Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 301 - 301 35 True·Little Turtle_1

301: Chapter 35 True·Little Turtle_1 301: Chapter 35 True·Little Turtle_1 The air became slightly congealed for a moment.

Elder Feng Si had only caught a glimpse of White Spirit and her Soul Beast occasionally, but her Boundary Status was such that a single glance was enough to be etched into memory forever, leaving no detail, not even a snippet of electric spark, misremembered.

Elder Feng Si turned to look at Green Thunder, who was breathing heavily until Ya Ya completely merged with the Turtle Egg, after which he slowly returned to his senses.

The bond between a Soul Beast and its master was ironclad.

Although a Soul Beast could be reborn in the Sea of Consciousness of its master after being killed, despite the process being difficult and time-consuming, it was indeed possible.

But conversely, if the master died, there was no chance for the Soul Beast to live on its own.

If the master were to die, the Soul Beast would perish in an instant.

Therefore, the Toad’s concern for Su He far exceeded that of Su He for herself.

This little girl appeared to be only a few dozen years old at most, and even her mother was just over three hundred years old, which meant that the reincarnation of the White Spirit Soul Beast must have occurred within this past century!

White Spirit didn’t die a hundred years ago—unless she had a way to die but still leave the Soul Beast behind until its reincarnation!

Lei considered asking Su Huanian but then thought better of it.

He should probably be considered her prospective great-uncle?

Asking about someone’s pregnancy and childbirth seemed somewhat impolite.

He glanced at Su He, feeling full disgust.

This blockhead didn’t even know how to court a woman; there were some questions one could only ask as a husband!

Lei licked his lips, struggling to suppress his curiosity.

However, Su He finally took a deep breath, slowly coming back to himself.

Looking up at Su Huanian, he saw that her face was deathly pale, not from the shock of the news, but because she had been seriously injured and lost too much blood.

Gently shaking her head, Su Huanian whispered, “Who she was in her past life doesn’t concern me; in this life, she is my daughter.”

She was content to leave matters of her past life to the past.

Perhaps due to possessing memories of her past life, Su Huanian was quite open-minded about this situation.

Su He nodded in agreement.

He blinked into existence behind Su Huanian, allowing her to lean against his Turtle Shell.

He then looked up pitifully at Lei.

Dear uncle, can you bear to watch and not lend a hand in healing her?

Su Huanian smiled wryly and whispered to Su He, “Stop causing trouble!

The two elders have already treated my injuries.

I’ve been forcing myself to stay up, wanting to wait for Ya Ya to wake up.”

Ya Ya woke up a mere hour ago, having initially merged with her Origin, but Su He was still undergoing his trial, making it impossible for her to rest.

“Lie down for a bit?” Su He suggested softly.

The Turtle Mountain materialized behind her, not as hard as real mountains and rivers, but rather somewhat soft.

Controlling the External Appearance of the solidity was not difficult.

Su Huanian gently shook her head.

Everyone present had come to assist Ya Ya.

How could she fail to know how to be a proper host?

As she forced herself to speak, a breeze swept by, and involuntarily, her eyes closed.

A feather from an Ice Phoenix came floating down, soft as a bed, gently lifting Su Huanian and settling her at the stern of the ship where a cave dwelling had been erected, unknown when.

The Phoenix Feather carried Su Huanian into the cave dwelling.

Only then did Elder Feng Si’s voice come through, gentle and kind, “Foolish child, not all things require a mother to endure stubbornly.

Otherwise, what use is a father?”

Her gaze shifted to Su He, sharpness flashing in her eyes.

Su He instinctively stepped back two paces, crouched beside the pristine white Dragon Turtle Egg, and only then did Elder Feng Si’s gaze soften.

Never leaving his daughter’s side, that was what a father should do.

In the eyes of Divine God Beasts, the world, power, cultivation… all things under the heavens are trivial compared to one’s own offspring.

Therefore, the actions of Feng Yi Ju were unforgivable in their eyes and deserved endless punishment!

With Su Huanian forcibly put to rest, Elder Feng Si turned a more urgent gaze upon Su He, and even Green Thunder looked at him strangely.

After some thought, Su He lowered his Dragon Head slightly, transforming into his Peacock True Body.

It seemed that the two elders were eager to discuss the matter of his second body.

Indeed, Elder Feng Si gazed eagerly at the young bird, wishing she could wrap her talons around it and cuddle it thoroughly.

Su He lowered his bird’s head slightly, addressing Elder Feng Si, “Elder, my second body was formed out of sheer necessity.

I have not yet entered the inheritance site.

If the Phoenix Clan…

if the Phoenix Clan minds…

”

Before Su He could finish, Elder Feng Si interrupted him, “Tut!

What are you talking about?

Call me granny!

Being able to form a second body is your own capability.

The Phoenix Clan would wish that the whole world could form Phoenix bodies, but sadly, from ancient times till now, you are the only one.”

She looked at the plump little fledgling with a dawning affection, “Child, tell granny how you formed this Peacock True Body?”

Su He turned to look at Green Thunder.

Green Thunder nodded, “Go ahead, tell her.

This one should be your…

your true grandmother in every sense of the term!”

To Divine God Beasts, bloodline is quintessential—whether one is born from another or not is less significant.

For example, to Lei, Ya Ya is Su He’s own daughter, and not even Tianwang Laozi could change that.

She is a little Turtle and deserves the protection of the Dragon Turtle Tribe.

Let anyone dare touch her and see!

After a moment of reflection, Su He began with how he had acquired the Peacock Blood Essence from the Prison Ghost Space, then recounted the memory loss during the transformation at the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice, to the battle with the Soaring Snake where he was trapped, all the way to the forming of his second body and emerging from the shell.

Elder Feng Si nodded, “I have a rough idea about that Peacock Essence Blood, lost for tens of thousands of years, and yet someone managed to refine it!

It’s also fitting that it would remain as a bloodline inheritance for my daughter.”

The more she looked at Su He, the more satisfied she became.

Without a doubt, this was a Peacock, yet upon appearing, its aura and presence were not inferior to that of an ordinary Phoenix, and may even surpass it.

She initially thought the exceptional talent lay with the little Dragon Turtle, but now it seemed that her daughter’s Essence Blood was also exceedingly important.

A fourfold increase, surpassing ordinary members of the Phoenix Clan, wouldn’t that be as it should be?

Looking at Su He, her satisfaction grew.

If only the Peacock were not just a second body but the sole true body, that would be even more marvelous.

“No wonder you were able to undertake the tribulation!” Elder Feng Si chuckled, “You passed the identity confusion as a Wild Goose, and in the eyes of heaven and earth, you are clearly a Wild Goose seeking Proof of the Tao as a Peacock, achieving immortality.

Facing the Heavenly Catastrophe is only to be expected.”
