The deep-sea turtle's disappointment was visibly evident to the naked eye.
I thought the iron tree had finally blossomed, but it turns out it was just wishful thinking.
By the way, what kind of creatures does Lord Turtle like?
At this moment, its mind was filled with gossip.
Luo Xinglan thoughtfully reminded him from the side, "Xuan Gui, it's time to get to work."
Their time is precious and must not be wasted.
Xuan Turtle: "..."
What a miserable life! It's bad enough that I can't sleep peacefully, but now I've been reduced to doing manual labor for others.
After all, it is a turtle that has lived for thousands of years. What kind of storms and waves has it not seen?
It tolerated such a small thing!
Holding its breath, the black tortoise went back into the water to collect the red forest jade.
Luo Xinglan couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're so diligent. It would be even better if you were my pet."
The Divine Turtle glanced at her and said indifferently, "Do you still want to tame the Black Turtle as a pet?"
Luo Xinglan nodded, looking at him with a hint of expectation: "Yes, yes, how do you think I should gain its approval?"
The divine turtle almost rolled its eyes: "You boss it around like it's nothing, and you still expect to gain its approval?"
Didn’t she see the look of dissatisfaction yet a hint of compromise in the black turtle’s eyes?
Luo Xinglan: I was careless.
Sun Zexia leaned closer and asked with great interest, "Do you think I have a chance?"
The divine tortoise glanced at him indifferently: "The Xuan Turtle doesn't like stupid people."
Sun Zexia: “…”
Okay, okay!
So you've smeared poison on the mouths of one or two of them?
He turned around angrily, completely losing all desire to be favored.
If the black turtle is as vicious as the divine turtle, then his life will be really miserable.
The black tortoise quickly emerged from the water.
Luo Xinglan changed his previous "capitalist" look and asked attentively, "Xuangui, are you tired? Come and take a break. You are just too diligent. I wanted to let you take a break just now."
The black tortoise spat out the red forest jade in its mouth and then asked, "When did you let me rest? Didn't you want me to work myself to death?"
Luo Xinglan retorted confidently, "Don't talk nonsense! When did I tell you to work yourself to death?"
Slander! Utter slander!
Although she did think so, she didn't say it out loud!
Xuan Turtle: "That's what you're implying."
Luo Xinglan spoke nonsense seriously: "You misunderstood, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that you've worked too hard and you should have a good rest."
"Really? So I misunderstood?" Black Turtle couldn't help scratching his head. "Well, I apologize. Actually, you're a pretty nice person."
This wasn't the first time Luo Xinglan had been given the "friend zone" card, but she remained silent.
Who would have thought that an old black tortoise would be so easily fooled?
She plays tricks on it, but it opens its heart to her?
Luo Xinglan felt a little sorry in his heart, but only a little.
Because she thought of a way to subdue the black turtle.
Although it may be a bit unkind, but...
Let's take it home first.
The black turtle floated quietly on the water to rest.
It’s more like being in a daze than resting.
It didn't even know how long it had slept. When it woke up, it felt that everything was different from before.
Luo Xinglan took the opportunity to get close to it, extracted a lot of information from it, and roughly understood its origins.
It originally came from the deep sea, but one day, it was suddenly attracted by a mysterious force, which brought it to this small lake from afar.
The "mysterious power" that attracts it is the treasure it protects - the Red Forest Jade.
According to it, it is waiting for a "destined person".
And Honglin Jade is the only connection between it and its "destined person".
Luo Xinglan's eyes were burning: "Look, do I look like your destined person?"
Black Turtle denied without a second thought: "Not like that."
Luo Xinglan pressed on: "Then why did you give me the Red Forest Jade? Didn't you say it was a connection between you and your destined one? If you gave it to me, wouldn't that mean I'm your destined one?"
The black tortoise glanced at the divine tortoise, its meaning clear.
It didn't give it willingly; it was clearly coerced!
Luo Xinglan pretended not to see it and asked again, "Then what kind of person do you think your destined one will be?"
The black tortoise's eyes were filled with longing: "He will appear on auspicious clouds."
Luo Xinglan: “?”
No, are you sure you're waiting for someone destined for you, not someone you're looking for?
Whose destined person will appear riding on auspicious clouds!
Suddenly, a thought struck her: "I just arrived riding on auspicious clouds."
The black tortoise was taken aback: "Really?"
Luo Xinglan nodded, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask the Divine Turtle. He definitely won't lie to you."
Although she flew in mid-air with the help of the divine tortoise, she did indeed meet the requirement of the Xuan Turtle "stepping on auspicious clouds"!
She came here stepping on auspicious clouds!
A crack appeared on the Deep Sea Turtle's calm expression, but he still nodded.
Yes, what she said is indeed correct, it's just that she "concealed" some of the facts.
The black tortoise widened his eyes in shock: "You, you really are my destined one! I've finally waited for you! You, you wait!"
After saying that, it plunged headfirst into the lake.
If the divine turtle had not pulled Luo Xinglan in time, Luo Xinglan would have fallen into the lake.
Luo Xinglan looked at the huge ripples on the lake and asked in confusion, "Is it... so happy that it's stupid?"
The turtle said nothing.
Luo Xinglan didn't expect it to answer him and stared at the water.
Soon, the black turtle floated up.
This time, its mouth was full of red forest emeralds, and even the island on its back was piled with red forest emeralds.
"This is all the Red Forest Jade, all for you, my destined one!"
Looking at so many red jadeite leaves, Luo Xinglan fell silent.
So, in such a short time, it has collected so much red forest jade?
So it wasn't using its full strength just now.
But what did it just say?
Is this all the Honglin jade?
Although the five of them had already put a lot of things into their backpacks, plus the things on the Black Turtle Shell Island, it was not a small amount, but it was still a little different from what she had imagined.
"There are no more Red Forest Emeralds at the bottom of the lake?"
Luo Xinglan asked.
Black Tortoise: "There's still a portion left."
"Then you just said that this is all the Red Forest Emeralds..."
The black tortoise explained, "To be precise, this is all the collectable red forest jade; there is still some uncollectable jade at the bottom of the lake."
Luo Xinglan didn't understand: "Can't collect? Why can't I collect?"
Black Turtle: "Red Forest Jade is only found here in the world. If it were all harvested at once, it would disappear completely. Leaving some behind is for the sustainable development of the resource."
Luo Xinglan nodded: "I see."
She looked up and around, and found that everyone had gone to the nearby area to kill schistosomiasis without her knowing.
She called out, "Come here for a moment. It's time to divide the spoils."
