Chapter 2814 Embroidered Flower Form Hearts!
Endless Summer knew that Blood Love was asking these questions because she was concerned about her future.
It was true that upon arrival in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Lin Yuan would have to begin developing his territory, much like when he began venturing into the marsh world.
First, he would have to find a suitable place to set up camp before slowly expanding his establishment. This was the most stable and reliable course of action.
This principle also applied despite the large establishment atop Sky Sea's back.
While Lin Yuan was developing his territory, he could use the demon insects as his eyes to investigate the surroundings and make contact with the other factions in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Hence, there would be no resource allocation tasks for Endless Summer to attend to in the beginning.
After a moment of silence, Endless Summer said, "Qin Yu is much more suited to internal management than I am. He and Wen Yu also have good chemistry. It's likely that once we get to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Qin Yu will become Wen Yu's a.s.sistant and handle the tasks a.s.signed to him by Wen Yu. He could also be taken in by Liu Jie and be a.s.signed to manage the white-clothed followers.
"I work well with Listen. Although we occasionally diverge in opinion, we are usually on the same page. There won't be any resource allocation tasks in the beginning, but as the development progresses, we will need to set up channels through which to trade resources.
"I work well with Listen. Although we occasionally diverge in opinion, we are usually on the same page. There won't be any resource allocation tasks in the beginning, but as the development progresses, we will need to set up channels through which to trade resources.
"I will still have to work with Listen in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. You know that I've never liked fighting and killing. Moreover, both my exclusive skills and divine kingdom ability are functional-type. I'll go with you to see Lin Yuan later so I can give him something. I also want to ask him for some resources."
Blood Love nodded.
Endless Summer had everything planned out. She knew what she needed and what she needed to do.
Endless Summer had always been more mature than Blood Love and looked after her like an older sister would.
Since Endless Summer had a clear plan for herself, there was nothing more for Blood Love to say.
Frankly, Blood Love would prefer Endless Summer to work with Wen Yu on internal governance rather than handle resource allocation in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. The members of Sky City who stood out and became pivotal cogs in the system were those who were involved in internal governance.
Endless Summer smiled and picked up Blood Love's hand. "Sister Blood, rather than you being concerned for me, I care more about whether you've faced your true self.
"Being a good match for each other doesn't really matter in relations.h.i.+ps. All that matters is that both parties are attracted to each other. If the two sides feel the same way about each other, they will naturally stick."
If Blood Love heard this from Endless Summer in the past, she would become filled with melancholy. But now, she felt exceptionally calm.
"Sister Summer, you didn't become acquainted with Lin Yuan much later than I did. You watched him on his journey, too. Do you think he has ever thought about starting a relations.h.i.+p? His life is much too fulfilling. Aside from his ever-growing responsibilities and goals, he has never paid serious attention to anything. How could I allow myself to become stuck? Regardless of anything, I am his Path Protector and eternal companion. That's enough!"
Endless Summer sighed softly. She knew that Blood Love had to have thought things through deeply and carefully before making such a decision.
It was true that when it came to someone as spectacular as Lin Yuan, becoming his companion was the most sustainable relations.h.i.+p.
Many people around Lin Yuan shared the same sentiments as Blood Love.
Wen Yu was one of them. However, she did a better job of hiding her feelings. Wen Yu might have also made the same decision.
Since Blood Love's perspective was clear and she had made its decision, there was no need for Endless Summer to say anything more. She would just support Blood Love as her sister.
"Sister Blood, let me go and notify Listen and Qin Yu before I leave with you. I am sure they have asked Lin Yuan for his opinion."
Endless Summer was very certain of the decision that Lin Yuan would make.
Although Listen had joined Lin Yuan earlier, he spent the majority of his time managing the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce and rarely spent time with Lin Yuan. Hence, he did not have as good of an understanding of Lin Yuan.
If Lin Yuan had wanted to save this batch of resources for the Radiance Federation, he would have given it directly to the Moon Empress or one of the members of royalty so the Radiance Federation could distribute it internally.
Listen knew that Lin Yuan loved the Radiance Federation. Still, he did not know Lin Yuan had set his goals beyond becoming a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence or Radiance Envoy long ago.
Otherwise, Lin Yuan would not have distributed resources to the entire main world instead of saving all of them for the Radiance Federation and focused on solely building up the Radiance Federation!
Lin Yuan would definitely tell Listen to divide the resources among all of the federations in the main world and to take special care of the federations that struggled to fend for themselves.
However, he would also instruct Listen not to do things too obviously.
The quant.i.ty of resources was not the issue. The concern was with the equitable distribution of those resources. This issue did not only apply to the human world. It applied to the fey world as well.
It was inevitable for federations that obtained more of Lin Yuan's resources to become the target of resentment from other federations.
Given Lin Yuan's intelligence and strategic mind, there was no way he would not have thought of all this.
When Endless Summer heard Lin Yuan's answer and confirmed that he had given the response she had expected, she did not say anything to Listen. All she did was smile at him.
This was not the first time that this had happened.
Each time there was a split in their opinions, she was the one who accurately guessed Lin Yuan's thoughts.
Each time, Listen's att.i.tude toward her would change slightly.
This time, Listen began to ponder and consider whether her stance was the right one. He was unlike Qin Yu, who stubbornly stuck by his stance.
This was what was known as adaptation.
"Listen and Qin Yu, it won't be long before we have to depart. The two of you should make the arrangements quickly. I need to go and see Lin Yuan about some matters. If you can't handle the workload, I can leave Sister Blood here to help you."
Endless Summer spoke honestly and had no intention of elevating her position.
In the past, there had been a long period of time when Endless Summer was Sky City's strongest expert.
Endless Summer had saved Listen's life once in the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce's President's Office.
She had also saved Lin Yuan more than once.
Hence, many members of Sky City were extremely respectful toward Endless Summer despite being stronger than her.
For the people who joined Sky City the earliest, this was because of their innate feelings towards her. But for those who joined later, it was more so because of Endless Summer's link to Blood Love.
Back at the Return from Faraway Mansion
When Lin Yuan saw Endless Summer and Blood Love walk in while holding hands, he said with a smile, "Liu Jie has gone to fetch ingredients. Wen Yu will be back soon as well. We haven't had a proper gathering in a very long time. Endless Summer, you have worked hard working with Listen all this time!"
Endless Summer hurriedly waved her hand. "Lin Yuan, please don't say that! It makes it sound as though I'm not a member of Sky City!"
Endless Summer gazed at this young man who had saved her life and changed her fate. He had now grown into a fully-fledged man.
If she had not been aware of Blood Love's feelings toward Lin Yuan from the beginning, she might have also developed special feelings toward him.
Endless Summer did not wait for Lin Yuan to respond. Rather, she took out a pink and purple embroidered flower ball that looked as though it was made of jade and held it out to Lin Yuan.
"Lin Yuan, this is a product of my divine kingdom. Do you think it'll be useful to you? There is a fragmented tree core in the flower ball. The tree core has the same effects on plant-type feys as the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire because it contains energy from the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire!"
Lin Yuan received the embroidered flower ball and used True Data to check on Endless Summer.

[Magical Dream Finger]: The energy in the blooming flora and fauna will be transformed into mind energy and gathered in its finger to supply it to targets. The mind energy's attack on the target will put the target's mind and soul in a dream state. The target can only be awakened through a special method.

[Thriving Summer Territory]: Regardless of the environment, its own energy will be used to trigger and bring forth a thriving summer. Its surroundings will form a thriving summer territory where it will be protected. All targets in the territory will be nourished and boosted by the thriving summer.
Divine Kingdom Abilities:
[Embroidered Flowers Form Hearts]: Its body will take root in the divine kingdom. Faith power will be used to trigger the main body and cause flowers to bloom on the main body. The faith power will combine with the flowers to form flower jades that contain tree cores. The tree cores are able to revive plant-type lifeforms. The revived plant-type lifeforms will go on to provide it with energy and faith power.
Based on Endless Summer's data, Lin Yuan now knew the effects of this jade-like embroidered flower ball.
Lin Yuan learned from the description of the divine kingdom ability that the tree core could indeed be used in place of the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire.
The Lifeform Sacrificial Fire was a treasure that had a place on the ranking of precious treasures. It came from the Twin Red PaG.o.da.
The Twin Red PaG.o.da was a plant that was desired but almost impossible to attain. Even if it was attained, it required a large amount of resources to be nurtured.
If Lin Yuan did not have Morbius and the Spirit Lock spatial zone could dissect energy ores to produce exceptionally pure spirit qi for the Twin Red PaG.o.da to absorb, there was no way it could have produced the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire within a century.
Back then, the Twin Red PaG.o.da that had been shackled in the dimensional rift had only managed to produce a spark after a few thousand years pa.s.sed.
Lin Yuan said solemnly, "Endless Summer, the tree core in the flower jade you produce using your divine kingdom ability can save any plant-type lifeform. It is extremely precious. You will have to use your faith power to produce them often in the future.
"However, once the tree cores you produce have saved plant-type lifeforms, the plant-type lifeforms will also be able to compensate you and help you obtain faith power. This is also a way for you to quickly increase your power. You can pick a few promising plant-type feys at the Sky Beyond the Clouds and begin working on them."
