Chapter 655: Difficult to Avoid Death

After Mystic Moon became Wen Yu’s Path Protector, he retracted his aura and returned to his original appearance.

Mystic Moon said to Wen Yu, “I’ll be going to the outskirts five days later. You should stay by my side until then. I’ll help you to increase your power!”

Wen Yu thought back to the opening of Sky City on Star Web that was taking place tomorrow morning.

She needed to go to the private territory with Lin Yuan. Hence, she said to Mystic Moon, “Master, I need to go to Star Web with the Young Lord tomorrow to help him with some things. I was thinking that I could come back to Radiant Moon Palace to meet up with you when I’m done helping the Young Lord.”

Mystic Moon looked at Wen Yu with amusement and thought,

This brat only went as far as to say that she needs to help Lin Yuan with something on Star Web. She deliberately avoided going into detail about what they’re going to do. Does she think that I have no idea what’s going on? My sacred source lifeform oversees a third of the groups on Star Web.

Mystic Moon thought back to the way Lin Yuan decorated the exterior of his private territory, as well as the people who flocked there daily to see if anything exciting was happening.

This greatly interested Mystic Moon.

Mystic Moon could not help but wonder how Lin Yuan’s brain worked. He had managed to gain a place on the Visitor’s Ranking even though his faction territory had yet to declare its role.

Sky City had even managed to enter the private territories’ Topic Ranking yesterday.

In order for a faction territory to garner any sort of notoriety, it needed to continuously stoke the flames of popularity and try to spread its name through word of mouth.

However, Lin Yuan had used such a simple tactic and managed to reach the level of popularity in two months that other rising factions failed to achieve even after a decade.

If Lin Yuan knew what Mystic Moon was thinking about, he would have sighed at Mystic Moon’s wild train of thought and the enthusiasm of those busybodies who came to his private territory to see if anything exciting was happening.

Lin Yuan just could not figure out why on earth those people would do something so lame.

All I did was not decorate the exterior of my private territory. Is it really worth coming here every day to laugh about it? Is it that much fun to ridicule someone else? It even caused the private territory to end up on the rankings.

Mystic Moon waved his hand, and a rainbow light appeared in his palm.

“Go and ask the Young Lord for a leave of absence. I’ll help you form a marrow contract with this sacred source lifeform now. You’ll only be of more help to the Young Lord after you’ve increased your power.”

Wen Yu agreed with what Mystic Moon said. She picked up her phone and was about to call Lin Yuan.

However, it struck her that he must already be asleep at this hour. Hence, she made a split-second decision and lifted her arm. A piece of paper appeared, and it quickly folded itself into the shape of a crane.

The paper crane rode the breeze and soon disappeared.

Wen Yu used Paper Crane’s Promise to notify Lin Yuan that she would be staying in the Radiant Moon Palace for the time being and that there was no cause for him to worry.

Just before the cusp of dawn, Wen Yu opened her eyes after the marrow contract.

At that moment, a gem the shape of a water chestnut appeared in the center of her forehead.

There seemed to be a cat’s eye etched inside the gem.

When the water chestnut-shaped gem appeared, the etching of the cat’s eye seemed to weave a fantasy world.

In this fantasy world sat people who were in the middle of a grand meeting.

…

Lin Yuan had just woken up when he saw Genius sprawled out on his pillow and staring at him with its round blue eyes.

Chimey was still snoring away on Genius’s head. The feathers on its head occasionally fluttered against the soft fur on Genius’ head.

A paper crane perched on Genius’ mouth flew into Lin Yuan’s hand when it noticed that he had awoken.

Since Lin Yuan had checked Elemental Paper’s attributes using True Data, he immediately recognized the paper crane as Elemental Paper’s Paper Crane’s Promise.

When he saw the words written on the paper crane, Lin Yuan was overjoyed for Wen Yu.

With Mystic Moon as her Master, Wen Yu was sure to learn many things.

Lin Yuan had woken up early today, and it was not even 6:00 a.m. yet.

At this time, Liu Jie should just be waking up, and breakfast would not be ready yet.

Lin Yuan went downstairs and encountered Liu Jie and Duan He sitting on the sofa with grim expressions.

Next to Duan He was an unconscious person covered in blood.

Lin Yuan immediately frowned.

Duan He and Liu Jie noticed Lin Yuan, but neither of them spoke.

“What happened?” asked Lin Yuan.

Duan He quickly replied, “You instructed me to go to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce last night to protect Listen. In the middle of the night, while Listen and Fei Qianqiong were chatting, someone was sneaking around outside. Although this person has not yet reached king-class, he had contracted a Diamond Storm Fearsome Wolf, which made him way too fast for us. Neither Zhou Luo nor Fei Qianqiong is speedy. When the person escaped, he killed seven or eight Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce employees. I sent Purple Demon out, but it ended up using too much strength. Listen asked Fei Qianqiong about it, and he said that the person was not a member of the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce. As such, I decided to bring the person here.”

Liu Jie’s brows drew even tighter. He had just come downstairs to prepare breakfast when he encountered Duan He. He had assumed that Duan He had come to ask Lin Yuan to save this person. He did not expect that the bloodied unconscious person was an enemy spy.

Liu Jie was about to speak when he heard Lin Yuan ask Duan He, “Senior Duan He, the next time something like this happens, don’t bring it into the mansion.”

Lin Yuan’s words confused Duan He.

Lin Yuan added, “Chu Ci is still young. You saw her for yourself last night.”

Duan He immediately understood what Lin Yuan meant and scratched his head in embarrassment as he thought,

I’m really too careless.

Liu Jie had already propped the person up and carried him to the empty space under the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus outside.

Lin Yuan waved his hand over the unconscious man, and green light landed on the man’s body.

Duan He watched as Lin Yuan healed the man and said, “I don’t think he can be saved. Purple Demon ate his feys. His mind might be preserved, but Purple Demon used its tail and attacked him. I’m certain that all his bones other than his skull are broken. Since he has been carrying the wounds for an entire night, it’s unlikely that he’ll live.”
