nLin Yuan had already woken up and gotten dressed.

nIt was New Year’s, and Lin Yuan put on spirit qi clothes with red accessories that he rarely wore.

nOccasionally, Lin Yuan wore brightly colored clothes. They made him look younger.

nGenius, which was in Lin Yuan’s arms, was still rolling around lazily. When Lin Yuan dressed Genius in a red armor set that Wen Yu had made, Genius immediately perked up. It wagged its three tails and said in a child-like voice, “Yuan, do I look good in these clothes?”

nLin Yuan reached out his hand and affectionately pinched Genius’ small nose.

n“You little brat. You’ve already asked this question ten times. Of course, you look good!”

nThe idea to make this armor had sparked in Wen Yu’s mind out of nowhere. It suited Genius well.

nSince Wen Yu had never seen Genius wearing any clothes, she gave the red armor to Lin Yuan.

nLin Yuan had decided to dress Genius in it on a whim. It was only then that he realized how much Genius liked wearing such clothes.

nGenius reveled in Lin Yuan’s praise.

nAlthough it had already heard Lin Yuan’s reply more than ten times, Genius was still waving its tail around just as happily.

nLin Yuan smiled and asked, “How about I ask Wen Yu to make more clothes for you?”

nGenius jumped into Lin Yuan’s arms in delight.

nLin Yuan stoked Genius’ head and thought to himself about how sensible Genius still was.

nHowever, the Lin Yuan of today was different from the Lin Yuan, who used to struggle to make a living in the Xia Region.

n“Genius, let me know what you like from now on. We can afford many things now,” said Lin Yuan to Genius seriously.

nLin Yuan heard knocking on the door of the loft and opened it to see Cai Cha standing there.

nCai Cha bowed to Lin Yuan and said, “Young Lord, the Moon Empress is calling on you to dine in the inner palace. Xicha went to call the Little Cold Moon Envoy.”

nIt took a moment for Lin Yuan to respond to the words ‘Little Cold Moon Envoy’, but he soon realized Cai Cha was referring to Chu Ci.

nLin Yuan nodded and replied, “Let’s go to the inner palace together.”

nLin Yuan could not help but think, Now that I have the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls, the space in the Spirit Lock spatial zone that I was using to nurture the Flower Brocade Pearls is now empty. What should I do with the empty space?

nEvery inch of the Spirit Lock spatial zone was intended for Lin Yuan to store and accumulate resources.

nHence, Lin Yuan needed to carefully think about what was the best way to use the Spirit Lock spatial zone. It was imperative that he did not make rash decisions.

nWhen they arrived at the entrance of the inner palace, Cai Cha bowed and said, “Young Lord, the Moon Empress personally woke up at the crack of dawn to cook today’s breakfast.”

nLin Yuan suddenly thought that he should make something for his Master during New Year’s.

nOnce they were done eating, Lin Yuan said to the Moon Empress before he left, “Master, you don’t need to cook during New Year’s. I’ll prepare the food in the afternoon.”

nInitially, the Moon Empress thought that Lin Yuan wanted to take something from Leaning Moon Mountain. She was about to tell him that the Radiant Moon Palace had everything and that he did not need to prepare anything when she heard the rest of what he had to say.

nA warm smile blossomed on the Moon Empress’ face.

nShe gazed at Lin Yuan with adoration and said, “Okay.”

nLiu Jie was decently confident in his cooking skills. Although he was not as skilled as Liu Jie, Lin Yuan had eaten his own food before and found it acceptable.

nIt was just that after Lin Yuan met Liu Jie, he no longer had the opportunity to cook.

nLin Yuan contacted Ostrich Logistics on the way back to the mansion. He tasked them to give away the elemental pearls from last night’s group welfare auction and the private trades’ ones.

nOnce he was done liaising with Ostrich Logistics, Lin Yuan could tell that Chu Ci was very nervous.

nInstead of saying something, Lin Yuan only raised an eyebrow.

nThey were about to arrive at the Return from Faraway Mansion that was on the outskirts of the Royal Capital.

nThe people who were anxious to see Chu Ci had to be far more nervous than her.

nLin Yuan saw Wen Yu and another young girl with purplish-red hair at the mansion entrance.

nWhen Wen Yu saw Lin Yuan, she exclaimed, “Young Master.”

nThe purplish-red-haired girl waved at Lin Yuan and yelled, “Mister Deep Mountain Elder Lin, I’m back to being your dedicated courier again!”

nLin Yuan knew that Ah Neng had been busy participating in the Guild Alliance’s S Tournament.

n“Ah Neng, how did you do at the S Tournament?” asked Lin Yuan.

nAh Neng’s eyes shone as she replied, “I ended many people’s misery with a rain of bullets. I’m just a substitute this year, so I don’t need to enter the competition anymore. But, I’ll be able to be in the main team in next year’s S Tournament!”

nAh Neng started waving her fists around as though she was cheering herself on.

nLin Yuan laughed and cheered Ah Neng on.

nAh Neng had not been a courier for some time.

nThe current Ah Neng was no longer the same as the careless child she used to be.

nAfter Ah Neng left, Lin Yuan saw that Chu Ci and Wen Yu had linked arms.

nChu Ci had just been acquainted with Wen Yu in the video call, but they were already so close despite having only just met.

nWas this why they said that women only needed one second to become friends with each other?

nWen Yu could finally lay her worries to rest after she saw Lin Yuan.

nDuring Lin Yuan’s absence, Wen Yu had been tending to every aspect of the mansion, especially when Liu Jie and Zhou Luo had been in a coma.

nNothing special had taken place in the mansion during this time.

nThe Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s old rival, the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce, had started trying to overcome the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. Thus, Listen needed to constantly handle this issue.

nOnly a few surprise guests had turned up at the mansion recently.

n“Young Master, the main descendant of Wind Mist City’s Gao family, Gao Feng came looking for you a week ago. You were still in a coma, and I told him that you had left the mansion on business. Every few days, the phone that you gave to the Mother of Bloodbath would ring with messages from Gao Feng. He must have some urgent matter to see you about.”

nLin Yuan cocked an eyebrow.

nGao Feng sure is anxious to see me. I wonder what urgent matter he has to see me about.

nCoincidentally, Lin Yuan also intended to ask Gao Feng for help after New Year’s.

nHe wanted to obtain some Angelfish of Bliss through Gao Feng.
