Chapter 1236: You’re the Carefree One!
Even before the Lifespan Mouse had been transformed into a fey by the pure spirit qi, it already possessed impressive intelligence.
Although it was not as smart as housekeeping beasts like Genius, it was as smart as Chimey before it transformed into a fey.
The Lifespan Mouse still could not speak but could easily understand Lin Yuan’s intentions.
For example, when Lin Yuan fed the Soldier Ration Radish to the Lifespan Mouse, he noticed it liked to eat the stem. However, the most nutritious part of the Soldier Ration Radish was its leaves.
Hence, Lifespan Mouse instructed the Lifespan Mouse to eat the leaves instead.

As much as the Lifespan Mouse preferred to eat the stem, it started to eat the leaves as per Lin Yuan’s instructions.
It only furtively nibbled the stems when it noticed Lin Yuan busily attending to other matters. It seemed scared of Lin Yuan finding out that it was secretly the stem.

This was about the intelligence level of a six-year-old child.
When the Lifespan Mouse heard Lin Yuan say that he was going to give it to someone else, the Lifespan Mouse started to scamper in circles in Lin Yuan’s palm anxiously.
It looked at Lin Yuan with sad eyes, questioning how Lin Yuan could bear to give such an adorable creature like itself away.
…
Lin Yuan hurriedly circulated his spiritual power and released it to soothe the Lifespan Mouse through his palm.
Yet, the Lifespan Mouse looked even sadder. Tears welled up in its eyes and wet the orange fur around its eyes.
Lin Yuan realized that the Lifespan Mouse was concerned that leaving him meant that it would not be able to feel such pure spirit qi anymore. This explained why the Lifespan Mouse looked even more hurt after it felt the pure spirit qi that Lin Yuan released.
...
Lin Yuan caressed the Lifespan Mouse’s soft yet firm fur and said, “Little one, you will still be able to receive abundant pure spirit qi when you’re by your new master’s side. You only have a year’s worth of lifespan. If you don’t quickly form a contract with a person and absorb spiritual ingredients that contain vitality, you still won’t be able to receive any more spirit qi once the year is up. You’ll be able to eat as many vitality-increasing spiritual ingredients as you want and continue living with your new master. You’ll also be able to receive pure spirit qi whenever you want. Do you still remember the other feys chasing you in the forest? Once you form a contract with the new master, she will protect you. You will never have to spend another day running for your life.”
The Lifespan Mouse slowly calmed down and gripped Lin Yuan’s finger with its two small paws.
It gently tugged at his finger. It was obviously still reluctant to leave Lin Yuan.
He smiled warmly and said, “Your new master is my Master. I will be spending a lot of time with her, so we’ll have plenty of opportunities to see each other. Once you’re there, you’ll also be able to become friends with a stingy carrot-loving rabbit. That rabbit is just as carefree as you are. The two of you should be able to get along happily.”
While Lin Yuan was speaking, Zixi was lazily spread out on a table. It had placed its carrot in the jade basin next to it.
Zixi’s eyes trembled as large tears spilled from its eyes. However, Zixi seemed to be afraid of people spotting its tears as it hastily wiped its face clean with its white paws.
The carrot in the basin no longer interested Zixi.
If Zixi knew that Lin Yuan was currently speaking to the Lifespan Mouse, it would have waved its carrot angrily at him despite his position as the Moon Empress’ disciple.
You’re the carefree one! I eat carrots to train myself. You still haven’t witnessed how powerful I am! I’m not stingy at all. Countless experts in this world are dying to get a whiff of my carrot, but they can only dream of doing so. Yet, you not only got to taste the carrot skin but even got to eat half of the carrot. My carrot still hasn’t fully recovered! Hmph! I’m angry!

After Lin Yuan comforted the Lifespan Mouse, he went back to his room to shower.
He had limited resources in the Divine Wood Federation and had not had the chance to shower at all.
Lin Yuan’s genes had been refined, and his skin had gained resistance to dust.
However, he had a habit of showering daily, and missing just a day was enough to make his skin crawl.
As he listened to the sounds of rus.h.i.+ng water in the shower, he could calmly a.s.sess his recent experiences.
During this trip to the Divine Wood Federation, he had smoothly established himself in the Startling Lines Continent.
He was now the honorary Captain of the Sincere Merchant Group and had gained a medium through which he could trade in the Startling Lines Continent. This also meant that he had his own native faction in the Great Lush Federation.
Ta Lei’s Horseshoe Tribe allowed Lin Yuan to gain an official channel through which he could expand himself into the Iron Hammer Federation.
Luo Ya, who came from a Cla.s.s 2 family, was considered a member of the elite in the Divine Wood Federation. This would enable Lin Yuan to develop himself rapidly in the Divine Wood Federation.
The progress in the Startling Lines Continent was going smoothly.
Once Su Yiren arrived by his side, her status as a Dark Envoy would be able to aid in Lin Yuan’s development greatly.
As for the marsh world, Lin Yuan never imagined that he would be able to subjugate an expert like White Speak.
White Speak had taken over Dark Scorpion’s territory, which was right in front of Lin Yuan’s own territory. This essentially formed a barrier that separated Lin Yuan’s territory from potential dangers.
Rising Lizard, Wendy, and White Pavilion would be able to quickly increase their power and gain faith power through the neverending stream of Marsh Crocodiles.
Everything was thriving.
This thought made Lin Yuan smile.
It seemed that he needed to start something when he returned to the Divine Wood Federation.
After showering, he put on light green and lunar yellow spirit qi clothes that Wen Yu had only designed recently.
Most of Lin Yuan’s spirit qi clothes were black, white, and blue. He almost never wore light green and lunar yellow spirit qi clothes like the ones he had just put on.
The patterns on the light green and lunar yellow spirit qi clothes incorporated the dotting with kingfishers technique. Diamond Bright Light Oriole’s tail feathers were stuck to the front of the spirit qi clothes that included metal as its base.
Ice Silkworm Threads wove golden embroidery patterns of a cloud-covered sunset.
The golden threads obscured the beauty of the Bright Light Oriole’s tail feathers and made the entire spirit qi clothes appear exceptionally soft.
