In the Radiant Moon Palace’s breeding room, the Moon Empress was concocting with spiritual ingredients. With her natural movements, she completed a bottle of light-purple concoction.
The Moon Empress shook her hand, and the light-purple concoction turned into an aromatic mist that enveloped a Diamond/Epic lotus fey in the lotus pond. This fey quickly absorbed the light-purple aromatic mist, and in a moment, it evolved into Diamond/Legend.
But when doing so, most of the aromatic mist was used up. What was left spread out and was absorbed by the other lotus feys in the lotus pond.
At that moment, the Moon Empress’s cell phone, which she had not used for a long time, on the table rang.
If she wanted to meet anyone, she could just summon them. If anyone wanted to meet her, they had to see whether they were worthy enough to do so.
The Moon Empress did not save many numbers in her cell phone besides those exceptional experts from the Radiance Federation. Of course, there were exceptions, such as Lin Yuan.
The Moon Empress looked at her cell phone, and a gentle smile crept on her cold face when she saw the caller ID. She answered the call. “Lin Yuan, it’s been a while since you came to see me at the Radiant Moon Palace.”
Lin Yuan hurriedly replied, “Master, I went to the Endless Forest for wild harvesting some time ago. I’m now in Redbud City again. I’ll go visit you when I go to the Royal Capital.”
He did not tell her about the dimensional rift outside Millstone Town and the battle that had ensued, as he was afraid she would worry.
Although he said nothing, the Moon Empress had long known about it since it was such a big thing that involved Lin Yuan.
Upon finding out, the Moon Empress marveled at Lin Yuan’s strength. She had always known that he had exceptional talents as a Creation Master, but she did not expect him to be such a powerful combat-class spirit qi professional.
While she was proud of Lin Yuan, she could not help but feel that she had neglected her duties.
The Moon Empress was not worried about Lin Yuan’s safety, as the Mother of Bloodbath was his Path Protector. It could take Lin Yuan away in one piece from even a Class 3 dimensional rift.
After chatting with the Moon Empress for a while, Lin Yuan stated his purpose of calling her. “Master, I would like to ask you a favor.”
Upon hearing that, the Moon Empress nearly giggled in joy. During that period, she had been worried to death. What should she do when her independent disciple did not rely on her, his master?
As a result, the Moon Empress, who rarely went onto Star Web, even searched for posts there but did not find any answers.
She then anonymously posted a post for help, but the answer she had received made her so angry that she almost crushed her phone.
If Cold Moon had not found out that the Moon Empress was angry and had taken the initiative to crush the cell phone on her behalf, the Moon Empress would have crushed it instead.
Now that the Moon Empress heard Lin Yuan had something he needed her help with, the sense of accomplishment as his master arose in her heart.
“Tell me, what do you need my help with?” The Moon Empress said very generously because there was nothing in the world she could not do.
Afterward, Lin Yuan told her about Chu Ci’s situation and his thoughts.
Upon hearing that, the Moon Empress could not help but hold her forehead. She had been happy for nothing. Her disciple sought her help not because he was in trouble but because of his sister.
Nonetheless, the Moon Empress replied very solemnly, “Lin Yuan, don’t worry. I’ll ask Cold Moon to get this done.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan then ordered a Platinum Divine Travel Black Swallow on Star Web and rode it to the Royal Capital.
When he returned to the Royal Capital, he first confirmed his store location.
During this period, Liu Jie had searched for quite a few locations and had sent Lin Yuan the details of each place.
After narrowing them down, Lin Yuan then realized two places were quite good. One of them was where he had gone for an appointment but had been attacked by Cheng Wu, while the other was an excellent location in the Royal Capital’s bustling area.
Lin Yuan needed to choose between the two locations—the well-located bustling area where it was easy to set up the store or the huge one with the nice scenery located in the remote suburbs. However, he still needed to see the places before choosing one.
After he confirmed his store location in the Royal Capital, he would enter a long period of seclusion inside. Firstly, he had to fuse Chimey with the Twilight Willpower Rune and evolve it into a Fantasy Breed. He would then put the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee in Red Thorn’s corrosive cavity and let it hatch. After that, he would evolve the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee into Gold.
Given his strength, Lin Yuan had the possibility of climbing to the 100th floor of the Star Tower and ascending to the Celestial Stairway.
If he were to be fighting and raising his rank in the Celestial Stairway, he could most likely be matched with the Radiance Alliance’s young pinnacle experts.
Lin Yuan had always kept Liu Jie’s Insect Queen in the Pure Land of Bliss. In these few months, the Insect Queen, which had been in imminent danger, had more or less recovered. As long as he spent a few days healing it, it could completely recover. At that time, Liu Jie could restore the Heart of Insect Swarm’s strength, which ranked Sequence #39 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence.
…
Liu Jie, who was helping Lin Yuan find the locations for his store in the Royal Capital, was standing there in a confrontation.
“Liu Jie, you’re becoming worse! You used to be a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, yet you’re actually working as a retainer for a Class 2 Creation Master.”
A man with a pair of peach blossom eyes[1] shouted at Liu Jie. His tone seemed to have a fit of indescribable anger.
But before he could finish his words, a thick voice sounded from the side, stopping the man with the peach blossom eyes from speaking further.
The man with the thick voice turned to Liu Jie and said, “Liu Jie, Bai Hao has a temper like this. When he learned that you were injured, he looked around the entire world for you, but you disappeared without a word.”
Bai Hao snorted and turned away from Liu Jie.
Liu Jie did not expect that he would meet his former teammates. Before Liu Jie had gotten injured, Liu Jie, Bai Hao, and Wang Fan would always go out to train and do missions.
However, after Liu Jie had gotten injured and learned that he could not recover, he felt downhearted and left the Royal Capital.
He had bidden goodbye to his identity of Heart of Insect Swarm, the former Sequence #39 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence, and had become an ordinary down-and-out adventurer.
Upon hearing Bai Hao’s words, Liu Jie, who always had a good temper, frowned and responded in a low voice, “I work for him not because he’s a Creation Master of a certain class or his strength.”
He lowered his head to look at the Class 2 Creation Master crest on his chest and felt that it was particularly hot.
Two months ago, a youth had given him hope for a new lease of life while he was desperate and down, allowing him to once again find his value, his dream, his persistence, and the meaning of his life.
Therefore, Liu Jie had sworn an oath with the Willpower Rune to dedicate his future life as a retainer knight.
However, Liu Jie’s words made Bai Hao tremble. He clenched his teeth and looked at Liu Jie before asking, “Has your Insect Queen been healed?”
When Liu Jie shook his head, Bai Hao clapped. “Congratulations! It hasn’t been healed.”
Bai Hao then left with Wang Fan, who wanted to say something. Wang Fan sighed as he looked at Bai Hao and did not say what he wanted to.
Bai Hao turned around to look at Wang Fan and asked very seriously, “Wang Fan, how much money do you have?”
Wang Fan took out his Star Web Card and handed it to him. “I should have over 20,000,000 Radiance dollars in it.”
Bai Hao took Wang Fan’s Star Web Card and replied, “I’ve saved some money in the past two years, so I have 32,000,000 Radiance dollars in my Star Web Card. Counting yours in, we have over 50,000,000 Radiance dollars. Let’s see if we can get Liu Jie’s Insect Queen healed!”
Wang Fan had long known about Bai Hao’s temper and said helplessly, “You never speak properly. You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Have you never thought that you would hurt Liu Jie when you clapped your hands?”
Bai Hao immediately went silent and only said after some time, “He hurt me first. He left without saying a word and did not treat me as a brother.”
Wang Fan was speechless for a moment and did not speak.
When Liu Jie had been in trouble, the three of them had just pooled their money together to buy spiritual ingredients for Bai Hao to evolve his fey.
Liu Jie had lost his capabilities and had pooled all his savings in his Star Web Card for Bai Hao, so the latter did not know how Liu Jie had been getting along all these years.
At that moment, Bai Hao said, “Before Liu Jie’s Insect Queen is healed, I won’t spend a single penny. I’ll save them for its treatment.” He then let out a strange cry. “Ugh! I can’t reward the Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess anymore during this period. I don’t know if I can maintain my spot of being the top contributing fan.”
Wang Fan rolled his eyes. Bai Hao was becoming more and more like a child. He watched the Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess’s live-streaming on Star Web daily and even rewarded it. He was really hopeless.
