Chapter 198: Discovered a ten-thousand-year-old turtle 1
Su Qingluo’s eyebrows were tightly knitted, “How long until the water overflows the dam?”
Little Kingfisher replied gloomily, “At most two Shichen.”
“That’s alright, my mother and the others can still make it up the mountain.” Su Qingluo felt relieved, “Continue to monitor the situation and inform me of any updates.”
“Alright, I found a ten-thousand-year-old turtle by following it all the way to the dam. It’s hiding underwater, pretending to be innocent, not daring to show its face.’
Little Kingfisher chuckled, “It thinks that if it doesn’t show its face, I won’t be able to do anything. What a joke! I will definitely chase it out of the water.” Su Qingluo helplessly massaged her forehead, “Don’t get carried away and forget the important matters.”
“Yes, yes, I understand that.”
Little Kingfisher promptly agreed and instantly cut off the telepathic communication.
Ai, this guy is still so playful even at a time like this.
Su Qingluo shook her head helplessly, trying to focus her mind on carrying the Little Prince into the pouring rain.
Grandma Liu can’t move quickly. The rain falls heavily, making the ground slippery. Just as they started climbing the mountain, she almost fell, but luckily, Jiyu managed to catch her just in time to prevent her from falling off the rocks.
Considering Grandma Liu’s age, Su Qingluo purposely slowed down, carrying the Little Prince by her side so she could help her if needed.
Little Prince nestled in his sister’s arms, his big, bright eyes glancing around curiously, showing no signs of nervousness while climbing the cliff.
The cave isn’t far from the riverbank, but the steepness of the cliffs makes climbing very difficult.
Grandma Liu climbed with both her hands and feet, but soon gasped for breath, her legs quivering as if she couldn’t hold on any longer.
Jifeng and Jiyu exchanged glances, each grabbing one of her arms and, using their extraordinary lightness skills, climbed up the rocks.
“Ahhhhhhhh….”
Grandma Liu’s screams of horror echoed throughout the mountain valley.
“Xuan’er, hold on to sister tightly, let’s go up too.”
Su Qingluo chuckled, gathering her energy to follow, nimbly scaling and leaping across the rocks like a Spirit Monkey.
“Sister, flying!”
Little Prince’s vision blurred as he thought his sister seemed to be flying, the rocks zooming downward before his eyes.
In no time, Grandma Liu’s terrified screams vanished above them, and Su Qingluo safely brought the Little Prince to the cave entrance.
“Ouch, my old waist, it’s almost broken.”
As soon as they stepped into the cave, Grandma Liu collapsed on the ground, still in shock.
Jifeng and Jiyu, the two Imperial Shadow Guards, remained expressionless as they took out a Night Pearl from their bosoms to light the way.
“Grandma Liu, Brother Da Zhuang and Brother Er Zhuang did it for your own good,” Su Qingluo said as she walked into the cave, holding the Little Prince and laughing while helping her up. “The cliffs are steep, and if you slipped and fell, breaking an arm or leg, it would be a huge trouble.”
“Ah, yes, yes, I know that. It’s just that my legs are shivering, and I can’t control them.”
Grandma Liu stood up, her legs still trembling like a pendulum, never stopping.
Jifeng and Jiyu exchanged glances once more, instinctively reaching out their hands again.
“Ah, no need, no need, I’ll walk on my own,” Grandma Liu said, shuddering from head to toe. Fighting the discomfort, she leaned on the stone wall, taking one step at a time.
“Woof, woof, woof.’
Upon hearing the commotion at the entrance, the three big dogs raced over, barking enthusiastically and circling around the Little Prince.
“Sister, let me down. I can walk by myself,” said Little Prince, who rarely left his sister’s side. He took out three pieces of milk candy from his little cloth bag and stuffed them into the mouths of the three big dogs.
“It’s dark in the cave, so be careful when you run,” Su Qingluo gently advised as she bent down to let him go.
“Woof, woof, woof.’
Seeing Little Prince get down, the three big dogs got even more excited, smacking their lips while eating the milk candy, drooling all over and wagging their tails as if they were about to break off..
