Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1112: Chapter 1092: Black Tortoise

After circling around Luo Qianqian twice, for some reason, the over two-meter-long snake didn’t attack her first. Perhaps sensing Luo Qianqian wasn’t an easy target, this little creature looked very frail but unknowingly gave off a dangerous vibe.

”Big Black!” Tang Guo directly tossed an apple onto the snake’s head, with a helpless expression: ”Where’s your brother?”

”Him? He should be in the pond, right?” The snake stopped circling Luo Qianqian, lifted its head, and looked at Tang Guo in mid-air.

Not just a stunned crowd, even Luo Qianqian was utterly bewildered.

Feng Xi wore an expression of disdain: ”Why is it you? I remember feeling so annoyed whenever I saw you.”

”Tch, you little bird, still so ungrateful. Did your ancestors not teach you well?” Although the snake couldn’t show expressions, its tone was clearly filled with disdain.

”Mom, this is Big Black, and when he’s with his brother Xiao Hei, they’re called the Black Tortoise.” Tang Guo drifted to Luo Qianqian’s side, whispering an explanation.

Black, Black Tortoise.

Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.

”Is this your master?” the big snake naturally leaned toward Luo Qianqian’s direction. ”Among this group of people, only she makes me feel at ease.”

If it weren’t for sensing this aura, he wouldn’t be wandering around.

”You back off.” Luo Qianqian, with a face full of fear, jumped right into Tang Tianyi’s arms.

Tang Tianyi took hold of Luo Qianqian in a princess carry, ignoring Luo Yanran’s glaring from the side, and slightly frowned: ”Black Tortoise? Divine Beast?”

”Don’t insult me, that little bird is a Divine Beast; I’m considered a Holy Beast, one of the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts.” Big Black didn’t seem hurt by Luo Qianqian’s actions, as not fainting already counted as good.

Luo Qianqian clung tightly to Tang Tianyi’s neck, her voice choked with tears: ”Wasn’t the Black Tortoise said to be a big turtle? Who removed its turtle shell?”

”The Black Tortoise is divided into two parts...” Tang Tianyi began explaining helplessly to Luo Qianqian.

”Does nobody question why a snake and turtle are brothers?” Luo Qianqian listened to Tang Tianyi’s explanation, still finding it hard to accept.

Big Black emitted a strange syllable, and soon the bushes started rustling again.

Goosebumps covered Luo Qianqian; was this summoning a nest full of snakes!

Mom, I want to go home...

”Brother, what are you doing?” A cool, lazy voice drifted over, and Luo Qianqian slowly turned her head. Compared to Big Black’s hoarse voice, this voice was much more pleasant to hear.

Then she saw a giant turtle crawling out...

”Tang Guo, explain!” Luo Qianqian was on the verge of tears; where did this group of things come from?

With snakes and turtles, the key point is, they can talk, what on earth are they?

Tang Guo’s little face was full of grievance: ”They came to me themselves, so I took them in. After all, they’re not just cats and dogs you find everywhere.”

Taken in? Found themselves?

Why does it sound so eerie?

”Oh right, I’ve made a contract with them under me on behalf of Mom as well. It’s actually quite nice, riding a turtle is more comfortable than riding a horse.” Tang Guo said earnestly.

Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched, did she now have no say in any matters?

”Let them go back to the pond first... and no laying eggs!”

”They’re males, males don’t lay eggs.” Tang Guo explained earnestly.

Watching Big Black entwined with Xiao Hei leaving, Luo Qianqian finally got down from Tang Tianyi’s arms, her legs weak, her face full of tears ready to fall.

”Uh, let’s go see the foundation first, and study building the house.” Although Luo Yanran was angry at Tang Tianyi, with the old man present, he could retire...

But he hadn’t gone far before hearing the old man say: ”You all should hold back too, don’t do anything excessive.”

”Don’t worry, Grandpa Luo, I have enough patience to wait for her to grow up.” Tang Tianyi promised confidently.

Luo Qianqian’s face blushed lightly, standing aside somewhat at a loss, until everyone had left, she then poked Tang Tianyi’s arm: ”But I don’t seem to be growing up anymore, do I?”

With a height of 1.6 meters, it’s a bit embarrassing, thinking she would grow a bit taller.

”I’ll wait until you’re of age.” Tang Tianyi gently ruffled Luo Qianqian’s head: ”Let’s go, once everything is arranged, we should start cultivation as well, and remember to pick up your brother from Elvis when you take Xiao Yu to register.”

”My brother?!” Luo Qianqian was full of disbelief.

”Mmm, he should be able to make it. I emailed him, and he said he would come over.” Tang Tianyi seemed utterly natural: ”You could bring Elvis too, but I suggest letting him watch over Heavenly Shield instead.”

”Alright.” Luo Qianqian agreed one by one.

Both of their rings contained plenty of sand, cement, bricks, and other materials, so there wasn’t a shortage, though they lacked manpower.

Fortunately, time wasn’t a concern; the wooden houses being built were already livable, and being able to design their own home kept them in high spirits.

Before leaving, He Wenyu solemnly handed her design sketches to Qin Nuan, not trusting Luo Qianqian’s performance.

After sending He Wenyu for registration and entrusting her to familiar care, they felt more at ease.

The dormitory was for four people, the other three seemed easy to get along with.

Luo Qianqian, still uneasy, left Luo Xihan’s phone number with her, reminding her to call if needed without hesitation.

Reluctantly, she arrived at Elvis’s place by evening, knocking on the door to find Luo Shufan in casual wear, holding a bowl of rice, sweating from the spicy dishes.

”Brother... you must be craving badly.” Luo Qianqian shrugged speechlessly, seeing Elvis inside enjoying the meal as well.

Raising an eyebrow: ”Elvis, what’s your plan? Attending classes, going to Heavenly Shield, or joining us...” Luo Qianqian naturally walked into the room past Luo Shufan.

”I’ll go to Heavenly Shield.” Elvis looked natural: ”I’ve already discussed it with Shufan.”

Luo Qianqian glanced at Luo Shufan, who returned to continue eating.

The table was laden with dishes like boiled fish, chopped chili fish head, spicy frog pot, boiled meat slices, spicy... etc., filling the whole table.

”Brother, what sort of mistreatment have you suffered to crave life this much?” Luo Qianqian felt her stomach convulsing.

”The culinary culture is vast and profound, what do you know?” Luo Shufan solemnly replied: ”Good thing the Shangqi Club’s version is authentic enough; I’d love to eat for three days and nights.”

”Then you’ll eat yourself to death...”

After eating, they took Elvis into the Cultivation World.

Luo Shufan raised an eyebrow; it didn’t seem like this the last time he entered?

From a distance, he saw a snake coiled on a tree, quickly pulling Luo Qianqian behind him.

”Big Black, don’t scare people!” Luo Qianqian peeked her head from behind Luo Shufan, brandishing a tiny fist. Big Black silently descended the tree and slipped into the water below.

But the feeling of being protected, was indeed nice.
