When they reached the guardian beast statue, the children saw He Tiantian, an adult, approaching. They glanced at her a few times, thinking she wasn't a bad person, and then went back to playing.

They lined up and took turns playing the vault.

This game is very simple. Use the stone statue in front of you to run to the side, put your hands on the back of the stone statue, spread your legs, and jump over it.

This game is very simple. The object being stepped over can be a person who is bent over, or it can be a professional vaulting horse in a gym.

He Tiantian sat on a stone bench to the side, watching the children play games.

"Alas, how pitiful!" the Snake King sighed. "The more pitiful he is now, the more wronged he suffers, the harder he will be to subdue him in the future."

He Tiantian remained silent for a while before emerging from her emotional state and saying, "Snake King, let's not talk about this anymore. First, check if the seal has loosened."

This guardian beast stone statue is now shiny and black, clearly indicating that it has been "ridden" many times.

Such an insult is not something everyone can swallow!

"My magic power is not strong. I can only see it if your left hand is placed on its head," the Snake King said speechlessly. His magic power was not high, and he was restricted in every way.

He Tiantian could only wait, wait for the children to come home, so that she could place her hand on the stone statue alone.

He Tiantian was bored, so she wandered around. When she returned around 6 o'clock, she saw that there were fewer children in the square, only two or three, and they were a bit far from the stone statue.

He Tiantian walked up to the stone statue, placed her left hand on the Snake King's head, and said, "Snake King, it's your turn."

The Snake King released its divine sense to probe the stone statue, but it was bounced back as soon as it touched it.

He Tiantian loosened her grip and took two steps back.

The guardian beast statue blinked its eyes and looked at He Tiantian with a bewildered expression, like a simple-minded little calf.

He Tiantian, the Snake King understands that the seal has loosened!

By this time it was completely dark, and the two children not far away were also taken away by their parents who had come home from get off work.

He Tiantian stared in disbelief, pointing at the憨厚 (honest and simple) stone statue, and stammered, "Snake King, that little turtle is alive?"

The Snake King peeked out from the barrier and looked curiously at the stone statue that He Tiantian had called a little turtle.

Before the Snake King could answer, the little stone statue asked innocently, "You... are you my master?"

He Tiantian was taken aback and was about to shake her head.

The Snake King had already answered for He Tiantian, saying, "Yes, yes, we are your masters!"

The black tortoise blinked at the Snake King, made a very human-like expression, pursed its lips, and said, "You and I are both our master's pets..."

pet?

The owner's pet?

Pets my ass!

I am the mighty Snake King!

He Tiantian is this king's little follower!

The Snake King jumped out of the barrier, his neck stiff, and shouted, "Shut up! She's my little follower, and you'll be my little follower too!"

He Tiantian dared not provoke the Snake King, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, I am the Snake King's little follower!"

The little black turtle's eyes became glazed again, and it said, "How could this be?"

It uses its remaining memories to think about things from the past!

As if contemplating something terrifying, its innocent expression suddenly turned ferocious, and it hissed at the top of its lungs, "Humans, I will take revenge on humans... Hahaha..."

As a human, He Tiantian took several steps back and asked cautiously, "Snake King, what... what should we do?"

She was so adorable just now, and now she's acting crazy. How can she change so suddenly?

The Snake King also looked at the tortoise not far away with a puzzled expression. After a while, he whispered, "Don't rush, let me take another look."

"Has it gone mad?" He Tiantian asked in surprise and doubt. "Its revenge on humans? It's come too fast!"

"Shut up!" the Snake King yelled at the crazed stone statue. "You can't move now, so how are you going to take revenge on humans?"

The black turtle stopped its frantic ravings, blinked, made a sorrowful expression, and said, "Yes, I can't move. How can I take revenge on humans?"

He Tiantian felt slightly relieved upon hearing this.

Before He Tiantian could speak, the black tortoise resumed its frenzied rampage: "Hahaha, the spell on my body activated automatically the moment they dug me out. Even without my intervention, the humans in this place won't have any peace... la la la..."

He Tiantian was speechless. One moment she was adorable and the next she was manic. It was a classic case of split personality!

“But do you find happiness in taking revenge on humanity?” He Tiantian mustered her courage and said, “Your master created you to bring blessings to the people, but you have gone against your master’s original intention. Isn’t that a betrayal?”

"Blessing the people of this region?" The black tortoise blinked its big eyes again, tears welling up in them, looking pitiful.

Yes, that's what the master said back then!

Its owner's image appeared in its mind!

“Yes, your master’s original intention in creating you was good…” He Tiantian didn’t say anything, and the black turtle went berserk again.

"I've been doing this all along, but humans have no conscience. I don't mind if they don't give me food or water, but why did they dig me out? I was perfectly fine at the bottom of the river!" The tortoise statue erupted again, its fierce demeanor replaced by a menacing one.

He Tiantian looked embarrassed; indeed, it was humans who acted unfairly!

People were perfectly fine at the bottom of the river without asking for any reward, yet they were forcibly brought over. "Thousands riding on ten thousand people" is truly undignified!

"Then what do you want to do?" the Snake King said coldly. "Let me tell you straight, you only have two choices. The first is that I will crush you into dust and turn you into mud, so that you will disappear from the world forever."

Under the pressure of the Snake King, the tortoise statue transformed back into an obedient little creature, shaking its head repeatedly and saying, "I don't want to disappear... What about the second path?"

This guy isn't stupid!

"Heh heh, a wise man knows when to yield. Listen up, Your Majesty," the Snake King said arrogantly. "You can come with us. You've been all alone for so many years. With two of us as your friends, you won't be so lonely anymore. But before that, you must retract your previous curse!"

The tortoise statue has been at the bottom of the river for tens of thousands of years, surrounded only by mindless fish and shrimp, and has always been very lonely.

But it cannot move; it is merely a wisp of divine consciousness that has been cultivated for millions of years before it can speak.

"You...you didn't lie to me?" the tortoise stammered, but its eyes gleamed with excitement; it desperately wanted to leave this place.

It is an incarnation of the whirlpool turtle, and it still prefers to stay in the water.

The Snake King, though not angry, exuded an imposing aura and raised his head, saying, "I am the Snake King of the Demon Realm. You should feel extremely honored to have my help!"

However, this divine beast statue was no pushover. With an innocent expression, it asked, "Then... then how did you come to the human realm, which has no spiritual energy? My master is gone too... Waaah... He didn't take me with him!" (To be continued.)
