Chapter 1268: Fortuitous Guest is Staying
The Crimson Jade Osmanthus’ flower sap could slow aging and whiten skin.
When the Crimson Jade Osmanthus’ nectar was applied to one’s face for an extended period, it could enable one to regain the appearance of a 20-year-old.
This effect was enough to drive any female spirit qi professional crazy.
However, it was still unconfirmed if the legend was true that the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus could evolve to the Crimson Jade Osmanthus.
Regardless, the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus’ evolution was a good thing.
Since Wen Yu was a Cla.s.s 2 Creation Master, she could not immediately see the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow’s abilities.
On the other hand, Zong Ze was almost a Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master.
The moment he realized how special the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow was, he immediately stopped Liu Jie and Wen Yu and told them to remain calm.
When he saw the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow let down its guard with Lin Yuan, Zong Ze said, “Ah Yuan, congratulations on having such a fortuitous guest visit your mansion.”
Lin Yuan replied with a smile, “I have you to thank as well. If you hadn’t decided to leave at the right time, this little fella and I wouldn’t have been able to cross paths.”
…
Lin Yuan was not speaking superficially but rather voicing his true thoughts.
The Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow’s abdomen was injured, but the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus’ abilities could only target the spiritual level. Hence, it would not be able to heal the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow’s physical injury.
In order to speed up the healing of the injury, it was likely that the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow would leave the mansion to find a way to heal itself.
Even if the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow imprinted on the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus and came back eventually, it was likely that the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow’s superfluous feathers would attract trouble to it.
If the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow died someplace else, all the fortune that was supposed to descend on the mansion’s people would be gone.
After sending Zong Ze off, Lin Yuan activated the Source Sand.
The Source Sand produced many black feathers that formed a pair of wings on Lin Yuan’s back.
Lin Yuan flapped the wings and carried the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow with him to the main branch of the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus.
He determined the most stable spot on the branch and tried to grab the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow from his shoulder.
But before his hand even touched the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow, it hopped onto the branch itself.
Lin Yuan realized that although the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow was no longer wary around him, he still needed to maintain a safe distance from it.
Lin Yuan did not mind this and picked some suitably-sized branches and used one of his feathers to cut the branches into seven or eight-centimeter twigs.
He used these branches to create a simple nest before returning to the ground and retracting the black feathers.
Lin Yuan knew that the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow would not live in the nest he had built. Still, he had done so as a gesture to show the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow that it could live comfortably without a worry in the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus.
He also wanted it to know that it could go to him if it had any problems.
The Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow was an exceedingly cautious avian-type fey and would not build its nest while being watched.
As such, Lin Yuan dragged Liu Jie and Wen Yu back into the mansion.
When Lin Yuan saw Liu Jie and Wen Yu’s astonished expressions, he explained the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow’s abilities to the confused pair.
Liu Jie and Wen Yu did not expect such a huge opportunity to unfold right under their noses.
If Lin Yuan had not discovered this opportunity and Zong Ze stopped them from doing anything, they might have accidentally scared it away.
Liu Jie thought, It truly is easier for Creation Masters to seize opportunities.
Meanwhile, Wen Yu once again realized how vast the gap between her and Lin Yuan’s Creation Master levels was.
She needed to touch feys in order to sense their abilities, while Lin Yuan only needed to look at them.
After night descended, Lin Yuan walked out of the mansion with light footsteps and saw that the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow had kicked the nest he had made to the ground.
A nest made of broken branches and light yellow feathers sat where the nest he had made used to be.
Lin Yuan did not disturb the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow that was happily consuming the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus’ nectar and turned to return to the mansion to hit the sack.
The next morning after breakfast, Lin Yuan went to Star Web and saw Qi Heng and Qi Haitao, who had been waiting for a day.
He put on a resolute face and cut straight to the chase. “Yesterday, the two of you told me to make any request I want and promised to fulfill it. Does that still stand?”
Qi Heng and Qi Haitao exchanged a look, and Qi Heng took a step forward and said, “City Lord, you’re right. Please feel free to make any request you want. The Sea Bliss Clan will do our best to meet your request.”
While Qi Heng spoke, he kept a smile hanging off his face. Yet, his gaze was stony.
From the way Lin Yuan spoke, Qi Heng could tell that Lin Yuan had lost patience with the Sea Bliss Clan and was definitely not going to give the Sea Bliss Clan any room for negotiation.
He was exactly right as Lin Yuan said, “If so, give all of the Sea Bliss Clan’s properties and resources to Sky City. As the City Lord of Sky City, I promise you that I will win the blood pact ultimate fight against Connected Beast Park on your behalf, thereby allowing you to continue living. You can decide what you will do from then on yourselves. Regardless, you just have to hand over everything the Sea Bliss Clan has to me.”
Qi Heng was dumbfounded by what Lin Yuan said.
He had a.s.sumed that Lin Yuan would allow every person from the Sea Bliss Clan to remain there at least to continue managing the Sea Bliss Clan.
However, Lin Yuan had deemed every member of the Sea Bliss Clan as useless and only wanted the resources.
This meant that even if Sea Bliss Clan won the blood pact ultimate fight against Connected Beast Park, they would still be kicked to the streets.
Qi Heng anxiously said, “City Lord, why don’t you—”
But before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuan cut in and said, “The condition I stated is my final offer. If you find it unacceptable, you can face the blood pact ultimate fight against Connected Beast Park yourselves. Once your blood pact ultimate fight is over, Sky City can just issue another blood fight ultimate fight challenge to Connected Beast Park. Then, all your resources will still be mine. Meanwhile, I’m sure you’re aware of what state all of you will be in.”
Lin Yuan stood up and looked as though he was about to leave.
Qi Haitao instantly fell to his knees and spoke to Lin Yuan.
