I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 312: The Stowaway

Dongfang Mingyue?

Zhang Yuan was slightly taken aback.

This name stirred his memory.

Back when Zhang Yuan was a member of the Furious Whale Gang, he was ordered to escort a Celestial Being team to Qianfeng Mountain to seek treasure.

There was a woman in that group named Dongfang Minglan.

The only difference with Dongfang Mingyue was one character!

And just as Zhang Yuan was in a daze, the young girl in the yellow dress quickly retracted her hand and courteously saluted him.

A very standard Daqian etiquette.

Though surprised, Zhang Yuan feigned ignorance on the surface, cupped his fist, and returned the gesture: "So it’s Miss Dongfang, may I ask who this is?"

His gaze turned to the man in white beside him.

Dongfang Mingyue smirked and said, "This is my cousin, Dongfang Jin, who came with me to the Xia Ruins to train. He doesn’t like to speak with others, so please forgive him, Divine General."

While she was introducing him, the man in white resumed his cold demeanor.

He only nodded slightly at Zhang Yuan.

"No problem."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand: "Let’s go."

In Zhang Yuan’s eyes, these two Celestial Beings who suddenly appeared in the Xia Ruins were quite intriguing.

You could even say very special.

Before arriving at the Xia Ruins, Zhang Yuan had met many Celestial Beings.

His most profound impression of these visitors from the beyond was that they had very distinctive characteristics in their demeanor and conversation, radiating an unsettling sense of inconsistency.

They gave off a slightly awkward, discordant feeling!

This sense of discord, Dongfang Jin had as well.

But Dongfang Mingyue had none of it!

She seemed as if she was born in this world, not arrived through possession, her spirit and body perfectly fused.

Even if her conversation and behavior conformed to the Celestial Beings’ traits.

Beyond that, Zhang Yuan had just activated the Red-eyed Crow’s ability to observe the pair with special vision.

Although both their heads emitted almost identical halos of purple light, Dongfang Jin’s light was interlaced with black threads, while Dongfang Mingyue’s was impeccably pure.

Why this was the case, Zhang Yuan could not yet understand.

But he had a vague feeling that this young heiress was also a very special existence among the Celestial Beings!

With intense doubts in mind, Zhang Yuan led the two to a restaurant near the Celestial King Hall.

He had the shopkeeper arrange the best private room.

After taking their seats, Zhang Yuan courteously handed the menu to Dongfang Mingyue.

Dongfang Mingyue declined politely: "You decide."

Zhang Yuan did not insist and directly instructed the maid to bring up the best food and drinks the restaurant had.

Dongfang Mingyue smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity, sir."

Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "The Xia Ruins is a desolate place, not comparable to Daqian in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. I hope Miss Dongfang doesn’t mind."

He raised his glass: "A toast to the two of you."

After speaking, he downed the fine wine in his cup.

"Thank you."

Dongfang Mingyue hesitated for a moment, then also drank a glass of wine.

However, her tolerance was low, and her face quickly turned a rosy hue, adding an extra touch of charm and beauty.

Sitting beside her, Dongfang Jin did not even touch the glass of wine in front of him.

Zhang Yuan pretended not to notice, speaking only to Dongfang Mingyue: "Miss Dongfang, is there something you need at the Celestial King Hall? If the matter isn’t too big, I might be able to help."

It wasn’t that Zhang Yuan wanted to curry favor; his goal in establishing contact was to learn more about the Celestial Beings.

"It’s like this."

Dongfang Mingyue placed her wine glass down, then opened the pouch she carried, took out a scroll, and spread it for Zhang Yuan to see: "My task this time in coming to the Xia Ruins is to capture this man."

The paper she brought out was small, with a vivid portrait drawn on it.

The man on the paper appeared to be around thirty years old, with a lean face, high cheekbones, and a pair of narrow, vicious eyes. On his left cheek was a scar, twisted like a centipede, very menacing.

Clearly no decent person!

"His nickname is the White Wolf."

Dongfang Mingyue explained: "This person is a Tier Five expert, skilled in assassination and disguise techniques, extremely ruthless. We’ve received information suggesting he has likely already infiltrated the Xia Ruins."

According to this young lady Celestial Being, she and Dongfang Jin have been tracking him all the way to the Xia Ruins.

Before arriving at the Celestial King Hall, they had visited several prominent families in the city.

And issued a bounty!

Anyone able to capture or kill the White Wolf can choose one of the following: a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, a Profound Artifact, or fifty thousand taels of silver!

A considerable offer!

Zhang Yuan was secretly amazed at hearing this.

He knew of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, reputed to refine one’s root bone to enhance martial arts talent.

Its value is self-evident.

He didn’t need to mention the Profound Artifact and silver.

But considering the wanted person was a Tier Five expert skilled in assassination and disguise techniques, it seemed quite reasonable.

Zhang Yuan realized: "You’re thinking of issuing the bounty at the Celestial King Hall too?"

"Yes."

Dongfang Mingyue candidly responded: "I’ll be investigating the White Wolf in the Xia Ruins until my fellow tribe members arrive."

Fellow tribe members?

Zhang Yuan’s eyelid twitched, and suddenly he asked: "Is this White Wolf also a Celestial Being?"

Dongfang Mingyue instinctively replied: "Yes."

The moment she finished speaking, Dongfang Jin, who had been silent, suddenly lashed out: "That’s not your question to ask!"

This Tier Five expert unleashed an astonishing aura, locking onto Zhang Yuan instantly.

The atmosphere in the private room became tense and explosive!

Zhang Yuan immediately felt immense pressure from the other party.

However, he didn’t show any panic and, meeting Dongfang Jin’s cold gaze, calmly asked: "Really?"

"It’s fine."

Dongfang Mingyue shook her head at Dongfang Jin, then said to Zhang Yuan: "You’re right, though this White Wolf counts as a Celestial Being, he is different from us."

After a pause, this heiress continued, "We arrived in this world through legitimate procedures, but the White Wolf used illegal methods. He’s a stowaway!"

Stowaway?

Could someone from another world stowaway here?

This time, Zhang Yuan was genuinely stunned.

The information conveyed by her words was overwhelming, nearly causing his brain to crash.

But Zhang Yuan quickly recovered.

This meal was truly worth it,

as Dongfang Mingyue’s revelations were indeed extraordinary, allowing Zhang Yuan a glimpse into the Celestial Beings’ secrets!

"Precisely because he is an illegal stowaway..."

Dongfang Mingyue continued, "he won’t follow any rules, acting recklessly, having killed many innocents, and severely tarnishing our reputation, so he must be eliminated."

"That’s exactly why I’m here!"

The reputation of the Celestial Beings?

Zhang Yuan felt like laughing as he listened.

But if what Dongfang Mingyue said was true, then this so-called White Wolf definitely deserved to die.

But can they really be trusted?
