Hiding in a corner to sleep forever, what difference is there between being alive and dead?
Fear no experience, but elders must know the ins and outs of this matter, lest they become victims of an unexpected calamity.
Raising offspring is quite simple for Dragon Turtles; they are thrown out to grow as they please. As long as it's not a matter of life and death, they typically don't interfere. Too much meddling and a smooth journey can render a Turtle Life meaningless.
Of course, how can giving a few treasures be considered meddling? Which Dragon Turtle hasn't shattered a few realms in its growth? The treasures Dragon Turtles provide for the little ones are not many, barely enough for the growth of one realm.
Just like parents in the Mortal Realm, giving their child a house is all, what is that worth? According to Dragon Turtle status, that's like a king or minister being stingy, giving only a small courtyard to an only son!
