Chapter 120: Chapter 105: Step by Step, Strengthening Family Heritage_1

Moreover, this turtle is quite crafty and intelligent. When it realized it had been captured, it immediately portrayed a meek and obedient demeanor, making it seem as if it was willing to be butchered.

“Old Ancestor,” Wang Shouzhe asked, “Do you recognize what kind of fierce beast this is? It seems like a Water Elemental Turtle.”

Old Ancestor Longyan checked its shell, patterns, and shape and said, Indeed, it’s not a rare spirit species; it is simply a Water Elemental Turtle.”

Hearing this, Wang Shouzhe was slightly disappointed. Seeing how lively it was, he had expected it to be some sort of ancient exotic beast.

However, he realized that most of the fierce beasts in this world were common spirit species. Where would one find so many ancient exotic beasts? As for the Water Elemental Turtle, Wang Shouzhe had seen its depiction in the Beast

Atlas.

Water Elemental Turtles have a mild temperament; they prefer stillness and a tranquil lifestyle. They can live in water for a long time and mainly eat aquatic fishes, but a spirit species fish would be an even more delightful meal.

In the bloodline inheritance of this spirit tortoise, there is one or more water spirit metric technique. Based on its performance before, it had awakened at least two talents in its bloodline.

According to Wang Shouzhe’s understanding, bloodline inheritance is like genetic transfer.

The creatures of this world have a habit of transferring some knowledge, metric techniques, and cultivation methods, etc., through genes in their bloodline. However, the amount they can awaken depends on the density of their bloodline—the denser it is, the more complete the inheritance.

Within humans as well, there is a situation of bloodline inheritance. The abilities awakened through this bloodline are referred to as talents, which stand in contrast to abilities gained through acquired learning.

“Shouzhe, I find this spirit tortoise quite interesting,” Wang Xiaohan expressed with interest, “It’s very smart and nimble. Why not tame it and make it the family’s spirit beast?”

“What do you think, Old Ancestor Longyan?” Wang Shouzhe asked.

Old Ancestor Longyan slightly pondered, “Your grandfather didn’t kill it before because he wanted to see whether this tortoise could be an asset to our family after it matures. There are two main benefits of a turtle class spirit beast: first, they have a gentle character and high loyalty, and second, they have a very long lifespan.”

After pausing, Old Ancestor Longyan added, “But if it becomes a family spirit beast, there comes the ensuing obligation to nurture it. A spirit beast requires significant upkeep every year.”

Considering this, Wang Shouzhe said, “Spirit Tortoise, I’m sure you can understand what I’m implying. If you become our family spirit beast, you can receive a hundred pounds of Spirit Fish Meat every year. If you are sent into battle, there will be extra Spirit Fish for you.”

Unexpectedly, the Water Elemental Turtle refused to entertain Wang Shouzhe and turned its head away.

“Fourth Uncle, we can’t treat a spirit beast like this.” Wang Licui came running back, cradling Little Tiger Huahua, “Let me give it a try.”

That might work.

Wang Shouzhe felt that she had a knack for dealing with animals.

Maybe his tone was too stern and lacked approachability. It’s better to let Lici give it a try. After all, a girl is supposed to be gentler?

Wang Licui walked around the Water Elemental Turtle once, then said sternly, “Listen, Turtle, there are two paths for you. Either behave yourself and become our Wang family’s spirit beast and live comfortably with your annual sustenance.”

“Or, I’ll let Fourth Uncle tear you apart. I, Wang Licui, have never eaten a spirit turtle before. Stewing this leg, steaming that leg, turning this one into a soup, leaving that one for a barbecue, why is this leg so small? Hmm, let’s stir-fry this one…”

Little girl, I only have four legs; how did you count a fifth one?

The Water Elemental Turtle was utterly terrified.

It understood that the human girl was not joking.

She really wanted to eat him.

In fear, the Tortoise quickly nodded, indicating it was willing to become the family spirit beast, as long as it could occasionally eat the grilled fish it had tasted before.

“You can have the grilled fish, but only if you behave well,” Wang Licui coldly threatened, “Behave, and you’ll have everything. Otherwise, you know what’s coming…”

Understood, understood!

The Water Elemental Turtle frantically nodded.

“Fourth Uncle, flip it over,” Wang Licui casually instructed.

Wang Shouzhe raised an eyebrow but still turned the Water Elemental Turtle over accordingly. This huge creature was actually quite heavy, probably weighing about a thousand pounds. “Little Miss, aren’t you afraid it will take the chance to escape?” he asked.

Once the Water Elemental Turtle had all his feet on the ground, it felt a great sense of security. Retracting its limbs and lifting its tail, elongating its neck in relaxation. Hearing the word ‘escape’,” its eyes lit up, seemingly lost in thought.

“Run? Ha, I’d love to see it run. Zhuwei Lake only has tens of thousands of acres. Where can it go?” Wang Licui spoke nonchalantly, “If it tries to run, we can kill it and eat it. It weighs a thousand pounds, enough for us to feast on for some time. The shell can be used to make Turtle Jelly, which is great for cleansing and detoxing in the summer while also being beneficial for the complexion.”

The Water Elemental Turtle immediately retracted its head. How could such a young human girl be so ruthless? She not only wanted to eat its meat but also planned to use its shell!

The tortoise then swayed its way to the bank.

Wang Shouzhe and Wang Xiaohan turned their attention to Wang Licui. Since they had trusted her with this task, they would let her take the lead.

Wang Licui waved her hands, signaling that there was no need to worry.

As expected, when the Water Elemental Turtle reached the shore, it did not leave the lake; instead, it sniffed around the remnants of the ice and gathered the leftover grilled Spirit Fish Meat. It then started leisurely enjoying its meal by the shore.

Seeing this relaxed behavior, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but chuckle. This Water Elemental Turtle was indeed quite chill. It had just been caught and became a family spirit beast, but seemed to have already put all its worries behind and began enjoying its life as a turtle.
