The little tortoise thought about it and felt a bit bewildered.

What should we do?

He Tiantian also found it somewhat difficult and asked, "Do you still have any magic?"

The little tortoise nodded and said, "Yes, madam!"

“Then call the Snake King over, but don’t let anyone else see him,” He Tiantian said. “Right now, the Snake King is the only person in the family I can discuss things with.”

The little tortoise thought about it and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Alright, I'll call the Snake King over."

After all, the Snake King had been in the human world for a long time, and being one of its own kind, it could better understand it.

After learning that Little Whirlwind Turtle was a beautiful woman, the Snake King returned to his room in a daze and sat down in a chair, looking rather foolish.

But... how could that be a beautiful young woman?

It was clearly a man's voice before.

That bastard Huo Yingjie, why didn't he say so earlier?

Suddenly, the Snake King remembered that when Huo Yingjie left, he entrusted the house to the little tortoise and put it in charge of monitoring the entire home. If it were a male, given Huo Yingjie's petty nature, would he have allowed it?

Absolutely not allowed!

The Snake King felt incredibly foolish, so incredibly naive.

Such a simple question, how could you not figure it out?

Just then, Little Whirlwind Turtle appeared silently in his room. Seeing the Snake King's somewhat annoyed expression, it chuckled and said, "Snake King, what's wrong? Aren't you happy for me? Today is the day I transform into human form. According to our demon realm, the day of transformation is our birthday. Since it's my birthday, what gift are you going to give me?"

I usually receive gifts when I see the young masters celebrating their birthdays.

The little tortoise felt that it only had the Snake King as a friend, and that they got along well, so it asked the Snake King for a gift.

Upon hearing this, the Snake King saw a little girl who reached his waist, beaming as she asked him for a gift.

At this moment, the Snake King was once again completely bewildered.

"Why are you here?" The Snake King frowned. Couldn't he at least give him some time to adjust?

The little tortoise felt a little disappointed when it saw that the Snake King didn't give it a gift. It lowered its head and whispered, "The Madam said she wants you to come over. She has something to discuss with you."

"You want me to go over there?" The Snake King was taken aback. "That's He Tiantian's bedroom. How can I go there?"

"Hehe!" The little tortoise chuckled meaningfully, "But I remember you used to always share a bed with the lady, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, the Snake King blushed, recalling his time in Qi Family Village.

That life was wonderful; I wish I could stay there forever.

Alas, that's impossible.

“Alright, I was younger than you back then, what’s there to be afraid of?” the Snake King said. “Alright, I’ll be right there.”

Although the Snake King was annoyed, he knew that today was a big day for the Little Whirlwind Turtle.

Although he couldn't get used to it yet, he couldn't leave the little tortoise without giving it a gift.

Thinking back to a while ago, he bought Huo Ruimin a watch, and the shopkeeper gave him another one as a gift. It's quite nice, so he'll consider it a gift for the little tortoise when it becomes human.

He'll find something good for the little turtle when he has time tomorrow.

Thinking of this, he took a box out of the drawer and said, "This is a watch, the little girl's watch. You can take it."

The little tortoise took the box, opened it, and saw that it was very beautiful. It thanked the snake king repeatedly, saying, "Snake King, you are truly my good friend!"

"Alright, let's go quickly," said the Snake King, not knowing why He Tiantian had called him over.

Although he had some expectations, he also knew that He Tiantian was a very upright person and would never do anything ambiguous. There must be something going on.

The little tortoise put on the watch, admired itself for a while, and then said, "Let's go, we can't keep Madam waiting."

You just remembered?

You've been enjoying it for several minutes now, haven't you?

Humans are so clever; they invented the term "tortoise speed," which was perfect for little tortoises. How accurate!

The Snake King muttered to himself as he walked ahead.

As for the little tortoise, it happily fiddled with its watch.

The two of them concealed themselves and arrived at He Tiantian's room.

When He Tiantian saw them arrive, she asked, "Snake King, we can't just suddenly have a little girl appear in our house! I called you over to discuss how to give Xiao Xuanxuan an identity."

"Little Xuanxuan?" The Snake King was taken aback and turned to look at the young girl beside him.

When the little tortoise heard the lady call her name, it finally raised its head and smiled sweetly at the Snake King.

Putting aside the initial discomfort, the little tortoise's transformed form is quite pretty, with its fair and tender skin and plump appearance.

Only then did the Snake King realize that "Xiao Xuanxuan" was his name.

Uh, this name is... well, it's quite fitting.

"Identity?" The Snake King was taken aback, remembering the ID card in his wallet. In the human world, one did indeed need an identity. "What are your plans?"

“Last time I told someone that you only have yourself left at home, so Xiao Xuanxuan can’t be your sister anymore,” He Tiantian said. “Then she can only be an orphan. Since that’s the case, I thought of a way for us to put on a show.”

"Staging a play?" the Snake King asked in surprise. "Is it that complicated?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, we need to give Xiao Xuanxuan a legitimate identity!" He Tiantian smiled wryly. It wasn't that complicated for her. If Xiao Xuanxuan were an ordinary human, it wouldn't be so troublesome, but she wasn't.

There has to be some explanation for the appearance of a living person!

“That makes sense, you can continue,” the Snake King said. If He Tiantian’s method didn’t work, he would think of another way.

“Xiao Xuanxuan pretended to be a child abducted by human traffickers and met you. You rescued Xiao Xuanxuan and took her to the police station, but Xiao Xuanxuan was unwilling and insisted on going with you,” He Tiantian said. “You are a single man, and according to Chinese law, you cannot adopt a child, but I can! I went to complete the adoption procedures and brought Xiao Xuanxuan home.”

The Snake King thought about it and agreed that the method was acceptable.

"But she's already seven or eight years old, doesn't she know her parents or where her home is?" the Snake King said worriedly, as this didn't make sense.

The little tortoise chimed in from the side, "It's okay, I can pretend to be stupid!"

He Tiantian and the Snake King looked at the little turtle together, and were especially surprised to see her adorable, blank expression.

“Yes, yes, we can pretend to be stupid,” He Tiantian said hurriedly. “That way, even if someone sees how beautiful Xiao Xuanxuan is and wants to adopt her, they won’t want to adopt her because they see that she is stupid. After all, raising a child is not like raising a pet; it requires a lot of responsibility. My family is rich, and if we adopt a child with a disability, we can provide the child with a very good material life, so the adoption process should be easier.”
