiao Li to absorb the Spiritual Qi surrounding her during her Cultivation could also increase progress,

Then he could just follow along and Cultivate for now, and later see if he could learn a trick or two.

So Wei Xun leaned against Xiao Li's body, continuously breathing in the Qi floating in the air, and closed his eyes to carefully feel the increase of the progress bar in his mind.

This time, Xiao Li sat cross-legged for more than an hour; outside the house, the moon and stars had unknowingly become sparse.

Xiao Li opened her eyes, immediately stretched, and then let out a long yawn: "Cultivating is so tiring!"

Then Xiao Li looked at Wei Xun, who was leaning against her with his eyes closed, and immediately smiled: "Rice is already asleep!"

Hearing the movement, Wei Xun slowly opened his eyes. He had indeed almost fallen asleep just now.

But he was still paying attention to the progress bar in his mind.

The progress bar in his mind, which was previously over a thousand points, had actually increased to [Spirit Beast Realm Second Layer 3560 / 20000] after this period of time.

It has to be said that the speed of increasing progress by absorbing Spiritual Qi is also very good.

Although it didn't increase as quickly as eating the spiritual fruit, spiritual fruits are rare, but Cultivation can be done every day.

"Rice!" Xiao Li said, yawning again, "I'm sleepy, let's sleep together!"

As Xiao Li spoke, she picked up Rice and placed him on the inner side of the bed, then made a comfortable little nest for Wei Xun with the bedding.

"You can sleep here from now on, hehe!" Xiao Li contentedly placed Wei Xun in the little nest, then she also lay down in the covers and reached out a finger towards the distant oil lamp, extinguishing it.

"So amazing!" Wei Xun was also a bit surprised to see this. It seemed that this girl named Xiao Li had some abilities.

After the lamp was extinguished, Xiao Li pulled up the covers and slowly fell asleep.

However, Wei Xun, nestled on the side, tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Today's encounter made Wei Xun very excited, and he still hadn't calmed down.

The main reason was that the previous year had been too miserable, which led to Wei Xun, now that his luck had turned, somewhat disbelieving that everything before his eyes was real.

The more Wei Xun thought about it, the more emotional he became, and his eyes involuntarily became moist.

The year he spent as a mouse was too bitter; several times he was almost eaten by wild cats and venomous snakes. If it weren't for his quick reactions, he might have already turned into a pile of dung.

But looking at everything before him, Wei Xun finally wiped away the tears from his eyes. He was finally about to reach the Peak of his mouse life.

Thinking of this, Wei Xun smiled and slowly fell asleep, then fell into a beautiful dream, where he became an unparalleled Immortal Lord, surrounded by beautiful women, traveling the world at will, and being the sole supreme one.

"Hahaha!" Dreaming of these things, Wei Xun couldn't help but laugh.

By the time Wei Xun opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.

The sunlight from outside the house had already shone into the room.

The quilt on the bed had been neatly spread, and Xiao Li was nowhere to be seen.

Wei Xun yawned, then stretched, which awakened his body.

Grumble grumble...

Then Wei Xun felt his stomach rumble with hunger.

He didn't know if it was because he chose the Big Gulp Cultivation Technique, but Wei Xun only felt that his appetite was incredibly good now. Not only was his eating capacity astonishing, but he also digested very quickly.

Looking around the entire room, the only edible thing seemed to be that bag of red dates.

So Wei Xun jumped off the bed and immediately burrowed into the red date bag, starting to devour the food.

After eating his fill, his progress value increased by a full 32 points.

"Not bad, not bad!" Although it didn't increase much, it was still pretty good. Wei Xun patted his bulging belly, feeling very satisfied.

Just then, the room door was suddenly pushed open from outside.

Hearing the movement, Wei Xun's gene for hiding when in danger was immediately awakened, and he quickly burrowed deep into the bag to avoid being discovered.
