Chapter 274 The Siren Miyas
Summarizing a person's life... is this prophecy or divination?
Just as Yu Xunge was about to use his skill to shatter the statue, the stone sculpture in the crystal coffin slowly opened its eyes and said, "You've finally arrived."
The sound was strange and muffled, like ventriloquism, yet it resounded throughout the cabin.
"That sounds really mysterious," Yu Xunge thought, and without hesitation, he unleashed several skills and followed up with a few more shots.
Liang Pozhou: "..."
However, the crystal coffin and the stone carvings inside were completely undamaged.
Yu Xunge regretfully put down his weapon and asked Tu Lan in his mind, "Is there any way to get rid of the Reverse Scale? Like, if you summon it, it will fly to you or something?"
Tulane: "You think it's Thor's hammer?"
Yu Xunge: ...
Very well, this young dragon has already been thoroughly seasoned by Blue Star culture...
She moved closer, intending to collect the crystal coffin, but she discovered that the crystal coffin and Liang Pozhou were actually connected. The game warned her that she could not collect living creatures. Without hesitation, she changed her strategy and began using the "I want this, this, and this" skill on Liang Pozhou.
Liang Pozhou: "Are you still there?"
Yu Xunge continued with his skills: "Speak, stop talking nonsense. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll go find the government to cooperate with and bomb you with an atomic bomb."
Liang Pozhou chuckled softly, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
Yu Xunge made a move to leave.
But Liang Pozhou's next words sent a chill down her spine. He said in a low voice, "I know what your divine talent is, and I also know that you have a grudge against my Liang family."
For a few seconds, Yu Xunge seemed to hear his own heartbeat echoing in the silent seabed.
She lowered her eyes and replied, "I don't understand what you mean?"
Liang Pozhou replied, "You understand, I know, I know everything. I want to make a deal with you."
Yu Xunge was already recalling and calculating the potions and skills she knew, searching for a way to destroy Liang Pozhou. She calmly replied, "Go ahead."
Liang Pozhou: "I will no longer seek revenge against my descendants. I will not only give you dragon scales, but I will also tell you how to evolve your divinely bestowed talent."
Yu Xunge's breath hitched. Upon hearing the first sentence, she was filled with rage and subconsciously thought to herself, "Dream on!"
But the price Liang Pozhou offered next was simply too generous!
So generous...so generous that she started making excuses for Liang Yuchuan in her mind!
It's no exaggeration to say that for a moment, even the idiotic reason "she's still a child" flashed through her mind.
Why Liang Yuchuan of all people?! She wouldn't have been moved at all if it were Yu Xunhuan or Han Qianshan. The former was the culprit, and the latter trampled on her dignity through a contract. She wouldn't even be easily swayed by Su Yitong, because she was eventually captured by the Su family and died there.
But it was Liang Yuchuan who, in his past life, always used fighting as an excuse and reason to bully her. He failed to kill her and now he had crippled three of her limbs.
However, she immediately realized that when she had these thoughts, it meant that she was already interested.
A divinely bestowed talent for evolution...
Yu Xunge didn't dare turn around, afraid that Liang Pozhou would see the struggle on her face: "If you really know everything, you should know that I can't let Liang Yuchuan go."
"Are you thinking that if you live long enough, you'll find the answer to the question?"
With her thoughts exposed, Yu Xunge no longer bothered to hide them. She turned and walked to the crystal coffin, looking down at Liang Pozhou: "Yes, if you can find out the information, what reason do I have not to find out?"
Liang Pozhou: "But what if by the time you find the answer, it's too late?"
Yu Xunge remained silent.
Liang Pozhou could see Yu Xunge's excitement and struggle.
Are there any unsolvable hatreds in this world? If so, it must be because the price offered wasn't high enough.
If the life of an enemy can be the antidote, why can't anything else?
Liang Pozhou said gently, "Would you be willing to give me some time to listen to some nonsense I've said? Maybe after listening to that nonsense, you'll be able to make a decision."
She looked at Liang Pozhou, and even though he was now just a stone statue with no expression on his face and no warmth in his eyes, she seemed to see another Liang Shark, the Liang Shark she had only seen once, seemingly harmless but extremely dangerous!
After a long silence, Yu Xunge said coldly, "You speak."
Perhaps it had been too long since he had spoken to anyone, for the first thing Liang Pozhou said was a nonsensical statement that made everyone's head spin: "Do you know why my name is Liang Pozhou?"
Yu Xun patiently agreed, "A do-or-die mentality?"
"Yes, we must burn our bridges."
Back then, his family was poor, and Liang Pozhou didn't have a proper name until he was five years old. One day, Liang Pozhou's father took him to the market to sell vegetables. On the street, he heard people tell the story of "breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats," which made him very excited. On the way home, he kept repeating the phrase.
The father and son discussed it all the way. Neither "breaking the cauldron" nor "sinking the boat" was auspicious, so they finally settled on "breaking the boat," which sounded powerful.
"Unfortunately, it was only much later that I learned that the broken boat had another meaning."
"A broken boat entering the sea signifies the end of good fortune and the beginning of misfortune."
"Sometimes, one has to believe in fate; a name is like an opening poem."
When Liang Pozhou was 19 years old, he went out to sea to fish with his newlywed wife.
They didn't catch any fish, but instead pulled up a monster that was half human and half fish.
Everyone loves beauty. Liang Pozhou and his wife Xu Yunsheng had never seen such a beautiful face in their lives, like that of an immortal. Instead of throwing the unconscious monster into the water, they kept it on their fishing boat.
"At first, Yun Sheng and I had impure intentions. Even if we were ignorant, we knew that it was no ordinary creature. Its appearance, its singing voice, and its fish tail were all rare treasures. We had never seen such a beautiful creature before."
"The siren was injured and had no ability to take care of himself. We took care of him, hoping to profit from him once he recovered. But he was really sensible. He would sing to us when we were tired and would do his best to protect us when we were in danger. For a while, Yun Sheng and I almost treated him like family."
—"He said his name was Miyaz."
"Miyas said he could pray to the sea, asking it to protect us, bring us good fortune, and help us obtain the treasures in the sea. Yun Sheng and I had no reason to refuse. Our initial intention in saving and raising him was for profit."
"But those were turbulent times. We had nowhere to spend the treasure, and we were worried about it being discovered. We spent almost half of each year at sea."
—"For a long time, Yun Sheng and I didn't have our own children. We were worried that the children wouldn't keep their mouths shut and we wouldn't be able to keep an eye on them. If they let something slip when we got ashore, it might put them in danger."
"With the combined support of emotion and mutual benefit, our relationship grew stronger and stronger. We became one family. He even gave us divine gifts, divine gifts! From that day on, he was a god in our hearts."
"But we later learned that every time Miyaz prayed for blessings, we had to pay a price."
