Little did Tan You and the little mouse know that someone was watching them from the distant heavens. One of them was busy building a cave residence, while the other was vainly admiring its own reflection. Each had her own joys and amusements. All in all, it was a peaceful time.
Tan You and the little mouse thus became companions. Ever since the golden line appeared on its brow, the little creature's treasure-hunting ability seemed to have grown much stronger. The only problem was its packrat nature—it wanted to hoard every good thing it saw.
Tan You often had to clean up its messes. It was only because her cultivation level had risen and her physical body was so tough that she hadn't drawn the ire of the masses. After making another clean getaway from the Three-Legged Golden Toad's territory, Tan You dangled the little mouse by its tail. "You'd better not go to the Golden Toad's place again."
