The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1057 - 411: The Rose Princess_2

"Danger! Run!"

GuaGua, pulling the Rose Princess, hurriedly fled into the distance.

Mo didn’t show any unhappy expression but still looked forward with anticipation as he chased after GuaGua and the Medicine Spirit, as if this friend was indispensable.

"Another creature of utter purity..." Ye Liuying couldn’t help but lament.

"Yes, a Medicine Beast born and nurtured by nature, an Innate ’Holy Saint Embryo’ that could grow to Perfection, it’s easy to imagine the strength of its bloodline."

Lieyang Mu Shoucong, with an envious face, praised lavishly:

"Moreover, it’s not only adept in healing, but also a rare combat-type Medicine Spirit that can scare away greedy predators without the need for an accompanying guardian beast..."

"The original founder of the Sepulchral Rose was truly a hero among men to maintain a long-term cooperation agreement with such a creature."

"Ye Yin really found a treasure. With this beast by his side, his survival ability skyrocketed."

"Found a treasure?"

Ye Liuying was taken aback, suddenly dubious:

"Ye Yin’s Authority is ’Survivor,’ and his survival skills and luck index are already maxed out."

"Could this be a manifestation of Ability? Not yet a saint but guarded by a Perfect-level Holy Beast, it’s a top-tier opportunity no matter where you go..."

"What then is Godslayer Asura? The biological son of the Goddess of Fortune?"

Lieyang Mu Shoucong curled his lip, mocking:

"Forget it, the world of freaks is beyond our understanding."

"Let’s quickly think about how to rescue Ye Mochou. Should we go in guns blazing, or should we dress up and assist secretly?"

"Regarding this, I already have a rough plan."

Ye Yin took out a scroll of a map, unfolded it, and shared with everyone:

"The Hai Xiong Clan’s vanguard troops are currently stationed in this territory called ’Emerald Cloud’."

"They are wealthy, with countless treasures, and from the beginning, they set up layer upon layer of Defensive Arrays. To infiltrate silently is only possible for those holding the very top-tier 9th Rank Authority whose Ability aligns with stealth and assassination. Otherwise, the probability of failure is huge."

"So cautious? That’s starkly different from the description of them being as rough as Barbarians!"

Lieyang Mu Shoucong knitted his brows, his mind racing with wild ideas.

"A head-on attack is feasible, but it’s a last resort, to be considered at the very end."

"Sneaking in is too difficult; we know nothing about the internal structure, and if we fall into a trap, Escape would be quite troublesome."

Ye Yin, perched beneath a roach scampering down, added:

"However, there’s good news—the Hai Xiong Clan has recently been recruiting elite Chefs, and they’ve been spending a lot of money to purchase rare ingredients."

"It seems they are preparing for a banquet. To host guests, naturally they’ll need food of a certain standard, not something mediocre."

"We could disguise ourselves as merchants, selling flesh from Holy Beasts."

"In the process, we can adjust our plan at any time, whether we opt for a bold, aggressive strategy or wait for the perfect opportunity with a more roundabout strategy... As long as we keep control of our options, we’ll have the initiative."

"I have no objections," Ye Hanjun nodded.

Ye Yin knew about this earlier and understood the current power distribution and ecological environment of the Cloud Sea better.

All he needed to do was "cooperate"; as for the methods and the price to pay, that was another matter.

"Three days later, we move."

"Apart from the Rose Princess, we must have no connection with the Sepulchral Rose at all, remember, remember..."

...

The wind of the Cloud Sea was as gentle as ever.

A huge carriage skimmed across the horizon, now and then stepping on the white clumps of clouds, hopping like a rabbit, spreading wings like an eagle, swiftly then slow, drawing people’s attention.

In a short while, the carriage began to slow down.

An endless emerald cloud appeared before it, like a guiding rainbow bridge, emitting a strong aura.

"Inform the Steward, traveling merchants bring meat of exotic beasts for trade!"

After the Soldier at the gate checked the letters from Ye Hanjun and Ye Yin and inspected the full carriage of meat, he shouted to the ’Communicating Flower’.

Disguised as merchants, Ye Hanjun and Ye Yin waited patiently.

Unexpectedly, after a long half-day wait, the so-called Steward didn’t seem to care about them at all, leaving them hanging at the door without any intention of hosting.

"Heh, it’s normal."

"Our Steward is a busy man, seeing him isn’t easy," the guard laughed heartily, rubbing his fingers together subtly with a wink.

"Understood."

Ye Yin remained calm; he had already given a "favor", but clearly, the guard was greedy and not yet satisfied.

"Here is a specialty from the Pepper Sea, the ’Dead Man Pepper Tea,’ capable of healing flesh from bones. It’s only reasonable for you brothers who guard the front lines to stock up on Spiritual Objects for survival."

Ye Hanjun offered up a gift of an entire ring, and the broad-shouldered Soldiers finally showed smiles of getting a good deal.

"Now, you tell me, how precisely valuable are your ingredients?"

"I’ll talk to the Soldiers by the Steward’s side, perhaps I could get you an advanced appointment to meet him, and in the end, you might sell at a high price!"

The 8th Rank Soldier Captain patted Ye Hanjun’s shoulder with a "you smart little brother" expression.

Ye Hanjun smiled, not being secretive, and directly took out an extremely fancy gift box to show:

"A piece of divine beast meat; would the Steward be interested?"

"Shh... why didn’t you say so earlier?!"

The Soldier Captain was startled, his air of superiority gone, his eyes widened and neck sweating, restlessly rubbing his palms, agitated:

"Whoa, you should have told us sooner!"
