My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome

Shao Zifeng sat on Qiuqiu's back, gazing at the endless sea of trees below, his expression growing increasingly strange.

"Goddess, why do I feel like we've already left the Great Xia? Where are we headed?"

The little deer standing on Qiuqiu's head turned around, its long white hair fluttering in the wind. A snake-shaped rune flickered between its antlers, and the Goddess's voice soon followed, "Of course we're going to the North Sea. You haven't been to the North Sea before, have you?"

"The North Sea?" Shao Zifeng thought hard, "Do you mean the Arctic Ocean?"

The Goddess fell silent for a while, her tone laced with impatience, "What Arctic Ocean? I do not know of it, hmph."

After speaking, She stopped paying attention to Shao Zifeng and turned to look at the fog-shrouded mountain range ahead, her snow-white robe rustling in the wind.

Shao Zifeng pursed his lips, thinking that if she didn't know, then she didn't know— why get irritated over it?

After flying for an indeterminate amount of time, Shao Zifeng's eyes were dazzled by the reflection of the water. Looking ahead, he saw a vast expanse of forest interwoven with an azure lake, the waters clear as a gemstone under the sunlight.

Staring at the elongated lake, Shao Zifeng was taken aback for a long time, "Isn't this Lake Baikal? If I remember correctly, it seems to be part of Rash Country."

In Shao Zifeng's recollection, Lake Baikal belonged to Great Xia for a long period of time over the past millennium, but the royal family of the previous dynasty had been too weak and incapable, ceding Lake Baikal to Rash Country.

Thus, for the people of Great Xia more than three hundred years later, their first reaction when mentioning Lake Baikal was Rash Country.

"Hmph, what Lake Baikal," the Goddess turned her head with a disdainful snort, "The North Sea has always been a vast pasture and hunting ground for the people of Donghuang. It was under the jurisdiction of the North Sea Goddess. I just don't know if the being sealed inside now is Her."

Whoosh—

Qiuqiu folded its wings and dove towards the surface, its long tail grazing the water and throwing up a splash of white foam. Startled fish leaped out, their scales reflecting the sunlight in a spectacular display.

After landing on the shore, Qiuqiu quickly shrunk and climbed onto Shao Zifeng's shoulder, excitedly watching the school of fish it had startled, giggling.

Patting the little creature's head, Shao Zifeng looked at the fawn possessed by the Goddess, "Goddess, what should we do next?"

The Goddess took a few steps forward, her eyes glittering with a spectrum of halos, and the antlers on the little deer's forehead erupted with a dazzling white light unlike anything seen before.

Boom boom boom!

The glittering surface of the water exploded, sending countless fish into the sky. Lake Baikal's azure surface heaved with towering waves that took a long time to subside.

The crystal-clear water rippled as if nothing had happened.

Shao Zifeng, holding Qiuqiu, said with puzzlement, "Goddess, have you got the wrong place..."

Before he could finish, a whirlpool suddenly formed at the center of Lake Baikal, growing larger and larger, with a vast shadow passing underneath.

In Shao Zifeng's gaze, the surface of the lake suddenly bulged, rising higher and higher like a towering mountain, as the surging water repeatedly washed over the shores.

Beneath the lake, two eyes as large as carriages lit up, and a thunderous voice boomed, "Who dares to intrude upon the sacred retreat of the North Sea Goddess?"

A tangible pressure bore down, making Qiuqiu jump out of Shao Zifeng's arms and resume its true form, letting out a roar towards the rising water.

At this moment, the little deer stepped forward, its hooves entwined in vines, lifting its body slowly up into the air.

Simultaneously, the snake-shaped rune on the fawn's forehead lit up, and the antlers shone brightly, with the apparition of the Goddess materializing overhead, her majestic gaze fixed on the lake below.

"Mysterious Turtle, I am the Goddess," she announced.

Splash!

The bulging surface of the water suddenly collapsed, revealing the massive body underneath.

It was an immense black turtle, the angular shell covered in all sorts of encrusted shells, but its dragon-like head was already rotting, revealing sinister white bones underneath. As the water receded, the pungent stench of decay spread across the surface of the lake.

Nüwa's tone changed slightly, "Mysterious Turtle, why have you become like this?"

"Nü... Nüwa, Your Excellency." Its hollow eyes shimmered with a strange light, and its trembling voice was filled with excitement, "Your Excellency Nüwa... this old turtle has finally waited for you."

"Please save the Goddess, Your Excellency," it pleaded.

Shao Zifeng narrowed his eyes, with blue specks of light swirling in his peripheral vision.

Known for its kind and amiable nature and its fondness for aiding the weak, it is said to possess the power to seal the heavens and the earth. When it releases the legendary tenth 'Pillar of Heaven,' even gods can be sealed within it.

Blood Feast.

Upon seeing this talent, Shao Zifeng's pupils shrank as memories long buried in his mind resurfaced. The last time he encountered this talent was shortly after he had become a Combat Training Master, when the head of the Dragon City's Underground Management Department met his death, and his pet, the Shadow Servant, in a desperate attempt to save its master, became an obsession, causing much trouble.

Now that this talent had appeared in the North Sea Divine Turtle, Shao Zifeng felt somewhat uneasy. He bowed his head slightly and called out to Nüwa in his heart.

Nüwa's phantom lowered her head, her eyes flickering with multicolored radiance as she gave Shao Zifeng a faint glance before speaking, "Mysterious Turtle, you mentioned that the lady of the North Sea is in trouble, what is her current condition?"

The North Sea Mysterious Turtle's skull was jarringly white, and as it opened its mouth, decayed flesh fell from its lower jawbone: "Your Excellency Nüwa, the Goddess has been seriously injured trying to save me, and it has been this old turtle using its own essence to nurture her all these years."

The North Sea Mysterious Turtle sobbed, "This old turtle is already dead, but I truly can't rest easy leaving my master behind... I beg Your Excellency Nüwa, for the sake of our past connection with my master, to lend your aid."

"Old Turtle, I am deeply grateful!!"
