Four Spirit Pillars-Tortoise

Fortunately, the turtle didn't continue attacking Ma Feifei. Instead, it stared wide-eyed at the Dragon Ball hanging on the fishing line with its eyes, which were even bigger than Ma Feifei's.

"You want it?" Ma Feifei asked curiously.

"Pfft~"

The turtle exhaled through its nostrils and nodded its massive head.

Ma Feifei thought for a moment, then took the Dragon Ball off the fishing line and tossed it over.

"Waaah~~"

The turtle opened its mouth and took it in, then seemed to let out a happy cry.

"Ma Feifei!" Yun Qingyang shouted sternly.

"I'll buy that Dragon Ball. I'll settle the bill later." Ma Feifei waved his hand and replied nonchalantly. What's a Dragon Ball? If this turtle is the mission objective and one of the Four Spirit Pillars of Deity, then exchanging it for a Dragon Ball would be an incredibly good deal.

"Waaah~~"

The tortoise croaked again, seemingly greeting Ma Feifei.

Of course, this was all Ma Feifei's assumption, so just as he was about to return the gift, the tortoise suddenly turned around and sank directly.

"..."

Ma Feifei was instantly dumbfounded, watching the turtle slowly sink into the sea, at a loss for what to do.

"They're leaving already?" Ma Feifei was stunned, unsure whether to ask herself or Yun Qingyang.

"You still have to pay me the money," Yun Qingyang said earnestly, patting Ma Feifei on the shoulder.

"I..." Ma Feifei shrugged, speechless.

"I can no longer sense its presence," said Ba Jiu, looking at the gradually calming sea.

"Sigh..." Ma Feifei glanced at the sky, which was already darkening, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"It's getting late, let's go back to shore first."

They came Unburden and didn't intend to stay long. They thought the mission would be easy, but after an afternoon of trouble, Ma Feifei realized that things were far more complicated than he had imagined. In the end, they could only go back to shore to rest for the night and make plans for tomorrow.

Ba Jiu and Yun Qingyang naturally had no objections, and the three of them turned around and flew back in the direction they had come from.

Ma Feifei has a pretty good sense of direction. He secretly left his aura as a marker when he came. Otherwise, with Yun Qingyang and Ba Jiu, who are both directionally challenged, pointing the way, they probably would never have been able to get ashore again in their lifetime.

"Huh?"

On the way back, Ma Feifei was pondering how to define the completion of this task when Yun Qingyang suddenly spoke, startling him. He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yun Qingyang looked down at the vast sea below, frowned, and said, "That big guy seems to be following us."

"Follow us?" Ma Feifei was initially puzzled, then secretly delighted. Could it be that this tortoise wanted to follow him?

Is the protagonist's fate sealed?

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei released his divine sense and looked down, discovering that there was indeed a giant turtle swimming rapidly at the bottom of the sea, in the same direction as they were heading.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the shallow sea area, where the water was no longer deep enough to completely cover the turtle's body, so its shell was gradually revealed.

"Whoosh~"

When Ma Feifei and the other two returned to the dock, they turned to look at the turtle and found that it could only stay a hundred meters away and could not move forward any further, because most of its body was already exposed. If it moved forward, it would be no different from going ashore.

"Are you coming with me?" Ma Feifei blurted out instinctively.

"Waaah~~"

The tortoise nodded its enormous head.

Ma Feifei's face lit up with joy. Although he didn't quite understand why the turtle was following him, since it had taken the initiative, Ma Feifei wouldn't hesitate. He immediately picked up his fishing rod and cast it at the turtle.

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred: the slender fishing line emitted a faint fluorescent glow, instantly transforming into thousands of fine threads that entangled the giant turtle.

"Buzz~"

The fishing line made a buzzing sound, Ma Feifei subconsciously pulled the fishing rod.

"Whoosh~"

Ma Feifei easily pulled the turtle up.

"Whoosh~"

The giant tortoise transformed into a streak of light and flew directly towards Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei quickly took out the fish trap, and the light 'whooshed' into it.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the task of Legendary-grade quality book 'Investiture of the Gods' on your bookshelf. 'Investiture of the Gods' is now available for all readers to enjoy."

As the system notification sounded, it was announced that Ma Feifei's mission had been successfully completed.

"Is it really that simple?" Despite the smooth progress, Ma Feifei felt a little unreal, as if something was missing.

However, Ma Feifei couldn't figure out what the problem was, so he simply stopped thinking about it and happily glanced into the fish tank, where he saw a small turtle crawling inside.

"This thing is pretty amazing, it can actually hold everything." Ma Feifei exclaimed as he carried Yu Hu back.

As expected of a system product, compared to that fishing rod that breaks at the slightest bend, the Yuhu's ability to accommodate everything is miles ahead of that fishing rod.

"Ma Feifei, it's time to pay the bill," Yun Qingyang reminded him as he caught up.

"What bill?" Ma Feifei asked, holding Yu Hu, looking bewildered.

"You took my Dragon Ball, and now it's been swallowed. You have to buy it back," Yun Qingyang said seriously.

"I didn't swallow the Dragon Ball, so why would I buy them?" Ma Feifei replied seriously.

"You!" Yun Qingyang pointed at Ma Feifei, so angry she didn't know what to say. She glanced at the fish in Ma Feifei's arms and immediately reached out to snatch it, saying, "If you don't buy it, I'll just take it out and stew it!"

"Hey hey hey~~ I'll buy it, I'll buy it, let go of me!"

"Then you take the money first."

How am I supposed to get the money if you don't let go?

"I won't let go until you give me the money."

"..."

The journey back was filled with the sounds of Ma Feifei and Yun Qingyang playfully bickering. In the end, Ma Feifei still couldn't get the better of Yun Qingyang. After paying a large sum of Spirit Crystal, he managed to save the turtle in the fish tank from being stewed by Yun Qingyang.

The next day at daybreak, Ma Feifei and his group rushed back to the Mysterious Bookstore.

It was still early morning, and the Bookstore was not yet open for business; the doors were tightly shut. However, this was no problem for Ma Feifei. With a thought, the doors opened immediately.

Ma Feifei carried Yu Hu into the Bookstore, followed by Yun Qingyang and Ba Jiu.

"Buzz~~"

As soon as Ma Feifei entered the Bookstore, she felt Yu Hu suddenly tremble.

"What's going on?" Ma Feifei was taken aback.

"Whoosh~"

A beam of light shot out from the fish hole and directly hit a blank pillar inside the Bookstore.

"Ding ding ding~~"

A flash of golden light appeared, and the once pristine white pillar was now covered with patterns. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than the giant tortoise.

"Is this even possible?" Ma Feifei walked to the Four Spirit Pillars, looking at the suddenly appearing tortoise with a bewildered expression.
