?Chapter 695: Chapter 695: Cursing Out Loud_1 Chapter 695: Chapter 695: Cursing Out Loud_1 “Sir, over the years, I have been sleeping here obediently, I really am a good turtle, I haven’t lied at all…”
Xu Fan still had a cold expression, his demeanor not softening in the slightest.
He naturally understood that the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle was a creature of gentle nature, but this was a racial characteristic, and sometimes within a race, there inevitably would be individual exceptions.
Xu Fan was deliberately doing this to probe the true nature of the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle; after all, he was planning on leaving the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle with Tongtong, so naturally, no amount of caution was too much.
Comparatively speaking, there was hardly a more suitable bodyguard than the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle.
Even against enemies it couldn’t overpower, it could still hide Tongtong inside its shell.
With the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle’s strong defense, it was virtually impregnable.
According to Xu Fan’s assessment, as long as the enemy’s strength did not exceed the Nascent Soul Realm, it basically wouldn’t be possible to penetrate the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle’s shell defense.
Unless the enemy was a freak like Xu Fan, but such cases were negligible, practically zero.
However, to take on the important role of protecting Tongtong, good morals were a prerequisite.
Otherwise, even if the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle didn’t harm Tongtong, what if its poor character led Tongtong astray?
The might emanating from Xu Fan grew increasingly intense as if the majesty of the heavens had descended upon them.
The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle grew more and more frantic.
Initially, it could barely withstand the pressure, but as time passed, it soon couldn’t bear it any longer.
Plop!
The creature’s limbs buckled, and it collapsed to the ground.
For a moment, the entire cave shook violently, and chunks of rock fell from the ceiling, raining down like a deluge, making it seem as though the cave itself might collapse and be destroyed.
The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle felt the air around it seemed to solidify in an instant, making even breathing, such a simple act, seem like an extravagant luxury.
The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle didn’t doubt that if things continued like this, it might even suffocate to death.
This brought a dense feeling of despair to its heart.
Since it was going to die anyway, it now felt a surge of rage, thinking it might as well enjoy a final rant before it died.
It began to curse at Xu Fan.
“You damned human, Grandpa Turtle has had no quarrel with you in the past or present, yet you dare to lay such a vicious hand on me!”
“Grandpa Turtle says he never killed a human, and that is the truth.
Even in death, I will not change my story.”
“Even if I descend to the netherworld, Grandpa Turtle will not let you off.
I’ll wait for you there, and then we can fight a life-and-death battle!”
“Even if I die, Grandpa Turtle will curse you to have a son without an anus…”
…
In the spacious cave, the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle’s voice became exceptionally loud, thundering like a storm.
Xu Fan’s expression stiffened, this damn turtle, daring to curse at someone, was really too much!
But he finally understood, observing that the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle indeed hadn’t deceived him just now.
Under the pressure of his Divine Sense, had the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle shown any sign of lying, it would have been impossible to conceal from him.
With this realization, Xu Fan dispersed his aura.
The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle felt as if a huge mountain had been suddenly lifted from its body, and it immediately felt lightened, nearly bouncing up with joy.
Immediately, it snapped back to its senses, lifted its head, and saw Xu Fan’s scowling face.
“I…” The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle suddenly became mute.
It had thought it was surely going to die, and so it had spoken without a filter, but now that it had come back to life, the courage that comes with fearlessness vanished without a trace.
Feeling Xu Fan’s gaze becoming increasingly hostile, it hurriedly yelled, “Sir, you’ve misunderstood, you really have misunderstood.
?????.??
Just now, I wasn’t cursing you, I was cursing myself, yes, I was definitely cursing myself.
I’m worthless, I’m nothing but a turtle bastard…”
Seeing the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle’s abject performance, Xu Fan truly hesitated in his heart.
Taking such a thing back with him, he wasn’t sure if it was right or wrong.
However, Xu Fan had always been decisive, and his hesitation didn’t last long before he made a decision.
After all, it was just a Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle.
No matter what, it wouldn’t be able to flip his palm.
If something turned out to be amiss later on, it wouldn’t be too late to correct it then.
With that thought, Xu Fan spoke, “So now, you must have made your decision, right?
Will you accept my demands, or would you rather I kill you?”
That damn choice again, the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle couldn’t help but recall the scene over a thousand years ago when it was driven from its home by that hateful beast.
Back then, it was also faced with a choice.
But it chose not to submit and was driven out of the sea to land.
Now, after a thousand years, this damn human brat was actually threatening Grandpa Turtle, which inevitably infuriated the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle.
Yet, its face took on an ingratiating tone, “May I know what your demands are, sir?
My strength is insufficient, I fear I might delay your affairs.”
If it could avoid death, it naturally didn’t want to die; it still had a splendid turtle life to enjoy, after all.
Xu Fan smiled slightly and then took out the Four Symbols Creation Flag, saying to the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle, “My first demand is this.”
“This is called the Four Symbols Creation Flag, which needs a soul close to the Four Symbols to activate.
Your abilities might not be great, Old Turtle, but the aura of your soul belongs to the Black Tortoise of the Four Symbols, so I need to make use of your soul.”
“What did you say…”
The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle was immediately shocked, and it scrambled backwards several steps, shouting, “You want to take my soul, aren’t you still going to kill me?”
Xu Fan laughed softly, “You can be at ease.
I’m not aiming to take your soul, I only need your soul to enter the Four Symbols Creation Flag to activate it using your aura.
You won’t die from this, at the very most you’ll just feel weak for a few days, that’s all.”
“No, no, this is too dangerous, I can’t help you!” The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle quickly shook its head in refusal.
After all, this involved its own Divine Sense; how could it be a small matter?
If anything went wrong, it might not even have the chance for reincarnation.
“Mind your attitude, I’m not here to negotiate with you!” Xu Fan’s expression chilled as he unleashed his immense aura once again.
