CHAPTER 1609: CHAPTER 1608: DID YOU REALLY THINK I DIDN’T KNOW?

"B-Boss!"

Dragon Fang was terrified of getting beaten by Little Profound Turtle. This guy would come over and beat Dragon Fang violently whenever slightly displeased, almost every day, leaving Dragon Fang no time to gnaw on the Plain Blade Soul Cutter.

Moreover, Little Profound Turtle declared that if Dragon Fang didn’t acknowledge her as the boss for a day, she would keep causing trouble for him.

Indeed, it was bullying, but Dragon Fang was helpless. After all, he was no match for the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron; he couldn’t even withstand a spiritual sense from it. Dragon Fang knew well that the ancient nature of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron was beyond his comprehension, likely being one of those legendary artifacts from the Ancient Era.

So after getting beaten multiple times, Dragon Fang had no choice but to swallow his pride and call Little Profound Turtle the boss; only then could he avoid getting beaten again.

Compared to Dragon Fang’s ordeal, Master Qingxu wasn’t doing much better. Previously, he only needed to follow Dragon Fang’s orders. But now, with Little Profound Turtle as the boss, he had to take orders from two people.

As a result, he was caught in the middle and extremely uncomfortable.

Because Little Profound Turtle had said that in the future, he was not allowed to obey Dragon Fang’s orders, but how could Master Qingxu dare to disobey Dragon Fang?

When Little Profound Turtle ventured into the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, he dared not disobey Dragon Fang’s orders. But if Little Profound Turtle found out, he would be beaten by her.

Master Qingxu was well aware of his predicament. He couldn’t afford to offend either Little Profound Turtle or Dragon Fang. If he complained to Lin Chen over such a small matter, greater troubles would likely arise, making life inside the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron even more unbearable.

So for the time being, he could only swallow his grievances.

After all, both Little Profound Turtle and Dragon Fang exercised some restraint and wouldn’t actually take Master Qingxu’s life. Moreover, in the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, as long as Master Qingxu’s Divine Soul was intact, the cauldron could reconstruct his soul.

Thus, for the sake of survival, Master Qingxu had no choice but to accept the current situation.

"Lin Chen, you’ve gained a lot this time. I initially thought you’d be unable to survive on that continent, forced to flee with your tail between your legs, but I didn’t expect you to acquire so many treasures."

Dragon Fang saw Lin Chen sorting through the treasures and immediately swaggered over, sitting down beside Lin Chen and watching with great interest as he spoke to him.

"Xiao Jian, get lost. What do you think you are? Do you even have a say here?"

However, just as Dragon Fang was about to exchange a few polite words with Lin Chen and see if he could snatch one or two treasures, Little Profound Turtle suddenly came over, coldly telling Dragon Fang. She also gave Dragon Fang a fierce glare.

"You little bastard, know your limits. Do you really think I’m afraid of you? Are you done yet, really considering yourself someone important?"

Upon hearing Little Profound Turtle’s words, Dragon Fang was instantly enraged, unable to stop himself from exploding.

Bang—

However, just as Dragon Fang finished speaking, Little Profound Turtle soared into the air, landing a turtle claw on its Sword Spirit, instantly knocking Dragon Fang’s Instrument Spirit dozens of miles away.

"You!"

Although Dragon Fang was extremely frustrated, when he tried to muster his power, he realized that the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron indeed still restricted his power. Even in this world, he still couldn’t exert his full strength, so he had to submit.

For now, he could only endure, or else if he continued to stand firm, he would only suffer more.

"Boss, don’t be mad. I was wrong just now, misspoke in the heat of the moment. Please forgive me, Boss."

After being knocked away, Dragon Fang had no choice but to force a smile, flying over to Little Profound Turtle, and said.

"Hmph, your smile looks so fake, your words betray your heart, and your smile is too ugly."

Little Profound Turtle looked at Dragon Fang, full of discontent, and said.

"It infuriates me! That damn little bastard..."

Dragon Fang cursed inwardly, yet he dared not act out, no matter how angry he was inside, eager to fight Little Profound Turtle.

But past lessons told him he could only endure, as even if he fought Little Profound Turtle, he wouldn’t gain any advantage.

At this moment, Lin Chen had no intention of meddling in their affairs, and Dragon Fang quickly calmed down. He didn’t want Lin Chen to see him getting beaten by Little Profound Turtle, as it would damage his future image in front of Lin Chen.

Thus, Dragon Fang immediately changed his expression again, making his forced smile appear more genuine, and with a series of flattering words, finally made Little Profound Turtle stop holding a grudge over his previous words.

Lin Chen, on the side, never once spoke, silently watching Dragon Fang being humiliated at Little Profound Turtle’s hands. In fact, Lin Chen was inwardly very satisfied because Dragon Fang, in the past, often put on airs in front of him, which Lin Chen found quite annoying. He had long wanted to give Dragon Fang a good beating, but had never found the opportunity. Now, Little Profound Turtle avenged him.

Moreover, now that Dragon Fang was beaten by Little Profound Turtle, it wouldn’t be Lin Chen’s fault. Even if Dragon Fang wanted revenge later, it would be against Little Profound Turtle.

As of now, given Dragon Fang’s arrogant nature, even if he got beaten by Little Profound Turtle, he would never complain to Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, these treasures must be worth quite a few Spirit Crystals. We should quickly sell them off and exchange them for Spirit Crystals."

Little Profound Turtle excitedly said, looking at the many treasures before them.

It’s important to know that the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron had opened a backdoor for her. If Lin Chen could illuminate a few more star maps, her cultivation realm would significantly improve, perhaps even reaching the next upgrade.

So now, in terms of illuminating those star maps, Little Profound Turtle was more invested than Lin Chen.

However, just as Little Profound Turtle finished speaking, Lin Chen directly knocked on her head with a punch.

"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Do you really think you can hide the fact that the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron opened a backdoor for you from me? Why do you think you could escape my scrutiny?"

Lin Chen gazed at Little Profound Turtle and coldly said on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Little Profound Turtle was instantly a bit guilty.

The star map power from the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, if massively absorbed, would also affect its self-repair, so the cauldron was not stupid. How could it open a backdoor for Little Profound Turtle for no reason?

All of this was because Little Profound Turtle had secretly made a deal with the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.
