The mysterious coffin released a celestial melody before being sealed by the turtle-like figure from the Daogu Tribe. Lin Bai and Ye Suxin speculate the coffin holds primordial progenitors. The Daogu Tribe, led by Gu Hongliang, who had vanished earlier, reappears to guard the coffin. Lin Bai reunites with Bauer, who complains to him about the Old Turtle restricting her food.

The Old Turtle’s roaring voice came, making Lin Bai freeze for a moment.

Especially seeing the sword scars left on the Old Turtle’s shell, Lin Bai was a bit surprised. Each sword scar emitted a sharp sword aura, which was not something an ordinary warrior could leave behind.

Su Shaoyou heard this and said in astonishment, "What! The clan’s ’Dustless Divine Intention Flower’ was eaten by you guys!"

Although Su Shaoyou was the son of the Grand Elder of the Sword Pavilion Clan, the Dustless Divine Intention Flower was one of the clan’s treasures, so he wasn’t qualified to know much about it—he had only heard its name.

At this moment, hearing that the Old Turtle and the young girl had eaten the Dustless Divine Intention Flower, Su Shaoyou’s eyes nearly popped out of his head in shock.

Just as the Old Turtle said, in the Sword Pavilion Clan, the Dustless Divine Intention Flower was viewed as more important than the ancestral tablets!

And it was just eaten like that?

Su Shaoyou, unable to believe it, said, "Did you... did you eat every last bit?"

Lin Bai, holding Bauer, who was angry at first, gradually calmed down upon hearing the Old Turtle’s words.

Bauer was lying in Lin Bai’s arms, no longer crying, seemingly feeling very wronged and sobbing quietly on Lin Bai’s shoulder.

Lin Bai shook his head speechlessly, patted Bauer’s back gently, and asked, "Is it true?"

Bauer weakly said, "Back then, Bauer was really, really, really, really hungry..."

"I just saw that the flower was very pretty, very pretty, and originally wanted to pick it to take back as a gift for my father and mother!"

"But... but... Bauer was really hungry, so I ate it on the way..."

Bauer said, lying on Lin Bai’s shoulder, feeling wronged.

Hearing Bauer’s voice, Lin Bai could roughly guess that the Old Turtle wasn’t lying.

The Old Turtle indeed hadn’t mistreated Bauer.

He genuinely couldn’t afford it.

One meal required hundreds of thousands of spiritual pills, all above the seventh grade. At Bauer’s eating rate, within a year’s time, she might consume all the spiritual pills on the Barbaric Ancient Continent.

The Old Turtle said tearfully, "Lin Bai, judge it for yourself. She ate so much, yet she doesn’t grow taller or fatter. All those miraculous elixirs went into her stomach, as if they were thrown into a river without making a single splash!"

"Lin Bai, tell me, who can afford this!"

"Lin Bai, I suggest you quickly raise her and have her marry someone!"

"Preferably your enemy, so she can bring trouble to someone else’s household!"

The Old Turtle said angrily.

Lin Bai chuckled speechlessly, holding Bauer, and said with a light laugh, "Originally, I didn’t ask you to raise her; you persuaded me many times to bring Bauer to the Southern Continent. Now you regret it?"

The Old Turtle glared and said, "How was I supposed to know she could eat so much!"

"Eat, eat..." Upon hearing this, Bauer beamed and said, "Daddy, Bauer has something tasty!"

As she spoke, Bauer jumped down from Lin Bai, ran happily into the sea of flowers, picked up the bun she had just thrown, and ran back to Lin Bai.

With her two little hands, she held a large bun in each hand.

One bun had already been bitten, and it had fallen to the ground and gotten muddy.

Bauer looked at the two buns in her hands, eyes shining greedily. She hid the bitten, muddy bun behind her back and handed the other white bun to Lin Bai, smiling, "Daddy, it’s delicious!"

The way she looked was like a little girl finding her favorite toy and wanting to share it with Lin Bai.

Lin Bai squatted down, took the bun Bauer handed him, and asked, "Who gave it to you?"

Bauer turned to look and pointed to a person, saying, "She gave it to me!"

Following Bauer’s pointing, Lin Bai looked and saw it was the young woman beside Gu Hongliang. She was the daughter of the current Clan Leader of the Daogu Tribe, Gu Xiang!

The young woman Gu Xiang said in a low voice, "Sorry, there’s only this to eat in my storage bag. Most of the spiritual pills are for healing, and I can’t give them away casually right now!"

"These two buns were what I kept from a few days ago when the Daogu Tribe was aiding the surrounding mortal villages."

Gu Xiang said softly.

Lin Bai looked at Gu Xiang, clasped his fists, and said, "Thank you, Bauer ate your bun, and I, Lin Bai, will remember this favor!"

Lin Bai picked up Bauer from the ground, took out many spiritual medicines from the storage bag, and placed them in a small bag hanging around Bauer’s neck, saying, "I only have this many spiritual pills on me right now. You eat these first, and when we leave this place, I’ll take you to find other tasty things!"

The storage bag on Bauer’s neck was crafted by Lin Bai himself, specifically for Bauer to keep snacks.

When Bauer left the East Continent, Lin Bai had filled the storage bag with spiritual pills, but as soon as they left the East Continent, Bauer almost finished them, which is why the Old Turtle ended up taking Bauer across the Southern Continent, constantly stealing spiritual pills.

Bauer happily looked at the spiritual pills in the storage bag, took one out, and gently chewed it, appearing extremely delighted.

At this moment, Gu Hongliang said, "Since you’ve accepted this favor, could you please have your people return the treasures and inherited secret techniques of our Daogu Tribe?"

Gu Hongliang said to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai paused, looked at the Old Turtle, and asked, "What is he talking about?"

The Old Turtle said, "Ask him what, don’t ask me!"

Gu Hongliang said coldly, "After we arrived here, we found all the treasures left by our Daogu Tribe’s ancestors were gone, and there were only you two in this place!"

"They must have taken it!"

"If it wasn’t them who took it, please tell us where the treasures are."

Gu Hongliang said to Lin Bai.

Bauer, sitting on Lin Bai’s shoulder, Lin Bai looked at her and asked, "Bauer, did you take their treasures?"

Bauer ate spiritual pills like eating candy, shaking her head as she ate, "No!"

Lin Bai turned to the Old Turtle and said, "Then did you take it?"

The Old Turtle climbed off the Bronze Coffin onto Lin Bai’s shoulder, laughing, "Hehe, they’re all little knick-knacks. I thought I’d keep them first, so Bauer could play with them as toys later. That way, you don’t have to buy toys for Bauer!"

"Toys!" Gu Hongliang looked at the Old Turtle with wide eyes and shouted angrily, "The inherited Puppet Secret Technique of our Daogu Tribe is a toy to you!"

At this moment, Gu Xiang clasped her hands and said, "My friend, those items are extremely important to our Daogu Tribe. They concern the life and death survival of our tribe. I implore you to be merciful, and our Daogu Tribe will greatly reward you!"

At this point, Su Shaoyou shouted, "Lin Bai, you must not give them back! The Daogu Tribe committed grave sins; tens of thousands of years ago, the Central Holy Nation ordered their extermination. They sealed their Ancestral Land and cut off their roots to preserve their lives—this was already a great fortune!"

"Now you cannot give them the inherited secret techniques!"

"Otherwise, you will be standing against all the Southern Continent Martial Artists, against the Central Holy Nation!"

Su Shaoyou said sharply to Lin Bai.
