Chapter 216
Yu Xunge rushed to a hotel in the heart of the city of Jizhou and booked a room. Once inside, she locked the door, took out a dandelion, and blew on it. Instantly, the room was filled with floating seeds, and for a while, communication could only happen through words; even Yu Xunge couldn’t send messages through the game.
At this point, she poured out the contents of Liang Pozhou's crystal coffin from the lunchbox, enlarging it to the size of her shoe sole. She crouched down and tapped on the coffin lid with her fingers. “Wake up.”
**Chapter 250: No Wonder the Crystal Coffin Glows; There’s an Old Dragon Inside!**
She knew Liang Pozhou must have a way to sense her presence. After all, he had cursed Liang Yuchuan through their bloodline, which showed he was no ordinary person.
But Liang Pozhou didn’t respond. So, Yu Xunge opened another lunchbox and placed it beside the crystal coffin. “According to the oath, I’ve brought you the remains of Mi Yasi. I’ll count to ten. If you don’t give me the Dragon Ancestor’s reverse scale, just wait to die. Ten, nine, eight…”
The coffin quickly lit up, much faster than a phone booting up. As he awakened, Liang Pozhou found a large goblin face hovering above him. He sensed the binding power of the oath, confirming that she had indeed brought him Mi Yasi’s remains.
Liang Pozhou: “...How long has it been?”
It felt like he had just closed his eyes! **[Half-Dream]** He hadn’t even had a second to fully wake up, which meant he had been asleep for less than ten natural days…
Yu Xunge: “Five, five…”
Liang Pozhou could already feel the binding power of the oath starting to take effect. He hadn’t expected her to actually return alive. He could only extract the dragon scale sealed within him, and in an instant, a crescent-shaped white dragon scale floated out from the stone sculpture.
—**[Dragon Ancestor’s Reverse Scale]** (Treasure) (Exclusive to Dragon Clan)
**[Half-Dream]** (SS), **[Mind Resonance]** (SS), **[Dragon’s Roar]** (S Rank), **[Dragon Dance]** (S Rank)…
There were dozens of skills, the lowest being A Rank. She glanced over **[Half-Dream]** and **[Mind Resonance]**, and guessed where Liang Pozhou’s time manipulation and mind-reading abilities came from.
After confirming with Tu Lan that this was the real deal, Yu Xunge used a push technique to send the crystal coffin away. Once the Dragon Ancestor’s reverse scale fell to the floor, she cast a lightning cage around it, allowing Tu Lan to inspect it closely for any abnormalities before she grabbed it and stuffed it into her game backpack.
Looking back at Liang Pozhou in the crystal coffin, she saw that his petrified state was slowly lifting.
His health and mana were gradually rising. Although it was only 0.01% per second, it was already a sign of revival.
Incredible! It turned out there was a hidden trick here. Liang Pozhou didn’t need Mi Yasi’s remains to come back to life; he just needed to extract the dragon scale. Perhaps his petrification and immunity to physical and magical attacks were the positive and negative effects of sealing the dragon scale within his body.
No wonder the crystal coffin glowed; there was an old dragon sleeping inside!
Yu Xunge drew her gun, pointing it at the crystal coffin, which was the same size as her shoe sole, and at Liang Pozhou inside. “Anything else you want to say?”
She had even taken precautions, bringing both him and Mi Yasi to Zelan. Her initial intention was to use Mahjong to lure out the big shots here in case Mi Yasi had any tricks up his sleeve. Little did she know, she avoided Mi Yasi’s trap only to find Liang Pozhou had his own hidden agenda.
She opened the game interface, searched for Liang Pozhou’s name, and scrolled to the end. Sure enough, she found a level 0 **[Liang Pozhou]**, a sea demon. The avatar matched the one in front of her.
So, he logged into the game right after reviving.
Liang Pozhou said, “I don’t know what you need the dragon scale for, but let me give you a heads-up… I mean, I’m just kindly reminding you, don’t use dragon clan items without permission, or you’ll face backlash.”
Yu Xunge realized, no wonder the Su family was the one selling dragon blood in her past life. She thought the Liang family couldn’t compete with the Su family, but it turned out they chose not to get involved.
With a cold expression, she replied, “No need for false kindness. What do you want to say?”
Liang Pozhou said, “But you made an oath. As long as the Liang family doesn’t harm you, you can’t harm any members of the Liang family.”
That was true. Yu Xunge could already feel the binding power of the oath.
She put away her gun but felt no regret.
The binding power of the oath actually relieved her. With the game login and the oath’s binding power, she confirmed one thing—this sea demon in the crystal coffin was indeed Liang Pozhou of the Liang family, not Mi Yasi.
Yu Xunge calmly said, “Do you believe I can summon a being as powerful as Mi Yasi at any time to attack here?” As long as she brought out the dominoes, either no one would come, or if they did, they would be a formidable character. At that point, she could escape, and as for Liang Pozhou? Sorry, she’d forgotten about him.
Liang Pozhou replied, “The gun is in your hand, so whatever you say… I mean, whatever you say, I believe! I believe you have a way to bypass the oath. I have a deal here, a backup plan I kept from Mi Yasi. I can’t control time or read minds right now, so you can rest assured to listen to me!”
Yu Xunge: …Without his time-reversal skill, this guy’s mouth is definitely quicker than his brain.
“Wait.” Yu Xunge took out the skill crystal for the buns right in front of Liang Pozhou and crushed it.
At this point, Liang Pozhou no longer had the immunity buff against various skills. You can’t read minds, right? Then let me read!
She sealed the lunchbox containing Mi Yasi and placed it in her game backpack. Then she created a lightning cage to lock up the lunchbox containing Liang Pozhou before asking, “First, tell me about the giant whale’s corpse. Is Mi Yasi really dead?”
“Mi Yasi used a special method to hide his remains inside the corpse of the hidden giant whale. That’s all I know. He wouldn’t tell me the core and key of the plan. If I had known, I would have dealt with him long ago… My task was just to guide you to find him and tell you the materials needed for the ritual. I’m just a worker.
“But what he doesn’t know is that my partner and I secretly kept his blood and flesh from the first day we saved him. Back then, we were inexperienced and genuinely wanted to taste that fish tail. My wife even heated up the oil, but in the end… Okay, okay, I’ll get to the point. Put the gun down!
“Later, I was transformed into a sea demon and awakened my divine gift. I privately wrote down his life history.
“So, before your story even began, I already saw his ending. Goodness, what a loss!
“He has two endings just like my life history, but I won twice, while he? He lost every time! The difference is, if he waits for the person he’s looking for, he won’t even have the chance to experience sweet before bitter; it’s just a straight-up loss.
“And I, as long as the person I’m waiting for is the one Mi Yasi wants, and I calculate everything according to Mi Yasi’s script, then I and the Liang family will have hope.”
What does this mean? Two endings? Is it referring to the last life and this life? Is it her and Yu Xunhuan? But that’s too much of a loophole. Could it be that other prophecies also have multiple endings?
“Two endings, and you don’t even know who’s coming to find you?”
“Right. That life history is too brief. What should be omitted is omitted, and what I want to know is just glossed over.”
Yu Xunge curiously asked, “Didn’t Mi Yasi make you use your skills to summarize his life history for him to see?”
“No, he’s just like you—sneaky… clever! Very smart! He doesn’t trust anyone.” Liang Pozhou said, “Moreover, he doesn’t like skills that directly show the results of events or characters. He says those are like sealing one’s fate. Once you see them, every move will be influenced, and you’ll be pushed onto the path of the prophecy. He prefers fate to give him a clue, and he’ll find his own way out.”
**Chapter 251: So That’s How It Is… Liang Yuchuan…**
Got it. He doesn’t like spoilers; he prefers to play the game himself.
Yu Xunge asked again, “Is the Mind Catcher Mi Yasi’s hand bone? Is it a trap?”
“It is Mi Yasi’s hand bone. That was the price he paid to descend to Blue Star ahead of time through Zelan. He specifically asked me to leave it in my tombstone so you could use it to find me. He said if it went too smoothly, you’d definitely suspect something. What a sly one, making me quietly write in my will that my descendants shouldn’t worship me, or else he’d benefit from it.”
Liang Pozhou spoke candidly as if he had become a different person. He continued, “The dragon scale here is also part of his plan. With Mi Yasi’s help, I could borrow some of the dragon scale’s power to guide you in searching for his remains, but it’s also because of the dragon scale that I became petrified.”
With all her pressing questions answered, Yu Xunge finally asked, “What kind of deal do you want to make with me? Why should I let you win?”
What a joke! She was already holding her breath trying to reconcile with the Liang family, and now he wanted her to cooperate with them?
Liang Pozhou didn’t miss the frustration and killing intent on Yu Xunge’s face. He didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose and bargaining chips: “I can give you the treasures that Mi Yasi dropped when he descended to Blue Star. There are a total of seven items, two of which he was still trying to find up until the last day before he fell asleep.
“And also, according to Mi Yasi’s **[Life History]**, where is his most important lair in this life.”
