2499 The Downhearted Golden Wings! Lin Yuan could not help but smile. These little fellows were so kind! He could sense how badly Genius and his other feys yearned to increase their powers. Chimey was especially anxious to hold its own fan meeting. Lin Yuan never forgot these. Lin Yuan intended to place Chimey in the Radiant Moon Palace for some time after he was done with what he needed to do in the subterranean world. At that time, Chimey would be able to personally attend to all the tasks that came with holding its fan meeting. Previously, Lin Yuan felt great urgency in enabling Genius to become a Class 5 Creation Master. Back then, Red Thorn had yet to take control of Di Wanmi, and Yi Huailu had yet to become a member of Sky City. But now, Sky City had two real Class 5 Creation Masters. Although it was still important that Genius become a Class 5 Creation Master, Lin Yuan no longer felt that same sense of urgency. Now that they were on the brink of a battle with Tower Canon, one Class 5 Creation Master could not solve anything. Lin Yuan intended to wait until the battle with Tower Canon had been handled and after he obtained a few more of the Continent Vein Cores before he addressed the issue of Genius becoming a Class 5 Creation Master. Genius was not only a fey that Lin Yuan had contracted but also his companion and a part of his family. After coming to this world and discovering that he was a regular person who was unable to absorb spirit qi, Lin Yuan had been completely lost and devoid of hope. Luckily, he was not the type to wallow and resort to extreme measures. Otherwise, he would have chosen a path of darkness. Chu Ci was Lin Yuan’s family. After their parents died, she became his responsibility. However, she could not save him. Given Lin Yuan’s condition then, he would not have tried to buy a housekeeping beast to shoulder some of his burdens if not for his extremely poor physique. Genius had been rejected by others due to its matted and spotted fur. When it met Lin Yuan, an abnormality that could not absorb spirit qi, they became each others’ saviors and source of comfort. At that time, Chimey was still a regular Sound Bird with little intelligence. Lin Yuan did not want Genius to be put at risk, even if it meant he would lose the chance to gain another Class 5 Creation Master. Thus, Lin Yuan had to ensure that Genius’ safety was guaranteed before it used Tail of Fate. Lin Yuan had told Genius and Chimey about the circumstances in detail, and both of them were very understanding. Nothing bad could come out of steady accumulation. Although Chimey was ready to reach Myth Breed at any time, having accumulated more power would only be to its benefit. After addressing Genius and Chimey, Lin Yuan fed the hardworking Wind Speed Rapid Antelope a few wind-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls before turning to the Golden Wings that he had not had much time to nurture. Even now, he still did not have enough resources to nurture Shiny. Lin Yuan had gained power at an exponential rate. Only half a year had passed since he last worked with Coiling Dragon’s Valley and Dark Clouds Bird Shrine. This was not enough time to gain a large amount of high-grade dragon liver and phoenix blood. He had combed through the Divine Wood Federation, Iron Hammer Federation, and Great Lush Federation’s treasure vaults. However, the dragon liver and phoenix blood were so hard to come by and difficult to preserve that there had not been much stock of them in the three treasure vaults. Lin Yuan had been unable to increase Shiny’s power for a long time. Additionally, it had feelings for Chimey that were not reciprocated. As a result, Shiny became downhearted and even slightly depressed. Lin Yuan tried to accompany Shiny in the Spirit Lock spatial zone whenever he had time, but its condition had not improved. Rather, it even seemed to worsen. Lin Yuan guessed that it would only be able to regain its confidence when he gathered sufficient dragon liver and phoenix blood and it was able to begin increasing its power. Lin Yuan was not against his feys finding love with each other, but it had to be reciprocal. If one party did not feel the same for the other, Lin Yuan would not hurt their happiness for the sake of the other fey. This was one of his principles. He took full responsibility for each and every fey that he contracted. As he sensed Shiny’s condition, Lin Yuan said, “Shiny, you will be able to increase your power in another month or two. If you’re bored before then, you can head into the marsh world to hunt or play with Wen Yu’s Wailing Snake.” Lin Yuan knew that feys with the Barren bloodline felt comfortable around each others’ auras. Even such feys that had never encountered each other in the past would enjoy each other’s company, and none of them would attack another. Lin Yuan and Wen Yu were close friends. The close relationship between contractors would definitely spread to their feys. The Wailing Snake and Shiny had hatched at around the same time, and they soon started playing together like children who were around the same age. Shiny flapped its wings and started to chirp softly after hearing what Lin Yuan said. There were many reasons for its recent dip in emotions. Chimey was definitely a contributing factor, but the main reason was that it had yet to increase its power. It had hatched before the Wailing Snake did, but the Wailing Snake had already reached pinnacle Myth Breed after Wen Yu fused with Mystic Moon’s dragon-species bloodline and became an A-rank spirit qi professional. Shiny was no different from a helpless playmate in front of the Wailing Snake, and this was a big blow to its confidence. As a fey with the Barren bloodline, Shiny was extremely proud of its bloodline. Other feys were able to soothe themselves quickly after being rejected. They might even convince themselves that the other party had no taste. This might make them seem arrogant, but such thinking was justified when it came to feys with the Barren bloodline. Shiny communicated spiritually with Lin Yuan to confirm everything it just heard. Lin Yuan immediately gave Shiny a definitive answer. According to the deadline that Lin Yuan and Long Tao had agreed on, Coiling Dragon’s Valley would deliver the goods soon! Once he obtained a large amount of dragon liver from Coiling Dragon’s Valley, he could immediately trade for phoenix blood from Dark Clouds Bird Shrine. Shiny could then make up for lost time and reach pinnacle Suzerain/pinnacle Myth II. After receiving a definitive answer from Lin Yuan, Shiny leaped into his arms and began cuddling up to him. Next, it dashed through Klein Hub into the marsh world and began playing with the Wailing Snake. It had to be known that Vine Source had been left behind to watch over the marsh world, and he always treated Shiny like a little king each time it visited the marsh world.
