Chapter 1962 - 1962 Double Win Luck

1962 Double Win Luck

The ever-calm Luo Lan could not help but scream like a deer seconds away from being hunted, “I want to! I even dream of it!”

After letting out her true thoughts, Luo Lan immediately realized she had lost control of herself.

At that moment, the calm voice said again, “Of course you want to. Before you came here, you had already decided to give up everything in order to fulfill this wish! Now, you can make the choice. Are you going to continue floating down the Ice Wave River until you eventually become the next meal of some aquatic beast and allow it to be fed, unlike your subjects who are starving, or are you going to form a contract with the seat behind you to become a member of the Astronomical Parliament so I can help you return to the imperial court?”

Luo Lan had calmed down, and Lin Yuan’s words put her in a contemplative state.

!!

A wish made in the midst of despair and another made in a calm state were completely different.

As the first princess of the Iron Hammer Federation, Luo Lan was well aware that once she gave up everything and accepted the deliverance of the figure before her, she would no longer be herself but a chess piece belonging to this figure. By extension, the Iron Hammer Federation would also become just another piece on the figure’s chessboard that he would be able to control as he wished. Even if she did become queen of the Iron Hammer Federation, she would be helpless to defy him.

Her sense of responsibility overwhelmed her hatred and desire to survive.

She narrowed her eyes at Lin Yuan and said with a dry yet resolute voice, “I can become one of your chess pieces, free for you to place as you please, but I want you to promise me something. Once I return to the imperial court, you cannot interfere with my allocation of food and rations.”

Previously, Lin Yuan only saw as an idealistic princess on the lam.

What Luo Lan said caused Lin Yuan to look at her in a different light.

When she did not receive a response after a pregnant silence, Luo Lan sunk deeper into depression.

Just as she was about to hit rock bottom, the figure seated on the Leo throne finally said, “First, I want to remind you that you won’t become one of my chess pieces by joining the Astronomical Parliament. Instead, you’ll be my companion. Additionally, I will not only leave your allocation of food and rations alone, but I can also help you to eliminate the issue of hunger in the Iron Hammer Federation. Everyone’s bellies will be full, even during winter.”

In an instant, excitement and elation filled Luo Lan’s eyes.

She seemed to fear that Lin Yuan would go back on his words and immediately used her soul to form a contract with the north-south constellation seat behind her.

Ice-type spiritual ingredients were useless in the Iron Hammer Federation during winter. The Divine Wood Federation also did not have a great need for ice-type spiritual ingredients.

But the opposite went for the Radiance Federation.

The 36 major cities were currently building mirror cities in the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift. All of the spirit qi professionals and city guards had to endure unbearable temperatures of above 50 degrees.

The temperature in the abyssal world was much higher than that of the abyss dimensional rift.

In such an environment, low-rank spirit qi professionals needed the help of ice-type feys to lower the temperature even if they continuously replenished their fluids.

Transferring the unused water- and ice-type feys from the Iron Hammer Federation to the Radiance Federation’s efforts in the abyssal world would be able to immediately solve the Radiance Federation’s issue.

Both Luo Lan and the Iron Hammer Federation were lucky that she had been called into the Astronomical Parliament.

Lin Yuan and the Radiance Federation were also lucky.

When Luo Lan heard what Lin Yuan said, her soul started to quiver with excitement. She was so overwhelmed that she even temporarily lost the ability to speak.

Lin Yuan calling her a companion instead of a chess piece utterly warmed her heart.

When a person was in a state of utter despondency, it was almost impossible to be seen as a companion.

Luo Lan did not have to worry about being deceived by the figure in front of her because she had nothing to lose.

At that moment, Luo Lan stepped out from the mire of despair and found hope in this gathering of stars.

Regardless of what the ending turned out to be, the people in the Iron Hammer Federation would be saved from starvation during winter.

Once Luo Lan settled her buzzing soul, she fixed her eyes seriously in Lin Yuan and Wen Yu’s direction as she bowed to them.

All the gratitude she felt was conveyed in the gaze of her silent bow.

After Wen Yu told Luo Lan to take her seat, she went on with selecting the 10th member of the Astronomical Parliament.
