1874 Cheers to Two Years Later!
Since their previous encounter had also been their first encounter, they had only chatted briefly in the Radiance Sacred Hall.
Once Xia Qing returned home, her grandfather had asked her if she was interested in Lin Yuan.
She had admitted that his appearance, power, and character, which she was just starting to understand, were fatal attacks on any young girl’s heart.
However, she had no place for romance in her life.
Xia Qing’s dream was to use her body to protect the Radiance Federation, just like her parents had done.
As such, many people, including her grandfather, had misunderstood the reason for the attitude toward Lin Yuan.
However, Xia Qing did not bother to explain herself.
There were many types of emotions in the world.
Xia Qing preferred reliable comrades over romantic partners.
At first, Xia Qing had felt lonely. But once Lin Yuan and Liu Jie appeared, Xia Qing realized that she had never been fighting on her own.
Xia Qing looked at Lin Yuan and smiled gently, revealing two dimples at the corners of her mouth.
“It’s true that I don’t need so many of the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus’ flowers. Why not we go with 30 of the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus’ flowers and 20 of the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly’s pupas.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXia Qing remembered that her grandfather’s feys needed pure wood-type energy. As such, it would be better for her to obtain the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly’s pupas from Lin Yuan and give them to her grandfather.
The Moon Empress had been in seclusion for a long time. Now that she had come out of seclusion and had become a Class 6 Creation Master, she needed to stabilize her abilities and purify the Eternal Heart.
As such, it was unlikely that she had time to use pure spirit qi to nurture the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly and enable it to turn into a pupa.
Lin Yuan was silent for a moment before he said, “I’ll deliver them to you tomorrow morning.”
Xia Qing did not expect Lin Yuan to set the trade timing to be so soon.
“You don’t need to deliver them to me. I will be visiting the Creation Master Association tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. You can hand the items to me then. You can take the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon’s dragon pearl. I trust you.”
Xia Qing stuffed the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon’s dragon pearl into Lin Yuan’s hand.
Lin Yuan could sense Xia Qing’s kind gesture.
Although Lin Yuan and Xia Qing had just become acquainted, it was all but certain that she would become a Radiance Envoy.
Two years later, both he and Xia Qing would be attending the Major Federation Meeting as substitutes.
As such, she was a comrade with whom he would be fighting alongside in the future.
Wen Yu had been observing Lin Yuan and Xia Qing’s expressions. She could not read Xia Qing, but given her understanding of Lin Yuan, she knew that he did not have any inappropriate thoughts about Xia Qing.
It was not an exaggeration to call him a clueless man.
About half an hour later, Zong Ze and Liu Jie carried out trays filled with dishes.
When Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, Gao Feng, and the rest saw that Liu Jie and Zong Ze were done cooking, they automatically headed to the kitchen to help to bring the food out. They were all so close now that there was no need for formalities.
All of them enjoyed the meal tremendously. This meal was like a swan song for them. For the next two years, they would all be going off to train on their own.
This meal was also to celebrate their victory against the Freedom Federation envoy group and their feat of protecting the Radiance Federation’s honor.
Zong Ze went to Kitchen Fragrance Palace and, much to Chef Supreme’s chagrin, took out five bottles of the Hundred Flavor Wine that had been fermenting for 70 years.
Chef Supreme was truly suspecting whether his third disciple was actually his reincarnated enemy from a past life.
His first disciple had almost caused the Spirit Savory Pig to go extinct, while his second disciple had used his reputation to open the Spirit Food Pavilion. He was using the 300 dishes that Chef Supreme had crafted to serve customers.
The only thing that Kitchen Fragrance Palace had left was the Hundred Flavor Wine. Yet, his third disciple had taken five bottles of it.
Normally, they did not pair alcohol with their meals. But this time, all of them partook in drinking.
However, all of them were B-rank spirit qi professionals, and their feys had reached Diamond X/Fantasy V. These feys enabled them to have high resistance. As such, none of them were drunk even after the five bottles of the Hundred Flavor Wine were emptied.
But all of them did visit the bathroom several times.
They poured out the last of the wine and clinked their glasses together.
“Let’s all try to become A-rank spirit qi professionals in the next two years!”
“Nonsense! If I don’t become an A-rank spirit qi professional, I’ll fall behind all of you!”
“Let’s agree to gather back here for another feast two years later!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“An He, stop eating! Your sacred source lifeform is special, but that doesn’t mean you can be lazy for the next two years!”
“No! When I think about how I won’t be able to see all of you for the next two years, my heart aches! I don’t even have the mood to contract a fey with the Barren bloodline tomorrow!”
“Gao Feng, stop with your nonsense! You’ve mentioned contracting a fey with the Barren bloodline countless times during the meal!”
Xia Qing had never attended such an event before. She sat next to Wen Yu, and both of them naturally ended up chatting.
Xia Qing asked Wen Yu, “Does Lin Yuan normally drink?”
Wen Yu replied honestly, “This is the second time I’ve seen him drink.”
The last time Lin Yuan had drunk was with Wen Yu and Liu Jie on the grass of the Return from Faraway Mansion when Sky City had just been established.
Although only a few months had passed and Lin Yuan had been extremely green then, he had grown significantly since then.
While Lin Yuan was in completely different stages of growth during both drinking sessions, Wen Yu was still the same.
She felt that all she needed to do in this life was to follow this dashing young man in front of her. She would accompany him into adulthood and then into old age to help him take good care of Sky City.
Once the last cups were gulped down, Lin Yuan did not help Zong Ze, Gu Lang, An He, and the rest to evolve their feys.
It was not that Lin Yuan could not bear to part with the resources as he had already set aside resources for these friends of his.
However, all of them had their own roads to go down for the next two years. They would also be given different opportunities.
He could wait until they gathered together again two years later to use pure spirit qi to evolve their feys.
...
Two years later, when he helped them evolve their feys’ bloodlines, it would be on the cusp of the Major Federation Meeting when they had to put their lives on the line for the Radiance Federation’s glory.
When Lin Yuan left Zong Ze’s residence, he did not return to the Return from Faraway Mansion with Liu Jie and Wen Yu.
Although he had already obtained his first precious weapon, he clearly still looked forward to the precious instrument that the Moon Empress had made for him using the body of the Diving Songstress.
