Chapter 275 Miyas's Talent
"For half our lives, we were deceived by him! He turned us into monsters just like him!! Yes, we awakened our divine talents very early on, but... but the price we paid is unimaginable!"
"Later, despite Yun Sheng's objections, I sold Miyas to a pharmaceutical company and used his remains as capital investment... I never regretted my choice; I only hate that I betrayed him too late, causing misfortune to myself and my family."
After listening for so long, Yu Xunge remained completely unmoved. After modifying Liang Pozhou's luck, she continued to steal items from Liang Pozhou while healing herself, but she found nothing; all her skills failed without exception.
At first glance, Liang Pozhou's words seemed flawless. In fact, because he did not conceal his motives and openly revealed his identity as a traitor, his "truthfulness" was revealed, making the story sound authentic and causing listeners to subconsciously believe the rest of the story.
Yu Xunge would subconsciously question a flawless saint, trying to find his flaws, but rarely criticize the frankness of a true villain.
Whether he believed it or not, Yu Xunge showed no emotion on his face.
Liang Pozhou continued, "We thought that leaving Miyas would allow us to start a new life, but we later discovered that leaving the siren was the beginning of our misfortune. Yun Sheng and I could no longer stay away from the sea for long periods of time. As long as we did not enter the sea for a long time, we would be like the mermaids in the fairy tale, walking on the land as if we were walking on sharp knives. Conversely, if we were close to the sea, we would receive different degrees of good luck."
"If it were only Yun Sheng and I who were suffering, I would accept it! It was our greed. But even the children we had afterward were cursed! The only good news is that this curse is weakening with each generation."
"But what's even more terrifying is yet to come. Neither Yun Sheng nor I showed any signs of aging, and our bodies slowly began to petrify... At the end of our lives, we each boarded a boat and went into the sea for a burial, trying to preserve our dignity. But unexpectedly, we couldn't even die. After we were all petrified, I became an immortal monster."
Just as Liang Pozhou was lost in his memories, Yu Xunge suddenly asked, "Where did you get your dragon scales?"
Liang Pozhou was not annoyed by being interrupted in his recollection, but patiently replied, "Naturally, it was obtained from Miyas."
Yu Xunge then asked, "After you sold Miyas, did you receive any of the research results?"
Liang Pozhou sighed, "I received some, and I donated most of it, but then something happened at that research institute. Everyone who knew about it died mysteriously, and then Miyas's remains also disappeared."
The solemnity and doubt between Yu Xunge's brows did not dissipate; on the contrary, they grew stronger.
According to Xue Dui, the one who stole the reverse scale was the Wind Scythe Clan, but in the Liang family's story, they only saw mermaids and sea monsters from beginning to end. Even after selling the sea monsters, the Liang family continued to pay attention to the research results, but Liang Pozhou still referred to them as sea monsters.
Is it possible that the Wind Scythe, which can steal dragon scales from Dragon Island without being caught by the snowdrifts, could be intercepted halfway?
The probability of this is almost zero!
Therefore, the one who stole the Dragon Ancestor's reverse scale was not the Wind Scythe from beginning to end, but the sea monster that Liang Pozhou mentioned, and Xue Dui and the group of dragons failed to see this!
So many dragons, so many powerful talents, yet none of them could find out the other party's true identity. More than a hundred years later, the clues given to her were only those of the current owner of the Dragon Ancestor's Reverse Scale.
What does this mean? The thief's disguise skill when stealing the Reverse Scale fooled even the dragon.
Almost instinctively, she thought of a certain possibility!
That siren, that siren royal's divinely bestowed talent, is very likely also the [God of Thieves]!
Contrary to her assumption that dragons could see through the Thief God's disguise, the Thief God's disguise skills could even fool those level 180 dragons...
Yu Xunge's heart was about to explode. She even involuntarily pressed down on her wildly beating heart, trying to calm it down.
Thinking of the other party's divinely bestowed talent skill [Life Experience], she asked softly, "Actually, you don't know what my divinely bestowed talent is at all, right? You just know what I need through some means, and you know that I will bring disaster to the Liang family, so you use this to reach a deal?"
Would a life resume of less than 1,000 words go to the lengths to detail the abilities of an enemy? In fact, she wasn't even Liang Pozhou's enemy, but rather the enemy of his descendants. To Liang Pozhou's life, she wasn't even a supporting character.
Liang Pozhou was silent for a while, then sighed and said with a hint of regret, "You are indeed very smart, but without my hint, you would never have found the way."
Yu Xunge tentatively asked, "The remains of Miyas?"
This time, Liang Pozhou remained silent for even longer. He stammered and sighed, "It is...it is the remains of Miyas. If I could, I would not give you such a treasure. However, I have created countless resumes for myself, and they have never shown your name or the specific time you came to my door. This makes it impossible for me to even plan ahead to kill you."
"But that's also the charm of a life resume. It's precisely because it's not detailed enough that I can try to intervene in fate. If it were too detailed, it would lose its blank space, and fate would lose its room for modification."
He plugged another loophole. Yu Xunge had just been thinking about this. Why not keep such a good thing for herself and leave a message for the Liang family in advance, so that they could find an opportunity to kill a potential enemy? Even if she came in disguise and her "life resume" could not be found, couldn't the Liang family send people to guard his body?
The doubts surrounding this matter seem to be decreasing.
With the help of Miyas, Liang Pozhou awakened his divine talent early on and used it to predict the changes in the Liang family. However, because his life experience was too brief, he could not learn the specific information about his enemies, so he could not leave any information for his descendants to eliminate them in advance. He could only rely on his own advance planning to make peace.
Everything makes sense.
She had already used up half of the Jade Feast skill. She had been relying on the food in the magician's dentures to restore her health, but she still couldn't steal any dragon scales or even any miscellaneous items. She stopped using the skill and took a few steps back.
There's no need to steal any more; she needs to keep at least half of the Jade Feast as a safety net.
She asked softly, "State your request. Is it enough to simply stop seeking revenge against the Liang family?"
“Of course not,” Liang Pozhou said. “No longer seeking revenge against my descendants is a necessary condition. Only if you agree to this condition will I tell you the location of Miyas’s remains and how to use them to evolve your divine talent. But if you want the dragon scales, you have to agree to another request.”
