When Lin Yuan heard Chimey’s voice, he slapped his head as he remembered Genius saying that Chimey was going to live-stream on Star Web that night.
Liu Jie’s phone rang.
When he picked up, stern surprise came over him. He listened to the voice on the phone talk for a few more moments before saying, “Got it, Master! I’ll go over now!”
After he hung up the call, Liu Jie stood up and said apologetically to the group, “Something came up that I need to attend to now. What do you want to eat tomorrow? I’ll buy groceries on the way home.”
Liu Jie calling the person on the other end of the call ‘Master’ slightly stunned most of the people present.
Besides Lin Yuan, the Mother of Bloodbath, Endless Summer, and Wen Yu, the rest had never heard Liu Jie mention his Master.
They could not help but be curious about Liu Jie’s Master.
Liu Jie always asked the rest what they wanted to eat before he left the mansion so that he would be able to get the necessary ingredients on the way home.
The glutton Mother of Bloodbath immediately said, “Are you only coming back tomorrow?”
Liu Jie seemed to remember something dangerous as sternness was written all over his face. But a moment later, he plastered on a neutral expression and said after a moment of silence, “I don’t think I’ll be able to make it back by tomorrow morning. However, I’ll do whatever it takes to rush back by the afternoon.”
The Mother of Bloodbath stared at Liu Jie suspiciously for a second before saying, “How about we have grilled seafood for dinner tomorrow?”
It felt that Liu Jie seemed to be preoccupied with something or that he was at some sort of crossroads.
However, the Mother of Bloodbath knew about Liu Jie’s identity and who his Master was. Since the matter concerned the Chief Guard, the Mother of Bloodbath did not pursue the matter past leaving a look of worry lingering on its face.
Liu Jie’s expression had returned to normal. He smiled, nodded, and said, “Okay. It’s not as cold anymore. I’ll prepare the ingredients, and we can have grilled seafood tomorrow night.”
Since Liu Jie was busy and it was late, the card match came to an end.
Lin Yuan followed Liu Jie to the door and asked, “Big Brother Liu, are you going to do something dangerous with your Master?”
Lin Yuan had noticed the solemn look cross Liu Jie’s face.
Liu Jie was always a composed person, so the matter had to be serious for such a grim expression to surface on his face.
Liu Jie replied honestly, “Master traded for insect-species carcinoma feys from Rhine Guild Club on her way to inspect the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift. I’m going to order the Insect Queen to control the insect-species carcinoma fey tonight. This insect-species carcinoma fey can make any other insect-species carcinoma fey stronger and link itself to them. If the Insect Queen can control this insect-species carcinoma fey, my power will double.”
Lin Yuan immediately realized how important this insect-species carcinoma fey was to Liu Jie.
“However, this insect-species carcinoma fey can do extreme damage to souls. When the Insect Queen is using psychotoxin to control the insect-species carcinoma fey, it will be affected by the insect-species carcinoma fey’s damage. In order to prevent the Insect Queen’s soul from being injured which will impact its control over the insect-species carcinoma fey, I need to let the insect-species carcinoma fey attack my soul,” said Liu Jie.
Lin Yuan could not help but reply, “Matters regarding the soul are very important. No matter what grade the carcinoma fey is at, it’ll definitely be able to do significant damage. If you can’t handle it, just give up.”
Liu Jie said with a bitter expression, “Rhine Clinic only has one of this insect-species carcinoma fey. It has never even been collected in the Spirit Guards’ land. If the Insect Queen abruptly stops exerting its control, the insect-species carcinoma fey will die, and I’ll lose this rare opportunity. Hence, I’ll really be put through the wringer tonight.”
A thought seemed to strike Lin Yuan, and he took a small container and white porcelain bowl out of the amber-button-shaped Diamond fey storage box.
He opened the container and poured the sweet-smelling fluid into the bowl before saying to Liu Jie, “This is Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar. It can cleanse the impurities in a soul as well as protect it. You’ll definitely have a hard time, and it’ll probably hurt more than the insect-species carcinoma fey’s attack. However, it’ll grant you twice the benefits.”
Lin Yuan could not help but think back to his agony when he drank the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar.
He would never be willing to go through this anguish a second time.
But now, Liu Jie was going to bet his soul in order to achieve a transformation. At such a moment, the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar would be his best helper.
Liu Jie took the white porcelain bowl from Lin Yuan and nodded grimly before walking out of the Return from Faraway Mansion.
When Liu Jie had seen Lin Yuan fight during the Martial Arts Stage’s Martial component, he was surprised by Lin Yuan’s rapid improvement and how strong he was.
Liu Jie was happy for Lin Yuan, but it also made him squash his blooming self-satisfaction because he knew that he was still far from standing on equal ground as Lin Yuan.
But if he could successfully use the Insect Queen to control that insect-species carcinoma fey tonight, he was confident that he would be able to fight toe to toe with Zong Ze and his sacred source lifeform even without using his own sacred source lifeform.
After Liu Jie left, Lin Yuan walked back into the mansion.
He prepared to summon Chimey from the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Since Chimey was going to change into human form to live stream, it could not sit on the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree’s branches because Lin Yuan did not want the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree to be revealed on Star Web.
No matter what his status was or how powerful he became, Lin Yuan would never forget his principle of not flaunting his wealth.
