Chapter 262 Give me all the Gengyan Fruits you have.

The old turtle must have spent a lot of time and energy on this performance. If time allowed, he could talk for three days and three nights without stopping. After all, he was too lonely in the sea. He had finally found a few playmates, so he tried his best to fool them.

Hearing the old turtle tearfully accuse the uncle and nephew of some fabricated crimes, Wen Chengjian and Wen Qiyuan spoke up together.

"The old turtle wants to come out with us."

The old tortoise instantly raised its head and puffed out its chest, its eyes shining brightly as it looked at Wen Qilin and his daughter, hoping that the two of them would agree.

Wen Qilin: "Go out? Why?"

Wenwen: "Are you crazy, or are we crazy?"

Old turtle: "What's wrong?"

Wenwen: Suddenly I felt like I was struck by lightning.

What else? You old turtle, don't you have any common sense? You've cultivated for so long, and yet you still have all this time?

What a joke it is that a demon beast living in the spiritually rich Yanqian Mountains wants to go out with them and live in the mortal world.

Do you no longer want to cultivate, or do you want to go to the mortal realm, establish your own territory, become a king, and do evil?

If you go out and harm the people, wouldn't the Wen family become sinners in the eyes of the world? How could they do such a thing?

It's something even a child could not imagine, so how could the old turtle have the nerve to bring it up?

Wenwen glared at the old tortoise without saying a word until the old tortoise took a few steps back, then she blinked.

Sigh, it's tiring to glare at people with fierce eyes. Wenwen changed her tone, "You should give up on this idea. This is unreliable."

The old tortoise got impatient. "Why not? That stupid bird can do it, so why can't I?"

Wenwen: "Silly bird, which one? This one?"

"Are you talking about the nightingale or the eagle?" Wenwen released the nightingale and pointed at it, asking the old turtle.

As soon as Aying came out, she flew into a rage and unleashed a torrent of abuse at the old turtle, "You're the idiot, you old turtle, you ate my Gengyan Fruit, you owe me!"

The old turtle protested, "What do you mean 'your'? It's lived by the pond for hundreds of years, how did it become yours? Have you no shame? Calling you stupid is being kind, you have no shame at all."

"Who are you talking about? Who's shameless? You're the shameless one. You have no status or identity, yet you want to go out with your master. What gives you the right to make this request? What gives you the right? Just because you're old and unsophisticated?"

"Hey! You little bastard, you're making personal attacks and spouting nonsense. If I wanted to kill you, it would be a piece of cake. Don't go too far. What's with all this talk about titles and ranks? What's the point of that?"

For a moment, the tortoise and the bird started arguing as if no one else was around, which can be considered a great spectacle in the world.

Unbeknownst to them, the two men standing on the turtle's back were able to move their arms and legs. The uncle and nephew were not afraid of the old turtle's power at all. They slowly got off the turtle's back and approached Wenwen and her father. The four of them took out four chairs and sat down, eating melon seeds and watching the show.

Unable to win the argument with Ah Ying, the old tortoise softened its stance slightly, asking, "What kind of title or status are you talking about?"

Aying became proud and flew above the old tortoise, looking down at it and saying sarcastically, "Look, the one with the highest cultivation over there is my master. Next to her are her father, second uncle, and eldest brother. There's another second brother outside. They're all family. It's normal for them to go in and out of the mountains together. Helping each other is also necessary. Who are you? What's your relationship with everyone here? Don't say you're a creditor. If you anger my master, he'll chop you up and make soup in no time. Don't you believe me?"

"Hehehe..." The four onlookers lowered their heads, suppressing their laughter.

Aying is right. The moment Aying left the space, she told Wenwen that she sensed something good in the old turtle's lair, and that it would be best to get it without much effort. However, based on her principle of equality, Wenwen thought that it was more important to outsmart the turtle.

Wenwen noticed a fleeting look of confusion in the old turtle's eyes and smiled, "Taking you out isn't impossible, but..."

Aying interrupted her at the right moment, "Master, no! The Gengyan Fruit is all gone, you absolutely can't take it out, absolutely not..."

The old tortoise finally heard a glimmer of possibility, and how could it let this opportunity pass? Ignoring Aying's clamor, it said, "You worthless bird, get out of here, I don't care about you."

The old tortoise walked up to Wenwen and asked, "But what?"

“However, you ate the Gengyan fruit, so it’s gone,” Wenwen pointed out incisively.

"...Actually, it's not that it eats it every time," the old turtle muttered softly.

Everyone present was deaf and could hear its mutterings clearly.

"Listen carefully, there's a story behind this," Wenwen said, putting down the melon seeds. "...Tell me about it."

The old tortoise glanced at the group, who neatly set down their melon seeds. They all looked at it, and the tortoise suddenly became a little shy and embarrassed. "Well, fellow Daoists, please come into the hall for a chat. Let me explain in detail."

Wen Chengjian thought to himself: "It is indeed a palace inside, but it's a bit of a knock-off."

Wenwen greeted him happily, "Father, come on in, come on in and have a cup of tea. You must be exhausted from chasing us all this way."

The old tortoise finally invited everyone inside. Wenwen, with the attitude of "nothing ventured, nothing gained," followed the old tortoise in without hesitation.

The four people, one bird, and one turtle entered the old turtle's palace—an underwater palace several times larger than the cave they had dug. Looking around, there was a lot of stuff piled up in one corner, but what it was was anyone's guess.

After everyone sat down, the old tortoise began to recount his story, starting from the discovery of these Gengyan fruit plants, and continuing to the flowering and fruiting of the plants, a long and detailed account spanning several hundred years.

Wenwen: "According to what you're saying, how many years does it take for the Gengyan fruit to ripen?"

Old tortoise: "More than a hundred years."

Aying: "You ate so much?"

Old turtle: "I've already said, I don't eat it every time."

Aying: "Then why did it eat everything this time? And then it vomited. Master, don't take it out; it's a menace."

The old tortoise snapped, "Shut up, you worthless bird! It's none of your business. The master hasn't said anything, so what right do you have to interfere?"

Aying reacted quickly this time, blushing at the other party, "Why are you calling me master? Shameless! Even the master might not want you, hmph!"

Wenwen has to say that Aying is a very qualified teammate. The two of them, master and servant, work together and can quickly defeat each other. Haha, Geng Yanguo and Aying are worth having!

The old tortoise suddenly became a little hesitant and said, "Um, young fellow Daoist, I've heard that the outside world is very wonderful, and I'd like to go out and see it with you. The two of them said that you can make the decision, is that right?"

Wenwen nodded, "Yes, but are there any benefits to taking you out?"

The old tortoise understood this blatant transaction perfectly and was quite savvy. "Take whatever you want from here."

Wenwen glanced towards the corner of the screen. "Really?"

The old tortoise confidently declared, "Really, take whatever you want."

Then she wouldn't stand on ceremony. Wenwen proposed, "Give me all the Gengyan fruits you have."
