Fey Evolution Merchant-Chapter 2984 - : Prey and Hunter!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Over the past thousand years, Yi He had become increasingly low-profile because of his lifespan. Many of the matters that used to concern him were no longer of interest to him now.

Yi He’s transformation was like a signal to others that his days were numbered.

As his lifespan neared its end, the relationship between the members of the Creator Alliance had become delicate. Yi He was aware of all of this, and now he wanted to change this situation.

Now that his lifespan had recovered, his inner arrogance and audacity had returned in full force. While Yi He maintained a calm demeanor, it was only a mask on the surface. Having seen through life and death, he had become indifferent to everything else. Now, he only cared about Lin Yuan’s opinion.

Ling Muzhuo originally wanted Yi He to stay in Fortune Treasure Palace for a few more days, but after seeing that he had no intention of staying, Ling Muzhuo didn’t force him.

Before Yi He left, he waved at him. This action showed that Yi He remembered his favor.

“Brother Lin, the spiritual ingredient in your possession capable of restoring lifespan is truly remarkable. It even restored Lord Yi He’s lifespan.”

Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan smiled. He knew that Ling Muzhuo had mentioned the spiritual ingredient in his possession again because he had the intention to trade with Lin Yuan. Trading the Lifespan Mouse with Ling Muzhuo was out of the question for Lin Yuan. As for other spiritual ingredients capable of restoring lifespan, Lin Yuan did not possess any.

“Brother Ling, the spiritual ingredients in my possession that can restore my lifespan are indeed rare. That’s why I require those Creators to offer me their promise before I engage in any trade with them. Be it the two Grade 4 Creators, Xi Mei and Cen Ruyi, or the Grade 5 Creator, Master Yi He, they all promised me.

“I will definitely make the most of such resources, and only trade with Creators. If one day your lifespan is nearing its end, I can use it to help you restore it. As for others, let’s forget about it.”

Ling Muzhuo indeed wanted to trade for this spiritual ingredient from Lin Yuan.

Upon hearing that, Ling Muzhuo did not insist on continuing the trade. If he were to bring it up again and face rejection from Lin Yuan, not only would Ling Muzhuo’s goal fail, but it could also strain their relationship. Ling Muzhuo was very clear about this.

“Brother Lin, do you have any plans to stay here for a few more days?!”

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head. “Brother Ling, I’m currently gathering resources everywhere. Don’t you know how busy I am? I don’t have much time for vacation and rest. When I’m free in the future, I’ll visit you. I’m preparing to leave tomorrow. Besides, you have my contact information. We can communicate anytime!”

Lin Yuan had already received a message from Fu Mi while conversing with Yi

He. Fu Mi had assisted Lin Yuan in gathering several star pirates near Treasure City, and they had already taken their positions. Fu Mi wanted to ask Lin Yuan when he would finish off these star pirates.

Fu Mi had gathered the star pirates but did not have a specific reason for looking for them. Hence. Fu Mi had only mentioned that there was a big deal.

Now, the star pirates had already begun to inquire Fu Mi about the details of the big deal. She could not delay for too long anymore.

Lin Yuan was prepared to meet with Fu Mi tomorrow to get rid of these star pirates. He hoped that the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen could choose a suitable candidate from these star pirates to be a holy maid.

“Brother Lin, since you’re leaving tomorrow, you have to give me a chance to show off today! ”

After saying that, Ling Muzhuo began to make preparations. Not only did he invite Lin Yuan, but he also invited Xi Mei and Cen Ruyi.

Lin Yuan had just helped Xi Mei and Cen Ruyi. Now, using the pretext of hosting Lin Yuan, he invited Ximei and Cen Ruyi. They would definitely not reject his invitation. Ling Muzhuo intended to use this banquet to deepen his relationship with them.

Xi Mei and Cen Ruyi were indeed giving Ling Muzhuo face. However, Ling Muzhuo’s plan to trade Creator resources with Xi Mei and Cen Ruyi would ultimately fail as they would only contribute resources to the Sky City and wouldn’t leak resources outside.

Ling Muzhuo’s banquet was very detailed, allowing Lin Yuan to experience the luxury of the Sky Beyond the Clouds experts’ lives.

Lin Yuan was not interested in these lavish social interactions. However, Ling Muzhuo’s chef was skilled and knew how to cook many delicacies Lin Yuan had never tried.

In terms of taste, though, Liu Jie and Zong Ze’s dishes were not inferior to the ones that Ling Muzhuo had treated him to. The environment provided by Ling Muzhuo was also far inferior to the environment in Lin Yuan’s Spirit Lock spatial zone

The banquet lasted until late at night before Lin Yuan returned to the side hall that Ling Muzhuo had arranged for him.

Lin Yuan stayed in the inner hall while Winter guarded the door.

Winter had been by Lin Yuan’s side for years. During this period, Winter witnessed Lin Yuan’s growth step by step, bringing both joy and delight to him. Nonetheless, Winter felt that Lin Yuan was too kind-hearted. When strengthening his sacred source lifeform, he only chose to target star pirates.

In the eyes of most experts in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, there was no concept of good or evil. Those who were overly kind-hearted often progressed much slower in enhancing their strength compared to those who were willing to do whatever it took.

In order to survive, the various species in the Sky Beyond the Clouds fought against each other following the laws of the jungle. The concept of good and evil basically did not exist. For example, the Bloodians seemed to be on the evil side when they attacked the mermaids, but in the end, this operation was just a large-scale hunting operation by the Bloodians.

Although Winter felt that Lin Yuan’s actions were not in line with the Sky Beyond the Clouds’ rules, he did not remind Lin Yuan. As Lin Yuan grew up, he would gradually revise his current viewpoint and would be able to understand this world more clearly. Winter also couldn’t be certain that his understanding would always align with Lin Yuan’s growth.

Lin Yuan sat at the table and took out a completely jade-textured agarwood and an octagonal incense burner with eight auspicious beasts carved on it from his spatial equipment. He placed the jade-textured agarwood into the incense burner and lit it.

White smoke came out of the octagonal incense burner with eight auspicious beasts carved on it. The elegant smell of agarwood filled Lin Yuan’s nose.

Among all the spices, Lin Yuan loved the jade-textured agarwood. Every time he lit the agarwood, he felt a sense of security.

Before coming to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Lin Yuan rarely had the chance to travel around. This period could be considered the time of Lin Yuan’s most rapid growth. His growth was not reflected in his strength but in his wisdom and vision.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes and entered a state of sleep as he sorted out everything that had happened during this period.

At that moment, Fu Mi contacted Lin Yuan through the Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower ramet.

[Fu Mil: Boss, everything is in order on my end. When will you come over? They’ve heard about the big deal and want to come over personally to discuss it with you!

Fu Mi’s message seemed normal, but Lin Yuan frowned.

Firstly, Fu Mi had already confirmed the time for their meeting beforehand. Given that the time had already been set, Fu Mi wouldn’t come to find him again because of this matter. She needed to hide her identity when carrying out such a mission outside. It was not a good thing to contact him too much.

Secondly, Fu Mi usually referred to him as ‘Master’. The sudden change in address meant that something must have happened to her. However, Lin Yuan was not worried because Autumn would follow Fu Mi and secretly protect her. Even if Fu Mi was targeted by those star pirates to send him, it must be to fish for more people.

Lin Yuan received a message from Autumn as soon as Fu Mi sent it.

[Autumn]: Young Master, these star pirates have plans to exploit. They might have intentionally attacked Fu Mi because they heard that there was a Sacred Body Stone in the star pirate group Fu Mi was in. I’m going to lure more star pirates over and capture all of them in one fell swoop. Fu Mil s performance is not bad. This is Fu Mil s main plan.

Autumn’s message confirmed Lin Yuan’s suspicion. Originally, Fu Mi was the hunter, but unexpectedly, the relationship between the hunter and the prey had quietly undergone a change. Unfortunately, these star pirates had miscalculated because the prey they were targeting was not something they could deal with.

[Lin Yuan]: Autumn, I will postpone my meeting with Fu Mi. I hope all the members of these star pirates can gather in three days!

Lin Yuan had planned to meet Fu Mi quickly to settle the matters here. Now, it seemed like he would have to wait a few more days!

Lin Yuan then replied to Fu Mi.

Even though he had postponed meeting Fu Mi, he still left Fortune Treasure Palace the next morning.

Xi Mei and Cen Ruyi did not leave with Lin Yuan. On the second and third day, they left Fortune Treasure Palace and met up with Lin Yuan outside Treasure City.

Huang An had been by Lin Yuan’s side for the past few days. When he saw Cen Ruyi and Xi Mei, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of being more valued by Lin Yuan.

Cen Ruyi and Xi Mei were intermediate Grade 4 Creators and slightly weaker than Huang An in terms of Creator abilities.

Seeing the expression on Huang An’s face, Cen Ruyi looked envious, but she did not dare to offend Huang An. Like Xi Mei, Huang An had recovered his lifespan, yet she had yet to recover her lifespan!

Xi Mei showed a considerable amount of respect toward Huang An, adopting a deferential attitude toward him. However, she did not care about Huang An at all. Huang An’s sense of superiority in front of Lin Yuan could only mean he was not intelligent.

Lin Yuan could even take in a Grade 5 Creator like Yi He, so Huang An was nothing to Lin Yuan. Even if Lin Yuan hadn’t noticed Huang An’s behavior yet, he would see it sooner or later. Such a person was no threat to Xi Mei.

Ever since Xi Mei joined Lin Yuan, she had been contemplating how she could be valued by Lin Yuan.

“Alright, now that we are all together, follow me to deal with a group of star pirates.”

After saying that, Lin Yuan handed the Lifespan Mouse to Cen Ruyi and asked her to contract it.

“I know you have a bad temper and a flawed personality, but I can’t tolerate troublemakers among my subordinates. I hope you can restrain your temper in the future and avoid causing trouble for yourself!”

Cen Ruyi received the Lifespan Mouse from Lin Yuan in surprise and hurriedly promised him, “Lord, the negative impression I left on you before was mainly due to some conflicts between Xi Mei and me. In truth, my temper isn’t as bad as it may seem. Don’t worry, I’ll restrain myself in the future!”

Cen Ruyi thought Xi Mei had most likely contracted this special rat-species fey and obtained an endless lifespan. As soon as Cen Ruyi contracted the Lifespan Mouse, Lin Yuan took it away.

At present, Cen Ruyi’s lifespan and holy spirit were already under Lin Yuan’s control. Thinking of the lesson Winter had taught her, Cen Ruyi felt a sense of fear toward Lin Yuan. The moment this fear appeared, she began to regard Xi Mei more favorably.

At that moment, Fu Mi was facing six higher-ups of the star pirate group. To outsiders, Fu Mi’s face was ashen and revealed a hint of fear.

As a lifeform with the devil bloodline, Fu Mi’s acting skills could fool most lifeforms. Perhaps only pure-blooded devils could tell something from Fu Mi’s expression.

A black-faced man in a purple robe said in a mocking tone, “Don’t you specialize in targeting those elite factions and experts and look down on our plundering business? Why are you asking us for help now?

“Your star pirate group only has a few dozen people in total, and over the years, there haven’t been any new recruits to replenish the losses. Could it be that old Pang guy has deceived you all?”

Many of the star pirates present were old acquaintances of Fu Mil s star pirate group. They had interacted with each other before.

Ever since Pang Li’s strength broke through more than 600 years ago, he had tightened his control over the star pirate groups. Basically, all the resources produced by the star pirate groups were kept in his pocket.

At present, Fu Mi looked a little stupid for working so hard for Pang Li.

This wasn’t the first instance of Fu Mi enduring such ridicule. She was well aware of the nature of the star pirates and Pang Li’s cunning ways. Unfortunately, Pang Li’s power had far exceeded Fu Mil s, leaving her with no means to resist him.

Many members of the star pirate group were oblivious to the reality of their situation.

Lacking confidence in her ability to incite rebellion among the majority of the star pirate group’s members, Fu Mi had had no choice but to endure in silence.

In a way, Lin Yuan had rescued Fu Mi, rendering all those before her mere prey. Why should Fu Mi concern herself with the opinions of prey?

Despite her internal incredulity, Fu Mil s tone turned grave as she spoke. “Meng Kuo, mind your words. Our leader will arrive shortly. Do you comprehend our leader’s temperament? Are you seeking conflict with our leader?”

The black-faced man named Meng Kuo burst into laughter upon hearing that..
