Chapter 395 Surely they're not going to come home with us, are they?

How did this turtle manage to remove the restriction she placed on itself so quickly?

The fact that it kept staring at her while she cried made her feel even stranger.

It felt as if I had done something to offend it.

[Master, this tortoise also possesses spiritual energy and should be cultivating as well. It's currently in the early stage of Core Formation, two levels higher than you.]

Xiao Yuan answered.

Therefore, it would be very easy for the other party to remove the restriction placed on Qiao Qiao.

Even dealing with Qiao Qiao would be very easy.

However, judging from the series of actions the other party just took, it not only had no intention of attacking Qiao Qiao, but also kept trying to get closer to her, and even released a level signal to her.

This means the other party is expressing complete trust.

Otherwise, one should act like that person with mixed spiritual energy before, hiding it and not letting it probe into the details.

Moreover, if the other party hadn't taken the initiative to open up, given the difference in their levels, they would have had no chance of finding out the other party's true strength.

Xiao Yuan explained all of this to Qiao Qiao.

However, Qiao Qiao was concerned about something else.

"Can turtles cultivate?" she asked.

Of course, regardless of location, turtles are considered creatures capable of cultivating a sacred body; turtles that are over a hundred years old generally have a foundation in cultivation.

"Does it recognize me because it looks like this? But I never saw it in my past life." Qiao Qiao tried hard to recall, confirming that she did not have a pet in her past life.

【Xiao Yuan doesn't know either.】 Xiao Yuan, somewhat curious, tilted the two tiny buds at the top of Qiao Qiao's head and looked down at the big turtle below.

The turtle is really big; if it were placed at the bottom of the stairs, it could block all the way up and down the stairs.

However, it has truly become sentient.

After trying for a while and realizing that I couldn't climb the stairs, I stopped blocking the way and instead stood on the bottom step, leaning against the railing.

With its huge head held high, it stared longingly upstairs.

Seeing that it wouldn't actually hurt anyone, some people became bolder and tried to approach it. Some children, being mischievous, even tried to climb onto its back.

However, at this time, the giant tortoise will stretch its neck, open its mouth wide, and reveal its sharp teeth, baring its teeth fiercely at anyone who tries to approach it.

If that's not enough of a deterrent, it will turn its head and bite off the thick wooden stick next to its head that serves as a stair railing.

Seeing how it kept others away, no one dared to guarantee that it wouldn't hurt anyone, so they stopped getting close.

Upstairs, in the private room where Qiao Qiao and her group were having dinner.

Wang Chun had changed into an outfit that a saleswoman had bought temporarily at a department store, and her hair had been dried.

He and Wangwang each carried a bowl as they walked out of the private room where they had been eating.

The two squatted at the corner of the stairwell, eating while peering down through the gap between the stairs.

He would occasionally go back to the private room to report: "Sister, sister, that old bastard hasn't left yet, he's still waiting for you downstairs."

When the two men sent the message for the fifth time, Qiao Qiao had finished her meal and finally couldn't hold back any longer. She looked up at Qiao Changdong and said, "Dad, I want to go and see."

Qiao Changdong was a little worried.

"Dad, I'll just stay upstairs and look around, I won't go down," Qiao Qiao said, then whispered a few more words in his ear.

But when Qiao Changdong heard that the turtle was also cultivating and possessed spiritual power, he became even more worried.

He can't even handle Shen Qingyan now, does he really need another old bastard to come along?!

But Qiao Changdong couldn't bear to refuse his daughter, so when he saw that she wanted to go, he got up and followed behind her.

Qiao Qiao walked to the top of the stairs, held onto the wooden railing, and peered down.

It's truly amazing.

The moment Qiao Qiao looked down, the turtle downstairs, which had been lying with its head down, seemed to sense her gaze and raised its big head.

Its dark, sparkling eyes stared at her. Qiao Qiao could even see its short, chubby little tail wagging wildly behind it, just like a dog's tail.

Upon seeing Qiao Qiao, the turtle started to get restless again, pawing at its big claws, wanting to climb the stairs once more.

Unfortunately, its body and its slippery shell are really not suitable for climbing. It will slide down as soon as it manages to climb up a step.

But it seemed tireless, looking up at her and climbing ever higher.

The hotel's stair railings were made of wood, but the steps were made of tile. It kept scratching at the steps, and soon its claws had scratched several cuts on the edge of the steps.

Its skin is brown, and the cuts that are first made are white, then quickly turn light red.

Qiao Qiao had no idea why it was so persistent.

However, in order not to worry Qiao Changdong, Qiao Qiao, full of curiosity, did not go down. Instead, she followed the two older boys for a while before being pulled back by Fu Yu, who had finished eating.

This meal took two hours to finish.

After the meal, the restaurant manager came over again to apologize, bringing three exquisite boxes as he sincerely addressed them.

"Comrades, I am truly sorry for this accident today. This is a small token of our appreciation. It contains our newly released Pu'er tea. We hope you will accept it with pleasure."

As the hotel manager spoke, he handed three exquisite boxes to Qiao Changdong, Wang Zhenhua, and Wang Xinghua respectively.

Although this happened quite suddenly today.

This really gave Qiao Changdong a big fright.

But the restaurant wasn't to blame, and since the restaurant's apology was quite sincere, Qiao Changdong didn't pursue the matter further and accepted the tea gift box offered by the restaurant manager.

Wang Zhenhua and Wang Xinghua, who were standing nearby, only accepted the gift box from the hotel manager after seeing that Qiao Changdong had accepted the apology.

I've accepted the restaurant's mistake this time.

However, after finishing their meal, when the group went downstairs one after another, even though they had heard from the children that the turtle had been waiting, they still felt very strange when they actually saw it.

Qiao Changdong's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Especially when he saw that the old turtle didn't react when the first few people passed by, but immediately followed when he was carrying Qiao Qiao, the veins on his forehead couldn't help but bulge.

"What does this mean? It's not like it's going to follow us home, is it?"

Wang Xinghua walked behind Qiao Changdong, watching the giant tortoise follow Qiao Changdong step by step. He turned to ask the hotel manager who was following them and was going to personally see them off to the car.
