Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 2770 Arrival of the Visitors From the Sky Beyond the Clouds

"Lordess Kong Huan, I will go and contact the Elders now and hold a meeting. I will also liaise with the Snow-Covered Fox envoy! I was present when we greeted him, so I am somewhat acquainted with him."

When Kong Mu saw the expression on Kong Huan's face, she knew that Kong Huan had made her decision.

Hence, Kong Mu was now doing her best to claim resources for herself.

If she represented the Alluring Foxes and liaised with the Snow-Covered Fox envoy, she would be able to stand out.

Even if she did not manage to seduce the envoy, she would be able to leave a deep impression on him. This would allow her to tap into this connection once she went to the North Universe.

The envoy's journey to another universe highlighted his significant status among the Snow-Covered Foxes.

Kong Huan cast a glance at Kong Mu, fully aware of the plan unfolding in her mind.

Each Alluring Fox could be characterized as egotistic.

Kong Mu aspired to represent the Alluring Foxes in engaging with the envoy, hoping to establish a meaningful connection.

However, her status fell short, not reaching the level that would qualify her to interact with the envoy directly.

Typically, only a direct descendant of the Alluring Foxes could liaise with the Snow-Covered Fox envoy.

Surprisingly, Kong Huan not only didn't oppose Kong Mu's proposal but also intended to endorse her.

Kong Mu, a closely nurtured subordinate, belonged to Kong Huan's circle of profits within the Alluring Foxes.

Discontent among many Alluring Foxes toward Kong Huan had risen in recent years. Her membership in the Honor Absent Parliament hadn't brought substantial profits to the Alluring Foxes.

Kong Huan was aware of that.

This was not because she did not want to contribute to the Alluring Foxes but because Honor Absent Palace had been extremely messy in recent years. There were always bigshots fighting with each other. Kong Huan was afraid that trying to obtain profits for the Alluring Foxes would result in her becoming embroiled in the conflict.

Stability was key to survival in such a complex environment.

This was in spite of there constantly being members of the Alluring Foxes who used this as an excuse to attack her.

Previously, Kong Huan did not agree to migrate to the North Universe because she was worried that doing so would destabilize her position.

In the East Universe, she was a member of the Honor Absent Parliament. But when they went to the North Universe, there was a high likelihood that another Alluring Fox would become a member of the Glow Evoking Parliament.

Kong Huan did not plan on using Kong Mu to get closer to the Snow-Covered Fox envoy. After all, he was not one of the true decision-makers.

In order to secure her position in the North Universe, she would have to form close ties with the Snow-Covered Foxes' main members.

Aside from making use of the Alluring Foxes' current resources, Kong Huan also intended to leverage the resources she collected from the Class 2 world.

Kong Huan's divine kingdom ability allowed her to hide from the detection of world wills and escape their restraints.

She could use her power freely when she arrived at the Class 2 world.

Someone from the Sky Beyond the Clouds searching a Class 2 world was against regulations.

If they employed too much power and caused the world to collapse, Honor Absent Palace would be targeted by the factions from the other three universes. The bigshots from Honor Absent Palace would never permit something like this to happen.

The last time something like this happened, five members of Honor Absent Parliament were kicked out.

This time, even if Feng Qing sought help from the Bloodians, the latter would not provide help that was beyond World Emperor/Divine Kingdom.

In Kong Huan's eyes, such power was not worth mentioning.

In order to cover her tracks, Kong Huan decided to kill all the people who were going to the Sky Beyond the Clouds. This would include Fan Lou, who had betrayed her.

Kong Huan wanted to crush all of Fan Lou's bones and scatter them in one of the Class 2 world's volcanoes. This was the only way to quench the hatred in her heart!

Kong Huan took out a ring with an outdated design and a pink and purple stone embedded in it.

When she held the ring with both hands, Kong Huan's body disappeared instantly, and the ring clattered onto the table's surface.

The ring shook lightly a moment later, and Kong Huan's body reappeared.

Kong Huan placed the ring on her finger with satisfaction.

This ring made from World Wall Crimson Gold and Mirage Stone was truly perplexing. The World Wall Crimson Gold would create a stable space that teleportation could not destabilize. Mirage Stone was a gem that the Alluring Foxes in the Sky Beyond the Clouds often used as an accessory. The female Alluring Foxes used them as accessories or wore them in their hair.

If the warrior she dispatched was wearing a ring with a Mirage Stone, no one would bat an eyelid.

Kong Huan could hide in the ring and follow the warrior to the Class 2 world.

Once she fully investigated the Class 2 world, Kong Huan would swoop in to attain victory and obtain all the resources in that Class 2 world!

Collecting all the resources from a Class 2 world was difficult. It would take a long time for Kong Huan to do it all on her own.

In her eyes, every person on the team was labor that she could use. Regardless of whether these people had hidden resources away, the resources would all end up being owned by her once she eliminated them!

…

Kong Huan returned to the Alluring Foxes' base and participated in a meeting of the inner circle.

Kong Mu had been interacting with the Snow-Covered Fox envoy. She was ready at any moment to receive an order from Kong Huan and seal a partnership with the Snow-Covered Foxes.

Almost 200 years had passed since Han Rong left the North Universe and came to the East Universe.

Envoys like him had to return to give a report every 300 years.

At first, Han Rong assumed that nothing would come out from this trip to the East Universe. Yet, right as he was due to return, he received such a piece of good news.

There were not many members of the Snow-Covered Foxes. They were able to achieve a high ranking on the Species Ranking because all their adult members possessed exceptional power.

Powerful species like them that also had a small population liked to take in dependent species and use them to increase their power.

The more dependent species an envoy roped in for the Snow-Covered Foxes, the higher their status would be.

Han Rong had his eye on four fox-species in the East Universe. Three of them had turned him down. The Alluring Foxes were the only ones who had yet to firmly express their rejection.

Han Rong could sense that the Alluring Foxes were leading him on.

Under normal circumstances, Han Rong would typically venture farther to explore additional fox-species instead of lingering around the Alluring Foxes. Exploring distant regions might lead him to the discovery of even more fox-species.

Yet, Han Rong held great expectations for the Alluring Foxes. They possessed all the captivating qualities of a fox, and other foxes were naturally drawn to them. This allure targeted the senses rather than the intellect.

If he managed to bring the Alluring Foxes to the North Universe, they would undoubtedly stand out amidst the myriad dependent species of the Snow-Covered Foxes. There was even a possibility that a prominent Snow-Covered Fox elite might consider taking one of the Alluring Foxes as a mate to continue their bloodline. To the Snow-Covered Foxes, a potent dependent species held the same value as another elite member of their own kind.

Regardless of how strong the dependent species were, they would receive protection from the Snow-Covered Foxes.

The special fox-species were the ones that truly attracted the attention of the Snow-Covered Foxes.

The Alluring Foxes could be considered one such special fox-species.

Since the Alluring Foxes were initiating contact with him, it meant that they were open to the idea of moving to the North Universe.

Han Rong had already been waiting for almost 200 years. He could handle waiting for a little while more. This was so long as the Alluring Foxes gave him an answer before he returned home.

Han Rong could tell that the Alluring Foxes wanted to negotiate with him. However, he would not make it easy for them because the Snow-Covered Foxes did not give much authority to their envoys.

Han Rong could not promise much.

If he was unable to fulfill his promises, the Alluring Foxes would riot once they migrated to the North Universe. This would affect his reputation among the Snow-Covered Foxes.

There were a few envoys who had given false promises and had been hounded by the dependent species who wanted to collect on the promises made.

Han Rong was relatively friendly to Kong Mu after finding out she was only Kong Huan's aide.

However, Han Rong did not host her personally.

Powerful species prioritized status.

Han Rong felt that Kong Mu did not deserve to liaise with him.

Han Rong would not use force on the Alluring Foxes before they migrated to the North Universe. But once they went there, not only would the Alluring Foxes have to keep their heads down, but their backs had to be bent too!

If the Alluring Foxes were obedient and had a few exceptional individuals, they could receive the favor of the Snow-Covered Foxes' top level. This would also inflate the Alluring Foxes' status.

It was possible that even he would have to end up trying to curry favor with them!

…

When Kong Huan left the Alluring Foxes' base and headed to Honor Absent Palace she took two warriors with her.

Kong Huan's expression was extremely sour.

Although she had facilitated the decision to move the Alluring Foxes from the East Universe to the North Universe, she realized that her status was a shadow of what it used to be.

The other branches of the Alluring Foxes were becoming increasingly brazen.

If they were fighting back against her for no reason, she could suppress them without holding back.

However, they had found a legitimate reason. The other branches had members whose bloodlines had reached the Alluring Bone grade.

The Alluring Bone bloodline would extend the Alluring Fox's charms past the superficial appearance.

It was said that beauty was in the bones and not the skin.

Once they reached the Alluring Bones grade, the Alluring Fox's aura would be renewed.

Kong Huan's bloodline was pinnacle Alluring Bones.

Kong Huan was unable to find a reason to suppress the branch bloodlines because they had gained confidence and power from their improved bloodlines. If she tried to suppress them, it would seem as though Kong Huan's branch was petty. This was unbecoming behavior for a superior!

Kong Huan pondered over how she would manage the Alluring Foxes in the future.

She needed to have perfect control over the Alluring Foxes before they went to the North Universe. This way, the Alluring Foxes would be united when they arrived at the North Universe.

…

In the Radiance Federation, the sky was clear, and the weather was perfect. Wisps of clouds flowed through the sky, occasionally clustering into clumps before quickly evaporating by the sun's rays.

It was difficult to maintain self-discipline when the weather was this hot and the Radiance citizens were all on summer vacation.

The Radiance Federation's sea trade had been fully established. Hence, the Radiance citizens who had recovered from the trauma of the dead spirits crisis were now riding boats to travel and visit the other cities.

In the past, only spirit qi professionals were capable of crossing cities. The regular people rarely had the opportunity to leave the city where they lived.

But now that the boats had replaced the Island Whales and the seas were safe, travel became a pastime that regular people could enjoy.

The economic growth of the Radiance Federation's cities was propelled by travel. Cities boasting unique environments, where the production of feys and spiritual ingredients was relatively low, emerged as popular tourism hotspots.

Lin Yuan felt a sense of accomplishment as he listened to Wen Yu describe this occurrence.

He held the belief that within the next three to five years, or at most a decade, tourism would extend beyond a handful of cities in one federation and span across various federations.

Aside from tasting good food and enjoying beautiful scenery, experiencing culture was also an important part of tourism. Scholars valued culture far more than food and scenery.

…

After the white-clothed followers took over the harbor in the Startling Lines Continent, the harbor's management became organized.

The people from other federations also realized that the Great Lush Federation did not have any authority to manage the harbor. As a result, they stopped trying to curry favor with Jin Qianxun.

Jin Qianxun was slightly disappointed by this, but he was also glad. He was glad that Luo Lan's warning had allowed him to save his own life.

In order to express his gratitude to Luo Lan, Jin Qianxun promised her substantial private benefits. However, she did not accept them.

She resisted not because she lacked interest in his offer but because she understood Lin Yuan's desire for a balanced distribution of power among the Divine Wood, Great Lush, and Iron Hammer Federations. Lin Yuan aimed to prevent scenarios where the Great Lush Federation could form exclusive alliances with the Iron Hammer Federation. Knowing his intentions, she saw no reason for actions that might upset him.

…

When Spring and Summer first started following Lin Yuan around, they did not think much of life in the main world. They did not think that a Class 2 world's culture could be overly impressive.

But after tasting Liu Jie's delicacies, Spring and Summer became slaves to gourmet food.

Slowly, they assimilated to life in the Radiance Federation.

There were many things that might seem unacceptable at first that could be slowly accepted after giving them a shot.

After learning that Sky City was a faction that Lin Yuan had built personally, the two of them even donned Sky City's uniform.

…

After promoting Wen Yu to an S-rank spirit qi professional, Lin Yuan did the same with Liu Jie.

From now on, Liu Jie could continuously evolve Elegance's grade and quality and strengthen his insect-species carcinoma feys!

As Lin Yuan contemplated visiting the Moon Empress to potentially elevate her spirit qi professional rank, he discerned a sudden shift in the auras of Spring and Summer.

Their attention was fixed on the domed roof above them!
