Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 312 - 312 40 Artifact Spirit_3

312: Chapter 40 Artifact Spirit_3 312: Chapter 40 Artifact Spirit_3 The old dog, sitting erect, was instantly stunned and stared at Su He in disbelief, trembling with fear and retreating backwards.

It could understand speech!

But having lost half of its existence, its growls had turned into meaningless barks—had the ability to speak been given to the butler and the maidservants?

Su He looked at the old dog and recounted what she had just witnessed to Su Huanian.

Su Huanian’s expression remained unchanged, but his tone grew a few degrees colder, “Elder Qiao, is there still a chance to save him?”

An elder of the Qingyuan Gate’s previous generation, a martial uncle who had watched her grow up.

“I don’t know, but I’ll try my best.” Judging from the black dog’s combat, Prince Duko was not so powerful as to be unbeatable.

Saving Elder Qiao shouldn’t be difficult, the real challenge was that Su He did not know their whereabouts!

By reverting this Strange Land back to its original form, directly refining it, and through the mark left by Prince Duko in the Strange Land, perhaps they could be located.

Elder Qiao had once protected him for several months; how could he ignore a favor of protection?

“Senior Sister, do you think that Prince Duko knows we entered the Long Moon Mansion?”

The Strange Land was his treasure; he must know something about this place.

Su Huanian shook his head slightly, “He certainly wasn’t aware of the events inside the house, I had set up a formation, but he may have known before, though he couldn’t fully understand.

After all, the mansion has not yet been completely assimilated.”

If it were truly assimilated, the Artifact Spirit would not possibly exist.

But the degree of assimilation was already high, leaving the Artifact Spirit powerless to resist in front of the butler.

Previously, he had expelled them, probably not wanting anyone to come in and strengthen the power of the Strange Land, or perhaps he sensed the Jade Pendant on Su He?

“How do we remove the Strange Land?” asked Su He.

After pondering for a moment, Su Huanian said, “The Gluttonous Eating Method, the Soul Offering, breaking the rules of the Strange Land or perhaps another Heavenly Tribulation.”

She looked at Su He; if a Heavenly Tribulation could be drawn here, the cave dwelling was just a location, just a Crossing Tribulation Ground, but the Strange Land was evidently not, shrouding it would surely erode it.

Su He broke into a cold sweat and said seriously, “Senior Sister, don’t treat the Heavenly Tribulation like a routine method for dealing with enemies, it can kill people!”

Those who play with fire will surely get burned!

Lightly gathering her hair, Su Huanian said, “I was only mentioning the possibilities that I could think of.”

Su He pondered; the Gluttonous Eating Method should not be used lightly—that thing is truly ingested.

Who knows what reaction the Strange Land would have inside the belly.

Moreover, the Gluttonous Eating Method does not distinguish between friend and foe.

A bite would tear away the Origin of both the old dog and the Strange Land, striking both enemy and ally alike.

From the current situation, it was very likely that the old dog would be the first to collapse.

The Soul Offering had proven effective in tests, but the butler and the maidservants were not souls, so its application was limited.

As they conversed inside, the sound of the watchmen’s wooden clappers grew louder outside; what came after maidservants was surely related to watchmen.

With the disappearance of maidservants, the watchmen’s routine became chaotic.

An eerily white paper umbrella suddenly appeared outside the courtyard, yet it did not enter, just reminding from beyond the wall, “My lord, you must eat the meal sent by your servants!”

The old dog swiftly dived under the table, its eyes filled with terror.

Su He turned and responded, “I’ve already eaten, not a bit wasted!”

The butler obviously paused, then spoke again in a voice devoid of any emotion, “My lord, you must eat the meal sent by your servants!”

The old dog under the table grew even more terrified and flung a dry, shriveled fruit at Su He.

To eat again?

The old dog was the cave dwelling’s Artifact Spirit, and having been deprived of the ability to speak, it could only use objects from the dwelling to communicate, such as the fruit, bamboo shoots…

Su He picked up the fruit with a bit of disgust and swallowed it.

A flicker of consciousness entered her mind—it was the cave dwelling’s Artifact Spirit touching the Strange Land, stealing the rules of the Strange Land.

First, you can only do things that match your status.

Second, the butler’s reasonable demands cannot be refused or delayed.

Third, you cannot let the Strange Land’s characters repeat the same task more than three times.

The rules were simple, just three of them, each more significant than the last.

In two months, only one Mortal Hunter had strayed into this place.

He was very obedient here and survived until three days ago when he overslept, and the butler called him three times to get up without success.

On the fourth time, the hunter was forcibly roused, in parts—first skin, then flesh, and finally bone.

Su He glanced at the rules and tossed them aside in her mind; such things could only intimidate low-level cultivators and mortals.

See if they dare to skin and debone her while lying here today!

As the butler outside didn’t hear Su He reply, he opened his mouth to speak again, but at this moment, Su He walked straight out of the house, “I really ate!

Don’t believe me?

Shall I vomit it out for you to see?”

Su He opened her mouth and unleashed a Soul Offering.

It was the same move the maidservant had used earlier, emerging and striking the butler with her most powerful strike before her death—she was undressed!

The maidservant’s strongest method was not fighting but in bed.

The hunter from three days ago was defeated by this move.

After being tormented all night, he really couldn’t get up, and the butler called him three times, forcing him to get up.

The moment the maidservant appeared, she hugged the butler and tore at his clothes.

The butler, however, ignored her, tearing away as he kept his eyes on Su He and was about to speak again, “My lord, the meal sent by your servants…”

“Stop right there!” Su He shouted angrily, interrupting the butler’s spell, and said furiously, “In broad daylight and a clear sky, as the mansion’s butler, you engage in such indecent acts with a maidservant!

From this moment forth, I strip you of your butler’s position!”

The butler was taken aback for a moment.
