Chapter 531: Chapter 531: It Wants to Be the Most Dominant Turtle

The system turtle lay on the table, having just recovered from the feeling of escaping the fox’s mouth, when it heard her initiate a conversation.

Slowly stretching its neck, the turtle glanced at her with a touch of arrogance and continued to play dead.

Humans, don’t even think about getting a word about the Heavenly Dao from its mouth!

Scarlett Jennings noticed it was silent again, raised her eyebrows slightly, and pretended to be serious,

“Looks like you prefer playing with the little pretty one.”

She said this while acting as if to call the little fox.

The system turtle instantly stretched its neck long in a swipe,

[You want to ask me things, but you don’t even have the basic attitude. Do you still expect me to answer you?!]

It was already progress for it to speak directly, so Scarlett wasn’t stingy about listening to it say more,

“What kind of attitude do you want?”

[I want a new host!]

The system repeated its old tune, and Scarlett almost refused without thinking,

“I told you, it’s impossible for me to bind with you, and not just me—it’s impossible for anyone else, too. Don’t even think about it.”

As Scarlett said this, she straightforwardly pinched the turtle shell and turned its body around as if the conversation had broken down.

However, the system, seeing itself being turned around, immediately huffed and puffed to turn back itself.

[If not a new person, then a new body will do!]

The system grew more dissatisfied with its current body the more it looked at it.

It’s ugly.

It crawls slowly.

“For example?”

Scarlett was curious about what kind of body it wanted after hearing it wanted to change bodies.

If it’s not an excessive request, it’s not unnegotiable.

The system’s electronic voice, utterly serious, declared,

[I want to change into a crocodile tortoise!]

Even Scarlett was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

She originally thought the system wanted to get rid of its turtle identity, never expecting it to want to change its turtle species?

But, a crocodile tortoise?

What’s that?

Casually grabbing her phone, Scarlett quickly searched for information on crocodile tortoises.

Then she fell silent.

Not to mention the crocodile tortoise’s prehistoric beast-like appearance, just the introduction to the crocodile tortoise alone—

One of the most ferocious turtles, large in size, with a back armor that can grow over 70 CM long, strong biting force, and even actively attacking people…

Scarlett would have to be crazy to change it into such a body.

But she was curious why the system suddenly wanted such a body.

Nearby, Sophie Harper quickly answered her question.

“Recently, Ismeria Jennings has been playing some turtle documentaries for it occasionally, and the crocodile tortoise appeared in them.”

Yes.

The system was instantly captivated by the crocodile tortoise’s appearance.

Fierce, domineering, and gigantic!

That’s how a turtle overlord should be.

The system wasn’t exactly willing to be a turtle, but if it had to be one, it wanted to be the most domineering crocodile tortoise.

Once its back armor grew to 70 centimeters, let’s see if that pesky fox could still grab it like a toy and run amok.

Scarlett looked at the small palm-sized turtle with complex emotions, unable to tell if this was the system’s dream or the turtle’s dream itself.

Although it seemed absurd, Scarlett decided to feign agreement with the system to coax some useful information from it.

At worst, she could lock it in a cage when the time came.

“Alright, I agree.”

The moment Scarlett finished speaking, the system’s turtle head seemed to sway proudly, but the next second, it suddenly froze.

Scarlett noticed that the system suddenly excitedly crawled toward a certain spot on the desk and pointed excitedly at the almost-complete Benedict Jade piece, its voice trembling with excitement,

[I changed my mind! I don’t want the crocodile tortoise; I want this body!]

It wanted to bind with this jade!

Not to mention the spiritual energy overflowing from the Benedict Jade body; more importantly, it sensed an extraordinary aura from this jade piece.

It seemed to carry a summoning power, suggesting that if it could reside in this jade piece, it could return to its peak state.

But the system’s overly eager reaction only raised suspicion in Scarlett’s mind. She’d never agree to the swap without a catch.

Before the system could touch the Benedict Jade piece, Scarlett lifted her hand and decisively put away the piece that was about to be completed.

The system seemed to notice her attitude and, for once, felt a bit agitated,

[Let me bind with the jade, and I’ll tell you everything you want to know.]

Scarlett’s expression grew calm at its words, and she glanced at it without hesitation, refusing flatly,

“Impossible.”

As the one carving the Benedict Jade piece, Scarlett knew its special nature all too well.

Especially when carving the patterns on the Benedict turtle shell, her spiritual power was consumed at an extraordinary speed every time.

This jade piece had issues.

She knew.

Following the system’s attitude toward it, Scarlett became even more confident in her suspicions.

Knowing it was special, she certainly wouldn’t casually let the system bind with it.

Seeing her unmoved, the system knew it wouldn’t loosen up unless it let something slip, so it gritted its teeth and said,

[Haven’t you always wanted to know about the other world and those reborn souls? I can tell you about that.]

“More than that, I’m currently more interested in what you sensed from this jade piece?”

She looked at the system turtle,

“Give me a reason why you must bind with it.”

The system knew its previous reaction had caught Scarlett’s attention, yet it couldn’t control itself.

Of course, it couldn’t admit that this thing could potentially help it restore lost system energy, so it bluntly said,

[I’ve sensed a similar aura on that young Chalmers person before. I originally wanted to bind with him but you wouldn’t let me; is it too much to ask for a substitute to bind with?]

Scarlett’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat at its words.

It referred to Samuel Chalmers.

She was surprised that the system provided a completely different clue before she even had a chance to inquire.

But… Samuel Chalmers and a not yet formed Benedict Jade piece.

Why do they have a similar aura?

What’s the connection between this and the Golden Light on Samuel Chalmers?

Scarlett couldn’t understand, but the system refused to answer further.

Unless she gave it the jade to bind with.

There was no way Scarlett would.

Talking about substitutes… only a fool would buy that.

However, this gave her a new line of thought.

Perhaps, once the Benedict Jade piece was complete, she could also find some answers concerning the Golden Light on Samuel Chalmers.

Resolute, Scarlett grabbed the system turtle on the desk and handed it to Sophie Harper to take away, while she set up a barrier inside the room again.

She planned to finish the Benedict Jade piece in one go.

…

Early the next day, at the Chalmers Family.

Samuel Chalmers had just finished breakfast and was about to head out.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the villa’s entrance, he sensed a familiar Fire Thunder aura overhead.

His dark eyes deepened, and just as he was about to act, he sensed something amiss in the next second.

As if realizing something, he suddenly turned his head.

Under the clear sky, a Fire Thunder struck down without warning, exploding grandiosely upon the Jennings Family’s rooftop…

And the spot where the Fire Thunder landed, precise and unerring, was Scarlett Jennings’ room.

Samuel Chalmers’ pupils suddenly contracted,

In the next instant, his figure flickered, disappearing from the spot in an instant.
