Yuan Shanhe’s expression changed slightly. “What happened?”

The guard said, “Your Majesty, the spiritual turtle you raised in Jingxin Hall suddenly went berserk and rushed out of the palace to hurt people.”

“All the imperial guards in the palace have been mobilized, but we still can’t do anything to it!”

“The most terrifying thing is that this spiritual turtle is getting bigger and bigger. We can’t control it at all!”

Yuan Shanhe frowned and revealed a worried expression. “Such a thing actually happened?!”

Eleven years ago, when he was fishing by the lake in the royal garden, he encountered a little Black Tortoise climbing out of the water.

According to the ancient records, the Black Tortoise was a spirit beast.

Its head was like a bird’s, and it had elephant teeth. It could breathe true energy, and true energy turned into divine water that could nourish the kidneys.

Therefore, Yuan Shanhe raised that little Black Tortoise in Jingxin Hall and kept it company all day.

However, the Black Tortoise was a spirit beast after all.

In order to prevent it from escaping or anything unexpected happening, Yuan Shanhe specially invited the most famous refiner in the entire state to forge a Dharma treasure-level mystic-armored jade jar as the residence of the Black Tortoise.

He originally thought that the Black Tortoise would live very comfortably in the mystic-armored jade jar and wouldn’t break out of it at all, let alone hurt people. Unexpectedly, this happened.

The guard hurriedly said, “The commander has already sent someone to tell Master Cao about this and ask him to refine a Dharma artifact that can trap the spiritual turtle as soon as possible.”

“But the most important thing now is to think of a way to control the spiritual turtle. Otherwise, the entire palace will be destroyed by him!”

“I understand!”

Yuan Shanhe panicked and prepared to charge toward Jingxin Hall.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and slapped his forehead. “With the Consort around, why should I be in such a hurry?”

He thought of Lin Xuan’s powerful abilities and instantly calmed down.

A mere spiritual turtle definitely couldn’t cause any trouble in front of the Consort!

At this moment, Lin Xuan, Mu Youqing, and the others came to Yuan Shanhe’s side. Yuan Shanhe hurriedly said,

“Consort, a spiritual turtle I raised is causing trouble. No one can control it.”

“Consort, please help me subdue the spiritual turtle. I’ll be extremely grateful!”

Lin Xuan heard the commotion from five kilometers in front of him and nodded casually. “Sure.”

Yuan Shanhe was delighted and hurriedly reached out. “Consort, please go ahead!”

When the group arrived outside Jingxin Hall, they saw at least three thousand imperial guards surrounding a thousand-foot-tall Black Tortoise.

Swords flashed and shields were like walls as they blocked the Black Tortoise with all their might to prevent it from rushing out of the encirclement.

However, this Black Tortoise’s entire body was as hard as iron, and its shell was like a thousand-foot-long iron wall.

No weapon could subdue it.

Instead, it relied on its incomparably huge body to crash into the imperial guards in front of it and send them retreating step by step.

The imperial guard commander, Zhuang Zhiqiang, couldn’t help but sigh when he saw the Black Tortoise become more and more ferocious.

“Shit, no one can stop this Black Tortoise. I’m afraid our entire palace will be destroyed by it today!”

Yuan Shanhe hurriedly went forward and shouted, “Don’t panic, the Consort is here!”

Zhuang Zhiqiang and the other three thousand guards suddenly turned around.

Lin Xuan looked as handsome as a god.

So this was the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort. He was indeed handsome!

When they saw Lin Xuan, Zhuang Zhiqiang and the others felt inexplicably calm. They hurriedly put away their weapons and took a hundred steps back towards Lin Xuan.

When Lin Xuan took a few steps forward, everyone saw a shocking scene.

They realized that the extremely irritable Black Tortoise had completely quietened down the moment it saw Lin Xuan.

The mystic water energy around the Mystic Turtle also instantly decreased by 90%, and not even a drop of water dared to splash on Lin Xuan.

Yuan Shanhe couldn’t help but clap and sigh. “As expected! The Consort made the Black Tortoise afraid with just a single look!”

Zhuang Zhiqiang and the others were even more shocked.

“The ferocious and cruel Black Tortoise became much more obedient in an instant. The Consort’s might is really admirable!”

Facing everyone’s impressed gazes, Lin Xuan said calmly, “Change back.”

Phew ~

A mystic water light flashed and the huge turtle returned to its original state in the blink of an eye. It was only the size of a palm.

This scene stunned everyone present.

“It’s smaller!”

“The Consort made the Black Tortoise obediently return to its original form with a single sentence. How magical!”

Yuan Shanhe hurriedly went forward and bowed. “Consort, why did this Black Tortoise become so huge and ferocious?”

He felt that since Lin Xuan had the ability to tame the Black Tortoise with a single sentence, Lin Xuan definitely knew the reason why the Black Tortoise became like this.

Lin Xuan said, “As you know, this Black Tortoise is a spirit beast. It follows you all day and will constantly absorb the power of a country from you.”

“When it absorbs enough, its body will expand correspondingly and it will be unable to control itself, causing it to go berserk and have a bad temper.”

“I see!” Yuan Shanhe had a look of admiration. “Not only are the Consort’s beast-taming methods shocking, but you’re also so knowledgeable. How admirable!”

Mu Youqing went forward and asked, “Cousin-in-law, this Black Tortoise can’t absorb the luck of a country now?”

“No.” Lin Xuan shook his head. “As long as it stays in the palace, it will constantly absorb luck.”

Yuan Shanhe cupped his hands and said, “I’m unwilling to abandon this spiritual turtle. Please help me solve the problem.”

Lin Xuan smiled slightly. “That’s simple.”

He waved his right hand and a green grass flew over from the garden at the side.

Then, he activated the Primordial Fire Spirit Body.

Spiritual energy turned into fire.

He flicked out a fiery light that enveloped the green grass and used grandmaster-level refining skills to refine it into a green grass ring.

With a flick of his finger, the grass ring was put on the Black Tortoise’s neck.

“Consort, this is?”

Yuan Shanhe was shocked and felt that Lin Xuan’s technique was really magical.

Lin Xuan smiled. “The Black Tortoise is of the water attribute, the green grass is of the wood attribute, and the five elements are water and wood. The luck that the Black Tortoise absorbs can be transferred to this grass ring to make it rich in spiritual energy.”

“As for the spiritual energy of the grass ring, it will feed the Mystic Turtle. The two will coexist and circulate endlessly.”

“I see!” Yuan Shanhe sighed in admiration. “Only after seeing the Consort do we truly understand what a miracle is!”

Zhuang Zhiqiang and the others also had looks of admiration.

So this was the bearing of a top figure in the Upper Realm. He was in sight but out of reach for them!

Lin Xuan smiled calmly and turned to walk towards Xuan Zhu and the others.

Xuan You looked at the Black Tortoise curiously and asked Yuan Shanhe, “Sir, can I play with this little Black Tortoise for a while?”

“Of course!” Yuan Shanhe was flattered.

Not to mention a Black Tortoise, he was even willing to give the entire palace to Xuan You to play with.

“Thank you!” Xuan You was very happy. Then, she went forward to pick up the Black Tortoise and play with Xuan Zhu and the others.

Next, under Yuan Shanhe’s lead, Lin Xuan came to the hall to watch the shadow puppet show.

He sat upright on the golden phoenix throne with the four babies.

When they learned that the mighty North Mystic Heaven’s Consort had come to the Muping Kingdom to watch the show, the entire country’s civil and military officials were inexplicably excited. They felt like they were in a dream.

As for the shadow puppet show cast, they also had proud expressions. They secretly told themselves that they had to perform their best and let Lin Xuan and the children happy!
