When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1148 Xuanyu 4
“I saw it,” Tan You nodded, not belittling the Star Chart: “If it weren’t for you today, I probably would have been able to get through the last tribulation lightning, but I would have been seriously injured.”

"It's good that you know," Xingchentu said happily. "But it's okay if the injury is serious. Anyway, the formation around you is as solid as an iron barrel. Even if there are still cultivators spying on you, you can still do nothing to them."

"You're a cunning fellow, you're full of tricks."

Tan You smiled but remained silent. She had no idea that there would be helpers during her tribulation, so she naturally had to plan everything carefully. She just hadn't expected the suddenly appearing star map to be so helpful.

“You look much more solid,” Tan You said casually. “By the way, do you even have a physical form? You can’t just be this blurry shadow, can you?”

“It has a physical form,” the star map hesitated for a moment, then Tan You suddenly sounded alarm bells: “You don’t need to say the rest, you can tell it’s going to be a big problem just by listening to it.”

“That won’t do,” the Star Chart wouldn’t let Tan You off the hook: “It’s fate that we met. I’m very useful. Once I grow up, I can even obscure the secrets of heaven, and no one will be able to deduce your location.”

"Thank you, but your pie is too big. When will I be able to eat it?" Tan You teased it, "I might get killed before I even get you a real one."

"Do you think the Merfolk will let me go? There's also Yin Yue watching from the sidelines. I can't even protect myself."

"Don't be modest, your formation is truly exceptional," the Star Chart said knowledgeably. "With its perfect balance of offense and defense, who can possibly defeat you?"

"No matter how strong the formation is, it's useless if your own martial arts skills aren't up to par." Tan You wouldn't be fooled by the Star Chart's manipulation. She expressionlessly swept across the mountains and rivers: "They sealed off the space I was in right away. Do you expect me to talk about formations with them? That would be too late. It's not like I'm going to die."

The Star Chart said, "Then what do you suggest? If you don't help me get a physical form, even if you reach a certain level of cultivation and ascend to the upper realm, you'll still die."

Tan You raised an eyebrow slightly: "A story? Tell me."

“There’s nothing you can do about it now,” Star Chart said irritably. “The more you know, the faster you’ll die.”

"Whether I live or die is my business, whether you speak or not is your business," Tan You said with a smile. "Tell me what you know first, and then I'll decide whether to agree to your conditions."

"Alright, let's find a place and have a detailed discussion." The Star Chart can only rely on Tan You now. It's just a fleeting, illusory consciousness. Even if it has a way to find those scattered fragments of divine artifacts, it's just delivering goods to those sects.

It would be better to rely on Tan You, since the Star Chart is, in essence, a treasure of the Xuanwei Merfolk. So, it's only natural for the clan to honor their ancestor, right?

After finding a secluded valley, Tan You stopped and, after setting up the array, looked at the star map floating in front of her: "How long have you been following me?"

The star chart twisted, but still told the truth: "The first time you lit up a star."

Tan You thought about how she had been stargazing without interruption for the past five years, and she hadn't expected this guy to be so patient, remaining completely silent. He only jumped out when she was about to collapse during her tribulation; his patience was truly remarkable.

Tan You chuckled: "Tell me, how did I end up in the lower realm?"

The star map pretended to be dead, and Tan You hummed in agreement: "Although I was just undergoing tribulation, I did hear that there are no Xuanwei Merfolk in the lower realm. Moreover, I grew up among the Merfolk, and I am the only Xuanwei Merfolk in the entire Merfolk clan, which is very puzzling."

"I hate people like you who are so cunning." Star Chart had no choice; none of the Xuanwei Merfolk were stupid.

"You yourself are as cunning as the stars in the sky, and you're telling me you're cunning?" Tan You retorted sarcastically without any politeness. "We need to have an open and honest talk today, or don't blame me for quitting." "Tell me, tell me," the star map circled in front of Tan You, "Let me think where to begin."

"You heard right. The Xuanwei Merfolk are a race from the upper realm, and they hold a noble position among the Merfolk. As for the Golden-Tailed and Silver-Tailed Merfolk from the lower realm, they are all vassals of the Xuanwei Merfolk."

Tan You asked curiously, "Then why are there no Xuanwei Merfolk in the lower realm?"

“The Xuanwei Merfolk can glimpse the secrets of heaven,” Xingchentu sneered. “They have difficulty producing offspring, and they lack powerful martial arts. Despite their extraordinary abilities, they have no power to protect themselves, and in the end, they are nothing more than livestock to be kept by others.”

"It's just that the name sounds nicer, and at least they've given us the title of Daoist partners."

Tan You: "As far as I know, anyone who embarks on cultivation will have difficulty conceiving."

“That’s the general case,” the star chart circled, “who wouldn’t want a bloodline that can glimpse the secrets of heaven? Helian Qiao and your mother Xuan Qi spent nearly a thousand years to conceive you, this little fish egg.”

"Before you were born, Xuanqi prophesied that the two daughters of the Helian family were destined to be gods."

"Two daughters?" Tan You's eyebrows twitched. "Does Helian Qiao have other children?"

"Yes, he also has an eldest son. When I took you away from the Upper Realm, Helian Sheng was already a third-rank Immortal Lord."

Since they were already in the same boat, the Star Chart spoke frankly: "Clearly, only Xuanqi and Helian Qiao knew about the divination on that day, but somehow, outsiders found out about it."

"The prophecy only mentioned the two daughters of the Helian family. If these two daughters are no longer alive..."

Tan You finally understood: "So it was Helian Qiao's concubines who did it?"

"Your mother, Xuanqi, occupies the position of Daoist partner. In addition, Helian Qiao has three concubines, all of whom come from prominent families in the Upper Realm: the Zhongli family, the Huangfu family, and the Nangong family."

"Huangfuwei was also pregnant when you were born."

Tan You pondered these complicated interpersonal relationships, and after sorting them out, she glanced at the star chart: "And what about you?"

“Me,” the Star Chart sighed, “I am the most precious Star Chart of the Xuanwei Merfolk, and it was once Xuanqi’s magic weapon. Who wouldn’t covet the destiny of a Supreme God? There are only two Supreme Gods in the entire Immortal Realm. If a family produces a Supreme God, the entire landscape will change drastically.”

"It wasn't just the Huangfu clan that actually took action. When I led you to escape from the Upper Realm, Xuanqi perished while protecting you, and my true form was also shattered into five pieces by an unknown immortal lord and scattered in various places across the Cloud Ascension Continent."

"Astrological chart?" Tan You raised an eyebrow slightly, then smiled and said, "I understand."

"That's it?" Star Chart exclaimed in surprise, "You only have this reaction?"

"How should I react?" Tan You shrugged, unmoved. "I suffered so many injuries while undergoing the tribulation of lightning. Even if I wanted to find your original body, it wouldn't be a quick process."

"Let me recover from my injuries first. By the way, since you are the clan's most precious treasure, how about a few cultivation techniques?"
