The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

The god of the Shelong River looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and the more he looked, the more doubts he felt in his heart.

The little girl has a stunning appearance and exudes an extraordinary aura. She looks different from ordinary people.

But after the old turtle used his spiritual power to investigate again and again, he did not find any spiritual power in the little girl.

But when she sank to the bottom of the river, there were clearly nine-colored bubbles protecting her. This lady is truly a mystery.

Hua Chao raised his eyes and saw the old river god looking at him with confusion. He knew that this old monster was already doubting his true identity.

She understood that when she heard what the thousand-year-old fox demon had done, she was also angry and wanted to seek justice for the Shelong River water tribe.

That thousand-year-old fox demon is really abominable, and we really should settle accounts with that old monster.

But he is now a mortal being, and cannot deal with half-demon monsters like the tiger monster.

I just escaped from the Yin-Yang Fox Demon. If I let that old demon know that I'm still alive, how could it let me go? It would definitely catch me and take me to its fox cave again.

Ling Mi and I had just had a few days of comfortable life together, and now there was Xiao Maomao by my side, so it needed my care even more. If something happened to me, Xiao Maomao would have no hope of survival.

When it comes to dealing with fox demons, it’s better to let the old guy, the Emperor of Heaven, do it. It’s his fault for turning a blind eye and allowing these demons to do whatever they want.

I was soft-hearted and saved Xiaohong, but in the end Xiaohong couldn't even become a ghost because of me.

Come to think of it, if you want to do something good in this world, it may not go as you wish in the end. If Xiaohong hadn't met me.

If I hadn't helped her to send the letter to her family, Xiaohong might have been reborn as a human being now.

Now I can no longer ignore the huge aquatic creatures in the Shelong River like I did before.

I am just a mortal girl and don’t have the ability to save him.

Now Hua Chao just wants to be an ordinary mortal girl, a girl who finds her benefactor Yang Shilin and repays him with her tenderness.

It is beyond the capability of a little girl like her to manage such a huge Shelong River.

Thinking of this, Hua Chao took a deep breath and gently exhaled some of the anger in his heart into the Shelong River.

"Old Immortal, I didn't expect there are so many terrible things in the Xilong River. It sounds so scary! This place is completely different from what I heard from the elders! I am so scared! Please send me to shore quickly."

The old turtle river god was stunned: "Uh... just now I said this little girl was gifted, how come she turned into a timid little girl!"

"I have prepared some small gifts here, I hope you can accept them. You can have some simple food I have prepared, and I will take you ashore right after you finish eating."

Hua Chao had no way to refuse after hearing that, so he could only wait in this simple stone cave river god residence.

After a while, the river god and his wife prepared a table of food which was not very sumptuous but looked very carefully prepared.

The River God and his wife were very enthusiastic, and his little princess liked Hua Chao even more. Although the River God's Mansion was not wealthy now, the little princess, who was dressed simply, was still lovely and a rare little beauty.

After eating, Hua Chao was about to get up and leave, but he saw a tray covered with a red scarf appear in the hand of the River God.

"Miss Hua Chao, this is a small gift from an old man like me. I hope you don't think it's too little."

"This is absolutely not possible. Hua Chao cannot accept it. The old immortal saved my life, and I have no way to repay him. If I accept so much money, it would be too unreasonable."

Hua Chao waved his hands hurriedly and refused to accept these gifts.

The old turtle couple and his daughter knelt on their knees and kowtowed deeply.

"The young lady refused to accept the old man's gift. Maybe she thought it was too little!"

"How can you say that? You are my benefactor, how can Hua Chao complain about you?" Hua Chao hurriedly stepped forward and tried to support the old river god.

Unexpectedly, the river god waved his body and refused the hand extended by Hua Chao.

"We won't get up unless Miss Hua Chao accepts these small gifts."

"Oh! Please get up first and let's discuss this. Isn't it embarrassing for me, old immortal?"

Hua Chao used both hands to try to pull up the old turtle river god.

But his strength was too little and he couldn't pull the old river god at all.

"Well, let's put it this way! I will only accept one thing. If you don't agree with me, then I will have to refuse your kindness."

Hua Chao saw that no matter what he said, the old river god would not get up and just kept asking her to accept the whole plate of gifts.

So I had to settle for the next best thing and just accept a gift as a token of my appreciation.

Seeing that Hua Chao could not be persuaded and was unwilling to accept the gift, Lao Gui knew that the girl could not bear to take her things.

So he took a step back, stood up and picked up a pearl necklace, which was made from the finest pearls from his Shelong River.

It is priceless and a rare treasure in this world.

"Then Miss Hua Chao, please accept this pearl necklace. I will give you a piece of my tortoise shell. When you get ashore, if there is any emergency, you can take out this shell and call out 'old tortoise' three times, and I will appear."

The old turtle's hand magically appeared, and a emerald green tortoise shell suddenly appeared in his palm, with a glittering emerald green glow.

"Ah! This... is such a valuable item, how dare I accept it? Are you trying to embarrass me, old immortal?"

Hua Chao knew that this tortoise shell was extremely precious to a turtle, especially an old turtle that had cultivated into a spirit.

The spiritual energy cultivated by the old turtle is condensed on the tortoise shell, which is extremely precious.

The old turtle frowned, looking a little displeased.

"Miss Hua Chao! I have followed your instructions and will no longer force you to accept our gift. This carapace is something I own, not a treasure from my river. If you still refuse to accept it, then you are looking down on my family, the Long River Clan."

When Hua Chao saw that he refused to accept the tortoise shell, the old river god's face changed drastically and he sighed softly.

"Well... in that case, I will accept the gift from the old immortal, but I have nothing to give you in return. I can only accept it like this, which makes me feel very embarrassed!"

A smile immediately appeared on the old turtle's face, and his pair of green eyes were so curved that you couldn't see anything.

"Okay, okay! This is the best. As long as Miss Hua Chao accepts it, I will be happy."

After saying this, the old turtle made a magic move in his hand and transformed the tortoise shell into an emerald jade bracelet, which he handed to Hua Chao.

"This color matches the pearl necklace perfectly, and the girl won't be too conspicuous when she wears it, so as not to arouse suspicion."

The bracelet floated to Hua Chao's wrist and was put on it in a flash.

The jade-like luster makes Hua Chao's arms look more delicate and white.

"I will take Miss Hua Chao ashore right now. I think your family must be very worried too."

The old river god waved his sleeves, and mist rose from the water. It swirled and rose steadily before disappearing into the stone cave.
