“Turtle clan territory is here. Please disembark at the station promptly so all passengers have time to get off, thank you! Turtle clan territory is here. Please disembark at the station promptly so all passengers have time to get off, thank you!…” The announcement inside the car repeated three times. Bai Li and Wen XingYao jumped off the rabbit-shaped public flying car at the sound of the announcement.

“Just now I saw you seemed to be dazed. Did you think of something?” Wen XingYao asked in concern as soon as they got off the bus.

When he saw Bai Li thinking so seriously before, he didn’t make a sound to interrupt him.

“I was thinking about where to arrange the first farm on this planet,” Bai Li said. “What do you think about putting it near the settlement of the rabbit race? They are gentle, they shouldn’t do anything to destroy the farm crops, and maybe they will also awaken the talent in their bones!”

Although he didn’t understand what Bai Li meant by “talent,” as a good boyfriend, Wen XingYao naturally nodded his head and said yes to whatever Bai Li suggested, without any rebuttal.

In order not to look like he hadn’t been listening carefully, he also took the initiative to enumerate the benefits of such a choice. “Your proposal is actually quite good. Although this planet seems large, there are hundreds living in the Therian tribes. Each tribe is assigned to a large territory, while the rest are assigned to the nooks and crannies. The terrain isn’t good, not to mention that when we usually go over it isn’t convenient. Instead of those places, it would be better to choose the open land near a Therian settlement from the beginning.”

Bai Li didn’t think too much about it at first, but now that he heard Wen XingYao talk about it, he felt more and more certain that he had a good idea, so it was agreed.

The Turtle tribe was a long-lived tribe, and few people outside had heard of any deaths of the Therian turtles on Hope Star. The truth was that over the years, because of their longevity, the number of turtles who died could be counted on two hands.

The turtle tribe’s territory was connected to the sea, and as the two people went along, they met a number of the turtle tribe Therians who were lying on the edge of the reef sunbathing. Since they were strangers, Bai Li did not go up to disturb them.

Bai Li told Wen XingYao the details of his encounter with the old turtle, “At that time, I actually snuck out to play and took the public flying car. The flying car suddenly broke down near the turtle clan’s territory, and all the passengers got off. Then I slowly slipped and hurried away. I found the old turtle, who was thinking about turtle life, on the edge of the cliff. I told you and my brother the events that happened after that. When I left the old turtle also told me that if I came back, we could meet at our familiar place as he would always be waiting for me.”

The two of them walked while they talked, and their steps were fast, so not long after Bai Li finished they arrived at the “familiar place” as he called it. A huge turtle was lying on the cliff, its shell covered with traces of weather. If you didn’t look closely, you might even mistake it for a specially shaped rock.

When it heard the movement from behind, the turtle slowly poked its head out and looked back. When he saw the person who was coming, his eyes, which were not very large and somewhat cloudy, burst out with a surprisingly bright light. Obviously he hadn’t made a sound or any extra movement, but Bai Li could still feel the surprise and joy coming from him.

Bai Li waved at the person, pulled Wen XingYao directly over to his side, very naturally sat down, smiled and said, “Old Turtle long time no see, ah. I’m back.”

He originally thought that after he returned to human form, he would not be able to communicate with the old turtle while he was still in animal form, and it would take some effort to prove his identity. However, as soon as the words left his mouth, he heard another voice, a little different from his own and Wen XingYao’s. “I see you still know to come back, little fox.”

Bai Li’s peach blossom fox eyes widened. He subconsciously raised his hands to pinch his two ears, then turned his head to ask Wen XingYao, “Did you just hear anything?”

Wen XingYao hadn’t mastered that skill, so he naturally shook his head no.

“Old Turtle, is that you talking to me?” Bai Li foolishly asked the other person present.

The old turtle’s eyes showed a little disgust. “Of course it’s me. Could it be someone else? You’ve been gone for three years, and you’ve already forgotten my voice?”

Bai Li slowly calmed down and looked a little sheepish, “I didn’t think I would be able to understand your words after I turned back into human form…But this is also good. Our communication problems are directly solved, but I don’t know if I will also be able to understand the others.”

The tone of his voice slowly rose, as his mood got better and better. He should have known on the trip over. After all, there were five Therian there who’d regressed to infancy, but the five didn’t make a sound on the way. As a group, they were quiet, which successfully sent Bai Li into the ditch, so that now he had asked some silly questions.

Old Turtle was equally happy that Bai Li had returned and in his human form, which meant that his prophecy had not been wrong, and that he should know how to treat the Therians with the cure for Genetic Collapse Disorder.

The man and the turtle exchanged words as if no one was watching.

Wen XingYao, who was sitting next to Bai Li, who was ignored by his boyfriend, had very mixed feelings at that time. As he’d said before, he couldn’t understand what the old turtle was saying, but Bai Li communicated with the old turtle using the Interstellar common language, which led him to listen to only half of the conversation. Even to guess the rest was quite laborious.

However, he couldn’t show an impatient expression, as the old turtle should be considered Bai Li’s elder. Bai Li had brought him over here and they were one. He couldn’t let people think that he was impolite or impatient. Therefore, he could only keep a calm expression and a serene smile, as his empty eyes looked at the person next to him and the turtle.

Bai Li finally explained the situation to Old Turtle. Halfway through, he gave Old Turtle his first sip of grass and wood clear spirit since he entered Hope Star. One sip wasn’t much, but it was the most suitable amount for one day based on his experience after curing Wen XingYao and Zhu MoLing.

“Old Turtle, I have not healed too many people, so I don’t know how many days it will take for you to recover exactly. If I give you a little every day like this, would you like to go and live with me at the hotel? That way when the time comes, you’ll be together with the others, and the efficiency will be a little greater.”

Old Turtle didn’t hesitate much before he agreed. He had been transformed into his beast form for so long, he actually long ago found that his sense of being in a human body had also accumulated a little energy. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could never change back to human form. He had a feeling that his body seemed to be missing another special energy, which linked his human form with his beast form, and he only needed a little bit to get through the knot of it.

The energy Bai Li gave him seemed to be the energy he had thought about, and he could already feel the tremor from the depths of his soul. He didn’t even need Bai Li to give him more, if he held on for a while longer, maybe he could slowly recover himself. Of course, the efficiency of that was definitely not as high if he used Bai Li’s daily help.

Through their previous chat, Old Turtle already knew that the energy Bai Li possessed came from his strange encounters, and Bai Li could heal not only him, but also other Therians on the planet.

Now, all he could do was to listen to Bai Li’s commands and do whatever Bai Li told him to do. When he succeeded in regaining his human form, he could be much much more helpful!

After they talked business, Old Turtle finally spoke of something else, “Hey, I say, Little Fox, ah. We have been sitting here for so long, so why have you still introduced me to this person beside you, ah?”

Wen XingYao, although he couldn’t understand Old Turtle’s words, he was keenly aware of his gaze, and subconsciously sat up straight, a little nervous.

“Ah, sorry I almost forgot about you,” Bai Li said with a teasing smile. He leaned on Wen XingYao’s shoulder.

Wen XingYao heard that “almost.” Clearly he had already been forgotten. When he thought about it, he was still a little aggrieved. He said with restraint, “It’s okay.” 

“Old Turtle, this is my boyfriend,” Bai Li graciously introduced Wen XingYao’s identity to Old Turtle. After a moment’s thought he added, “He’s also an Imperial Admiral. How about that? Awesome, right?”

Old Turtle froze for a moment, then nodded and said softly, “I think back then you told us that you regretted not having a date before you regressed into a beast, and then we old guys asked you what you liked, and you said you liked a stronger person than you. Now it seems that it is a dream that has come true?”

Bai Li hadn’t expected that the other party would actually remember his words and speak them in front of Wen XingYao. Although Wen XingYao couldn’t understand, he still felt a little embarrassed. His eyes flashed and he said, “uh-ah.”

He couldn’t tell that other party now that they first met because he was hungry for someone’s “body” and wanted to take it home to help him into the ground, right? Ha.

Wen XingYao’s curiosity was about to kill him. What had Old Turtle said in the end that caused Bai Li to show such an embarrassed expression? Although Bai Li wouldn’t admit it, he felt that since Bai Li recovered his lost memories, his face was much thicker than before. What kind of conversation was it that would make him behave like this?

“Bai Li, what were you guys just talking about?” Finally, Wen XingYao didn’t hold back, leaned over to his ear and asked softly.

Bai Li stiffened, quickly regained his senses and answered him quickly, “Old Turtle praised you for your good looks. We are a perfect match!”

When he got that answer, Wen XingYao nodded in satisfaction, then gave a nod to Old Turtle’s vision. Unbeknownst to him, this answer was made up by his dear boyfriend to shut him up.

The purpose of Bai Li’s trip was to find Old Turtle and persuade him to stay by his side for the time being to cooperate with his treatment. Since the matter had been discussed, he was ready to take Old Turtle back.

Old Turtle suggested, “It’s still early, and we’re not in a hurry to go back. The other old guys have been talking about you for years, so why don’t I go with you to see them?”

If they knew that Bai Li came back and looked for him first, and only for him, there would be a lot of trouble.

Bai Li already had the intention of going to find a few other people. Since he heard Old Turtle mention it, he didn’t dwell on going back to the hotel first, and nodded his head to agree that they would go back later. At the same time, he also did not forget to tell Old Turtle that he would take him back to the hotel and actually wanted to invite him to eat something good. He didn’t have much on him now, but delicious food was definitely enough.

“Nothing, nothing. I have lived for so many years, what delicious food have I not eaten, ah? We are not in a hurry for food. When all the people are together, Little Fox, you then bring out the food,” Old Turtle said cheerfully. He didn’t know that in the future, he would chide himself for that decision. Old Turtle then said, “Those few old guys came over yesterday and I said that I intended to visit the rabbit tribe near a newly discovered place as a get together, as they usually save the nutrient solutions to eat all at once. To think if I had left and you came to try and find me…it’s good that I didn’t go then. Now it’s perfect. Why don’t we go over together?”

A rabbit tribe?

Bai Li and Wen XingYao glance at each other, and both saw a trace of laughter in each other’s eyes. It was really a coincidence. They were going to the same place as they’d arranged to go next, so it also saved them trouble.

Although Old Turtle hadn’t been to his old friends’ new place, he had heard them describe it, so he took the lead with Bai Li and Wen XingYao in a public flying car, and went straight to the rabbit clan territory. The three of them came to a flat slope, surrounded by trees of excellent growth, and a tall, dark-colored bush at the edge of the slope, that gave Bai Li a different feeling.

Sure enough, Old Turtle went straight towards the bush and went into it without any hesitation. From the other side of the bush came the sound of Old Turtle urging Bai Li to follow and also head into the bush.

On the other side of the bush, was something else. Through a dimly lit, narrow pathway, they came to a wide open space, most of which was covered by scattered rocks. What wasn’t covered with rock had high weeds. Through the gaps in the weeds, Bai Li found that the soil underneath was dark brown, with a nice, moist smell.

The DNA of the Agricultural Deity was moving.

However, before Bai Li could go up to identify the texture of the soil, several other figures came from the other direction. It just happened to be the ones they were looking for.

“Old Turtle, didn’t you say you weren’t coming? Why have you suddenly come over?”

“Hmm? Who are these two humans? One of them smells familiar. Hm…? Little Fox?”

“Hey? If it isn’t my grandson! Wen XingYao, why are you here too?”

The first two openings were quite normal, but when Bai Li heard the third question, his head “swished” as he turned in the direction of Wen XingYao. The fluffy one he knew actually was Wen XingYao’s grandfather? This was more or less embarrassing…
