Chapter 2977  Lifespan Mice That Were Dispatched!

UƤdɑted by BʘXNʘVEL.CƟM

Winter never intended to kill Huang An. All of his actions were only intended to intimidate Huang An. After all, Lin Yuan had never given him any orders to deal with Huang An.

Winter attacked and injured Huang An because he knew very well that a fellow like Huang An would only submit if he injured him and made him truly feel the threat of death.

Compared to Lin Yuan taking the initiative to invite Huang An into Sky City, it was better for him to use these unconventional methods to force Huang An to submit. Otherwise, even if he intimidated Huang An now, he would definitely put on airs again when Lin Yuan invited him.

“Whether or not to spare your life depends on our Young Master’s decision. Our Young Master will meet other Creators later. Seeing you was just a spur-of-the-moment idea.”

Huang An dragged his frozen half-body and crawled to Lin Yuan. He crawled to the ground and told Lin Yuan in a sorry state, “Young, Young Master, my Creator ability has reached high Grade 4. I also have some spirit fluid secret recipes I obtained with great difficulty. The spirit fluid I concoct for you will definitely be of great value. S-Sorry for offending you just now. Even if you don’t help me increase my lifespan, I’m willing to work for you!”

Lin Yuan looked at the pathetic Huang An and snorted.

At present, Huang An seemed to understand the situation well, although his behavior just now was despicable.

Lin Yuan knew very well that he should not forgive a fellow like Huang An so easily. The more difficult it was to obtain his forgiveness, the more obedient he would be in the future.

“A high Grade 4 Creator isn’t all that impressive. Over time, most high Grade 4 Creators will accumulate some hidden potion formulas. However, that doesn’t prove your worth.

“You’re so rude to me and don’t have much lifespan left. Why should I forgive you? I need you to give me a reason. Otherwise, you’ll die here today. When City Lord Li asks me later, I’ll say you left through the window. I believe City Lord Li is so smart that he won’t ask too much.”

Lin Yuan’s words made Huang An’s body tremble slightly. Huang An’s main purpose in coming to see Lin Yuan was to see if Lin Yuan could help him increase his lifespan by a few years.

Huang An’s arrogance was a trait he had become accustomed to, but he never expected it to lead to such serious consequences.

Lin Yuan did not care about the life and death of a high Grade 4 Creator. Hence, Huang An came to a conclusion: Creators were nothing to Lin Yuan.

Compared to dying here, Huang An would accept any means of survival.

“Lord, even if I only have 100 years of lifespan left, I can concoct numerous potions for you in the hundred years and create enough value for you. I hope you can let me follow you and atone for my rudeness today!”

Since Huang An had put it this way, Lin Yuan spoke directly. “In that case, use your holy spirit to pledge allegiance to me. Do you know that your words just now successfully saved your life and gave me a reason to let you live?!”

The corners of Huang An’s mouth twitched. To pledge loyalty to Lin Yuan, Huang An had to swear with the holy spirit that everything he did in the future would be under Lin Yuan’s control.

No one wanted to be controlled by others, especially a noble Creator like Huang An. However, when circumstances outweighed his capabilities, refusal would only lead to death. Huang An had no choice but to summon his holy spirit and let Lin Yuan control it through the divine kingdom.

Ever since Huang An had entered this room for less than an hour, he had become Lin Yuan’s servant. Huang An, whose holy spirit was under Lin Yuan’s control, still did not dare to get up from the ground. He could only crawl there and wait for Lin Yuan’s instructions.

Although Huang An was an inherently arrogant and conceited individual, apart from concocting Creator resources, he was useless.

However, apart from the Moon Empress, Huang An was the only second Creator in Sky City.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and the Jasmine Lily appeared in his palm. When the Jasmine Lily evolved to Suzerain/Myth III, it could take human form. However, compared to taking human form, Lin Yuan’s Jasmine Lily preferred to stay in the Spirit Lock spatial zone in its original form and absorb the spirit qi in it. It did not spend any effort elsewhere.

The Jasmine Lily emitted a few green lights and landed on Huang An’s body, healing the frostbite on his body. While Lin Yuan was healing, Winter removed the cold air he had injected into Huang An’s body.

If Winter didn’t whisk away the chill from Huang An’s body, the Jasmine Lily’s efforts to heal his injuries would be in vain, no matter how fervently it tried.

Following Huang An’s healing, Lin Yuan took two steps forward and lifted him up, saying, “For your sins, you deserve death a thousandfold. Yet, by choosing to align with me and faithfully pledging your loyalty, I shall extend your lifespan.”

Lin Yuan took out a Lifespan Mouse that had been specially nurtured in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and handed it to Huang An.

There was no need for Lin Yuan to introduce it. The moment Huang An saw the Lifespan Mouse, he clearly understood its abilities.

Huang An’s body trembled again.

Previously, Huang An had trembled in fear when facing Lin Yuan. Now, he was trembling because he had seen the Lifespan Mouse’s ability and knew that once he contracted it, he would obtain an endless lifespan. As long as there were no accidents, he could continue living.

In the eyes of the Creator, every resource had a clear value. This Lifespan Mouse was a priceless treasure in Huang An’s eyes. Not to mention a Grade 4 Creator like him, even a Grade 5 Creator would go crazy when they saw this Lifespan Mouse.

As the era changed, countless giants had perished in the torrent of time. If these giants had had a Lifespan Mouse, they would have been able to survive until now.

Huang An asked Lin Yuan uncertainly, “Lord, are you going to bestow this fey to me?!”

When Huang An asked this question, he was somewhat uncertain. Huang An felt that he was unworthy of such resources. This Lifespan Mouse was even more valuable than a Grade 4 Creator like him.

Lin Yuan placed the Lifespan Mouse in Huang An’s hand. The Lifespan Mouse ran around Huang An’s palm and curiously sniffed the aura on his palm.

“Of course. If I didn’t want to give it to you, why would I take it out before you? You can contract it. However, this little fellow is unable to increase its grade and quality. Once it dies, you will also die. I’m sure you are already aware of this. For your safety, this mouse will remain with me for care and supervision after you’ve contracted it.”

Upon hearing that Lin Yuan wanted to give him the Lifespan Mouse, Huang An was overjoyed and did not pay much attention to the fact that Lin Yuan wanted to control the Lifespan Mouse for him.

Lin Yuan had already taken control of Huang An’s holy spirit and could determine Huang An’s life and death. Under such circumstances, it did not matter to Huang An if Lin Yuan used another method to control him.

At that moment, Huang An felt like he had profited from a disaster. If he had known that Lin Yuan had a way for him to obtain an endless lifespan, he would definitely have tried his best to join Lin Yuan.

Huang An had experienced the feeling of nearing the end of his lifespan. Now, as he faced the imminent replenishment of his lifespan, he could finally relax.

In the future, Huang An would no longer have to worry about his lifespan.

As a witness of epochs, Huang An could now focus on enhancing his abilities as a Creator in his endless lifespan. Even if he was limited by his talent, there was always a possibility of evolution after constant training. Now, being a Grade 5 Creator was no longer Huang An’s goal. Huang An believed that he could become a Grade 6 Creator.

“Lord, please take care of the Lifespan Mouse for me in the future. If there’s anything you want me to do, just tell me. I’ll do my best to fulfill your request!”

Despite his arrogance, now that Huang An had become Lin Yuan’s subordinate, he was well aware of what he needed to do.

When Huang An was young, he had once been a servant under a Grade 3 Creator. It was because Huang An was very tactful and diligent that he was taken in as a disciple by the Grade 3 Creator. Due to this, he had the chance to learn the abilities of a Creator.

Huang An had served his master for more than 2,000 years, but in the end, his master still failed to become a Grade 4 Creator and died because his lifespan was exhausted.

Not only was Huang An stronger than his master in terms of Creator talent, but he was also luckier than his master to be able to contract a sacred item like the Lifespan Mouse when his lifespan was less than 100 years old.

Lin Yuan was satisfied with Huang An’s current attitude. Huang An had already formed a contract with the Lifespan Mouse, so Lin Yuan told Huang An after taking it away, “There’s nothing for you to do now. Just follow me. When you return, someone will make arrangements for you and tell you what resources to concoct.”

Lin Yuan’s words hinted to Huang An that a significant faction was supporting him. The mere fact that this faction could offer the Lifespan Mouse as a reward to someone like Huang An, who had recently emerged, indicated the strength of their foundation.

As a Creator, Huang An had always wanted to rely on a large faction. With a large faction backing him, he would no longer have to worry about obtaining resources.

As an unspecialized Creator, Huang An had spent a lot of effort searching for resources, especially when he wanted to try some experiments. However, if Creators wanted to continuously improve their abilities, they had to study more and try to break through. He would not have to worry if he joined a huge faction.

…

Li Feng had always been concerned about the interaction between Lin Yuan and Huang An. While it was primarily their affair if Huang An provoked Lin Yuan due to his arrogance, Li Feng was the one who had introduced Huang An to Lin Yuan.

Li Feng feared Lin Yuan might develop negative opinions and thoughts about him.

Observing Lin Yuan and Huang An, Li Feng noticed Huang An closely trailing behind Lin Yuan, resembling Lin Yuan’s sidekick.

This sight surprised Li Feng immensely, sparking curiosity about what had transpired between Lin Yuan and Huang An to prompt such a significant change.

Huang An’s attitude toward Li Feng was exceedingly complex. Initially, Huang An had almost felt as though Li Feng had led him into a trap. However, considering the outcome, it was Li Feng who had aided him in seizing this opportunity.

Even if Huang An harbored grievances against Li Feng, he couldn’t exhibit them as one of Lin Yuan’s subordinates. Huang An believed doing so would imply dissatisfaction with being under Lin Yuan’s command.

Taking the initiative, Huang An greeted Li Feng and warmly patted his shoulder, seemingly expressing gratitude to Li Feng for introducing him to Lin Yuan.

Li Feng felt relieved. It was fortunate that Huang An hadn’t clashed with Lin Yuan. Not only had Li Feng assisted Lin Yuan, but he had also won Huang An’s favor.

“It seems that you and Young Master Lin have had a good conversation. I didn’t establish this connection between you two for nothing!

“Young Master Lin, when you came, you said you were preparing to go to the Fortune Treasure Palace. Why don’t you inform me? I’ll help you prepare the carriage!”

Lin Yuan declined Li Feng’s good intentions. “City Lord Li, I’m about to leave for Fortune Treasure Palace. I’m here to bid you farewell. After I leave Fortune Treasure Palace, I probably won’t come to your City Lord Manor again. This is a Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower ramet. If anything happens in the future, you can contact me through it.”

Upon hearing that Lin Yuan was about to leave, Li Feng felt rather regretful, but he did not continue to persuade Lin Yuan to stay.

A person with Lin Yuan’s background would definitely have something to do. It would be too much to force Lin Yuan to stay.

The Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower was a communication fey unique to Fortune Treasure Palace. Although there were occasionally Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flowers in the outside world, they still carried a powerful Fortune Treasure Palace aura.

Lin Yuan’s Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower had most likely been traded from Fortune Treasure Palace. This meant that Lin Yuan had a deep relationship with Fortune Treasure Palace.

However, Li Feng did not care about this. It did not matter which faction Lin Yuan was close to. It was fine as long as Lin Yuan was a sponsor of Treasure City. Now that Lin Yuan had given him that ramet, it would be easier for him to communicate with him in the future.

“Young Master Lin, if I help you contact a Creator in the future, I’ll tell you through this Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower ramet.”

After saying that, Li Feng turned to ask, “Your Grace Huang An, you previously said that you wanted to go to the treasure vault of the City Lord Manor to see if there are any spiritual ingredients you need. Why don’t I arrange it for you now?”

Huang An shook his head. “There’s no need to trouble you. I’ll leave with Young Master Lin!”
