Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 1165: Everyone Are Actors


Anguished cries erupted from the coc.o.o.n and lasted for close to ten seconds before Lin Yuan instructed the Source Seed to absorb the Red Lotus Soft Gold and release the man.


After the man was released, his face was tear-soaked, and he looked as though he had been ravaged by something.


Before Lin Yuan could ask again, the skinny man trembled like a leaf as he said, “We come from Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps. The Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps’ goal is to steal all of the Great Lush Federation’s merchants’ resources. We were also instructed to kill all of the merchants from the Great Lush Federation and push the blame to the Iron Hammer Federation so that the rest of the merchants from the Great Lush Federation will be too afraid to organize bazaars at the Iron Hammer Federation’s territory.


“Miss Luo Ya is a Cla.s.s 1 Creation Master from a Cla.s.s 2 family. She’s also the deputy head of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps. Please, I’m begging you. I’ve told you everything that I know, so please spare me! If you let me live, I’ll do anything. I can even become your plate.”


Lin Yuan immediately started grinning awkwardly.


Don’t! Please don’t be my plate! How am I supposed to eat on a plate like that?


Lin Yuan suppressed his nausea and looked at the other four pale and silent members of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps with bemus.e.m.e.nt.


It was clear that the man’s howls of pain had stupefied them.


Lin Yuan had expected that he would have to resort to unscrupulous methods to obtain information from them.


Yet, they had shown their hand the moment he made his first move. There was nothing else that he wanted to find out about.


From the information he received, Lin Yuan immediately came up with a way to become closer to the merchants from the Great Lush Federation.


He could tell that the five men valued their lives.


As of now, Lin Yuan did not have the means to travel between the Divine Wood Federation and Radiance Federation with ease.


Although these five men were not Spirit Craftsmen, they could help speed up the progress of the underground palace’s construction by providing manual labor.


Now that these five men no longer had phones, they had lost their means of communication.


Hence, Lin Yuan did not have to be wary around them.


After Lin Yuan threatened them, he sent them underground.


He was not worried that they would not work without a reward to look forward to. If they were idle, Feng Shuang, Elder He, and Hu Tuan would keep them in line in order to curry favor with Lin Yuan.


Lin Yuan said, “Big Brother Liu, you’ll have to act alongside me.”


He told Liu Jie about his plan in detail, and Liu Jie took two sets of clothes out of a Diamond fey storage box.


“Since we’re going to act, we have to be serious about it to make it seem real,” said Liu Jie.


Lin Yuan gave Liu Jie a thumbs up and replied, “Nice one, Big Brother Liu. How professional!”


The clothes that Liu Jie handed Lin Yuan looked expensive, but they were nothing more than frumpy spirit qi clothes in Lin Yuan’s trained eyes.


Most of the spirit qi clothes worn by rich spirit qi professionals with taste had simple designs but were made with expensive materials or came with exquisite accessories.


The spirit qi clothes in Lin Yuan’s hands had many ostentatious jewels sewn on.


These jewels were not expensive and could be found in Cla.s.s 1 and Cla.s.s 2 subterranean dimensional rifts in almost every federation.


Hence, even people with evil intentions would not target him.


Lin Yuan quickly put the clothes on and said, “Big Brother Liu, help me slash some holes in this. I want to look as pathetic as possible.”


Liu Jie scratched his head uncomfortably.


No matter how much he was against laying a hand on Lin Yuan, he still summoned the Insect Queen and instructed it to produce one Normal Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect.


The Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect gently slashed 20 small holes in Lin Yuan’s clothes.


Liu Jie instructed the Hurricane Owlet Moth to produce a gust of wind to mess up Lin Yuan’s hair and tear the holes even further.


“Done! However, I still think something seems off. This set of clothes appears expensive yet old-fas.h.i.+oned at the same time. People with real means will turn their noses up at them, but people who are not as discerning will covet them. The choice of clothes is fine, and you do look like you’re in a sorry state after they’re ripped. When you’re wearing them, your natural charisma takes over and dissipates all the old-fas.h.i.+oned aura they have. You don’t look anything like the son of a rich family that was attacked and is on the run,” said Liu Jie in a conflicted tone.


The longer Liu Jie looked at Lin Yuan, the more he felt that Lin Yuan had an overwhelmingly outstanding aura.


Liu Jie was most worried that Luo Ya would not be able to hold back after seeing Lin Yuan and end up pouncing on him.


Although he had never been to the Divine Wood Federation, Liu Jie had read up a considerable amount about the Divine Wood Federation.


The liberal culture in the Divine Wood Federation was unimaginable for many young and sheltered girls in the Radiance Federation. Even 50-year-old middle-aged women would not be able to hold back from turning their heads away.


Lin Yuan grabbed a handful of dirt and rubbed it all over his face and clothes.


When he saw himself in the reflection of the Source Sand’s chain blade, Lin Yuan smiled brightly and said, “Don’t I look much better now?”


Liu Jie was just about to tell Lin Yuan that the black dirt only contrasted against his ivory skin even more and did not dampen any of his innate charisma at all.


However, he realized that Lin Yuan’s aura had changed abruptly.


Not only had his aura weakened, but his facial expressions also made him appear helpless and naive.


Although Lin Yuan was emanating the right aura now, he was much more tempting than before.


Liu Jie could not help but grab a few more handfuls of dirt and rub them all over Lin Yuan’s clothes and pants.


He did not stop even after Lin Yuan’s clothes were completely dirty and proceeded to rub the dirt on Lin Yuan’s neck as well.

Finally, he instructed the Insect Queen to explode the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect and shower Lin Yuan in the explosion. This covered Lin Yuan with the rancid stink of insect organs.


Liu Jie thought, This Luo Ya seems to like turning people into her plates on a whim. Will she make a move on Lin Yuan the moment she spots him?


Lin Yuan allowed Liu Jie to do with him as he pleased.
