Chapter 1604: Don’t Be Picky! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios It was always daytime in the marsh world, and the sky never darkened. Actually, this was not fully accurate. According to Lin Yuan’s observation, the marsh world did have night and day. During the day, the sky was light green. But at night, it became faintly purple, and both the moon and sun hung in the sky side by side, with the moon slightly brighter. None of the lifeforms in the marsh world could sense a difference. By now, the Moon Empress’ body had disappeared. In her place was the energy from the moon. The Sacred Cry Moon Beast had turned into a moon and gathered the moon energy from the marsh world to camouflage itself so that it could stay in the marsh world to protect Lin Yuan. The light green moon seemed brighter than usual. The moonbeams that fell tangled together and formed a staff in the Moon Empress’ hand. The staff used to only have one white and one red stone. But now, there was another light green one as well. The light green stone was evidence that Forage Moon had gained another moon puppet. At that moment, the Moon Empress opened her eyes and said with a smile, “Little Yuan, thank you for bringing me this opportunity!” Lin Yuan hastily replied, “Master, you don’t have to thank me. You saved my life countless times! I should be the one thanking you!” The Moon Empress did not thank others easily and had only uttered the words a few times in her life. She said it to Lin Yuan because he had truly given her major opportunities. He enabled her to have an endless lifespan, pure spirit qi that she used to cross that step and gain a third moon puppet. The Moon Empress felt that she would not have been able to achieve these three things on her own. But Lin Yuan was right as well. It seemed overly polite for her to thank her disciple. Lin Yuan went on to say, “Master, I can now produce even purer spirit qi. Additionally, I can produce even purer elemental energy than that within heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. I’ve already harvested more than 1,000 Spirit-Mouthed Peonies. You can take them now.” Lin Yuan handed a Diamond fey storage box to the Moon Empress. When the Moon Empress received the Diamond fey storage box, she felt as though Lin Yuan had become her Master instead. Where did he go to obtain such treasures? By being able to produce elemental energy even purer than what was within heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, he could already be considered a Class 6 Creation Master. The Moon Empress did not stand on ceremony because she could do many things with the pure spirit qi. Mystic Moon had also reached that step. With pure spirit qi, Cold Moon would also have the ability to take that step. The Moon Empress had learned about Chu Ci’s talent from Cold Moon. She had been shocked by what Cold Moon told her. Despite not having even reached 16 years old, she was already a B-rank spirit qi professional. Although the rate at which one’s spirit qi professional rank was raised could not be a measure of strength because their power could be limited by their inability to provide their fey with resources, this was not the case for Chu Ci. Chu Ci had an endless supply of resources. As long as her spirit qi professional rank continued to rise, her feys would also become stronger. Cold Moon had helped Chu Ci to roll grades. As such, Chu Ci was now on par with most members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence. In another year, she would be able to study at the Royal Capital Advanced Spirit Qi University and take part in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. Chu Ci was supposed to participate in this year’s Radiance Hundred Sequence selection along with Lin Yuan. However, Cold Moon had opposed the idea because she did not want Chu Ci to become involved in the conflict between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation at such a young age. Cold Moon was already worried enough that Lin Yuan was involved in it. She could not bear to allow Chu Ci to join the fray as well. Moreover, she felt that she would not be able to answer Lin Yuan if she allowed Chu Ci to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. Cold Moon estimated that even at the slowest rate, Chu Ci would become an A-rank spirit qi professional within five years. At that time, Chu Ci would be able to possess a Myth Breed fey. Cold Moon had never gauged Chu Ci before. But now, she felt that Chu Ci might have the ability to join the Radiance Envoy selection two years later. Or, at the very least, she would become a Radiance Knight. But eventually, Cold Moon decided not to allow Chu Ci to participate two years later. Chu Ci would turn 26 years old ten years later, and it would not be too late to become a Radiance Envoy then. Becoming a Radiance Envoy directly rather than a Radiance Knight was much better. Cold Moon could dedicate her whole life to the Moon Empress and the Radiance Federation. When it came to Chu Ci, all she hoped was that Chu Ci would be able to lead a carefree life. The Moon Empress received Lin Yuan’s Diamond fey storage box and said, “Lin Yuan, let’s go back. By this time, Cold Moon and Little Ci should have arrived back at the Radiant Moon Palace.” Lin Yuan took out the Jeweled Cave Golden Toad and stored the Moon Empress within before he returned to the Spirit Lock spatial zone through Klein Hub. He jumped out of the Spirit Lock spatial zone and back into the breeding room before releasing the Moon Empress. The Moon Empress became more curious about Lin Yuan’s method when she found herself back in the Radiant Moon Palace in an instant. Nonetheless, she was not going to ask Lin Yuan about it. Rather, she would help him to keep his secret. When he pushed open the door of the breeding room, he saw Chu Ci standing there. She had clearly been waiting for him. The instant that she spotted Lin Yuan, Chu Ci smiled innocently and spread her arms. Lin Yuan took a step forward and hugged her. He picked her up and spun around. This was when he realized that Chu Ci had grown taller. Previously, she had only reached his shoulder. But now, she was up to the height of his face. Additionally, she seemed lighter. Lin Yuan frowned and asked, “Chi Ci, have you picked up your bad habit of being picky again? I’ve always told you to eat whatever you’re given and not to be picky!”
