Don't Provoke the Turtle

Chapter 3 – This Turtle lost

Deep within the Cloud Dream Marsh, on the white sands of an island, a Greedy Wolf opened its gaping maw and snatched a six-meter-long catfish from the marsh waters, swallowing it in just two bites. Licking the bloodstains from its mouth, its dark eyes turned towards Chenfeng Mountain.

"This Little Turtle is asking for a beating," it said with schadenfreude.

"Indeed, it's asking for it," another creature, a large bird resembling a golden eagle with lightning flickering all over its body, responded.

Laughter erupted from all around.

Looking around, the island was home to more than a dozen adult Divine Beasts. The Cloud Dream Dragon King had revealed his true Flood Dragon form to entertain the guests. For demon races to meet guests in their true form was considered the highest etiquette, just as he had greeted Su He and Su Huanian in his true form.

"It's also a childhood memory."

"I'm just worried that this Little Turtle, having just crossed the Tribulation to become a Dragon Turtle, is too proud. Now that he's suffered a loss, he might not be able to save face and could lash out in earnest," a Deer Shu said softly.

Upon closer inspection, the positions of these Divine Beasts were centered around the Deer Shu, with all the beasts coiled around it.

"What's there to fear?" The Greedy Wolf edged closer to the Deer Shu and said, "It's just a game."

It wasn't a real conspiracy against Little Turtle. The older turtles would not care too much if they knew. After all, its own little Greedy Wolf had already opened two layers of heaven and wouldn't suffer a loss. Unless something unexpected happened, this was the only chance for the little wolf cub to beat up the Dragon Turtle. According to the customs of the Dragon Turtle clan, none of them honestly opened a single layer of heaven for ten thousand years. Which one hadn't advanced earlier? It was uncertain when this Little Turtle would catch up to his wolf cub. Perhaps the next time they met, the roles of attacker and defender would be reversed.

The Deer Shu tapped its hooves twice, wanting to distance itself from the Greedy Wolf, but then gave up. If one were to say which clan among the Divine Beasts had the best beastly relations, it would be the Deer Shu. Being close to the Deer Shu could increase the chances of offspring proliferation. It was rumored that the Kylin also had this ability, but... the credibility was not high, as there were only four Kylins in their own clan, even the smallest group among the Divine Beasts. They could only envy those with a single offspring.

The Deer Shu snorted, its mane fluttering in the wind. It always felt that the Greedy Wolf and the Flame Crow were assuming too much, perhaps forgetting what Luo had said on the day Little Turtle crossed the Tribulation.

Luo had claimed that Little Turtle would become a Dragon Turtle within a year—clearly a boast. Without the highest quality Demon Morphing Fruit, it was impossible for a turtle to ascend to the ranks of Dragon Turtle in just one year. But This Turtle was bound to become a Dragon Turtle within a millennium, or even just three to five hundred years. Was such a talented turtle so easy to provoke? It too looked towards Chenfeng Mountain.

...

A group of Divine Beasts charged into Chenfeng Mountain, their Divine Senses spreading out. A dozen Divine Senses collided and surged within Chenfeng Mountain, yet they failed to find any trace of the Dragon Turtle.

"Snow Concealment!" a beast reminded.
