A Little Turtle

"We've arrived, shopkeeper." Ba Jiu, who was in front, was very happy, like a leaping Qilin, and landed on the island in an instant.

"Ma Feifei." Just as Ma Feifei was about to follow, Yun Qingyang called out to her.

"Hmm?" Ma Feifei turned to look at Yun Qingyang, her face full of doubt.

"This island... seems a bit strange." Yun Qingyang frowned slightly, looking at the small island below, and said.

"What's strange about it?" Ma Feifei curiously looked down and observed the island again. There were flowers, trees, and a stream; there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

Yun Qingyang shook her head; she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange.

Seeing this, Ma Feifei comforted her, "It's alright, we just need to be careful."

Although the ocean is dangerous, it's not a big problem for Ma Feifei and his team as long as they're careful, given their strength.

Yun Qingyang nodded, and then descended with Ma Feifei, landing on the island.

"Huh..." As soon as Ma Feifei stepped onto the land of this small island, he felt that the ground beneath his feet seemed a little different. He looked down but couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up. However, thinking of Yun Qingyang's strange behavior earlier, Ma Feifei became more vigilant.

"Shopkeeper, this is it! This fruit is so good, it's delicious!" Ba Jiu didn't react to any of this, happily darting around in the woods, pointing at the fruit on the trees and shouting.

"You've already eaten it!" Ma Feifei was a little surprised. They didn't even know if this thing was poisonous, yet Ba Jiu had eaten it first. He really was careless.

"I ate it! It was quite delicious, and it wasn't poisonous." Ba Jiu understood what Ma Feifei meant and explained.

"How does it feel?" Ma Feifei asked.

Upon hearing this, Ba Jiu pondered for a moment before replying, "It feels quite comfortable; my stomach is warm."

After listening, Ma Feifei nodded. Although the fruit contained a lot of energy, it certainly wouldn't have much effect on the Divine Beast, Ba Jiu. The fact that it made Ba Jiu's stomach feel warm already proved its effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei casually picked a fruit, wiped it clean, and handed it to Yun Qingyang, saying, "Try it."

"Why aren't you eating?" Yun Qingyang looked at Ma Feifei with a suspicious expression.

"I don't like eating fruit," Ma Feifei said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

"I don't like it either," Yun Qingyang replied seriously.

"..."

Ma Feifei was speechless, so she picked up the fruit, took a bite, and chewed it.

The fruit is juicy and tender, crisp and delicious, and tastes quite good. Moreover, after biting into it, a surge of Spiritual Power enters the body, cleansing the internal organs and leaving one feeling completely refreshed from head to toe.

"This fruit should be most effective for cultivators below the Spirit Venerable realm," Ma Feifei muttered as he ate the fruit.

"Qingyang, how about I give you a task?" Ma Feifei thought for a moment, then moved closer to Yun Qingyang and said.

"What mission?" Yun Qingyang was looking around the island; she felt there was something strange about it.

"Go pick these fruits, we'll take them back and sell them, and we'll split the profits 50/50," Ma Feifei said, pointing to a large area of trees covered in green fruit.

"Can this still be sold for money?" Yun Qingyang, somewhat surprised.

"..." What could Ma Feifei say? If fruits that could enhance cultivation couldn't be sold for money, what could?

Fortunately, Yun Qingyang didn't argue with him about who was in the 50/50 split this time, otherwise Ma Feifei felt he would have to pry open her head to see what was inside.

Watching Yun Qingyang pick fruit, Ma Feifei took his fishing rod and walked towards the shore, preparing to continue fishing.

The reason Ma Feifei came to this small island was that he wanted to fish in the deep sea. Fishing in the shallow sea was too difficult; low-level marine creatures didn't seem to dare to approach the Dragon Ball, far less decisive and ferocious than that sixth-tier 'shark'.

Based on what we just saw, the higher the rank of the marine creature, the more interested it should be in this Dragon Ball.

Reaching the edge of the island, Ma Feifei casually found a spot and tossed the Dragon Ball again. Then, he plopped down on the ground, fishing rod in hand, pulled his straw hat down slightly, and began to doze off.

After an unknown amount of time, Ma Feifei felt the fishing rod in her hand move slightly. Ma Feifei opened her eyes and glanced at it, then closed them again.

"Stomp~"

There was another slight tug. Ma Feifei didn't open his eyes this time, but his divine sense had already quietly spread out, probing towards the seabed.

This discovery was quite remarkable. Ma Feifei found a small turtle next to the Dragon Ball, constantly Tackle it with its tiny head. The Dragon Ball Dragon Ball from the impact, but the turtle seemed quite happy, flipping over 360 degrees each time it bumped the Dragon Ball Dragon Ball, as if it were playing with it.

The little turtle is very small, only about the size of a palm, but its tiny shell is extremely cute.

"Strange, a little turtle actually appeared in the deep sea." Ma Feifei frowned, sensing the little turtle, but couldn't detect any Spiritual Power fluctuations from it. This meant the little turtle was a very ordinary sea creature, so ordinary it didn't even have a specific rank...

This place is already in the deep sea area. Although it is unknown whether the ocean will become deeper as they go further, Ma Feifei discovered many high-level marine creatures along the way, such as sixth, seventh, and eighth-level creatures.

It's truly illogical that a small turtle with no rank could survive in this deep-sea area.

"Who cares, as long as it takes the bait." Ma Feifei shook off those thoughts and began to focus on dealing with the little turtle.

The little turtle was clearly very interested in the Dragon Ball. Ma Feifei slightly moved the fishing rod back a step, and the little turtle took a step forward to catch up. Step by step, the little turtle was almost swimming to the shore with the Dragon Ball, only about ten meters away from Ma Feifei.

"It seems like there's a chance." Ma Feifei was overjoyed. He got up from the ground, switched his grip on the pole from one hand to both hands, slowly controlled the rope to tighten, and then retreated to the shore.

Gradually, the Dragon Ball surfaced.

"Plop~ Plop~"

The little turtle also surfaced, splashing and thrashing its limbs against the water's surface with great joy.

"Chirp chirp~~" The little turtle seemed to be getting anxious when it saw the Dragon Ball leave the water and chirped out.

Ma Feifei suspended the Dragon Ball on the little black bird, making it always just short of reaching Dragon Ball, but never quite touching it, and then slowly moved it towards the shore.

The little turtle had no idea about any of this. It was constantly lured ashore by Ma Feifei and eventually actually stepped onto the shore, walking on all fours and following the Dragon Ball toward Ma Feifei.
