Chapter 742 742: Zhu Yan's True Identity!
Rongrong knew that Elder Yang would definitely say something hurtful to reject her again, but Rongrong did not want him to say it right in front of others like this, so she immediately interrupted him halfway: “I get it, Yangyang. I will not force you again from now on. I will patiently wait until you are truly ready to accept me.”
Elder Yang sighed in relief after he heard Rongrong’s words.
The several Nascent Soul Stage elders felt as if they had become the third wheel for them right now, while Tang Li Xue, who was secretly followed right behind Elder Yang, snorted disdainfully at them.
…..
Right at this time, Gu Shengxin had already hastily headed to Zhu Yan’s place with an expression filled with worry.
He was really worried that the fox demon had done something bad to Zhu Yan.
But when Gu Shengxin stepped into Zhu Yan’s courtyard, he suddenly recalled Rongrong’s warning just now.
Yes, before Rongrong met with Elder Yang and the others, she actually called Gu Shengxin a few minutes ago with her communication talisman.
Rongrong had already told her speculation and suspicion about Zhu Yan’s true identity to Gu Shengxin.
Of course, Gu Shengxin did not actually believe Rongrong’s words right away since he really fell in love with Zhu Yan.
However, Rongrong still insisted that Gu Shengxin not meet with Zhu Yan alone and told him to wait for a while until a Nascent Soul Stage elder she sends arrives there to protect him.
Rongrong even warned Gu Shengxin to not approach Zhu Yan carelessly at least until the Nascent Soul Stage elder she sent checked Zhu Yan with his [Mirror of Revelation].
After hesitating for a few moments, Gu Shengxin finally decided to just follow Rongrong’s arrangement.
Gu Shengxin actually trusted Zhu Yan very much in his heart since Zhu Yan had already saved his life many times, but he thought there was nothing wrong at all with Rongrong’s careful thought.
It did not take long for the Nascent Soul Stage elder sent by Rongrong to come and meet with Gu Shengxin.
“Gu Shengxin greet Elder.” Gu Shengxin gave a fist and palm salute while lowering his head to the Nascent Soul Stage elder.
The Nascent Soul Stage elder from Immortal Sword Sect nodded back to Gu Shengxin with a polite smile on his middle-aged face.
But before the Nascent Soul Stage elder followed Gu Shengxin to enter Zhu Yan’s courtyard, he reminded Gu Shengxin again in a solemn tone: “Let’s go in, Young Master Gu. But I have to remind you once again that you better not approach that little girl carelessly later until I use my [Mirror of Revelation] to check her.”
“I know this might sound absurd and impolite, but I do it for Young Master Gu’s own good. It would be really bad if that little girl were also a beast in disguise just like the previous fox demon, and she took Young Master Gu as her hostage to escape from here. I hope Young Master Gu can understand my worries.” The Nascent Soul Stage elder politely said to Gu Shengxin.
Gu Shengxin’s expression was also changed to serious after he heard the Nascent Soul Stage elder’s reminder. He nodded in understanding while saying: “Do not worry, Elder. I understand.”
Then both Gu Shengxin and the Nascent Soul Stage elder stepped into Zhu Yan’s courtyard together.
Gu Shengxin knocked on the door of Zhu Yan’s room several times, but Zhu Yan did not immediately open it.
“Who is it?” Zhu Yan carefully asked from inside her room.
“Yan’er, quickly open the door! This is your Brother Sheng!” Gu Shengxin urged Zhu Yan in an excited tone.
Zhu Yan immediately opened the door of her room without any hesitation while happily shouting: “Brother Sheng~!”
Unfortunately for Zhu Yan, Gu Shengxin stepped back to take some distance from her instead.
The Nascent Soul Stage elder had already taken out his [Mirror of Revelation] from his spatial ring and pointed it at Zhu Yan who had just come out from her room!
Without giving Zhu Yan any chance to react, the Nascent Soul Stage elder activated the [Mirror of Revelation] in his grasp, and the [Mirror of Revelation] let out a light toward Zhu Yan!
In that instant, Zhu Yan’s disguise or transfiguration ability was canceled by the light from the [Mirror of Revelation], and she turned back from her human form to her sea beast form!
Just like what Tang Li Xue had guessed, Zhu Yan’s true identity was actually the Sea Beast Princess Yan Fei!
Her true form was actually a half-fish and half-human sea beast creature like a mermaid in the storybook.
Her feet to her waist were like fish with beautiful jade-colored scales, while from her waist to the rest of her upper part was just like a human, except for her ears which were like a pair of fins.
Zhu Yan was stunned for a while by the effect of the [Mirror of Revelation], but she slowly regained her consciousness while muttering: “Brother… Sheng…”
When Zhu Yan raised her head to see Gu Shengxin, she saw that Gu Shengxin glared at her with a pair of eyes filled with anger, resentment, and disgust instead!
“You damn monster! How dare you sneak into Gu Family’s mansion and even try to seduce me?!” Gu Shengxin shouted in great rage as he kicked Zhu Yan away.
BAAAANNGG~!Gu Shengxin did not even hold back any of his strength and kicked Zhu Yan with all of his strength until she was thrown off a dozen meters and crashed onto the wall of her own room.
Zhu Yan slit down from the wall while spurting out a few mouthfuls of blood.
“Puuufff~! Cough… Cough… Brother… Sheng… I… am really sorry… But I did not mean to… Cough… Cough… ” Zhu Yan tried to explain with a pair of tearful eyes while kept coughing another few mouthfuls of blood.
“Shut up, you damn disgusting monster! DIEEE~!” Gu Shengxin took out a spirit sword from his spatial ring and brandished it at Zhu Yan without any shed of mercy.
Zhu Yan closed her eyes in resignation and helplessness as her tears dripped down to the floor.
But right before Gu Shengxin’s spirit sword almost cut Zhu Yan’s neck, the Nascent Soul Stage elder suddenly caught Gu Shengxin’s hand to stop him from killing Zhu Yan.
Gu Shengxin frowned deeply in displeasure as he questioned the Nascent Soul Stage elder: “Elder, what do you mean by this? Why did you stop me from killing this deceitful monster?”
The Nascent Soul Stage elder released Gu Shengxin’s hand and tried to comfort Gu Shengxin: “Please calm down a bit, Young Master Gu. I completely understand Young Master Gu’s anger, but killing her right now will not bring any benefit to us. On the contrary, keeping her alive will definitely bring a lot of advantages to us.”
Gu Shengxin took a deep breath to calm down his anger and displeasure of being deceived by Zhu Yan, then he asked in a curious tone: “Forgive me for being ignorant, but please, Elder explain it to me, so I can understand it clearly.”
The Nascent Soul Stage elder chuckled as he explained it to clear Gu Shengxin’s doubt: “I have already seen this kind of beast in the ancient book. Her jade-like scale might look beautiful, but that is not the most precious thing about her.”
Gu Shengxin became even more interesting as he asked again: “Oh? Then what is the most precious thing about this beast?”
The Nascent Soul Stage elder suddenly crouched down and picked something on the floor, then said: “This is the most precious thing from her.”
Gu Shengxin took the item from the Nascent Soul Stage elder and carefully examined it.
It was actually a tiny transparent crystal emitting a mysterious white glow!
“What is this?” Gu Shengxin muttered in puzzlement.
“That is her crystalized tears. It has many wonderful effects such as prolonging lifespan, dramatically increasing the effect of any pills if you add while concocting them, making anyone who consumes it look young forever, and many other more.” The Nascent Soul Stage elder explained with a delightful tone. He could even barely hide his excitement in his words.
Gu Shengxin’s eyes shone brightly after he heard the words from Nascent Soul Stage elder.
Then the Nascent Soul Stage elder added a few more words: “The advantage of keeping her alive is not only that… If we spread the news about her getting caught by us, we definitely can bait the fox demon who stole the treasures from your family’s treasure warehouse to save her!”
“At that time, we can take that chance to catch that fox demon and take back the treasures that fox demon stole!”
“In the end, we can get our hands on this rare fish beast, that precious fox demon, and even get back the stolen treasures! We will catch three birds in one stone! What does Young Master Gu think? This old one’s plan is quite good, right?” The Nascent Soul Stage elder proudly said to Gu Shengxin.
