Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 348 - 348 58 Calm Mind_3

348: Chapter 58 Calm Mind_3 348: Chapter 58 Calm Mind_3 Though he had not delved deeply into cultivation, Qing was indeed a suitable teacher for Su He in the way of the stars!

This world is special.

In the Three Thousand Great Worlds, which share the same sun and moon, the main stars of many smaller worlds are intricately connected with these celestial bodies.

The Four Directions Starlords are the same in this regard.

Listening to Su Huanian’s explanation of the way of the stars, Su He’s consciousness slowly dispersed into the starry sky, resonating distantly with the Xuanwu Seven Constellations.

The Dragon Turtle was steady, the Spirit Snake sharp.

One still, the other moving; one sinking, the other rising.

As Su Huanian led Su He, the Tao Scripture seemed to murmur beside his ear—inaudible yet the Tao Rhythm within it perfectly revealed, his entire Primordial Spirit soaking in the Tao Scripture’s Rhyme.

The Tao Te Ching could not enhance Tao Cultivation, as it was not the path of cultivation—at least not in Su He’s current understanding—it could not be directly used to improve one’s cultivation level.

However, this kind of Tao Rhythm was indeed the crudest and purest in the world.

Comprehending the Tao silently enhanced one’s understanding.

Unseen and unheard, yet undeniably present.

Dawn broke in the east, and a loud rooster crow rang out.

The power of the stars slowly faded, much weaker than before.

“Let’s go back,” Su Huanian said softly.

Su He felt a sensation of weightlessness as his consciousness returned to his body, just as the Tao Te Ching recitation naturally concluded.

He opened his eyes to see Su Huanian’s eyelashes trembling slightly as she too awoke.

The Tao Rhythm flowed in her starry eyes; the night’s gains were extraordinary.

Su He tilted his head: “Does this count as dual cultivation?”

Su Huanian’s face turned slightly red, but she eventually replied, “It counts!”

The fusion of consciousness with simultaneous cultivation gains was, in essence, Dual Cultivation.

But it was not the kind of Dual Cultivation Su He had in mind.

Su He smiled.

Su Huanian bent down to pick up Ya Ya, and together with Su He, they started walking down the mountain.

Halfway through, the Spirit Snake suddenly sprang out, coiling around Su Huanian, and with a tug, carried her and Ya Ya back onto the Turtle Shell in one swift motion.

As Su Huanian’s heart settled from the shock, she sat on the Turtle Shell holding Ya Ya, her face still slightly flushed.

The Spirit Snake arched to form a backrest behind her.

A warm touch from the Snake Body transfused into Su He’s Heart.

Actually, if he wanted to do something naughty using the Snake Body, it wouldn’t be impossible.

But that would just be too sleazy…

Unacceptable!

Cultivate Xuan Wu!

Su He looked up, sensing the fading star power of the Xuanwu Star Lodge.

After returning Ya Ya to her room, Su He carried Su Hua down to the pond in the courtyard garden—the Mermaid had been very considerate.

It was impossible for Su He to have a wooden house for residence, so he lived under the pond in the garden, neither large nor small, with a diameter of over thirty yards.

Underwater, they had even built a pavilion with a jade bed for Su Hua to rest or sit on.

It seems the Mermaid had been quietly scheming something all along.

Su Hua was of pure Water attribute, leaning more towards Ice.

When Su He first saw her, she was healing underwater.

This pond was connected by rivers to the lakes outside, making the water especially clear and cool, rich in Water Yuan.

It was even more suitable for her recovery.

But before Su He returned, she had been healing alone underwater.

Now, she was brought here by Su He himself.

Su Hua lowered her head, her body trembling slightly.

This Turtle has a wicked heart!

The second time they met, it happened beside a mountain pond, where she was only clad in underclothes while healing in the water.

This Turtle actually saw it, didn’t he?

From childhood to growth, it was her first time!

And she didn’t kill him with a palm strike.

Perhaps many things are predestined in the unknown?

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Su Hua’s mouth, the trembling stopped, and she let Su He carry her into the water without resistance.

With the abundant Water Yuan here, even without the aid of Pill Medicines, she could fully recover after three or four years of healing.

With Pill Medicines, especially with the Heavenly Material Earthly Treasure given by Lei, she could recover in just three or four months.

She could then resume her path of cultivation.

She wouldn’t fall too far behind Dragon Turtle.

For those on the path of cultivation who wish to become husband and wife, they first must be Tao companions.

Otherwise, with just a lifespan of two to three ten thousand years in the Stepping Sky Two-fold, she would age while Dragon Turtle merely naps, not to mention waiting for Su He to reach the zenith of cultivation and transform into a human.

The water in the pond rippled slightly, clinging to clothes that outlined the graceful figure of Su Hua.

Just as Su He was about to turn around, he was stopped by Su Hua’s Immortal Sword.

Su He: “…”

“I just wanted to ask you if Elder Qiao has contacted you since he returned…

Hey!

Even if I really did turn around to look now, it would be justified, right?!”

With her head lowered, Su Hua said, “Before you develop a human form, you are not allowed to cross the line.”

At first disappointed, Su He’s eyes then brightened.

Did that mean that once he had a human form, he could break the rules?

Su Hua trembled slightly, her earlobes reddening inadvertently as she glanced aside.

Yet she found the Spirit Snake that was serving as her backrest hissing, staring straight at her.

Its gaze moved from top to bottom, pausing at a certain spot above her waist.

As Su He’s gaze swept over, the Fairy seemed fluttered by some caress.

Su Hua’s entire body froze at once, forgetting that Dragon Turtle was no longer purely a Dragon Turtle, but also had a Spirit Snake Body.

The Immortal Sword suddenly unsheathed, but the Spirit Snake quickly coiled up, hastily pushing her Immortal Sword back into its sheath.

“Stop it!” the Spirit Snake spoke.

“Since when does a husband deserve to be slain for glimpsing his own wife?

There’s no such reason in heaven or on earth!”

Su Hua was speechless as Su He coiled tightly around her, afraid she would break free and truly strike him.

A woman with a scatterbrained mind, unreasonable.

Who knows what she might do.

Su Hua’s face turned even redder: “Let go of me.”

It wasn’t a command from the Cold Fairy, but her voice was clear with a tremble within.

Su He warned her, “If I let go, you must not chop me!

To murder your own husband would be too much.”

Barely squeezing out the words, Su Hua responded: “Fine.”

The Fairy seemed a bit off today.

Su He’s serpentine head lowered slightly, and he saw the Spirit Snake Body as thick as a calf, coiling from her waist, pressing down the distant mountains to form high plateaus, the warm touch coming through.

Su He’s breath tightened.
