Chapter 992: Every Breath Shines Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow when he heard what Tian Ningning said. Weren’t those three statements the same? “After I became a Creation Master, I used a special authority to separate my identity as a Creation Master and my other one as a combat-class spirit qi professional. Black is my combat-class spirit qi professional identity.” Tian Ningning immediately understood the situation. Yet, she still looked confused. Lin Yuan had become famous on Star Web because of his fight against Meng Xu at the Allstar Match. During the fight, he had not used any of Black’s techniques. Tian Ningning could not believe that Lin Yuan was originally a Creation Master. This meant that when Lin Yuan was presenting himself as Black, he did not display his full range of abilities. As Tian Ningning gazed at Lin Yuan, she could not help but be amazed. Black was already impressive enough. If Black still had other secret weapons and was a Creation Master at the same time, his level of impressiveness would reach one that Tian Ningning would not be able to comprehend. She initially had many questions for Black. But after the earth-shattering shock, all the questions and feelings were bottled up and stuck in her throat. She did not know what to ask first. Lin Yuan and Tian Ningning sat in silence for 20 seconds. He could tell that she had something to say but did not know how to broach the topic. As such, he instructed Genius to change back to its original form. Genius meowed and snuggled into Lin Yuan’s arms, its small head lovingly pushing against Lin Yuan’s fingers. He looked at her seriously and said, “Since it looks like you don’t have anything else to ask me, I have things to say to you. Firstly, thank you for being my exclusive reporter and doing all that you’ve done for me on Star Web. I’m sorry that I was so often uncontactable. However, I promise you that I always reply to your messages the moment I see them. The ones I don’t reply to are the ones I haven’t had the chance to read.” Lin Yuan’s tone was full of sincerity. He had already thanked and apologized to her on Star Web, but now that they were actually meeting, Lin Yuan still felt that it was necessary to say it again. Tian Ningning was touched by what Lin Yuan said. Lin Yuan had appreciated all her contributions. All of Tian Ningning’s questions vanished with this explanation. Any remaining questions were just about his feys and his plans for the future. But if she asked those questions now, the meeting would turn into an interview. She smiled at Lin Yuan and said, “I understand. You’ve done so much just as Black. You must have much more to do as Lin Yuan, so it’s to be expected that you’re swamped.” Suddenly, Tian Ningning thought about the news she saw on Star Web about Lin Yuan riding a butterfly-species fey to protect Millstone Town from the Class 2 marsh dimensional rift. The same location, the same young man, but two different identities. Although time had passed, both had made the same choice. Every breath of this young man shone radiantly. “Black, can I call you directly if anything arises in the future? Or can I go to that address you gave me during emergencies?” Lin Yuan nodded and replied, “Of course! I was just going to say—” Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue speaking, the twinkling of a bell rang outside the Depending on Plums Room. The bell signaled that the food was being served. Soon, seven waiters entered the room and placed three vegetable dishes, one salad, one pot of soup, and a platter of fruits on the table. Once they were done, the waiter silently exited. Lin Yuan picked up a bowl and spooned soup into it before handing it to Tian Ningning. “I want to deepen our partnership. May I ask if you have other responsibilities aside from being my exclusive reporter?” asked Lin Yuan. Tian Ningning received the bowl as she shook her head and replied, “I pushed away all other tasks. I’m available for anything.” Tian Ningning swirled the soup in her bowl with her spoon and continued. “Black, this soup is so fresh. During the two times that I came to Spirit Food Pavilion with my chief editors, we ordered this soup once. It’s the freshest soup I’ve ever drunk!” She thought back to Kong Qi’s previous intention of asking Lin Yuan and Black to fight each other. They were actually the same person. How could they fight? No wonder the matter had fallen through once Kong Qi contacted Star Tower. However, Tian Ningning had no idea that the manager of Star Tower that Kong Qi had approached had been called over by Mystic Moon and was still in the midst of an interrogation that had not ended even after two hours. Lin Yuan scooped another bowl of soup for Genius. Genius sniffed the soup and smelled fish inside. It hurriedly placed its soft paw over the bowl and said, “Yuan, I don’t want to drink this fishy soup!” Lin Yuan smiled and placed a piece of duck meat on a plate for Genius. He took over the bowl of soup and took a sip. After one sip, Lin Yuan realized that he did not find the soup as delicious as Tian Ningning made it out to be. He had been eating like a king ever since he moved to the Royal Capital. Most of the food he ate in the mansion used Silver, Gold, and Platinum ingredients. The person who ate such ingredients would find that they were unable to stop. Moreover, they were treated with Liu Jie’s stunning cooking skills. In the Radiant Moon Palace, all spiritual ingredients used were at least Platinum, and most were Diamond grade.
