880: Chapter 237: Returning Home_4 880: Chapter 237: Returning Home_4 All scale armor was stretched out.
The entire Long Moon Mansion was pulsing with a joyous aura as an old dog, formed from the air, fluttered its ears and jumped down.
This was the Artifact Spirit of Long Moon Mansion.
Initially, Long Moon Mansion was contaminated by thieves using Strange Land, and the Artifact Spirit was damaged.
Not long after Su He and Su Huanian had started refining Long Moon Mansion, the old dog fell into a deep sleep.
It was only during the twenty years of Su He’s absence that it had managed to recondense.
The old dog happily followed beside Su He, uttering the word “master” once without speaking again or barking, simply keeping pace with dignity.
The epitome of steadiness, a true ‘Steady Old Dog’.
Inside Long Moon Mansion, birds chirped and cicadas sang, with continuous autumn rain on the west side.
In Autumn Lake, mermaids leapt through the waves, greeting Su He from afar.
They had finally gotten used to the presence of the Dragon Turtle, no longer fainting with excitement at the slightest provocation.
Yet after twenty years, there were signs they might revert to their old ways.
But they all maintained decorum, praying and paying their respects from a distance, careful not to intrude upon Su He’s life.
The mermaids were still too few in number—Long Moon Mansion, spanning three hundred li, was barely sufficient.
The Dragon Turtle Qi was beneficial for the growth and reproduction of the mermaids.
With nothing pressing at hand and life in Long Moon Mansion continuing smoothly, a population boom among the mermaids was likely on the horizon.
As Su He pondered this, she had already arrived at the Autumn Lake Cave House.
She flipped over and glided into Autumn Lake.
The water washed over her, and with a flick of her paw, a bronze mirror flew over—this was the bronze mirror Su Huanian used to check on his daughter.
The mirror surface flickered and showed the situation in Changfeng City; in the mirror a Little Dragon Turtle was sleeping soundly, drooling in its slumber.
This little guy still hasn’t woken up!
After some thought, Su He tossed out the Little Barbarian King and, with a flick of her paw, flung him towards the shore of Autumn Lake.
The Little Barbarian King landed next to Long Min with Su He’s voice: “Dragon Granny, Ya Ya in Changfeng City is sleeping too deeply.
Send a few mermaids over to help guide her through it.”
It was evident to Su He that Ya Ya had accumulated a vast amount of Heavenly Material Earthly Treasure within her body and was now slowly refining them.
The assistance of mermaids would make the process more efficient.
Mermaids did more than just polish shells and scales; their presence naturally influenced the surroundings, creating an environment more beneficial for the Dragon Turtle.
The relationship between Dragon Turtles and mermaids wasn’t simply that of divine beings and their followers but rather a mutually enhancing one.
Wherever the Dragon Turtle resided, the cultivation and reproduction of mermaids proceeded without hindrance.
And the reverse was also true.
Long Min bowed to accept the command, then turned his head and politely bowed to Mi Man: “The Long Moon Mansion is much like this, without many strict rules.
The Elders can reside wherever they please.
I shall take my leave for a moment to select a few suitable mermaids for the miss.”
Mi Man courteously returned the gesture, and Long Min hurried away.
Only then did Mi Man take a serious look at Long Moon Mansion.
With a mere expanse of over three hundred li, the place wasn’t large for a Dragon Turtle, but it was certainly comfortable.
Long Moon Mansion was almost detached from the outside world, connected yet able to disengage at any moment.
How did my young master come by such a cave dwelling?
With a smiling corner of her mouth, she watched Su He, now silent, and slipped into Autumn Lake.
With a flip of her hands, she retrieved several Magical Treasures.
These Magical Treasures were not for battling, but rather for the Dragon Turtle’s maintenance of its Turtle Shell and scales.
As attendants, the mermaids were professionals.
Gently separating the water, she descended beside Su He.
With a light flick of her mermaid tail, she floated to the side, beginning to meticulously clean Su He’s Turtle Shell.
In the past twenty years, amidst ongoing major battles, the Turtle Shell had been shattered countless times.
Although it had now fully healed without a scratch, it was still somewhat different from the original.
Mi Man was immensely patient, attending to it bit by bit.
A toad sat squatting on a stubborn stone nearby, tilting its head and looking on as if watching a craftsman repair a horseshoe.
After watching for a while, it finally asked, “When Soul Beasts and owners are one, the Dragon Turtle enjoys itself.
Can I…
not?”
Mi Man responded with a tender smile, looking at the toad, “Of course you can!”
She then shook the scraper in her hand, “But toads don’t have shells.
Would skin-scraping be okay?”
Green Flower: “…”
I will bite you, you know!
At that moment, Su He’s consciousness had already sunk into the Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm, looking around.
Next to her, the consciousness body of Su Huanian’s Frost Turtle had awakened and opened its eyes languidly, spotting Su He beside it.
A spark fell on Su He’s forehead, “Husband, where have you been?”
Su He smiled, “I went to suppress a few Houdous, and now I’ve returned home.
Have you come out of Phoenix Valley?”
Su Huanian smiled in return, “I am already at Flowing Light River.”
“I’ll come to pick you up!”
Su Huanian shook his head, “No need; I’ll be back in half a day.”
Su He immediately brightened up, “Great!
When you’re back, I’ll take you through Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace for a challenge.”
From what is known, if Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace wasn’t left by Baiyin, then it was by Tan Tai.
The likelihood of it obstructing Su Huanian was slim.
During the last Opening Heaven One-fold to enter the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace, getting hold of that information was already the limit.
After exiting, the palace was sealed by Uncle Lei, raising fears of potential crisis.
Now, there was no need to worry.
It recorded many secrets of Ancient Times, which Su He found highly intriguing.
Especially with regard to the stars positioned at the entrance of the channel to the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace, which relate to the cultivation of the Four Sacred Beasts, Su He was particularly concerned.
Now that her Boundary Status had improved, and without making progress in it, Su He feared she might directly advance to Stepping Sky Three-fold and miss the chance to enter the Evil-supressing Taoist Palace.
