Even though his current wealth is gone, Huai Xu has the ability to earn more.

So, he didn't feel scared at all.

Poor Xiang Qing: "..."

Damn rich people.

"Then you, senior brother, tell me a horror story."

Huai Xu is not a very good storyteller. He has the ability to make any wonderful story sound boring and dry.

However, he did know what the river god might be afraid of.

Huai Xu's expression became complicated for a moment.

He sighed helplessly at first, and then he said to Lianchi: "Today is the day you die."

Almost at the moment when Huai Xu finished speaking, the water in the lotus pond suddenly began to vibrate continuously, and ripples spread out in circles.

In the end, waves appeared on the surface of the pool, as if the water was boiling.

"Crack."

"Quack."

“Quack, quack, quack—”

One, two, then countless toads floated up, almost filling the entire lotus pond.

The noisy sound was so loud that Xiang Qing's ears were about to explode.

Huai Xu looked at the group of croaking toads and felt a little strange. Is this how toads should sound?

Something feels weird.

Xiang Qing couldn't understand: "What kind of horror story is this? If he died, he died."

Hearing Xiang Qing's question, his expression remained unchanged: "Guess why those who seek immortality are usually emperors in the mortal world and great masters who cultivate immortality?"

Xiang Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

And Huai Xu gave the answer to this question the next second.

“Because they have enough, they want to keep it longer.”

Nothing frightens such people more than the fact that their life span is limited.

Isn't the original intention of cultivating immortals to prolong life?

After Xiang Qing reacted, he realized that this had hit the most painful point for the river god.

When Huai Xu and Xiang Qing finished explaining, the noisy toad finally quieted down a little.

Xiang Qing seized the opportunity and immediately said to Toad, "We are Qin Zhen's family. Why did you, Lord River God, give the betrothal gift to the Ye family who forced her to run away from home? Instead of giving it to us?"

"Where's the promised betrothal gift? Where's the marriage certificate?"

"Also, our precious little junior sister is getting married, but you didn't even invite our family members to come and see her? Isn't Lord River God a little too unruly? If she doesn't know the etiquette, how can we still marry this junior sister?"

Upon hearing this, the toad immediately started croaking again.

Very noisy.

But soon, a toad jumped into the lotus pond.

After a while, Huai Xu felt a colder and more vibrant breath of water.

The soil under their feet suddenly turned into lake blue water, and they seemed to be standing on a transparent film, so they did not fall into the water.

Then the lake water swirled and formed a huge transparent bubble.

Only at this time did Huai Xu and the others feel a force of attraction that sucked them into the bubble.

And their figures also disappeared from the lotus pond.

……

"turtle?"

Xiang Qing sat cross-legged in a huge transparent bubble of water, watching from afar a giant turtle swimming slowly towards them.

It is called a bubble, but in fact it is more like a transparent spherical barrier that isolates the lake water outside the barrier.

People can breathe freely and move freely inside, which is quite considerate.

Xiang Qing slowly opened his palm, and inside it was a copper coin.

That was one of the divination tools she was good at.

Used to predict good or bad luck.

"This trip is auspicious."

Looking at the result of the divination, Xiang Qing felt instantly relieved.

It seems that this river god has no hostility towards them for the time being.

Otherwise, he could just sink them directly into the water, and then take advantage of their opportunity to respond to attack.

Maybe, we can catch them off guard.

If her guess is correct, Qin Zhen and the others should be fine.

"Huh." After realizing this, Huai Xu and Xiang Qing both breathed a sigh of relief.

Huai Xu then began to look around leisurely, trying to determine where the lake was.

He even took a closer look at the patterns on the turtle's body.

Well, it was a pattern he had never seen before and it was not very familiar.

I wonder if my junior sister will like this turtle with silver patterns?

Or, how about catching one when you leave?

Huai Xu was just thinking about it when he saw the huge turtle slowly coming over and carrying the bubble they were in on its back.

Its broad limbs paddled in the water, creating waves, and the entire bubble seemed to be stuck to the turtle shell, moving forward with it for a distance.

"Uncle Turtle, your speed is not good enough. Look, the fish next to us are surpassing us."

Although Xiang Qing could swim, he had never ridden in a "turtle car" like this, so he started talking directly.

Uncle Turtle remained unmoved.

Ah, no, it moved, but very slowly.

Its voice seemed to be infinitely stretched, and it slowly replied: "Ha, ha, ha, ha, young, that is, energetic."

"Master, at this speed, can we still make it in time for the feast? Your Lord River God is so inconsiderate. I think we should not get married."

Xiang Qing was rendered speechless by the turtle's devilish, enunciated laughter.

When the old turtle heard this, his whole body trembled.

I don’t know which sentence stimulated it, it even stopped stuttering when speaking.

"In time, in time."

I saw it suddenly retract its head and limbs into its shell, and then it started spinning around madly in place.

Fortunately, the bubble was still firmly on its back and did not rotate with it.

Then--

The vortex it created grew larger and deeper.

"call out!"

Xiang Qing didn't even realize what was happening. He just saw the water around him receding.

Then they were carried along the whirlpool into deeper water.

"?"

Xiang Qing felt a little numb all over. What kind of strange way of moving was this?

Huai Xu's eyes lit up.

"Xiang Qing."

"Ok?"

"Do you think... Junior Sister will like this mount that can accelerate strangely?"

Xiang Qing was stunned for a few seconds, and finally nodded affirmatively: "She likes it."

Huai Xu narrowed his eyes and started to put packing this "turtle car" on the agenda.

With the turtle car's acceleration, Huai Xu and his companions soon arrived at a place that looked like a crystal palace.

The only light at the bottom of the lake was coming through the surface, so it wasn't bright at all.

But that crystal palace seemed to have a layer of soft light filter, emitting a dazzling glow.

Very eye-catching.

Huai Xu's eyes lit up again when he saw the sparkling crystal palace.

Xiang Qing's eyes beside him also lit up.
