Chapter 281 So that's how it is... Liang Yuchuan...
Got it. I don't like spoilers; I prefer to play it myself.
Yu Xunge then asked, "Is the Mind Catcher the hand bone of Miyas? Or is it a trap?"
"It's Miyas's hand bone. It's the price he paid for crossing Zelan and arriving on Blue Star ahead of schedule. He asked me to leave it in my tombstone so that you could use it to find me. He said if it went too smoothly, you would definitely become suspicious. What a bastard! He made me secretly write in my will that I shouldn't let my descendants pay their respects to me, otherwise wouldn't that be letting him take advantage of me?"
Liang Pozhou was so candid that he seemed like a completely different person. He continued, "The dragon scales were also part of his plan for me. With the help of Miyas, I was able to borrow some of the dragon scales' power to help me guide you to find his remains. But it was also because of the dragon scales that I was petrified."
With his most pressing questions answered, Yu Xunge then asked, "What kind of deal do you want to make with me? Why should I let you win?"
What a joke! She's already holding her breath after reconciling with the Liang family, and now you want her to cooperate with them?
Liang Pozhou did not miss the frustration and murderous intent on Yu Xunge's face. He did not pretend to be mysterious and directly stated his purpose and bargaining chip: "I can give you the treasures that Miyas dropped when he descended on Blue Star. There are a total of 7 items, two of which he was trying to find until the last day before he fell asleep."
"And where his most important stronghold was, as written in Mikael's biography."
"And my conditions are simple: from now on, the Liang family will serve you. We can be your knife, your donkey under your whip, and we'll do all the dirty and hard work for you! You've really hit the jackpot, so you can hide under the covers and secretly rejoice... No, I mean, Master! Please give this old servant a chance!!"
Yu Xunge: ...Now she knows how those ninety-odd times of time reversal skill were used.
"I don't know why you and the Liang family are enemies, and I have no intention of investigating your secrets, but I know that you want the blood and misfortune of your enemies to quell the anger in your heart. What about the loyalty of your enemies?"
“You can completely trust our loyalty, because we have reasons to choose you.”
"There is always a glimmer of hope in everything. Even if Earth faces an invasion from a world whose power is already fully developed, there will still be a spark that can save it from its desperate situation. According to my life experience, the people who come to me are the most brilliant sparks that can influence the future of Earth!"
"Only by standing on this person's side can our Liang family's curse be lifted, and we will not be completely transformed into sea monsters by the curse left by Miyas."
Noticing that Yu Xunge's expression had not relaxed but had become even more wary, Liang Pozhou quickly added:
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop your horrible imagination!"
"You don't need to worry that we will affect your luck or even erode or steal it. On the contrary, the more we do for you, the more likely we are to receive your protection!"
He laid all his cards out in front of Yu Xunge with almost complete clarity, having learned his lesson through more than ninety rewinds of time.
They all turned into sirens? No wonder... I see!
During the sensitive period of the otherworldly invasion, if the Liang family were all discovered to have transformed into sea monsters, the only outcome would be the extermination of the entire clan. There would be no other ending, and they wouldn't even be qualified to be sent to Zelan as spies.
They will only be used as a warning to others, to tell everyone that the only consequence of betraying Earth is death!
When will the Liang family members be transformed into sea monsters?
"The curse will begin to awaken after Zelan invades Blue Star. Only by helping Xinghuo, assisting him in his endeavors, and receiving his protection can one naturally obtain a way to delay the curse. If one has a close emotional bond, a close relationship, and intertwined destinies, then there is even a possibility that the curse can be lifted."
As if a pair of giant hands had parted the clouds, Yu Xunge finally understood why the Liang family had gotten entangled with Yu Xunhuan in his previous life.
When she broke into the Liang family to seek revenge that day, she discovered that Liang Jing and Liang Sha both doted on Liang Yuchuan, and Liang Yuchuan was not the kind of person who would willingly share something with someone else for the sake of power—and this thing wasn't even a top-tier item or equipment, it was a man.
With Liang Sha's intelligence, if she wanted to develop the Liang family, she could have cooperated with the Su family instead of letting her daughter be with Yu Xunhuan.
Given Liang Yuchuan's temperament, if she wanted power, she would probably rather train herself to death than gain power through a relationship with Yu Xunhuan, which would be an insult to her.
Want to be friends?
With Su Yitong around, it would be difficult for Liang Yuchuan to build a friendship with Yu Xunhuan. Even his brothers from his previous life couldn't get too close to Yu Xunhuan. Add to that Yu Xunhuan's strange luck and cunning, and he must have guessed something. For him, no relationship is as important as marriage, and he also needs to use the Liang family to counterbalance the Su family. He will definitely use underhanded tactics in the middle.
Did the entire clan flee to Zelan?
Leaving aside whether the Liang family knew about a way to reach Zhelan in their previous life, even if they did, and even if they were lucky enough to obtain a means to allow their entire clan to relocate to Zhelan, it would be difficult to grasp the right timing.
Going too early before they become sea monsters is like lambs to the slaughter; going too late means their race will be discovered in the player list before they even leave Earth. Although Liang Jing and Liang Sha only have one descendant, Liang Yuchuan, the Liang family is quite large.
Time was running out, and Liang Yuchuan was left with only one path... The Liang family would never allow Liang Yuchuan's ambiguous relationship with a live-in son-in-law to become the subject of gossip. The best outcome would be to share Yu Xunhuan as an object with Su Yitong.
So that's how it is. She did it for the entire Liang family. Haha, such a cold-blooded and cruel person, she actually cares about her own family! Even such a cold-blooded and cruel person cares about her family!!
She also thought of Liang Yuchuan's frightened and terrified expression whenever Su Yitong said "Aunt Liang Shark"...
Was she really afraid of Liang Sha? No, no one is afraid of someone who truly loves them. She wasn't afraid of seeing Liang Sha; she was afraid of Liang Sha seeing her, seeing her unhappy, seeing her distorted and unrecognizable appearance!
Yu Xunge could only see Liang Yuchuan's tyranny, but Liang Sha would surely be able to see through the pain beneath the tyranny.
No wonder she's so frustrated and irritable all the time, she explodes at the slightest provocation, she hates her to death. Even if Yu Xunhuan were to become her live-in son-in-law, she probably wouldn't be able to swallow this anger until she dies. Instead, she would only get angrier the more she thought about it—is Yu Xunhuan's dignity something so valuable?
Moreover, Yu Xunhuan was probably enjoying it.
I see... Liang Yuchuan...
Yu Xunge asked, "You said there are two possible endings for you. What's the other one? And the person who came is also the Spark you mentioned?"
"Yes, you are like two sides of fate. When one shines, the other will be dim. If I had waited for that person, the Liang family could have survived the curse, but the final outcome was too bad. It was a mess... cough, because they were unhappy. For me, the ancestor, this kind of outcome is a loss."
Liang Pozhou's thoughts remained unchanged throughout, and the occasional reflections that arose in his heart were consistent with the situation he described.
All of Yu Xunge's doubts were resolved, but she still stood up: "I won't do it!"
Why should the Liang family take advantage of her?
Liang Pozhou said urgently, "You don't need to let them know who you are! You can set up a restriction on me, so that only I know your true identity. I can have the Liang family establish a legion and swear allegiance to you directly in the name of the legion! We are very useful! We have a strong sense of self-management. You don't need to invest any resources. As long as you need us, we will do things for you!"
"You really dare to dream. Aren't you afraid I'll give your whole family a mission to their deaths?"
After a long silence, Liang Pozhou said, "Do you know what my two possible endings are?"
"One possibility is that, at the end of the story, your exceptionally talented descendants successfully broke the curse of Miyas, and the Liang family gained wealth, power, and status, but their lives were filled with regret and pain."
"Another possibility is that your descendants will be scarred, but their fighting spirit will never be extinguished. Their lives will be filled with joy and no regrets. A hundred years from now, when people mention the Liang family, you will no longer be worthy of having a name."
