Chapter 1368: Sun Ningxiang’s Resolution
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Yuan had raised the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps ever since they were young. Fish-species feys did not have high intelligence, but they felt a lot of affection for Lin Yuan.
After spending some time with Lin Yuan by the edge of Submerged Flood Dragon Lake, the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps swished their tails and swam out into Submerged Flood Dragon Lake.
The Mountain River Eternal Life Carps had the exclusive skill Place of Life. When they swam into Submerged Flood Dragon Lake, the Angelfish of Bliss and precious plants in the pavilions spread out their leaves with delight.
When Lin Yuan saw the beautiful scenery he had created, he breathed out a breath that he had not known he had been holding.
Suddenly, he entered a mystical state.
Creation could bring people happiness. A Willpower Rune of creation appeared in Lin Yuan’s spirit.

Naturally, Lin Yuan was elated to comprehend another Willpower Rune. However, it was not suitable for the Remembrance Soul Whale.
At that moment, he heard a clear bird chirp from the mansion’s entrance. He looked out and saw that Sun Ninxiang had arrived.
There was a short woman who shared Sun Ningxiang’s eyes next to Sun Ningxiang.
Lin Yuan knew that Sun Ningxiang’s parents had passed, so this woman had to be Sun Ningxiang’s grandmother, the thearch-class expert Liu Yuan.
He rushed up to them to usher them into the house.
Before Sun Ningxiang could speak, Liu Yuan knelt on one knee and said solemnly, “My name is Liu Yuan. Thank you for saving my life with the Moon Dew Revival Pill.”
Lin Yuan anxiously helped Liu Yuan up. He was friends with Sun Ninxiang and could not handle her grandmother thanking him in such a manner.
He had not thought about the Moon Dew Revival Pill’s value when he saved Liu Yuan. Even when he thought back on it, he did not regret using the Moon Dew Revival Pill to save Liu Yuan’s life. He could not stand and watch his friend’s family die when he had the ability to save them.
Sun Ningxiang saw that her grandmother was about to thank Lin Yuan again and was afraid that Lin Yuan would be put on the spot. She gently held Liu Yuan’s hand.
Lin Yuan and Sun Ningxiang had not known each other for a long time, and he had been wearing a mask the last time they met. Hence, she had not noticed the changes in him.
But now, as she looked at Lin Yuan’s exquisite features and growing aura of eliteness, she could not help but be stupefied.
Liu Yuan gently tugged Sun Ningxiang’s arm when she saw her granddaughter spacing out.
When Sun Ningxiang regained her senses, her face flushed, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Lin Yuan had not noticed the change in Sun Ningxiang’s expression. He was too busy praying that Liu Yuan would not get down on her knees again.
After exchanging a few words with Liu Yuan, he led her and Sun Ningxiang into the mansion.
When Sun Ningxiang sat down on the sofa, she decided to tell Lin Yuan what needed to be said.
Lin Yuan poured out cups of Three Treasures Tea for Sun Ningxiang and Liu Yuan. Before he could finish filling Sun Ningxiang’s cup, she said, “Lin Yuan, Condense Fairy Orchard would like to be attached to Sky City from now on and become one of your branches just like the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce is.”
Instead of looking happy, Lin Yuan frowned. He felt that a large part of this decision was motivated by gratitude toward him for saving Liu Yuan.
If Lin Yuan and Sun Ningxiang were not friends, he would be more than willing to take her up on her offer.
However, he considered her his good friend, and this decision made him feel like she regarded their relationship as transactional.
Thus, he asked her seriously, “Did you decide to attach Condense Fairy Orchard to Sky City as a way of thanking me? If so, there is no need. If you would really like to repay the debt of the Moon Dew Revival Pill, you can repay me with resources once Condense Fairy Orchard has expanded sufficiently.”
Sun Ningxiang shook her head gently.
It was true that she had made the decision to express her gratitude. However, she was the decision-maker of a top faction and had to look past the surface of matters.
She had also made this decision after taking the entire Condense Fairy Orchard into consideration. By attaching Condense Fairy Orchard to Sky City, Condense Fairy Orchard’s future expansion would be secured.
Even if Liu Yuan had regained her health, Condense Fairy Orchard would still only be left with one thearch-class expert.
They had no Creation Master resources or martial force. Hence, it would be difficult for Condense Fairy Orchard to forge a better future for itself.
Sun Ningxiang sorted out her emotions before saying, “Condense Fairy Orchard is fully reliant on Sky City for Creation Master resources. Without Sky City, our plant-type fey role will crumble in an instant. By attaching ourselves to Sky City, Condense Fairy Orchard will have a light waiting for us at the end of the tunnel.
“Lin Yuan, if you are satisfied with us, please take us in! From today onward, Grandma and I will focus on expanding Condense Fairy Orchard, and we won’t have to worry about being targeted by other factions. It is us who would like to take shelter under the tree that is Sky City.”
Liu Yuan felt her heart ache when she heard Sun Ningxiang say such things. She felt that her granddaughter was speaking in an excessively inferior manner. It was clear that her decision came from a place of gratitude, yet she made Condense Fairy Orchard sound even lousier in case Lin Yuan was unwilling to accept them. Liu Yuan did not understand this side of her granddaughter.
But from the moment Liu Yuan looked into Lin Yuan’s clean and clear eyes, she knew that he had no unsavory intentions.
This was not surprising. The Moon Empress’ disciple was going to fight to become a Radiance Envoy two years later, and he would not allow himself to be blinded by his emotions.
Lin Yuan fell silent when he heard what Sun Ningxiang said.
Amid his silence, Sun Ningxiang said, “Lin Yuan, if Sky City will not accept Condense Fairy Orchard, I might as well demote Condense Fairy Orchard into a veteran faction and sell off our breeding bases to Sky City. We are old friends. Considering our friendship, I’m sure you won’t reject our spirit plant breeding bases that supply 20% of plant-type feys to the market.”
Lin Yuan shook his head in frustration.
“Since you’ve brought this matter up, Condense Fairy Orchard shall become the second faction under Sky City. I will not question Condense Fairy Orchard’s expansion. You just need to send general reports to Wen Yu just like the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce does.”
