Chapter 178: Have No Choice but to Raise a Leech

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Liu Jie’s heart leaped when Lin Yuan broke the agarwood earlier. Other people with this jade-like agarwood would probably be afraid of breaking them, so they would cautiously store them and pass them down as a family heirloom.

However, Lin Yuan had actually broken it in his hand and used it.

Liu Jie had experienced the shock a few times before, so he was unconsciously used to it.

As compared to Lin Yuan using the jade-like agarwood so easily, he was more concerned about the azure blue bird standing and wheedling on Lin Yuan’s ear.

As a spirit qi professional who had comprehended a Willpower Rune, he could distinguish if a fey was a Fantasy Breed more clearly than ordinary spirit qi professionals. This was because Fantasy Breed feys emitted the Willpower Rune’s scent. To put it bluntly, they carried the world’s willpower on them.

Thus, when Lin Yuan summoned Chimey, Liu Jie could see that it was a Fantasy Breed. Liu Jie felt that Lin Yuan was like a veil of mist that could never be seen clearly.

When he had first met Lin Yuan and became his retainer, Liu Jie knew that Lin Yuan could heal his Insect Queen and was a Class 2 Creation Master. But after interacting with him, Lin Yuan had refreshed his perception, especially this Silver Fantasy Breed avian fey.

However, Liu Jie thought little of it, as he had long positioned himself as the strongest shield in front of Lin Yuan.

The better Lin Yuan’s talents were, and the stronger he was, the more he would encourage Liu Jie. This let him know he needed to work hard again and again to improve his strength. Otherwise, he might not even be qualified to become a shield over time.

Wen Yu looked at the young man, who was playing with the azure blue bird on his ear, through the white mist that rose from the agarwood in the incense burner and felt an indescribable feeling.

The hard work that she had put in for the past two months was more than just gratitude to the young man in front of her. Rather, she had gotten a new lease of life from one of his choices. What she needed to do was to fight for this new lease of life. At the same time, she was very grateful to herself for being optimistic about life.

Without her former self, how could this cheerful young man before her eyes have chosen her?

As the agarwood burned in the incense burner, its smell made it seem as if time had stopped. The quiet scene reflected the bright light from the jade-like furniture and the unspeakable quietness of the passage of time, which was disturbed by the takeout delivery.

After eating lunch, Wen Yu went to rest.

Liu Jie was going to buy some daily necessities and also spiritual ingredients with grades. As Lin Yuan’s retainer, he naturally had to live in the manor with him, so the manor was also considered his home.

Naturally, he could not order takeout for all his meals. Although it might be troublesome for him to cook sometimes, food’s fragrance could make the house cozier.

The 1,000-square-meters manor had a lot of rooms, and Lin Yuan still had to do some detailed planning for the arrangements.

He took out his cell phone and called Chu Ci. Instead of going back home during the holidays, she had gone to participate in the Redbud Hundred’s special training. She had not hidden her talents after returning to school. Her Fantasy Breed Obsidian Iron Wild Bull had attracted the school’s attention in the live combat class. Ling Xiao had also handpicked her as a seeded participant in the Redbud Hundred Sequence.

Lin Yuan was not worried about her training outside during the holidays, as Cold Moon had gone to Redbud City. With Cold Moon around, Chu Ci naturally would not face any dangers. The real danger was the people who had any opinions of her because of her talents.

After hanging up and knowing Chu Ci was doing fine, Lin Yuan suddenly realized Zhang Xiaobai had posted in his friends’ circle. Lin Yuan did not add many people as his friends on his cell phone, except for his Master, the Moon Empress, his sister, Chu Ci, Cold Moon, Mystic Moon, Wen Yu, Liu Jie, and the Extreme Guild Club’s quartet. Adding them up, there were only 11 people. However, they did not usually post in the friends’ circle except for Zhang Xiaobai.

When he opened his friends’ circle, Lin Yuan saw Zhang Xiaobai had taken a photo of a cup with a Bronze wolfberry in it. He wrote the following words:

Zhang Xiaobai: “I have no choice but to raise a leech. Soaking wolfberry in the insulated cup.”

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and replied below.

Lin Yuan: “Wolfberry can hardly stop the leech. Add angelica.”

Lin Yuan was about to put down his cell phone when Zhang Xiaobai suddenly replied to him in the friends’ circle.

Zhang Xiaobai: “Angelica can hardly stop Xin Ying’s hammer. Soak ginseng and deer antler in shaojiu¹.”

Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Xiaobai’s reply and raised his brows. At that moment, Tan Ran replied below.

Tan Ran: “Brother Zhang, are you trying to ‘battle’ with Lin Yuan?”

Zhang Xiaobai: “Actually, when I was about to say, ‘Ginseng and deer antlers are not enough. I also need kidney skewers and kidney supplements.’, Lin Yuan had already lost.”

Lu Pinru: “You’re just craving roasted kidney skewers!”

Xin Ying: “Zhang Xiaobai, did you pour the wolfberry drink I gave you into the toilet bowl and didn’t flush it? Are you trying to provoke me?”

Lin Yuan found that Zhang Xiaobai was quiet after Xin Ying sent this message. He brainstormed and thought that Zhang Xiaobai should be suffering Xin Ying’s iron fist of justice right now.

He exhaled gently. It seemed that he had won the ‘battle’. He returned to his bedroom and went onto Star Web, which he had not done in a long time.

It had to be said that he had not been on Star Web much. During these four months, Lin Yuan had been busy with improving his strength. He had even just shipped four months’ worth of goods to Zhou Jiaxin in one go.

When he went on Star Web again, Lin Yuan realized there were tens of thousands of unread messages in his Star Web store. Among them, nearly 1,000 of them were from merchants who wanted to buy a lot of feys from his store, as the feys he sold were in high demand and short supply in the market.

Every time Lin Yuan put these feys for sale, those people waiting would sweep them away within a few minutes. If they did not manage to do so when Lin Yuan put the feys on sale, then they could dream about buying other feys from his store.

Lin Yuan ignored these purchasing requests. Since the feys sold in his store were in short supply and they would be sold out right away every time he put them on sale, he would not just sell them to anyone. This would not help his store’s fame.

These thousands of messages came from some customers seeking to buy his feys. For the remaining tens of thousands of messages, he realized they came from a group under his store.

Lin Yuan was puzzled, as he did not remember joining any groups. Why did he have so many messages?

He clicked on it and understood why.
