CHAPTER 3090 THE STUPID TURTLE
“I didn't expect you siblings to be so close,” Zordey commented.
In response, Jared sent him a wry smile before turning toward Quinley and Cloud. “We're getting off the spirit ship and riding on the divine turtle instead. That way, we can go wherever we want.”
The reason Jared wanted to leave on the divine turtle was that he wanted to check out the small island, for it would be great if he could find something special there.
“All right! I'm sure riding on the divine turtle will be lots of fun!” Quinley cheered as her hands clapped in excitement.
Given how big the divine turtle was, there was plenty of space for the three of them.
“Can I ride together with you?” Zordey quickly asked when he heard what they were doing.
He wished to join them as he wanted to ride a divine turtle, too, but mainly because he didn't want to leave Quinley's side.
Since he had yet to pursue her successfully, it would be a great loss to him if she were to leave just like that.
After all, he had lost three subordinates just to get Quinley the tickets for the ship. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“No,” Quinley rejected his request outright.
“Ms. Tall, you...” Zordey didn't expect her to turn him down.
“You had better stop having any ideas about Ms. Tall. Her heart already belongs to someone else,” Cloud remarked in a mocking tone as he eyed Zordey.
“Someone else? Who's that?”
With his brows tightly furrowed, rage flashed across Zordey's face.
However, the moment he finished and saw Quinley and Jared in each other's arms, an epiphany struck him.
“You lied to me, d*mn it! They aren't siblings at all!”
Consumed by anger, Zordey abruptly unleashed his aura.
At the same time, Jared pulled Quinley behind him and released his aura in an attempt to resist Zordey.
When many of the cultivators saw that a fight was about to break out, they began to surround the two.
“Such insolence! How dare you start a fight on this ship!”
Just before Zordey could strike, a group of men in robes with eight trigram prints on them angrily approached.
They were the spirit ship's crew, and the rules of the ship forbade anyone from fighting.
The crew's arrival caused Zordey to retract his aura as he stared daggers at Jared. “Just you wait. Once we're back on shore, I'll teach you a lesson...”
“By then, you won't be able to find us. We're leaving on the divine turtle now,” Cloud replied with a grin.
The reason they came clean with Zordey was because they were already leaving the ship. Thus, there was no need to hide the truth from him anymore.
The words caused Zordey to turn red in anger, but he was helpless to do anything.
Just as Jared and the others prepared to jump onto the divine turtle, the spirit ship suddenly shook. Right after that, more than ten divine turtles held the spirit ship between them and moved forward again.
Without a moment's hesitation, the crew began to chant spells, causing the spirit ship to emit rays of light, but to no avail.
Right in front of the ship, a giant waterspout quickly came into view.
It was common knowledge that a waterspout was formed by a giant tornado. If the spirit ship were to be pulled into it, it would definitely be crushed into pieces.
The realization threw everyone into a panic. Each of them tried to stop the ship in their own way, but their efforts were futile.
In response to the situation, Jared, with Quinley and Cloud behind him, wanted to jump onto the divine turtle to escape the tornado.
However, the giant divine turtle refused to obey Jared and swam rapidly toward the tornado instead.
Meanwhile, horror began to fill everyone's eyes as they approached the tornado.
All of a sudden, someone pointed at the tornado and shouted, “Look, what's that?”
When everyone frantically looked out, they saw the huge divine turtle swimming to the eye of the tornado, where its body was subsequently sucked up into the air and into the black clouds above.
“What kind of divine turtle is that? Is it stupid?”
“Aren't divine turtles supposed to be wise? One that size should be smarter than a human being. Why did it swim into the eye of the tornado?”
“After going through all the effort to tame it, it's gone in the blink of an eye.”
Many commented as they shot Jared sympathetic looks.
