?Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Two Conditions_1 Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Two Conditions_1 Xu Fan’s words caused a rigid expression to form on the face of the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle.

Then Xu Fan retracted his imposing aura, revealing a gentle smile again, “Moreover, you can rest assured, I am not asking for your help for nothing.

I have a martial arts technique in my possession called the ‘Heavenly Profound Governing the Azure Technique’, which is a top-notch secret teaching of your Turtle clan, inherited from the Black Tortoise divine beast.

As long as you agree to help me, once the matter is successfully concluded, I will impart this technique to you.”

Upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, the eyes of the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle immediately lit up.

To it, this was an incredibly strong attraction, for it was a top-tier martial arts technique inherited from the Black Tortoise divine beast.

Xu Fan quietly watched the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle, offering no rush.

On one side was certain death, while on the other was agreeing to help and also getting an irresistible offer.

As long as the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle was not brainless, it should know how to choose.

True to expectations, it wasn’t long before the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle nodded and said, “Alright, I agree to your terms, but what exactly do you want me to do?”

Xu Fan said, “Let’s not discuss this for now; I will continue with my second request.”

“The second requirement is quite simple; it’s to protect my daughter for a period of twenty years.”

“Once this period is over, I will not only grant you your freedom, but I will also give you a tremendous opportunity that will allow your bloodline to advance even further.”

Enhancing the bloodline was another irresistible enticement for the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle, even more tempting than the prospect of enhancing its realm.

Furthermore, twenty years was just a fleeting moment for a creature like the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle that could sleep for a thousand years at a time; it was practically nothing.

With this thought, where was there any hesitation left in the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle?

It quickly nodded and said, “Okay, I agree to this request as well.”

Xu Fan asked, “With your current cultivation, you should have the ability to transform into a human form, right?”

The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle responded somewhat uncertainly, “It should be possible, though I have not attempted it before.”

In its heart, it wondered, what use was there in turning into a human?

Behold the greatness of the Tortoise Lord, so giant, this will surely be called mighty and handsome.

Xu Fan said, “If that’s the case, then try transforming now.

After all, it’s not convenient for you as a turtle to live in human society.”

Since it was Xu Fan’s request, the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle agreed by nodding its head.

Immediately, it closed its eyes and searched through its inherited memories, trying to recall the method to transform into human form.

About a minute later, the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle finally found the method to transform, and it let out a roaring sound similar to the effort exerted during constipation.

The entire cave trembled slightly as the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle’s body shook, and stones rolled down continuously.

Quickly, a burst of white light emanated from the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle’s body, enveloping its whole body so that the inside was no longer visible.

After another ten or so seconds, the light gradually faded away.

Where the colossal form of the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle once was, there now stood a little old man dressed in a blue robe, less than five and a half feet tall, with white hair and beard, and even a black hat on his head.

Yet this wasn’t the strangest thing; the strangest was the enormous turtle shell on its back, with the top of the shell almost reaching the height of its head.

The first impression it gave was that of the Tortoise Prime Minister straight out of a film or television drama, comically ridiculous.

Xu Fan looked at the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle speechlessly, sighed, and said helplessly, “Why have you exposed your turtle shell?”

The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle responded as if it were a matter of course, “What’s the problem?

My shell is the most powerful part of my defense and also the most attractive; of course, it should be exposed.”

Xu Fan, not in the mood to argue with the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle, scolded, “Enough, stop babbling and retract your shell to look more like a human.

I’m going out first; you come out immediately after you’ve transformed.”

With that, Xu Fan rose from the ground and flew out through a crack in the cave.

“Such a trivial human perspective, truly incapable of appreciating my handsomeness!” the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle shook his head.

However, he didn’t dare to defy Xu Fan’s wishes.

Performing a hand seal, he tucked away the turtle shell on his back.

After the shell was gone, it, or rather “he,” indeed looked much more normal—practically indistinguishable from an average person.

Then he cast a reluctant gaze upon the cave that had been his “home” for a thousand years.

The aura here was incredibly familiar to him, and the sudden departure made him feel unexpectedly a tad sentimental.

It was just like when he first left the vast ocean; that too, was a reluctant farewell.

????0.??

As they say, a golden mansion or silver house is not as good as one’s own doghouse, but each departure wasn’t his to decide upon.

He then took off from the ground and flew out through the broken opening of the cave.

The day had already dawned outside.

The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle hadn’t been out in a long while, and the sudden sunlight made him squint, taking quite some time to get used to the brightness.

Basking in the warm sunlight, he enjoyed himself, saying with a content face, “This warm sunshine is just too comfortable—I really feel like going back to sleep for another thousand years.”

“Enough with the sleeping,” Xu Fan, standing below, said impatiently.

The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle quickly adjusted his expression and landed beside Xu Fan, clasping his hands and saying, “Little Gui pays his respects to the master.”

Xu Fan said, “No need to call me master; just ‘Young Master’ will do.”

“Yes, Young Master,” the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle agreed readily.

Xu Fan asked, “By the way, do you have a name?”

The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle nodded, “Of course, my name is ‘Bluho-Hosangin-Mikikasumiwosh…’.”

A string of names that went on for a full thirty seconds.

Only a ghost could remember such a name.

Xu Fan resigned himself to saying, “Forget it, from now on I’ll just call you ‘Old Turtle.’

The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle: “…”

Truth be told, he was quite dissatisfied with Xu Fan’s way of addressing him.

His age, within the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle race, amounted to nothing more than the youthful stage—hardly “old” in the slightest.

It was like calling a man in his twenties an “old geezer,” nothing short of an insult.

And the reason why he now transformed into the image of an elderly human was merely a racial trait; even an infant from the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle race, when in human form, would look like an old man.

That didn’t compare to his own name, which was significant, heroic, and domineering.

But dissatisfaction aside, when it came to Xu Fan’s decisions, he naturally didn’t dare to voice any opposition.

“Let’s begin fulfilling my first request now,” Xu Fan said.

Xu Fan took out the Four Symbols Creation Flag and continued, “Now I’m about to open the space within the Four Symbols Creation Flag.

Relax your mind, and do not resist at all.
