1808 Difficult to Like! The Moon Empress finally understood why the Goddess of Mercy had become hysterical a decade ago. She coldly scoffed to herself. Hehe! Goddess of Mercy, I have you in the palm of my hand now! Currently, Lin Yuan could only make an educated guess that the Goddess of Mercy had acted in such a way because of the mermaid bloodline. However, the Goddess of Mercy had also gone into a frenzy ten years ago because of the mermaid bloodline. The Radiance Federation did not have much information about young experts such as Lu Ou, Han Qi, Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian, who rarely showed their faces. Every federation tried to keep information about their young experts secret because they saw their young experts as their future. However, Qian Yu was different because he was a Freedom Envoy. The Radiance Federation had more information about the five Freedom Envoys. After all, they would have to fight against the Freedom Envoys during the Major Federation Meeting. There was no harm in learning about their enemy. The Radiance Federation was not the only one who had information about the Freedom Envoys. It was vice versa. This was why Qian Yu could immediately tell what kind of feys and sacred source lifeform Liu Yifan had when he saw him. According to the information they had about Qian Yu, the Goddess of Mercy was supposed to adore Qian Yu. This was why the Goddess of Mercy had stepped in and saved Qian Yu in a fight among the Freedom Federation’s families. This did not fit with how the Goddess of Mercy had been so casual about Qian Yu’s death. There had to be a reason for a person to react so drastically different to the same matter. By changing into a mermaid during the battle against Qian Yu, Lin Yuan had revealed his bloodline. The Goddess of Mercy had changed her target to Lin Yuan because she realized that Lin Yuan’s mermaid bloodline was superior to Qian Yu’s mermaid bloodline. This train of thought explained everything. The Moon Empress asked Lin Yuan, “Little Yuan, what do you think of the Goddess of Mercy?” Lin Yuan was slightly stunned. He and the Goddess of Mercy were strangers. What kind of thoughts could he have about her? Moreover, the Goddess of Mercy was trying to win his favor for some reason. Although the Goddess of Mercy had given Lin Yuan a large amount of water-type spiritual ingredients with the mermaid bloodline, the Beast Spirit’s Soul, and the pollen of the Soul-Bewildering Daisy, which would enable Lin Yuan to take control of the Disaster World Faceless Beast, he still felt as though he was being targeted. But since the question had come from the Moon Empress, Lin Yuan said after a moment of silence, “The Goddess of Mercy is purely self-serving and only cares about her own profits. Faith, willpower, feelings, and riches don’t matter as much to her.” The Moon Empress’ expression faltered slightly. She thought that Lin Yuan would reply with an analysis of the Goddess of Mercy based on his experience with her. However, Lin Yuan immediately and accurately saw through the Goddess of Mercy. He rationally understood her crux. This immediately made the Moon Empress aware that she did not need to say too much to Lin Yuan. He understood some of these things on his own. However, the Moon Empress still could not rest easy and asked Lin Yuan, “Little Yuan, do you think you’ll like the Goddess of Mercy?” Lin Yuan was dazed for a few seconds. He had never pondered whether he would ever develop feelings for someone because he saw all relationships as slow processes that needed time to take their own course. It was difficult to define it as ‘liking’. Love, friendship, kinship, and anything related to desire could be defined as ‘liking’. However, after learning about the way that the Goddess of Mercy approached certain matters, Lin Yuan only wanted to stay away from her. If she maintained such an attitude in their future interactions, Lin Yuan could not see his impression of her changing. Even if he did not loathe her, it was a fact that her attitude toward him was a result of her ulterior motives. Thus, it would be very difficult for him to develop feelings for her. Lin Yuan did not sound insistent but said honestly, “It will be very difficult.” When the Moon Empress heard what Lin Yuan said, her brows relaxed. The mermaid bloodline used their bloodline to command their clan. The mermaids with superior bloodlines held higher ranks in the mermaid clan. All mermaids desired to find a mate of a superior bloodline. When a superior mermaid had affections for an inferior mermaid, it was possible for the inferior mermaid’s bloodline to evolve. It was highly likely that the Goddess of Mercy was after this goal. If it was difficult for Lin Yuan to like the Goddess of Mercy, love was undoubtedly out of the question. The Moon Empress felt that it would have been better for the Goddess of Mercy to have saved Qian Yu and nurtured him. You don’t deserve my disciple’s love! Oh, Goddess of Mercy, you went through all that effort for nothing! The Moon Empress had initially intended to give Lin Yuan’s spoils to him tomorrow. But since he was here tonight, she took out a special silver ring. Perched on it was a ball of wire made of many different metal-type spiritual ingredients. There were spatial runes inscribed all over the ball. The wires also seemed to be wrapped around a silver crystal. The ball was embedded in a shell. There were a few blue and gold gems embedded in the ring. Lin Yuan immediately recognized the blue and gold gems to be the Space-Stabilizing Blue Diamond that only occasionally appeared in Class 5 subterranean dimensional rifts. Normally, the Space-Stabilizing Blue Diamonds were only around one carat. The four Space-Stabilizing Blue Diamonds embedded in the ring were all 2.5 carats. One would have to comb through two subterranean dimensional rifts in order to find a two-carat Space-Stabilizing Blue Diamond. Thus, the 2.5-carat Space-Stabilizing Blue Diamonds were proof to Lin Yuan that this ring was impressive. The Moon Empress handed the ring to Lin Yuan and said, “The highest grade of fey storage box should be Diamond. Diamond fey storage boxes can fulfill most basic needs. However, as a spirit qi professional’s power grows, the number of riches they accumulate will also increase. Many experts that are emperor-class and above usually have empty storage equipment with them. This will make things very complicated. “The Spacetime Elder used the shells shed by the Spatial Mother Shellfish to create this ring. The pearl within the shell was formed from scraps of old pearls that had fallen off. The Spacetime Elder is a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman with a decent beauty standard. I placed everything you won inside this ring. Take a look and tell me what you think about the ring!” When Mystic Moon heard what the Moon Empress said, he was rendered speechless.
