Chapter 1170: Delicate Young Man
Excessive enthusiasm could ruin the situation.
While Silver Corona played with Lin Yuan, it spotted the Insect Queen in Liu Jie’s arms.
It flapped its wings and flew over to the Insect Queen. Soon, Silver Corona and the Insect Queen had become friends.
Silver Corona invited the Insect Queen to play amongst the bone lotus flowers.
When Liu Jie saw how well the Insect Queen and Silver Corona were getting along, he smiled gleefully.
Hehe, I’m on such great terms with Lin Yuan, and my fey is also close with his fey! This feels good!
Suddenly, Liu Jie narrowed his eyes and said, “Lin Yuan, the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps group is getting antsy. Half an hour ago, the phone you gave me has rung three times, and the group from the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps has started advancing.”
Lin Yuan took out the phone he had stored in the amber-button-shaped Diamond fey storage box and saw that it had five missed calls.
He smiled and looked toward the far distance.
…
The sun hung high in the sky as a large group dressed in vine armor marched through a forest.
A yellow-brown elephant-species fey used its trunk to pluck out small trees and sent them into its mouth to munch on.
The taste of the small trees did not seem to agree with it, and it spat out the chewed-up trees onto the ground.
As it moved its head, its ivory tusks left deep gashes in the trunks of large trees.
A tent sat on the elephant-species fey’s back, sheltering those that sat within it from the blinding sunlight and any falling leaves, branches, or fruits.
A girl wearing a long silk dress sat inside the tent.
Various flower petals were adorned by vines embroidered on her silk dress, and the complicated design made the high-quality silk appear gaudy.
She also had a purple fur cloak draped around her.
The fur was long and matted at the edges of the cloak. It was clear that this cloak was rather old as time spent under the hot sun had dried up the natural oils at the cloak’s edges.
In the Divine Wood Federation, accessories were very important as they represented one’s status.
The clothes worn by normal people had accessories made of rough twine.
The servants of households or people whose lives were extremely difficult did not even have such clothes to wear. They could only wear clothes woven from the branches of plants.
The clothes made from the branches of plants not only pricked and hurt their wearers, but they could not last more than a few days before they needed to be repaired.
The most abundant resource in the Divine Wood Federation was plant-type feys.
The Divine Wood Federation and the Iron Hammer Federation had the same structure of factions.
Creation Masters could start families based on their class, and the members of Creation Master families were often regarded as the elite.
The clothes worn by these people were more elaborate.
Insect-species feys were also high in volume in the Divine Wood Federation.
The elite preferred to wear spirit qi clothes made from silk produced by insect-species feys, and they also added complex accessories to the plain-colored clothes.
Besides silk, the elite liked to wear spirit qi clothes made of fur.
Beast-type feys were very rare in the Divine Wood Federation, and it was impressive for one person to own one set of fur spirit qi clothes.
The girl seated in the tent even took care to spread out the cloak to prevent herself from sitting on the fur and causing it to become less fluffy.
She was dressed in expensive clothes and had average features. Yet, her face was slathered in makeup.
This made her appear promiscuous.
She was gnashing her teeth as she looked to the road ahead and growled, “The five of you better have met with an accident and ended up eaten by some animal. If any of you dare to show your face again, I’ll whip you into a pile of mangled flesh!”
The girl was bored stiff when she heard a voice shout, “Miss Luo Ya, the Banana Wood Elephant has been traveling on an empty stomach. It needs to be fed! Otherwise, it might go into a frenzy when it sees fruit trees!”
Luo Ya waved her hand and summoned a light-yellow moth.
The moth had a wingspan of two meters and was very bloated. Its wings did not have any patterns but were lined with a thick layer of pollen.
This made the moth appear slightly repulsive.
Luo Ya leaped onto the moth and rode it to the ground.
She frowned at the tall and long-haired man and said, “Fu Di, I fed spirit fluids given by my father to the Banana Wood Elephant so that it will be able to evolve to Gold soon. When you feed it, make sure you feed it something nutritious.”
Fu Di was the leader of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps and Luo Ya’s loyal subordinate. He was decently talented.
After becoming acquainted with Luo Ya, he managed to convince her to become the deputy head of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps.
He had gained a large amount of Creation Master resources through his connection with Luo Ya.
The Banana Wood Elephant was not Luo Ya’s fey but one of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps’ assets.
It would be greatly beneficial to the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps if the Banana Wood Elephant evolved to Gold grade.
Fu Di was jubilant and expressed it by trying to gain favor with Luo Ya.
“Miss Luo Ya, when we find the merchants from the Great Lush Federation, I’ll tell the boys to kill all the ugly and old ones and gather the handsome and young ones for you.”
Luo Ya replied nonchalantly, “A group of merchants like that wander around trading and are always exposed to the elements. I highly doubt any of them will be good-looking.”
She felt that this journey had become boring.
Luo Ya did not provide the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps with Creation Master resources to strengthen them just to gain 300 bootlickers.
Since she came from a Class 2 family, she was treated like a princess in her home city.
Fu Di had convinced her to become the deputy head of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps because he had promised to find handsome boys for her.
But the more she played around, the higher her standard became.
The boys that she would have salivated over in previous years would not even catch her eye now.
This was a great source of annoyance for her.
While she surveyed the surroundings, she suddenly caught sight of a figure hurrying toward the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps.
