On this evening, Chen Xu was inside the magical cavern in the corner of the kitchen.
He rescued two Mouse Demons and drank a cup of tea.
He made a promise to meet again after achieving scholarly fame. Before parting, he suddenly raised his hand and gently stroked the fluffy head of Little Mouse Ashi.
With that touch, the gray-golden little mouse leapt backward swiftly, retreating several dozen feet.
It jumped out of the stone chamber's door, hiding its agile body by the cave wall, and cautiously peeked its head out to watch Chen Xu.
Chen Xu laughed heartily, and Master Jiu also chuckled, saying, "I will escort you away, my friend. If you wish to return in the future, just knock two long and one short strikes at the corner of the stove three times."
Chen Xu's senses expanded, and suddenly, it felt like countless strange lights were condensing into tangible lines before him.
The lines were multicolored and bizarre.
