Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 487 - 260: Little Mouse

At that moment, she was horrified to discover that the sighs escaping her lips had turned into the faint squeaks of a mouse. She quickly let out a few more sounds, but they were all still the squeaks of a mouse.

In that instant, she became just like her former self, as if her once proud cultivation had completely vanished. She felt as if she had reverted to that little mouse scurrying all over Mount Ling, powerless and inferior.

When she tried to summon the mana within her, she realized that the dreadful Power of Humanity had thoroughly sealed it away.

Now, she was no different from an ordinary mouse, vulnerable even to the strength of a child who could easily kill her.

She let out a frustrated squeak which sounded rather sharp in the pitch-black night, but because her body was so small, no one noticed.

Looking with a complex expression at the family of three, who had sunk into deep sleep on the bed, she had not expected that a single careless move would lead to her total defeat, and now her years of cultivation were completely sealed within this tiny body by the terrifying Power of Humanity.

She had never imagined that such a simple wooden plaque, seeming like nothing more than a child's playful creation, could contain such terrifying Power of Humanity which gave her no chance whatsoever to resist before it forcefully sealed the power within her body.

Even though her heart was filled with so much unwillingness and regret, she had no good solutions. The Power of Humanity inside her was like a massive mountain, firmly suppressing her own mana, making it so that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move it in the slightest.

Meanwhile, atop the city walls of Lion Camel City, sat a Scholar in green robe, meditating with eyes closed. With each breath, the light of the sun, moon, and stars slowly descended, draping him in a layer of silver radiance, making him seem like a Celestial God descended to earth.

After sensing some movement not too far away, he smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "I wonder which unfortunate Demon has bumped into Cui Cui's hands." He could clearly feel the Power of Humanity he had left in the wooden plaque being activated.

This force had been left to prevent the survivors of Lion Camel City from being overwhelmed by floods, and it had protected everyone during the great battle against the three Demons. After the arrival of Jixia Academy, it had become even stronger.

Lu Yu could say without exaggeration that even if the Demon King made a move, this power would be sufficient to seal him.

The next day, Cui Cui slowly opened her big eyes, waking from a deep sleep, only to see her room empty. Her parents had already gotten up to work, not wanting to wake their sleeping daughter, hoping she could rest a bit longer.

Sunlight filtered through the worn walls of the room, casting patches of mottled light upon the opposite wall, and as light rays traversed the space, the dust floating in the air became clearly visible.

Cui Cui stretched out her little hand to touch a beam of light, her thin and somewhat withered hand warming in the sunlight, seeming to shimmer with dazzling brilliance.

The little girl played alone with the sunshine, and the room was instantly filled with her innocent laughter. She got up from a bed made of a few broken planks and happily paced around, measuring the size of the room with her little feet, her thumb in her mouth and her eyes curving into crescents as if she had thought of something joyful.

Just at that moment, the little girl seemed to see something wonderful. Her eyes instantly widened as if a light sparkled within them. In her view, a small white mouse as pure as jade was standing in the corner of the room, looking at her.

Its white body and round ears, paired with those tiny, round eyes, exuded a spirit of cleverness that made the little girl fall in love with the little mouse at first sight.

The pure and crisp voice of a child rang out, "What a cute little mouse."

The little girl had never seen such an adorable mouse before and couldn't help but sigh in wonder. She carefully watched the mouse hiding in the corner, tiptoeing closer, afraid that any noise she made would scare away the cute little creature.

However, her concerns were clearly unnecessary. As she gradually approached the mouse, it was utterly unable to move. The Power of Humanity within it grew stronger with Cui Cui's approach, so that now it couldn't budge and could only watch, wide-eyed, as the little girl drew nearer and gently cradled it in her hands.

Looking at Cui Cui holding the mouse, her eyes brimmed with affection. She adored the cute little creature in front of her, gingerly poking it with her finger to find that it still couldn't move at all.

So, Cui Cui said to it cheerfully, "Little fella, don't worry, I will take good care of you."

That day, the children of Lion Camel City were all flocking around the little girl Cui Cui. It wasn't because she was the little hero who had saved their town, but because of the cute little mouse in her hands.

A little boy with snot dripping from his nose was holding a carefully made pastry, presenting it with a flattering smile to Cui Cui, "Cui Cui, this is a pastry my mom made, it's really tasty. I'll give it to you if you let me touch the little mouse, okay?" As he spoke, he sniffed hard, drawing back the snot under his nose, but it quickly dripped down again.

Cui Cui glanced at the little boy and then at the pastry in his hands. She swallowed her saliva stealthily and said with some concern, "Then you must be gentle, this little mouse is very fragile."

What the group of kids failed to notice was that when Cui Cui said those words, the mouse in her hand secretly rolled its eyes. To think that a Demon would be called fragile by a little girl was simply a disgrace to its demonic life. It knew that it could wipe out all these little brats with just a slap, but looking at the shining Power of Humanity inside its body, it had to admit that it was indeed very fragile at the moment, and utterly powerless.

The Power of Humanity within it was being stimulated by the aura of the wooden plaque on Cui Cui's body, growing even stronger, so that now, even moving was a luxury, let alone trying to regain its strength.

In the end, Cui Cui couldn't resist the temptation of the pastry after all. The pastries from Auntie Niu were famously delicious throughout Lion Camel City, supremely delectable, and for a little girl who loved to eat, they were simply irresistible. So she carefully handed the little mouse over to the boy, repeatedly telling him to be gentle.

The little boy nodded vigorously, his two stripes of snot drawing arcs in the air, almost swearing he would be careful. He then took the immaculately white little mouse into his hands, his face breaking into a silly grin.

"This little mouse is really beautiful, just like it's made of jade," he praised earnestly.
