Chapter 2665: Gathering in the Return from Faraway Mansion!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Liu Jie would only leave the outskirts of the Royal Capital and return to the Return from Faraway Mansion a day later.
Elegance’s evolution to Myth Breed allowed it to gain an exclusive skill that was very helpful for combat. The insect-species carcinoma feys under its control had also all increased in power.
His increase in power made Liu Jie even more excited to battle Lin Yuan.
Liu Jie knew that when it came to power, he could never hope to compare to
Lin Yuan.
He only wanted so badly to battle with Lin Yuan because he wanted to prove his determination!
Liu Jie wanted to show Lin Yuan how he had improved.
This was the same way that Wen Yu felt pressed to demonstrate her strategic value!
With the exclusive skill that Elegance gained, Liu Jie’s insect-species carcinoma feys and the fairies had changed in ways that might be able to cause Lin Yuan to stumble during battle!
When Lin Yuan returned from the Radiant Moon Palace yesterday, he received a call from Gao Feng.
“Ah Yuan, I didn’t expect you to have done so much while I was in seclusion! I just came out of seclusion. Let’s have a get-together! I haven’t had Zong Ze and Liu Jie’s cooking in a very long time. I miss them so much! Liu Jie is with you, right? I will get in contact with Zong Ze. If we are all available, we can have a meal together!”
Lin Yuan smiled and said, “No problem. We went to Zong Ze’s place the last time. Let’s do it at my place this time!”
Lin Yuan could tell that Gao Feng had not changed at all. He did not feel hostility toward him and was still his old self.
Frankly, Lin Yuan was also missing Zong Ze, Gao Feng, and the rest. They could use this opportunity to have a proper gathering before they headed to the Radiance Sacred Hall!
Since Lin Yuan had set his mansion as the location for this gathering, it meant that he was the host.
Lin Yuan intended to contact Gu Lang, An He, and his new friend Xia Qing to invite them to this gathering at the Return from Faraway Mansion.
They could decide for themselves if they wanted to come. They should all be very busy at such a time. Lin Yuan would not force them to come if they could not make the time.
When Gao Feng heard what Lin Yuan said, he smiled and said, “It looks like we’ll be able to enjoy another feast of flavor! I heard that Zong Ze had improved substantially. He is probably preparing to fight you and Xia Qing for a spot as a Radiance Envoy.”
Gao Feng spoke in a very casual tone.
This was because he had no intention of vying for a spot as a Radiance Envoy.
He did not have the power to allow him to do so, even if he wanted to.
Additionally, just like Wen Yu, he was already unofficially selected as a Radiance Knight.
He was also irreplaceable due to the Memory-consuming Eight Tunes Box.
As a support-type spirit qi professional, he only needed to ensure he had abilities that no one could replicate or replace! There was no need for him to come up with ways to defeat enemies because support-type spirit qi professionals always went into battle with a team, and the team needed to protect their support-type teammates.
Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head.
He was already standing at the top of the main world and was the savior of the main world.
It was possible that even the Moon Empress would not be a match for him in combat.
Hence, there was no question that he could secure one of the Radiance Envoy spots!
Lin Yuan knew that the Moon Empress wanted him to become a Radiance Envoy and also intended to do so.
As a transmigrator born into this world, Lin Yuan already saw himself as a part of the Radiance Federation.
He had already decided to take on the duty of safeguarding the Radiance Federation back when he first participated in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.
He had upheld that decision ever since then.
After hanging up the call with Gao Feng, he received a call from Zong Ze before he could call Gu Lang and An He.
When he picked up the call, Lin Yuan heard Zong Ze’s happy voice on the other end.
The more he got to know Zong Ze, the more he felt that Zong Ze had schizophrenic tendencies.
This was not a wrongful accusation.
Those who understood Zong Ze would think that he was cold and aloof. This made people want to stay far away. But once one got to know Zong Ze better, one would realize that he had a cold exterior but warm interior.
Normally, those with cold exteriors and warm interiors were like cups of warm water. However, Zong Ze was more like a cup of lava.
Lin Yuan only saw Zong Ze as a friend, but he had no idea that Zong Ze saw him in a special way.
His curse had afflicted Zong Ze for a very long time. Lin Yuan was the one who saved him from this curse.
But as he spent more time with Lin Yuan, he found himself becoming more taken with Lin Yuan’s personality.
Otherwise, he would not see Lin Yuan with the same level of importance as Gu Lang after only knowing each other for such a short time.
“Lin Yuan, congratulations on all your achievements and improvements! You will soon become a Radiance Envoy and participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. You’ll probably be setting off for the Radiance Sacred Hall the day after tomorrow.
“I was just on the phone with Gao Feng. Since we have time now, why don’t we all gather together? It’ll also give you the chance to taste my upgraded skills!”
Lin Yuan smiled and said, “Zong Ze, you can come anytime. You can stay here too. Big Brother Liu has just become an A-rank spirit qu professional. He is currently increasing the power of Elegance and his other insect-species carcinoma feys. He’ll only be back later. Gao Feng will be here tomorrow. I will also contact Gu Lang, An He, and Xia Qing.”
On the other end of the call, Zong Ze was beaming toothily.
If Chef Supreme saw Zong Ze now, he would definitely wonder if his disciple had hit his head and was experiencing mental issues. He had never seen him smile like this in all his years of knowing Zong Ze!
“Lin Yuan, Gu Lang and An He are with me. I’ll take the two of them over with me. They are insisting that I train with them!”
Previously, An He had not been on good terms with Gu Lang and Zong Ze. Lin Yuan brought them together and allowed them to slowly turn from enemies to friends.
It could be said that Lin Yuan was the center of the group.
Zong Ze paused momentarily before continuing, “We aren’t too familiar with
Xia Qing. You can contact her!”
Zong Ze was telling the truth. He, Gu Lang, and An He were not close to Xia Qing.
This was because she never used to take them seriously. She had extremely high standards and never thought much of them.
She only noticed Liu Jie because Liu Jie had protected Cold Frost City.
The only ones Xia Qing took seriously were Lin Yuan and Liu Jie.
If anyone else called to invite her, she would definitely turn them down. But not if the call came from Lin Yuan!
Lin Yuan just mentioned that Liu Jie had become an A-rank spirit qi professional and that Elegance had evolved to Myth Breed.
Elegance was a very unreasonable fey. It was the only fey that Liu Jie could contract.
When its grade was low, it had been very weak. But once it evolved to Gold grade and its three abilities allowed it to control and produce armies of insects, its power became astonishing.
Otherwise, Liu Jie would never have been able to become part of the Radiance Hundred Sequence with just one fey.
When Elegance evolved to Myth Breed, every insect that Elegance controlled skyrocketed in power.
Zong Ze could not be fully confident that he would be able to defeat Liu Jie’s Suzerain/Myth Insect Queen.
Moreover, Elegance was no longer Liu Jie’s strongest source of power!
Liu Jie’s true source of power were the Diamond alien insects and Myth Breed insect-species fairies.
Zong Ze was envious of his friends’ improvements but never resented them.
Zong Ze had remained by Chef Supreme’s side for the entire month before his lifespan was supposed to come to an end.
Zong Ze thought that Chef Supreme was going to leave him, and he had been devastated and miserable. To him, Chef Supreme’s death was no different from the death of his parents, as he had grown up by Chef Supreme’s side.
Zong Ze had a strong will, but he could not help but cry when he was alone at night.
Later, the Radiant Moon Palace sent over a fey called the Lifespan Mouse. Once Chef Supreme formed a contract with it, his lifespan was no longer limited.
Zong Ze later found out that the Lifespan Mouse had come from Lin Yuan.
This caused Zong Ze to feel even more grateful to Lin Yuan.
“I will go and get more ingredients. I know what all of you like to eat! If the Mother of Bloodbath is there too, I can prepare some roast meat too. Otherwise, the little dishes I make might not be enough to satisfy the Mother of Bloodbath’s appetite!”
Zong Ze had a vivid memory of the Mother of Bloodbath’s appetite.
Unlike Liu Jie, Zong Ze was not used to making dishes with large portions. He preferred making small, intricate dishes that were always a feast for the eyes. The dishes he made could usually be finished with one mouthful.
As a result, no one felt full and was always left wanting more after eating his dishes. Luckily, he always made a large variety to ensure his guests were full.
The only thing that Zong Ze could think of that would satisfy the Mother of Bloodbath’s appetite was roasting a large animal.
Due to the relationship between Zong Ze and Lin Yuan, he immensely respected the Mother of Bloodbath after discovering it was Lin Yuan’s Path Protector. He began seeing the Mother of Bloodbath as his senior.
Otherwise, he would never consider the Mother of Bloodbath’s feelings when he was preparing ingredients!
Phone calls were not soundproof. With the Mother of Bloodbath’s power, it easily overheard Zong Ze and Lin Yuan’s conversation.
When it heard that Zong Ze was coming over, the Mother of Bloodbath could not help but become excited, and its gluttonous spirit sparked to life!
Zong Ze and Liu Jie were equals when it came to their culinary skills. The Mother of Bloodbath loved both of their food.
After it became used to Liu Jie’s food, the Mother of Bloodbath only became interested in other food if it came from Zong Ze.
“Lin Yuan, I’ll go and see Zong Ze so I can help him carry the items.”
Lin Yuan knew what the Mother of Bloodbath was thinking and plotting. It was worried that Liu Jie would not prepare sufficient ingredients or that the ingredients would not suit its tastes.
Liu Jie was almost done evolving his feys. The Mother of Bloodbath could use this opportunity to indulge as much as it wanted.
Liu Jie had already made more dishes than usual last night, and all of them had been large portions.
However, it had still not been enough for the Mother of Bloodbath.
Zong Ze heard the Mother of Bloodbath’s voice through his call with Lin Yuan. Thus, he asked Lin Yuan for the Mother of Bloodbath’s number.
Once he was done with his call with Lin Yuan, Zong Ze called the Mother of Bloodbath and arranged for a place to meet.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan called Xia Qing and invited her.
Ever since the Dead Spirits Wells were constructed, Xia Qing had been busy battling the dead spirits.
She was only forced to return to her usual residence because she needed to participate in the upcoming Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and would have to report to Radiance Sacred Hall two days later.
Xia Qing would never have agreed if an invitation had come from anyone else at such a time because she felt that the time would be better spent killing more dead spirits!
But since the invitation was coming from Lin Yuan, it was a different story.
At first, Xia Qing had only been curious about Lin Yuan. She wondered how he had managed to acquire all his power at his young age.
Only when Lin Yuan killed the Freedom Envoy Liu Yifan she formed a positive impression of him.
When the positive emotions settled, Xia Qing first thought that she had developed romantic feelings for him. This caused her to panic slightly.
But after she cleared her mind, she realized that her emotions did not come from a place of romance but rather deep respect.
This respect had only just taken root in Xia Qing and Lin Yuan went on to accomplish many great things. All the great things he did nurtured the respect she felt into a towering tree!
To only discuss recent events, Xia Qing personally experienced the dangers of battling the dead spirits and understood the Radiance Federation’s troops’ circumstances better than anyone else.
The environment concentrated with death aura stripped away all of the troops’ vivacity, and after the death spirits injured them, the death aura contaminated their bodies. Since regular healing-type feys could not heal these injuries, they had no choice but to amputate the contaminated parts or resign themselves to death.
Xia Qing had been very stressed about this.
Yet, Lin Yuan managed to solve both of these issues within the short span of a week!
How could a person like this not draw respect out of Xia Qing?
“I only just returned from the Dead Spirits Wells. I’ll go over to see you once I clean myself up! I can’t cook, but I can bring some ingredients.”
Xia Qing was not good at expressing herself. However, she felt just as grateful to Lin Yuan as Zong Ze did. This was because Lin Yuan had saved her grandfather, her only remaining family.
After he invited Xia Qing, Lin Yuan stretched.
At this moment, Lin Yuan intended to rest and have a good time with his friends. He would wait calmly for Tower Canon to make their move.
He knew that Tower Canon would never allow the dimensional lifeforms to continue fending off the dead spirits or for the dead spirits to become fuel for the dimensional lifeforms!
