Chapter 662: Chapter 661: It’s Hard to Guard Against a Thief in the Family

It took a full two hours for Su Yang to finally transform all that Spiritual Energy.

By this time, the little one had clearly given up, sprawled on Su Yang’s shoulder, fast asleep with a snoring purr.

However, the little one’s body was already beginning to shine, showing the considerable benefits it had gained from the Spiritual Liquid just now.

Su Yang sat beside it, watching with a speechless expression.

After all, this Spiritual Liquid was condensed from the Spiritual Energy of the surrounding hundred miles.

The Four Great Spiritual Jades could barely withstand the pressure of the Spiritual Energy, which testified to the potency of the Spiritual Liquid.

If Su Yang had swallowed all of it, his strength would definitely have improved further.

If it were based on Su Yang’s previous pace of cultivation, he might have even been able to attempt reaching the Earthly Immortal Realm.

However, after his last battle with Ye Jiansheng, Su Yang had changed his cultivation approach.

In that fight with Ye Jiansheng, the Sword Saint had suppressed his power to be on par with Su Yang. As a result, Su Yang’s once proud strength could hardly withstand a single move from the Sword Saint.

Su Yang clearly felt that the power used by Ye Jiansheng was not even as strong as his own. Yet, he was unable to withstand Ye Jiansheng’s attacks.

Afterward, Ye Jiansheng told Su Yang that the reason he had such strength was that he reached Great Perfection in every realm.

Looking at himself, although Su Yang was advancing rapidly, he had not achieved Great Perfection in any realm. He just moved quickly to the next realm as soon as he had the power, which, although fast in improving realms, left each realm’s foundation somewhat unstable.

Su Yang’s current situation was manageable against average opponents, but facing true masters, an unstable foundation could lead to great peril.

Especially as Su Yang was getting increasingly close to the Earthly Immortal Realm, he felt more and more the instability of his foundation. Therefore, he could only slow down his entry into the Earthly Immortal Realm and focus on solidifying his foundation first.

If he could achieve Great Perfection in every realm like Ye Jiansheng, then entering the Land of Immortals would yield an entirely different effect.

While pondering these things, Su Yang reached out and poked the Little Turtle. The little creature comfortably turned over, completely ignoring Su Yang’s mood and continuing to sleep soundly, snoring away and occasionally grinding its teeth, which left Su Yang completely dumbfounded.

Su Yang didn’t go out to cultivate either, since he had absorbed the Spiritual Energy from within a hundred miles radius. If he wanted to continue his cultivation, he would have to go further than a hundred miles away.

After resting for the night, early the next day, Su Yang was awakened by Qi’er’s exclamation from downstairs, "My goodness, there’s been a thief in the house!"

Su Yang hurried downstairs. This was a Longshui Bay Luxury Villa, where the security was extremely strict; it was highly unlikely for any petty thief to break in.

Besides, Su Yang had been sleeping upstairs. If someone had managed to steal under his very nose, then it wasn’t just any petty thief—they could be a formidable Great Thief.

Rushing downstairs, just as Qi’er came out of the kitchen, Su Yang quickly asked, "Where did the thief break in? What was stolen?"

"The kitchen," Qi’er replied with indignant anger. "The breakfast ingredients I prepared last night, the freshly bought tomatoes, and some fruit, they’re all gone, with debris all over the floor. What kind of thief sneaks into the kitchen to steal food and then leaves such a mess?"

Su Yang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. A thief that stole food? Why did that sound so familiar?

At this moment, a chorus of chirping and chattering sounds came from outside the door.

"Little Sparrow is back!" Qi’er immediately rushed out, followed by a shrill scream, "Oh my God, who ate Little Sparrow’s bird food? What kind of thief is this?"

Su Yang felt an impulse to vomit blood, and he hurried to the upstairs room, searching everywhere, until finally, he followed the snoring sound and found it under the bed. There, he discovered Little Turtle lying on his back, sound asleep with loud snores reverberating.

The little guy had grown quite a bit overnight, now about the size of a palm. But his sleeping posture was even more unconstrained, with limbs stretched out towards the sky, his head sticking out from the shell and hanging off to the side, snoring incessantly, his soft cheek puffing in and out. His pink tongue periodically stuck out to lick his lips, mumbling a few times, as if savoring something delicious.

The little fellow was covered in a red liquid, which was obviously tomato sauce. There were also some bits of other food ingredients around him—all undeniable evidence!

Slapping his forehead, Su Yang’s guess was spot on; it was indeed this little guy who was the thief. In the dead of night, it had gone down to the kitchen to steal food, making it seem like a burglar had entered the house.

What was key, however, was that the little guy had also eaten the bird food from the cage, which left Su Yang even more speechless.

He picked up the little guy and shook him vigorously to wake him up.

The little turtle looked at Su Yang in confusion, his eyes still drowsy and wanting to sleep, but a firm tap on his shell from Su Yang completely woke him up.

"How hungry are you, exactly? Come on, tell me, how hungry are you really?" Su Yang said, with a face full of disappointment, "It’s bad enough that you stole food in the middle of the night, but you even ate the bird food? Are you planning to fly now or what?"

After saying this, Su Yang felt it might not be appropriate since this little guy could indeed fly.

"Do you want to grow wings or what!" Su Yang said, tapping the little guy’s shell.

The little turtle had a confused expression, not understanding what Su Yang meant. However, it was quickly distracted by the bird calls from outside and clumsily hurried to the window, jumping straight down.

"Ouch!" A cry of surprise came from Qi’er downstairs, "You... you... what are you doing?"

Su Yang felt like he was about to cough up blood—what on earth was the little guy up to now?

Without even taking the time to go downstairs, he jumped straight out of the window, only to see the little guy scrambling into the birdcage, chasing after a small sparrow inside. Its mouth opening and closing, it looked as if it wanted to eat the little sparrow right there and then.

The little sparrow was frantically running and calling, being chased by Little Turtle, but the sparrow was no pushover itself. While swiftly dodging, it kept pecking at the little guy with its sharp beak.

Little Turtle slowed down after being pecked a couple of times, clearly in pain. Seizing the opportunity, the little sparrow escaped to Qi’er’s shoulder, chirping defiantly at Little Turtle from there.

Qi’er looked at Little Turtle with a face full of panic, obviously unclear about how the creature got there in the first place.

But Little Turtle wasn’t afraid of people and was still staring straight at the little sparrow on Qi’er’s shoulder, as if looking for an opportunity to swallow it whole.

Su Yang felt his head spinning. What exactly had he brought home? Was it so gluttonous?

He quickly ran over, grabbed the little guy, and without deliberation, picked him up by his shell.

Little Turtle’s limbs flailed wildly, but he couldn’t break free from Su Yang’s grip, and he eventually just gave up. He stretched out his little head and affectionately rubbed it against Su Yang’s hand, leaving him with mixed feelings of frustration and fondness.
