The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

"Call out and you’ll find out."

Ye Zi’an set the food box aside, looked at the deep blue sea, and suddenly felt comfortable everywhere.

At this time, Yang Chuxia also started calling out, "Old Monster, Old Monster, come out of your cave, look I’ve brought you something tasty."

"Old Monster?"

"Old Monster, I’m here, I’ve come to see you."

Yang Chuxia called out several times in succession, but there was no movement on the water’s surface.

"It didn’t leave, did it?" Yang Chuxia was very reluctant to part with the Old Monster; if she couldn’t see it this time, who knew when there would be another chance?

"Maybe," Ye Zi’an was also quite unwilling to let go of the Old Monster and after calling out a few times, said, "We haven’t come here for such a long time; maybe it thought we had left."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia stayed silent, but after a while, she said, "Do you think it didn’t leave, but is just angry? Angry we haven’t brought it anything tasty for so long?"

"Really? Old Monster isn’t that petty." In Ye Zi’an’s memory, the Old Monster wasn’t so petty.

Ever since the Old Monster found out that pearls and corals and such things were very useful to them humans, it would always bring some extra whenever he came to give food, so he really didn’t think the Old Monster was stingy.

But Yang Chuxia didn’t think so, because every time the Old Monster saw the food she brought, it looked rather disdainful, thinking either she brought too little or the food wasn’t tasty, and the pearls it gave her were pitifully few.

Thinking this, Yang Chuxia shouted, "Old Monster, if you don’t come out now, I’m going to throw away the chicken!"

Finally, there was a slight movement on the sea surface, but it was just for a moment and then it stopped again.

Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an exchanged glances, then yelled again, "I’m really going to throw it out, and there’s duck meat too, this is honey-glazed duck made by our mothers, I’m throwing it out, one, two..."

With each count, before she even reached three, they saw a big red flat surface slowly rising from the seabed.

Looking smooth yet hard, what else could it be if not the Old Monster’s shell?

As it fully surfaced, a small head peeked out from the shell, and when that small head saw Yang Chuxia, the usual disdain was evident in its eyes as if to say, what else can you do besides threatening?

However, when it caught sight of Ye Zi’an sitting off to the side, it showed a hint of joy and quickly rushed over. Yes, rushed, its speed was so fast that it made her think that those who say turtles are slow just haven’t seen a real turtle.

Then, Yang Chuxia saw it nuzzling against Ye Zi’an’s leg.

"Brother An, do you think it’s a female turtle or a male one?" Seeing how warmly it treated Zi’an, Yang Chuxia suddenly asked this question.

Instantly Ye Zi’an was taken aback, and the Old Monster retracted its head, using its hard back to shield itself from Yang Chuxia.

"Tsk tsk, is it annoyed, or is it shy?"

"I guess it’s annoyed." Ye Zi’an said with a laugh, patting the large red turtle’s shell, and seeing it quietly let Ye Zi’an caress it, Yang Chuxia was curious, knowing this big guy never let her touch it before.

Yang Chuxia started to suspect that it was a female turtle, longing for Brother An’s beauty.

She firmly believed this, and on the way back she was still thinking about this.

Ye Zi’an, a bit exasperated yet amused, ruffled her hair and said, "You’re overthinking it!"

"Definitely not overthinking." Thinking about the Old Monster’s behavior just now, she fed it chicken, and it wouldn’t even glance at it.

But when Ye Zi’an brought over the chicken, it gobbled it up quite happily.
