Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 148: He Had Always Been Unfettered

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan had always been frustrated about upgrading Red Thorn’s quality, but he did not expect this insect tide to solve his problem.

Now that Red Thorn had reached Epic, it could only devour dimensional lifeforms’ flesh and work hard to accumulate if it were to reach Legend.

Although time passed without a trace, time could solve many problems.

Xin Ying suddenly said to Lin Yuan softly, “The Ascending Dragon City’s Ascending Dragon Guards have taken charge of the situation and will be responsible for the Millstone Town people. Let’s leave now. Otherwise, when Ascending Dragon City’s reporters arrive here and find us for an interview, we won’t be able to leave within a day or two.” She suddenly paused and did not continue, as she knew that it was a slip of her tongue.

If a person who had resisted against the pinnacle Class 1 insect tide alone and protected a small town were to accept the Star Web’s interview, they would undoubtedly become famous and gain widespread attention.

Xin Ying never cared about this because in such a situation, even though guarding Millstone Town was an unwise choice—it was a splendid choice.

In her opinion, if one wanted to be famous, they had to improve their strength and fight it out in the S Tournament.

Even though Xin Ying, who knew the world’s ways, had long recognized Lin Yuan as her friend, she felt awkward because she had unintentionally helped Lin Yuan grab the attention.

Zhang Xiaobai did not think like this. He put his arms around Lin Yuan’s shoulders and said, “Hahaha! We should just go quickly! Otherwise, we won’t be able to leave a while later!”

Xin Ying wanted to pull Zhang Xiaobai, but Lin Yuan said softly, “The Endless Forest is up ahead. Let’s hit the road! Wasn’t our original plan to set out early in the morning to collect the Jade Unicorn Ice Snake venom?”

Lin Yuan’s words were faint yet contained an indescribable refreshment and straightforwardness. He had never been a person who cared about fame and fortune.

On the contrary, after living two lives, Lin Yuan looked at everything dialectically and focused on things he truly cared about.

In a world where strength was highly respected—although fame and fortune could not be equated with strength—having strength was akin to having fame and fortune.

If strength were to be compared to flowers, while fame and fortune as butterflies, then the butterflies would naturally come when the flowers bloomed.

The Radiance Hundred Sequence was Lin Yuan’s next best choice. A real man’s choice was to speak with strength.

Lin Yuan looked at the blazing sun that arrived with the dawn. The warm light emanating from the blazing sun seemed to be more conspicuous than it had been at noon.

At that moment, there was a subtle spiritual fluctuation on Lin Yuan’s body that not even Zhang Xiaobai, who had his hands on Lin Yuan’s shoulder, felt.

The Mother of Bloodbath lying in the leaf-shaped fey storage box moved gently and felt even more jealous. “This kid is really uber lucky. He has comprehended a Willpower Rune after sensing my Law Rune!”

However, the Mother of Bloodbath thought about it and felt that since Lin Yuan already had a Fantasy Breed Jasmine Lily, this Willpower Rune should be his second one.

The Mother of Bloodbath believed that Lin Yuan had comprehended this Willpower Rune because when it became his Path Protector, it had allowed him to sense the energy in the Law Rune.

Naturally, it had something to do with him sensing the Mother of Bloodbath’s Law Rune back then, but if it knew that Lin Yuan had comprehended the fourth Willpower Rune, it would have been so jealous that its name would become the Mother of Jealousy.

The clearest light of the morning sun seemed to have risen in Lin Yuan’s eyes, and a twilight-like Willpower Rune appeared in his spiritual world.

When Lin Yuan comprehended this rune, he thought that it was perfect for Chimey.

Lin Yuan looked at the gradually rising morning sun, and his face behind the mask suddenly revealed a smile that no one saw but was enough to overshadow the blazing sun.

He was a youth that had always been taking fragmented footsteps with sooty air while in a weak state—stumbling, standing, and running.

Whether it was seeking survival at his lowest point in life or being calm at his highest point, he had never forgotten the epiphany in his heart.

The warm light had dispersed the last bit of sooty air in his fragmented footsteps.

And he, as someone who had lived two lives, had always been unfettered.

When Xin Ying, Zhang Xiaobai, Lu Pinru, and Tan Ran heard Lin Yuan’s refreshing and straightforward words, they could not help but wear a smile on their faces.

Those with favorable impressions of each other would become friends after interactions. After experiencing life and death together, they were comrades. Since their interests were completely similar in such a situation, they were bosom friends.

Zhang Xiaobai gave Lin Yuan a thumbs-up and said, “Lin Yuan, you were so cool when you said that.”

Lin Yuan could not help but laugh upon seeing Zhang Xiaobai’s actions and strange expressions.

Was it cool? Maybe!

Actually, those who were themselves were the coolest at any moment!

Lu Pinru rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiaobai. “Can you stop showing the results of you learning weird facial expressions in cram school!” Xin Ying felt helpless as she looked at Zhang Xiaobai.

After last year’s S Tournament, they had a month of vacation, and she had wanted to go on a vacation together as a team. However, Zhang Xiaobai had gone to enroll in classes teaching weird facial expressions, wanting to learn a specialty.

Zhang Xiaobai felt grieved and pursed his lips before saying, “Is it wrong to learn a specialty?”

Lin Yuan could not help but ask, “Is there such a thing as learning weird facial expressions as a specialty?”

Zhang Xiaobai felt even more grieved and blinked his eyes. “I’ve got a certificate in that!”

Lin Yuan and the Extreme Guild Club’s quartet quietly left Millstone Town and headed to the Endless Forest, where the morning rays were shining at.

Actually, they did not know that the people present had taken their departure seriously.

One of them had guarded Millstone Town under the pinnacle Class 1 insect tide and healed everyone during the most critical moment.

In the eyes of everyone, Lin Yuan’s grace of saving them had made it difficult for the people outside Millstone Town, who had experienced the killings, to take their eyes off Lin Yuan.

When Lin Yuan and the quartet left, the Ascending Dragon Guards’ leader, the Millstone Town’s Guild Alliance branch president, and everyone in Millstone Town stood there quietly, gazing sincerely as they watched their heroes leave.

This was the heroes’ choice. Heroes would always help those in need but leave so easily, unwilling to leave their names behind.

The Millstone Town’s Guild Alliance branch president felt that the morning sun was particularly bright during dawn. For some reason, be it the bright sun shining on his eyes or his aroused feelings, tears streamed down his face as he softly spat out the words—”Outstanding youths.”

Upon hearing that, the bald man leading the Ascending Dragon Guards looked in the direction where Lin Yuan and the others had left with a solemn expression and said while bowing, “They’re more than outstanding youths. This is the spirit and backbone of radiance.”
