The Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle: What kind of people are these, going to such lengths to capture me just to eat me? As a spirit beast of Bronze rank, my intelligence is no less than a human's.
The spirit turtle thought and then tried to emanate its aura, hoping to intimidate the Lin family. 'I haven't offended anyone, yet even a little girl wants to stew me. This is too much disregard for turtle rights.'
The Lin family felt the faint pressure in the air. Mother Lin immediately shielded her daughter in her arms, then raised her own aura, a powerful Golden might pressing down on the Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle.
Fortunately, Ouyang Xinlan knew this was the contracted beast her son desired, so she didn't use her full strength. Otherwise, with her Golden High rank strength, she could have easily crushed the Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle with just her pressure.
Lin Shanhe knew this was a good opportunity for Lin Zhan to contract the Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle. He raised his Diamond peak aura to surround the Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle.
Although Lin Shanhe's meridians were injured and he could only exert Silver rank strength, his Diamond peak spiritual power remained. His aura was still Diamond peak. Furthermore, Lin Shanhe had killed countless powerful beings from various races, and his killing intent was terrifying.

Lin Zhan summoned Xiao Jin and communicated with it mentally, "Xiao Jin, see what you think of this guy. It dared to try and intimidate our family, only to be subdued by Mom and Dad's pressure."
"Uncle Shanhe is mighty, Aunt Ouyang is mighty." As a model spirit pet of the new era, Xiao Jin naturally knew the importance of flattery and immediately swam to Lin Shanhe and Ouyang Xinlan, nuzzling them with its head.
"Xiao Jin has grown so much. It seems its bloodline has become even stronger. It looks like both Xiao Jin and Zhan'er have been working hard and not slacking off," Ouyang Xinlan said, stroking Xiao Jin's large head.
The Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle saw a fellow spirit beast suddenly appear. It noticed that this fellow seemed to be getting along well with this family. So, it looked at Xiao Jin with a pleading gaze.
'Brother Snake, save me! Help this turtle. This family wants to stew me.'
Hearing the Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle's plea, Xiao Jin gave Lin Zhan a look.
Lin Zhan took out the Dragon Scale Treasure Saber his father had given him and said to Xiao Jin, "Brother, we're stewing this spirit turtle tonight. This Bronze High rank spirit turtle will be very beneficial to both of us and my sister. We've both been working hard with our training lately, so let's replenish our bodies with it.
This saber was forged from the sword bone of a Diamond rank Ridgeback Sword Dragon that my father killed. Using it to kill this spirit turtle, it won't be able to escape even if it hides its head in its shell."
The Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle immediately panicked upon hearing this. "Holy crap, they killed a Diamond rank Sword Dragon so easily, let alone a Bronze scrub like me."
"Brother Snake, please say something for your brother. I'll listen to you from now on. I beg you to lend a hand and save this turtle's life."
Seeing that the Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle had completely caved, Xiao Jin said to it, "My dear brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but as you can see, this family are all fierce individuals. Moreover, my big brother insists on eating you to replenish his strength. I don't have many options to save you. Unless..."
"Unless what, Brother Snake? Just tell me. As long as I can keep my life, I'll do whatever you say," the Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle said anxiously.
"My boss is a beast tamer, and he has secret treasures and secret techniques. He can also enhance spirit pets' bloodlines.
You've seen the strength of this family. To be honest, my boss's family has lords overseeing them, and more than one at that. Considering such power, do you think they lack resources?
Other beast tamers would spend hundreds of thousands to buy you, surely with the intention of taking you as a spirit pet. But do you see my boss having any such intention? He bought you to stew you.
If all else fails, I'll put in a good word for you. You should also be proactive and agree to become my boss's spirit pet. That way, you'll be safe and have a backer in the martial world from now on."
Xiao Jin fully inherited Lin Da Huiyou's (a master of deception) skills and managed to befuddle the foolish turtle.
"I agree, Brother Snake. Talk to the boss for me. I agree to become a spirit pet." The Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle couldn't help but secretly rejoice. This time, its life would be spared.
Xiao Jin turned to Lin Zhan and said, "Boss, this big black turtle's bloodline is decent. It also knows its place. It would be a shame to eat it. Take it as a spirit pet and let it conquer the world with us in the future."
"Since Xiao Jin is pleading for this turtle, I naturally have to give it face. But I still have to ask if it agrees. If not, we'll stew it for soup," Lin Zhan said in mock seriousness.
Upon hearing this, the Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle realized he was still thinking of stewing him. It bypassed Xiao Jin and used its spiritual power to transmit a message to Lin Zhan.
"Boss, I agree! I agree to join! From now on, when expanding our territory, I'll follow your lead, fighting in front and covering your back."
Lin Zhan saw that it was truly desperate, even using martial world slang. This was indeed a street-smart turtle.
"System, contract the Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle as a spirit pet. Name it Xiao Hei."
"Ding, contract successful. Congratulations to the host for successfully contracting the second spirit pet."
Spirit Pet: Xiao Hei (Male)
Species: Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle
Abilities: Xuan Shui Spirit, Turtle Shell Defense (unique turtle skill, high-strength defensive ability), Turtle Claw Heavy Strike, Xuan Shui Spirit Blood (can accelerate self-healing, and can also be used on humans and spirit beasts.)
Rank: Bronze High, possesses Black Tortoise bloodline (thin, can be improved)
Constitution: 80 (30) points
Defense Strength: 120 (30) points
"Since we're family now, big brother will give you something to enhance your bloodline. I'll send you to the spirit beast space to improve later."
After speaking, he took out a low-grade bloodline enhancement pill obtained from the sign-in and a wisp of Black Tortoise essence blood, feeding them to Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei, seeing these good things, exclaimed, "My boss is truly powerful. I'm about to reach the pinnacle of my turtle life, I've struck it rich!" With that, Lin Zhan put it into the spirit beast space for improvement.
"System, accelerate Xiao Hei's evolution."
"Deducting 10,000 evolution points. Host has 90,000 evolution points remaining. Time required: 72 hours.
As spirit pet Xiao Hei is absorbing the Black Tortoise essence blood, the minimum time cannot be less than 72 hours."
"Where did the big turtle go? Brother, aren't we eating big turtle tonight?" Lin Ya'er asked Lin Zhan regretfully.
He dotingly picked up his sister. "Ya'er, be good. The big turtle is brother's spirit pet, so we can't eat it. Brother will buy you something delicious. Ya'er, try this."
Lin Zhan picked a Snowberry and put it into his sister's mouth.
"It's so cold! So sweet! This is delicious!" Ya'er giggled happily.
"Mom, you try it too. Tomorrow, bury some beast cores with these camellias and Snowberries. This will extend the flowering and fruiting period for a long time, so Ya'er can eat more."
"Alright, you just spoil her. Mom will cook, and you'll stay for the night."
After saying that, Lin Zhan went to the living room and talked to his father about applying to a高级武道学院 (Advanced Martial Arts Academy).
"With your current strength, you will definitely get in. I've heard that the traitors from the Ten Thousand Races Church have been a bit rampant lately.
It's good for you to gain some experience early. With the guidance of experts from the Martial Dao Bureau, the risk is much lower. Consider it your first real battle. Let your hands get stained with blood. Lin family members are born to conquer battlefields."
