Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 687 - 687 175 Cage_2

687: Chapter 175: Cage_2 687: Chapter 175: Cage_2 Two perspectives appeared simultaneously.

With 360 degrees and no blind spots, Su He smiled faintly.

Indeed, this angle suited him better.

The Little Tai Trigram condensed, accelerating the fusion of the two bodies, and the Spirit Snake was in place.

Su He’s snake body swayed, its tail lashing out at the starry sky.

Without a sound, an asteroid with a diameter over ten miles exploded with a bang.

Dazzling fireworks illuminated the pitch-black cosmos.

Baiyin’s brow quirked, “Yo!

Quite the violent snake!”

She flicked her little finger, pulling Su He’s snake body to her side, then poking it multiple times.

The touch was top-notch.

The skin of Su He’s Spirit Snake was free of the typical fishy snake odor, feeling pleasantly cool and soft to the touch, which was quite stress-relieving.

Su He corkscrewed himself around her, resting his snake head on her shoulder, hissing as he flicked his tongue.

White Spirit ran a finger along the snake body, and it turned docile instantly.

She looked at Su He with a half-smile, “Taking such blatant advantage of an Immortal Sovereign, you must be the first in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms to do so historically!”

Su He’s Spirit Snake trembled involuntarily, eyes rolling back, “There’s not much chance left, you’re going to sell me!

If I don’t take the opportunity to collect some interest now, I won’t get any later!”

Baiyin: “???”

Even more overtly righteous?

She sneered softly, flipping her finger to reveal the underbelly of Su He’s Spirit Snake, the sword light on her nails pulsating as she pressed at the location of Su He’s Snake Gallbladder.

Su He shuddered, sobering up instantly, “No!

Anything but that!”

This woman wasn’t faking!

She really intended to strip out his snake gallbladder!

“Shush!” Baiyin made a silencing gesture, “Be good, don’t move!

I’ll just take out one snake gallbladder!”

Su He felt like he was covered in sweat.

Did he really have extra gallbladders to spare?

Baiyin’s voice carried a hint of wistfulness, “You’re too special, your fate is unpredictable, I can’t calculate it.

By keeping one snake gallbladder close, if need be, I can use it to guess your fate and make some arrangements.”

Actually, Turtle Shell would work even better, but stripping the Dragon Turtle’s Shell would be too damaging!

What she needed wasn’t just a piece or two of Turtle Shell, but the complete Turtle Shell.

Even if Su He had reached the Opening Two-fold Heaven, he’d almost lose half his life.

The Snake Gallbladder would have to make do.

She wasn’t joking.

With a stab, a lift, then a strip and squeeze, a beautiful green Snake Gallbladder appeared in her hand.

In an instant, Su He’s entire snake body went limp, sliding off her, utterly spent and weak.

Thereafter, Baiyin produced a Snow Lotus, gently slapped it to release the lotus juice, and dabbed it on Su He’s wound.

Plant stems fell into the wound like seeds taking root, rapidly growing and blossoming while bearing fruit.

But what emerged was a fresh Snake Gallbladder.

From small to big, when the Snake Gallbladder matured, the Snow Lotus completely withered away, leaving behind the gallbladder nesting inside the wound, filling Su He’s loss.

The wound healed in an instant.

The lost power returned.

“This Snow Lotus still doesn’t have a name; it’s something I managed to cultivate over the past three thousand years—using your body!

Its uses are endless!” Baiyin boasted proudly.

Su He: “…I’ve eaten it!

Both the Dragon Turtle True Form and the Peacock True Body have consumed several petals.”

“I know!” Baiyin giggled, “I’m just telling you, this lotus isn’t meant to be eaten.

You should tear open the skin and squeeze out the juice.

Its effect is five or six times stronger than swallowing it, and painless too.

It’s cultivated in the Sun True Fire.

How does the burning sensation feel when swallowed?”

Su He didn’t want to talk about it!

It wasn’t all that fun having a powerful figure at home, the sense of achievement was terribly low!

He’d managed to raid Emperor Luan’s Secret Chamber once and got the most precious item, which turned out to be collected and brewed by his own clan sister’s pet.

After facing life-threatening situations in instances to obtain the Snow Lotus and endure the agony that scourged his very insides, they proved to be her past life’s cultivations.

Baiyin laughed heartily, delighted to see Su He’s humbled expression.

The explosion of the tiny asteroid in the starry sky only accentuated her laughter, a strangely beautiful scene.

Seeing the look in Su He’s eyes, Baiyin extended her slender jade finger, lightly touching the exploding asteroid, causing it to scatter, no longer harsh to the eyes, transforming into brilliant fireworks, whirling in the void.

Oddly beautiful.

No wonder there were rumors that some cultivator couples enjoyed blowing up stars for fun.

Just a small asteroid could look this magnificent—what about an actual star…

Su He shook his head; with his current abilities, if a star exploded at such a close distance, he would probably die.

To entertain such a deadly thought, he’d need to achieve at least Opening Heaven Three-fold, or even four-fold!

Smiling, Su He watched Baiyin sit on a rock, propping her hands on it, gazing at the fireworks, her feet tapping idly, a rare moment of serenity.

The Spirit Snake coiled nearby, with the Toad curiously poking at the spot where the Snake Gallbladder was.

Su He felt an unbearable itch on his back and twitched his body, causing a Turtle Shell to burst through his clothes.

In a panic, Su He grabbed a Scholar’s robe to cover his body and turned his pleading eyes to Baiyin.

Baiyin blinked, not immediately helping him but instead gazing at his back as if she wanted to study how a shell could grow there independently.

Isn’t the Turtle Shell supposed to be integrated with the torso?

What was this?

A human spinal column and ribs, yet with a Turtle Shell?

A double-faced character?

“Stop it!

My clothes, please!” Su He begged.

Baiyin giggled and snapped her fingers.

Suddenly, Su He found himself clothed, not in Scholar’s robes, but in a suit of… Prime Minister’s attire!

Su He wasn’t sure how to face Baiyin, casting her a glum glance.

Baiyin chuckled, “No need to thank me!”

After saying so, she puffed up her chest, “Want a hug?

Looking at your state, you’ll revert to your Dragon Turtle Form soon enough, and once you do, you’ll have to cultivate a human form again.”

Su He: “…”

…

In the present world, the Mystery Yellow Cave Heaven.

A Roaring Azure Dragon’s cry echoed, its dragon might rippling, causing clouds in all directions to explode thunderously.

A vacuum formed, and for once, the Baiyun Palace was clear, offering an unobstructed view from top to bottom.
