Chapter 279 Don't Hate Yourself
She admitted that Liang Pozhou was right. Her caution and rationality were sometimes just another way of saying cowardice. But the difference in strength was there. Miyas had lived for countless years and was a member of the Siren royal family. He had also made plans many years in advance. She currently did not have the ability to fight him head-on.
What's more, those materials were too strange. Although they sounded precious and high-grade, she had seen them all at auction houses. Although they were expensive, they were all things that could be bought with gold coins...
It's not that it has to be as precious as Dragon Blood Moon Sand. It can evolve into an S-class talent, a method that even Hufflepuff has never heard of. The materials used are just these.
To put it another way, she had already used her God of Thieves talent to seize two SS-level divine gifts and one A-level talent during the special period of the Zelan invasion. She had already used the God of Thieves talent to its fullest extent.
It would be great if the Thief God talent could be upgraded, but if the price was sacrificing herself, she would rather miss the opportunity.
Since it concerned divinely bestowed talents, Yu Xunge did not explain it in detail to Tu Lan, only saying that their current strength was not enough.
Tu Lan wasn't annoyed. Instead, she patted Yu Xunge's ear and comforted her, "It's up to you to decide."
Yu Xunge was momentarily disappointed. She found herself hoping that Tu Lan could scold her awake. Liang Pozhou's words had ultimately left a mark on her heart.
Liang Yuchuan once said she was like a warrior, that nothing could break her. But after her rebirth, she discovered that she was only unbreakable; just as Liang Pozhou had said, she was bound by shackles...
Those shackles have many nice names: caution, reason, and restraint.
While they protected her, they also caused her to lose something.
Tulan sensed her emotions, dropped her disguise, flew to Yu Xunge's side, looked into Yu Xunge's eyes and said, "The Holy Grail told me that even the calmest heart will be ignited by something sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. Don't hate yourself. You are good. You just haven't been ignited yet."
Yu Xunge stopped in her tracks, momentarily at a loss for how to respond to Tu Lan. After a long while, she suppressed the warmth and choked up in her heart and forced a bright smile: "If there is ever a day when I am ignited, it will be by you."
This was a joke, a joke hastily uttered by a cold-hearted person who didn't know how to respond to warmth.
But Tulan replied very solemnly, "Okay, I will try my best."
Yu Xunge patted Tu Lan's head hard, then said nothing more and didn't waste any more time worrying about it.
Miyas's remains were also in the deep sea. Following the coordinates given by Liang Pozhou, she headed straight for her destination. On the way, she sent a private message to her grandmother, Shen Yushi, asking for two time-stopping food containers—she had found out the function of these food containers when she last visited B City and met Shen Yushi—and they quickly sent her two large ones, which also contained two servings of noodles.
[Yu Xun Ge]: Thank you, Grandma.
[Shen Yushi]: Hmm, send some more dragon dung.
[Yu Xun Ge]: Okay
Yu Xunge didn't delay. She already had more than a dozen boxes stacked in her game backpack, so she directly mailed five boxes over.
After sending the dragon dung, she and Tulan ate noodles in the water bubbles and rested for a while before continuing their journey.
Miyas's remains were not far from the shipwreck.
Perhaps because they've spent so much time together, many of their flaws have become contagious. Tu Lan also started to overthink and become suspicious. She said, "Why don't you come back from the future to give me some hints?"
Yu Xunge said, "Either everything goes smoothly and there's no need for anything, or I die."
Tu Lan: "...Then remember to pick me up on Dragon Island a year from now."
Yu Xunge: "Okay, but if you turn into a dragon egg, will Holy Grail Bei Sui be angry?"
Tulan: "No, the Holy Grail said that I was cutest when I was a dragon egg, and that I wouldn't be cuter after I hatched. She really liked me when I was a dragon egg."
Yu Xunge: "..." The Holy Grail's scolding of the child is so subtle, look how happy the child is.
The man and the dragon spotted the carcass of a giant whale from afar; according to the coordinates on the map, this was the location Liang Pozhou had mentioned.
The whale's carcass was intact, as if it had just fallen to the ground not long ago.
The moment Yu Xunge saw the giant whale's carcass, the [Malice Detector] on his chest began to vibrate wildly.
Yu Xunge didn't get too close. She neither cut open the giant whale from a distance to find its remains, nor did she have any intention of entering the whale's body through its mouth to find Miyas. After seeing the giant whale, she directly took out the "Big World, Small Me" and aimed it at the whale.
One minute later, the giant whale shrank to the size of a car. Yu Xunge moved closer and shrank it further. It wasn't that she didn't want to shrink it to the size of a car in one go, but this was the deep sea, and she was worried that she wouldn't be able to find it.
She approached step by step, shrinking with each step, and she and Tu Lan stared intently the whole time, until the giant whale's carcass shrank to the size of a steamed bun. Only then did Yu Xunge quickly step forward, put it into the lunchbox, seal the lid, and insert the lid of the lunchbox from the bottom to seal it. She did not touch it at all during the whole process.
She used the top-notch techniques she used to employ when catching cockroaches at home.
Sigh, the self-loathing I felt just now felt like a dream.
To be honest, this kind of behavior is her comfort zone...
Why should people step out of their comfort zone? Isn't it better to stay comfortable?!
After putting away the lunchbox, Yu Xunge searched around and dug a deep pit at the coordinates. He then swam up to almost the surface of the sea to make sure there were no other special objects there before returning to the sunken ship where Liang Pozhou was with Tu Lan.
She didn't wake Liang Pozhou, nor did she even step into the cabin. Instead, she stood outside the door, gripping the door frame, and took out the "Big World, Small Me" device. She aimed it at Liang Pozhou's crystal coffin, shrunk it down, and then teleported to its side, quickly closing it into another food storage container.
Taking the two old men with her, she and Tulan went straight home and then used the teleportation array to arrive in Zelan.
Tulan: "Where are we going? To Dragon Island?"
Yu Xunge shook her head as she painfully drank a bottle of [Gold Medal Killer]. Now that Tu Lan was with her, if she brought every big and small matter back to Dragon Island for the Great Dragon to handle, what would Tu Lan's elders think? It was better to handle the Dragon Scale matter herself.
After changing her clothes and disguising herself as a goblin, she had Tulan disguise herself as a bear-shaped biscuit and crawl into her pocket. After rubbing three gold coins, she didn't rush to trade with Liang Pozhou. Instead, she went to the auction house and bought a dandelion that could temporarily block information transmission.
He then went to Hedgehog and bought a bottle of Master Memory Gem from her. This gem allows the user to erase a person's memories associated with a concept after the user has conceived it.
She did want to erase Liang Pozhou's memories of her after they met, but considering the existence of Miyas, she felt that it was safest to completely erase the memories related to the "God of Thieves." Otherwise, if she only cleared the answers but not the clues, what would be the difference between that and letting Liang Pozhou play the deduction game again?
Yu Xunge went to a hotel in the center of the polar day city, booked a room, locked the door, took out a dandelion and blew on it. The dandelion instantly filled the entire room. For the next period of time, communication here could only be done verbally. Even Yu Xunge could not send messages to the outside world through the game.
Only then did she empty Liang Pozhou's crystal coffin from the lunchbox, enlarging it slightly to the size of her shoe sole. She squatted down and tapped the coffin lid with her finger: "Wake up."
