Shangguan Yu dragged his tired body towards the river.His clothes were in rags and he was worse than a beggar.Fortunately, I was prepared in advance and put some clean clothes here.

"Xiao Guizi, wait a minute, I'll take a bath and I'll be ready soon!"

Xiao Guizi is a fist-sized turtle who has lived in this mysterious river since childhood.One person and one turtle met six years ago.

That day, Shangguan Yu was bullied by the servants in the mansion.Shangguan Yu, who was only six years old, resisted and was beaten all over.He came out of Shangguan Mansion and walked to the river in a daze.

Shangguan Yu was hungry at the time, so he planned to catch two fish in the river and grill them using local materials.No seasoning is needed, just bake it.

As the flames rose, Shangguan Yu felt that there was too little firewood, so he went to look for it far away.Unexpectedly, when I came back, I saw a little turtle, and the turtle was eating grilled fish.

At that time, he rubbed his eyes fiercely. What kind of turtle is this?Isn't it too shocking?

Somehow, Shangguan Yu, who had memories of his previous life, had the characteristics of a six-year-old child along with his six-year-old body.He also noticed it himself, but he didn't pay attention to it, it wasn't important.

Shangguan Yu tiptoed and walked gently towards the little turtle, "You fish thief, have you been caught by me now?"

Shangguan Yu caught the little turtle in his hand and looked at it carefully.This turtle has a green and yellow shell covered with patterns, which feels extremely mysterious.

Little Turtle cautiously stretched out his head, "You little brat, why don't you put me down? I don't know if people scare turtles to death. Do you want to scare turtles to death? If you scare the greatest turtle to death in Tianxuan Continent, can you bear the responsibility?"

The little turtle kept chattering, and Shangguan Yu looked at the turtle in shock.He shook his head, as if thinking of something terrible, and threw the little turtle out.

"Ahem, luckily this turtle has an invincible divine shell, otherwise I would have been thrown to death by a little brat like you!"

Shangguan Yu looked at the turtle in surprise, "Aren't you a turtle? How can you talk? Are you a monster? Or a mythical beast?"

He had read a lot of novels in his previous life and knew that not only monsters could talk, but also mythical beasts.

"What are you thinking? This turtle is born with the ability to speak. It is said that this turtle has the best bloodline in the entire continent!"

Shangguan Yu was also brave. He put down his fear and walked to the side of the little turtle.

"Thousand-year-old king and eighty-thousand-year-old turtle, how many years have you lived?"

“Even though I’m tall, I’m actually just a kid!”

Shangguan Yu feels that his head is not enough. He can be called tall even if he is the size of a fist?"Then what kind of turtle are you?"

"I know that this turtle is a great benevolent, righteous, compassionate, virtuous, majestic, wise, and brave turtle!"

Well, Shangguan Yu has accepted this little turtle, he is obviously bragging, and he can still say it so confidently.

"Well...I don't know, I haven't even given you a name yet! I've been living alone since I was a kid!"

Shangguan Yu even felt that the little turtle's eyes darkened, and he felt a kind of loneliness from him, that kind of unique loneliness.

"Then let's be friends. Can I give you a name?"

The little turtle shook his head, "No, unless you do this for me to eat fish from now on, I won't do it!"

"No problem, I've already thought about it. You are a little turtle, so from now on you will be called Xiao Guizi!" Shangguan Yu did it out of spite.

"Xiao Guizi? It sounds so unpleasant. Doesn't it reflect the uniqueness of this turtle?"

"Don't you know? Xiao Guizi is a popular person next to Emperor Kangxi. Not to mention Xiao Guizi turning his hands to make clouds and rain, and not to mention that he can marry seven beautiful girls. Let's talk about Emperor Kangxi, the greatest emperor in history! Is he worthy of you?"

The little turtle shook his head, thinking in his mind.According to the inherited memories in his mind, the great emperors were all particularly dominating figures.He didn't know who Emperor Kangxi was, but he was definitely the greatest emperor in history.

"Okay, I'll call you Xiao Guizi from now on. Please bring me some more fish!"

In this way, the friendship between Shangguan Yu and Xiao Guizi was established.

Shangguan Yu walked out of the river, wearing clean clothes.Seeing Xiao Guizi, I couldn't help but want to laugh.

I particularly liked Wei Xiaobao in my previous life, but I didn't expect Wei Xiaobao to be the name of a turtle now. I am really sorry for Sir Wei, and Shangguan Yu can only say sorry to Sir Wei.

It’s really funny when I think about it now. The Great Emperor is a figure in the Emperor Realm, shocking all existences.The life and death of all living beings depended on the emperor's thoughts. Kangxi was powerful, but he did not yet have this ability.Only if you didn't know why at the beginning, you could say so confidently that Kangxi was the greatest emperor in history.

Xiao Guizi's body has not grown up in the past six years, and she doesn't know where all the fish went.Until now, he still couldn't figure out how such a small body could eat two fishes?It is equivalent to asking one person to eat two cows. Who can eat it?

He shook his head, interrupting these reveries.Shangguan Yu skillfully removed the scales.Wash the internal organs and roast them over the fire.

Xiao Guizi had never eaten grilled fish before, but she felt it was very delicious when she started eating it.Later, after adding seasonings, it became even more delicious. Later, Shangguan Yu put a lot of seasonings here.

Everyone was staring intently at the grilled fish. One was preparing to put the seasonings at the most appropriate time, and the other was preparing to eat the fish at the most appropriate time.

The tempting fragrance penetrated their noses, tempting their appetites.They both deeply feel that the other is a foodie, so...

One person and one turtle, they just started eating without saying anything.Shangguan Yu held one in one hand, and Xiao Guizi pounced directly on the two fish.

"I said, Xiao Guizi, how come you are born to talk? I have read a lot of ancient books, but I have never seen any beasts that are born to talk!"

"I don't know, but I can speak your human language as soon as I have memory!"

Shangguan Yu was just out of curiosity, and he also knew that if he asked this confused little turtle, he would definitely get nothing.

From all its extraordinary features, it can be seen that this turtle is definitely extraordinary.But that’s how I feel, after all, there’s nothing amazing about this turtle.

Xiao Guizi’s greatest skill is catching fish.He said that he was gifted with a magical power - dizziness, which could make fish unable to move for a short period of time.And with those small claws, it can throw fish very far.

"By the way, I feel like I'll be able to leave this river soon. Then I'll conquer the world with Xiaoyu!"

Shangguan Yu was also happy now. Xiao Guizi could not leave the river.He didn't expect that he would be able to leave here in a while, and then he would be able to take Xiao Guizi with him every day.

One person and one turtle, we have been together for six years, and our relationship is indescribably deep.Moreover, both parties have no parents, and at the same time, the world is reduced to human beings. Of course, Xiao Guizi is a turtle.

"Xiao Guizi, I have to go home, you should go back too!"

"Well, okay, Xiaoyu, please go back. Just remember to grill the fish for me to eat tomorrow!"

Xiao Guizi crawled towards the long silver river. How slow was this?If the tortoise in the tortoise and the hare race is Xiao Guizi, then the hare will never win even if he doesn't sleep.

Xiao Guizi jumped into the river, "Of course, barbecue will also do!"

Shangguan Yu looked in Xiao Guizi's direction, turned around and left.

"Hey, young master, are you back? This slave is so anxious!"

Shangguan Yu heard this unpleasant sound from a distance, so harsh.He knew that this servant definitely didn't care about him.From the sound of his voice, he knew it was Lu Hong, the servant who liked to bully him the most.

If you call him back in such a hurry, you must have a lot of heavy work for him to do.Usually Shangguan Yu thinks about Shangguan Jinghong's kindness and does something.But this Lu Hong has always been very over-the-top. Since he grew up with Shangguan Jinghong, he often does things that are out of line.

Sure enough, Shangguan Yu just walked into the house, "Do you know you are back? There is still a lot of water to pick up and firewood to chop. Hurry up and do it! Otherwise, you can't expect to have dinner at night!"

Shangguan Yu didn't even look at Lu Hong, "I'm tired today, you can find someone else to do it, or you can do it yourself!"

"Hey... do you really think of yourself as a young master? If I tell you to go, go quickly, otherwise you will have to walk around without food!"

Shangguan Yu glanced at Lu Hong indifferently, "Be a good dog of the Shangguan family, understand your identity clearly, and don't think you are a big shot! Show your skills and don't tell anyone else!" Shangguan Yu continued to walk into the house, completely ignoring this servant.

Many servants looked at it, and Lu Hong suddenly felt ashamed.If he can't even treat a twelve-year-old child today, then he really won't be able to survive in Feiyu City in the future.

"Stop, you little bastard! Don't think you are really from the Shangguan family, you are just a bastard! I took you in because I felt sorry for you, so don't really think of yourself as the young master of the Shangguan family!"

Shangguan Yu finally turned around and looked at Lu Hong with cold and ruthless eyes, his voice filled with overwhelming anger, "Don't say anything nonsense, otherwise you won't know how you will die!"

Lu Hong was restrained by Shangguan Yu's momentum and immediately took a step back.When he reacted, his old face turned red with anger. This time he was really embarrassed.Lu Hong felt that he was surrounded by disdainful looks, and the servants around him must have looked down upon him.

"Hey... No one has wanted you since you were a child. What is a bastard? You are a bastard. If you are not a bastard, who is a bastard? If the master hadn't been kind-hearted, I would have killed you little bastard! You would have wasted our Shangguan family's food. You will not do any work at all, and you will be raised in vain!"

Lu Hong cursed and vented his dissatisfaction.Shangguan Yu cannot practice cultivation, and everyone in Shangguan's family knows that.How could he, a soldier with a military background, be afraid of such a child?
