The Western Rat King, who had nothing to do, strolled around the ship. He rubbed his belly and felt the urge to eat again.
This Rat King doesn't believe that there isn't any decent food on such a big ship. The crew must have hidden something!
With that thought in mind, the Western Rat King rolled his eyes and immediately began searching through the various cabins on the ship.
Huh?
The Western Rat King, who had found nothing again, was about to leave the clean and tidy cabin. Suddenly, he glanced at a few books that were casually placed next to the bed. He couldn't help but recall what Lu Qingshan had said. He couldn't help but think of something.
Without hesitation, the Western Rat King immediately jumped onto the bed and flipped through the books.
On the cover of the first ancient book, there were a few squiggly words written in tiny characters.
Although it hadn't specifically learned the human language, after it gained intelligence, it had mingled in the human city for a period of time. Under the influence of what it saw and heard, it could more or less recognize some simple words.
"Uh … Swordsman's Biography? I don't recognize the first two words, but it seems to be a ranger's biography.
I don't know what these humans are thinking. Do they like swords that much? Even writing a ranger's biography has something to do with swords.
Swords are cold and boring. I thought only Lu Qingshan would be interested. "
The Western Rat King muttered a few words and no longer cared about it. It threw the Swordsman's Biography to the side and picked up another slightly thinner ancient book.
"South … Sea … Spirit … Beast Diagram!" This time, the Western Rat King recognized the five big words on the cover of the book.
Spirit Beast!?
After stuttering and reading the title of the book word by word, the Western Rat King's eyes suddenly lit up. He flipped through the book as if he had found a treasure.
As soon as he flipped to the first page, a very meticulously drawn picture of a grayish-white whale came into view.
The whale's body was like a mountain. The blowhole on the top of its head opened up like a volcanic crater. The fins on its tail were heart-shaped, wide and flat. An ancient aura came from it.
There was a detailed introduction at the bottom of the picture. The Western Rat King used his poor literacy skills to read it word by word. "Long Life Whale … The most ancient spirit beast in the South Sea … Lifespan … Almost unlimited … Body huge … Hibernating all year round … There is a small world in the whale's stomach …"
Huh? Long Life Whale that could transform into an island that the storyteller talked about?
So, this kind of thing actually exists? Is this a spirit beast?
The West Rat King pondered for a moment before shaking its head. It dipped its little paw in its saliva and flipped to the next page impatiently.
A picture of a mighty and ferocious flood dragon with scales, horns on its head, and five claws appeared on the page.
The Western Rat King was instantly immersed in this strange world. He was completely unaware of the changes in his surroundings.
After a long time, when he carefully flipped to the last page of this thin ancient book, he still felt somewhat unsatisfied.
Bring it back and slowly savor it!
In an instant, the Western Rat King made a decision. He grabbed the book with his little claws and prepared to leave.
"Forget it after reading it. Are you still going to take it away?"
The sudden voice startled the Western Rat King.
The Western Rat King, who was too engrossed in the spirit beast picture, did not notice that a young girl had appeared in the cabin.
The young girl's clear eyes revealed curiosity. She sized up the Western Rat King and clicked her tongue. "That's strange. There's a big rat that likes to read?"
'I was careless!'
The Western Rat King cursed inwardly.
If she was a mortal, then so be it. If she was discovered, then so be it. It was not a big deal.
However, the young girl in front of him was a cultivator. She looked very young, but her cultivation had already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. She was even a level higher than Lu Qingshan.
The Western Rat King was aware of its own capabilities. Although it was a Second Stage Monster Beast, it did not have any decent attack methods. Its combat strength was basically zero. This young girl was an existence it could not afford to provoke!
While the Western Rat King was in a panic, a thought suddenly flashed through its mind.
"Squeak, squeak!"
The Western Rat King raised its little head and looked at the young girl. Its eyes were filled with confusion as it squeaked.
Seeing the Western Rat King squeaking at her, the young girl could not help but be stunned. A strange expression flashed through her eyes as she said, "You don't understand what I'm saying?"
The Western Rat King was about to fiercely nod its little head. In the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint, it suddenly came to its senses. Its little head shook randomly, and it squeaked incessantly.
"I must be thinking too much. How could there be a Monster Beast on the ship? Or a Monster Beast that can read books? "Seeing the Western Rat King's actions, the young girl nodded her head, pretending to be serious.
Seeing that the young girl no longer doubted him, the Western Rat King's tensed nerves finally relaxed.
I almost exposed myself. Fortunately, this Rat King is quick-witted and reacted quickly enough.
The Western Rat King thought inwardly.
"It seems like it's just an ordinary rat. Since that's the case, you can leave." The young girl's voice contained a trace of craftiness.
After obtaining the young girl's permission, the Western Rat King forcibly suppressed the joy in its heart. It jumped up and calmly left the cabin at the speed of an ordinary rat. At the same time, it couldn't help but give itself a thumbs up in its mind for being quick-witted.
One is marked by the company one keeps. After following Lu Qingshan for so long, my IQ has clearly increased!
However, why do I feel like something is wrong?
Before the Western Rat King could figure out what was wrong, he had just slipped out of the cabin door when he discovered that a shadow had enveloped him.
He raised his head and saw the young girl blocking the cabin door. She tilted her head and looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Oh?"
Only then did the Western Rat King realize what was going on. His face immediately turned pale.
Humans are too cunning!!!
.....
Knock, knock, knock —
Inside the cabin, Lu Qingshan, who was concentrating on studying the Sword Qi, was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in." Lu Qingshan came back to his senses and put away the jade scroll.
The cabin door was gently pushed open, and a young girl wearing a light green robe came in.
The young girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her eyebrows were curved, her small nose was slightly upturned, and her cheeks had dimples. Her eyes were pitch-black, and she looked very quick-witted.
In the girl's hand was the West Rat King, who had a gloomy expression.
"Um, Lu Qingshan, I'm back." The young girl was holding the Western Rat King by the neck and hanging in midair. He awkwardly waved his little paw at Lu Qingshan. "I also brought back a fellow Daoist for you …"
Seeing Lu Qingshan, the young girl finally let go of her hand that was holding the Western Rat King.
The Western Rat King, who had been freed from his shackles, hurriedly slipped back to Lu Qingshan's side. He complained pitifully, "Lu Qingshan, this is a bad woman. She tricked me …"
The corner of Lu Qingshan's mouth unconsciously twitched.
"My name is Hidden Little Sword." The young girl went straight to the point. Her voice was extremely clear and sweet.
"Lu Qingshan."
