Chapter 211
Yu Xunge finally opened cans for all the cats in the backyard, silencing the tabby.
As dusk fell, the streetlights in the city flickered to life, and Yu Xunge and Tu Lan, cloaked in invisibility, soared toward the sea.
The pair, a human and a dragon, glided to the shore and gently slipped into the water, moving gracefully beneath the waves. What once felt like a distant journey now took less than half a day to complete.
Upon reaching the designated coordinates, they remained cloaked, slowly descending deeper. Yu Xunge drank a potion that allowed her to breathe underwater and lay on Tu Lan's back, who created a bubble around her for added comfort.
They swam down nearly a hundred meters before Yu Xunge finally dispelled her invisibility spell.
From the moment they entered the sea, Yu Xunge activated her **Hunting Eye** and soon spotted a few scattered sea demons drifting nearby.
This was inevitable; just as there were dungeon screens on land, the deep sea had its own, though many areas remained inaccessible to humans.
It could be said that any dungeon appearing in the deep sea could be easily unlocked.
The only good news was that, like in Zelan, the deep sea was currently only navigable by sea demons and high-level alien races. With players growing stronger, they had begun to explore the depths.
Yu Xunge raised her gun and fired, quickly clearing out the nearby sea demons with a few shots—an effortless task.
After diving a bit further, Tu Lan exclaimed, “I sense something!” With that, she pressed her wings tightly against her sides and accelerated downward.
As the surroundings grew darker, Yu Xunge pulled out a prepared underwater flashlight. Soon, she felt the same overwhelming presence she had sensed when first encountering the mighty dragons like Bei Sui. A few negative statuses appeared: **Fear**, **Battle Hesitation**, **Slowed Thinking**, **Reduced Casting Speed**.
It dawned on her that her comfortable time on Dragon Island was due to Bei Sui's protection; she had thought the great dragons were simply suppressing their aura.
Tu Lan used a skill taught by Bei Sui on Dragon Island—**Dragon's Best Friend**: casting this skill on a target grants immunity to dragon intimidation.
In an instant, Yu Xunge's negative statuses vanished, though Tu Lan's version wasn't as powerful as Bei Sui's, granting her only two positive statuses.
The light cut through the underwater darkness layer by layer, and Tu Lan halted, gazing down at a massive shadow on the seabed. “It’s right in there.”
Before them lay a gigantic, dilapidated shipwreck.
On Yu Xunge's game map, a red dot appeared ahead. Was there something inside the wreck?
She doubted that the dragon's intimidation only affected her; since sensing the aura of the Dragon Ancestor's reverse scale, she hadn’t encountered any living beings. The red dot was unlikely to be an alien race.
After consuming a dish that boosted her defense by 500 points due to her divine culinary talent, she took out her Ember and Meteor, using a disguise skill to change her appearance and alter all her information. With Tu Lan, she swam inside.
She didn’t transform into a sea demon or any other alien race; fighting in an unfamiliar form underwater could lead to mistakes.
Here, invisibility was unnecessary; the silence of the deep sea amplified every sound she made. However, Tu Lan could still disguise herself, transforming into a small jellyfish, changing her information, and shrinking to hide behind Yu Xunge's ear, ready to ambush.
The shipwreck wasn’t overly luxurious, but it was certainly not simple. It had two levels. Yu Xunge searched the deck, lighting up the map to ensure she could always shift out of the cabin during combat.
Once she was fully prepared, she slowly swam inside.
However, there were no living beings within, only a crystal coffin.
As she entered the cabin, a faint light illuminated the space, emanating from the coffin, revealing a statue of a human body with a fish tail lying inside.
Another statue, and its face was eerily identical to the one conjured by Xue Dui using magic.
Middle-aged Liang Pozhou?
Yu Xunge watched the crystal coffin warily; the **Hunting Eye** revealed that the red dot was indeed this statue! Above it, a line of golden text read: **Liang Pozhou Level 0 0%┃0%**.
This data was even stranger.
Tu Lan whispered in her mind, “The reverse scale is inside him.”
Yu Xunge didn’t move but turned off energy-saving mode and opted for detailed investigation.
**Character**: Liang Pozhou (Level 0 0%) (Immune to magical attacks) (Immune to physical attacks)
**Divine Talent**: Storyteller (B-level)

She stared at the first talent skill of Liang Pozhou’s divine talent, lost in thought.
**Skill 1**: Life Experience: Using this skill, the target's life will be condensed into a brief summary of less than 1000 words for your perusal, requiring 500ml of the target's blood; cooldown time: 385 natural days.
**Chapter 274: Sea Demon · Mi Yasi**
Summarizing a person's life… is this prophecy or divination?
Just as Yu Xunge prepared to shatter the statue with her skill, the stone figure in the crystal coffin slowly opened its eyes and said, “You finally came.”
Its voice was strange and muffled, like ventriloquism, yet it echoed throughout the cabin.
What a mysterious line, Yu Xunge thought, and without hesitation, she unleashed several skills, followed by a few shots.
Liang Pozhou: “…”
However, the crystal coffin and the stone figure remained unscathed.
Yu Xunge reluctantly lowered her weapons and asked Tu Lan in her mind, “Is there any way to retrieve the reverse scale? Like, if you summon it, will it fly to you?”
Tu Lan replied, “You think it’s Thor’s hammer?”
Yu Xunge: …
Great, this young dragon had already been steeped in Blue Star culture…
She moved closer, attempting to take the crystal coffin, but discovered that the coffin and Liang Pozhou were actually connected. The game prompted her that she couldn’t collect living beings. Without hesitation, she shifted her approach and began using **I Want This, This, and This** on Liang Pozhou.
Liang Pozhou: “Still here?”
Yu Xunge kept using her skill. “Stop talking nonsense. If you keep rambling, I’ll collaborate with the officials and blow you up with an atomic bomb.”
Liang Pozhou chuckled softly, “I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person.”
Yu Xunge pretended to walk away.
But Liang Pozhou’s next words sent a chill down her spine. He said, “I know what your divine talent is, and I also know you have a grudge against my family.”
For a few seconds, Yu Xunge felt as if she could hear her heartbeat echoing in the silence of the deep sea.
She lowered her gaze and replied, “I don’t understand what you mean.”
Liang Pozhou continued, “You can understand. I know everything. I want to make a deal with you.”
Yu Xunge was already recalling the potions and skills she knew, searching for a way to destroy Liang Pozhou. She calmly replied, “Go on.”
Liang Pozhou: “If you stop seeking revenge on my descendants, I will not only give you the dragon scale, but I will also tell you how to evolve your divine talent.”
Yu Xunge’s breath caught. At the first sentence, she was filled with rage, instinctively thinking, “In your dreams!”
But the offer Liang Pozhou presented was simply too tempting!
So tempting that she began to find reasons for Liang Yuchuan in her mind!
It’s no exaggeration to say that for a moment, even the idiotic excuse of “she’s just a child” flashed through her mind.
Why was it Liang Yuchuan?! If it were Xunghuan or Han Qianshan, she wouldn’t have felt the slightest stir; the former was the mastermind, and the latter trampled her dignity through contracts. Even Su Yitong wouldn’t easily sway her, as she had ultimately been captured by the Su family and died at their hands.
But it was Liang Yuchuan, who had bullied her in her past life, always using battles as an excuse and failing to hunt her down, and now she had crippled him.
Yet she quickly realized that having such thoughts meant she was already tempted.
Evolving her divine talent…
Yu Xunge dared not look back, fearing Liang Pozhou would see the struggle on her face. “If you truly know everything, you should know I can’t let Liang Yuchuan go.”
—“Are you thinking that as long as you live long enough, you’ll find the answer to your questions?”
Having her thoughts laid bare, Yu Xunge no longer bothered to hide. She turned to the crystal coffin, looking down at Liang Pozhou. “Yes, if you know something, why wouldn’t I be able to find out?”
Liang Pozhou: “But what if by the time you find the answer, it’s too late?”
Yu Xunge fell silent.
Liang Pozhou sensed her conflict and hesitation.
Is there an unresolvable hatred in this world? If there is, it must be because the price offered isn’t high enough.
The life of an enemy can be an antidote; why can’t other things be?
Liang Pozhou spoke gently, “Would you give me a moment to share some thoughts? Perhaps after hearing them, you’ll be able to make a decision.”
She looked at Liang Pozhou. Even though he was merely a stone statue now, with no expression on his face and his eyes devoid of warmth, she felt as if she saw another Liang Sha, the one she had encountered only once—seemingly harmless yet extremely dangerous!
After a long pause, Yu Xunge coldly said, “Speak.”
