Don't Mess with that Turtle-Chapter 44 - 043 Night Fishing_1
44: Chapter 043 Night Fishing_1
44 -043 Night Fishing_1
Su He quietly watched Lu Ming’s corpse from beneath the water, the dice yet to fall, this person was not dead yet, or perhaps there was a yellow sparrow lying in wait.
Otherwise, even Lu Ming’s clothes should have been rolled for by the dice.
A hand suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbing Lu Ming and running off into the distance.
Sure enough, there was a yellow sparrow behind all this.
Earth Escape!
They knew magic skills, having at least blasted open the Intention Orifice.
The speed was astonishing.
Su He couldn’t catch up, this person wanted to steal Lu Ming’s inheritance!
Su He roared, the camel hoof print on his forehead shattered, the camel hair on Turtle Mountain suddenly shot out, transforming midair into a gigantic cactus, turning into a green light that smashed onto Lu Ming’s body.
“Spare my life!” A scream was extinguished in that streak of green light.
Without a sound or an explosion, the entire Quiet Water Mountain silently crumbled and turned to sand, in the blink of an eye turning into a desert.
Lu Ming’s body landed on the ground, next to another female corpse.
Both bodies were dehydrated and dried up, in one breath.
Su He’s mouth hung open.
Shocked and flabbergasted.
Was this the power of a single strike from the Profound Moon Beast?
Was this the attack of that crazy camel?
Sturdy Master!
For the first time, Su He had an intuitive feeling about Tao Cultivation.
If a Profound Moon Beast was like this, what about Su Huanian, who was rumored to have already stepped into the Stepping Sky Realm?
Suddenly, he felt that the Immortal Sword on his back was unbearably heavy, if he drew three swords, wouldn’t he collapse the sky, perhaps?
A smear of green appeared at the heart of the two corpses, two plants sprouted, their stems stretched, intertwined, and blossomed into a Bilian Lotus.
A dice tumbled and landed on the lotus:
Three points.
The flower fell, and yielded a pair of Tai Chi Jade Pendants.
Su He, driven by curiosity, crawled over.
The Yin fish and Yang fish on the Jade Pendant could separate and come together, Su He lightly touched it, and a stream of information poured into his mind.
Love bond!
This Jade Pendant was called “Love bond,” the key to a cave dwelling.
The Jade Pendant was divided into Yin and Yang, with men and women holding one side each, when the pendants joined, their hearts would connect, and they could open the cave dwelling to receive its inheritance.
This must be the inheritance Lu Ming spoke of.
Su He tucked away the Jade Pendant.
He had no use for such a thing now, he certainly couldn’t find a female Turtle to bond for three lifetimes just to open a cave dwelling!
Su He shuddered and shook his head.
He might never transform into a human again, but he could not take a female Turtle as his partner.
By now, Su He had already come to accept that he was a Divine God Beast; the reality of being unable to transform back into a human was probably hard for him to face.
After securing the Jade Pendant, he turned and left.
There was nothing of value left on the two corpses; with the surrounding area turned to sand, even the clothing had crumbled away.
Sturdy Master’s move was overly domineering, with the potential of a prodigal son, his attack had yielded not even the slightest gain.
Especially the mountain spirit medicine on Quiet Water Mountain…
Thinking about this, Su He felt a heart-wrenching discomfort, he had settled one grudge only to create another, the person who had just snatched away Lu Ming’s body was probably Qiao Ling,
They were Taoist companions.
That woman might have escaped from prison, among those expelled from the sect for abolishing their Tao Cultivation, she was likely not included.
His grudge with Water Quiet Mister had grown deeper.
She was a woman with a problematic mind, petty and capable of holding grudges.
Such a petty woman was the hardest to provoke, she wouldn’t care about sect rules or even life and death, next time he met Sturdy Master, he would have to ask for more camel hair.
Su He returned to the river and hurried towards Su Huanian’s Nameless Mountain.
Having destroyed Quiet Water Mountain, he probably had to face punishment and would need the Fairy to cover for him.
The autumn was crisp and the moon shone brightly among the sparse stars.
After covering seventy to eighty li, he suddenly heard a sound:
Whoosh~smack!
Someone was casting a fishing rod.
It was Feng Yi Ju.
Su He’s turtle scales burst forth as he immediately connected with Su Huanian’s Immortal Sword.
Feng Yi Ju was deliberately waiting for him!
With Qingyuan Gate being so large, the Sect Leader had countless matters to attend to.
Why would he be here night fishing on Su He’s inevitable route for no reason?
Dressed in a straw raincoat and wearing a bamboo hat, Feng Yi Ju looked just like an old fisherman.
He saw Su He stop and gestured to him, “Did you kill the person?”
The flat tone rang in Su He’s mind like a muffled thunder.
Su He mentally connected with the Immortal Sword, frantically calling out in his heart: Fairy!
Su Fairy!
Say something!
You can communicate through the Immortal Sword, can’t you?
Speak up!
The three swords of Su Fairy were almost certain to cleave others, but Su He wasn’t sure if they would work on this Sect Leader.
“No need to be nervous,” Feng Yi Ju said with a smile.
“I’m here merely to apologize to you.”
Su He: ?
“The other day, I wanted to take the opportunity to impose constraints on you, and that was mean-spirited of me.”
Feng Yi Ju, casting his fishing rod with a clear conscience, said, “I’m not afraid of you holding grudges; even now, I’d like to impose constraints on you.
Who wouldn’t want to control a Divine God Turtle?”
These were not words one would expect in an apology.
Su He narrowed his eyes, not understanding what kind of medicine Feng Yi Ju was selling in his gourd.
“But, there are things that can be done and things that cannot be done.
As the Summer Hall Leader said, since you possess Spirit Wisdom, you should be treated as a normal Qingyuan Disciple, and being a Divine God Beast, you should naturally be held in higher esteem.”
His skepticism visible, he shook his head and laughed, “You don’t trust me, and I don’t trust you.
How could Qingyuan Gate, peaceful for thousands of years, suddenly produce a Divine God Turtle?
If the turtles in Tinghai Lake had Divine God Turtle Bloodline, signs of strength or weakness should have emerged over the thousands of years.”
Su He remained silent.
He didn’t know where his Divine God Turtle Bloodline came from.
As Feng Yi Ju said, if the turtles in Tinghai Lake had Divine God Turtle Bloodline, there should have been some sort of manifestation over the past thousands of years, right?
But how could he explain this?
Could he suggest Qingyuan Gate feed turtles with High Quality Flesh and Blood to see what happens?
Feng Yi Ju reeled in his line, baited the hook, and cast again, looking at Su He, “You are not from Qingyuan; you are an outsider.”
“But it doesn’t matter, the Summer Hall Leader said you were only three years old.
A three-year-old turtle species, whose origins can be traced back to just a year ago, and moreover, it was only after I arrived at Qingyuan that the Divine God Beast Road was initiated.
I will accept you as belonging to Qingyuan Gate.”
“Let’s make a pact!”
He extended a hand to Su He, “As long as you have not betrayed Qingyuan, I will not place constraints on you, and you will receive the treatment due to a Divine God Beast.
But you must also take on the responsibilities of a Divine God Beast: Suppressing Luck and guarding the gate.
It’s said that turtle Divine God Beasts can foresee danger; can you?”
Su He narrowed his eyes at him.
“It seems not, or you wouldn’t have bumped into me like this.”
“Let’s leave it at that, you do your thing, and I do mine.
Let’s try our best to live in harmony, how about that?”
Su He didn’t move, pondered for a long while, and nodded his head.
“Good!” Feng Yi Ju clapped his hands, “In that case, let’s put aside all differences from the past.
I’ve heard that you’ve received Elder Ge’s Cultivation Technique and are about to start cultivating.
Have you chosen a good sanctuary?”
Su He was silent for a moment.
He wanted to stay with Su Huanian, but that wasn’t very realistic.
Su Huanian was healing, and if he stayed submerged in the pool, he would subtly alter the pond’s environment.
Su He looked in the direction of Tinghai Lake.
“Tinghai Lake?” Feng Yi Ju pondered for a moment, “That’s feasible.
We will designate Tinghai Lake as your sanctuary.
Tomorrow, the sect will send Yellow Scarf Warriors to tailor-make the sanctuary for you.
You may go now!”
Su He turned and walked away.
This Sect Leader didn’t hide his malice, or perhaps it was a display of frankness and straightforwardness?
Had he reached an agreement with Feng Yi Ju?
Tinghai Lake had truly become his own domain.
But for some reason, Su He did not like this feeling of engaging in conversation, being schemed against or flattered.
It was as if these people completely regarded him as a human being.
Su He oddly disliked this feeling.
He instead missed the last two years of struggling to survive in Tinghai Lake, competing with the Big Salamander for food, dodging the Grey Falcon’s hunt, and swimming among the crocodile shoals.
