Chapter 1255: Zong Ze’s Plea for Help
Qi Haitao did not expect Qi Heng to mention him at such an event.
He glanced at his father and hesitated for a second before saying, “If Sky City can promise to protect us, the City Lord of Sky City can make any request of us. This will be able to prove our sincerity to the greatest extent.
“If we offer a promise first, they won’t be satisfied, and there’s no way they will help us overcome this trial. After all, we have no ties with them and even tried to take advantage of them during our previous trade deal.
“Additionally, we shouldn’t zero in on the enmity between Sky City and Connected Beast Park during the negotiation because it has nothing to do with us, and they don’t need to make use of this blood pact ultimate fight to attack Connected Beast Park. If Sky City truly wants to attack Connected Beast Park, they can issue a blood pact ultimate fight challenge to Connected Beast Park directly.”
When Qi Haitao finished speaking, he bowed to Qi Heng and purposely evaded Qi Wangyang’s gaze.
Qi Wangyang’s expression hardened as Qi Haitao had essentially stomped all over Qi Wangyang’s method.
Previously, he had been focused on the animosity between Sky City and Connected Beast Park and had not been willing to give up Sea Bliss Clan’s resources.
Qi Wangyang felt that Qi Haitao was basically selling the family away. If the City Lord of Sky City was allowed to make any request, there was no way he would leave room for the Sea Bliss Clan to breathe.
Unlike Qi Wangyang’s grim expression, Qi Heng smiled in relief and said, “Haitao and I shall handle this matter. Leader, Haitao has grown up. If the Sea Bliss Clan makes it out of this crisis, you should discuss more matters with him in the future. He is clear-headed. If you had discussed with him from the beginning, our Sea Bliss Clan wouldn’t have fallen this deep.”
No one dared to speak after Qi Heng, and a harsh silence fell over the room.
…
As silent as the room was, the people inside were all brimming with emotions that they dared not express.
The next day, Lin Yuan awoke from a deep sleep and found that he was feeling completely different than before.
When humans sleep, their bodies start to recover. Hence, they feel lazy when they have just awoken.
But now, Lin Yuan’s bodily functions had reached peak capabilities.
He was fairly certain that it was linked to his transformation after consuming the Earth Center Fine Milk.
Lin Yuan took a shower and changed into a set of spirit qi clothes.
When he looked into the mirror, he realized that he could not tear his eyes away from the image of himself.

He was not narcissistic, nor did he have any interest in men. However, the person in the mirror had undeniably breathtaking looks.
A thought flashed through his head.
Did I wake myself up with my handsomeness?
3
Lin Yuan hastily shook his head to shake the ludicrous thought out of his head.
Cai Cha, who was coincidentally walking by Lin Yuan’s room and glanced at him in passing, could not help but gasp.
My Young Lord is so impressive! I wonder what kind of lady is worthy of him?
Given Lin Yuan’s talent and status, finding a fitting match in the Radiance Federation would be difficult.
To Cai Cha’s knowledge, the Space Elder’s granddaughter was suitable.
2
However, her talent and power were far below that of Lin Yuan.
Tian Feng’s younger sister was the second Radiance Envoy and had enough talent and power. But, she was much older than Lin Yuan.
As such, it seemed that only the granddaughter of that member of royalty would be able to match up to Lin Yuan in terms of status and talent.
By now, Lin Yuan had spotted Cai Cha, and he quickly greeted her.
He had no idea what was going through her head. But if he did, he would definitely have sighed ruefully.
As someone who had crossed through space and time, he did not care for status and talent.
Lin Yuan was confused when he saw Cai Cha carrying a tray of breakfast food. Normally, he should be dining with his Master in the inner palace.
He found out from Cai Cha that the Moon Empress and Mystic Moon had locked themselves away to train since last night.
After eating breakfast, Lin Yuan did not rush to return to the mansion.
Instead, he strolled down Leaning Moon Mountain against the backdrop of the early morning sun until he arrived at the Royal Capital’s Noisy City.
Lin Yuan smiled as he looked around at the rolling mountains and rivers and sea of people around him.
There was something about the brilliance of dawn that made him want to protect its beauty.
At this moment, Lin Yuan spotted a stall selling cornmeal steamed buns nearby, and he immediately recalled the way Chu Ci would always insist on eating cornmeal steamed buns when she was young.
He walked up to the stall to buy some to reminisce about the flavor.
Lin Yuan was in such a rush that he did not notice that a group had gathered behind him and stole glances at him.
After Lin Yuan bought the cornmeal steamed buns, he placed one in his mouth. But, it was hard to swallow.
Nonetheless, he slowly chewed until he swallowed all of it because the memories stored within this experience far outweighed the taste.
Just as Lin Yuan was preparing to return to the mansion, his phone started to ring.
He saw that the call was coming from Zong Ze, so he picked it up.
Lin Yuan had asked Zong Ze for help to see if he could retrieve the Wind Crystal Precious Bottle from the Whale Ocean Commerce’s Ten Thousand Source Hall.
At that time, Zong Ze had agreed happily. But, Zong Ze had not contacted Lin Yuan since then.
Lin Yuan assumed that Zong Ze was contacting him now regarding the Wind Crystal Precious Bottle.
But when Lin Yuan picked up the call, Zong Ze said in an embarrassed tone, “Lin Yuan, do you still have any of the fire-type Heavenly Maiden Sleet pearls?”
Lin Yuan was stunned.
He did have one fire-type Heavenly Maiden Sleet pearl, but Hu Quan had used it to create the chain of pearls.
Hu Quan had unleashed his talent as a Spirit Craftsman while crafting the chain of pearls and creating a bona fide work of art.
But since Zong Ze sounded anxious, Lin Yuan spoke honestly.
