Chapter 1264

Beside them, Sovereign Jiazi covered her ears with both hands, then piped up in a small voice: "Xiaoyu, you're not human!"

"Oh!" Xiaoyu laughed. "Right, I'm not human. General Su really knows how to coax a pet beast!"

"I'm not coaxing you!" Su Yang said with a smile. "Even if I did want a water-type pet beast, I probably still wouldn't consider a mermaid — after all, I already have you."

"General Su likes fresh ones!" Sovereign Jiazi suddenly cut in again. "He wants something different, something he's never played with before."

Xiaoyu glanced at Sovereign Jiazi and asked in a low voice: "General Su, is what Sovereign Jiazi said true?"

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Su Yang said, a little annoyed. "I might still need a water-type pet beast, but since I have you, I'd probably consider one with stronger functionality and a broader range of adaptability!"

"Like that three-headed demon shark from last time?"

"Exactly!" Su Yang nodded. "The three-headed demon shark is pretty good!"

"General Su really won't consider my sister?"

"Won't consider it!"

Xiaoyu whispered into Su Yang's ear: "Mermaids can have children with humans!"

This was practically a bare-faced temptation!

"Still won't consider it!"

Su Yang was an old hand who had weathered countless trials.

Using something like this to test him was honestly a bit of an insult.

"What about my mother? Once you become a Sovereign-Rank beast tamer, you could totally consider it!"

"Uh… forget it!"

Su Yang could feel the resentment Xiaoyu harbored toward her mother and sister.

To an outsider, Xiaoyu might seem a bit scheming and selfish, but after all, she was his pet beast!

As long as she was obedient, these little schemes were perfectly tolerable.

"Xiaoyu, have you ever thought that if I signed a contract with your sister, or your mother, the ones who would actually benefit most are still them?" Su Yang said quietly. "Think about it — what would they get from me?"

Xiaoyu suddenly caught on: "Now that you mention it, that does seem true…"

"Right now, things are actually pretty good!" Su Yang lectured. "Your mother is dead set on pushing your sister's bloodline potential to break through to Divine Rank, but the odds of succeeding by taking the Ocean Pearl are extremely slim — she might have already failed. Yet you already possess Divine-Rank potential. If she found out, she'd probably be furious enough to drop dead on the spot!"

"Right, let's make them furious to death!"

Xiaoyu touched the wounded spot on her chest again.

It was a pain she would never forget in her entire life.

"She wants revenge, I know that clearly. Every time she looks at those spatial rifts, her eyes are full of hatred," Xiaoyu said. "There's no way I'd help her. Once I truly have the strength, I'll let her know that I have the ability to help her, but I'll never lift a finger. Since she wanted my life, I'll make her suffer for the rest of her life… General Su, what do you think?"

"I'm with you. Whatever you want to do, go ahead!"

"General Su, you're so good!"

An ordinary beast tamer might have tried to persuade Xiaoyu to make peace with her mother.

But Su Yang had zero interest in meddling in this kind of family feud.

Don't urge others to be kind unless you've walked in their shoes.

The fact that Xiaoyu's mother had been able to pierce her heart and drive her out of the clan meant there was no longer any affection between them.

Xiaoyu was no kind-hearted fierce beast!

Conveniently, Su Yang wasn't exactly a kind-hearted person either!

Following the direction Xiaoyu indicated, the Storm Eagle flew for a day, and Su Yang sensed the intense spatial energy fluctuations emanating from the spatial fusion point.

That day, Su Yang thought about a lot of things.

He had originally planned to visit the Mermaid Clan through Xiaoyu's connections.

But after hearing about Xiaoyu's relationship with that Sovereign-Rank mermaid, he felt that the idea of the two sides sitting down for a proper talk might be a bit unrealistic.

After all, he was only an Emperor-Rank beast tamer, while Xiaoyu's mother was a Sovereign-Rank fierce beast!

His wanting to talk didn't mean the Sovereign-Rank fierce beast was willing to talk to him.

Even a tiger, vicious as it is, does not eat its cubs.

The fact that she could bring herself to strike a fatal blow against her own daughter showed that Xiaoyu's mother was definitely not someone easy to deal with.

The task of finding the spatial fusion point was fairly easy to complete.

In the Antarctic, he had already tried it — as long as he roughly knew the location of the spatial fusion point, the system acknowledged that he had found it.

The system handled things very flexibly; it didn't really require him to see it with his own eyes.

What he wanted by talking to Xiaoyu's mother was intelligence about the other world.

"Xiaoyu, how strong is your mother?"

Xiaoyu always answered Su Yang's questions without fail: "I've never personally seen my mother fight, but I've heard from the elders that she has Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade strength, only a step away from Divine Rank. However, because of the Jin Lin Mermaid bloodline potential issue, she'll never be able to break through again in this lifetime!"

At this point, a schadenfreude smile spread across Xiaoyu's face.

"If I went up against her, would I stand a chance?"

"Better not!" Xiaoyu said with concern. "We just take a distant look at the spatial fusion point and run."

"I want intelligence about the other world!"

Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said: "If General Su really wants it, I can help you call my sister out. She definitely knows more than I do!"
