Chapter 2775: Chapter 2795: I Can Distrust Others, But Can’t I Trust You?

"You must not have seen your father, or any other Starry Sky Demon Beast, so where did your related knowledge come from?"

Lin Chen asked curiously, "By the way, what is your name?"

"I am Tia; this is the name my mother gave me. My father left behind a memory crystal. After I absorbed the memory crystal, I knew everything I needed to know."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked, "We previously discovered a Black Demon Cave that goes directly down to the Earth’s Core for hundreds of kilometers, filled with dense Demonic Qi and even breeding a large group of Magical Beast Spiders, but there were no Starry Sky Demon Beasts inside. Does this have anything to do with you?"

Tia replied, "That was where my father and mother used to live. Later, my father left, and my mother took me away from that cave to here. After that, my mother passed away, leaving me alone to live here. I have been waiting for the day I grow up, so I can leave this world and go find my father."

Lin Chen asked, "Why are you looking for Chi Zai though, he isn’t your father, is he?"

Tia answered, "The Starry Sky Demon Beasts are a race, not too numerous, and they perhaps know each other. Moreover, the Starry Sky Demon Beasts also have an ancestral land. Even if Chi Zai doesn’t recognize my father, as long as it knows about the ancestral land, I can return there, and surely I will be able to find my father."

Lin Chen suddenly understood. He initially wanted to ask if, even if you find the ancestral land and meet other Starry Sky Demon Beasts, whether the Starry Sky Demon Beast clan would recognize you as a mixed-blood descendant, but considering this guy is also unfortunate, he did not voice it out.

Moreover, Tia’s ultimate goal wasn’t to gain recognition from the Starry Sky Demon Beast clan but rather to find her father.

"Alright, then we have a deal. If I encounter trouble along the way, you help me, and once we reach the Crimson Immortal Domain, I’ll help you gather information."

Tia nodded, "Alright, but do not deceive me, or I will kill you!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I originally need to go to the Crimson Immortal Domain, and asking around for information is just a trivial matter for me, so there’s no need to deceive you. Besides, you are so powerful, the consequences of deceiving you would be severe, and I can’t afford them."

Tia grunted with a hint of haughty charm, "Good that you know."

At this moment, the terrifying Demonic Qi pressure that surrounded Lin Chen and the two others had vanished. Lin Chen flew next to Tia and sized her up a few times, "Your appearance, although somewhat different from that of a Starry Sky Demon Beast, can still be recognized upon closer inspection. Following me like this, isn’t it easy for you to be found out?"

Tia remained silent; the next second, long fur suddenly grew on her body, covering her bodily features completely, making it no longer possible to associate her with the Starry Sky Demon Beasts.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "This disguise is pretty good. With this, there shouldn’t be any problems. I’ll just say you are a demon beast I’ve tamed. No one should suspect that."

Tia pouted, clearly not too thrilled with Lin Chen’s explanation, but ultimately she did not object; she knew this was the most fitting and appropriate excuse.

Seeing that Tia did not object, Lin Chen turned to Gu Maduo, "Brother Gu, this matter is crucial and must be kept secret; I must ask you to make a blood oath to secure our secrecy, otherwise, we might attract a lot of trouble..."

Gu Maduo didn’t waste words; he cleanly sacrificed some blood and made the blood oath.

Lan Qiangwei gently laughed, "Then I should make a vow too."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Fairy Lan, stop joking, I’m always with you, relying on your protection; how can I not trust you?"

Lan Qiangwei’s eyes sparkled, and she smiled sweetly, "Alright, then I won’t make one. But if I slip up, don’t regret it."

Lin Chen smiled, "As long as we leave Gathering Immortal Island, once I leave, even if you talk to others, it won’t matter. I’m a loose cultivator with no fixed residence; who can find me?"

Gu Maduo silently curled his lip on the side but remained silent.

Lin Chen, seeing the different treatment between Lan Qiangwei and himself, felt nothing improper. The two of them were already close, having teamed up to hunt the Crystal Scorpion. What was there to compare with them?

Moreover, his life had been saved by the two of them. Making a vow to keep a secret for someone else was really too trivial a matter to mention.

Seeing that Gu Maduo had made the oath, Lin Chen also felt relieved.

If he had refused to make the vow to keep the secret, then Lin Chen might have had to consider killing him. Otherwise, if this matter reached Cui Wenxuan’s ears, who knew what kind of complications could arise?

Who knows if they would think of capturing Tia, after all, enslaving a Starry Sky Demon Beast would bring incalculable benefits!

Safety first!

Having dealt with Gu Maduo, Lin Chen turned to Tia and tentatively asked, "You are leaving this place, so these Crystal Scorpions... Can we kill them all?"
