Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 169: And Faith!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment Lin Yuan took the Insect Queen out of his Spirit Lock spatial zone, Liu Jie immediately sensed it. When he saw the Insect Queen, which he had not seen in a long time, he instinctively felt its attachment to him, as well as its yearning and joy.

Without the trials and tribulations over the past two years—which had made Liu Jie fall hard from the peak to the bottom and become an ordinary person—he would not have comprehended that sometimes, not forgetting one’s own original intentions was the only answer.

If Liu Jie could shine in glory, he could also be in dire straits. Thus, his mind had become stronger.

If he did not have a mind as strong as iron, when he sensed the Insect Queen’s intimate spiritual fluctuation, tears would have streamed down his face instantly.

Liu Jie could not forget how he had felt its constantly worsening injuries and deteriorating spiritual energy until it reached the brink of death in the past two years.

Although Liu Jie knew that Lin Yuan had healed his Insect Queen when they shook hands, when he saw it fully healed and able to communicate with him through his mind, he could not help but feel all sorts of feelings well up in his heart.

However, before he had the time to relish the joy of this meeting, he realized that his Insect Queen had evolved from Epic to Legend. He started to tremble with excitement and looked at Liu Yuan, wanting to say something, but he could not utter a word.

Nobody would know better than him, its contractor, how hard it was to evolve the source-type Insect Queen. It needed extremely pure spirit qi to evolve, much purer than what was required to heal its damaged roots.

Not even the Class 5 Creation Master, Bamboo Monarch, could restore its damaged roots with such pure spirit qi. Lin Yuan was probably the only one who could do so and also raise it from Epic to Legend.

When Lin Yuan noticed that Liu Jie could say nothing due to his excitement, he could not help but smile brightly. He reached out to pat Liu Jie’s shoulder and said, “After this, it’s time for you to be reborn in nirvana along with your Insect Queen. The Radiance Federation people have always been looking forward to the return of Sequence #39, Heart of Insect Swarm.”

What Lin Yuan mentioned was a sore spot that Liu Jie had never dared to touch before. It was because he always saw how the Radiance Federation folks regarded the Heart of Insect Swarm as a hero on Star Web and how they looked forward to his return.

This degree of passionate concern and expectations made Liu Jie, whose hopes had been squashed at that time, feel nothing but helplessness and pain.

Liu Jie had wanted to return to his former days and dominate the competition with his insect swarm, but all his yearning was just like the shattered yet dappled light in a dream.

Liu Jie had never regretted resisting the dimensional lifeforms’ invasion outside Cold Frost City. While he had been commanding the Insect Queen to fight against them, he had sensed the insect swarm’s frenzy and comprehended a Willpower Rune.

But after that, the Insect Queen’s roots had been damaged, and it had been on the brink of death. Liu Jie felt it was ironic he had comprehended this Willpower Rune.

At present, everything seemed to be the best choice that could have been made so far, as he knew that as long as he fused the Willpower Rune with the Insect Queen, it would become a Fantasy Breed. He would also be truly reborn in nirvana and proclaim to the world, “I! Liu Jie! Heart of Insect Swarm, Sequence #39 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence! Am back!”

He was well aware that everything and all future glory would be all thanks to this young man before his eyes. This young man had ignited the light of hope and changed it into a warm sun that caused a layer of gold color to emerge in his gloomy heart.

At that moment, Liu Jie was so excited that he could not say a word. He just looked at Lin Yuan firmly and gave a deep bow. This salute was much lower than the one a retainer knight would give to a Creation Master.

It was not only Liu Jie’s thanks but also faith.

Lin Yuan knew that Liu Jie must be feeling a lot at that moment, so he patted his shoulders and said, “When I came into the Royal Capital’s Creation Master Association, I booked a breeding room for you. Go evolve your Insect Queen into a Fantasy Breed first.”

Lin Yuan was really happy on Liu Jie’s behalf. Although he had wasted two years, now that the Insect Queen was a Fantasy Breed, Liu Jie would not just be Sequence #39 this year.

Liu Jie nodded vigorously. Despite being a man like steel, his nose tingled because of Lin Yuan’s words that seemed like the warm sun in midwinter.

After a long time, Liu Jie only said in a hoarse voice, “Young Master Lin Yuan, I—”

Lin Yuan interrupted Liu Jie. “You swore by your Willpower Rune and became my retainer knight. Nevertheless, you’re also my friend,” he said seriously.

He had risen from humble origins and did not treat others easily as subordinates. Regardless of whether it was Liu Jie or Wen Yu, since he had lived two lives, Lin Yuan understood that human interactions would all boil down to one thing—putting himself in other people’s shoes.

Liu Jie was stunned, looking at Lin Yuan before he nodded as an indescribable sense of warmth emerged in his heart.

Friends?

Liu Jie thought about it, and an ultimate glimmer of radiance appeared in his eyes.

At this moment! To Lin Yuan—

I’m a friend!

A retainer!

And faith!

Fighting alone in Cold Frost City, where the insect swarm was as vast as the city...

Fighting against the surge outside the city, where an epiphany of willpower leads to success and failure...

Everything has turned into perfection today!

After sending Liu Jie away, Lin Yuan started to think about what he needed to do during his seclusion in the breeding room. He realized that he would have to enter seclusion for nearly two months. But after this seclusion session, he could likely have the capabilities to compete with the Radiance Hundred Sequence members.

Lin Yuan raised his hand, summoned Red Thorn, and looked at its true data. He could not help but have high hopes of it.

[Fey Name]: Red Thorn (Predator Plant)

[Fey Species]: Rafflesia genus/Vine subspecies

[Fey Grade]: Bronze (3/10)

[Fey Type]: Source/Wood

[Fey Quality]: Epic

Abilities:

[Mouth of Relinquish]: Secretes vigorous digestive fluids with powerful corrosive properties, allowing a faster speed to absorb the energy in the food.

[Armor-Piercing Vines]: Vines that wrap quickly tremble rapidly and strengthen the effect of the vines’ sharp thorns piercing through the armor.

Exclusive Skill:

[Spore Growth]: Spits a huge amount of spores, which can absorb the energy or flesh energy supplied by Red Thorn, out of its spore cavity to quickly grow ramets and child ramets that are controlled by the ortet.

Red Thorn’s real rise was when it reached Bronze and obtained its exclusive skill, Spore Growth, as it changed Red Thorn’s combat style.

If Red Thorn was a lone warrior previously, it was a commander that commanded the child ramets and ramets to fight now. However, Lin Yuan believed it would undergo its real metamorphosis when it reached Legend and became a Fantasy Breed.

At that moment, he took the source-type Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s egg out of the leaf-shaped Diamond fey storage box.
