Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 1983

1983 Oh? Intelligence and Capability?

If Bai Qinghuan was completely incompetent and only wanted Lin Yuan’s protection, he would not waste time on her.

But if Bai Qinghuan had her own capabilities, Lin Yuan did not mind helping to change her fate and open a new path for her.

When Bai Qinghuan saw the starlight around Lin Yuan darkening, she knew that she could not wait any longer.

She had been trying to find a way to gain the upper hand when she eventually spoke to Lin Yuan. Even if she could not gain the upper hand, she had to at least secure equal footing.

!!
Since she was going to become subservient to him, she was well aware that she had to consider her future identity and status.

Their short interaction had already been enough for Bai Qinghuan to know that this young man liked to be the one in the lead.

Lin Yuan was her only path to salvation, but she was nothing more than another chess piece on his board. She was non-essential.

Bai Qinghuan was extremely confident in her abilities. Otherwise, she would not have left herself with no way out in a circumstance like the Crown Wood Banquet.

But before she demonstrated what she could do, she knew that she had no leverage.

Thus, she bit her lip and said, “Young Master Chu, I am 19 years old this year and am a beginner Class 2 Creation Master. My main fey is Gold/Fantasy.”

Liu Jie had been curious about Bai Qinghuan. He wanted to know why she was speaking in such a way that left no way out for herself.

There was no way that Bai Qinghuan would naively believe that a faction would be willing to offend the Bai family and try to take control of them just because she was a beautiful woman.

She was 19 years old, a Class 2 Creation Master, and had a Gold/Fantasy fey. Given her age and power, she was definitely considered a genius. She had what it took to fight for a spot in the Radiance Hundred Sequence, even in the Radiance Federation.

However, she could not prove anything by attaining such power with the Bai family’s resources.

In fact, by abandoning the Bai family to seek protection elsewhere, she seemed rather despicable.

However, her vapid demeanor with Yang Sijie and Su Han and her ridiculous responses made Liu Jie aware that Bai Qinghuan was not simple.

She would never rely on something like her feminine wiles.

Just as Liu Jie thought, once Bai Qinghuan was done introducing her power level, her tone took a turn. “Young Master Chu, Sky Creation has a Class 5 Creation Master. My power is insignificant. I came to see you because I want to take a gamble. Will my intelligence and capability be enough to trade for your willingness to make an enemy out of the Bai family and protect me?”

Lin Yuan finally looked interested.

“Oh? Intelligence and capability? Since you’re from the Divine Wood Federation, you should know that power is everything. Intelligence and capability are worthless when one is imprisoned. It will only be able to take effect when one is in a high position. So, by approaching me, you’re not only trying to rid yourself of the Bai family but also looking for a chance to develop your ambition from a high position. Other factions won’t be able to handle your ambition, and I’m the same!”

Bai Qinghuan inhaled sharply, and she felt as though she had been frozen.

This young man completely saw through her heart.

By saying that he could not handle her ambition, he was rejecting her. This meant that she would not even have the opportunity to demonstrate her intelligence and capability.

As Bai Qinghuan felt her body become increasingly cold as she teetered off the precipice overlooking the pit of despair, the young man said softly, “If your ability and intelligence can make up for the flaws left by your intelligence, I can give you a chance to reach that high position.”

Bai Qinghuan always saw herself as being skilled at psychological warfare.

However, that young man had just given her hope before swapping it with despair and then handing her renewed hope.

After the back and forth, she could not help but be terrified of this young man, to the point that she dared not bare her ambition in front of him.

Bai Qinghuan took a deep breath and knew that this was her last chance.

She took out the Item-Storing Walnut and activated it using spiritual energy.

Four piles of documents, each almost four meters tall, appeared on Blackie’s back.

The wind at such a high altitude was extremely strong, and some of the documents were immediately blown away when they appeared.

Liu Jie waved his finger, and two of the Lonely Night Hurricane Moths that had been scouting the surroundings flashed and retrieved every single one of the documents that had been blown away by the wind.

Bai Qinghuan stared at Lin Yuan with utmost seriousness and said, “Young Master Chu, everything I want to say is here. You will automatically come to a decision once you’re done reading them. If you really don’t think I’m worth it, please drop me off outside of Sacred Forest City to give me a chance to flee for my life.”

Lin Yuan looked at Bai Qinghuan and noticed that there was still calmness amid her panic.

Bai Qinghuan saw Lin Yuan looking at her and thought he did not have the patience to look through the documents she had just produced.

She immediately lost her cool.

She knew that she had taken out far too much information. It would take a regular person a few days to read through all of them.

But if Lin Yuan was unwilling to read through the documents, Bai Qinghuan had no idea how she could prove her worth.

At that moment, she suddenly saw a white cat appear in Lin Yuan’s arms.

The cat had eight long billowing tails, and it was covered in bright ivory fur.

The eight-tailed cat with a strange gaze was currently affectionately clinging to Lin Yuan’s shoulders as it nuzzled its neck.

As a Class 2 Creation Master, Bai Qinghuan could not tell what the cat’s ability was. However, she could tell that it had reached Diamond X/Fantasy.

Another Diamond X/Fantasy V fey! It had a similar level of power to the black flood dragon.

The two Diamond X/Fantasy V feys gave Bai Qinghuan a boost of confidence.

For the first time, she felt insignificant and mediocre.

At that moment, Bai Qinghuan heard the young man say, “Don’t you want me to look through the four piles of documents? I shall do as you ask.”

Bai Qinghuan was delighted when she heard this.

This was when she heard the cat in Lin Yuan’s arms let out a long meow.
