The beloved baby has a space

Ayu turned around and saw a huge head.

Tuanzi didn't let her attack, and she didn't sense any malice from the other party, so she ignored it.

Qin Huai, however, used the large seashell in his hand as a weapon and threw it at the turtle's eyes.

The giant tortoise moved slowly, but closed its eyes quickly.

It had lived for countless years, its skin as hard as stone, and its eyelids were only scratched by a large seashell.

"Do you want some?" Qin Huai was still wary, but A Yu was not afraid and even handed a piece of shell meat to the giant turtle.

The giant tortoise opened its huge mouth and swallowed the whole thing, shell and all.

After finishing eating, he opened his mouth again and asked Ayu for more.

It didn't like Qin Huai very much. When it asked for the food, it deliberately turned around and used its strong front paws to push Qin Huai aside.

Qin Huai wanted to resist, but was stopped by a look from A Yu.

"Don't move, it means no harm."

Qin Huai remained silent: "It probably meant you no harm."

The force with which they pulled him was considerable; if he hadn't dodged, he might have broken his bones.

When Ayu got excited, she simply tucked her trouser legs in and half of herself was submerged in the sea, bending down every now and then to scoop up seashells from the rocks.

The turtle initially ate roasted food, but Qin Huai's roasting speed could not keep up with its eating speed.

Qin Huai wanted to leave some for Ayu and refused to give it all to the giant tortoise.

So a comical scene unfolded on the beach: the boy and the giant turtle would occasionally scramble for the grilled seashells. Just as the boy handed a seashell to Ayu, the giant turtle would suddenly shake its head, bite it, chew it, and swallow it.

The boy said, "Next time, try a different direction." The giant tortoise then changed direction again.

After several rounds, the young man lost more often than he won, which made him so angry that he could no longer maintain his gentlemanly demeanor.

"You beast!" Qin Huai was so angry that he turned around and was about to take out the dagger he carried with him from his waist, wanting to give this reckless sea turtle a good whack.

But the tortoise was no pushover either; its short tail was surprisingly powerful. Taking advantage of the moment Qin Huai turned around, it lashed out at him, causing Qin Huai to stumble.

He almost fell headfirst into the sea, but Ah Yu quickly grabbed him, preventing him from making a fool of himself.

But when he got up, Qin Huai's face was beyond ugly; it looked as if he had seen an enemy.

He rolled up his sleeves even higher, looking as if he was about to fight the giant tortoise.

The guards, who had been watching for a while, couldn't help but ask hesitantly, "Master, do you need our help?"

Qin Huai, with a sour face, said: "No need!"

He wanted to personally confront this uninvited guest!
He actually made such a fool of himself in front of Ayu.

Seeing that he was really angry, Ayu quickly patted his shoulder and adjusted his hair ornament.

She said in a gentle voice, "Alright, Brother Ayou, why are you getting angry with a turtle?"

Inside the space, Tuanzi had long since turned into a trembling ball of light, laughing.

[Hahaha, honey, your fiancé is interesting, so interesting!]

I used to think he was a bit pretentious, but now I realize I was wrong about him; he's clearly just a childish idiot.

Ayu said helplessly, "Luckily, Brother Ayou couldn't hear what you said, otherwise he would have been even more embarrassed."

What's so embarrassing about this? Nobody else saw it anyway.

Perhaps the turtle had truly grown tired of playing and stopped teasing Qin Huai.

After eating a seashell that Ayu gave it, it turned its head and plunged into the sea, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Ayu thought it had left, but to her surprise, the turtle surfaced again a quarter of an hour later.

It was carrying a huge seashell in its mouth, which was even larger than its tortoise claw.

"Wow, such a big seashell! I've never seen one like it before!" Ayu's eyes lit up.

Just then, a group of savages ran onto the beach and, upon seeing the giant turtle, were all too frightened to move.

Only one brave little girl looked up curiously.

Ayu asked, "What are you afraid of?"

The little girl said, "Witch God, that's a giant stonefish that eats people. Don't go near the sea or the rocks."

The giant stone fish the little girl mentioned was what the savages called a turtle. Seeing that the turtle showed no intention of attacking the shaman god, the savages grew bolder.

The Witch God truly lives up to his name; he isn't even afraid of such a terrifying giant stone fish.

Hey, maybe this is the mount of the witch god?

Once they understood this, the fear in the savages' hearts was replaced by more admiration.

They all climbed up from the beach and ran towards Ayu.

The giant tortoise ignored these trembling savages.

It had lived here hundreds of times and seen these lively humans for hundreds of years, but only this time did it taste something different.

It seems that a wise person has finally emerged among these humans.

Yes, just like their turtle family, only one intelligent turtle like it appears every few hundred years.

They can also trade food with humans.

Thinking this, the sea turtle dropped what it was holding in its mouth at Ayu's feet.

Ayu bent down to pick it up: "What is this?"

Qin Huai stepped forward to stop her: "Don't move yet, this seashell is alive, be careful it doesn't pinch your hand."

Those small seashells might only cause a little pain, but this big seashell could probably snap your arm in two.

He took out a dagger and poked at the crack in the large seashell.

The clam, in pain, closed its shell even tighter, making it impossible to insert itself into the gap.

This large seashell is also very peculiar. Unlike other seashells that are a smooth slit, it is wavy, as if it has been twisted by human hands.

Qin Huaicai had already been humiliated by the giant tortoise, and now seeing the large seashell that the tortoise had brought only fueled his anger.

Even the seashells were mocking him.

Red Hare couldn't bear to watch any longer: "Master, let me do it. I've seen this before. People by the sea call it a giant clam. It usually contains sea pearls and is very precious."

Ayu had seen giant clam shells before; such treasures sometimes appeared in the tasks she did.

Because Tuanzi gave Ayu such a huge advantage, Ayu possesses countless treasures, making her so wealthy that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's richer than the entire continent.

She had seen giant clam shells before, but she had never seen the giant clam shell itself that contained the precious pearl.

Red Hare really had a way; he quickly opened the giant clam shell, revealing soft clam meat inside.

There were several round protrusions in the flesh; when you pry them open, you can see several pearls that shimmer with a purplish luster.

Curious, Ayu picked it up and examined it. The pearl was the size of a baby's fist. Upon closer inspection, one could see layers upon layers of patterns inside the pearl, like a meticulously crafted thousand-layered glass.

"It's beautiful," Ayu couldn't help but praise.

Seeing that Ayu liked it, the sea turtle plunged back into the sea and soon brought back another one.

After it finished its catch, it continued to dive down until it caught a giant clam that was even larger than itself.

It was carried there by four sea turtles together; they were clearly struggling and kept slipping down.

The strangest thing is that a large school of fish followed behind the sea turtles, circling around them.

At the same time, the previously exposed sea surface was now quietly filled with seawater.

The tide rose very quickly; places that were dry before were now ankle-deep in the blink of an eye.

"A curse! It's a curse! Run!" The savages erupted in panic and all ran towards the shore.

Red Hare hurriedly said, "Master, the tide is coming in, let's hurry up and go."

Qin Huai had doubts. He had observed that the tide should not be rising at this time in the past.

Without hesitation, he grabbed Ayu and quickly left.

Ayu looked at the four turtles that were still huffing and puffing as they were being carried and said, "You go first, I'll wait a bit longer."

Qin Huai was unwilling to leave Ayu alone, so he let the others leave first.

Red Hare dared not let its two masters be in danger, and hurriedly ordered the others to prepare vines.

If there's no time to escape, the vines can at least pull them back. (End of Chapter)
