Chapter 165: Why Did She Grow a Mouth?


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


Wen Yu was clenching that small amber bottle tightly and had unspeakable grat.i.tude. She knew that it was that small drop of Silver Stamen Gold l.u.s.ter Ca.s.sia nectar in the bottle that had completely changed her fate.


Without the drop of nectar Lin Yuan had given her, Wen Yu knew that she was destined to be eliminated during the spirit attendant’s ranking exam, and she would need to give up her position as a spirit attendant. But with Lin Yuan’s drop of nectar, she was at least able to keep her position as a spirit attendant.


She might not be able to get ranked at the top, but even if she was at the bottom, as long as she could stay in the Radiant Moon Palace as a spirit attendant, she would still be able to climb up the rankings.


Furthermore, this drop of Silver Stamen Gold l.u.s.ter Ca.s.sia nectar had actually improved her const.i.tution significantly.


All of the spirit attendants had similar talents, but Wen Yu’s improvement in strength was affected due to her damaged roots. Now that her apt.i.tude was better, she would be able to catch up with other spirit attendants’ progress in just a matter of time.


When Wen Yu was walking toward the back, she took a glance at Jin Qi and realized that she was smiling. Thus, she looked at the entrance that was connected to the inner palace. Her face was beaming, and her eyes were filled with indescribable expectations.


Wen Yu couldn’t help sighing.


Ever since Jin Qi had learned that the Moon Empress had accepted a disciple that was around the same age as her, she had been filled with inappropriate thoughts. Wen Yu had reminded her, but in return, Wen Yu had received Jin Qi’s anger.


Wen Yu didn’t care if other spirit attendants would be picked, but Jin Qi would definitely not be picked—even though she was no. 2 among the spirit attendants—because their conversation that night had been brought to Lin Yuan’s ears by the autumn wind.


Just as Wen Yu walked to the back of all the spirit attendants, Jin Qi suddenly said to the spirit attendant standing in front of her, “Pan Yue! Why do you have a withered flower on your head?”


The spirit attendant called Pan Yue quickly removed the red flower on her head and took a look at it. It might not be withered, but it was rather listless. Pan Yue then quickly hid the red flower in her sleeve and said with frustration, “I have looked through many flowers, but you plucked all of them. You still dare to say it is withered, such shamelessness.”


When Jin Qi looked at Pan Yue, she felt much better. Pan Yue might be better looking than her, but it was only when she was quiet. Whenever Pan Yue spoke, everything would be torn apart. Why did a beautiful girl like her have to grow a mouth?


How could such an ignorant girl be picked?


Jin Qi was filled with confidence in herself. In terms of strength, she might only be ranked no. 2, but in terms of speech, Pan Yue would never be able to compare with her. Once Pan Yue started speaking, she would lose.


At that moment, two figures appeared at the entrance connected to the inner palace.


There was a woman wearing moon-colored robes with a cold expression and graceful bearing.


There was a handsome, suns.h.i.+ne youth with a faint smile. Anyone who saw him would feel that he was particularly amiable.


As the two figures walked into the Radiant Moon Palace’s main palace, all of the spirit attendants bowed in unison. “Greetings to the Moon Empress, greeting to Lord Lin Yuan.”


The spirit attendants might all be bending down, but they knew that they would be like carps leaping into the dragon gate and would never be the same again if they were picked. Therefore, when they were all looking at the ground, they were all nervous and filled with expectations.


Perhaps when Lin Yuan was making a choice, he would be picking someone randomly, and it was indifferent. However, to these spirit attendants, it was truly considered the greatest fated opportunities of their life.


The Moon Empress turned to look at Lin Yuan and said lightly, “Lin Yuan, pick one yourself. If you feel that one spirit attendant isn’t enough, then pick two.”


The Moon Empress’ words made all the spirit attendants delighted, but the youth immediately responded, “Master, one is enough.”


Lin Yuan only wanted to open one shop, so one spirit attendant was already enough. He didn’t feel it was necessary to have an additional spirit attendant.


When all the spirit attendants lifted their heads, they had varying expressions, but all of them had a sincere expectation.


When Lin Yuan glanced at all the spirit attendants, he realized that the only spirit attendant he was familiar with and had spoken with was only Wen Yu. He had quite a good impression of Wen Yu, so he simply pointed at Wen Yu.


Wen Yu was standing at a position farthest from Lin Yuan, and when he appeared, she was clutching onto the amber bottle with increasing strength. It would be false if Wen Yu said that she wasn’t nervous, and it would be even more pretentious if she said she didn’t wish for Lin Yuan to pick her. However, at the same time, Wen Yu wished to say thank you to Lin Yuan personally.


In Wen Yu’s heart, the person she was most grateful to was the Moon Empress, who had established her life. But now, there was another person, and it was Lin Yuan.


Lin Yuan had rescued her shattered life, which was already established, allowing her shattered life to become settled again.


When Wen Yu saw Lin Yuan pointing at her, she felt as though all of her strength had vanished. Her mind was in chaos, as there was pleasant surprise, excitement, and also disbelief.


However, there was more of an indescribable peace of mind. If she was able to become Lin Yuan’s a.s.sistant, she wouldn’t have to say thank you to Lin Yuan. Instead, she could use her actions as an a.s.sistant to repay the favor to Lin Yuan.


When the Moon Empress saw Lin Yuan pointing at Wen Yu, she said, “The one that is picked can stay behind. The rest of the spirit attendants will go back to their respective tasks.”


The spirit attendants looked rather bewildered as none of them imagined that Wen Yu would be picked. The most astonished person was none other than Jin Qi.


Jin Qi had always been very confident in herself, but she knew that she might not be picked. Nonetheless, she never ever expected that Wen Yu would be picked. At this moment, Jin Qi knew that she wasn’t even qualified to be jealous.


The instant Wen Yu became Lin Yuan’s a.s.sistant, Jin Qi, and Wen Yu’s status had a drastic difference. If Wen Yu wished to take revenge on her, she could just find a reason for Jin Qi to be dismissed from the Radiant Moon Palace. All of her expectations and fantasies had turned gray now.


Just as Ji Qi was going to walk out of the Radiant Moon Palace with a disappointed expression, she heard a cracking voice that echoed in her ears. “If you find too many excuses for yourself and if it continues, anyone will become depressed.”


When hearing this statement, Jin Qi turned around to see a calm Pan Yue. Before Jin Qi could get angry, she couldn’t help asking, after seeing Pan Yue’s face that wasn’t disappointed at all, “Are you not disappointed at all?”


Pan Yue rolled her eyes and giggled. “What is there to be disappointed about? As long as I can go onto the Star Web to see those energetic young people, my life is fulfilled.”


Jin Qi felt even worse after hearing Pan Yue’s strange peal of laughter.


The Moon Empress gave some comments after Lin Yuan picked Wen Yu and returned to the inner palace.


The Moon Empress knew everything that happened within her Radiant Moon Palace, but she had never meddled in Wen Yu’s affairs before.


For any place with people, it would be a martial world, and the martial world was a place of contest. It was already so for places with ordinary people, let alone the Radiant Moon Palace where all the spirit attendants were prodigies.


The contest between spirit attendants was just like the calm water on the surface—there were raging undercurrents.


But it was because of this reason that true pillars were able to be filtered out from all of these prodigies.
