My husband is too wild, I need to go home and find my mom.

Chapter 132 The Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Serpent from the Vast North Sea

Xuan glanced at Ling helplessly, then said to Bai, "But we're both from the same family!"

Bai gritted his teeth and sneered, "You think I'd believe that? Your auras are completely different!"

Xuan looked at Lin Ni with a sincere expression: "Little Lin Ni, I'm so sorry! We should have come to find you sooner, so you wouldn't have lost a partner. I'll make it up to you with myself! Also, since you've beaten us, please don't let Lord Beast God punish us anymore, okay?"

Before Lin Ni could even speak, Bai transformed into a tiger and pounced on him: "Let's fight first and talk later!"

Xuan dodged backward, and a giant tortoise appeared on the spot. Two large white tigers lay on the dark blue tortoise shell, which was more than 30 square meters in size, like tiger cubs going to sleep.

Everyone was bewildered: What happened?

Linni asked in surprise, "Isn't he a snake-beastman? How come he's a giant turtle?"

The giant, mysterious tortoise poked its head out of its shell and said, "I told you that attacking the spirit is equivalent to attacking both of us."

While Xuan was speaking, something unexpected happened: Ling's snake tail actually lashed out at his tortoise head, but it probably missed, because Xuan quickly retracted into his shell: "Ling, don't do anything reckless!"

Ling slapped the tortoise shell, which looked thicker than granite, repeatedly: "I got hit, but you didn't. I'm not happy about that!"

The two white tigers scratched and bit at the tortoise shell, but to no avail. After a long time, they could only return to Lin Ni in vain: "Lin, I can't hit him."

Lin Ni jumped down from Ye's arms and took his hand: "It's okay. You've already performed the ritual, which means you've vented half of my anger. I'll vent the other half myself."

Linni took two steps toward the giant tortoise, then looked up at the snake and tortoise locked in a love-hate relationship. She had always assumed they were two snake-beastmen, but it turned out they were a snake and a tortoise! ​​Wait, a snake and a tortoise, what kind of combination is this? Linni felt she was about to discover a secret and tentatively asked, "Xuan, what kind of beastmen are you?"

Xuan poked his head out of the tortoise shell: "Ling is a snake beastman, and I am a tortoise beastman! We are companion beasts, born from twin eggs. If we mate with a female, the mate mark that appears will be intertwined."

"A snake and a turtle intertwined?" Lin Ni murmured, "Xuan, Ling." She looked up at the green snake coiled around the turtle and shook her head, saying, "No, the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Snake from the vast North Sea... it should be Xuanwu!"

The Black Tortoise of the North!

She recalled the feeling she had when she first saw Ye and the others carving that stone at Shanyuetan. She thought, "Why does this seem so familiar?" The Azure Dragon on the left represents the East, the White Tiger on the right the West, and then there's the Black Tortoise in the North. South... what's south? The Vermilion Bird of the South! That's it, the Vermilion Bird of the South! She abruptly looked up at her companions: Bai is the White Tiger of the West. The bird from the towering cliffs of the South must be Yan. The Vermilion Bird belongs to fire, so is it Yan? Or Yao? Yao's origin is unknown, but judging from his fiery companion mark and his short, golden-red feathered skirt, he's clearly a bird-beastman. Yao and Yan must represent the Vermilion Bird of the South. Then there's the Azure Dragon of the East—Ye's father beast comes from the rainforest of the East, so it can also be said that Ye is from the East. He's a snake-beastman, perhaps still needing to find the opportunity to transform into a dragon. Finally, the Black Tortoise of the North—these two before her? Were these all companions arranged for her by the Beast God?

Xuan and Ling had both returned to human form. Ling was covered in wounds, and her beautiful light green dress was somewhat tattered. Xuan, however, was no longer wearing his snake-skin outfit. Instead, he was wearing dark blue armor that looked like a tortoise shell. This outfit seemed quite out of place with his gentle demeanor. If they swapped clothes, it would suit their personalities better.

Xuan asked Yao with some curiosity, "What is Xiao Linni talking about?"

Everyone was used to Lin Ni suddenly falling into deep thought and usually wouldn't disturb her. Yao smiled and said, "She's thinking."

Lin Ni looked at the several men in front of her and said, "I need some quiet time to think about things." She smiled politely at Xuan and Ling, then turned and went back into the cave.

Ling said from behind, "Little female, please don't complain to the Beast God, considering I'm injured?"

Lin Ni glanced back at him: "That depends on your performance!" Then she turned back to look at him: "So, together you're called Xuanwu (Black Tortoise)?"

Ling was momentarily confused: "What Xuanwu? We are Xuan and Ling."

Lin Ni then asked, "So, are there many companion beasts like you in the vast North Sea?"

Ling shook her head: "Not many, at most there were less than ten pairs, but this generation of companion beasts only has us as the last pair."

Lin Ni couldn't help but think of Bai, who was also the last remaining white tiger.

Xuan walked over and smiled, saying, "Companion beasts are born within the Xuan Turtle Clan. Although we're the only pair right now, who knows when a new companion beast might be born. We turtles have very long lifespans and can share our lifespans with our companion beasts, so we can live a very long time." After saying this, he looked at Lin Ni and said, "Because the longest a female can live is no more than a hundred years, and we've only lived to be two hundred years old, we can still live to be three hundred. So we were planning to find a mate when we were four hundred years old, so we could watch our offspring grow up with her and then die together."

Was this an explanation for Ling's previous reluctance? Hearing this, Lin Ni understood their thoughts: no wonder Ling didn't want to become her partner; she could live for another three hundred years. Becoming a partner too early, watching her partner die of old age, and then living alone for another two hundred years would be quite sad. However, she didn't want to be with them either. Knowing it wasn't because they thought she wasn't good enough for them made her feel much better. Then again, it wasn't surprising that they had reached level nine after living for two hundred years; Feng had only lived for twenty or thirty years. Thinking about it that way, Feng still had reason to be proud. Thinking of this, Lin Ni asked, "So, are there many level nine beastmen in your Vast North Sea?"

Xuan thought for a moment before saying, "Not too many, maybe only thirty or forty in the entire vast North Sea."

This is truly a case of level nine being everywhere and level eight being as common as dogs!

Ling continued, "But the orcs on this cliff are so weak. We've been here for dozens of days and have only seen three level nine orcs."

Night: You have already seen all nine levels of the Ten Thousand Cliff.

Bai couldn't help but ask, "So, do you have any Celestial-Rank Beastmen there?"

Xuan shook his head and said, "There aren't any more for now. The last Celestial Rank beastman has already fallen; that was my father beast. The next Celestial Rank beastman should be us."

Bai: I've already beaten up some future Heavenly Rank beastmen, what should I do if I really want to beat them up again?
