Chapter 611: Chapter 612: Taming the Sea Turtle 2
Yang Chuxia felt like she was the big bad wolf.
Looking at the sea turtle, she touched her nose uncomfortably, rolled her eyes, and then asked with a smirk, "Do you want to eat meat every day? Or at least regularly?"
Immediately, the sea turtle nodded without hesitation, thinking to itself that it wouldn’t have craved meat if she hadn’t fed it some in the first place. But now that it had tasted meat, it couldn’t help but want more. Who asked her to be so kindhearted?
Seeing this, Yang Chuxia smirked again, but this time with a touch of cunning.
"Actually, it’s not impossible for you to eat meat," Yang Chuxia said as she stroked her chin, "But there’s a condition. I don’t know if you’re willing to accept it?"
The red sea turtle looked at her with questioning eyes.
Yang Chuxia cleared her throat and said, "You’re a supernatural sea turtle, right? And you’re also a millennium-old monster? I’m a millennium-old monster too. How about becoming my little sidekick? Being my sidekick isn’t so bad. I’ll provide for your food and drink, and protect you. Of course, you’ll have to repay me somehow. I don’t ask for much. Since you stay in the river and sometimes go to the sea, you must come across some valuable items, right? I won’t even mention the others, but the river clam with pearls inside must be something you can find. Just get me one every once in a while, okay?"
*cough cough* Ye Zi’an couldn’t help but feel embarrassed listening to her.
Xiaxia was so calculating. He originally thought she just wanted the giant sea turtle as a pet on a whim, but her real goal was the pearls inside the clam.
Well, actually, it was a beautiful misunderstanding. Yang Chuxia first wanted a cool pet just like the ones she saw in fantasy TV dramas.
But after a few days, she thought having this kind of pet was boring as it couldn’t be carried on her back or played with by holding.
However, she had already fed it meat for several days, and that couldn’t go to waste. So Yang Chuxia thought of the black pearl she exchanged in the past.
Upon further thought, the big fellow appeared to be a millennium-old fairy and grew up in the river and sea, so it should be able to get river or sea clams.
So, her thoughts took an unexpected turn.
At this point, after she had said all this, she thought the red sea turtle would angrily stomp on her a few times and then run back to the river.
But to her surprise, the sea turtle just gave her a contemptuous glance and slowly nodded its head.
Yang Chuxia opened her mouth wide, "You agree?" Thinking to herself, as a millennium-old monster, where is your integrity? You should at least let me threaten you a bit, pretend to have some backbone!
In the red sea turtle’s heart, it didn’t understand the idea of being a sidekick. However, as for those clams with pearls inside? Those were the things it used to grind its teeth on when it was bored. These humans had no taste, not wanting the good stuff but the thing it used as a dental chew. Since it didn’t lose anything, the sea turtle agreed.
At this moment, Yang Chuxia, despite her internal complaints, was still quite happy. So she said, "Since we’ve agreed, I’ll bring you meat tomorrow, but you have to get me a river or sea clam with a pearl inside."
The red sea turtle gave her another contemptuous look before preparing to submerge back into the depths of the river, but Yang Chuxia stopped it. "Do you have a name? How about I give you one?"
With a belly full of meat, the sea turtle was quite satisfied, and happily nodded its head.
Seeing it nod, Yang Chuxia happily said, "What should I call you? Big Red, Little Red, Millennium Giant Turtle? How about Millennium Old Monster? Oh, that won’t do, the name is too long. How about just Old Monster?"
