Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 828 - 772: How Could Things Be So Coincidental

"What’s going on?" Feeling constrained by some kind of law, Yan Xuan groggily got up.

The Sealing Array that had previously pinned her down seemed to have vanished, allowing her to move her body with a sense of dreaming.

Jiang Yuan clicked to store her in the pet slot, and bowed to Master Faxuan, "Please rest assured, Master. I will have the Fierce Beast Yan Xuan atone for her sins by bringing benefit to all living beings. Sorry for today’s disturbance; I’ll visit again another day."

Witnessing the great trouble suppressed for over seven thousand years in the temple could indeed escape the seal on its own, only to be taken away with a wave of a hand.

Master Faxuan let out a long breath, bowed, and said, "Patron Jiang, you are most kind. On behalf of Cold Spring Temple, Cold Spring City, and all beings in the world, I thank you. Should you need anything in the future, please ask, and Cold Spring Temple will spare no effort as long as it doesn’t break our vows!"

"You flatter me, Master." Jiang Yuan politely returned the bow, bid farewell, and teleported to the small courtyard.

It was still over two hours before dawn, and the courtyard members, busy improving their strengths, hadn’t returned. The yard was quiet, with only lights on.

He checked the pet interface and noticed that besides being drunk, Yan Xuan now had a sleep tag. After the seal was lifted and she felt relaxed, she naturally went to sleep in the pet slot.

Her drunkenness would take some time to wear off, so Jiang Yuan took the opportunity to enter the Mysterious Cave to earn points.

He stayed there until the sky began to brighten, then returned, stepping out over the vast ocean to release his newly acquired, sobered-up pet.

Yan Xuan had not fully regained her senses since the first blow.

The system specifically issued a special weapon for her. Jiang Yuan, inexperienced in using it, hit a bit hard. Her head was buzzing when she opened her eyes; she hadn’t even noticed her last natal item was taken. Another jar of high-proof Spiritual Wine sent her into a drunken stupor.

What followed was another blow, with both an elder and a young one teaming up for a harsh beating.

Now with only a third of her health bar left, body covered in wounds, barely rested before being tossed into the icy sea water.

Fortunately, her thick hide kept her puzzled, her great body floating like a mountain.

Then she heard a familiar voice, "What’s with that accent? Can’t you speak without dialect?"

Looking down, she saw an "old friend" standing on the water, dwarfed by her presence.

Instinctively wanting to retort, thinking she could speak however she wanted, whether they liked it or not.

But as the thought crossed her mind, a ring of light appeared on her body, and the mysterious power of the law made it impossible to resist her master’s reasonable request.

Reluctantly, Yan Xuan pawed the water, dunked her head to clear her mind, filled with questions but unaware of where to start, only to find herself forced to respond to the question first.

With a huff and pout, she slowly began, "I can speak without an accent. At that time... I was still young, newly conscious, understanding nothing, wandering to an Island.

The Demon Beast tribe there spoke like this, and a Little Demon Cultivator mistook me for a regular sea turtle, chatted with me daily, and that’s how I learned."

Speaking without dialect made her speech slower, and easier to discern the thunderous sound.

"It’s good to speak that way from now on. You need to shrink your body again before entering the house with me." Jiang Yuan sighed in relief, thinking it had nothing to do with travelers since it was the language of a whole tribe.

The accent, resembling Sichuan dialect, often gave him a "hometown" illusion.

He preferred not to mix the Wilderness World with the real world, especially when more time was clearly spent here, as confusing them would be troublesome.

Like in Inception, not allowing Dream Builders to create real-world scenes to avoid eventually confusing reality with dreams.

"Alright... Langsheng, what’s happened to you? Was the reincarnation unsuccessful?" She tilted her head, observing his frail figure, and sighed, "While I was sealed, you were my biggest worry.

Without Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to extend your lifespan and lacking opportunities for advancement, especially with Demon Beast Ascension techniques lost. I feared as your lifespan ended, what would happen? I was stuck for a while, fearing we’d never meet again. But after all these years, you still remember to rescue me."

Jiang Yuan: ???

"Do you have me mistaken for someone else?" He gestured for her to quickly shrink, smiling lightly, "But I did come to rescue you; see, I’ve taken you home."

Yan Xuan wanted to stubbornly keep her large form, but was no match for the law’s constraints, obediently shrinking.

In breaths, the mountain shrank to a mini version with a shell diameter of just over two meters.

"Aren’t you Langsheng?"

"Hmm? You’re a lady... Oh no, female?!"

A person and a tortoise stared wide-eyed, both taken aback.

"If not Langsheng, how did you know about my natal item? And how did you know I love Eight Treasures Spiritual Wine? Only he knew those secrets!"

Jiang Yuan thought, how would I know, the system told me.

But even the system didn’t identify the future Divine Beast Black Tortoise, currently the sinful world spirit, as a female tortoise!

"My surname is Jiang, like ginger. You can call me sir or master. You are now my newly acquired Spirit Pet. We agreed that I’d take you from the seal, and you’d obediently follow my words."

Jiang Yuan didn’t impose other demands on Old Dog, but for the fierce beast that consistently sought to resist law constraints, it was crucial she knew who was in charge.
