60: Chapter 60 Tu Shanqing

Except for Ying Feng, who remained in place, all other Yao Race members received their orders and left.

Xing Yaoyan walked towards the screen behind the main throne of the great hall under Sun Wu's guidance.

After a ripple in space, she found herself in a wooded area with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

"This is my side hall. Does the Saintess like it?"

The handsome man walked out from beside Xing Yaoyan and lazily stretched.

"Your Majesty... I am afraid she is unable to answer you yet..."

Sun Wu stood respectfully to the side and kindly reminded him.

"Oh my, Minister Sun, it seems you are getting on in years..."

"Haha..."

Sun Wu gave a dry laugh and thought to himself: You, an old antique of several hundred years, are calling me old? It is just because my rank is lower that I look old...

But on the surface, he followed the King's lead and said: "Why does Your Majesty say that?"

"Do you remember that Star Beast from two years ago?"

Upon hearing his words, Sun Wu's eyes instantly narrowed.

"As everyone knows, a Star Beast's Star Soul cannot be destroyed. A Star Beast's shell without a Star Soul would never be as calm as she is."

"If others do not understand, that is fine, but you were by my side observing at close range back then. That is why I said you are getting old and a bit forgetful..."

The handsome man lightly waved his folding fan, his gaze lingering on the beautiful mountain scenery. Coupled with his long robe, he truly was an Immortal.

Looking at the back of the King of the Kingdom of Myriad Demons, Xing Yaoyan suddenly felt a sense of trance, as if once upon a time, someone had also stood before her like this. Their figure floating, golden light filling the sky...

"Dad..."

Handsome man: ?

Sun Wu: ?!!

"Wait! I know you are pretending, that is correct, but you cannot just randomly acknowledge a father just to play dumb! I am a fox, you are a wolf! The bloodlines are different!"

The handsome man broke character almost instantly; the previous air of an Immortal had already vanished, leaving only some incoherent, flustered defense.

"Your Majesty, I did not expect..."

"Stop! Do not talk nonsense, I did not, do not think wild thoughts!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to stare at the white wolf, whose eyes had already regained their luster, his handsome brows slightly furrowed.

"Do not think that calling me 'Dad' will work; we will still settle the accounts that need to be settled!"

By this time, Xing Yaoyan had already sobered up from her previous trance, a drop of cold sweat running down her fur.

She did not know why she had suddenly subconsciously dropped her disguise, nor why she had involuntarily blurted out that "Dad," which was extremely shameful for a wolf.

But the die was cast, the disguise was broken, and she had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"What do you need me to do?"

Xing Yaoyan said straightforwardly.

Although she now held the empty title of Saintess, in reality, she was still a "refugee" living under someone else's roof.

Only by knowing the value she could bring to the other party could she avoid being led by the nose later on.

"Oh? I thought you would continue to play dumb for a while longer..."

The handsome man resumed his previous calm and indifferent appearance, as if the person who had just lost his composure was someone else.

"As for what I need you to do... hmm... it should be to successfully pass my 'Blood Refining'."

"Huh?"

Xing Yaoyan was stunned; she had not expected this to be the answer she received.

Could it be that he really hopes I become the true Saintess of the Yao Race...

"My name is Tushan Qing. In the future, the Saintess can just call me Uncle Qing." The handsome man suddenly closed his folding fan and said with a smile.

"Tushan Fox Demon..."

Xing Yaoyan instantly remembered that Hu Wang had told her the Reincarnation was the work of the Tushan Fox Demon.

"Oh? I remember that our Tushan Fox Demon clan has been in seclusion for many years, and I rarely show my face. How do you know about us?"

Tushan Qing's gaze instantly became dangerous, as if scrutinizing the unknown danger on Xing Yaoyan.

Xing Yaoyan certainly dared not directly betray Hu Wang; after all, who knew if this seemingly amiable Tushan Qing would harm Hu Wang after learning about his Reincarnation.

But before she could find an excuse to change the subject, the handsome man suddenly laughed again.

"Forget it, after all, you are the Saintess from the prophecy; it is normal to have some traits that differ from ordinary people..."

"Alright, you have recovered to normal under my miraculous medical skills, and there is still a little time left. If you have anything you want to ask me, ask quickly now; time waits for no one~"

Xing Yaoyan felt creeped out by Tushan Qing's meaningful gaze, but on the surface, she still spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I want to know how you discovered me, and how you knew my location."

On the way here, Xing Yaoyan had carefully considered this question, but she could not find an answer.

If they discovered she was a Star Beast, she could accept that; after all, she had carefully revealed her power a few times in the outside world.

But if they said they found her location when she was imprisoned, that was complete nonsense.

Leng You clearly ordered the Security Bureau to capture her alive on his own authority. In the Human Alliance, harboring a Star Beast is inherently illegal, and his actions must have been to avoid many prying eyes.

Since the high-level officials of the Human Alliance did not discover this matter, how could Sun Wu confidently determine her location directly? This is very unreasonable.

"Oh, about that... Minister Sun, this will have to be explained by you."

"Yes."

Sun Wu bowed, then stroked his beard and said triumphantly:

"That is, of course, because Your Highness the Saintess has been carrying the tracker I personally gave you..."

"Tracker? Personally?"

Xing Yaoyan was dumbfounded.

She thought to herself that since her Transmigration to this world and becoming conscious, until she arrived at the Kingdom of Myriad Demons, the only Yao Race members she had come into contact with were a snake demon and Hu Wang.

How could she have met this old man Sun Wu, and why would she be carrying a tracker he personally gave her?!

"Does Your Highness the Saintess remember the glowing crystal a monkey gave you before?"

"Huh?!"

Xing Yaoyan moved her intent.

A crystal emitting golden light then appeared in her paw.

"You... you are that monkey?"

"No, you were so weak back then."

"Also, was that monkey not a Spirit Beast?"

"Wait, is this not a memory crystal? How did it become a tracker!"

Questions poured out like a string of pearls; Xing Yaoyan felt she had been set up, and in a big trap at that.

"Ahem... my Innate Talent is 'Clone'. I can transform the hairs on my body into anything. The rank and size of the object are affected by the amount of Demonic Power I output."

As he spoke, a wave of Demonic Power radiated from Sun Wu.

He plucked a hair from somewhere and tossed it outward.

The familiar monkey Spirit Beast instantly appeared before Xing Yaoyan's eyes.

"Squeak~ (Hello, Saintess, we meet again)"

That is it... it was the little monkey that helped her escape back then...

"Right!"

Xing Yaoyan suddenly remembered that when she went to steal Hu Wang's memory crystal, she had seen what memory crystals storing information looked like. They did not glow, and Hu Wang's only glowed when he actively used a secret technique to activate it...

Damn it... why did I not think of that at the time...

"As early as over a decade ago, His Majesty, according to the date on the prophecy, ordered me to create thousands of Clones to search for the Saintess's traces all over Blue Star. How about that? Quite touching, right..."

The corners of Xing Yaoyan's mouth twitched slightly.

So this is what it feels like to be targeted by a Yao... It is too crazy...

"Wait! You control so many Clones by yourself; is your Demonic Power enough? And for so many years, is your stamina enough?"

"As for Demonic Power, it is actually fine. I usually separate them into some smaller Tier 1 Spirit Beasts, which do not consume much Demonic Power. As for control..."

"Hahaha... with his own amateur skills, it certainly would not be enough, but I specially passed on my Tushan 'Split Soul' technique for this, allowing each of his Clones to have their own independent thoughts."

Tushan Qing interjected from the side, saying proudly.

"One thought becomes three thousand..." Xing Yaoyan immediately thought of the ability of a certain anime character from her previous life.

"Hmm, good name. From now on, let us call it 'One Thought Becomes Three Thousand'."

Tushan Qing smacked his lips and nodded with satisfaction.
