Wu Xiaoshan is the seventy-eighth-generation tortoise descendant of the Black Tortoise. He accidentally fell asleep while in seclusion, and when he woke, his merit had dissipated. To revive the Black Tortoise lineage, Wu Xiaoshan decided to descend the mountain and accumulate merit.
There's a quick way to do it: help people, then have them pat his tortoise head.
He never expected the years in the mountains to pass so differently from those below. The world down there had already entered a fast-developing modern age. The country-bumpkin tortoise wandered along a busy street, bewildered and confused, until a shady do-gooder shoved a business card at him and told him to come to work that night. Plenty of people could satisfy his wish.
Wu Xiaoshan was delighted. He kindly warned the man to be careful when walking around lately, lest he suffer retribution.
Then the do-gooder turned around, missed a step, and broke his leg.
Wu Xiaoshan expressed his regret: "...I told you you'd suffer retribution. Why weren't you more careful?"
The do-gooder dragged his broken leg away in terror.
Wu Xiaoshan went to the address on the business card to start work. But he had no sense of direction, and through a series of coincidences ended up at a luxurious, upscale residential compound, where he successfully got hired as a security guard.
The rich second-generation Xiao Feng had recently been rebelling against his family. He'd just bought a luxurious apartment at a bargain price, and before he'd even lived there two days, he noticed a pretty-boy security guard had started working at the compound. The guard smiled at everyone, his eyes were dewy, and he had a flirtatious air about him. But whenever Xiao Feng passed by, the guard would look away instead of smiling at him.
Later, Xiao Feng deliberately went and stood in front of him when no one else was around. The young guard looked away shyly, then finally leaned over and quietly asked, "Would you like to touch my tortoise?"
Xiao Feng: ???
Someone help! A rich, handsome young man is being sexually harassed!
Xiao Feng decided the man was a demon in human form, and if he didn't do something, he'd end up preying on one of the other residents. So he heroically sacrificed himself, made Wu Xiaoshan quit his job, and dragged him home.
The first thing he did at home was lay down some rules: "From now on, tell people my name when you go out, use my card, and remember you're taken. Don't say... that thing to anyone else!"
Wu Xiaoshan tilted his head, confused.
That night, Wu Xiaoshan exorcised the bright red ghost haunting Xiao Feng's house right in front of him. Afterward, he ran over to Xiao Feng, hoping for praise, approval, and a pat on the head, then bashfully asked, "Can I touch your tortoise?"
Xiao Feng had a million questions. He wanted to ask what Wu Xiaoshan was, what that thing was, and what was going on with his house. But all those questions turned into a suspicious blush on his face. "...You little pervert. Fine, touch it, touch it."
He thought with relief: Good thing I didn't get scared limp.
Wu Xiaoshan: ? Wait, no! Not that head!
