The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 541 We are Destined to Meet

"Who? Who's bullying the little turtle!"

That high-pitched, childish voice carried obvious helplessness and panic, much like a human infant who had been wronged and frightened.

This is a young Soul Turtle!

This discovery took Hua Changxi somewhat by surprise.

She was misled by the Soul Turtle's enormous size, thinking that its strength was unfathomable.

Now it seems that this is clearly a young soul beast that has just gone out to train and has not yet been weaned.

Hua Changxi's tense nerves relaxed involuntarily, and she felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

No wonder she took advantage of the situation so easily just now; this little guy probably hasn't experienced the dangers of the world before.

"Little guy"

As soon as Hua Changxi spoke, the Soul Turtle's enormous head immediately turned to her, looking at her with a silly and cute expression through the crack.

Why are you bullying the little turtle? You're a bad guy!

The Soul Turtle tried hard to put on a stern face, attempting to make itself look fierce, menacing, and terrifying.

But when paired with its childish, soft, and tender voice, it not only lacks any intimidating power, but instead sounds cute and fierce, making people unable to help but laugh.

Hua Changxi's eyes darted around, and after a moment of consideration, she slowly spoke: "I came to this rift to search for traces of the Soul River."

"Originally, I didn't intend to do anything. I just saw that the scenery by the cave was beautiful, and on a whim, I started playing the Soul River Melody."

"Who knew you'd suddenly appear?"

"I see that you are tall and strong, like a fairy mountain in the river. I was thinking that you might be able to carry me into the River of Souls and explore its full extent."

"So I tried using the 'hoops' on you, and who would have thought it would be so effective, hitting you every time."

At this point, Hua Changxi blinked, her gaze burning as she looked directly into the Soul Turtle's eyes: "Tell me, what does this mean?"

The Soul Turtle laboriously turned its not-so-bright head and asked blankly, "What does that mean?"

Hua Changxi's voice suddenly rose, filled with excitement and exhilaration: "It means we are destined to be together!"

"Look, you are as majestic as a sacred mountain, as powerful as a pillar in a river, while I am so insignificant, yet I easily captured you with a single move. What else could this be but a divinely ordained destiny?"

"Uh"

The Soul Turtle was so flattered that it unconsciously raised its head high. It lowered its eyes and looked down at Hua Changxi, who was as small as a grain of sand at the bottom of a river, and deeply agreed with what she had just said.

Hua Changxi keenly sensed the Soul Turtle's smugness and immediately pressed her advantage. She suppressed her smile and adopted an extremely solemn and serious expression, saying:

"Little Turtle, I absolutely, absolutely did not mean to bully you. I was just following the will of Heaven."

"So, I'm not a bad person!" "As for you getting caught in my trap..."

She concluded unequivocally, "That's purely because it was fate."

The Soul Turtle blinked at her and said slowly, "Alright, I'll forgive you as long as you take this nasty thing off my head."

Hua Changxi's smiling face instantly fell: "Little turtle, it's not that I'm unwilling to take it, but... to unlock this soul-locking band, you have to form a contract with me first."

Upon hearing this, the Soul Turtle's previously proud little face fell down.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi immediately switched to a persuasive approach: "Little turtle, think about it, we are so destined to be together, and forming a contract with me is in accordance with the will of Heaven. Aren't you willing?"

As she spoke, she raised the Soul Bamboo Leaf in her hand and gently twirled it between her fingertips: "I can play Soul Ballads."

"Very few people can play this tune; others would love to hear it but never get to."

"As long as you make a contract with me, I can sing for you anytime."

The Soul Turtle, recalling the heavenly music it had heard earlier, was indeed somewhat tempted.

It knows how to form a contract.

Both the turtle parents have their own spirit pets, and they treat their spirit pets very well, feeding and watering them, sometimes even treating them better than the turtles themselves.

The thing on its head made it very uneasy; it felt that if it wore it for too long, its soul would dissipate.

The Soul Turtle couldn't help but think that it would be more reassuring and worry-free to be a Soul Pet.

"I have a big appetite, can you feed me?" The Soul Turtle looked at Hua Changxi with a suspicious expression.

Hua Changxi was taken aback by this response, and after a while, he said, "Of course, I am still very capable, supporting you is no problem."

Having heard the answer he wanted, the Soul Turtle readily agreed: "Alright then, I'll form a contract with you."

Success came too easily, making Hua Changxi feel somewhat unreal. However, despite her dazed state, she quickly condensed the contract seal.

The Soul Turtle offered no resistance; the contract was formed!

"Then I'll be under your care from now on."

The Soul Turtle looked at Hua Changxi with a smile, its little head already filled with delighted daydreams: When we get home, I'll definitely show off to my turtle parents.

Look how capable it is! It's found itself a food provider; its parents can no longer withhold its food. (End of Chapter)
