Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2257
2257 Are You Seducing Me?
It even generously provided its subordinate with a large pile of rewards.
It did not matter who heard first. What was important was leaving the best impression on Dictator Ten Thousand Source.
There were many veteran Apostles in the Marsh East Palace who did not want Dictator Ten Thousand Source to take over Marsh East Palace. Thus, East Glow did not have many obstacles to take down.
Even if there were obstacles in its way, it would be able to bulldoze through them as the decision-maker in Marsh East Palace.
East Glow hurriedly rushed toward the main palace.
!!
When it arrived at the main hall’s entrance, East Glow saw four attendants who were usually with Star Splendor standing there.
This meant that Star Splendor, who did not support Dictator Ten Thousand Source’s takeover of Marsh East Palace, had gone to see Dictator Ten Thousand Source first.
This discovery caused East Glow to furrow its brow.
East Glow had been courting Star Splendor and was enraptured by Star Splendor’s looks.
Once one’s looks reached a peak, one would be able to captivate others even if they were lacking in other areas.
East Glow did not feel this way before it met Star Splendor.
If not because of East Glow, there was no way that Star Splendor would have been able to enter Marsh East Palace, given its powers 800 years ago.
After being given resources from Marsh East Palace, Star Splendor was now an Apostle with below strong faith power.
In spite of Star Splendor’s current strength, East Glow continued to supply it with resources.
The issue of inviting Dictator Ten Thousand Source into Marsh East Palace was the first time that East Glow and Star Splendor were on opposite sides.
This allowed East Glow to understand that with Star Splendor’s personality and plans, there was no way that it could continue to remain by its side for long.
But why had Star Splendor come to meet with Dictator Ten Thousand Source?
It had brought Star Splendor into the Marsh East Palace because it had been enthralled by Star Splendor and because Star Splendor had spent a significant amount of effort currying favor and even seducing it.
Star Splendor was not strong but was skilled at using its looks as weapons.
Thus, after some rumination, East Glow understood why Star Splendor had beaten everyone else to the punch and rushed there to meet Dictator Ten Thousand Source.
It could be that Star Splendor was never against Dictator Ten Thousand Source entering Marsh East Palace but hoped to create conflict so the other veteran Apostles would not come to meet with Dictator Ten Thousand Source. This way, it would have a higher chance of being accepted to join Dictator Ten Thousand Source’s camp.
This fit with Star Splendor’s style.
Dictators were not the final destination of power that dimensional lifeforms could attain. They were also doing all they could to find ways to increase their power, just like Apostles did.
How could such an expert fall to a pretty face?
It would not have wanted to give up everything for Star Splendor’s sake if it had not entered a period of ease and comfort.
East Glow shot a look at a few of the subordinates behind it, and they immediately locked the entrance to the main hall.
East Glow was still the overseer of Marsh East Palace.
The veteran Apostles would not dare to protest even if they came to the main hall to greet Dictator Ten Thousand Source but found themselves stopped.
East Glow still possessed such authority.
East Glow was in no rush to enter the main hall but intended to allow Star Splendor to stay a little longer in the main hall.
This was so Star Splendor could find out how big of a mistake it was making by seducing a Dictator.
It also gave East Glow a chance to test Dictator Ten Thousand Source’s personality and find out whether it would be worth it to become loyal to Dictator Ten Thousand Source.
As an Apostle, it could not opt out once it had become loyal to a Dictator.
It would be better to continue on its own rather than commit to a Dictator who could not even hold out against temptation.
Star Splendor’s heart sank, and its expression slowly turned awkward.
Star Splendor had always used its beauty to obtain resources. But in the face of this Dictator with the appearance of a young man, the looks it had always been proud of had become useless!
Lin Yuan was holding the Storing Ability White Peach that contained source-type power. Its juices were sweet and refreshing, much tastier than a peach.
Lin Yuan chomped down on the Storing Ability White Peach as he examined the kneeling Star Splendor.
At first, Lin Yuan had not thought much about Star Splendor coming to see him. He just assumed Marsh East Palace had sent an Apostle to come and greet him.
He did not care if this Apostle was East Glow.
A faction without a Dictator and only made up of veteran Apostles could never be united.
But slowly, Lin Yuan realized that Star Splendor was not talking about what mattered, and he realized that Star Splendor had to be scheming something.
Lin Yuan was slightly frustrated but continued to smile.
He did not expect to be seduced in a place like the marsh world where dangers were abound and all lifeforms abided by the law of the jungle.
He would not have taken out the Storing Ability White Peach to eat if he knew.
The Storing Ability White Peaches were about the size of two fists, and one was at least 500 grams.
Lin Yuan originally wanted to use the Storing Ability White Peach to attract the attention of the veteran Apostles from Marsh East Palace so that he had something he could use to leverage a trade.
But Star Splendor’s mind was not on the right track and was not focused on the Storing Ability White Peach at all.
After eating one and a half of the Storing Ability White Peaches, Lin Yuan could not go on.
If Star Splendor did not leave soon, his stomach would explode from eating all of the Storing Ability White Peaches.
Lin Yuan discourteously tossed the remaining half of the Storing Ability White Peach onto the table.
The marsh world was warm and humid. Thus, the environment was filled with various types of bacteria. All of the bacteria could quickly decompose living creatures.
This was why the bodies of anything that died in the marsh world decomposed completely within half a day.
The remaining half of the Storing Ability White Peach would be covered with bacteria and rot within half an hour.
There was no way that Lin Yuan could digest the Storing Ability White Peaches in his body during that time.
Thus, Lin Yuan decided to give up on the remaining half of the Storing Ability White Peach.
Star Splendor had caused Lin Yuan to overeat to the point of nausea, and he still had not been able to accomplish his goal. Thus, he became increasingly upset with Star Splendor.
When Star Splendor entered, Lin Yuan had indeed felt that it had exceptional looks.
However, its looks could not compare to Su Yiren’s.
After spending time with Su Yiren, Lin Yuan was no longer overly affected by beauty.
