Vol.2 – Chapter 61 – Be unable to live


A proud sun leapt out of the colorful clouds, and the morning glow dissipated in a moment.

Su Huanian and Su He didn’t talk much, and after a moment of silent flight, they arrived at the island where Feng Yaya was. This was an island they had never been to before, and it was Su He’s second time landing on it.

In the two months that Su He was away, the little girl had made rapid progress, conquering more than a dozen islands of various sizes.

She had become the undisputed queen of this area of water.

At this moment, Feng Yaya truly had an army of over ten thousand under her command, and surprisingly, there were no issues with supply management. Su He found that Green Snake was indeed quite capable of management, managing the exotic beasts of more than a dozen islands was no simpler than managing humans.

On the island, bonfires were burning and food was being grilled.

Unlike her daughter, Su Huanian rarely ate meat. She only picked a few fruits and sat next to Feng Yaya, listening to her daughter’s endless plans for the future.

Green Snake, with a face full of resentment, was recording various events on a stone slab. The newly hatched crocodile group needed training, two young eagles had already left the nest and were causing trouble every day, the thunder monkeys were fighting for territory and mates…

It was so annoying!

Su He hadn’t gone ashore yet, he still preferred to eat in the sea. This was his first meal after the Tribulation Crossing – the Glutton’s way of eating didn’t count.

The Glutton’s way of eating didn’t allow him to taste the food, it was just pure swallowing.

The killer whale had a good memory. As soon as Su He returned, it immediately recognized the situation and began hunting on its own. Su He no longer had to worry about how to deal with the number of points rolled by the dice. With the Glutton’s way of eating, he could eat as many two or three-star exotic beasts as there were.

Yuzhu was seriously communicating with the killer whale, telling it that the offerings to the gods should not be so rough, but should only take the essence. One should not tire of eating fine food.

The killer whale listened carefully, and in a short while, it caught another three-star shark and brought it to Su He, still alive and kicking.

Could there be anything better than fresh food?

Yuzhu’s face turned black. Could sharks be eaten? She could smell the shark’s urine smell from thirty miles away.

The whole shark was marinated!

The killer whale looked pleased with itself.

After the meal, Feng Yaya quietly moved to Su He’s side, leaned in close to his ear, and whispered, “Big Turtle, Big Turtle. Call your father and mother, and don’t hit me.”

Her eyes were sparkling.

Su He: “……”

Good girl, don’t court death! With your current state, even if you poke a hole in the sky, your mother won’t bear to hit you. But your bottom line is really low, not being hit is good?

“Also, these things are for you.” Feng Yaya took out a bunch of things from her small pocket and placed them in front of Su He. They were all things that Su He had left with her before the Tribulation Crossing.

Having seen the Dragon Turtle’s treasure trove, Su He felt pity when he looked at these treasures that Yaya had carefully guarded.

Had he been a bit too arrogant lately?

The Dragon Turtle was rich, not him!

Su He patted Yaya’s forehead: “They’re for you.”

“Eh?” Feng Yaya’s eyes widened: “Is this my dowry? I haven’t decided who I want to marry yet.”

She looked genuinely troubled.

Su He was speechless, what kind of nonsense was Green Snake teaching the little girl every day?

He looked up and saw Green Snake retracting her neck and retreating into the cave, her tail tip jabbing wildly on the stone slab, looking extremely busy.

Bang!

She jabbed a hole in the stone slab.

Green Snake had made good progress recently, she was able to hear the conversation between Feng Yaya and Su He from such a distance.

Su Huanian glanced over at Su He, and a point of white light fell on Green Snake. Green Snake looked up in surprise, not understanding why Su Huanian had done this.

This was a high-level sword cultivation method!

“Thank you!” Su Huanian said softly.

Even the Green Bird couldn’t win Yaya’s favor, but Green Snake was very popular with Yaya, even sticking to her. It was needless to say how Green Snake treated Yaya.

Yaya was innocent, but she could see the essence at a glance. If Green Snake was considering Yaya’s background and deliberately trying to curry favor, she wouldn’t be able to get into Yaya’s heart.

Just like the countless disciples of the Green Yuan Sect.

She truly loved Yaya.

When the sun was three poles high, Feng Yaya had already left Su He’s sea territory. She called Green Bird, Frog, and Green Snake, and began to simulate the sand table – she was actually using military strategy in her battles with exotic beasts!

How to feint, how to ambush, how to cut off their retreat, she knew it all.

Su Huanian listened with interest.

Su He sank to the bottom of the sea and began to sort out his own divine abilities and cultivation methods. He had originally thought that choosing the best cultivation methods for strengthening his body and true essence would be enough, but when it came to choosing, he didn’t know where to start.

The cultivation methods of the Dragon Turtle clan were all aimed at the Dragon Turtle. But Su He now had multiple snakes!

He could feel that the giant snake behind him was solidifying step by step with time. In the future, it might not only be a domain, but it might also solidify in reality. There should be a matching cultivation method for one turtle and one snake.

The elders of the clan must have considered this. Perhaps when the seven Dragon Turtles were in seclusion and merging with the Glutton, they would directly create a new cultivation method.

Should he wait?

But the cultivation methods created by the elders would surely be the most suitable for them. Su He would be better off creating a cultivation method of his own, like the elders.

But his pitiful knowledge reserve was not enough to support him in doing this.

Bai Ling?

Su He thought of Bai Ling, who danced alone under the moon. Behind Bai Ling was the illusion of Basalt, which meant that Bai Ling should have already condensed her true body. That dance might contain a cultivation method. Bai Ling wouldn’t do something useless… right?

She shouldn’t!

It was impossible to condense a piece of consciousness just to dance for him. Su He’s face wasn’t that big, he couldn’t enjoy such treatment.

He closed his eyes and tried hard to recall Bai Ling’s dance. With Su He’s current divine sense, as long as he was willing, he could perfectly recreate the crawling tracks of tens of thousands of ants at the same time.

Having a photographic memory was just basic.

Bai Ling’s boneless figure flashed through his mind over and over again. The more he recalled her dance, the deeper the impression, and even Bai Ling’s face and expressions were clear.

The more he recalled, the more Su He felt… short of breath!

Why did he become a human instead of a good Dragon Turtle? And he was flirting with me… no, she was more flirtatious in her Dragon Turtle state…Su He felt that his aesthetic sense was going awry. After the Tribulation Crossing, he was increasingly able to grasp the aesthetic points of various races.

Was it because of this ability that dragons were said to be lustful by nature? Did the Dragon Turtle also possess this?

Su He slowly opened his eyes. A day had quietly passed, and the sky had darkened, with stars twinkling overhead.

Reflecting on the day, he couldn’t find anything special about that dance, nor could he identify the hidden martial arts within it.

Should he try dancing?

Although he was a turtle, Su He’s control over his body was absolutely at its peak. Even those seductive and enticing dance moves were no problem for him, the only difference being the length of his legs.

However, the dance was too feminine, too tempting, and he was having a hard time getting over this mental hurdle. After much hesitation, Su He gritted his teeth, looked around, and swam away.

He wasn’t even human anymore, why should he care about face?

Dragon Turtle, shameless!

Advancement was more important than anything else.

Su He moved quickly, disappearing from the island in the blink of an eye.

On the island, Feng Yaya was attentively listening to Green Snake’s story of the Barbarian King, while Su Huanian’s brows were slightly furrowed as she watched Su He’s departing figure.

The Dragon Turtle’s expression had been changing constantly, as if he was facing a difficult situation. Was there danger?

Su Huanian rose on her Fairy Sword and quietly followed.

After swimming thousands of miles and ensuring that he was out of sight from the island, Su He finally stopped.

Looking around, he found the environment here to be excellent. The sea was calm, the moonlight was like water, dolphins were leaping, and fish were frolicking.

Su He stood up, his hind claws stepping on the water’s surface. Recalling the posture and tone of the Illusion, he didn’t change a thing. The Illusion was too unpredictable, who knew if the martial arts were hidden in the dance or in the casual conversation?

Su He cleared his throat, imitating the Illusion’s voice, and whispered, “Little clan brother, just this once, watch and remember, don’t forget!”

A chill ran down his spine, and Su He forced down the shudder in his heart. He began to dance like the Illusion, and although he couldn’t achieve the same beauty due to his physical limitations, he did his best to be graceful and charming.

He imagined a fairy dancing alone under the moon, her clothes fluttering elegantly, her charm fully displayed, her expressions vivid, and her charm overflowing.

After the dance, he didn’t feel anything special.

His true essence wasn’t stirred, his physical body wasn’t strengthened, and he didn’t comprehend any special breathing techniques or visualization diagrams.

It seemed like he had just simply danced.

This was embarrassing. The thought of his seductive dance made Su He’s head ache.

Evil thoughts, retreat!

Retreat!

Retreat!

The more he didn’t want to think about it, the more the image appeared in his mind. Even the memory of the Illusion’s dance had turned into a dancing black turtle. His claws were about to collapse the sea surface.

Despite all his efforts, he gained nothing. This was frustrating.

Su He tried to suppress his discomfort and wondered if he had made a mistake somewhere. The dance moves were fine, and those he couldn’t do were simply impossible. He couldn’t expect a Dragon Turtle to bend its waist!

Apart from physiological reasons, there was only the singing!

The Illusion’s dance was accompanied by a mermaid-like singing. Did he need to gather a group of mermaids for accompaniment?

Kill me!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

At most, he could let the mermaids record an Illusion. This was doable. Su He thought for a moment, then turned towards the passage that Su Huanian had opened.

The Illusion’s voiceover couldn’t be done by a single mermaid, it was a chorus. Letting Ugly Slave and Jade Pearl lead the singing, the two mermaid queens, would surely produce a better effect.

As Su He turned around, he saw a fairy in white standing quietly on the water surface three miles away, staring at him without blinking.

The fairy had excellent self-control and didn’t laugh.

Su He was taken aback and stood there in a daze.

After a while, he gradually came back to his senses, his turtle shell trembling.

Kill sister to prove the Dao… Kill sister to prove the Dao… Kill sister to prove the Dao…

This phrase kept circling in Su He’s mind, getting deeper and deeper.

Su Huanian glanced at him lightly and said, “You can’t beat me.”

Call for parents… Damn it! Who wants to call for parents? Should he tell them the reason?

“You… didn’t see anything, right…” Su He’s voice trembled.

“I saw it.” Su Huanian said softly, “From beginning to end.”

Su He closed his eyes. Let the world explode! Let the world end!

He couldn’t live anymore! He wouldn’t live anymore!

He struggled to open his eyes, “Sister, I mean… I was practicing martial arts, do you believe me?”

“I believe.” The fairy spoke softly.

“Even if you don’t believe me, I can’t help it. But this really is a martial art. It’s the turtle that left the martial art that’s crazy.” Illusion, I swear I’ll ram you to death with my shell if I ever get the chance!

Su He said miserably, “I suspect she deliberately set me up, intentionally making me… huh?” Su He opened his eyes in disbelief and looked at Su Huanian, “You believe me?”

Su Huanian gently gathered her hair and lowered her head, “Although I don’t know what this is, it should be a seductive martial art like the Heavenly Demon Dance, but… it’s not suitable for you.”

A turtle, especially a male one, really wasn’t suitable for coquettish posturing.

You’re laughing, aren’t you? You’re laughing! You can hardly hold it in!

Su He looked at her expression. Kill me, I really can’t live anymore! Unless we’re both embarrassed.

“Do you know how to dance?” Su He looked at Su Huanian.

Su Huanian raised her head, a hint of strangeness in her eyes, “I only know how to dance with a sword, do you want to see?”

“Yes!… No!” Su He snapped back to his senses. But the fairy across from him had already drawn her sword, her killing intent chilling!

Su He was stunned, shocked!

Wait, we don’t have any grudges, why are you so murderous? If anyone should be murderous, it should be me, right?

Su Huanian’s sword was like a crescent moon, striking directly. Su He covered his head and darted away, the image of Turtle Mountain appearing and pressing on his shell, blocking the Fairy Sword.

Su Huanian’s swords followed one after another, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

I want your father! I want your holy body safe! I want you to watch the sword dance!

She’s serious!

Su Huanian’s sword pierced into Turtle Mountain, accompanied by crackling lightning.

Feng Yaya, you damn traitor, your mother didn’t hit you, but she’s going to hit me now!Su He roared, a divine power surged towards Su Huanian—such divine power couldn’t harm her spirit. The gap in their realms was evident here.

Speaking of realms, Su He was only equivalent to the fourth or fifth step of demon transformation, but in terms of combat power, one claw could defeat a group at the fourth or fifth step.

Su Huanian was hit by the divine power, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, stunned for a moment. Then snowflakes began to fall, covering the world.

Above their heads was the round moon, blue clouds. Snow was flying over the sea, a sword-dancing fairy, and a colossal divine beast.

She’s using her realm?!

Su He roared again, launching the Mountain God Seal, heading straight for Su Huanian. The walnut-sized Mountain God Seal had a significant impact, like a mountain crashing towards her.

But Su Huanian gently deflected it with her Fairy Sword, lifting it effortlessly.

Su He’s realm had already unfolded, with heavy rain washing away the snow. Thunder and lightning flashed.

Su Huanian pointed her sword, and in an instant, all the heavy rain in Su He’s realm turned into snow.

Realm erosion.

Su Huanian’s figure flashed, and she was already beside Su He, her Fairy Sword lightly touching his neck.

“You’re dead.”

Su He was stunned.

He sensed that Su Huanian had not used a cultivation level beyond his limit just now, yet she managed to get close to him.

A Dragon Turtle was approached and didn’t counterattack?!

This was a disgrace!

Su Huanian put away her Fairy Sword, her bare hand pressing on his head, whispering, “The realm is not used like this. Fusion, let me guide you.”

The realm’s invasion came, and Su He did not resist. Was Su Huanian going to teach him something?

Just like when facing the enemy Teng Snake, the vast sea calmed down, the thunder and lightning above his head dispersed, but dark clouds covered the sky, and snow was falling.

The feeling of merging energies rose again.

But this time, Su He didn’t control it, he just followed the realm’s detection and carefully perceived it.

Snow was flying. The temperature in the realm was getting lower and lower, already below the temperature of a typical snowy day, but it was still dropping, yet the snow falling into the sea showed no signs of freezing.

Whether it froze or not was all up to Su Huanian. It seemed as if all the laws in the realm were controlled by Su Huanian.

Indeed, it seemed to confirm what Su He thought.

Each snowflake ignited a flame, a raging fire that seemed to burn a hole in the sky, yet the world began to freeze, becoming more and more solid.

The flames receded, and each snowflake had lightning flickering on it. It became unpredictable, Su He could sense that, if needed, each snowflake could be a complete Su Huanian.

Sword riding, lightning, instant kill…

Su Huanian’s voice was calm but pleasant, “I don’t know about the realm of divine beasts, but the realm of cultivators is like this. The realm is the heart! What the heart thinks, what the heart feels, the realm will show!”

As she spoke, she glanced at the spiritual snake floating on Su He’s turtle shell.

Who knows, whose manifestation is this?
