After chasing away the naughty kids, Xu Shenxing held up the turtle and asked curiously, "Is this thing edible? Is it tasty? How do you eat it? "
"You can eat it if you remove its head. It tastes like chicken and is crunchy."
The parrot raised its wings at Xu Shenxing. It probably wanted to give him a thumbs up, but unfortunately, birds don't have thumbs, so it couldn't do such a difficult action.
"This voice … Is it Lord Debater? Don't eat me, I pulled the cable for the treasure ship, I contributed to the Dragon Palace! You can't do this! I want to see Lord Ebishou! "
As soon as it heard the parrot's voice, the turtle struggled to move its oar-like limbs.
"Don't be nervous, they're just joking with you …" The kind-hearted Viola Multicolored Leaf, or rather, the only conscience in the team, couldn't stand it and said to Xu Shenxing, "Stop joking, please put it down."
"Tsk, I can't eat it?" Xu Shenxing put the turtle back on the beach with a look of regret.
— This guy is actually serious!
Even Wu Yejin was scared …
"Dragon Palace Messenger, we have something to ask Her Highness Otohime, but the Dragon Palace has been abandoned. Can you tell us what happened?" When it came to business, the parrot was a lot more serious.
The turtle sighed, then looked at Xu Shenxing and Wu Yejin, and asked in a puzzled tone, "It's a bit complicated … By the way, who are these two?"
"They are my friends. It's okay, they can be trusted. If you have something to say, just say it," the parrot answered without hesitation.
"Okay, since they are Lord Debater's friends, of course I can trust them …"
The turtle turned around and slowly crawled on the ground, "It's a long story, I'll take you directly to Her Highness Otohime."
"Although I feel that you've spent more time climbing than you've said, that's all."
Xu Shenxing shrugged noncommittally. Then, he went up and grabbed the turtle again.
"Hey, hey, you still haven't given up on eating it …" Wu Yejin couldn't help but look embarrassed.
"Of course not! I just don't have the time to wait for it to crawl to Otohime, so I let it show me the way, and I'll take it. "Xu Shenxing responded with dissatisfaction," Don't forget, I'm very good at leading people! "
Hearing him say this, the girl's face turned pale as if she had recalled a nightmare.
"Oh ~ Thank you so much. As expected of Lord Debater's friend, you are indeed very friendly."
The sea turtle, unaware of the impending disaster, swung its limbs and appeared to be very happy.
About ten seconds later.
"In my next life, if only I could still be a tortoise."
Sea Turtle, dead.
— — Dividing line — —
"According to the messenger of Dragon Palace, Otohime should live here."
In front of a small village not far from the sea, Parrot, who had been busy for most of the day, landed on the torch that was used to illuminate the village at night. It was still in an extinguished state, and made a gesture of relief.
"Are you blaming me?" Xu Shenxing shrugged innocently.
"If I don't blame you, then blame me!" Unlike Parrot who had wings to fly and Xu Shenxing who had unlimited physical strength, Wu Yejin was already exhausted after half a day.
Because after the sea turtle woke up, it swore that it would never leave the sea again while muttering 'the land is so scary'. Debater and Wu Yejin tried to persuade it, but it was useless. In the end, they could only ask the sea turtle for the place where Dragon God Otohime lived now, and let them find it themselves.
By the way, after that, the fear of the land was deeply rooted in the sea turtle's heart, and even imprinted on the DNA level, so that in the future, unless the sea turtle reproduced, it would almost never go to the land … So after that, no one had ever come to the Dragon Palace, probably because of this.
Originally, they thought that it would take a lot of effort to find Otohime in the village. Unexpectedly, not long after entering the village, they met the other party who was drying cloth on the drying pole outside the house.
Now, Ubokawa Yuhime was wearing a rough kimono like an ordinary woman. Her beautiful black hair was casually tied into a bun, and she held a wooden bucket full of kunbu in her hand. But even so, her face, which was about 20 years old and without makeup, still had a peerless beauty.
"Who are you?"
Otohime, whose identity was exposed by Parrot, looked at the people with a vigilant look on her face.
"I say, Otohime, can't you even recognize my voice? In the past, I used to sit on a treasure ship and sail on your Amber Creek. "
Parrot greeted the other party quite familiarly.
"Treasure ship, Seven Blessings God? This voice … Could it be Lord Bingcai? "
Otohime thought for a moment and remembered Parrot's identity.
"Yes, it's me." Seeing that the other party recognized him, Parrot couldn't help but be happy: "It's not easy to find you. If it weren't for the fact that the Dragon Palace messenger was being bullied, we wouldn't have known that you came here."
"So that's how it is, is it a turtle …"
Hearing Parrot's words, Otohime understood how the group of people in front of her found her.
At this time, an old voice came from the wooden house behind her.
"Otohime, is there a guest?"
Then, the door curtain like a straw mat was opened, and an old man walked out with a cane.
Because the standard of living in ancient Fusang was not good, like other places in this era, the average lifespan of human beings was very short, about 40 years old. Even the old man in the village before was actually only 50 years old.
But now, the old man in front of Xu Shenxing could be called old even in modern times.
"Taro, why did you come out?" Otohime put the wooden bucket in her hand on the ground and hurried to the old man's side to support him: "Your body is not like before, you have to go back to bed and lie down quickly!"
"Haha, it's okay, I feel much better today than yesterday, even if I come out for a walk, it's no problem." The old man waved his hand and said with a smile.
"No! Wasn't he unable to even walk steadily?! Go back to bed, when you are better, we will go to your favorite seaside to see the sea. "
But the girl was not swayed by the old man's words at all, but like a nurse, she used a gentle but firm tone to persuade the old man to go back to the house.
The two people and the parrot who had witnessed all of this were silent. Even Xu Shenxing frowned – although he was not proficient in curses, he could feel the unusual curse power of the old man.
After Otohime returned to the outside of the house, Parrot asked hesitantly: "Your Highness Otohime … What is going on? That person just now … "
Otohime didn't know how to answer, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.
"He is my husband, Urashima Taro."
