I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

"what is this?"

Bai Qingyao was shocked!

(●'?7?0'●)

The system suddenly froze.

[! ! ! ! ]

[When it rains, it pours. Host, what good luck do you have?]

Bai Qing slowly hit six points above his head.

Is this good or bad?

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a super rare marine creature, a 1000-year-old mythical hawksbill turtle. Points earned: .]

Bai Qingyao: ???

!!!

Take less?

One thousand points!

If that's the case, how much seafood would she have to catch... the number is so huge, I can't even imagine...

Bai Qingyao's gaze slowly fell on the 'turtle' in front of her.

Is this a mythical beast? A hawksbill turtle?

Even lived for a thousand years?

Why is it so mysterious?

I saw that...um,玳瑁 turned his head in confusion, and a pair of vicissitudes of life eyes fell on her.

"..."

Both sides looked at each other, speechless.

The hawksbill turtle still had the bait it had just snatched from the sea in its mouth. Not long after it started eating, it suddenly felt its body lighten. Then, it felt dizzy, and the whole person... no, the whole turtle fell to the ground.

As soon as it raised its head, it met Bai Qingyao's shocked gaze.

Under her shocked gaze, the hawksbill turtle swallowed the bait in its mouth in two or three gulps.

"Hiccup~"

"you……"

Bai Qingyao had just said a word when she saw the tortoise shell in front of her open its mouth.

"Hello, little girl."

Bai Qingyao:!

How can it still speak?

Did they really catch a thousand-year-old monster?

[Host, don't be shocked. Theoretically speaking, the hawksbill turtle is a mythical beast, so it's not surprising that it can speak.]

Besides, after the system mall is opened, you can communicate with various systems and there will be elixirs from the world of cultivation. There is nothing shocking about a talking turtle.

So what to do now?

Put it back in the sea?

"Sorry, I brought... uh, your catch... up here. You can leave anytime."

The tortoise shell looked at her with its weathered eyes, its mouth opening and closing.

"Hey, little girl, I was attracted here by your delicious food. Do you still have it?"

It was not that it didn't see the hook on the food, but the food tasted so delicious that after some hesitation, it took the initiative to bite the hook.

Bai Qingyao didn't expect that Daimao would ask about the bait right away, so she nodded.

"There are still some, but not many."

She took out another part, not all of it, and placed it in front of玳瑁.

Smelling the fragrance emanating from the bait, the hawksbill turtle's eyes were full of satisfaction.

As soon as Bai Qingyao took it out, it couldn't wait to take a big bite.

There were only 50 grams of bait originally, and now 20 grams were taken out. The hawksbill turtle took one bite and ate most of it.

Bai Qingyao collected the remaining bait, as she had other uses for it.

These baits were not in bulk, but in pellets, each pellet weighing only about one gram. She gave the hawksbill turtle twenty grams, and with the ones she had just used, she only had about twenty grams left in her hand.

Seeing that most of the bait in front of him was gone, the hawksbill turtle's eyes were full of heartache.

This is too little, not enough to fill the gaps between teeth.

"Is that all?"

Bai Qingyao: ...

[Host, host, you must find a way to keep the hawksbill turtle. It's a mythical creature. If you have its intimidating power, your chances of catching rare marine life in the future will be much greater.]

Hearing this, a faint light flashed in Bai Qingyao's eyes, and she lowered her eyes to look at the tortoise shell in front of her.

"Old...Senior, although I don't have much on me now, I will have more in the future. Would you like to stay here?"

When Daimao heard this, his vicissitudes of life eyes turned. Of course, he wanted to eat this kind of delicacy every day, but...

Seeing that it was still silent, Bai Qingyao continued, "I believe you know the benefits of these baits."

After saying this, Bai Qingyao continued, "Also, I want to buy the island over there later. You can live freely there, and you don't have to worry about your freedom of movement."

Looking in the direction Bai Qingyao pointed, a faint light flashed in Daimao's weathered eyes.

That little island...

"Can I take my little grandson with me?"

"of course can."

I just didn't know that this senior Daimao actually has a little grandson.

They are all divine beasts, so they shouldn’t be too different.

"But, Senior, I haven't saved enough money yet. It will take some time before I can buy that...island over there."

Bai Qingyao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. She was good at making big promises, but now this big promise was for herself.

Ugh……

A hint of doubt flashed in Daimao's eyes, as if wondering what the question was. Bai Qingyao quickly explained, "Senior, it's like this. In the human world, if you want the right to live in a place, you need to buy it with money..."

"No need to say it, I know."

"I just didn't expect it to be such a small thing," said the hawk.

...small matter?

Bai Qingyao was stunned. Before she could react, she heard Daimao say, "Little girl, wait for me."

'thump--'

There was a splash and the hawksbill turtle jumped directly off the boat. Bai Qingyao was stunned by the noise. Before she could say anything, the hawksbill turtle had disappeared.

After waiting for a few minutes, ripples appeared on the sea surface, and then the hawksbill turtle that had originally left was seen reappearing from the sea, and then leaning upwards, a box emerged from its back, and a small head.

It is very similar to the hawksbill turtle in front of it, and you can tell at a glance that this is the little grandson in its mouth!

"Senior, this is..."

Looking at the box on the deck, there was still some rust on it.

"I found these on the seabed. You're short of money, aren't you? Consider them a thank you gift for the delicious food."

Bai Qingyao was stunned, took a step forward and opened the box.

After seeing what was inside, she opened her mouth in shock. There was nothing else in it, but gold, silver and treasures!

There's even a lot of gold...

She couldn't imagine that these things... were actually given to her by a... um, a turtle?

"No, Senior, I can't take this."

"Take it. Your bait is much more valuable than these. Besides, I don't need these things."

This was not false. He had eaten those baits and actually felt a faint vitality in them. He had lived for thousands of years, and the past was like a cloud of smoke to him. Only the vitality made him unable to avoid the temptation.

Bai Qingyao didn't know how important it was to it, but it knew it.

Moreover, it lives in the sea and has no use for these things.

"Is this enough? Not enough lake..."

"Outlined..."

These are enough to buy the island.

[Host, host, you can actually accept it. That hawksbill turtle has lived for a thousand years. The bait makes it feel alive. This thing has a fatal attraction to it.]
