Chapter 3: Does a Dog Servant Dare to Provocatively Challenge?

I said, "Xiao Guizi, how is it that you were born able to speak? I have read many ancient texts, yet I have never come across any beast that is born able to talk"

Shangguan Yu, being bold, set aside the fear in her heart and walked over to the side of the little turtle

Lu Hong was intimidated by Shangguan Yu's imposing presence and immediately took a step back. When he regained his composure, his aged face turned crimson with anger; this was truly a tremendous embarrassment. Lu Hong felt surrounded by disdainful gazes, certain that the servants around him looked down on him.

The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, yet it is merely close to dusk

From its various extraordinary traits, it is evident that this turtle is indeed remarkable. However, it is precisely this perception that leads one to believe that this turtle does not possess any particularly impressive qualities.

The little turtle chattered incessantly, and Shangguan Yu looked at the turtle in astonishment. Shaking his head, as if recalling something terrifying, he suddenly threw the little turtle away

Shangguan Yu glanced in the direction of Xiao Guizi and then turned to leave

Uncertain of the reason, Shangguan Yu, who possesses memories of a past life, finds himself in the body of a six-year-old child, exhibiting the characteristics of a six-year-old. He has noticed this himself, yet he does not pay it much mind, as it is not of great importance.

What is the name of that divine turtle

Shangguan Yu finally turned around, his cold and merciless gaze fixed on Lu Hong, his voice laced with overwhelming fury, "Some words should not be spoken carelessly, or you won't even know how you died!"

Here, this is the seasoning

Time returns to the present

Calling him back in such a hurry must mean there are many heavy tasks assigned to him. Usually, Shangguan Yu would think of Shangguan Jinghong's kindness and do a bit here and there. However, this Lu Hong has always gone too far, relying on having grown up with Shangguan Jinghong, often doing things that are quite unreasonable.

The enticing aroma penetrated their noses, enticing their appetites... They all deeply felt that each other was a foodie, so...

... ...

Then let's be friends, may I give you a name

I don't know about this... I haven't been given a name yet! I've been living alone since I was little!

Shangguan Yu caught the little turtle in his hand and examined it closely. This turtle had a blue-yellow shell adorned with intricate patterns, exuding an aura of profound mystery

He shook his head, interrupting these daydreams. Shangguan Yu skillfully scaled the fish, cleaned the entrails, and then placed it over the fire to roast.

Shangguan Yu looked at the turtle in astonishment, "Aren't you a turtle? How can you speak? Are you a monster? Or a divine beast?"

"No problem, I've thought it through. You are Little Turtle, so from now on, you shall be called Little Guizi!" Shangguan Yuchun was purely driven by a sense of mischief

Shangguan Yu, driven by curiosity, also knew that asking this confused little turtle would yield no answers at all

Indeed, as Shangguan Yu just walked through the door, "So you finally know to come back? There is still a lot of water to fetch and firewood to chop, hurry up and get to it! Otherwise, don't expect to have dinner tonight!"

It is truly amusing to think about it now; the Great Emperor is a figure of supreme realm, capable of intimidating all existence. The life and death of all beings are but a thought away for the Great Emperor. Kangxi was formidable, yet he did not possess such power. Only in the past, when one was unaware of the true nature of things, could one so confidently proclaim Kangxi as the greatest emperor of all time.

Alright, I will call you Xiao Guizi from now on. Please give me a few more fish!

And the books, hey... do you really think of yourself as a young master? When I tell you to go, you should go quickly; otherwise, you will suffer the consequences!

"A thousand-year-old tortoise and a ten-thousand-year-old turtle, how many years have you lived?"

Little Gui Zi is a turtle the size of a fist, having lived in this mysterious river since childhood. A person and a turtle met six years ago.

A person and a turtle are both intently focused on the grilled fish, one is ready to add seasoning at the most opportune moment, while the other is prepared to eat the fish at the most appropriate time

Hey... you have been unwanted since childhood; if not a bastard, then what are you? You are a bastard; if you are not a bastard, who is? If it weren't for the kind heart of the master, I would have long since dealt with you, this little bastard! You waste the food of the Shangguan family, doing nothing at all, and we have raised you for nothing!

Do not be deceived by my tall stature; in fact, I am still quite young

Shangguan Yu even felt that the little turtle's gaze had dimmed, sensing a kind of loneliness emanating from it, a unique kind of loneliness.

On that day, Shangguan Yu was bullied by the servants in the mansion. At just six years old, Shangguan Yu was unable to resist and was beaten, leaving him covered in injuries. He stumbled out of the Shangguan residence and walked in a daze to the riverbank

Puff!

By the way, I feel that I will soon be able to leave this river, and when that time comes, I want to venture into the world with Xiaoyu

In his previous life, he read many novels and knew that not only can monsters speak, but divine beasts can also speak

What are you thinking? This turtle was born able to speak, and it is said that this turtle has the best bloodline of all the turtles on the continent

Lu Hong unleashed a scathing reprimand, venting his pent-up dissatisfaction. It was well known among the members of the Shangguan family that Shangguan Yu was unable to cultivate. As a soldier from the ranks, how could he possibly be afraid of such a child

Cough, cough, fortunately wwwhetushu.com has an invincible shell, otherwise I would have been killed by you, you little brat

One person and one turtle have been together for six years, and their bond is undeniably deep. Moreover, both parties are without parents, and they are both downtrodden in this world; of course, Xiao Guizi is the turtle

Shangguan Yu felt that his head was not big enough, just the size of a fist, yet he could still be called tall? "Then what breed of turtle are you?"

The little turtle shook its head, pondering within. According to the inherited memories in its mind, emperors are figures of extraordinary dominance over the world. It does not know who Emperor Kangxi is, but throughout history, the greatest emperor is undoubtedly unparalleled in both ancient and modern times

Shangguan Yu tiptoed lightly towards the little turtle, "You fish thief, I've caught you this time, haven't I?"

Xiao Guizi's greatest skill is catching fish. He claims to possess a special talent—an extraordinary ability—that can render fish immobile for a short period. Moreover, with those small claws, he can throw the fish quite far.

"Stop right there, you little bastard! Don't think for a moment that you are truly one of the Shangguan family; you are just a bastard! The master took you in out of pity, so don't really consider yourself the young master of the Shangguan family!"

In a past life, I particularly admired Wei Xiaobao, but now it is truly unfortunate that Wei Xiaobao has become the name of a turtle. I sincerely apologize to Lord Wei, and all I can do is express my regrets to him.

Shangguan Yu dragged his weary body towards the riverbank. His clothes were tattered, even worse than those of a beggar. Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance and had left some clean clothes here.

The little turtle shook its head and said, "No way, unless you continue to feed me fish like this in the future, otherwise I won't do it!"

As the flames rose, Shangguan Yu felt that there was too little firewood, so he went to look for some in the distance. Unexpectedly, when he returned, he saw a small turtle, and astonishingly, the turtle was eating grilled fish.

Little Gui Zi climbed towards the silver long river, where is the turtle's speed? If the turtle in the race between the tortoise and the hare were Little Gui Zi, then even if the hare did not sleep, it would still be impossible to win.

Little Gui, I must go home now, you should go back as well

Well, alright, Xiaoyu, you can go back now. Just remember to come tomorrow and make grilled fish for me to eat

Now Shangguan Yu was also happy, as Xiao Guizi had always been unable to leave this river. Unexpectedly, after a while, he would be able to leave this place, and by then he could take Xiao Guizi with him every day

Shangguan Yu cast a faint glance at Lu Hong and said, "Behave yourself as a dog of the Shangguan family, recognize your own identity, and do not think of yourself as some important figure! Open your eyes wide and do not point fingers at everyone!" Shangguan Yu continued walking into the residence, completely ignoring the servant.

This is the divine turtle of great benevolence, great compassion, great virtue, great majesty, great wisdom, and great courage

Little Guizi jumped into the river, "Of course, barbecuing is also fine!"

At that time, Shangguan Yu was hungry and prepared to gather materials on the spot, catching two fish from the river to roast and eat. No seasoning was needed; it was sufficient to cook them thoroughly.

Little Gui, wait a moment, I will take a shower and be right back

Oh, young master, you have returned! You have nearly driven this servant to despair

Thus, the friendship between Shangguan Yu and Xiao Guizi was established

With many subordinates watching, Lu Hong felt utterly humiliated. If he could not even handle a twelve-year-old child today, he would truly be unable to survive in Feiyu City in the future

Little Gui? How unpleasant that sounds, it seems to fail to reflect my uniqueness, doesn't it

Shangguan Yu emerged from the river, dressed in a clean outfit. Upon seeing Xiao Guizi, she couldn't help but smile inwardly

One person, one turtle, without a word, they directly began to eat. Shangguan Yu held one fish in one hand, while Xiao Guizi pounced directly on the two fish.

I also do not know; in any case, once memory begins, I will understand your human language

The little turtle cautiously extended its head and said, "Little brat, are you not going to put me down? Do you not know that humans scare turtles? Are you trying to frighten me to death? If you were to scare the greatest turtle in the Tianxuan Continent to death, would you be able to bear the responsibility?"

At that moment, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, wondering what kind of turtle this was. Isn't it too shocking

Shangguan Yu heard the unpleasant sound from a distance; it was so jarring. He knew that this servant was certainly not concerned about him. From the sound, he could tell it was Lu Hong, the servant who most enjoyed bullying him.

For six years, Xiao Guizi's body has not grown, and he has no idea where all those fish have gone. Even now, he cannot comprehend how such a small body could consume two fish. It is akin to asking a person to eat two whole cows in one sitting; one must wonder who could possibly manage that

In the past, Xiao Guizi had never eaten grilled fish; upon trying it for the first time, he found it particularly delicious. Later, after adding seasonings, it became even more exquisite. Subsequently, Shangguan Yu added a great deal of seasonings here.

Well, Shangguan Yu has indeed succumbed to this little turtle, clearly boasting, yet still able to speak so confidently.

Do you not know? Xiao Guizi is a favored person beside Emperor Kangxi. Not to mention that Xiao Guizi can turn the tide at will, nor that he can marry seven beautiful wives. Just consider Emperor Kangxi, the greatest emperor throughout history! Does he not deserve you?

Shangguan Yu did not even glance at Lu Hong and said, "I am tired today; you can find someone else to do it, or you can do it yourself if you prefer"
