Pearl Milkstone (4)
Pearl Milkstone (4)
As a human?
Shen Yanxiao liked her race. They knew when to advance, to retreat, and to stop. That was their greatest advantage.
"I didn't expect to see such a huge milkstone after so long." Xiu's voice suddenly echoed in Shen Yanxiao's mind.
Shen Yanxiao was mildly surprised by the comment. Ever since Yun Qi told her about the Warlocks' decline, she had a theory about it.
Could the last god be Xiu?
Xiu was powerful and mysterious. Moreover, he had the unique features of a god—his golden eyes. With so much evidence leading her to think in that direction, Shen Yanxiao could not be blamed for her wild thoughts.
However, Shen Yanxiao felt saddened by that thought. If Xiu was really that god, then how sad and disappointed would he be when the humans had done such disrespectful things to him?
As a human, she did not know what to say to Xiu. Even though she had her suspicions, she did not dare to ask.
She felt guilty.
"Oh, you know about this?" Shen Yanxiao shook her head to get rid of those thoughts. Xiu had also heard what Yun Qi had said that day, but he did not exhibit any special reaction. It was better if she did not cause trouble for herself by prying into Xiu's business.
"Yes."
"…" Just a 'Yes'? And?
Shen Yanxiao was speechless. The lord's unfriendly attitude had not changed at all.
"What is the use of this?" Shen Yanxiao had no choice but to ask.
"There are many uses for it, but many years ago, Demons loved to devour the power in the milkstone."
"Power? Inside this?" Shen Yanxiao blinked and looked at the hard Pearl Milkstone in her hand with uncertainty. She could not sense any power from the stone.
"Merfolks live in the deep sea for almost their entire lives. They are basically children raised by the sea. As a result, their tears had the ability to integrate one's power, making it very important for many races. It can harmonize the consumer's power and refine it into a purer form. But, it is mostly used by mixed-bloods."
"Why do you say that?" Shen Yanxiao was excited when she heard that. After all, she was one-fourth of an elf. Maybe she could even use the pearl.
"Even though a child can be produced from the marriage of two different races, the power that the child inherited from their parents will most likely than not clash with each other, causing great harm to the newborn. That is also the reason why it is difficult for mixed-bloods born to survive for so long. But this pearl can mediate the conflicts in their bodies." Xiu answered Shen Yanxiao dutifully because he realized that the pearl was very useful to Shen Yanxiao.
"Erm, can I use it?" Shen Yanxiao was overwhelmed with emotions. This pearl was very beneficial to her. Even though she did not currently feel any conflict with her bloodline, it was only because her bloodline had yet to fully awaken. Furthermore, with Xiu suppressing it, she was safe for now. However, with this pearl, she would not have to worry anymore even if her elvish blood had awakened.
"Sure."
"Hehe, Xiu, can do me a favor and tell me how to use this." Shen Yanxiao beamed with joy. She would never let go of good stuff. In any case, humans only used Pearl Milkstones as ornaments. Even if she were to use it to integrate her bloodline, those people would not notice it.
