I Have a Penglai Immortal Island

【Wow, did you catch an entire family?】

【Caught them all in one net! Quick, check if there's a turtle dad, turtle mom, and grandparents too.】

"Uncle An, remind everyone once more, Hawksbill turtles are endangered protected animals. If we find any more, bring them to me, and we'll release them back into the ocean together." Zhao Zhao placed the newly discovered turtle next to the one with Stockholm syndrome.

She said to the live stream, "Alright, we might find more siblings here. Let's release these two now. If we find more later, we don't want to separate the family! This live stream can't be turned off until we release them, otherwise, it won't make sense..."

【I'm dying of laughter, the streamer is constantly walking the line of the law】

【There's something really funny about this】

【The lazy streamer is forced to stream for a long time】

【I could watch these three little guys squat in the corner all day】

【These two little guys might be worth more than all the fish on the deck. Many Chinese people believe Hawksbill turtles ward off evil, and these two have pretty patterns.】

Seeing this comment, Zhao Zhao couldn't help but say, "Superstition is not good. These little guys can't ward off any evil. Do fewer bad deeds and no evil will harm you. I'll set the camera here so everyone can keep an eye on these three while I get some food for our guests. They came all the way here, so we should at least treat them well."

Back in her room, she took out two apples from her space and cut them into cubes. Thinking there might be more turtles, she cut two more. She wanted to feed them well; after being caught and tossed around, their health shouldn't suffer. She also grabbed two tomatoes for Gun Gun.

When she returned to the deck with the apple cubes, the three little guys in the corner had turned into four, and Gun Gun was maintaining order.

Except for the one with Stockholm syndrome, the other two turtles didn't want to stay in the corner. Whenever one tried to crawl away, Gun Gun would push it back. "Didn't Zhao Zhao tell me not to use my paws to push them? I'll use my head!"

When Zhao Zhao arrived, she saw Gun Gun with its butt up, pushing a Hawksbill turtle back into the corner with its head.

My dog is too cute!

Zhao Zhao patted its head, "Good boy! Have a snack and take a break!"

【What's in that red bowl for Gun Gun?】

【Gun Gun is eating tomatoes, and the Hawksbill turtles are eating apples】

【Your live stream's morning tea is quite healthy】

【People upstairs don't know; fruits are very valuable at sea. The streamer is being very generous】

【These Hawksbill turtles are eating so well. This might be their first time eating apples】

【They are eating so deliciously, I want to try too】

The little Hawksbill turtles recognized the food. As soon as the apple cubes were placed on the ground, they gathered around and ate without lifting their heads. Even low-grade spiritual fruits are still spiritual fruits with a bit of spiritual power. They should be able to survive after being released.

While they ate, Zhao Zhao watched the live stream comments:

【Gun Gun is really smart. It's more obedient than my son. I'm so jealous I could cry】

【Gun Gun's execution is impeccable】

【But logically, it shouldn't be. Gun Gun is so young】

【Streamer, while you were away, Gun Gun remembered you told it not to use its paws to push the Hawksbill turtles, so it used its head】

【I'm also jealous to tears. Streamer, sell Gun Gun to me】

【People say Border Collies are smart, but I think Gun Gun is smarter. No dog is naturally well-behaved; they all need training. For Gun Gun to be this smart at such a young age, even if the streamer trains it every day, it shouldn't be this clever】

【Does Gun Gun have any siblings?】

【The person above is also very clever】

【Did you forget the streamer said this is an extravagant dog? It can grow over a meter tall and weigh over a hundred kilograms. You'd need to beg to afford raising it】

The live stream was now dominated by Gun Gun. While Zhao Zhao was enjoying the praises for Gun Gun, there was a sudden commotion on the deck.

"Holy crap! Zhao Zhao, come quickly! A big Hawksbill turtle!"

"Everyone, stand back and don't touch it. See if it's alive? It's a Class II protected animal!"

As the fish were being sorted at the end, a large Hawksbill turtle was revealed at the bottom. They had indeed caught an entire family...

Then, the crew on the deck and over 100,000 viewers in the live stream gathered to watch the big Hawksbill turtle and its three children fight over apples.

The shell of the big Hawksbill turtle was about a meter long, with a reddish-brown color and light yellow cloud-like spots. Its snout was long, side-flattened, and its tail short. Its head had symmetrical large scales, two pairs of frontal scales, and several small scales on its neck, making it look quite majestic.

Now, this majestic Hawksbill turtle, which had few natural enemies, was fighting over apples with its three little ones. It quickly pushed the little Hawksbill turtles away and hogged the apple cubes, devouring them ravenously.

This made Gun Gun unhappy. Why should the big one get to hog the food? The two disobedient ones were one thing, but the one with Stockholm syndrome was under its jurisdiction. Just because you're bigger doesn't mean you can take it all! My brother in the sea is even bigger!

Gun Gun charged at the big Hawksbill turtle, barking loudly. It didn't work. Gun Gun stopped and tried nudging it with its head, but it didn't budge.

Da Linzi felt sorry for Gun Gun, "Gun Gun, let it go. You're still just a pup. Don't meddle in this. It's a Class II protected animal. We can't afford to mess with it."

Gun Gun didn't care about Class II or not. Yesterday's practice came in handy. It leaped onto the big Hawksbill turtle's shell, stood steadily, and then jumped up and landed heavily. The big Hawksbill turtle paused for a moment but continued to devour the apples...

The live stream chat was in hysterics:

【I feel bad for Gun Gun. After all that effort, it didn't even get a glance.】

【Gun Gun can even do a Thousand Pound Drop? Impressive!】

【Gun Gun never backs down, no matter the size or protection status. Just go for it!】

【Does Gun Gun have a misunderstanding about its weight? This is hilarious.】

【I recorded the video. Adding to Gun Gun's blackmail material.】

【Gun Gun has so many childhood blackmail moments. Let's compile them and show them when it grows up.】

【What's wrong with the person above?】

The irresponsible owner, having laughed enough, went over and picked up Gun Gun. "Sweetie, let's leave them to sort out their own issues. They're guests, and they'll be leaving soon." Gun Gun pressed its fluffy head against Zhao Zhao's neck, whimpering softly in frustration.

"We'll eat more and grow bigger. When you're grown, you'll be able to flip a little sea turtle with one paw."

"Awooo~ Okay~"

Da Linzi, oblivious, said, "This Hawksbill turtle weighs over a hundred pounds. I don't think you'll manage even when you're grown..."

Gun Gun, feeling haughty, turned its back on Da Linzi and rested its head on Zhao Zhao's fragrant shoulder.

The big Hawksbill turtle, after eating two apples, wasn't satisfied. How did they know? When the crew tried to toss it back into the ocean, it kept dodging and holding onto the empty apple dish with its mouth, running quickly. When the crew retreated, it placed the dish on the ground and even pushed it forward.

After a couple of these push-pull interactions, everyone understood.

Catching it was easy, but releasing it was hard. The national Class II protected Hawksbill turtle wasn't full and refused to leave.

What could they do? The law required them to courteously and lovingly release it.

Xiong Haiming, having been out to sea many times, caught a Hawksbill turtle for the first time. "This clever turtle knows what's expensive and eats it. I'll go get more apples for it."

Zhao Zhao quickly stopped him. This turtle didn't love the apples from the warehouse; it loved the spiritually-infused apples from Yaoguang's domain.

By the afternoon, after the family of four had eaten their fill and after much chasing, outsmarting, and maneuvering, they were finally returned to the ocean.

The live stream could finally end. "That's it for today's stream. As you saw, we have courteously returned the Hawksbill turtle family to the ocean."

【Hilarious, it's the law that brought us together for this extra-long stream today】

【When's the next stream?】

【Streamer, I heard Siren's voice. Let me see it.】

"Not sure about tomorrow's stream, but don't worry, I'll stream whenever I have time."

The chat was persistent.

【Even if you don't have time, Little Bear does. Someone will always have time. I haven't seen enough of the Pacific scenery! Here's a tip for you.】

【Sister Zhao, what work do you have? You're not doing anything.】

"I have plenty of work. I can dive and catch fish, and I work with Siren to find fish. There's plenty to do."

【True, it would be a waste if our super-strong girl didn't work】

【You're quite the hardworking capitalist】
