However, just two days after the Snake King and the Little Whirlwind Turtle's conversation, while the Snake King was filming an advertisement, he suddenly received a message from the Little Whirlwind Turtle.
"Snake King, come quickly, I'm... I'm about to transform..." The little tortoise's voice was urgent, worried that the Snake King would be too late to protect the home.
Li Xian was taken aback, then said, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well and need to leave immediately..."
After saying that, he ran out of the filming location like the wind.
The filming crew was left behind, and the director stared at each other blankly.
He's not feeling well, yet he still runs so fast—it's clearly bullying! Li Xian is acting like a diva, and his excuses are so lame.
"Li Xian, this is outrageous!" Qin Shuang said angrily, "You stood up so many of us..."
Xiao Hua, Li Xian's assistant standing to the side, said with a smile, "Sister Shuang, Li Xian isn't an unreasonable person. He might really have something going on. We're all family here, so please don't be angry."
Qin Shuang took the bottle of water Xiao Hua handed her, took a few sips, and said, "If this weren't one of our own, I would have already started cursing. Is this how you do things?! How much money and resources are being wasted!"
Xiao Hua chuckled and said, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm treating you all to dinner on behalf of Li Xian as an apology. I'm sorry, Li Xian hasn't been feeling well these past few days, he might be feeling unwell again. How about we film the scenes without Li Xian first? Please, please."
Qin Shuang rolled her eyes. She was full of energy just now; how could she get sick so easily?
All you do is pretend!
Tomorrow I'll have to ask the Snake King what's going on.
The Snake King drove all the way, running several red lights, and finally arrived home.
"Little Whirlwind Turtle, where are you?" the Snake King transmitted his voice, he was really anxious.
The little tortoise mumbled, "I'm in the swimming pool."
Hearing that the Snake King had arrived, he could finally relax.
Snake King hurriedly walked towards the swimming pool and saw that Old Guo was about to go to the yard to clean. He quickly said, "Uncle Guo, wait a minute. Don't go to the swimming pool for now. I have something to do inside."
The Snake King blocked Lao Guo's way, preventing him from entering.
When Lao Guo saw that it was Li Xian, he knew that this was He Tiantian's cousin, who was now a big star. He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go clean up the other places first. If you have something to do, hurry up and do it."
"Mm-hmm." The Snake King nodded. "I need to practice my acting skills, so I need to borrow it. Don't come to clean today, come tomorrow."
Old Guo was naturally happy to do less work and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll come back to clean tomorrow."
Old Guo took his cleaning tools and went to the backyard.
Li Xian came in, locked the door, and looked at the little turtle in the swimming pool.
The little turtle is floating belly up in the swimming pool.
Seeing the comical little tortoise, the Snake King was both amused and exasperated.
"Why are you suddenly transforming into human form?" the Snake King asked. "Weren't you waiting for Huo Yingjie to arrive?"
The little tortoise was somewhat speechless, and said slowly, "Man proposes, God disposes! It rained today, so I wanted to swim in the pool, but unexpectedly, a bolt of lightning struck me, and that's how I ended up. I can feel myself transforming, but I can't turn over..."
"Hehe, the weather is so hot that there's thunder and lightning. I guess the heavens want you to transform into human form," said the Snake King. "Alright, I'll protect you here and not let anyone disturb you. You can transform in peace. I want to see what you'll look like after you transform."
After saying this, the Snake King set up a barrier in the courtyard, making it impossible for anyone outside to see inside.
"I want to know too." The little tortoise thought foolishly. It didn't need to be as handsome as its master, the Snake King was so handsome, even half of him would be fine.
Wait and wait!
One hour, two hours...
Six hours later, it was already dark, and the little spiral turtle was still lying on its back in the swimming pool.
When He Tiantian returned from outside, she heard from Aunt Guo that Li Xian had been hiding in the courtyard by the swimming pool since he came back at noon. Aunt Guo asked her to go and check on him, in case the young man was troubled by something.
He Tiantian left the child doing homework and came over herself.
"Li Xian, what are you doing in there?" He Tiantian asked, knocking on the door.
Upon hearing this, the Snake King opened the door and let He Tiantian in, saying, "Little Whirlwind Turtle is transforming into human form, and I'm here to protect her. Don't let anyone in unless it's absolutely necessary. This Little Whirlwind Turtle is slow at everything, even her transformation is so slow."
Following the Snake King's gaze, He Tiantian looked into the swimming pool and saw the little spiral turtle lying on its back.
"Little Whirlwind Turtle, are you sure you're transforming?" He Tiantian asked. "Is it reliable?"
“Yes, Madam, I’m about to transform into human form,” said the little tortoise. “Then I can play with my master.”
Hearing this, He Tiantian felt a warmth in her heart and said, "I also want to see what the little spiral turtle looks like when it transforms. Well, I can't help you here. Snake King, I'm entrusting the little spiral turtle to you. You must protect it well."
"Uh..." The Snake King, seeing the little tortoise dawdling like this, wondered how long it would take for it to transform. "Big Cousin, go tell Qin Shuang that I'm not feeling well and can't film. I was filming today and rushed back. That woman has a terrible temper, I'm afraid..."
Hearing this, He Tiantian patted the Snake King on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'll talk to Qin Shuang. You just need to stay with Little Whirlwind Turtle. Little Whirlwind Turtle is the most important person in our family right now."
The little spiral turtle, its belly up, was so excited it almost cried.
"Thank you, madam," the little tortoise said gratefully. "I'll do it as soon as possible."
"You're welcome, you're family too." He Tiantian nodded, recalling the moments since meeting the little spiral turtle. In her most difficult times, not only did the Snake King help her, but the clumsy little spiral turtle also did.
They had long since become her family.
After He Tiantian returned home, she told others that Li Xian was practicing martial arts and wouldn't let anyone go to the swimming pool.
The children stopped going swimming because of the cold weather, so apart from Lao Guo who would occasionally clean the yard, very few people went there.
The next day, before the little tortoise had even completed its transformation, He Tiantian called Qin Shuang and directly asked the Snake King for leave.
One day, two days, three days...
Not only was the Snake King anxious, but He Tiantian was also anxious and secretly came over to take a look.
"Little Turtle, how are you?" He Tiantian asked with concern. "If it really comes to a bad end, I have a jade pendant here. It was given to me by Brother Yingjie before he left. I crushed it to bring him back."
The little tortoise shook its head and said, "No need. Master is off to do important things. I can transform myself, it's just a bit slow... I'm sorry to trouble you..."
The little tortoise's voice grew softer and softer, worried that it was causing trouble for the lady and the snake king.
