Chapter 20 The Flying Turtle
"Senior Brother, that's not right of you. How can you discriminate against us turtles? Erdan, come and show him what you've got!" Lanyue gently patted the blue stone turtle's head.
Then, to the astonishment of the other two, the tortoise moved its limbs a few times and then slowly took flight.
Seeing the shocked expressions on the two people's faces, Lan Yue almost burst out laughing inside her.
Even the eldest brother probably didn't expect that the turtles on Lingyue Peak could fly!
To be honest, she didn't know about this at first. She just happened to encounter a spirit turtle on Lingyue Peak and started feeding it there.
As we fed them, we realized that there seemed to be several more turtles, as if they had all come with their families.
Since feeding one turtle is the same as feeding so many, she would go to the stream behind the nearby mountain peaks every day to spear fish and roast them for the spirit turtles.
Fortunately, she had developed the skill of spearing and grilling fish in her previous life, otherwise she would have starved to death in the Southern Spirit Sect.
It was only because more and more spirit turtles came to freeload that she discovered some of them actually flapped their short legs and flew over.
She was utterly shocked when she saw this scene.
The sight of these spirit turtles struggling in the air touched her heart, and she would feed them every now and then, to which they would cooperate very well.
As soon as one spirit turtle discovers her grilling fish here, a whole flock of them will fly over soon after.
I have to say, the fish raised on the neighboring mountain are quite delicious, and they smell even better when grilled. If I didn't not know the breed, I would have thought of buying some fish fry from outside to raise here.
After all, what if you run out of fish just from spearfishing? You still have to find ways to increase your income and reduce your expenses.
Unfortunately, she asked at every shop, but no one knew what that fish was called.
Lan Yue sighed with regret as she stroked Erdan's head: "I've raised a turtle for a thousand days, but I'll only need it for one. Erdan, from now on, your sister will be counting on you!"
The giant spirit turtle nuzzled against her and tried to speed up a little more.
"Charge for the dried fish!" she waved her arms in front of Lan Yue. "We must protect the dignity of grilled fish!"
The tortoise beneath it really did increase its speed, flapping its four legs with all its might; to the uninitiated, it would look like it was swimming in the ocean.
The other two people on the turtle's back were quite shocked.
So, they can also ride on spirit turtles and fly in the sky?
Yunxi was alright. She hadn't been at the Southern Spirit Sect for very long and didn't know much about it. She just thought it was a special breed.
However, Li Bai was in a daze because he searched through the entire encyclopedia of spirit beasts in his mind but could not find this kind of turtle.
While they were in a daze, Yin Xue, who was following behind, was fuming.
"Yin Xue, stop fooling around." Lan Yue turned her head and saw Yin Xue chasing after her, secretly aiming at the turtle's tail, planning to backstab it.
She pulled Yin Xuelou over and whispered furtively, "From now on, you're my sacred sword. How can I trample on you? Wouldn't it be better if we sat on the tortoise together and ate some melon?"
Yin Xue swayed slightly, successfully persuaded, and obediently snuggled into her arms again.
[Lan Yue: It's a new day again, how great! Time to eat some new gossip! Let's check out the Fifth Elder first; it seems there's been a new update on his gossip.]
Li Baihu behind him trembled. He wanted to stop him, but he didn't know where to begin. He could only sit there scratching his head in frustration.
[Lan Yue: Shocking! Why is the Fifth Elder, bearing scratches, squatting in front of his disciple's room late at night? Is it a sign of twisted humanity or moral decay?]
"Pfft!" On a mountain peak below, a disciple who happened to be sitting outside drinking tea couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth.
He quickly flew out and spread the word. Before long, those people gathered on the mountain near Lingyue Peak, secretly using their spiritual sense to investigate.
The sect leader and the other elders looked at each other in bewilderment as they approached the mountain closest to Lingyue Peak, the mountain where Lanyue often went to spearfish.
They examined the Fifth Elder's face and noticed that there did indeed appear to be scratches.
"Ahem, Xiao Lanyue's thoughts have grown even more distant; it seems her cultivation has improved." Yun Chong could only use this to hide the smile in his eyes.
The Fifth Elder wiped his face, looking weary and worn. He felt that coming here was a mistake!
Doesn't Xiao Lanyue know when to stop? Doesn't she know to find someone else to fleece? She's practically been fleeced herself bald!
The Fifth Elder looked grief-stricken and indignant. He felt that the spiritual artifact he had given away a few days ago had been given away for nothing!
When the others came to their senses, they were also incredulous.
"Fifth Brother, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" The peak master of Jade Snow Peak was stunned for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence.
"It's not what you think!" The Fifth Elder was practically going crazy.
However, he hesitated when it came to telling the truth.
In that case, wouldn't his reputation be completely ruined?
Beside Lingyue Peak, Li Bai, sitting atop the spirit tortoise, also looked dazed.
What? His master was sitting in front of his disciple's door late at night? What disciple? Doesn't the master only have two disciples? One is him, and the other is his junior brother.
Thinking of this, Li Bai's expression suddenly turned somewhat horrified.
If Lan Yue hadn't been right across from him, and he hadn't been afraid of alerting her, he probably would have already drawn his gilded longsword.
No wonder my junior brother has been acting strangely these past few days, and he even has scratches on his neck. How awful, how awful! How could Master do this!
He actually misjudged this master!
[Lan Yue: Let me see what happened. I'm so curious. I wonder if there's a video of this. If there is, hehehe...]
Li Bai, standing next to him, turned pale and almost fainted.
His heart was screaming, "Stop it, junior sister! How old are you? What are you thinking about all day?"
"Senior Brother, why are your eyes twitching like that? Could it be a seizure, or perhaps some kind of eye disease?"
Lan Yue was engrossed in the latest news from the system update when she noticed that her senior brother's eyes were twitching. So she stopped and offered him a word of comfort.
"Yes, yes, my eyes seem a little uncomfortable. Shall we go back first?" Li Bai no longer cared about his reputation; he just wanted to fool his junior sister first.
[Lan Yue: So even cultivators can be crazy! Poor Senior Brother! Let's pause for a second to mourn for him.]
Li Bai: "..."
It probably won't be long before news of his erratic behavior spreads throughout the entire sect. It's alright, he can still handle this hardship, as long as Junior Sister stops paying attention to that video!
The air fell silent for a moment.
Just when he thought the video incident was about to be over and they would soon return, uncontrollable laughter suddenly broke out again.
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! The title was so strange, I thought it was some explosive news, but it turns out the Fifth Elder has a habit of needing to hold a spirit cat to fall asleep!]
[Lan Yue: This is hilarious! This usually serious Fifth Elder secretly glues on his beard, and he even needs to hold a spirit cat to fall asleep! Does that mean he needs to hold a cat to meditate?!]
[Lan Yue: What did the cats do wrong? They're just too cute! That's why even a serious person like the Fifth Elder likes them, to the point that he has to hold them while sleeping! And he wants to cuddle and kiss them!]
"Pfft!" The Sixth Elder laughed without any restraint. He hadn't expected the Fifth Elder to have this side to him in private.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they are the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder. In fact, the two of them live on very different mountains and would never meet unless it was something of great importance.
It was only because Lan Yue recently appeared with a divine artifact that their group of people came together.
"Ahem, Fifth Elder, I remember you brought back a litter of spirit cats from a secret realm a while ago, didn't you say you were going to give them to your disciple to raise?" The Second Elder coughed.
"I remember you scolded your little apprentice back then, saying that his mind was on the spirit cat, which seriously delayed his cultivation, and you even punished him by putting him in solitary confinement."
The second elder looked over, a mocking smile in his eyes.
Fifth Elder: "..."
At the time, he genuinely felt that the litter of spirit cats was seriously affecting his junior disciples' cultivation, so he took them in and raised them himself.
Who knew that those little guys would take him as their master and insist on crawling over to sleep with him at night. If he didn't give up his bed, they would meow in their babyish voices.
They're so clingy! It's all those cats' fault!
