Yang Yan returned to Prosperous Court, and it was already nine at night.

After all this hassle, Yang Yan felt a bit tired.

Lying in bed, he stared blankly at the ceiling, pondering the motive of the black-robed figure mentioned by the Black Tortoise.

He wondered if the black-robed person mentioned by Frost Heaven was the same group.

Or perhaps it was the same person.

After all, to wipe out a group that even Frost Heaven finds troublesome in such a short time, that's not something an ordinary person can do.

Yang Yan thought and thought until he fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Red Dust went along with Zhuge Wushuang to Fatty's bar.

As for the Black Tortoise that was stubbornly sticking with Yang Yan, it was lying in the fish tank, sleeping like a pet Brazilian turtle.

In the early morning, Yang Yan woke up very early, planning to visit some places to confirm whether what he sensed from the Black Tortoise yesterday was true.

After quickly washing up, Yang Yan went to the kitchen to fry an egg for himself, added some bacon, poured a glass of milk, and began a delightful breakfast.

Of course, it would be even more delightful if the Black Tortoise wasn't lying at his feet like a puppy.

Yang Yan bitterly smiled and glanced at the Black Tortoise, which at this moment stretched out a long tongue at him, its size larger than before, eyeing him like a greedy puppy.

"You're not hungry, are you?"

The Black Tortoise quickly nodded after hearing Yang Yan's words and said pitifully:

"It's been a hundred years since I last ate, I'm already so hungry that my chest is sticking to my back."

"Uh... You're a turtle, even if you starve, your chest wouldn't stick to your back, right?"

Yang Yan said irritably.

"Ah... it's just an expression, you know? Just saying I'm very, very hungry, not literally."

The Black Tortoise shouted loudly.

Yang Yan couldn't help but be taken aback.

This guy's way of speaking is off!

Last night, it was filled with authority, how did it start speaking like a kid now?

Looking at the Black Tortoise, Yang Yan couldn't help but ask:

"How old are you actually?"

The Black Tortoise paused when it heard Yang Yan ask its age and said:

"Only a thousand years old."

"Damn! Only a thousand?"

Yang Yan said surprised.

"What's so strange about that?" The Black Tortoise rolled its eyes, "The Black Tortoise clan is naturally long-lived, many live over ten thousand years. I'm still young now, otherwise, I wouldn't have been trapped in that formation by that nasty guy."

"If it was those adult Black Tortoises, that broken formation couldn't even contain them. And if that guy provokes them, they shouldn't dream of getting away."

As it talked, it grew more and more proud, then started boasting about the Black Tortoise clan's extraordinary Divine Techniques.

To prove its point, it even began talking from its grandfather's grandfather, bringing the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors into the discussion.

It seemed like there was no end.

"Enough! Stop, stop now! I don't think you're hungry, you're suffering from a chatterbox syndrome after not speaking for so long. Just say it, what do you want to eat? I better hurry and get something to shut your mouth!"

Yang Yan quickly interrupted its endless chatter, asking irritably.

Being interrupted, the Black Tortoise was a bit displeased, but then it raised a turtle paw and pointed at the milk excitedly:

"You don't have anything good here, this will do!"

Oh-ho!

What an actor!

Clearly wants the milk but acts like it doesn't care much.

Even turtles are all about acting these days?

Grabbing a larger plate and filling it with milk, the Black Tortoise began sipping beside the plate.

Yang Yan watched its actions, thought for a bit, then placed the entire milk bottle next to it, letting it pour itself.

This fellow really had skill, using its turtle paw somehow to actually pour it out.

"Damn, wasn't there a rule against spirits being active after the nation was founded?"

Yang Yan complained and asked the Black Tortoise:

"I'm heading out later, are you coming with me or what?"

"I'll go with you, and see what the world has become. The last time I was in the mortal world was over a hundred years ago."

"The ship you folks were on last night, I've never seen it before, actually made of iron and travels so fast. Your human technology really advances by leaps and bounds!"

Black Tortoise exclaimed.

"Alright then! Shrink down a bit, and I'll take you out for a stroll. Just as well there are places I need you to check."

Yang Yan thought for a moment and said.

Before long, Yang Yan left home with the Black Tortoise.

Originally, Yang Yan planned for the creature to shrink down so he could carry it in his pocket, but it refused, following Yang Yan like a puppy.

Fortunately, it now looked like an ordinary turtle, so it didn't arouse any suspicion from people.

At most, it made people think Yang Yan was a bit unusual.

Others walked cats and dogs, he preferred walking a turtle.

Sure enough, Yang Yan's return rate on the street was high.

Already handsome, Yang Yan had a nimble turtle by his side, anyone would glance a few times.

Yang Yan glanced at the ordinary-looking Black Tortoise, realizing taking it out was a mistake.

Although, it had the appearance of a common turtle, it seemed overly intelligent.

Now everyone wanted to come and take pictures with it.

And many acted on it.

"Hey! Buddy, where did you buy this turtle? And how did you train it? It's way too obedient, just walking along with you like this? So magical, so incredible!"

A guy ran over with shining eyes to ask Yang Yan.

"Uh… just trained it like this, maybe because it's been fed for a long time! Wisdom comes with age, the same might go for turtles!"

Yang Yan made up a random excuse to brush off.

"Hey friend, do you want to sell this turtle?"

Someone couldn't resist asking Yang Yan.

"Sorry, not selling!"

Yang Yan firmly declined.

Walking along, countless people already asked Yang Yan if he wanted to sell the turtle.

"Friend, name your price? If you don't know how much to ask for, trust me, I'll offer a high price."

A man followed persistently and asked.

"I said it's not for sale."

Yang Yan said and walked ahead, followed closely by the Black Tortoise.

To be honest, Yang Yan did want to sell off this pesky turtle.

Asked it to shrink down, but it simply refused.

Now with everyone watching him like he's some spectacle.

Of course, it was just a thought.

Helplessly, he hastened his pace.

Despite this, he was photographed countless times along the way.

Estimated tonight's urban headlines would feature a man walking a turtle around the street.
