Chapter 789: The Young Man that Caused Heartache The Grotto Continent, where Bei Xu lived, was very far from the Radiance Federation. It was a remote and desolate continent. If Lin Yuan did not use the Ethereal Jellyfish’s tentacles, Lin Yuan couldn’t reach the Grotto Continent. But the Azure Federation was different. Although the Azure Federation was also far from the Radiance Federation, the Radiance Azure Waterway connected them. A mature Island Whale took three months to make a return trip along the Radiance Azure Waterway, Using a strategic-class resource like the Island Whale, there was occasional transportation of resources between the Radiance Federation and Azure Federation. Lin Yuan tapped the armrest of the golden throne, and the imprint of the lion on his wrist that signified his authority in the Astronomical Parliament radiated with a powerful aura. When he saw both Yin Lin and Bei Xu looking at him, Lin Yuan said, “If you’ve made a decision about what I told you to go back and think about, place your hand on the seat in front of you and inject your willpower into it.” Wen Yu could only sustain the Astronomical Parliament for half an hour. Thus, Lin Yuan did not say much else to Yin Lin and Bei Xu. If Yin Lin and Bei Xu both chose to form contracts with the north-south constellation seats, they would officially become members of the Astronomical Parliament. He would have plenty of time to talk to them after they became members. Although trust was important between people, a binding contract was always safer. Lin Yuan needed to pay the price of laws and willpower to help Yin Lin and Bei Xu through the Star Spirit Seat. If Lin Yuan could not be certain of Yin Lin and Bei Xu’s loyalty, he would be a fool to invest a large number of resources. Neither Yin Lin nor Bei Xu hesitated as they had both made their decision early on in the seven-day window. Yin Lin and Bei Xu placed their hands on the Andromeda seat and Perseus seat, respectively. As they injected their willpowers in, two clouds in the sky in the Astronomical Parliament lit up. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 One of the clouds formed a crown carrying Andromeda while the other formed a sword brandishing Perseus. These two clouds were not as radiant as the Leo throne or Libra throne, and they glowed silver instead of gold. However, the two clouds still made the sky in the Astronomical Parliament more beautiful. The Andromeda and Perseus clouds moved above Yin Lin and Bei Xu, respectively. A simple image of their constellation appeared on Yin Lin’s neck and Bei Xu’s hand. When the images of the constellations appeared, Bei Xu and Yin Lin were delighted. They felt the magical properties that came with the image. It was as though the images could communicate with the respective north-south constellation seats and act as a siren that called the contractors to the Astronomical Parliament. Wen Yu looked at Yin Lin and Bei Xu and said, “Next time, I’ll call you to the Astronomical Parliament through the images on your bodies. When you feel that mark grow hot, go to a place where you won’t be disturbed and combine your willpower and soul with the constellation image. This way, you’ll be able to come to the Astronomical Parliament without sleeping and dreaming to be called by the constellations.” Bei Xu and Yin Lin touched their constellation images and felt a sense of calm settle over their hearts. It was too difficult for them to have to be asleep every time they entered the Astronomical Parliament. After all, anxiousness could lead to insomnia. Even if they did not have any problems falling asleep, there were other external factors to consider. There were even anatomical limitations such as having to wake up to pee which could cause one to miss the chance to enter the Astronomical Parliament. It would be too much of a headache. When Yin Lin and Bei Xu formed contracts with the Andromeda seat and Perseus seat, they had essentially sworn on their Willpower Runes. Lin Yuan coughed lightly and stood up from the Leo throne. He first asked Bei Xu, “Since you’ve formed the contract, why don’t you tell me what you want?” Bei Xu bowed to Lin Yuan and replied, “Brother Celestial, I want a fey to form a contract with.” At that moment, it was as though a thought suddenly struck him as he said with slight embarrassment, “Can I make an additional request?” Lin Yuan was astonished by the way Bei Xu addressed him. Is Bei Xu an idiot? Who calls someone Brother Celestial? Is he going to call Wen Yu Sister Celestial too? Lin Yuan hastily replied, “Since you’re a member of the Astronomical Parliament, you can call me by my code name. In the Astronomical Parliament, I’ll also call you Perseus.” While Lin Yuan was speaking, he noticed the hopeful look of yearning in Bei Xu’s eyes. Lin Yuan frowned slightly and wondered what request Bei Xu wanted to make. Lin Yuan felt that the Sharp Shadow Bat that he had prepared for Bei Xu would be extremely suitable to Bei Xu’s life in the Grotto Continent. However, every spirit qi professional had the right to have specifications about the fey that they formed a contract with. Hence, Lin Yuan respectfully agreed to Bei Xu’s wishes. “If you have a request, just tell me.” Bei Xu said with a hint of hopefulness, “I want to contract a fey that can fight.” Bei Xu automatically added, “As long as it’s not one as lousy as the Rock Hermit Insect!” Lin Yuan was shocked when he heard Bei Xu’s request. What kind of request was this? Lin Yuan sensed the way that Bei Xu had lived for the past week through Bei Xu’s willpower. Each and every day had been a struggle with Death itself. No one in the Radiance Federation was willing to contract the Rock Hermit Insect that Bei Xu had mentioned. Bei Xu had made such a request because he was going to offer his everything. Yet, he was so hopeful when he was making such a less than basic request. Evidently, his life had been torturous. Lin Yuan’s heart ached for Bei Xu due to his similar yearning for survival that Lin Yuan had when he was taking care of Chu Ci. On top of it, Bei Xu’s life was hundreds of times more terrible than Lin Yuan’s had been. “Of course, I can fulfill your request. You can actually have higher expectations for the feys you want to contract from now on.”
