Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1433: Chapter 58: Eating Melon! Shou Zhe Shows Off His Authority

…

At the same time.

Above Zhuwei Lake, where Primordial Water Aura abounds, a plump Primordial Water Spirit Tortoise leisurely glided over the lake surface, its massive shell protruding darkly from the water like a small boat.

A young man with a slightly rounded face and small stature sat cross-legged on the tortoise’s back, his head lowered in sulkiness.

With the completion of the Wang family’s Large Spirit Gathering Array over the years, the spiritual energy within the clan’s land had become increasingly rich, gradually transforming into a true Heavenly Abode.

High above, five enormous and invisible whirlpools of spiritual energy swirled like torrents, flowing ceaselessly.

An incomparable attracting force burst forth from the center of the whirlpools, akin to black holes, drawing in any passing spiritual energy within a certain range from the atmosphere. Like running water, it merged into the Wang family’s land below.

After years of accumulation, the spiritual energy within the entire Wang family territory was rich and full of life; the spirituality, drifting with the wind, was now on par with that of Changchun Valley in the past.

In such an environment, both living and cultivating were greatly beneficial. Even the wild grasses growing under the walls became more robust and resilient under the nourishment of the spiritual energy – though that was hardly useful.

“Splash splash~”

The Old Turtle of Primordial Water slid through the water with ease and comfort. Despite its large size, it moved through the water with grace, swimming swiftly and steadily, ensuring that the “noble young master” on its back felt not a ripple of disturbance.

This was a divine skill it had honed over the past one hundred and some years, serving as a “professional ferry turtle.”

As a standard-blooded Primordial Water Spirit Tortoise, the Old Turtle held a pride of its own.

Which child of the direct bloodline in the family hadn’t grown up on its back? Which one hadn’t it diligently shuttled to and from school every day?

Over the years, this had almost become a tradition for the Wang family.

Starting from Wang Liyao and Wang Zong’an, to Wang Shizhao, Wang Shihao, and Wang Anye, down to Wang Ning Yi, Wang Ning Yao, and now it was the turn of Rich, the little master.

Right now, having just finished his day’s studies, Rich rode it as he left the Clan School.

Wang Fugui was supposed to head home at this time, but feeling not so great, decided to visit his Forty-Seventh Uncle Wang Ningxi, with whom he had a close relationship.

Wang Ningxi’s courtyard was located on the southern bank of Zhuwei Lake. Many children in the family, influenced by Wang Shouzhe, were reluctant to move out of the houses they had grown accustomed to since childhood.

By slightly expanding and renovating those lakeside cottages, they became Wang Ningxi’s bridal house.

The Primordial Water Spirit Tortoise came to a smooth stop at the lakeside cottage.

Wang Fugui leaped onto the wooden dock, expressing his gratitude, “Thank you, Old Turtle Grandpa. I have a pack of Spirit Crocodile meat here for you to enjoy at your leisure.”

“Roar chirp roar chirp~”

The Old Turtle of Primordial Water responded contentedly.

The children at home were good, they knew how to take care of the elderly. They treated it, a “senior elder” who had contributed to the clan, with great respect and courtesy.

Of course, the Old Turtle did not rely on being fed snacks by the children for its upkeep. In fact, as the Wang family’s first official Clan Guardian Spirit Beast, it enjoyed quite a generous annual support.

With the generous support of the Wang family, the Old Turtle of Primordial Water lived a life of utmost contentment.

Over a hundred years, it had already stepped into Level Five and was now steadily advancing towards Level Six. Given time, it might even reach the threshold of Level Seven, just like the Old Turtle in Heavenly Lake.

“Isn’t that Rich? Why do you look so glum?”

At that moment, in the courtyard by the lake belonging to Wang Ningxi, a pretty woman was clipping flowers in a small garden. The evening sunlight spilled over her cheeks, painting them a rosy and lustrous hue, making her exceptionally charming and attractive.

She was Shangguan Lingbo, who, years ago, nearly had her engagement annulled but bravely confronted Wang Ningxi to seek an explanation.

Upon seeing Wang Fugui, she greeted him with a smile.

More than thirty years had passed, and she had shed her youthful naivety to become a beautiful woman in her early twenties, her eyes sparkling with life.

Having married Wang Ningxi over a decade ago, they had yet to successfully conceive due to his high Tiaren realm cultivation at the time of marriage.

For this reason, she was especially fond of her occasionally visiting nephew, Wang Fugui.

“Greetings, Forty-Seventh Aunt.”

Wang Fugui bowed respectfully.

Although young, he carried himself with grace, possessing the demeanor of a modest gentleman, “I’ve encountered some difficulties in Artifact Refining and have come to seek advice from Forty-Seventh Uncle.”

“Your Forty-Seventh Uncle is tinkering with his Puppets in the front courtyard workshop,” Shangguan Lingbo said, smiling, “By the way, I heard you’ve been busy with a love affair recently and haven’t visited us for a long time.”

Wang Fugui’s face turned red, as he helplessly replied, “Forty-Seventh Aunt, please don’t believe the rumors. I am merely good friends with Miss Mengyu. However, she has ended her travels a few days ago and returned to the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty with Senior Yuling.”

“No wonder you have time to visit Forty-Seventh Uncle now,” teased Shangguan Lingbo, “Go see him first, and I will cook for you. You can leave after eating.”

“Thank you, Forty-Seventh Aunt,” said Wang Fugui, and he hurried off to Wang Ningxi’s workshop as if making his escape.
