Chapter Twenty: Ye Yun Reunites with the Trio

Page (1/3)

Dan Heng relaxed upon seeing Ye Yun.

Ye Yun smiled and waved.

“March, Dan Heng, how have things been these past couple of days? Any interesting encounters?”

March Seven pondered for a moment upon hearing Ye Yun’s question about recent events.

“Don’t even mention it! These past two days have been like black Sundays—fighting every day. Either we’re in a fight or on the way to one.”

Dan Heng nodded.

“Yeah, and right now, we have no leads whatsoever on the Star Core.”

March Seven asked curiously,

“Ye Yun, do you have any clues about the Star Core on your side?”

Ye Yun shook his head.

“No, I just arrived in the Lower District yesterday.”

Of course, Ye Yun knew more, but since this expedition was a trial for Ye, March Seven, and Dan Heng, it was better for them to find answers on their own.

March Seven noticed the others.

“Ye Yun, are these new friends of yours? And... this deer... it can actually emit flames!” March Seven examined Sheer and the others, looking closely until his eyes brightened upon seeing Rios standing behind.

Rios was utterly speechless. These humans really had no worldly experience.

Everyone looked at him as if seeing a marvel. Isn’t it normal for a fire elemental spirit to carry flames?

Ye Yun introduced them.

“This is Sheer, and these two youngsters are Hook and Clara. All three are natives of the Lower District.”

“As for this deer... its name is Rios, and it’s my spirit.”

Upon hearing this, March Seven casually greeted Sheer, Hook, and Clara, then turned his attention to Rios.

Now, March Seven was completely captivated by Rios.

“A spirit? What exactly is a spirit?”

Ye Yun explained,

“A spirit is a favored child of heaven and earth, born with the power to control various elements and possessing high intelligence.”

“Rios is a fire spirit, and one of the stronger types among them.”

March Seven let out an exaggerated “Oh!” then tugged on Ye Yun’s sleeve, whispering close to his ear.

“Ye Yun, where did you get that spirit? I want one too!”

After speaking, March Seven looked at Ye Yun expectantly.

Ye Yun smiled, snapped his fingers, and three “Spirit Cores” wrapped in bubbles appeared before everyone.

“These are random Spirit Cores. Buying one grants you a random spirit.”

“You can hatch your spirit using a Spirit Core Incubator.”

“These three represent the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, each capable of hatching different spirits.

Beginner - 1,000 Star Coins

Intermediate - 10,000 Star Coins

Advanced - 100,000 Star Coins.”

Ye Yun opened his palm.

“So, what do you think? Want to try?”

After hearing Ye Yun’s explanation, March Seven immediately took out the ten Star Orbs he had acquired over the past two days and exchanged 1,000 Star Coins to buy a beginner Spirit Core.

Eagerly, March Seven asked,

“Ye Yun, where’s the incubator? Let me use it.”

To March Seven, since Ye Yun already had Rios, he must have the incubator.

But Ye Yun’s mind blanked—Rios had come directly to him, not through Spirit Core hatching.

Seeing the incubator cost 5,000 Star Coins, Ye Yun simply bought one straight away.

He placed the Spirit Core Incubator indoors.

“Here it is, you guys can use it.”

March Seven, brimming with excitement, rushed to the incubator, quickly opened the lid, placed the Spirit Core inside, and pressed the start button.

The countdown on the incubator’s screen flickered before settling at:

[9:59:59]

March Seven looked surprised.

“Ah? It takes ten hours?”

Ye Yun nodded.

“Yes, the stronger the spirit, the longer the incubation time. Just wait patiently.”

Seeing this, March Seven could only pull up a stool and stare dull-eyed at the incubating Spirit Core.

At that moment, Dan Heng asked,

“Ye Yun, what about your strength...?”

Ye Yun, hearing Dan Heng’s question about his power, explained,

“I’ve been lucky to break through.”

After completing the deal with Natasha, Ye Yun had reached the Envoy rank and received a new mission.

[Mission 3: Achieve 10 million Star Coins in turnover.

Reward: Peak Envoy strength.]

Ten million—tch, that was definitely impossible in the short term.

Dan Heng didn’t ask further, as long as Ye Yun wouldn’t harm them.

Ye Yun glanced at Xing, sound asleep on the bed—this guy probably needed another day or two to rest.

“Dan Heng, March, have you eaten?”

Both shook their heads.

Looking at the time, it was nearly noon.

“Then let’s eat together. I’ll make hot pot for lunch.”

Neither objected.

As for Hook and Clara, of course they’d eat with them.

Ye Yun then looked at Sheer.

“Lunch together?”

Sheer nodded.

“Sure, if someone’s treating, I’m definitely eating.”

Ye Yun smiled.

“Alright, let’s get ready.”

He purchased a “Supreme Brand” hot pot gift pack through the system.

Sheer took charge of washing vegetables, Dan Heng moved tables and stools, March Seven entertained the two little ones.

Rios lay resting on a blanket while Ye Yun prepared the broth.

In just half an hour, everyone was enjoying hot pot.

Sheer ate with great delight, even when the spice became overwhelming, she kept eating.

Dan Heng and March Seven also loved the hot pot, and Ye Yun himself thought it was the best hot pot he’d ever tasted.

In front of the two little ones were bowls of boiling water to scald their food.

As they ate, another appeared at the table.

Xing had woken up early—awakened by the aroma of hot pot!

Ye Yun was astonished. Goodness, a hot pot meal changing the original storyline?

At this moment, Xing was slurping sweet potato noodles with eyes half-closed in enjoyment.

Looking around the table, Ye Yun suddenly remembered something—weren’t they missing someone?

“March, didn’t Natasha say there were four of you traveling together?”

Ye Yun hadn’t heard Natasha say that; he made up the line to cover how he knew there were four.

This wouldn’t be challenged, as March Seven and the others wouldn’t ask Natasha just because of this.

March Seven shook his head.

“No idea~ When I woke up, it was just the three of us.”

Dan Heng also shook his head, indicating ignorance.

Ye Yun stroked his chin. It seemed Brunonia must have woken early and was probably taking a stroll in the Lower District.

March Seven took a sip of orange juice.

“What’s up, Ye Yun?”

Ye Yun shook his head.

“Nothing, let’s keep eating. After this, you still have work to do.”

At the mention of work, March Seven’s head drooped dejectedly.

“Sigh~ I don’t want to work. Where the hell is this damned Star Core?”

Xing pointed at his chest.

“Here!”

March Seven rolled his eyes in exasperation at Xing.
