All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Of course, attacking was useless. It had just been struck by lightning and had not yet recovered. It was extremely weak and had no time to deal with the situation.

Ye Lingyao quickly used an array to bind it up. The binding array shrank, freezing the turtle in place, unable to move.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, swayed a couple of times, and managed to stand up by holding onto the two swords. Her legs were trembling uncontrollably, and she barely managed to stay upright.

Lin Tanyu and Xue Feng were frantic, but they were trapped in the formation and couldn't get out.

Lin Tanyu was filled with regret. She was so close just now, why didn't she pull the person back? She let her run wild like that.

"Feng Ning! Release us immediately!"

Feng Ning's hands trembled. "I'm sorry, senior sister, my hands are shaking right now. I'll let you out later."

Xue Feng kicked him angrily, "When will you stop being so impulsive? Do you know that can kill people? That's heavenly lightning! It doesn't discriminate."

Feng Ning smiled but didn't say anything.

Mumu, on the other hand, didn't show much emotional change; it was able to understand Feng Ning's thoughts.

She seemed very confident, so he didn't interfere and let her do as she pleased.

As expected, she was very strong; even twenty-four bolts of heavenly lightning only made her look slightly disheveled.

After a short while, Feng Ning felt she could control her hand again, and then raised her hand to activate the formation.

The three of them immediately ran out and helped her up.

Feng Ning turned to the tortoise, "Big tortoise, tell me, why did you come looking for us?"

"Hmph!" The tortoise remained motionless, making it seem like it didn't want to pay her any attention.

Feng Ning kicked the formation. "Tell me, I don't think you want to fight us. What's your purpose? Why don't you tell me and we can discuss it together?"

"Humph!"

"If you hum again, I'll cut your head off."

The tortoise rolled its eyes at her. "You know I'm not here to fight you, so why did you drag me into your tribulation?"

"Who told you not to explain yourself clearly? You're a Golden Core cultivator, I have to make you suffer a little before I can continue talking, right?"

The turtle, unusually, remained silent.

Feng Ning is right.

If Feng Ning and the others hadn't reacted at all from the beginning, it would have chosen to let them become fertilizer for this swamp.

Only now that it has seen their strength will it continue to negotiate.

Then the tortoise said, "I am in the secret realm waiting for a destined person."

Xue Feng and Lin Tanyu subconsciously turned their gazes to Feng Ning, who found their stares rather strange.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm definitely not its destined one. I feel a sense of familiarity when I see Mumu, but I don't react at all when I see it."

Mumu immediately raised her chin arrogantly, "That's right! How can this dead turtle compare to me?"

The turtle grunted angrily.

Xue Feng said impatiently, "Alright, stop humming. Just tell me, what do you want us to do? Help you find that destined person?"

The tortoise glanced at him and said, "No need, I have already found my destined one."

Xue Feng smiled. "You're not going to say that your destined person is among the four of us, are you?"

The tortoise nodded. "Yes."

It looked at them intently and said, "You are the first people to come here, so you are destined to be here."

“I can help you cross the swamp, but in return, you need to take me out of the secret realm.”

Lin Tanyu asked, "Is it okay to take you out? Or rather, what price do we need to pay to take you out?"

The tortoise glanced at her and said, "Not only do you not have to pay any price, but you can also benefit from it."

Lin Tanyu gave him a look that said, "Don't lie to me. There's no such thing as a free lunch. You're not up to something, are you?"

The tortoise looked at Feng Ning and said, "I will choose one of you to be my servant. From now on, I will naturally protect you."

Xue Feng rolled his eyes. "Servant? You're a prisoner now. Have you no shame?"

Lin Tanyu was equally speechless. "Can you even understand the current situation? You still want to pick and choose people? Dream on, we don't even want you."

Feng Ning smiled. "Did you hear that? Now it's not your turn to negotiate with us, it's your turn to beg us to take you out."

"you!"

Feng Ning interrupted it, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Considering your strength is not bad, I can give you a chance."

She turned to look at Lin Tanyu, "Senior Sister, would you be willing to form a contract with it?"

Lin Tanyu was surprised, "Me? Can I do it?"

Feng Ning nodded, "Of course you can. You have a wood elemental root, and water nourishes wood, so it can also serve as an auxiliary element."

Lin Tanyu subconsciously looked at Xue Feng, who smiled and said, "You don't need to consider me. It's a water element, and I have a fire element. It's my weakness."

Feng Ning nodded. "That's the idea. If you're willing, you can take it. If you're not, you can just kill it and extract its demon core."

The tortoise's eyes widened. "I'm a fourth-tier demon beast!"

Feng Ning rolled her eyes at it, "So what? You're still a weakling. Can you even beat us?"

The tortoise fell silent.

Lin Tanyu thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, junior sister, please teach me the contract formation."

Feng Ning nodded.

When a beast tamer contracts a spirit beast, they use a secret technique, which is not passed on to outsiders.

She used a formation, which had a similar effect.

Feng Ning transmitted her voice to Lin Tanyu, "Senior Sister, I suggest you use the Life and Death Contract. This tortoise is stronger than you. If it's an equal contract, you can forcibly break the contract once it becomes stronger."

Lin Tanyu glanced at the indignant turtle and finally nodded.

Feng Ning is right. This tortoise initially wanted to take them in as servants; it wasn't aiming for equality at all.

Let's do this for now.

So Lin Tanyu nodded, agreeing with her words.

Feng Ning immediately began to teach her step by step.

Lin Tanyu's consciousness was not strong, and after trying twice, his face turned pale.

Feng Ning quickly helped her sit down.

"Senior sister, how about... I just give you a formation plate?"

Lin Tanyu was shocked, while Feng Ning was still wondering if she had said something wrong.

Lin Tanyu said, feeling wronged, "You have an array formation plate, so why do you make me learn it myself?"

Feng Ning was slightly embarrassed. "I was just thinking that if you learned it yourself, you could take on more students in the future."

Lin Tanyu sighed helplessly, "I am an alchemist. Having even one spirit beast is already a pleasant surprise. If I have another one, I'm afraid my sea of ​​consciousness won't be able to handle it."

Feng Ning smiled and took out a formation plate.

Feng Ning kicked the tortoise, "If you obediently become my senior sister's contracted beast, I'll spare your life."
