Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: Floral Tail Dragon Carp

"Yan’er, don’t be agitated. She is just a small demon at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and has not hidden her strength."

Yu Yanshu turned her head to look at Su Chengyu, her eyes filled with even more confusion.

"Your ability to conceal your aura, as well as the Divine Skills used to track us, are not related to your Realm. All of these are derived from your Innate Divine Ability. Am I right, Hua Tail Dragon Carp?"

Upon hearing Su Chengyu reveal her true identity, the girl in the kimono was slightly surprised, but quickly bowed and said, "Sir’s wisdom is like a blazing torch; to you, it seems my Innate Divine Ability is not much either."

Su Chengyu heard these words and laughed it off.

Although he had never stopped practicing the Qi Watching Technique of Mount Qingcheng, Su Chengyu was only at the second layer, the stage of discerning forms by their aura.

As a precious member of the Demon Clan with a trace of True Dragon Bloodline, Hua Tail Dragon Carp, for Su Chengyu to see through their Innate Divine Abilities, he would at least need to reach the third layer, the stage of Questioning Destiny.

Su Chengyu was able to draw this conclusion purely because Real Black Dragon had mentioned this particular type of Beast in the intelligence gathered about this island, and then he had made a guess based on the other party’s methods.

With such skills and still being able to track down Su Chengyu’s aura, this girl in the kimono was most likely from this nearly extinct race.

"What is sister’s name? Why are those people trying to kill you?"

Yu Yanshu, who had come to understand, finally spoke and asked.

"This humble servant is named Hua Qian. Those people are from the Hua family of Laisong Island, acting on the orders of the Family Head to capture me and take me back."

"Just because you are a Hua Tail Dragon Carp?"

Yu Yanshu pressed further.

Hua Qian’s face showed desolation, "Yes, this servant has been imprisoned by them since a young age. Having managed to escape this time, they still refuse to let me go, sending people to capture me. If it weren’t for the fortuitous help of you two, I’m afraid I would have once again fallen into the hands of the Hua family."

"So what now?"

Watching this unfold exactly as he had expected, Su Chengyu couldn’t help but show a trace of a peculiar smile.

"Hua Qian is aware that it is inappropriate to trouble two benefactors, but I still wish to ask you to please lend your strength. As long as you are willing to avenge my grievances, Hua Qian is willing to serve forever as a slave in gratitude."

Hua Qian suddenly knelt before Su Chengyu, crying softly, her pitiful and heart-wrenching appearance moving one to compassion.

Yu Yanshu said nothing; to have a Martial King act as a thug, the Hua family obviously had considerable power. She naturally would not ask Su Chengyu to make a move.

Moreover, after hearing Hua Qian recount the events, Yu Yanshu always felt that something was odd but couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

"Hua Qian, do you know that Cultivators have a Spell known as the Soul Searching Method?"

Hearing Su Chengyu’s sudden words, Yu Yanshu was caught off guard and impulsively spoke, "Master, do you think Miss Hua is deceiving you?"

Hua Qian immediately looked up, her voice filled with agitation, "Sir! This servant swears by my Demon Core that every word I’ve spoken is true! If there’s any deceit in my words, may I be eternally trapped below the Demon Refining Tower, never to find peace!"

"The things I can learn through the Soul Searching Method are far more than you think. I am well aware that you escaped from the Hua family and even more aware that the Hua Tail Dragon Carp clan has always had a mutually beneficial relationship with the Hua family. It is only in the past ten or so years that the status of your Demon Clan has begun to decline."

These were facts he knew from the memories of that Martial King. What Hua Qian had said was indeed true, but she had hidden much.

"Status decline? The Hua family was established by my Dragon Carp clan! If it weren’t for Hua Yingrong, that parasitic son-in-law who killed the young lady and seized the position of Family Head, would our clan have come to such an end?"

Hearing that name, Su Chengyu slightly furrowed his brows before continuing to question, "What was his name before he married into the family?"

"Yamamoto Ronichiro. It was after he married in thirty years ago that he changed his name to Hua Yingrong."

As expected, it’s him!

What’s called ’walking through iron shoes yet finding it when you least expect it’, the person Real Black Dragon had been investigating for the Emperor’s Six Treasures was none other than Yamamoto Ronichiro.

In one of his letters, he had mentioned that he seemed to have found the specific location of one of the Heavenly Son’s seals, which was Laisong Island!

After that letter, Yamamoto Ronichiro disappeared from the face of the earth just like evaporating into thin air, and even Real Black Dragon himself had personally come to Laisong Island to search but found nothing.

Su Chengyu then reconfirmed the timing of the last correspondence, which matched perfectly with the timeline Hua Qian had mentioned.

This unexpected gain had solidified Su Chengyu’s resolve to deal with the Hua family, though how exactly to do so was another matter entirely.

"Hua Qian, I can tell you outright that I did come to Laisong Island intending to obtain something or some news from Hua Yingrong, but it would be more convenient and faster to just hand you over than to make an enemy of the entire Hua family, don’t you think?"

Hua Qian’s eyes widened as she looked pitifully at Su Chengyu, "You couldn’t possibly be that kind of person, sir."

"You think you know me well? To be frank, your life is fundamentally worthless to me. Whatever about tears turning into pearls, the little value of you Dragon Carp from the tail end means nothing at all in my eyes!"

There’s an old saying that the carp with the flowery tail is exceptionally beautiful and elegant, and when transformed into a human, its tears become pearls.

Compared to the innate divine ability of the flowery-tailed dragon carp, what once made them famous in the world was this innate ability to turn tears into pearls!

The flowery-tailed Dragon Carp clan can use their tears and spiritual power to condense a special kind of pearl, ground into powder and ingested it has an effect almost equivalent to the Heavenly Pill.

For ordinary people, or even ordinary cultivators, it might be quite valuable, but for Su Chengyu, who could refine elixirs himself.

Such level elixirs were long beneath his notice.

Of course, Su Chengyu’s decision not to save her wasn’t just because he looked down on it.

The real reason was that this mere Foundation Establishment Realm flowery-tailed Dragon Carp seemed to treat him as a cash cow from the very beginning!

Suddenly, Su Chengyu reached out and grabbed Hua Qian’s fair face, pulling it close to his own, "Beautiful and elegant? Isn’t that the outcome of your clan using the Glamour Technique as the old saying goes? Drop that pretentious act. You think that I need to test you to confirm your true form and that I wouldn’t detect even your little bit of skill in the art of Glamour?"

From the very first moment they met, Hua Qian had been using her demeanor in tandem with the Glamour Technique in an attempt to captivate Su Chengyu.

But how could such tactics have any effect on Su Chengyu, who possessed the Earth Core Lotus?

Hua Qian looked at Su Chengyu in terror, unable to resist the person before her, and could only incredulously guess, "Did you stop trusting me the moment you noticed it?"

"No, it was long before that. The moment those four martial artists appeared, I sensed something was amiss."

Su Chengyu spoke softly to the baffled Hua Qian, "If even I couldn’t immediately tell that you belong to the Demon Clan, how could those four possibly have tracked you down?"

"Perhaps they had some Secret Technique that allowed them to trace my whereabouts?"

"Do you believe that yourself?" Su Chengyu let out a laugh of derision, then pierced through the final layer of pretense.

"If I’m not mistaken, even if we hadn’t acted, you already had a contingency plan in place, right? From the very beginning, you were never a helpless lamb, but a wolf in sheep’s clothing."
