The sage was determined to die.

The old tortoise opened its eyes again.

The young man standing in front of him was quite strange. The other man was looking down at him and was handsome with clear eyes. At first glance, one would feel that this person had a very kind face.

...Then his limited brain gradually recalled various memories about this person.

Fireworks burst forth from the old tortoise's head, which was the size of a walnut kernel.

!!!

He actually dared to come.

Seeing that he was awake, the young man in front of him looked curious and apologetic, and blurted out, "Drinking more hot water really works."

The old tortoise instinctively let out an "Ah!" because this puppet body had died too many times, and its face had completely turned into a tortoise shape.

It wasn't just his body that was transformed into a demon, but also his mental abilities.

He didn't realize that his reaction was significantly slow.

Ji Bai was putting on a show, completely soaked. He pointed to the river beside him and said, "I saw you weren't moving, so I dragged you up here, thinking that feeding you some water might save you. Luckily, you woke up."

"The book says to drink more hot water," Ji Bai affirmed. "It really does help."

Old tortoise: "..."

Is this guy crazy?

"But it's so good that you're awake."

The young man looked somewhat guilty, but it was actually an overacted expression. He sighed and lowered his head: "I thought I was the one who hurt you."

If it were the old tortoise from before, he would definitely think this person was pretending to be stupid.

However, his thinking ability is really poor right now, and he can only think that the other party is really stupid.

The idiot even pulled out a pale yellow crystal, hanging it like a carrot in front of him, which the turtle instinctively longed for, but was forced to stop by the painful memories of being carved by knives and axes.

"Is this what you want?"

A naive voice rang in his ears as someone held the fragment of Wenxin and asked, "Lots of people want this. Is there anything special about it?"

"You...you don't know?"

The old tortoise, who hadn't spoken human language in a long time, spoke in a rough voice, "Don't you know what this is?"

"Perhaps it's a fragment of literary thought?"

To his surprise, the other party wasn't entirely a fool.

These words rang out like thunder, but the other person's face remained expressionless. He was either a madman or a clever madman.

"Actually, I've always wanted to have a long-lived pet."

After saying this, the young man even gently patted his head, causing goosebumps to rise on the puppet's body for no reason.

"If you'd like to be my pet, I'll give it to you, how about that?" the young man even tried to negotiate with him.

The old tortoise, after all, wasn't a real tortoise. Upon hearing this, he became inexplicably angry and retorted sarcastically, "You're the first to dare humiliate me like this."

Upon hearing this, the man who was putting the crystal around his neck paused, and the moment the crystal touched his neck, the old tortoise was electrocuted and convulsed uncontrollably.

The huge tortoise shell flapped, and Ji Bai looked greatly shocked, seemingly unintentionally withdrawing his hand.

The trembling of the turtle's body finally stopped the next second. He tried to speak, but the electric shock made it impossible for him to utter a sound.

"Good...good..." How vicious, he thought to himself.

When Ji Bai heard him say yes, he was very excited and put the crystal back around the old tortoise's neck. The old tortoise was too heavy to dodge it.

This time, however, the pain disappeared.
