Don’t Mess with that Turtle

309: Chapter 39 Acting by the Rules_1 309: Chapter 39 Acting by the Rules_1 Oh!

The attribute of being undead has become something very common.

One could encounter it every few days; yet, I don’t have it, how infuriating.

“It is not a living creature, nor is it a magical treasure,” Su Huanian stated succinctly.

The moment the servant and butler died, their aura leaked, connecting with the heavens and the earth as if they were created by nature itself.

But, ironically, although the world around them remained silent, Su He could sense that the heavens and earth were welcoming him.

The butler and servant kept vocally welcoming the master and the lady, yet Su He could not sense any emotion from them.

“Shall we keep killing?” Green Snake asked quietly.

Su He and Su Huanian looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

This was something condensed from this territory, unless this place is leveled, these two would remain undead, and killing them would be futile.

It somewhat reminiscent of the Mountain Divine God and the Water Monarch.

Su He released control of the flying boat, and it was as if the region below had captured it, forcing control would only lead to the disintegration of the flying boat.

This flying boat was merely a means of transportation and did not possess powerful defenses.

It seems that in Qing Cang’s eyes, nobody would dare to attack a flying boat piloted by a Dragon Turtle.

As the flying boat landed, the excited servant led everyone on board into the bamboo forest, lightly tapping three times on a bamboo, revealing a cave dwelling which was actually a secret land.

A delicately carved archway bearing the large characters “Long Moon Mansion” engraved in small seal script.

A senior dog lay under the archway, looking at everyone with malicious eyes.

The butler stood to the side, slightly bowed, “Warmly welcoming the master and lady back.”

He looked up, his gaze falling on the Green Snake, “Ah!

Has the master taken a concubine?”

He seemed somewhat excited as if a long-cherished wish was fulfilled.

He paced back and forth, “Excellent, excellent.

If the Lady of the House finds out, she will be overjoyed.”

Green Snake was dumbfounded.

I’ve become a concubine?

The senior dog under the archway bared its teeth and began to roar at Su He.

“Quiet!

You mad dog, even daring to bite the master!” The butler kicked the dog, sending it rolling like a gourd.

The kick wasn’t strong, yet the dog ran away yelping as if severely wounded, tail between its legs.

The butler turned back, bowing to the group, “Master, let’s go back quickly, the Lady of the House must be anxiously waiting!”

At this moment, the butler acted as if he were a real person, not at all like the mechanical manner he had shown earlier.

Su He discreetly passed a Boundary-breaking Bead into Su Huanian’s hand.

The Boundary-breaking Bead is a priceless treasure; not just any space is a Dust Free Cover.

Moreover, this place should not be too dangerous.

Lu Ming and others of the Transcendence Realm managed to obtain their inheritance here, it wouldn’t make sense if Su He and Ji Feixue were in danger upon arrival.

The only thing to be wary of were the butler and servant.

Two months ago, when Su He flew over this area, there was no butler to stop him.

Su He took the lead, walking at the front.

His External Appearance transformed into a layer of light film covering the Turtle Shell.

Green Snake walked in the middle, and Su Huanian brought up the rear.

The Camel, tilting its head, started running with its hooves clip-clopping away, yet its body was moving backward.

Retreating and retreating, it eventually disappeared from sight.

Su He then realized why it was named Big Zhuang, way too timid.

Passing through the archway, the scenery in front of them changed instantly.

High mountains and flowing rivers, the Flying Spring Waterfall, and picturesque lakes.

The Spiritual Energy was rich, no less than that of Yunmeng Ze.

It was an excellent cave dwelling.

Su He’s eyes lit up, if this place is unclaimed, it belongs to the Su family!

“Eh?” Green Snake’s telepathic message came from behind, “Something is not right about this place!”

Su He maintained his composure as Su Huanian clenched the Immortal Sword tightly.

“Just now, that door was entwined with matrimonial ties; the door should only permit couples to enter, yet we entered without any restrictions.”

And without using a key!

Su He has the key to this cave dwelling, yet this time, he didn’t use the key.

If the key serves no purpose, naturally someone had opened the door for them.

Su He looked towards the butler and the bowing and scraping servant beside him.

Upon entering the archway, that feeling of the entire world welcoming him grew even stronger, as if Su He were the master of this cave dwelling.

But now, there was an uninvited guest within.

The “Affection-Pledging” Jade Pendant within the External Space twinkled and emitted heat.

When this jade pendant was obtained, the dice rolled a three for quality.

It clearly shouldn’t be treated as a mere ordinary inheritance token.

Through the token, I could sense a growing intimacy with the estate.

A clumsy giant panda ran into the bamboo forest.

From afar, it roared at Su He, trying to chase away the enemy that had invaded its territory.

The butler scurried over and kicked the panda on its back—not too hard, but the panda still screamed shrilly and scampered away as if fleeing.

Such a dog-eat-dog world.

“The master has been away for too long, none of the animals at home recognize the master anymore!” the butler said with a hint of resentment in his voice.

Is he following a script or what?

“The weather is beautiful today, the Lady of the House is sunbathing at West Mountain.

Master, let’s hurry, the Lady of the House has been waiting for you for quite a while,” the voice of the butler was tinged with urgency.

Su He fell silent for a moment.

She’s been waiting for so long, she can wait a little longer!

I’m not in a rush.

You just do whatever is said, too passive!

Su He looked up and in an instant, the sky was filled with dark clouds and heavy rain poured down.

The butler, who was hurrying on his way, paused.

But then he hurried even more, looking back at Su He: “Master, hurry up!

The rain is heavy today, you should rest inside.

Tomorrow when the sun is out, you still have to greet the Lady of the House.”

His words flowed naturally as if the sunny weather from before hadn’t been his doing at all.

NPC indeed!

As the butler spoke, he pulled out a paper umbrella from nowhere and opened it over his head, hurrying Su He into a courtyard.

Squeak…ah!

The door, rusted from disuse, protested as it was pushed open.

It’s surprising there’s a door big enough for Su He’s three-meter-tall figure to enter.

This is more a wall turned into a door!

Having ushered Su He into the courtyard, the butler stepped back and, holding the ghostly white paper umbrella, peered through the door and window at Su He, bowing slightly to remind him: “Master, after such a long journey, the servants will bring you food, remember to eat!”

He made sure everything was in order, bowed slightly, and stepped away.

The room fell silent for a moment.

“What was that?

What is he doing?” Su He asked after a while.

He could see that this butler, the young servants, even the old dog and the panda, none were real living creatures but operated according to some law.

But beyond that, he couldn’t understand the specifics.

His cultivation was too new, his experience too scant.

Su Huanian pondered for a moment: “It is said that there are special regions governed by unique laws.

It could be a mountain village or a school.

Unchangeable, and if one mistakenly enters, one must act according to its rules or else face fatal danger; there’s no difference between cultivators and ordinary people.”

Weird?

The only word that came to mind for Su He was “weird,” then he shook his head: “I don’t believe it!”

Special laws might exist, but if there’s no distinction between cultivators and ordinary people, what’s the point of cultivation?

Isn’t understanding the law meant to break the law?

While they were talking, there was a knock at the door.

A maid tiptoed in carrying a meal box.

Opening the meal box, she set down eight dishes one by one and curtsied, “Master, Mistress, your meal is ready.”

As she spoke, a bolt of lightning flashed outside, illuminating the whole world; the maid cast no shadow.

Half her face was damaged, and the table was covered with rotting flesh and maggots.

“Master, Mistress, please enjoy your meal!” the maid spoke with a twisted mouth.

Green Snake held her breath in concentration, Su Huanian slightly furrowed his brows, only to see Su He open his mouth wide, gulp, and swallow the maid whole.

Divine Skills, Soul Offering!

“What are you doing?” Green Snake gasped in shock.

As if it were the most natural response, Su He replied, “Didn’t the butler just say?

When food is brought by the servants, one must eat.”

Well, that’s not playing by the rules!
