Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: Spirits of the Dead Sea
“Emma!” Just at that moment, the lake’s surface was disturbed yet again by a wave, but it was far smaller than the commotion Beiting Huang had caused. A large black turtle poked its head out of the water, cursing angrily, “Who is it? Who disturbed my lair? You little punk, show yourself!”
Atop the turtle’s head was a hat fashioned out of a lotus leaf, sitting askew. Its eyes, small as mung beans, scanned around. Qiong Qi and the others had already hidden away by the time the turtle appeared; at that moment, within a few zhang of the lake’s surface, only Beiting Huang and Yan Ye remained.
“Yan Ye, was it you?” The turtle was obviously fuming. Its size was uncertain as it didn’t swim up; it seemed only to stand on its limbs, exposing most of its body above the water, and said irritably, “You almost burnt me to a crisp, not to mention you’ve dumped half the water out of my lake. Weren’t you busily searching for your wife everywhere? How do you have time to bother with these old bones of mine?”
Its gaze inadvertently fell upon Beiting Huang, and it was so startled that its legs went weak, nearly causing it to fall back into the lake. It raised a claw and pointed at Beiting Huang, “Are you human or ghost?”
“What’s this ‘human or ghost’?” Beiting Huang was quite annoyed. She glared fiercely, already tired. She had just been comfortably nestled in Yan Ye’s arms when she was interrupted by this old turtle, so naturally, she was in a foul mood, “This isn’t your territory. I can do what I want. If you’re so capable, come and hit me!”
The turtle managed not to fall but steadied itself, staring fixedly at Beiting Huang with its mung bean eyes. It saw that although she looked a bit disheveled, her face was unmistakably that from its memory. However, her temperament seemed to have changed somewhat; she used to live in Tongshan and always appeared displeased, but now, just look at this audacious attitude; she was almost infuriating enough to kill.
“You, you, you think you have the right?” The old turtle, gasping with anger, stomped up from the lake, “Do you think I can’t beat you or what? I was just sleeping, but come on then, Little Huang Jiu. Whether you’re human or ghost, today, I, Turtle Grandpa, am going to teach you a good lesson!”
“Turtle Grandpa?” Beiting Huang let out a laugh of exasperation. A grandpa who picks fights upon meeting others was simply asking for it! She quelled the urge to ask Yan Ye about the identity of this old turtle and, pushing Yan Ye aside, slapped her hand on her waist, drew her flexible sword, and held it firmly, “You’d better pray I can’t beat you; otherwise, today, I’m definitely going to feast on roasted turtle!”
After speaking, she shouted fiercely, “Qiong Qi, Bai Ze, Xuan Wu, Bi Fang, this old turtle’s meat might grant eternal life after being eaten. I’ll share some with you too!”
Seeing Beiting Huang about to start a fight with the Ming Sea Divine Turtle, Qiong Qi and the others wanted to come over and enjoy the show. With Yan Ye around, they weren’t worried about Beiting Huang getting into trouble; at worst, it would just be a fight. But hearing Beiting Huang talk about roasting and eating Xuan Ming Divine Turtle and sharing some with them too, all four of them were so frightened that their legs went soft, and they tumbled to the ground in unison.
Could they even refuse? Was the Ming Sea Divine Turtle so easy to deal with? This old fellow already had the strength of a Great Lord in the 33 Heavens; even though he hadn’t progressed much due to the constraints of the plane for many years, he was still not to be trifled with. Does the Demon Queen even know what this creature, oh no, I should say, what this character truly is?
Beiting Huang didn’t care. She rolled up her sleeves and hacked fiercely at the turtle with her sword.
