Chapter 160 Lin Qike Uses the Spirit Summoning Talisman to Pass the Fox Spirit’s Test

Chapter 160 Lin Qike Passes the Fox Spirit's Test Using the Spirit Summoning Talisman

The agro-livestock plantation officially went live, wrapping up Yan Wei's team's work.

On the day of their departure, everyone in Yan Wei's team was reluctant to leave.

"Captain, you won't believe how Blaze ran me through the dungeon!

They whittled every monster down to a sliver of health, then sent them over one by one—I just had to tap them, and they died.

And from start to finish, all the rewards, even the first-kill bonus, were mine!"

"I heard Captain Shen personally gave orders to make sure we had the most supreme, red-carpet VIP treatment.

They even asked if my hand hurt from hitting monsters! Who could resist that? I was a goner right then—overbearing CEO vibes never go out of style!"

"Captain, I want to marry into Blaze—can you put in a good word and arrange that for me?

I’m very traditional—I love arranged marriages."

"Same here. No preference for gender, age, or even species. I think the pigs in their livestock pens are pretty great.

The chow they get would be more than enough for me—I’d eat whatever they eat, and I wouldn’t even have to work."

"It’s not that I’m just drawn to strength—I genuinely think Blaze’s good vibes work for me."

Yan Wei’s silence was deafening.

The day they arrived, it was the same shuttle, the same people—but these punks hadn’t had this attitude back then.

Yan Wei sighed, "I’ve already signed a consultant contract with Miss Wu Yue. From now on, whenever they encounter issues with planting or breeding, they’ll invite us to help solve them."

The shuttle fell silent for a second—

"YEAH!!"

"Captain!! I love you so much!!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Just like when they arrived, the sound of party poppers filled the air—welcoming them in, and now seeing them off.

But this time, there was no fear on the faces of Yan Wei’s team—nothing but grins and lingering looks.

Aunt Chen and Wu Yue waved goodbye with smiles.

Holding the consultant contract signed by Wu Yue and Yan Wei, Aunt Chen chuckled, "These knuckleheads—they’d cheerfully count their own ransom even if you sold them off."

Wu Yue said slyly, "We’re all friends here—how could you call it selling?

Besides, the people in Yan Wei’s team deal with major aristocratic families and corporate bigwigs all the time. They’re not fools.

Blaze gave them sincerity, and they returned the favor. With this give-and-take, connections happen naturally."

Over the party poppers, Wu Chong only caught the last part:

"With this give-and-take, connections happen naturally."

Wu Chong's eyes widened, "Together?! Who's together?! Yue Yue, are you and Yan Wei already together??

When did this happen?! How come I didn’t know!!

You’re not actually gonna marry into the Yan family, are you?!"

Wu Yue and Aunt Chen exchanged glances, "..." What the hell is he on about?!

Wu Yue, "Got pigs waiting for purification—gotta go."

Aunt Chen, "The freeze-lock gear’s here. I need to personally inspect it."

Seeing that neither of them paid him any attention and both left, Wu Chong threw a tantrum,

"Hey! Get back here!!

Spill it—are they a thing or not?!"

...

Shen Que, "I should get going."

Jian Suiyu, "You never stick around this long. Word is the Palace’s been scheming hard to drag you back.

Just the other day, they even released the list of future queen candidates."

Shen Que’s eyes went ice-cold with killing intent, "They’ve got a death wish."

Jian Suiyu, "Let’s go. The sooner we return, the sooner we can deal with it."

Just as Shen Que stood up, Wu Chong barged in like a bull.

He cupped his hand like he was sharing gossip, "You won’t believe what I just heard."

Shen Que ignored him and turned to leave.

Wu Chong, "Pfft. Giving me the cold shoulder?

I just heard Yue Yue straight-up say she and Yan Wei are together!

And when I asked her, they didn’t even deny it!"

Shen Que’s footsteps halted abruptly. Jian Suiyu raised an eyebrow in surprise, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

Wu Chong sighed, his expression sincere, "Is Yue Yue seriously marrying into the Yans?

Damn, I’ll miss her. Sis Xiuli always preached ‘live for yourself,’ y’know?

But whatever Yue Yue decides, I’ll respect her choice."

Jian Suiyu silently covered his mouth and turned away, barely holding back laughter.

Shen Que turned around and marched over to Wu Chong.

Wu Chong patted Shen Que’s shoulder, "Captain, don’t take it too hard. I believe no matter where Yue Yue goes, she’ll always be one of us! We’re a ride-or-die team, and I’ll always be Yue Yue’s best friend!"

"Whack!"

"Ow! The hell, Cap?! What was that for?!"

"Whack whack whack!"

"Agh! My bad, my bad, quit beating me, Cap! You'll kill me if you keep this up!"

Before leaving, Shen Que made sure to kick the door clean off its hinges.

The door panel soared three feet away before crashing down with a deafening CRASH!.

Jian Suiyu blinked, baffled—*Wait, Wu Chong was the one who got on your nerves, so why take it out on my deputy captain's office door?*

Wu Chong winced as he pulled himself up, "Did the Captain go looking for Yue Yue?"

Jian Suiyu shook his head, "No."

Wu Chong, "Why not?"

Jian Suiyu, "First, Wu Yue would never be with Yan Wei.

If even Shen Que doesn’t believe it, only a fool like you would.

Second, he's got his reasons."

The Squire Family behind Shen Que had been trying to control him with royal authority, forming factions to undermine him.

To provoke him further, they even proposed the absurd demand of forced breeding.

Even though Shen Qingci was an illegitimate child, he was forcibly recalled and pushed as the second heir to the throne just to control Shen Que.

Having lost his parents young, Shen Que grew up isolated and distrustful, put on that damn pedestal from the start.

He knew all too well that his top priority now was to shatter the royal court that had imprisoned him for the first twenty years of his life.

And he had no choice but to do so.

Otherwise, even Blaze would be wiped off the map.

After purifying the mutant boar, Chiyan Wuyue cut through the airfield on her way back to the dormitory, a shuttlecraft taking off behind her.

....

She and the shuttlecraft passed like ships in the night.

Back in her room, Wuyue checked her comms—she’d been so busy lately that messages had piled up.

The first to pop up was from Lin Qike:

Lin Qike: *Master Wu! Hey! Yu Wan and I finally passed the Fox spirit’s challenge.

At the critical moment, it was the ancient Luo Shen summoned by your Spirit Summoning Talisman that saved both our lives!

As thanks, we’d like to invite you to our home.

We truly hope you’ll give us this chance to express our gratitude.*

Only then did Wuyue recall seeing the notification days earlier on the alliance channel about the couple beating the Fox spirit quest.

At the time, she’d been too swamped with agricultural affairs to send her congratulations right away.

Kicking herself for forgetting, she immediately replied:

Chiyan Wuyue: *Really sorry about that for not shooting you congrats sooner. Stoked that you and Yu Wan have got the Fox spirit’s blessing to start your family together.

Lin bro, count me in.*
