Don't Provoke the Turtle

Is this how the rules are explained?

Green Snake was dumbfounded. Did This Turtle grow his horns backwards, poking into his brain?

Su Huanian's brows furrowed slightly: "Filthy!"

Su He was covered in cold sweat.

He had merely opened his mouth out of habit to activate his skill, much like how cultivators always liked to point their fingers, not actually swallowing anything!

It was Soul Sacrifice! It was a Divine Ability! The ghostly entity wasn't in his stomach!!

A gust of wind blew past, scattering the heavy rain. Shadows flitted outside the courtyard.

"Clang, clang! The third watch... the fifth watch... The weather is dry, be careful with candles." A confused watchman wandered into the rain. But at this moment, it wasn't late, and the watch had not yet begun.

"Has he gone mad?" Green Snake questioned. Who would talk about dry weather in such heavy rain?

"The rules are in chaos," Su Huanian said. The maid wasn't killed but taken away, along with the rules that belonged to her, vanishing altogether. The Cave Mansion did not generate a new maid but fell into disarray, clueless.

Su He looked at Su Huanian, raising an eyebrow: "See, the rules can be broken, right?"

How could it be the same as for mortal cultivators? Mortals probably wouldn't even notice this table of rotten flesh, and even if they did by chance, they'd have to hold their noses and eat it.

They could only follow the script step by step, thinking of ways to break through. He was different; he could flip the table.

Su Huanian smiled and shook her head, This Turtle's temper, just like a child!

A child...

She suddenly fell into deep thought.

Outside, there was a rustling sound as a camel sneaked in, followed by an old dog with a tattered cloth bag in its mouth.

The camel and dog quietly jumped into the courtyard, directly entering the room. Seeing the food on the table, the old dog became frantic, pouncing on it, knocking over the round table. Plates and wine jugs clattered to the ground, scattering the food.

The old dog went crazy, trampling on the scattered food. Afterward, it looked up at the three people, Su He, Su Huanian, and Green Snake, surveying back and forth.

The camel looked at it, puzzled.

This old dog was afraid they would eat the food. Creatures condensed by the Cave Mansion, the steward and the lackeys, were not on the same side as the old dog.

The old dog barked, but without any meaning. Su He realized for the first time that there was animal speech he couldn't understand.

The camel approached, panting excitedly at the old dog. The old dog shook open the cloth bag, revealing some wilted fruits and two or three bamboo shoots.

"Eat?" Su He questioned. The camel just panted excitedly.
