Moreover, this turtle is particularly clever and smart. After realizing it had been captured, it was extremely obedient and behaved well, as if resigned to its fate. "Ancestor." Wang Shouzhe said, "Can you recognize what species of fierce beast this is? It seems like a Water Origin Spirit Turtle." Ancestor Longyan examined its shell, the patterns, and shape, then said, "It’s indeed not any rare spirit seed, just a Water Origin Spirit Turtle." Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzhe was slightly disappointed. Seeing it so lively, he had thought it might be some ancient alien species. However, thinking further, most fierce beasts in this world are ordinary spirit seeds. Where would there be so many ancient alien species? Wang Shouzhe had also seen Water Origin Spirit Turtles in the Fierce Beast Atlas. Water Origin Spirit Turtles are generally mild-mannered and prefer calm environments, tolerate extended underwater life, mainly feeding on aquatic fish, and they prefer spirit fish if available. Their bloodline inheritance includes one or more water element profound skills. From its previous performance, it seemed to have awakened at least two innate profound skills from its bloodline. In Wang Shouzhe’s understanding, bloodline inheritance is genetic inheritance. In his world, there is a practice of passing down knowledge, profound skills, and cultivation methods through bloodline genes. How much one can awaken depends on the genes’ strength; the thicker the bloodline, the more complete the inheritance. Humans also have bloodline inheritance. Abilities awakened through bloodline are called innate abilities, contrasting with those mastered through postnatal learning. "Shouzhe, this spirit turtle looks pretty good," Wang Xiaohan said with great interest. "It’s smart and clever. Why not tame it and make it our family spirit beast?" "Ancestor Longyan, what do you think?" Wang Shouzhe asked. After a brief contemplation, Ancestor Longyan said, "Grandfather didn’t kill it back then, hoping to see if it could be tamed into a family spirit beast as it matured. Turtle spirit beasts have two major benefits: gentle temperament and high loyalty, and their extraordinarily long lifespan." She paused for a moment, then continued, "But once it becomes a family spirit beast, you are obligated to feed it. Keeping a spirit beast incurs significant annual expenses." After some thought, Wang Shouzhe said, "Spirit Turtle, I know you can understand me. If you become our family spirit beast, you’ll receive a hundred pounds of spirit fish each year, and if you fight for us, you’ll get extra tributes in spirit fish." Unexpectedly, the Water Origin Spirit Turtle tilted its head, showing no interest in Wang Shouzhe. "Uncle, uncle! You can’t treat spirit beasts this way." Wang Lici came running back, holding the little tiger HuaaHuaa. "Let me try." Wang Shouzhe felt she indeed had a way with animals. Maybe his tone was too stiff and lacked friendliness. Perhaps Lici should try, since girls are generally more gentle. Wang Lici circled the Water Origin Spirit Turtle and then fiercely said, "Listen up, turtle. You have two paths. Either obediently become our Wang Family spirit beast and enjoy annual care." "Or I’ll have Uncle cut you into eight pieces. I’ve never eaten spirit turtle before. This leg braised, this leg steamed, this leg in soup, this leg grilled...this leg is too small? Hmm, stir-fried then..." Little girl, I only have four legs, how did you count five? The Water Origin Spirit Turtle was terrified. It sensed that this human girl wasn’t joking. She really wanted to eat. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩 In the face of danger, it hurriedly nodded, indicating willingness to become a family spirit beast, as long as it could often eat that grilled fish. "No problem with grilled fish, but only if you behave well," Wang Lici threatened coldly. "Be obedient, and you’ll have everything. Don’t listen, hehe...you know." Understood, understood! The Water Origin Spirit Turtle nodded quickly. "Uncle, flip it over." Wang Lici casually instructed. Wang Shouzhe raised an eyebrow, but still flipped the Water Origin Spirit Turtle over. This big guy was really heavy, likely weighing over a thousand pounds. He asked, "Big Girl, aren’t you afraid it’ll escape?" Once its feet touched the ground, the Water Origin Spirit Turtle immediately felt a sense of security, retracting its legs, raising its tail, and relaxing its neck. Hearing the word ’escape,’ its large eyes fixed themselves, as if longing. "Escape? Haha, I wish it would run. This Zhuwei Lake spans only ten thousand acres—where could it go?" Wang Lici said indifferently. "If it tries to run, killing it for meat wouldn’t be a loss, weighing over a thousand pounds, enough to eat for a long time. And its shell can boil turtle jelly, perfect for summer detoxification and beauty care." The Water Origin Spirit Turtle quickly retracted its head, wondering how this human girl could be so ruthless at such a young age. Eating the meat wasn’t enough—she wouldn’t even spare the shell. It then walked step by step toward the shore. Wang Shouzhe and Wang Xiaohan both looked at Wang Lici. Since they trusted her, they let her take the lead. Wang Lici waved her hand, signaling them not to worry. Sure enough, the Water Origin Spirit Turtle arrived at the shore, didn’t enter the lake, and began sniffing around the ice residue. It found the dropped grilled spirit fish flesh, picked it up, and leisurely enjoyed it by the shore. This scene amused Wang Shouzhe. This Water Origin Spirit Turtle had a truly relaxed attitude. Just captured, became a family spirit beast, and it had already thrown away its worries, fully enjoying its turtle life.
