403 My Technique Is Very Good…Part 2 (1/2)

”So, I’m considered as your savior. As the saying goes, one shall repay kindness with greater kindness. As saving you is a great kindness, how would you repay me?” The childe was staring at her with his eyes lit up.

Gu Xijiu, ”…” Though this man was rather unkind asking for repayment, but he indeed unintendedly saved her this time, and she was now indebted to him…

”I’ll save you once in the future to repay your kindness.” Gu Xijiu promised.

”10 times!” The young childe insisted.

Ah?

Gu Xijiu was confused.

”As I have said, one shall repay kindness with greater kindness. I have saved you once and you should save me 10 times to truly repay me. And yes, you also made me lose my tortoise and you have to pay me back too.” The young childe was calculating.

Gu Xijiu repeated, ”Your tortoise?” What did it mean?

”I was fishing for a golden tortoise just now and when I just managed to pull out its shell, you stepped on its back, and you broke my fishhook too.” The young childe showed her a fishing rod.

It was then that Gu Xijiu remembered that when she almost stepped into the water, she seemed to have stepped on something which saved her feet from being corroded.

She thought she stepped on a piece of wood but it was actually the golden tortoise he caught!

She could not help but look towards the stream. Was the stream water not high in acidity? How could a tortoise live in it?

The stream water was dark blue in color and its waves did not seem unusual.

She picked up a pebble at the bank and threw the pebble in.
