2078 Holding Master’s Hand! The Moon Empress was silent, and her heart was heavy when she heard Lin Yuan say, “Master, I have another Lifespan Mouse that the elderly man can contract. Then, the elderly man will have more than just one or two years left.” Lin Yuan hesitated. He did not summon the female Lifespan Mouse but the baby it had just given birth to. The Lifespan Mouse mated for life. The Death Demon Concubine Beast had already contracted the male Lifespan Mouse. If the elderly man contracted the female Lifespan Mouse, the couple would be separated. The Lifespan Mouse was a mouse-species fey and did not have a strong bond with its young. The female Lifespan Mouse did not demonstrate any maternal instincts after it gave birth. Hence, it was unlikely that the couple would be affected by the loss of one of their children. While the Moon Empress was speaking with Lin Yuan, she saw him summon a small mouse with tangerine-red fur into his palm. The Moon Empress immediately recognized it as the Lifespan Mouse she had already formed a contract with. The Lifespan Mouse should not exist in this world, and its existence broke the world’s natural order. No lifeform in the natural world should be allowed to attain immortality. Although the elderly man had set his spirit fire alight, his lifespan would still eventually come to an end. The Moon Empress had carefully studied the Lifespan Mouse after she formed a contract with it and discovered that it could not reproduce through normal means. Hence, the Lifespan Mouse was a lifeform that had mutated by chance. The Moon Empress did not expect Lifespan Mouse to have another of the Lifespan Mouse and to be willing to give it up. Lin Yuan had given the first Lifespan Mouse to save the Moon Empress’ life but would be giving the second one up to save the Radiance Federation. By now, Lin Yuan had done as much for the Radiance Federation as any other member of royalty. Lin Yuan went on to say, “Master, take this Lifespan Mouse! You can give it to the elderly man so he can form a contract with it.” The Moon Empress immediately rose to her feet and took Lin Yuan’s hand as she said, “Little Yuan, go and change your clothes. I’ll take you to the imperial court. Although the Spacetime Elder has experienced backlash, he should be waking up from his coma soon. Little Yuan, this is your Lifespan Mouse. You should be the one to give it to him!” Lin Yuan instantly realized the meaning behind the Moon Empress’ words. She wanted the Spacetime Elder to owe Lin Yuan a favor. Lin Yuan was right. This was exactly what the Moon Empress was gunning for. Previously, the Moon Empress had given the Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen to the Bamboo Monarch on Lin Yuan’s behalf because Lin Yuan had not been strong enough. He had just made his debut at the Guard Ye Banquet and proved himself to be more talented than any other young expert of the Radiance Federation. It would not do him good to call too much attention to himself too quickly. However, Lin Yuan had proved himself during the battle with the Freedom Federation. Thus, he could now attract as much attention as he wanted. The favor that the elderly man would owe Lin Yuan would be a helpful safety net for him. Ever since she started walking heaven’s path, the Moon Empress realized that the world was not as simple as she thought. This was because the Moon Empress saw an endless path of evolution along the road. However, every stage of evolution on this path became increasingly difficult. Lin Yuan did not turn the Moon Empress down. However, he had no need for the elderly man to owe him a favor. This was because Lin Yuan had Begin Lady with him, who had also set its spirit fire alight. Moreover, Lin Yuan was not offering the Lifespan Mouse because he wanted some form of return. A reward could not match up to the temptation represented by an endless life. Lin Yuan offered the Lifespan Mouse because the Moon Empress was troubled by this matter and because he had boundless respect for Spacetime Elder. Otherwise, there was no way that Lin Yuan would give up a foundational resource like the Lifespan Mouse. Lin Yuan was currently wearing a white set of spirit qi clothes that Wen Yu had specially prepared for him when he went to train in the Divine Wood Federation. It fit fully with the styles in the Divine Wood Federation. It would not be appropriate to wear such clothes to the Radiance Federation’s imperial court. Lin Yuan had around 2,000 sets of clothes in his spatial equipment. They had not been designed by Wen Yu but given by the Moon Empress. Every single set of clothes was appropriate to be worn to the Radiance Federation’s imperial court. Lin Yuan had chosen a white set that was covered with many moon patterns. Faint blue moonstones were embedded all over the moon patterns. The accessories he wore were exquisite but not gaudy. They suited the youthful Lin Yuan well. After Lin Yuan had cleansed his body twice and consumed the Earth Center Fine Milk, his body and bone structure were in their best state and could be called the perfect mannequin. No matter what he wore, Lin Yuan’s aura could carry off the clothes. After Lin Yuan changed his clothes and returned to the inner palace of the Radiant Moon Palace, Lin Yuan noticed that the Moon Empress had also changed clothes. Coincidentally, the Moon Empress’ clothes also featured moon patterns. However, the moonstones embedded in the clothes were not faint blue but soft white. The two sets of spirit qi clothes with similar designs made Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress appear complementary. The Moon Empress and Lin Yuan were stunned when they saw the clothes that the other was wearing. The Moon Empress’ lips curled elegantly. “Little Yuan, take my hand. We’ll ride the Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage to the old man’s home.” The Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage was the Moon Empress’ fey carriage, and the Eternal Frost White Celestial Rising and Frost Green Celestial Rising pulled it. It was iconic of the Moon Empress. Lin Yuan had only ever seen the Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage but had never ridden in it! The Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage traveled deep into the Radiance Federation’s imperial court. If Lin Yuan had to describe what it was like to ride in the Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage with one word, he would say that it was wonderful! If he had to use two words, he would say it was really wonderful! If he had to use three words, it would be really, super wonderful! Lin Yuan never expected riding in a high-grade fey carriage to be so thrilling. ... This renewed his desire to build a fey carriage of his own. It was clear that the fey carriage he had rarely used could no longer meet his needs.
