It was rare to see the Divine Lord so serious and focused, so Shang Lin hurriedly said, "Let's go into the tower and take a look. Besides, I still need to refine pills."

The deity asked instinctively, "Did you reach an agreement with Situ Pojun?"

"Hmm." Shang Lin said frankly, "Luckily, he wanted more than just pills, otherwise I would have been sick of refining pills."

"Then take fewer cases, don't overwork yourself, you're already sickly."

It was rare for the Divine Lord to be so considerate, so Shang Lin hurriedly said, "I know, but we need to treat Xiao Bai's injuries. Besides, Situ Pojun has already gone to the annual meeting and will probably be transferred. But no matter where he is transferred, it would be good to have some pills and talismans stored up."

The deity casually asked, "Is he really going to be transferred?"

Shang Lin nodded, "It seems so." Otherwise, Situ Pojun wouldn't have been so conflicted, and Lan Xuan and Shang Jing wouldn't have put aside their pride to argue with others.

"Then I'll go get an ID card too."

"No." Shang Lin refused instantly. "There are really not many things that require the Divine Lord's intervention, and I don't want Situ Pojun to know all our secrets."

God, "..."

Why did things change when it came to me? But I still cooperated and acquiesced, or to put it another way, I was Shang Lin's last trump card.

When Shang Lin and the Divine Lord entered the tower, Xiao Bai actually woke up. As soon as it opened its eyes and saw them, it roared in a low voice. If its body hadn't prevented it, it probably would have rushed over without hesitation.

The deity immediately frowned. "Is this brat out of his mind? He can't recognize a human face, let alone distinguish a human's aura? Is he going to mistake his benefactor for his enemy?"

Shang Lin, "..."

The God-King is as sharp-tongued as ever! He was the one who found Little White, the one who stole Little White, and the one who took care of Little White. These past two days, he's probably had all his attention on Little White, and yet...

Why did this tower spirit suddenly grow a mouth? But no matter what, the God's words gradually calmed Xiaobai down, and she just stared at them with her light blue eyes.

Shang Lin waited a while before stepping forward to ask, "Can you transform into human form?" His original form really takes up a lot of space.

Xiao Bai ignored Shang Lin and stared straight at the God Lord, feeling that he was familiar yet strange.

The deity actually reached out and patted Little White's head: "I am now a tower spirit, you can't sense the aura of your own kind."

With that, he flicked his wrist, and a large, pure white scale appeared in his hand. "This is my Heart-Protecting Scale from my past life. Can you be sure now?"

Xiao Bai was immediately excited, his eyes lighting up. Shang Lin, however, was annoyed. In such a critical moment in the Northwest, the Divine Lord had actually tricked him with a fake Heart-Protecting Scale! He knew it! No matter how hard the Crimson Scorpion's shell was, could it be harder than the Heart-Protecting Scale of the Ancient Divine Dragon?!

Those shimmering, beautiful scales were just ordinary scales on the deity's body; only this pure white, dull scale was the Heart-Protecting Scale. The deity truly had no intention of joining his sect!

The God-King probably knew what Shang Lin was thinking at the moment. While putting away the Heart-Protecting Scale, he explained, "Back then, my last wisp of remnant soul was inside the Heart-Protecting Scale. It has been nurturing my remnant soul ever since. So many years have passed, and it has long lost the hardness of the Heart-Protecting Scale. If I had given it to you back then, it would have harmed you."

Shang Lin was taken aback. "So the Heart-Protecting Scale has turned pure white and has lost all its luster. Is it broken?"

"That's not it. The Heart-Protecting Scale was originally like this, but it's no longer as indestructible and sharp as before." After saying that, the Divine Lord couldn't help but sigh, "Even ancient divine dragons are nothing in the face of time, let alone a mere Heart-Protecting Scale."

Shang Lin, "..."

This is something that one has to admit! However, compared to the vast majority of cultivators, the lifespan of the ancient divine dragons is already an existence that defies the heavens, and probably only the Xuan Turtle clan can compare with them.

Shang Lin then asked Xiao Bai, "Can you transform into human form?"

Having seen the Divine Lord's Heart-Protecting Qilin, Xiaobai was willing to communicate, but it directly shook its head at Shang Lin.

The deity hurriedly said, "It's just a cub. Even if it hadn't suffered such serious injuries, it would be good if it could transform into human form in another hundred years."

Shang Lin: "...It'll take that long? Won't Xiaobai be unable to leave the tower?"

The Divine Lord was somewhat annoyed. "What's the point of it leaving the tower in this state? Besides, is there any place in the human realm better or more suitable for it to recuperate than the Dragon Spirit Tower?"

Shang Lin disagreed, saying, "That's not necessarily true."

Then they asked Xiaobai, "Do you have any family? How were you captured by humans? If you have family, we need to send you back, right? Or notify your family, otherwise how worried would they be?"

The deity looked at Shang Lin helplessly, "What are you thinking? It's not a kidnapped human child. Its existence is already unbelievable enough, how could it possibly have a family? If it had a family, how could it have been captured by humans?"

Shang Lin, "..."

Is he an orphan?!

However, Shang Lin still looked at Xiao Bai with unwavering hope, wishing it could answer his question. Unfortunately, the little guy couldn't even transform into human form, let alone speak human language.

So Shang Lin continued to seek help from the Divine Lord, hoping he could find out more about Xiao Bai's situation.

However, the deity said, "A cub like it can only understand a limited number of your questions, so what else can you expect it to answer? In any case, its injury is the most important issue right now."

Shang Lin, "..."

Well, maybe I was just being too presumptuous. I assumed that just because cubs like Huangli can transform into human form and communicate normally with humans, all cubs can do the same.

However, Shang Lin was still worried about Xiao Bai being in the Dragon Spirit Tower, mainly because he was worried about the little turtle. Although it was now fast asleep and had no presence at all, who knew when it would wake up and what it would do?

Shang Lin thought and thought, and suddenly remembered that there was another painting in the Dragon Spirit Tower that suppressed the protagonist of "Girl Teasing Cat". Why not throw the little turtle in as well and suppress it? Maybe it can purify the area.

Without further ado, Shang Lin took out the painting and prepared to open it, but the Divine Lord grabbed his wrist and asked, "What are you doing?"

Shang Lin spoke frankly, "I need to send the little turtle in, and Xiao Bai needs to recuperate in the Dragon Spirit Tower. There can't be any potential dangers."

The deity did not let go. "If you want to seal the little turtle with the painting, you should paint another one. Otherwise, if all three are kept together, what if they devour each other over time and become an even more powerful monster?"

Shang Lin. "..."

He hadn't really thought about this question, because it's basically impossible for two different species to merge, but...
