The Mother of Bloodbath replied upon receiving Lin Yuan’s order, “If we encounter a sneak attack from an emperor-class expert, it’s hard to stop it at once if we’re hidden in the dark.
“Sister Summer is not good at concealment, so she’ll hide in the shadows.
“Although the law I control is blood, my species and exclusive skills are extremely good at concealment.
“Even an emperor-class expert will not notice me if I’m by your side.”
Endless Summer fiddled with the bell on its bracelet that was hidden in the pink-purple embroidered-ball-shaped flower and said, “Sister Blood and I are both near and far, respectively. While Sister Blood protects your safety closely, I will keep an eye on you guys from a distance. I’ll also see how many pairs of eyes are watching you from the shadows.”
Lin Yuan nodded in response.
When the Mother of Bloodbath saw Lin Yuan nod, the corners of its mouth on its expressionless face curved up into a pleasant arc.
It relied on the Path Protector contract between it and Lin Yuan and spoke in his mind in a voice that only he could hear.
“I’m your Path Protector. Your safety must come first.”
Lin Yuan’s heart warmed up upon hearing that. In fact, during the time Lin Yuan had been spending time with the Mother of Bloodbath, he had almost forgotten that it was his Path Protector.
However, the Mother of Bloodbath had been silently performing its duties as a Path Protector.
At that moment, a scarlet luster flickered around the Mother of Bloodbath that was on the Long-Backed Swan’s back. This scarlet luster made one feel as if they saw a sticky blood pool. Everyone could obviously feel the Long-Backed Swan’s body trembling faintly, obviously scared.
If Endless Summer and the Mother of Bloodbath hadn’t used their aura to control the Long-Backed Swan when they transformed, the Long-Backed Swan would have been frightened by the Mother of Bloodbath’s aura and fallen to the ground.
The Mother of Bloodbath was a bird-catching spider. Besides its quality’s mightiness, it also possessed its species’ intimidation trait.
The Mother of Bloodbath shrunk to the size of a centimeter, just as when it had first become Lin Yuan’s Path Protector.
However, the Mother of Bloodbath didn’t land on the leaf-shaped fey storage box hanging on Lin Yuan’s chest. Instead, it landed on his hair and hid between it.
Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, Endless Summer, and Listen had long known that the Mother of Bloodbath was a Suzerain/Myth Breed fey.
Only Zhou Luo, who was on the back of the Long-Backed Swan, didn’t know about the Mother of Bloodbath’s identity.
When Zhou Luo now saw the Mother of Bloodbath change from human form to a scarlet spider, hidden between Lin Yuan’s hair, his eyes immediately widened. He gulped wildly and sighed in his heart. How lucky am I to be able to have an opportunity to join such a strong faction!?
This legendary Suzerain/Myth II fey was actually next to him, and based on the conversation just now between the woman who had turned into a spider and that abnormally gentle-looking woman, although Zhou Luo wasn’t sure if the latter was a fey, the latter must have a strength of an emperor-class expert.
Just as Zhou Luo was shocked, Lin Yuan called him out.
“After we arrive at Indigo Azure City, you don’t need to move with us first.”
When Zhou Luo heard Lin Yuan’s words, he immediately suppressed his shock and was ready to receive his orders. At the same time, Zhou Luo was already prepared to face the danger. When making the servant oath, Zhou Luo knew that his life no longer belonged to him while he obtained resources.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan’s following words gave Zhou Luo an indescribable feeling.
“Your Iron Bone Iguana grew a second head and mutated into a Lava Iguana after using five heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls produced by the Scorching Elemental Shellfish.
“When it mutated into a Lava Iguana, it was promoted from Platinum IX to Platinum X.
“I see that the Lava Iguana is only one Flawless Dragon’s Mouth Orchid flower away from the stimulation of its dragon-species bloodline.
“I have one here for you to do that.”
Lin Yuan had two Flawless Dragon’s Mouth Orchid flowers from the resources he had exchanged with the 30 Flower Brocade Pearls in his Purchase With No Loss store’s fan club.
Flawless Dragon’s Mouth Orchid flowers were not considered very rare in the market and could be auctioned for nearly 1,000,000 Radiance dollars on the Rare Lifeform Pavilion.
When the Lava Iguana stimulated the dragon-species bloodline in its body, it had a high chance of breaking through the limit of its grade and advancing from Platinum X to Diamond I.
This huge increase in its grade would allow the Lava Iguana to become a Diamond/Fantasy Breed fey.
It was the same as saying that it allowed Zhou Luo to step up from the bottom level of a king-class expert to the level of a mid-level one. As a result, he would also be able to complete his mission better.
However, if Lin Yuan only had that one Epic Dragon’s Mouth Orchid flower, he wouldn’t have given it to Zhou Luo to use.
The Epic Dragon’s Mouth Orchid flower was the most top-notch Dragon’s Mouth Orchid flower that had ever appeared on the market. Such things were not something that could be bought with Radiance dollars.
Lin Yuan preferred to let the white-clothed followers he nurtured get their own resources. He couldn’t afford to pour in all the resources to improve his white-clothed followers’ strength.
If that were the case, Lin Yuan might as well change his name from Lin Yuan to Big Head Lin. He wouldn’t do such a disproportional give and take.
However, the Flawless Dragon’s Mouth Orchid would be harmless. Despite this, it could allow Zhou Luo to feel moved from the bottom of his heart.
Although Zhou Luo had been grateful to Lin Yuan for investing a Bronze/Epic Dark Snake Dragon Lizard and five heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls on him, he hadn’t been moved. This was because such a resource had been exchanged with Zhou Luo’s servant oath.
However, the Flawless Dragon’s Mouth Orchid was not. If it was before, Zhou Luo would need to accumulate resources for two years to get his hands on the Flawless Dragon’s Mouth Orchid.
Even if the Iron Bone Iguana had mutated into a Lava Iguana, and Zhou Luo’s strength had been boosted, in his opinion, he would now need at least eight months to earn money for the Flawless Dragon’s Mouth Orchid.
The faction to which he had dedicated all his loyalty had given him such a gift before he had made any contribution during his first mission. This made the emotions of gratitude in Zhou Luo’s heart churn even more.
At that moment, Lin Yuan glanced at Listen and said, “Listen, what do you think the Zheng family’s Young Master Zheng will feel if he learns that you’ve suddenly returned to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s old mansion?”
