Lin Yuan prepared to instruct the Jasmine Lily to use its main flower head to use Heal on him as he injected the vitality in his body into the Spirit Qi Imprint.
Chimey started to fly.
Firstly, it used Sunlight Rays on the Jasmine Lily to increase the Jasmine Lily’s liveliness.
Next, Chimey let out a beautiful chirp and changed from a blue bird to a golden-feathered sparrow with a long tail.
With a flap of its wings, a solar disk appeared on its wings.
Chimey hurriedly said to Lin Yuan, “Yuan, take my vitality.”
Lin Yuan knew that Chimey had used Nirvana Light Swansong.
Chimey set all the vitality around it alight, leaving only a sliver of vitality in the solar disk..
However, Chimey did not transform the flaming vitality into sunlight energy. Instead, it used the flaming vitality to cover its body.
After Nirvana Light Swansong was used, the flaming vitality would dissipate quickly if left unutilized.
Lin Yuan would not waste Chimey’s feelings for Genius. He immediately ordered the Jasmine Lily, “Jasmine Lily, use Crystallized Main Flower to use Heal on Chimey.”
A red beam of energy landed on Chimey’s body.
As a large amount of vitality was drained from Chimey, Lin Yuan could sense the vitality in his Vitality Imprint rising.
Soon, the Platinum I/Fantasy III Jasmine Lily drained all the vitality from around Chimey.
Lin Yuan ordered the Jasmine Lily to continue transferring the vitality drained from Chimey into Genius’ body.
When the Jasmine Lily used its Crystallized Main Flower to use Heal, it could not control the flow. Thus, Lin Yuan could not be sure how much vitality was being transferred.
Luckily, Chimey’s Nirvana Light Swansong had kept a sliver of vitality. Otherwise, the Jasmine Lily’s uncontrolled vitality-draining ability could have cost its life.
Soon, Chimey recovered from the bliss that accompanied being exposed to Heal. The solar disk shattered into starlight that entered Chimey’s body and prevented it from plummeting.
Chimey was feebly hovering in the air as it used Bathed in Light to replenish its lost vitality.
Right after Chimey recovered a bit of vitality, it said stubbornly to Lin Yuan, “Yuan, give me five minutes. Once Bathed in Light recovers half my vitality, I’ll be able to use Nirvana Light Swansong again. Then, you can drain my vitality to give to Genius again.”
Lin Yuan could hear the emotions in Chimey’s voice and knew that it did not care at all about the consequences of using Nirvana Light Swansong.
He could not help but think back to the three useless buddies in the Xia Region’s spirit-lifeform store that had to do everything together.
They had to eat together, work together, shower together, and sleep together.
They would accompany each other in everything and share in life’s burdens together.
But no matter how difficult life was, as long as the three useless buddies slept on it, the next day would be a beautiful new start.
This feeling persisted till today and even became stronger than before.
The contracts between feys and contractors allowed them to become close partners.
However, this was not a requirement between feys that were contracted by the same contractor.
Many feys contracted by the same spirit q professional would grow in different directions after gaining wisdom.
However, spirit qi professionals were unaffected.
For example, Lin Yuan did not need to seek Blackie’s approval before instructing the Jasmine Lily to drain Blackie’s vitality.
However, if Lin Yuan asked how Blackie felt about it, it meant that it would be for Genius instead of himself.
It was unlikely that Blackie would agree.
Chimey’s actions were the equivalent of using its life to save Genius.
This meant that Genius was as important to Chimey as its own life, maybe even more important.
Shortly after Chimey spoke, Genius’ tug of war ended.
Lin Yuan felt Genius’ breath change.
Although Genius was a bloodied mess, it had the aura of knowledge.
Lin Yuan realized that Genius’ blue eyes had become even clearer than before. They gave him the feeling that he could see the truth of the world.
Genius was shaking its blood-dampened fur.
The blood was shaken off and splattered on the floor.
Genius’ milky white and soft fur was revealed.
When the blood was shaken off, the aura of knowledge rose to a crescendo.
Four long tails regrew in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yuan felt that the four new tails resembled fox tails more than they did cattails.
Genius did not grow in size after its evolution. It remained about as large as a young cat.
However, each tail was twice as long as Genius.
Genius shook off the last vestiges of blood and leaped into Lin Yuan’s embrace.
Lin Yuan hugged Genius tightly.
Chimey dragged its weak body, landed on his forearm, and pecked Lin Yuan’s hand.
Lin Yuan relaxed his hand, and Chimey squeezed in between his hand and Genius.
It peeked its little head out, and the feathers on its head jutted out.
Chimey gently shut its eyes, and the dampness next to its eyes had yet to dry.
However, the slight curve of its eyes had an unspoken happiness.
Genius lay in Lin Yuan’s arms, and all the pain that had been etched into it and made it tremble at the mere memory was soothed.
To Genius, Lin Yuan was home—his embrace was the warmest place in the world.
Genius softly murmured, “Yuan, after my evolution, I can remember many more than just 30 pieces of red braised meat. I can remember all the red braised meat in the world.”
Lin Yuan’s lip curled upward. Genius was still the same glutton that used red braised meat to describe everything.
Lin Yuan instinctively lowered his head to look at Genius. What he saw made his eyes widen.
Genius was no longer called a Hundred Questions Beast. Instead, it was called the Beast that Connects Everything.
However, what shocked Lin Yuan was not Genius’ name but its new exclusive skills.
Lin Yuan’s most treasured strategic resource was the Floating Island Whale that had yet to hatch.
But now, after Genius evolved to the Beast that Connects Everything, it was as precious of a strategic resource as the Floating Island Whale!
