Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 349 - 349 58 Calm Mind_4

349: Chapter 58 Calm Mind_4 349: Chapter 58 Calm Mind_4 No wonder Su Huanian was acting strange, it turns out a fairy had descended to the mortal world.

The snake body tightened its embrace, very reluctantly letting go, but did not completely leave.

Instead, it shifted its position, coiling around the fairy’s waist, enclosing her slender figure within its own.

Immediately, Su Huanian felt suffocated, taking a while before softly speaking, “I…

need to heal, and I can’t meditate like this.”

That excuse was all too proper.

Su He let her go.

Carrying her, they swam to the pavilion, where with a light touch of her hands on the turtle shell, Su Huanian turned it into a beam of white light that fell inside the pavilion.

Inside, there was an ice jade bed in the pavilion, cold to the bone, yet it did not freeze the water in the pool.

It was a piece of ice jade that Liu Ru had obtained for him from Qiu Hu on the day he became an apprentice, presented by Ji Feixue on behalf of Liu Ru.

Su He had gifted it to Ya Ya, and a mermaid craftsman had carved it into an ice bed, perfectly suitable for Su Huanian’s meditation.

Su He watched her, the pool water rippling, moving the fabric of her dress, perfectly outlining her figure.

Clad in white clothes, her graceful body was faintly visible under the water, an irresistible charm.

“You meditate, and I will protect you,” Su He murmured, feeling a bit parched even under the water.

Su Huanian’s face blushed slightly, “Okay!”

Trying to sit cross-legged, she couldn’t discard her stray thoughts; every time she closed her eyes, she felt as if a pair of turtle eyes were caressing her body, causing her heart to tremble.

Opening her eyes, she saw that both the turtle body and snake body of Su He were properly stationed nearby, with no impropriety.

Su Huanian tried to meditate with closed eyes again.

The sensation of being swept over rose once more, and she helplessly opened her eyes, looking at Su He, “Don’t look anymore.

My heart cannot be calm!”

Su He nodded, “I won’t look.

I’ll stay here with you.” Healing was the priority.

Su Huanian had suffered severe injuries for over half a year without full recovery, and now was not the time for distractions.

Su He withdrew his divine sense, truly not looking anymore.

Pressing down the complexity in her heart, Su Huanian took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

This time, she did not feel like she was being watched.

There was a smile in the corner of her mouth as she slowly exhaled and focused on healing.

But after a while, she opened her eyes again and looked towards Su He.

Su He sensed her gaze and turned around, blinking and saying, “I didn’t peek.”

“I know,” Su Huanian responded, but for some reason, even knowing that Su He wasn’t looking at her, she felt even less able to calm her heart.

Seeing Su Huanian’s hesitant expression, Su He suddenly laughed and with a flick of his claws, stirred the water, pulling Su Huanian out and holding her tightly in his embrace, with the dragon head surrounding her.

Su Huanian’s heart stalled, beating violently as it felt the powerful encirclement of the Dragon Turtle, but gradually she relaxed.

Before she knew it, she truly calmed down.

There was no sensation of being watched, no tumultuous unrest, and closing her eyes, she could feel the individual scales of the Dragon Turtle pressing onto her, slightly painful but giving her a sense of unprecedented security.

She had never experienced this feeling before.

There was no need to worry about Ya Ya’s illness, no need to fret over her own safety, no need to desperately seek to enhance her Tao cultivation, fearing that it might not be sufficient to nurture Ya Ya’s origin if needed.

Although Ya Ya was far away, sleeping alone on the other side of the garden, Su Huanian inexplicably felt at peace.

It was as if she was no longer afraid of the sky falling down.

This feeling was not unfamiliar; since the last time Ya Ya transformed into a beast and encountered the Soaring Snake, amidst imminent danger.

Before Su He arrived, the Toad came first, and she inexplicably felt at peace.

Although death loomed, with only the Sword Array to fend off the Soaring Snake, and not even knowing if she would be alive the next moment, she knew someone would come to rescue her!

Sure enough, Su He did not disappoint her, with a Flying Boat shattering the clouds, and a shout of Divine God Might shielding her behind him.

To save Ya Ya, to slay the Soaring Snake.

Then, when Ya Ya’s origin was stolen by Feng Yi Ju, Su He broke through the Dust Free Cover, and just in the nick of time, leapt forth to vanquish Feng Yi Ju and stabilize Ya Ya.

His dominance made Ya Ya happily call him “Dad.” Ya Ya, who refused to call Feng Yi Ju father, willingly and joyously called Su He instead.

That call of “Dad” resonated not just in Su He’s heart, but in hers too.

Especially when Ya Ya, smiling, told her, “Ya Ya is going to die!

Ya Ya got herself a new dad, you can’t hit me now…”

Su Huanian realized she probably couldn’t escape anymore!

She chuckled softly.

So it wasn’t your gaze upon my body that disturbed my peace of mind, it was the absence of your embrace…

Some things, once obtained, are feared even more in their loss!

Two lines of clear tears slid down the corners of her eyes, blending into the water, unseen and unfelt.

Su He nudged gently, wrapping the fairy in his arms even tighter.

Trembling, Su Huanian’s hands softly embraced his neck.

Breathing softly, the pool water entered her nostrils, flowing into her heart and lungs, coolness piercing through.

Her mind calmed, she circulated her energy.

It turns out healing did not necessarily require meditation; as long as the mind was tranquil, the posture did not matter…
