Chapter 506 - A Mascot (2/2)

Ou Yangming pondered and questioned, “Are you planning to occupy this land for a century?”

“Yes, yes.” The spirit turtle quickly nodded. “Only for a century—nothing more than that.”

“Since you already came to the lower realm, could it be that you have a way to go back?” Ou Yangming sneered.

“Of course,” the spirit turtle responded without any hesitation, “The pa.s.sage to the upper realm will naturally be opened after a century. They’ll send another spirit beast here, and I’ll be able to return by the way I came.”

Seeing how it answered so naturally, it did not seem like it was lying at all.

Ou Yangming cast a questioning look at Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk.

“Master, it’s true that the pa.s.sage is opened once every century, but we can’t live through a century if we stay here without doing anything.” Multi-armed King Kong smiled bitterly and pointed at the sky. It was evident that it meant the Heavenly Thunderbolts would have killed them within a century.

“You’re so afraid of the Heavenly Thunderbolts, but why is this fella so confident?” Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows.

“Master, it’s planning to sleep for a century!” The goshawk shrieked and sounded like it was wronged.

“Can one dodge the Heavenly Thunderbolts by sleeping?” Ou Yangming was dumbfounded.

“Spirit turtles are known as the laziest creatures in the world, and they have lives so long that their cultivation bases will naturally improve even if they keep sleeping. As for the Heavenly Thunderbolts…” The goshawk glared at the spirit turtle then sighed. “Not to mention spirit turtles, even Multi-armed King Kong and me can avoid being spotted by the Heavenly Thunderbolts if we’re sealed.”

Ou Yangming nodded. He understood the difference between being sealed and sleeping, but he also understood what the goshawk meant.

‘I suppose the effect of sleep for spirit turtles is probably not much inferior to the effect of being sealed.’

“Master, how should we settle this fella?” Multi-armed King Kong’s rumbling voice was heard.

The spirit turtle instantly shouted, “Human powerhouse, I didn’t harm the Humans, so please forgive my recklessness and allow me to apologize to you!”

Ou Yangming scoffed. At the spur of the moment, the little red bird’s voice was heard in his head. “The Turtles are known to stand aloof from worldly affairs. Besides, killing a spirit turtle is a bad omen, so are you sure you want to kill it?”

The young fellow was struck dumb, and he looked at the little red bird. It seemed to be the little red bird’s first time giving him a suggestion.

Having said that, it was exactly the reason Ou Yangming attached special attention to it.

“Lil’ Red, what do you think we should do? I won’t be at ease if I let it stay here in seclusion. Can we send it back?” Ou Yangming asked the little bird through his conception.

“It’s easy—keep it and set it free once you return to the upper realm.” The little red bird did not object to his idea. “The interspatial band that I gave you can be used to keep living things, so let it sleep inside.”

Ou Yangming touched his wrist. He would not be confident about doing this before he was given the Long Feather Band but now, the vast s.p.a.ce inside the band could even accommodate Multi-armed King Kong, let alone a spirit turtle.

He flashed to the front of the spirit turtle and said sternly, “Since you don’t want to harm the Humans, go back.”

The spirit turtle was startled. ‘Human powerhouse, I can’t return to the upper realm now!”

“Let me worry about that,” Ou Yangming noted as he reached out his hand, then he continued after a pause, “When the time is right, I’ll bring you up.”

“Are you asking me to acknowledge you as my master? I don’t mind, so as long as you can guarantee my sleeping time, I’ll agree to do that.” The giant turtle blinked and was hesitant.

The goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong rolled their eyes at it. ‘You have eyes but fail to see.

‘Master already has us, so why would he need a lazy *ss like you?’

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “I never thought about being your master, but I don’t want a rare spirit turtle to die just like that. Don’t you want to sleep? I have a good place that’ll allow you to sleep until you return to the upper realm.”

The giant turtle’s eyes lit up at once, so much so that they seemed to be burning in flames. As such, there was an entirely different look in its eyes.

“Where? Where?” It yelled anxiously. If it was not because it was being pinned down by Multi-armed King Kong, it would have gone over to the young fellow already.

Ou Yangming chuckled and touched the Long Feather Band on his wrist. “I have a piece of interspatial equipment here, so you can come in and sleep. I a.s.sure you that you’ll be back in the upper realm by the time you wake up.”

The giant turtle widened its eyes. “Does the kind of interspatial equipment with ma.s.sive s.p.a.ce and the ability to keep living beings exist in this realm?”

“How would you know if you don’t try?” Ou Yangming scoffed. He flashed and arrived beside the spirit turtle, then the Long Feather Band on his wrist released an endless light and enveloped the humongous creature.
