Hu Quan paused before saying, “Liu Jie, increasing your power is the most important thing at your age. You don’t have to specially prepare food for me the next time you come. I’ll be happy enough if you can grill some meat for me when you’re here. Your food is so good that I can’t control my appetite. If I eat too much, I’ll become lethargic, and it’ll affect the progress of the construction.”

Liu Jie shook his head and said, “Uncle Hu, it’s no trouble at all. I made this food when I was cooking meals in the mansion. It doesn’t take much extra time. You said that it’d pile on the happiness. More happiness is always better.”

Liu Jie knew that Hu Quan was afraid of taking up Liu Jie’s time.

Liu Jie was not good at expressing his feelings and would not say anything to the people close to him to show that he cared. Instead, he would silently use his actions to show them.

However, he had no clue that Hu Quan already knew how thoughtful Liu Jie was.

Hu Quan hated to eat pig intestines, but he liked various types of lamb and beef. No one else in the mansion liked to eat these, so it was impossible that Liu Jie made them part of his usual menu for the mansion.

Ji Feng had not seen Lin Yuan in days. When he had last been in the mansion, he had been too anxious to leave that he had not had the time to speak with Lin Yuan.

A week ago, the Karma Sword Lily had predicted that the Mother of Bloodbath would run into misfortune. But before Ji Feng could call Lin Yuan to tell him about this, the Karma Sword Lily had predicted that the Mother of Bloodbath’s misfortune would turn into fortune.

The type of prediction that involved misfortune progressing into fortune was extraordinary. The misfortune had to happen for the fortune to come after.

Because of this reason, Ji Feng had not told Lin Yuan about the prediction for fear that the Mother of Bloodbath would try to avoid the misfortune and end up missing out on the fortune.

Besides the prediction about the Mother of Bloodbath, the Karma Sword Lily had predicted last night that something important would happen to Lin Yuan. This event was so enormous that the Karma Sword Lily was not powerful enough to tell if it was going to be misfortune or fortune.

This made Ji Feng worried about Lin Yuan. But at the same time, he was afraid that if he told Lin Yuan about this unclear prediction, Lin Yuan would start to hesitate in his future actions.

After mulling over this dilemma, Ji Feng decided to tell Lin Yuan about this.

It would be fine if the event was going to be fortuitous. But if it was going to bring Lin Yuan misfortune, it could threaten his life. Thus, Ji Feng threw all caution to the wind.

Ji Feng called Lin Yuan aside and whispered the prediction to him.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, but his face did not display any worry or fear.

He had come a long way from that sickly boy in the Xia Region. Now, he had the confidence to take on any challenge.

Even if he encountered serious danger, he had no lack of people around him that he could turn to for help. The strongest helper he had was White Speak, who had returned to the marsh world to guard the territory.

After the battle with Shark Awn, Lin Yuan confirmed that White Speak would be able to utilize power that was just below Eternal power if it had Lin Yuan’s help.

White Speak had been able to conquer a pinnacle Immortal Sea Emperor using its Immortal body in the sea. Not even regular pinnacle Immortal feys would be able to achieve this.

Besides White Speak, Lin Yuan also had the Extreme Token the Moon Empress gave him.

These were all Lin Yuan’s safety nets.

It was often said that one had to be flexible enough to adapt to the situation at hand.

Lin Yuan was confident that he would be able to handle any challenge. Regardless of whether it was going to be fortune or misfortune, Lin Yuan would trudge steadily on.

When Ji Feng saw Lin Yuan’s expression, he knew that what he had told Lin Yuan had not brought any worry or hesitation to him.

Now, Ji Feng could relax.

At that moment, Lin Yuan prepared to walk around the exterior of the underground palace to see the progress of Silver Corona’s sea of bone lotus flowers.

When he walked out of the underground palace, he was immediately surprised by Silver Corona.

When Lin Yuan left, the sea of bone lotus flowers had only been about the size of a football field. But now, it was at least ten times larger.

According to Lin Yuan’s plan, the sea of flowers was supposed to reach the border of the Iron Hammer Federation.

Previously, the alien insects that poured forth from the Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift opened using the Shatter Spatial Stone had been consumed almost instantly by the merciless bone lotus flowers.

But now, Lin Yuan saw the Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift spit out bright green and fat alien insects. He knew that this was called the Acid Tapeworm.

The Acid Tapeworm relied on the acid in its body to attack and had one of the weaker defenses amongst the Class 3 alien insects. But despite its weak defense, it was still a Class 3 alien insect.

Before the Acid Tapeworm could struggle in the sea of bone lotus flowers, it was immediately trampled over by the bone insects. The bone insects easily broke through the Acid Tapeworm’s skin and entered its body.

The Acid Tapeworm cried out in pain. Acid flowed out of its body and caused the bone lotus flowers around it to rot.

At that moment, a shadow of a hand holding a scythe suddenly appeared next to the Acid Tapeworm and sliced it up. A one-meter-long gash was left on the Acid Tapeworm’s back.

Green acid shot out of the one-meter-long gash. Before the acid could land on the shadow of a hand holding a scythe, the shadow melted into the white mist.

The Acid Tapeworm’s eyes looked suspicious as to the disappearance of its enemy.

The hand holding the scythe appeared above the Acid Tapeworm’s head. It sliced downward and plunged the half-meter-long scythe into the Acid Tapeworm’s head. The Acid Tapeworm lost its life in a flash.

Lin Yuan immediately linked the shadow of a hand holding a scythe to the Hermit’s Dead Servant. It must have been produced while the sea of flowers had been killing the waves of alien insects.

When Lin Yuan left, Silver Corona had only been Bronze III/Elite. But in the short span of five days, it had reached Bronze VI/Flawless.

This speed of evolution showed that Silver Corona was a carcinoma fey whose true self lay in conquering and destroying.

The more souls the hermit dead servants consumed, the stronger they would become.

It was clear that they had not reached their full strength. Yet, they were already able to kill a Class 3 alien insect of relatively equal power as a Gold fey when Silver Corona was only Bronze grade.

Lin Yuan could not imagine how terrifying the bone powder mist would become after the hermit dead servants consumed even more souls.
