Chapter 1400: Luo Ya’s Change
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In less than half an hour, Luo Ya changed into the fur cloak made of the Diamond Purple Plum Leaping Deer’s fur and put on purple shoes.
With this new fur cloak, Luo Ya felt as though she had been elevated. After all, it looked as, if not more opulent than the white one that Jian Li wore.

Since Luo Ya and Luo De were leading them, Lin Yuan did not use Blackie. Instead, they rode on the Hurricane Owlet Moths.
The Hurricane Owlet Moths produced wind elements and held him aloft, so it looked as though he was standing on air.
Although Lin Yuan saw this as a modest decision, it was shocking in the eyes of Luo Ya and Luo De. They remained stunned by Lin Yuan and Liu Jie’s immense resources the entire journey.
!!
Although the 20 moth-species feys were not Fantasy Breed and could not be compared to the black flood dragon, they were still extraordinary to the Luo Ya and Luo De who lived in Phoebe Zhennan City.
Could this be how the disciples of secret elite families lived? They could change into two extravagant outfits a day and use two types of Diamond feys in a day. This was too luxurious!
Jian Li, Zhang Tong, and the head of the Zhang family had all come out personally to welcome Lin Yuan. The three of them had all put on clothes that they usually saved for important banquets and gatherings.
But now that they were looking at Lin Yuan, Ji Feng, and Liu Jie, they suddenly felt as though they were dressed rather plainly.
This should come as no surprise as they would look homely even if they were next to him in his white daily attire.
The way Lin Yuan and the other two were dressed and how they arrived at the banquet indicated to everyone present that they were true elite guests.
The head of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhen, had immediately become disappointed in Jian Li when Zhang Tong told him about what Jian Li had done.
Recently, Zhang Zhen had been weighing the costs and benefits of being supported by the Jian family.
From this incident with the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, it was clear that the Jian family was unreliable as they were ready to abandon the Zhang family whenever push came to shove.
The Zhang family had wanted the Jian family’s support in order to expand themselves. But if the Jian family could not help the Zhang family to the extent that the Zhang family needed them to, there would be no need for the Zhang family to desire the Jian family’s support no matter how powerful they were.
Nonetheless, they would still have to keep up appearances by flattering Jian Li, as it would do them no good to be on Jian Li’s bad side.
Night descended upon them, and the spirit qi released by the Spirit-Mouthed Gold nourished the 34 embroidered tiger images on his robe.
With every step that he took, he emanated the aura and might of a white tiger.
When Zhang Tong spotted Lin Yuan, he moved to welcome Lin Yuan as the host. However, he was stopped by Jian Li’s arm before he could even take the first step.
Jian Li quickly walked up to Lin Yuan and said, “How should I address you? You arrived in Phoebe Zhennan City rather unexpectedly. Your attire would be most impressive even in Sacred Forest City.”
Jian Li gave Lin Yuan a thumb’s up and beamed brightly. It was clear that he was trying to leave a good impression on Lin Yuan so as to form a link with him.
Lin Yuan’s eyebrow twitched. This attire was only considered above average in his wardrobe.

Wen Yu had recently made many clothes for him, and some even had heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls embedded in them. Compared with those clothes, this set seemed ordinary.
It was clear from what Jian Li said that he was trying to butter up Lin Yuan. However, it also allowed Lin Yuan to understand how the elites in Sacred Forest City lived.
Jian Li was #83 in the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence and would not be able to interact with those who were actually standing at the top in the Divine Wood Federation.
Yet, it seemed as though he had seen similar outfits before. This showed that the elite disciples in the Divine Wood Federation chased after opulence.
This was a good thing for Lin Yuan. The more they courted lavishness, the more Lin Yuan’s Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts would be worth.
Lin Yuan did not respond to Jian Li’s attempt at being friendly and said, “My last name is Lin.”
“Young Master Lin, everything that happened at Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard today was a misunderstanding. I hope you will forgive us. If you are ever in Sacred Forest City, please let me know, and I might be able to offer help in some way,” replied Jian Li with a smile.
Jian Li’s words exposed his true intentions. He did this because he knew that a person that could be decked out in such a way would not be interested in his small talk and pandering.
If he did not get to the main topic too, he might be seen as irritating.
Jian Li did not reveal his status, but Lin Yuan had already found out about it from Luo Ya.
From Jian Li’s words, he had hinted at a mutually beneficial relationship if Lin Yuan and he were to become acquainted. Such alliances were very common amongst the elites in the Divine Wood Federation.
At first, Lin Yuan had been trying to come up with a way to get closer to Jian Li at the banquet. But now, Jian Li had voluntarily reached out to him instead.
“I will be going to Sacred Forest City in the future, and I won’t hold back if there’s anything you can help with.”
Jian Li hurriedly turned and said, “The Zhang family has done a good job with this banquet. I asked them to add a few extra dishes. I hope that they suit your palate!”
Jian Li’s gaze landed on Luo Ya. One glance was enough for him to tell that the purple fur cloak she had on was far from ordinary.
The dark purple one she had on before had coarse fur and made her seem inelegant.
But this one reflected the starlight with a soft, light purple glow.
It was evident that his light purple fur cloak came from a Diamond fey.
However, the Luo family couldn’t have obtained this on their own because it would have bankrupted them.
Luo Ya had invited Lin Yuan to the Luo family’s residence that afternoon, and now she was wearing the Diamond cloak. Hence, there was no question where she had gotten it from.
Jian Li silently noted the Luo family’s good luck.
This Diamond fur cloak had to cost at least 1,000,000 Great Lush dollars. Even he, the direct descendant of an important aristocratic family in Sacred Forest City, did not own a fur cloak of such high quality.
