Chapter 541: You and I are Fated

"Who? Who is bullying Little Turtle!"

That sharp, childish voice carried obvious helplessness and panic, very much like a human toddler who had been wronged and frightened.

This is a young Soul Turtle!

This discovery made Hua Changxi somewhat stunned.

She had been misled by the Soul Turtle's huge body and thought this Soul Turtle's strength was unfathomable.

Now it seems that this is clearly a young Soul Beast that has just gone out for training and has not yet been weaned.

Hua Changxi's originally tense nerves couldn't help but relax, and a sense of being unable to laugh or cry rose in her heart.

No wonder it was so easily taken advantage of by her just now; this little guy probably hadn't experienced the dangers of the world before this.

"Little guy..."

As Hua Changxi spoke, the Soul Turtle's huge head immediately turned toward her, looking at her stupidly and cutely through the crack.

"Why are you bullying Little Turtle? You are a bad person!"

The Soul Turtle tried hard to straighten its face, trying to make itself look fierce and ferocious.

But coupled with its milky, soft, and childish voice, it not only had no deterrent power but instead appeared milkily fierce, making people unable to help but want to laugh.

Hua Changxi's eyes turned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, she spoke slowly: "I came to this crack to explore the traces of the Soul River."

"Originally, I didn't want to do anything, but seeing the beautiful scenery by the cave, I played the Soul River song on a whim."

"Who knew you would suddenly pop out."

"I saw that your body was burly, like a fairy mountain in the river. I thought, could you carry me into the Soul River to explore the full picture of the Soul River."

"So, I tried to snare you with a hoop, and who would have thought, I would snare you on the first try."

Speaking of this, Hua Changxi blinked and looked directly into the Soul Turtle's eyes with burning heat: "Tell me, what does this mean?"

The Soul Turtle turned its not-so-bright head with effort and asked blankly: "What does it mean?"

Hua Changxi's voice suddenly rose, carrying excitement and exhilaration: "It means you and I are fated!"

"Look, you are as majestic as a fairy mountain, as powerful as a pillar in the river, and I am so small, yet I snared you with a casual throw. If this isn't a fated encounter bestowed by heaven, what else could it be?"

"Uh..."

The Soul Turtle was dizzy from the praise and couldn't help but lift its head high. It lowered its eyes, looking down at Hua Changxi, who was as small as a grain of sand at the bottom of the river, and felt that what she had just said was deeply true.

Hua Changxi keenly captured the Soul Turtle's pride and immediately struck while the iron was hot. She restrained her smile and put on an extremely solemn and serious expression, saying:

"Little Turtle, I absolutely, absolutely did not bully you on purpose; I just followed the arrangements of heaven."

"So, I am not a bad person!"

"As for you being snared by me..."

She concluded decisively: "That is purely because fate has arrived."

The Soul Turtle blinked at her and said slowly: "Fine, as long as you take this bad thing off my head, I will forgive you."

Hua Changxi's face, which had been smiling, instantly collapsed: "Little Turtle, it's not that I don't want to take it off, it's just... to untie this Soul-Locking Hoop, you have to conclude a contract with me first."

Upon hearing this, the Soul Turtle's originally slightly arrogant little face also collapsed.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi immediately started the mode of patient guidance: "Little Turtle, think about it, you and I are so fated, contracting with me is following the arrangements of heaven. Are you really unwilling?"

As she spoke, she raised the soul bamboo leaf in her hand and shook it gently at her fingertips: "I can play the soul ballad, you know."

"Very few people know how to play this tune, and others can't hear it even if they want to."

"As long as you contract with me, I can play it for you anytime in the future."

Thinking of the heavenly music it had heard before, the Soul Turtle was really moved.

Concluding a contract, it knew.

Turtle Dad and Turtle Mom both had their own soul pets, and they treated their soul pets very well, giving them food and drink, and sometimes treating them even better than they treated it.

The thing on its head made it very uneasy, feeling that if it wore it for a long time, its soul would dissipate.

The Soul Turtle couldn't help but feel that it would be safer and more worry-free to be a soul pet.

"I eat a lot, can you afford to raise me?" The Soul Turtle looked at Hua Changxi suspiciously.

Hua Changxi was stunned by this response, and it took a while before she said: "Of course, I am still very capable, raising you is not a problem."

The Soul Turtle heard the answer it wanted and agreed very decisively: "Alright then, I will conclude a contract with you."

The success came too smoothly, making Hua Changxi feel a bit unreal. However, trance was trance, and she quickly condensed the contract seal.

The Soul Turtle did not resist at all, contract formed!

"Then I will be yours to raise from now on."

The Soul Turtle looked at Hua Changxi with a smile, and its little head had already begun to happily imagine: When it returns home, it must show off to Turtle Dad and Turtle Mom.

Look at how capable it is, finding a food owner for itself; from now on, Turtle Dad and Turtle Mom can never deduct its food rations again. ===== CHAPTER 542 =====
