Fey Evolution Merchant

Lu Pinru and Tan Ran were ready for battle at this point.

Lin Yuan could see the intention of the quartet.
They wanted to stay in Millstone Town and help the town defend against the insect tide invasion.

At that moment, Lin Yuan could not help but think of the little boy that had bought a fat yellow duck sugar figurine earlier.

He also recalled that when Chu Ci was young and was eating sugar figurines, she would always throw a tantrum about wanting a sugar figurine in the shape of an Elite Black Back Mountain Boar.

It was as though the taste of pork could be felt.

Those distant memories appeared before his eyes.

What was happiness?

When one was hungry, rice would be one’s happiness.
It was enough if one could eat to one’s fill.

When one was thirsty, water would be one’s happiness.
It was enough if one could drink to one’s fill.

When one was poor, money would be one’s happiness.
It was enough if one had sufficient money.

Happiness might be one thing when one was young, and one would feel happy when one had something.

When one grew up, happiness might be one goal, and one would feel happy when one achieved that.

A few months ago, Lin Yuan had been a struggling man on the line of happiness, and he had been neither healthy nor had enough food or clothes.

But now, he had bigger life goals than other people.

In Lin Yuan’s opinion, rather than saying it was because of his reincarnation, him forming a contract with Morbius, or being able to channel spirit qi to enhance feys, it was because he had been born in the Radiance Federation.

Although Lin Yuan had grown up unwilling to accept others’ help, he had unknowingly accepted too many favors.

From time to time, Auntie Zhang and Uncle Wang would take care of his daily life and wonder whether he could live well.
Before Chu Ci had a contracted fey, Teacher Bao had wanted to buy one for her with his own money.
And there was also his dutiful teacher, the Moon Empress.

When Lin Yuan saw the battle intent in the quartet’s eyes, it seemed as if he suddenly understood the meaning of radiance.

Radiance was a legacy, a mission, and a kind of belief.

Lin Yuan frowned as he looked at them.
“Do you think that the four of you are the only ones who want to stay? In my opinion, our temporary squad can’t be disbanded, not at least until we get through this insect tide.”

Xin Ying, Lu Pinru, and Tan Ran looked at Lin Yuan with their eyes lit up.

If they were kind to Lin Yuan before, then it was because they had formed a temporary squad.
But now, they were looking at Lin Yuan in approval.
This kind of recognition had nothing to do with his strength.
Rather, it was a kind of soul-level recognition.

Zhang Xiaobai’s face turned red from holding back his words.
He laughed and punched Lin Yuan.
“Lin Yuan, you’re worthy of being a good brother of mine.”

Lin Yuan almost took a step back from Zhang Xiaobai’s punch on his shoulder.

Zhang Xiaobai was worthy of someone boorish who had to eat 30 kidney skewers for each meal.
He was indeed boorish.

Lin Yuan also punched back on Zhang Xiaobai’s shoulder.
“I’ll focus on healing you during the battle later.”

Zhang Xiaobai took a step back from Lin Yuan’s punch and replied with a laugh, “This punch is strong enough.
That’s satisfying!”

Zhang Xiaobai and Lin Yuan were not good at expressing their affection.
Hitting each other with a punch was sometimes the way males expressed their friendship.

Lin Yuan looked at the dimensional rift and said sternly, “We won’t be able to stop this insect tide with just a few of us.
We’ll follow the stream of people toward the location where Millstone Town’s adventurers gather.”

Xin Ying quickly responded, “There is a Guild Alliance branch in Millstone Town.
The stream of people is heading there.
We’ll head there now.”

Lin Yuan was running with the quartet to the Millstone Town’s Guild Alliance branch when he heard a strange yet pleasant female voice.
It belonged to none other than the Mother of Bloodbath, which had been silent before.
