The Turtle in the Wishing Well Became a Spirit

[Make a wish here, and it will come true]

"Immortal, I was beaten to death for swindling people. I know I was wrong and won't cheat or con anyone again. I'm willing to offer myself to you in exchange for being reborn."

Just after being reborn, Jiu Xiaojiu forgot his promise and repentance to the immortal.

He casually lured a handsome man in blue robes into joining him, only to discover the man was mute.

"You're mute, and I'll pretend to be blind. Let's set up a fortune-telling stall for the blind and the mute."

But the mute wasn't very sharp, either!

Xiaojiu said east, and the mute pointed west. Xiaojiu put on an act, and the mute blew his cover. Xiaojiu lit a fire, and the mute poured water on it. Xiaojiu climbed onto the roof, and the mute pulled away the ladder.

Their whole thing was working against each other!

A woman asked for a child. Xiaojiu waved his peachwood sword. "Good fortune, good fortune, come on over! Bad fortune, bad fortune, get lost!"

The woman punched him with a fist as big as a sandbag, nearly making Xiaojiu truly blind.

The mute gave her two red stones, and she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

A banner advertising "Specialists in Infertility, Fertility Charms" appeared at their fortune-telling stall.

"Mute, you've got some real power. You're just like the tortoise in the wishing pond at my house."

Jiu Xiaojiu often praised the mute by comparing him to a tortoise.

"I once rescued a tortoise. That little green thing was so well-behaved, quietly lying in the pond and making money for me. Yep, just like the way you're sitting right now."

"It was super accurate. A scholar threw a coin at it, and he passed the autumn examination as the top candidate in his province."

"An uncle lost his cow, tossed a coin at its shell, and the cow ran home all by itself."

"..."

The mute got tired of hearing about it and wrote: "Why didn't you bring it with you?"

Jiu Xiaojiu sighed deeply. "Because it was too good at granting wishes! I wished to travel far and wide. The next day, I was kidnapped and taken to a male brothel in Youzhou. How could I have brought it along?"

The mute tossed aside his pen and held Xiaojiu tightly in his arms.

Smelling the fragrance on the mute, Xiaojiu's mind turned mischievous. "Mute, I have immortal juice in my mouth. It can cure your muteness. Come..."

After Xiaojiu had tried to seduce and coax him countless times, the mute finally spoke the first human word of his "tortoise life": just one word, "Amazing!"

Xiaojiu, who was straddling him, went limp in fright. "Could I really have immortal juice?"

The Tortoise Immortal: "Little swindler, you don't have any immortal juice. You offered yourself as a sacrifice to me to be reborn, and I was quite satisfied."
