Chapter 319 The Rat's Wedding
The two spotted leopards also wanted to retreat.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Huanhuan and Yueyue immediately clung to her.
They were eager to gain experience, but when the enemy arrived, Lele actually made the difference and was thoroughly defeated by Xinxin.
We absolutely mustn't let these two spotted leopards get away.
Zhong Chun smiled and stepped aside.
The two spotted leopards, filled with panic, hated the four-eared cheetah.
They had always treated the four-eared cheetah as a reserve food.
But at this crucial moment, they were tricked by the four-eared cheetah.
Soon, the two spotted leopards died from a flurry of punches and were dragged into the Nine-Story Pagoda by Huanhuan and Yueyue.
Zhong Lingxin, preoccupied with what the spotted leopard and the four-eared hound were fighting over, hurriedly led her friends down the cliff.
As soon as they got close, Huanhuan let out a loud shout in anger.
All that could be seen were colorful rats scurrying about on the ground, each one exuding an aura of magic.
So while they were battling the spotted leopard and the four-eared hound in front, the spotted rats were sneaking a free meal from behind.
With a flick of her little paw, Huanhuan killed several spotted mice, and the remaining spotted mice all squeaked and ran away.
Zhong Lingxin didn't bother chasing after the Five-Colored Rat; she simply led her friends toward a place rich in immortal energy.
From the depths of the mountain stream, a faint white mist drifted out. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be dense immortal energy that had formed a silky mist.
As Zhong Lingxin walked forward, she saw that the five-colored rats had brought out the immortal spring water from the mountain stream, forming small wisps of immortal mist on the ground.
Huanhuan and Yueyue rushed forward at the same time, jostling and pushing each other.
Deep in the mountain stream, the sound of flowing water could be heard.
Right there in the flowing water, a clear, bright spring, easily visible at a glance, was gushing out.
Zhong Lingxin flicked her wrist and unleashed a defensive array that covered the entire mountain stream.
Then, she and her friends carefully investigated further.
After descending about a hundred feet, the group cheered in unison.
The source has been found.
Zhong Chun smiled and said, "Xin Xin, accept it."
Zhong Lingxin obeyed and silently said, "Stop!"
The children cheered and flew back to the Nine-Story Pagoda with the help of the fairy spring.
Amidst the deafening roar, Zhong Lingxin rode on a cloud and swiftly fled into the distance.
After crossing two mountains, Zhong Lingxin saw that the mountain below her feet was not shaking, and then she landed in a valley.
As soon as she landed, she felt the surging of celestial energy beneath her feet.
Huanhuan left the Nine-Story Pagoda and said angrily, "It's the Five-Colored Rat. We've reached its lair."
Yueyue also appeared, saying resentfully, "You came just in time. Although the Immortal Spring is fine, the thought of them drinking from it makes me feel uncomfortable all over."
Pingping and An'an nodded vigorously, though they themselves felt uncomfortable.
It was already dark, and the moon was slowly rising.
Zhong Lingxin decided to set up camp first and then cause trouble for the Five-Colored Rat tomorrow.
She placed a treehouse on a tree branch, set up a defensive array, arranged for her companions to take turns on duty, and then prepared to meditate peacefully.
In the middle of the night, Xiaoxiao, who was on duty, woke Zhong Lingxin up: "Xinxin, come and see, it's so lively!"
Zhong Lingxin woke up from her meditation and, following the direction Xiaoxiao was pointing, saw that the ground was full of busy five-colored rats.
Moreover, all of these spotted rats were meticulously dressed up.
With its round ears, long whiskers, round nose, and darting little eyes, it's easy to tell that they're rats in human form.
Although their transformations weren't very good, they were all cheerful, dressed in silk and adorned with flowers. When they met, they smiled and greeted each other.
Not far away, the faint sound of gongs and drums could be heard.
The sound of the gongs and drums was soft and cheerful, but there was always a sense of sneakiness about it.
A few words flashed before Zhong Lingxin's eyes: "The Rat's Wedding".
Upon closer inspection, she realized it was indeed a scene of mice getting married.
A large, fat spotted rat, perhaps due to drinking alcohol, had a rather haphazard transformation.
It was dressed in a bright red silk robe, draped with a large red flower, and wearing a large red crown. Its two big front teeth were showing in a wide grin. With its round belly sticking out and its short legs swaying, it was supported by two little mice beside it as it wobbled towards a group of little spotted mice in front of it. It was also dressed in red, and was a slender female spotted mouse.
However, this slender female spotted mouse was clearly in a bad mood, walking slowly and gradually, becoming even slower as she got closer to the robust spotted mouse.
The burly spotted rat, its drunken eyes narrowed, saw a splash of red ahead and began to stagger its drunken steps much faster, squeaking incessantly as it went.
It shows its eagerness.
Upon hearing the squeaking sound, the slender female spotted mouse became even more unwilling to move forward.
It even considered turning around and running away.
But a group of spotted rats following behind it held it down tightly and pushed it forward.
Zhong Lingxin could hear the desperate gurgling sound coming from the throat of the slender female spotted rat.
Just then, a commotion arose not far away, and a wounded spotted rat rushed over and stood beside the slender female spotted rat.
The slender female spotted mouse was terrified and desperately pushed away the injured spotted mouse.
The meaning was obvious; it was urging it to run away quickly.
The plump, sturdy spotted rat had its whiskers standing on end, and its protruding belly was heaving in and out, clearly indicating that it was extremely angry.
It squeaked angrily twice, no longer needing the other mice to help it up. Its body stopped swaying, and its two big front teeth bared even higher as it screamed and charged at the wounded spotted rat.
The slender female spotted mouse let out a desperate squeak and pushed the wounded spotted mouse away with even more force.
Zhong Lingxin examined the wounded spotted rat closely. It was no smaller than the burly spotted rat, and its strong hind legs looked even more powerful.
Zhong Chun sighed beside Zhong Lingxin: "What a pity. That strong rat might be the Rat King, and a real Rat King at that. That injured spotted rat, in another ten or twenty years, might be able to dethrone this Rat King. What a pity, it was too young and couldn't keep its composure."
Huanhuan and her friends were bored in the Nine-Story Pagoda, so Zhong Lingxin bought them a lot of storybooks.
At this moment, the friends had long forgotten their anger at the five-colored mouse for stealing the fairy spring water. They all sympathized with the injured five-colored mouse, saying that mice in love should eventually become a couple.
It was all because of this burly, fat rat king who stole their love and tore apart a pair of loving rats.
Zhong Chun sighed, "See? That fat rat king did it on purpose. It doesn't love that female rat. Maybe it just wants to kill the injured spotted rat by stealing her away."
Huanhuan and her friends were even more upset.
That fat rat king is so hateful.
Zhong Lingxin smiled and decided not to get involved.
The injured spotted rat wasn't as powerful as the fat rat king, so it deserved to die.
The more the friends watched the fat rat king tearing apart the injured spotted rat, and the more they watched the slender spotted rat rescuing the injured spotted rat, the more distressed they felt.
One by one, they all came to beg Zhong Lingxin: "Xinxin, lovers will eventually be together, let's help them."
