At this moment, the Little Turtle's mouth opened to its widest extent, and its upper and lower lips trembled violently uncontrollably.
Suddenly!
The swarm of flying insects attacked again!
Jiang Fan didn't even look at them. He simply waved his hand, and countless Spirit Weapon and Pseudo Spirit Weapon suddenly appeared, rushing into the swarm of flying insects at lightning speed.
Soon after, fireworks burst forth from the dense swarm of flying insects, their speed and brilliance truly deserving the word "spectacular."
In just two breaths, the swarm of black flying insects vanished completely.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan felt quite satisfied and couldn't help but sigh again, " Spirit Master is really awesome!"
The system notification sound that rang in his mind was especially familiar to him after a long time.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have successfully slain the Saint Beast. You have done a good deed. Your points are increased by 900.]
system...
Jiang Fan muttered to himself, a sudden urge to beat the system to a pulp arose within him.
Noticing Jiang Fan's emotional change, the system was terrified.
[Well, it's really not my fault back then, it was your own choice.]
The system offered a weak explanation.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes. In his previous life, after killing a Divine Beast, he obtained a fruit with a very rare attribute: eating it would allow him to become Spirit Master.
He had always envied the abilities of Spirit Master, and he was incredibly envious every time he saw the Little One lying there casually using a wisp of Psychic Power to do something.
This stroke of incredible luck finally gave him the chance to become Spirit Master; how could he not be excited?
However, the system told him that taking it would have side effects.
He asked the system what the side effects were, but the system said it didn't know and told him to make the decision himself.
That's the fruit that can make you Spirit Master, what side effects could he possibly not accept?
So without hesitation for almost a second, he swallowed the fruit.
As a result, he had to go back to the factory for a fresh start.
If he had known the side effects would be starting over, he would have definitely planned everything in advance before taking the plunge. Otherwise, the situation wouldn't be in such a mess now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan couldn't help but rub his forehead, a look of bewilderment on his face.
This appearance was all too familiar to the Little Turtle.
"Master—Master, is it—is it you?"
Hearing the trembling, stuttering voice, Jiang Fan snapped out of his thoughts, looked back at the Little Turtle, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
What do you think?
The Little Turtle couldn't hold back any longer. Ignoring its injuries, it took off running for its life, tears and snot streaming down its face as it howled.
Just as it was about to reach Jiang Fan, it saw Jiang Fan raise a familiar foot, his face full of disgust, and then kick it away.
The Little Turtle that flew away was so happy, so blissful!
It's been so long since my owner kicked me flying like that!
As it flew, the Little Turtle suddenly felt an invisible force envelop it, eventually lifting it to Jiang Fan's feet.
That's right, it was Jiang Fan who brought the Little Turtle back using his Psychic Power.
"Aww, Master! I knew you loved my Little Turtle the most..."
The Little Turtle grabbed Jiang Fan's leg and howled so loudly it was heartbreaking, its tears and snot completely mixed together.
Jiang Fan originally intended to kick the Little Turtle away again, but seeing it crying so hard, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Master, what exactly happened back then? Why did you reincarnate so suddenly? You didn't even say goodbye! You have no idea, your departure threw the entire Church of Justice into chaos. Me, Brother Peach, and the Third Brother were all searching for you, while the Second stayed behind to guard the sect, waiting for your return. You have no idea how hard we searched. Later, Brother Peach disappeared, the Third disappeared, and the Second's whereabouts became unknown..."
The Little Turtle kept howling. After all these years, it had endless grievances and things it wanted to tell Jiang Fan.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Jiang Fan quickly stopped him.
The master's words were like a sacred decree, and the Little Turtle immediately stopped feeling a thousand grievances.
When it looked up at Jiang Fan again, it found that his face was deathly pale and his condition was extremely poor. This made it extremely anxious, and the turtle was like an ant on a hot pan.
"Master, what's wrong? You—"
Jiang Fan raised his hand to stop him again, genuinely afraid that the Little Turtle would start rambling on and on once it opened its mouth.
"I can't stay in this state for long, and you must remember what I'm about to say."
The Little Turtle patted its chest several times, solemnly assuring everyone, "Don't worry, Master, I will remember every word you say."
Jiang Fan nodded and said, "You can't tell me about my past. I still need to grow and mature. Knowing about my past too early wouldn't be good for me right now."
The Little Turtle blinked repeatedly, clearly finding Jiang Fan's words a bit convoluted.
Looking at the Little Turtle's innocently foolish eyes, Jiang Fan rubbed his forehead.
In short, just treat me the same way you always have.
"How can that be? You are the master, I—" The Little Turtle's excited words were interrupted by Jiang Fan raising his hand.
"Not only that, don't follow me around anymore, it will get in my way... I..." At this point, Jiang Fan staggered backward.
"Owner!"
Jiang Fan raised his hand, "Time's almost up. I'll make you pay for the loss you suffered at Niuwa's hands..."
The more Jiang Fan spoke, the weaker his voice became.
The next second, he suddenly sensed something, looked up in a certain direction in the sky, and a nostalgic smile appeared on his lips.
"The little guy's here. Alright, I should go now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Fan closed his eyes and fell backward.
"Owner!"
Just as the Little Turtle was about to catch him, someone beat it to it and caught the falling Jiang Fan.
The Crazy Old Man looked at Jiang Fan, who was in a deep coma in his arms, his eyes filled with uncontrollable rage. He turned and roared at the Little Turtle.
"Didn't that Crazy Woman tell you to protect him? Is this how you protect him?"
The Little Turtle could sense that Jiang Fan was extremely weak at this moment, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was barely breathing. It was probably related to the forced awakening. After all, Jiang Fan's current strength was only at the Early-Stage Fifth Rank. Even with his Psychic Power, he was only Great Psychic. Bearing the power of his master was no joke.
The Little Turtle was both anxious and nervous at that moment, and when it heard the Crazy Old Man scolding it, all sorts of negative emotions exploded in its mind.
"Damn it, didn't you see how badly I'm injured? I've been fighting like crazy, okay? I almost self-destructed just now!"
Seeing the Little Turtle jumping and hopping in a fit of rage, the Crazy Old Man belatedly realized that it was indeed badly injured, but this also made him wonder.
"You think a mere Saint Beast could hurt you?"
