Star Odyssey

Chapter 621



Yan Xiaojing frowned and turned to look at the fatty. “Just head back as soon as the time on your futon is up. You’ve already made your family proud just by making it all the way here. Stay at the Budding Terrace for now, and perhaps you’ll be able to obtain a bit of fortune.” 

“I think that there might be a bloodline in the northwest,” Autumnfrost Qing said. 

Everyone looked at him in excitement. “Really? Brother Autumnfrost, what bloodline is it?”

Lu Yin looked at him curiously. A bloodline? How are they stored?

Autumnfrost Qing laughed. “This bloodline is very suitable for Fatty. It seems to be the Pompom Pig bloodline, which can be used to improve your bloodline.” 

The people in the crowd were shocked and they all looked at Autumnfrost Qing in confusion.

The fatty’s face went pale as he stared at Autumnfrost Qing in a daze. 

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. 

Seeing everyone’s perplexed expressions, Autumnfrost Qing exclaimed, “Oh, I forgot! That fatty has always told people that his bloodline is that of the black cow. I’m sorry, Fatty, but if that bloodline over there really is the Pompom Pig bloodline, then this will truly be your lucky day. Don’t give up this chance to become stronger just for your pride. It’s to the northwest, so you can head over and take a look.” 

“Hahahaha! Fatty, you actually have the Pompom Pig bloodline!” Sister Kui laughed.

The others taunted him as well.

Yan Xiaojing was shocked, as she hadn’t known that the fatty had the Pompom Pig bloodline, and had always believed that he possessed the Black Cow bloodline. Although the two bloodlines were rather similar, they had very different reputations. 

The fatty dropped his head, and his face was completely white. He clenched his fists tightly and wondered how Autumnfrost Qing could have discovered that he had the Pompom Pig bloodline! His reputation had been completely ruined now. Xiaojing would look down on him, not to mention that the entire Huang family had been disgraced. Autumnfrost Qing was truly a despicable person. 

Autumnfrost Qing smirked; how dare this useless fatty contest him for Xiaojing! If the Huang family still had an Imprinter, then Autumnfrost Qing would likely be a bit more wary of them, but the Huang family’s power had dwindled over the years, and they had even been forced to use up their ancestor’s past contributions to obtain a futon. They would never return to their peak again, so it was fine to insult this fatty. 

Suddenly, Autumnfrost Qing glanced over at a crack in the distance.

“Who’s that?” he shouted. He then immediately rushed over.

A hidden silhouette’s pupils constricted as a person dashed out from inside the crack, scurrying away at an impressive speed.

“Brother Autumnfrost, that’s the guy who attacked us in First Divine Gate!” Yan Xiaojing immediately recognized the person. 

Autumnfrost Qing slowed his chase, raised his right hand, and curled his fingers into claws. “Skyrender Claw.” The space around his right hand warped, and everyone present saw a massive claw appear in the sky that attacked the fleeing person.

He screamed, “Please spare me!”

There was a bang as the claw slammed him into the ground, leaving a deep gouge filled with blood. 

Lu Yin was stunned, as that was an extremely powerful attack just now. The fleeing person had used both his imprint and bloodline at the last moment, but all of his defensive abilities had been destroyed by that claw. That attack was comparable to a full force attack from someone ranked fortieth on the Top 100 Rankings. Furthermore, Autumnfrost Qing had merely released a casual attack, which meant that he might be even more powerful than Nightking Gu. 

The others moved forward and angrily looked down at the pool of blood.

“If not for him, Brother Lian and the rest wouldn’t have died,” Yan Xiaojing said.

Autumnfrost Qing commented, “Then he got what was due.”

The fatty looked at the pool of blood in fear. Fortunately, he hadn’t impulsively said anything rude to Autumnfrost Qing. Otherwise, he might have ended up with the same fate.

Yan Xiaojing glanced at the fatty and motioned for him to leave.

Autumnfrost Qing saw her movement and said, “Fatty, if you want to follow us, come back here in three days. I can take you to the Scripture Pavilion for Xiaojing’s sake, but that’s a dangerous place. You’ll have to depend on your own luck if you want to leave that place alive since I won’t be able to protect you the whole time.” 

Yan Xiaojing quickly interjected, “Brother Autumnfrost, there’s no need for that. Just let him head back.” 

“Alright, I’ll be here!” Yan Xiaojing’s pleas had provoked the fatty, and so he immediately agreed. He even asked for a favor. “Can I bring this brother along with me?” 

At that moment, Autumnfrost Qing finally noticed Lu Yin. Lu Yin had been very casual up to now, and he was also within his own domain. Thus, Autumnfrost Qing was unable to sense Lu Yin’s power. 

“Who is this?” Autumnfrost Qing asked, as he suddenly remembered the domain expert that he had sensed earlier. 

Yan Xiaojing introduced Lu Yin to Autumnfrost Qing, “He’s a deaf and mute person that we met on our way here. He helped both Fatty and me along the way.” 

“Brother Autumnfrost, don’t bring him along. He didn’t use his imprint even when we were surrounded by Shenjia Guardians! If he had used his full power, then Brother Lian and the others wouldn’t have died,” Sister Kui protested angrily. 

Autumnfrost Qing stared at Lu Yin. “I don’t care if you are truly deaf and mute. I’m thankful that you helped Xiaojing out before. However, you didn’t save my other friends, which cancels that out. You can follow us, but I won’t protect you.” 

Yan Xiaojing looked over at Lu Yin. 

Lu Yin blinked, and his expression was perplexed. This guy’s incredibly confident. 

The fatty tugged at Lu Yin and responded to Autumnfrost Qing, “We’ll meet here in three days.” 

Autumnfrost Qing waved as they left. 

Yan Xiaojing looked like she wanted to say something, but Huang San didn’t give her a chance to do anything as he immediately left with Lu Yin. He had been insulted just now, and so, he didn’t want to face Yan Xiaojing for the moment. 

Sometimes, loud and outspoken people like this fatty were the easiest ones to hurt. 

“Bro, am I completely pathetic? My bloodline’s been exposed,” the fatty complained bitterly. “Our bloodline is supposed to be a symbol of strength in the Progenitor of Bloodlines Territory. A good bloodline can even transform a person. Autumnfrost Qing publicly insulted me, and everyone—even Xiaojing—knows what his character is like. He’s petty, paranoid, and arrogant, but due to his family and bloodline, nobody cares about his character. 

“The Autumnfrost family is one of the few World Imprinter families in the Progenitor of Bloodlines Territory, and Elder Autumnfrost is their World Imprinter. Autumnfrost Qing is the direct heir to the Autumnfrost family, and he even possesses the Sky Overlord bloodline. Once that bloodline advances, it can become an invincible bloodline. It’s only slightly inferior to Teffa’s Ghost Racoon bloodline, and so, most people want to suck up to him.” 

The fatty looked at his hands. “Meanwhile, I have the Pompom Pig bloodline. What a joke…” 

Lu Yin quietly listened to his companion’s rant, but he didn’t have any time to console fatty since he was using his domain to observe the Budding Terrace. This platform was absolutely enormous, and he couldn’t even see the entire thing. 

The fatty finally stopped whining after a few hours, but Lu Yin had already sealed off his ears an hour into the rant. This stupid fatty nagged so often and complained about his life so much that even Lu Yin had started feeling slightly depressed. 

The Ghost Monkey had immediately asked Lu Yin to screen him off, as he’d rather be screened off than be forced to listen to the fatty’s complaints. 

The fatty suddenly sighed. “I feel much better now. Bro, you’re the best! I’ve finally finished venting all my frustrations.” 

But Lu Yin couldn’t hear him as he was instead looking at their surroundings. There weren’t any lucky opportunities nearby, only some people who occasionally walked past them from time to time. In particular, a certain fellow who they had just seen left after being shocked by something. 

Hang on, that’s not right. There are more and more people headed towards that direction. Lu Yin turned to look into the distance. 

Moments later, a group of five or six people walked past the two while curiously glancing at Lu Yin and the fatty. They then continued on in another direction. 

“Those people are from the Second Supreme Gate. The Daosource Sect has four main mountain gates: First Divine Gate, Second Supreme Gate, Third Azure Gate, and Fourth Imperial Gate. The Second Supreme Gate is near the First Divine Gate, but the Third Azure Gate and Fourth Imperial Gate are further away. Despite the Second Supreme Gate being closer, it still takes a few days to get to the Second Supreme Gate from First Divine Gate. It seems like this group of people plans to stay on the Budding Terrace, but that’s a pretty common occurrence,” the fatty explained. 

Lu Yin hadn’t known that there were three other gates in addition to the First Divine Gate, but with this information, he was able to guess that each gate had its own trials. 

“There are many fortunes on the Budding Terrace, and many people stay in this area to search for opportunities. Some of them have actually managed to find their destiny, and I wonder if Fat Bro will be lucky enough to find anything.” The fatty had finally recovered and was again calling himself Fat Bro. 

One day passed, but the fatty and Lu Yin didn’t find anything. The fatty kept cursing Autumnfrost Qing the whole time as there was clearly nothing in the northwestern region. Clearly, Autumnfrost Qing had used that moment to expose the fatty’s Pompom Pig bloodline and insult him. Although the fatty had already known that there wouldn’t be any bloodlines in this area, he still had to go and take a look. If he really could advance his bloodline, then his power would absolutely rise. 

Lu Yin had been using his domain the entire time, but he hadn’t seen more than ten people over the course of the entire day. The people who he had seen were about as strong as Yan Xiaojing, and none of them could compare to Autumnfrost Qing. He was truly an elite powerhouse of his generation. 

It wasn’t possible to have a large group of powerful people who were comparable to the top fifteen of the Top 100 Rankings. That list encompassed the youths from the seventy two weaves of the outerverse, the eight major flowzones of the Innerverse, the Starfall Sea, the Cosmic Sea, and many more areas of the Human Domain. One had to be extremely talented to step onto the Top 100 Rankings. For example, Northgate Lie was the only person who had managed to do so from all of Northline Flowzone. Despite his accomplishment, he was still ranked at the very bottom of the list. Although this was a weird place, it was impossible for there to be many equally powerful people here. 

Moreover, what Lu Yin wanted to find out about the most was the time limit of his futon. 

“Hey Bro, that person should be from the Progenitor of Combat Territory too!” the fatty exclaimed.

Lu Yin looked over and saw a young man slowly walk past them. He glanced at Lu Yin and the fatty, smiled, and then leisurely continued on his way. 

Lu Yin had already noticed this person long ago. He had retracted his domain because this person had discovered him as well. 

He was wary of this person, and compared to Autumnfrost Qing, Lu Yin was definitely more wary of this unknown person since he had disregarded Lu Yin even though he knew that the domain that he had sensed belonged to Lu Yin. 

“You people from the Progenitor of Combat Territory have a completely different vibe compared to the people from our Progenitor of Bloodlines Territory. I could instantly tell that he’s from the Progenitor of Combat Territory. Brother, you have the same vibe as well, but yours isn’t as good as that guy’s,” the fatty commented. 

Another day passed by, and the fatty had finally given up on finding a lucky chance. Thus, the two of them went back to where they separated from the group. 

“Although the Scripture Pavilion is dangerous, since that stupid Autumnfrost Qing will be with us, we probably won’t run into too much danger. He won’t dare to hurt us since that would damage his own reputation, and at worst, he’ll just insult us. So, Bro, we should keep following him. Actually, it would be perfect if we actually managed to find a destiny,” the fatty said hopefully. 

Lu Yin wasn’t planning on finding any fortunes since he had realized that the Daosource Sect had already existed for countless years. After the passage of so much time, all of the desirable destinies must have already been discovered and seized by other people. Thus, he definitely wouldn’t be able to find any. This was especially true since he had been traveling with the unlucky fatty; even if there were any lucky opportunities in their path, this guy had probably chased them all away. 

If not for the fact that he couldn’t find anyone better to get information out of, Lu Yin also would have abandoned the fatty. 

He couldn’t believe that he had still been taunted even though he was pretending to be deaf and mute.
