Chapter 2894 What Do You Mean By I Won"t Force It!
The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake had already evolved into a lifeform called the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake. In terms of bloodline, the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake was undoubtedly closer to the Nirvana Sky Snake bloodline.
Just as Lin Yuan had expected, the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake had stripped away the wood-elemental energy in its body and become a pure soul-type lifeform. Becoming a pure soul-type lifeform would help the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake control other lifeforms.
The Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake"s original Silver ability, Wood Forging Armor, had become Soul Forging Armor. Through the fusion of soul energy with its body, it formed an armor to protect itself.
Even prior to the transformation of its bloodline, the soul energy in the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake"s body was much more than the wood-elemental energy in its body. Therefore, from any perspective, the change in the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake"s Silver ability was a good thing!
The exclusive skill that the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake obtained after evolving to Suzerain was called Snake Devouring Rampage, which granted it the ability to control the lives of the snake-type feys and easily decide their life and death.
When encountering troublesome enemies, the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake could increase the strength of the snake-type feys it controlled by letting them devour each other. It could use this ability to kill powerful enemies above its level.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, if a fey wanted to unleash a powerful ability surpa.s.sing its grade, it would have to endure many negative effects. The Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake also had to bear the consequences. However, these consequences would not directly affect it. Rather, they would impact the snake-type feys under its control.
Snake Devouring Rampage allowed the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake to display its cruel and cold-blooded nature. All the snake-type feys it nurtured and controlled served as ammunition for the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake to fight enemies and could be easily discarded.
Logically speaking, when a Myth Breed fey obtained the ability to fight beyond its grade, the contractor would definitely be very happy. Although Lin Yuan was also very happy with the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake, it was Brahma Snake Totem that caught his eye.
When Brahma Snake Totem was used, it would transform itself into a totem imprinted on Lin Yuan"s body. Lin Yuan could then share the wors.h.i.+p of snake-type feys with the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake and perfectly control the snake-type feys under its command.
This was equivalent to Lin Yuan possessing the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake"s ability. It was very similar to a possession-type skill. However, it was fundamentally different from a real possession-type ability.
After the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake transformed into a totem and attached itself to Lin Yuan, the latter unexpectedly gained the faith power that should rightfully belong to the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake. This was a source of faith power for Lin Yuan.
Originally, Lin Yuan had not planned to spend too many resources on nurturing the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake. But now, he changed his mind. He was prepared to wantonly nurture snake-species feys.
The Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake was currently in its totem state, so Lin Yuan could use these snake-species feys to wantonly increase his strength and achieve many of his goals. He could even wantonly control snake-species feys.
In terms of the nourishment of faith power, the sub-snake was very different from ordinary snake-species feys. This prevented Lin Yuan from using the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake to convert other feys. Lin Yuan needed to obediently search for the snake-species and control them.
…
Upon hearing the knock on the door, Lin Yuan put away the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake and gestured for Kani to open the door.
Andre, who was standing at the door, had a strange expression on his face.
As the Andra Elder in charge of receiving Lin Yuan, he was observing Lin Yuan"s strength and also seeking to obtain some benefits from him at the same time. Andre was a profit-seeker. He only had a good impression of Lin Yuan after the latter gave him some spirit qi crystals as a reward.
Andre wondered if the Elders would covet Lin Yuan"s wealth if he reported it to them.
Lin Yuan did not have many followers. However, due to the World Cleansing triggered by the feys in Lin Yuan"s room, the Andra experts were unable to surpa.s.s the s.h.i.+elding and probe into the situation inside the room.
After this incident, the Andra clan"s att.i.tude toward Lin Yuan had changed. Their initial probing had turned into fear and admiration.
When Andre came to see Lin Yuan again, the pressure was undoubtedly much greater than before.
Upon entering the room, Andre saw Lin Yuan looking at him elegantly. Although he did not say anything, he tilted his head slightly and revealed a questioning expression.
Andre hurriedly said, "Lord, the Andra clan has already prepared a banquet for you. When are you willing to go for a meal? I"ll arrange for them to wait to prevent those delicacies from getting cold. In order to express the sincerity of our Andra clan, we specially took out a jar of blood wine that has been stored for more than 10,000 years. There aren"t many bottles left in the Andra clan"s wine cellar."
Under normal circ.u.mstances, there was a tradition within the Bloodians where guests followed the host"s lead, and guests were expected to comply with the host"s arrangements. Andre"s att.i.tude toward Lin Yuan was that of a host accommodating his guest. This was a significant gesture of goodwill to a Bloodian with long-standing traditions.
Andre represented the Andra clan, and his words represented the clan"s att.i.tude toward Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan remembered that the vintage of the blood wine Andre originally mentioned was not as high as it was now. It seemed that the Andra clan had raised their standards to deal with him upon learning about his strength.
Lin Yuan was very satisfied with the change in the Andra clan"s att.i.tude toward him. This was the effect he wanted and the only way to facilitate Lin Yuan"s goals.
"Mr. Andre, you don"t have to be so polite to a Bloodian junior like me. I"ve never liked to steal the limelight, so it"s better for the guest to follow the host. I will attend whenever the Andra clan is ready to host. Compared to attending this banquet, I"m more concerned about when I can observe the records of the Andra clan and gain some understanding of the Scarlet Territory.
"I"ve always been a person who doesn"t like to drag things out. If the Andra clan really can"t satisfy my request, just tell me directly. I don"t think I"ll force it!"
Andre"s hair stood on end when he heard Lin Yuan"s words. What did he mean by he wouldn"t force it? Lin Yuan"s words seemed to be telling Andre that if the Andra clan didn"t let him read the records, they would have to bear the consequences!
Andre hurriedly said, "Your Grace Black, there"s naturally no problem if you want to read the records of the Andra clan regarding the Scarlet Territory. After the banquet ends, I"ll bring you to the Hidden Book Pavilion of the Andra clan. At that time, you can read whatever you want. The other books in the Hidden Book Pavilion are all collected by the Andra clan. If you are interested, you can also read them!"
Lin Yuan smiled. "I"ve always been fond of making friends. I"m willing to be friends with the Andra clan since considering your treatment toward me. I have many spirit qi crystals made by Creators using secret techniques. They are the things I gave you previously.
"In addition, there"s also pure elemental energy of various elements. The resources created by these Creators are precious to any species. I don"t think I need to say more about how sincere I am in trading with you."
Andre"s expression was abnormally excited. The Andra clan had treated Lin Yuan so well, not hesitating to take out the blood wine that had been stored in the cellar for 10,000 years. They had even let Lin Yuan read the Andra clan"s precious books. Their purpose was to befriend Lin Yuan and obtain some benefits from him at the same time.
Andre, who had come to contact Lin Yuan, was also responsible for communicating with him. However, he did not know how he should speak to Lin Yuan. He was afraid that Lin Yuan might suspect him of having ulterior motives. It wouldn"t be good if that were the case!
Now that Lin Yuan had taken the initiative to propose a trade with the Andra clan, Andre no longer had any qualms. When the family clan found out about the situation, they would definitely reward him.
Apart from fulfilling his clan"s mission, Andre also wanted to use the convenience of interacting with Lin Yuan to obtain some benefits from him. Judging from the reward that Lin Yuan had just given him, he should be generous enough to satisfy his selfish desires.
Since Lin Yuan wanted to be on good terms with the Andra clan, he definitely needed a middleman. Andre would like to act as the middleman between Lin Yuan and the Andra clan.
However, Andre wasn"t in a hurry to discuss these matters with Lin Yuan. He planned to wait until Lin Yuan engaged in actual dealings with the Andra clan before broaching the subject, hoping to gain Lin Yuan"s favor in the process.
…
Lin Yuan partic.i.p.ated in the Andra clan"s banquet as a descendant of the queen"s bloodline. Despite being the center of attention, Lin Yuan didn"t make much of a spectacle at the event.
On the other hand, Feng Xuan was eager to show off and had talked to Lin Yuan more than once at the banquet.
If the Andra clan did not value Lin Yuan and had no intention of communicating with him, it would be understandable for Feng Xuan to do so. However, when the Andra clan wanted to show off in front of Lin Yuan, Feng Xuan"s actions became an eyesore.
Feng Xuan represented the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. His actions would lead the Andra clan to believe that the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves were eager to make contact with Lin Yuan, a pure-blooded Bloodian with the queen"s bloodline.
Would the Chaotic Wind Demon Wolves happen to look down on the Andra clan and attempt to seize the opportunity to establish a direct connection with the Elise clan, reaching for a higher branch to fly away?
Upon watching Feng Xuan"s performance, Fan Lou had the thought that he had ruthlessly manipulated Feng Xuan. In the beginning, Fan Lou did not take the initiative to target Feng Xuan. After all, Feng Xuan was not in Fan Lou"s eyes at all.
Now, even Feng Qing no longer instilled fear in Fan Lou, and the entire Chaos Wind Demon Wolves were just a springboard for him.
Fan Lou still acted as a loyal subordinate in front of Feng Qing. Since he was acting, Fan Lou would naturally fulfill his duties as a loyal subordinate and help Feng Qing monitor Feng Xuan. Fan Lou would tell Feng Qing everything that Feng Xuan had done.
Even if Feng Xuan wasn"t tricked to death by Lin Yuan"s plan, he would ultimately be dealt with by Feng Qing. The decline of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves would start because of Feng Xuan"s greed.
Fan Lou didn"t take the initiative to find trouble with Feng Xuan, but the latter changed his att.i.tude in front of Fan Lou and kept showing off to Fan Lou. This infuriated Fan Lou.
When Fan Lou first started following Feng Qing, Feng Xuan often made things difficult for him, causing him to almost lose Feng Qing"s trust several times.
Because of his connection with Lin Yuan, which changed his fate, Fan Lou became indifferent to confronting Feng Xuan. However, this did not mean that he had let go of his hatred for Feng Xuan.
However, Fan Lou was aware that he could not go overboard. If Feng Qing got rid of Feng Xuan in anger, not only would it affect Lin Yuan"s plan, but he would also lose a scapegoat after the incident!
Thinking of this, Fan Lou decided to temporarily suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and tolerate Feng Xuan for a while. In any case, Feng Xuan was already a gra.s.shopper after autumn. He wouldn"t be able to jump for long!
Lin Yuan had been bored at the banquet and had been observing Fan Lou. He was not interested in the dishes and wine that were delicious to the Bloodians at all.
Lin Yuan realized that Fan Lou had a good temperament and knew how to tolerate Feng Xuan"s provocation.
In the beginning, Lin Yuan had just taken Fan Lou under his wing because he was intrigued by Fan Lou"s ident.i.ty as a member of the Sixth Boundary Patrol Team and did not think that Fan Lou could be of much use. However, Lin Yuan felt that nurturing Fan Lou was a good choice now.
After this incident was over, Lin Yuan would fulfill his promise to help Fan Lou take off. Fan Lou might not be strong and talented, but he was really good at reading someone"s body language.
People like Fan Lou were the most suitable to make connections. Lin Yuan had said that he would help Fan Lou become a member of Honor Absent Palace, the most suitable stage for Fan Lou"s development.
Just as Feng Xuan was about to contact and negotiate with Lin Yuan again, Andre pulled Feng Xuan back and said coldly, "Why do you keep hovering around Lord Black? Could it be that your Chaos Wind Demon Wolves harbor intentions toward the Elise clan and want to follow them instead of remaining as a direct subordinate of the Andra clan!?
"If your Chaos Wind Demon Wolves really harbor such intentions, you can tell me directly. I will report to the family clan to fulfill your wishes!
"If you"ve finished your dinner, leave quickly. Later, I"ll personally remind Feng Qing not to have those useless delusions! Our Andra clan has supported your Chaos Wind Demon Wolves for so long. This kind of kindness is not something that you can abandon just because you want to! I believe that Feng Qing should be aware of this!"
Andre was truly enraged by Feng Xuan"s actions. How dare a dependent species member like Feng Xuan meddle with the affairs of the Andra clan!?
If Feng Xuan had not spoken to Lin Yuan, the latter"s att.i.tude toward him would have been pretty good.
Andre had long wanted to get rid of Feng Xuan!
The Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River were all close to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. Was this the reason the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves were so arrogant?
