Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 488 - 261: Unexpected

After he finished speaking, he lifted up the mouse he was holding, and under the sunlight, the mouse's body emitted a white glow, which seemed somewhat translucent, eliciting sounds of admiration from the surrounding children.

The Brocade Fur Rat curled its lips—it was not just any ordinary mouse. The small body was filled with the Essence Blood of the Ancient Exotic Beasts, far beyond comparison with the mundane mice. These little brats were truly making a big fuss over something insignificant, unaccustomed to the world.

A white cloud drifted by, blocking the sunlight. The children immediately started urging the little boy to move a few steps away so that they could continue to admire it in the sunlight.

The little boy glanced at Cui Cui, who was intent on enjoying her pastry without making any objection, and then carried the mouse several steps forward, standing under the sunlight. Thus, the scene before repeated itself, continuing to astonish the children around them.

At that moment, the Brocade Fur Rat sharply noticed that it could move its body. It stealthily glanced at Cui Cui, who was engrossed in devouring her pastry, not even lifting her head once, her neck adorned with that silent wooden plaque.

She instantly understood that the closer she was to the little girl, the Power of Humanity inside her flowed like a spring with a source, continuously; and as she moved away, the power would dissipate like rootless duckweed, creating an opportunity for her to break free.

At that moment, hope rekindled in her heart. She mustered all her strength and leaped from the hands of the little boy, landing precisely on the ground. Following that, she felt a lightness over her as the suppressing power on her weakened.

Without hesitation, she started to run wildly, doing her utmost to distance herself from Cui Cui.

Her escape stunned the children. They hadn't expected the seemingly statuesque quiet little mouse to suddenly become so vigorous. Especially the snot-nosed little boy, from whose hands the mouse had escaped, now in a dilemma on how to explain to Cui Cui.

Thus began a grand chase. The children yelled and tried to block and capture the darting little mouse, with Cui Cui joining in. She ran laughing, seemingly indifferent to whether she caught the mouse or not—she was enjoying the fun.

Lion Camel City hadn't been so lively for a long time. The excited children ran around noisily, and their laughter filled the camp, drawing the attention of the working adults, who stopped to ask about what was going on. Only then did they learn that a beautiful white mouse had somehow entered their midst.

At the children's request, the adults also nodded with a smile, promising to help catch the mouse if they spotted her. But these were merely perfunctory gestures by the adults.

Amid the noisy sounds, the Brocade Fur Rat ran frantically. Her goal was clear, to keep away from Cui Cui, and she moved in the opposite direction of wherever Cui Cui approached from.

In the midst of this chase, the children noticed that the little mouse seemed to be getting progressively faster, while the Brocade Fur Rat used the time to gradually weaken the influence of the Power of Humanity within her.

Gradually distancing herself from Cui Cui, the immovable great mountain she faced began to show a slight sign of shifting. In this scenario, the little mouse appeared even more joyous, like a white bolt of lightning, effortlessly escaping through the children's encirclement. Deep inside, a bold spirit emerged, almost wishing she could stand up and tell them in human language: "Catching up to me is just a dream."

When a fissure was pried open in the mountain of Human Path that weighed down upon her body, the Brocade Fur Rat felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Since achieving mastery in her cultivation, she had never experienced such a pitiful state, which now brought a surge of bitterness to her heart.

Turning her head to glance at the relentless children chasing her, a glint of ferocity flashed through her eyes. She felt she was barely able to restrain the murderous intent brewing within her, tempted to revert to her true form and completely take care of these children.

However, upon seeing Cui Cui trailing behind, she wisely abandoned this thought. She was well aware that unless she could completely purge the Power of Humanity from her body, coming close to this little girl would cause her Mana to be suppressed once again; finding such an opportunity to escape would then become exceedingly difficult.

With this realization, her face turned sullen, and she inwardly vowed that once she dealt with the suppression of Human Path within her, she must return to this land and utterly exterminate the detestable human race, sparing none, especially these despised children who deserved to be cut into a thousand pieces.

As she pondered, her speed increased, turning into a white blur in the eyes of the children, causing many of them to stop chasing and stand agape at the scene unfolding before them.

"She runs so fast," they exclaimed in admiration.

Yet the Brocade Fur Rat paid no attention to these sincere praises from the children. For her, the most crucial thing was to leave this place; she could already taste the flavor of freedom.

While maintaining high speed, she glanced over her shoulder with a sneer, longing to say a cocky goodbye to them.

However, the world is wonderfully unpredictable, often surprising you when you least expect it, hence the ancient saying: Fortune lies within disaster, and disaster can be the harbinger of fortune.

A moment ago, the Brocade Fur Rat was full of pride, but the next, she recognized the cruelty of fate. Perhaps because she was too joyous in her run, or too focused on watching the children, she failed to notice the figure that appeared ahead.

When a high-speed object hits your leg with unstoppable momentum, you can imagine how it feels. Lu Yu felt this keenly in that moment.

A surge of intense pain hit him, but having been through numerous battles, Lu Yu was accustomed to such pain and merely frowned slightly, quickly recovering, as his body now well-trained, such collisions could cause pain but not physical harm.

Sounds reminiscent of ocean tides seemed to emanate from his body, invoking the image of a vast sea in one's mind, and the injuries on his body soon vanished.

Lu Yu gently bowed his head, spotting the culprit of this mishap. He slowly lifted the dazed little mouse from the ground, a mysterious smile on his face.

In the instant of collision with Lu Yu, the Brocade Fur Rat felt as if she had hit an iron plate, the tremendous force briefly causing her to lose some memories.
