Fey Evolution Merchant Chapter 1234

Chapter 1234: The Moon Empress’ Plan for Lin Yuan
The Moon Empress’ expression softened for a moment, and she said, “If so, you don’t have to rush. There are still a few hours to go before dinnertime. I haven’t had dinner in the Radiant Moon Palace with Little Yuan in some time. Ask him to come over to have dinner with me tonight.”
Before her lifespan was set, she rarely asked Lin Yuan to come to the Radiant Moon Palace to have dinner.
She liked to have him by her side, but she also hoped he would be able to create a bright and far-reaching future for himself.
But now that her lifespan was set, she did not have time to wait.
As an expert that had made her name with power, she understood that one was helpless against death and that death would bring about the end of everything. There was no afterlife.
In her remaining three years, she hoped that Lin Yuan would visit the Radiant Moon Palace as much as it did not infringe on his life.
As her disciple, he was the closest person to her.
Mystic Moon felt tears welling up as he felt the Moon Empress describe herself as though she was an ailing hero that could no longer live up to her past self.
At her level, she should still be in her prime now.
Yet, she was reduced to making do with another measly three years.
…
Mystic Moon could not do anything about any of this. If it was possible, he was willing to exchange his lifespan with the Moon Empress and die in three years instead.
The more he looked at the Moon Empress’ resigned expression, the more his heart ached. He could not bear to look at her, so he turned his head away and said softly, “Moon Empress, I’ll go and ask for dinner to be prepared now that Young Lord is coming.”
The Moon Empress placed the listless Zixi on the jade table and said, “I think Little Yuan should consume the Earth Center Fine Milk today. Once he does, he should be able to contract Golden Wings. In order to ensure that he’s able to absorb the Earth Center Fine Milk perfectly, we need to include more soul-protecting spiritual ingredients in tonight’s dinner. Since I have nothing on my plate, I will prepare the dinner myself. Mystic Moon, help me with the preparation.”
Mystic Moon had no choice but to go and inform Lin Yuan now.
As the Moon Empress continued to take her usual confident and dignified strides, Mystic Moon said tensely, “Moon Empress, I’ll go with you when the time comes three years later.”...
The Moon Empress immediately rebuked him, “Mystic Moon, what nonsense are you spouting? Even when I’m gone, you still have your own life to lead. I won’t force you to do anything once I’m gone, but I hope you’ll be able to keep helping Little Yuan.”
She could not help but think about Lin Yuan’s performance during Sky City’s blood pact ultimate fight against the Zheng family.
In the short span of a few months, Lin Yuan had grown Sky City into an enormous beast. This filled the Moon Empress with happiness and pride.
Mystic Moon’s handsome face scrunched up in distress as he said, “Moon Empress, you forbade me from telling Lin Yuan and Cold Moon, but you know Cold Moon’s temper best. She’ll definitely make the same decision as me when she finds out. On the other hand, Lin Yuan is your disciple. If he encounters some danger and his lifespan is shortened to another three years as well, but he chooses not to tell you, will you be able to accept it?”
The Moon Empress stared deeply into Mystic Moon’s eyes without saying another word.
Both Mystic Moon and Cold Moon had accepted disciples as well.
Over the next three years, the Masters and disciples would only become closer. When the time came, Mystic Moon and Cold Moon were bound to make the right decision.
As for Lin Yuan, the Moon Empress had decided not to tell him after contemplating the matter thoroughly.
If she told Lin Yuan about her condition, there was no way he would accept the Earth Center Fine Milk without any reservations.
If she told him after he consumed the Earth Center Fine Milk, he would be tortured by the knowledge.
Lin Yuan had just turned 18 this year, and the next three years would be a period of exponential growth for him.
Since she was able to safeguard him for the next three years, she did not want Lin Yuan’s growth to be sidelined because of her.
The Moon Empress prepared a feast for tonight’s dinner.
After the Jade-Eating Blood Swallow evolved to Suzerain, its nest would also become jade. When its nest was cooked, it would be able to replenish a person’s energy to the maximum extent.
Amongst the blood-energy spiritual ingredients, the Jade-Eating Blood Swallow’s nest was even higher ranked than the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire was amongst fire-type spiritual ingredients. There were only about 16 comparable ingredients to the Jade-Eating Blood Swallow’s nest, among which were the Island Whale’s brain oil and Spirit Marrow Gold Ginseng.
Whenever one of these ingredients surfaced, they would incite a mad competition amongst the factions.
In the main world, federations that had good relationships often gifted treasures to each other.
Any of these ingredients could be given as a treasure.
From the way the Moon Empress did not hesitate to use such ingredients, Mystic Moon could tell how important Lin Yuan was to her.
On any other day, the Moon Empress would not even be able to bear using so many of these ingredients on herself.
But when it came to Lin Yuan, she did not care about how precious these ingredients were at all.
Nonetheless, these ingredients were all necessary in order for Lin Yuan to perfectly digest the Earth Center Fine Milk and use its energy to transform himself.
Since the Moon Empress was set on Lin Yuan consuming the Earth Center Fine Milk tonight, Mystic Milk felt that he needed to visit the Return From Faraway Mansion now to tell Lin Yuan about the Moon Empress’ condition.

While these thoughts were running through Mystic Moon’s mind, he was completely oblivious to the fact that the Moon Empress had already completely seen through him.
Mystic Moon checked the time and said, “Moon Empress, it’s getting late. I’ll go and invite the Young Lord now.”
The Moon Empress said knowingly, “Mystic Moon, you stay here and continue prepping the ingredients. I’ll call Little Yuan myself. I’ve already made up my mind. Don’t disappoint me tonight.”
She turned and left the kitchen.
Mystic Moon watched the Moon Empress leave with great sorrow in his eyes.
Meanwhile…
Qi Wangyang and Qi Haitao had arrived at Sky City’s private faction territory, where Lin Yuan was already waiting for them.
They gingerly stood before Lin Yuan with their heads lowered and sour expressions.
Small beads of sweat were rolling down Qi Wangyang’s forehead.
Lin Yuan looked at them the same way he would look at morons and said, “Exciting! It’s so exciting! The Sea Bliss Clan sure has planned this out so well. Do you take Sky City for a bunch of idiots!?”
