Dan Heng saw that it was Ye Yun and relaxed.
Ye Yun smiled and waved.
"March, Dan Heng, how have these past two days been? Have you run into anything interesting?"
Hearing Ye Yun ask about her experiences over the last two days, March 7th thought back for a moment.
"Don't even ask! These past two days have basically been like Black Sunday; we've been fighting every day. If we aren't fighting, we're on our way to fight."
Dan Heng nodded.
"Mm, and besides, we still don't have a single clue regarding the Stellaron."
March 7th asked curiously.
"Ye Yun, do you have any clues about the Stellaron on your end?"
Ye Yun shook his head.
"None, I only just came to the Underworld yesterday myself."
Of course Ye Yun knew, but this Trailblaze Journey was a trial of experience for Stelle, March 7th, and Dan Heng, so it was better to let them find the answer themselves.
March 7th noticed the other people.
"Ye Yun, are these a few new friends you've made? And also, this deer... it can actually breathe fire!" March 7th looked Seele and the others over, and as she looked, she saw Leos standing in the back, her eyes instantly lighting up.
Leos was utterly speechless; these humans truly were uncultivated.
Everyone looked at it with a fuss the moment they saw it—wasn't it just being able to breathe fire? It was a Fire Spirit, so carrying fire on its body was completely normal, wasn't it?
Ye Yun introduced them.
"This is Seele, and there are two little kids, Hook and Clara. All three of them are locals from the Underworld."
"As for this deer, its name is Leos, and it's my spirit."
Hearing this, March 7th casually greeted Seele, Hook, and Clara, and then proceeded to ask about Leos.
Right now, March 7th's attention was entirely attracted by Leos.
"A spirit? What's a spirit?"
Ye Yun said.
"So-called spirits are the darlings of heaven and earth, naturally possessing the power to control all kinds of elements, and they also possess extremely high intelligence."
"Leos is a Fire Spirit, and a rather powerful kind amongst them at that."
Hearing this, March 7th let out an exaggerated "Oh," tugged on Ye Yun's sleeve, and leaned close to his ear to whisper secretively.
"Ye Yun, where did you get this spirit from? I want to get one too!"
Finished speaking, March 7th looked at Ye Yun with a face full of anticipation.
Ye Yun smiled and snapped his fingers, and three "essences" wrapped in bubbles appeared before everyone's eyes.
"These are random essences. After buying them, you can randomly obtain a spirit."
"You can hatch your own little spirit from this essence using an Essence Incubator."
"These three types are Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced; the spirits they can hatch are also different.
Primary: 1,000.
Intermediate: 10,000.
Advanced: 100,000."
Finished speaking, Ye Yun spread out his hands.
"How about it? Do you want to give it a try?"
Hearing Ye Yun's introduction, March 7th directly dug out the 10 Stellar Jades she had just obtained over the last two days to exchange for 1,000 Star Coins and purchase a primary essence.
Getting the essence, March 7th anxiously asked.
"Ye Yun, where's the incubator? Where is it? Let me use it."
In March 7th's view, since Ye Yun had Leos, he definitely had an incubator.
Ye Yun's brain kind of short-circuited, however; releasing Leos had happened directly without going through essence hatching.
He looked at the price of the incubator: a single incubator cost 5,000 Star Coins.
Ye Yun simply bought it outright.
Ye Yun placed the Essence Incubator inside the room.
"Here, this is it, go ahead and use it."
March 7th rushed up to the Essence Incubator with an excited expression, quickly opened the lid to put the essence inside, and then pressed the start button.
The countdown on the screen above the Essence Incubator shifted for a moment and finally changed to:
9:59:59
March 7th took one look.
"Ah? It takes 10 hours?"
Ye Yun nodded.
"That's right, the more powerful a spirit is, the longer the hatching time it requires. Just wait slowly."
Seeing this, March 7th had no choice but to pull over a stool, sit down beside the Essence Incubator, and stare boredly at the essence undergoing incubation.
At this moment, Dan Heng asked.
"Ye Yun, your strength—"
Hearing Dan Heng ask about his strength, Ye Yun explained.
"I had a stroke of luck and made a breakthrough."
After completing his transaction with Natasha, Ye Yun had already broken through to the Emissary-level and had also acquired a new quest.
Quest 3: reach a turnover of 10 million Star Coins.
Reward: peak Emissary-level strength.
10 million—tsk tsk, he definitely couldn't think about that in the short term.
Hearing this, Dan Heng didn't ask any further; as long as Ye Yun wouldn't harm him and the others, that was fine.
Ye Yun looked at Stelle, who was sleeping soundly on the bed; this fellow would probably still need to sleep for another day or two.
"Dan Heng, March, have you guys eaten yet?"
March 7th and Dan Heng shook their heads simultaneously.
Seeing this, Ye Yun checked the time; it was almost noon.
"Then let's eat together, I'll whip up a hotpot at noon."
Neither of them had any objections to this.
As for the two little ones, Hook and Clara, there was no need to ask—they would definitely eat with him.
Finally, Ye Yun looked at Seele.
"Together for lunch?"
Seele nodded.
"Fine, since someone is treating, of course I'll eat."
Ye Yun smiled.
"Alright, then let's get ready."
Ye Yun bought the "Peak Brand" hotpot feast gift pack from the system.
Seele was in charge of washing the vegetables, Dan Heng was in charge of moving the table and stools, and March 7th was in charge of taking the two little ones to play.
As for Leos, it lay flat on the carpet to rest, and Ye Yun was in charge of boiling the soup base.
In merely half an hour, everyone was already eating hotpot.
Seele ate with such joy that even when she couldn't stand the spiciness anymore, she still kept eating.
Dan Heng and March 7th also liked this hotpot very much, and when Ye Yun tasted it himself, he also felt that this was the best hotpot he had ever eaten.
A bowl of boiled water was placed in front of both little ones, and the vegetables they ate all had to be rinsed through the boiled water first.
As everyone ate, an extra person appeared at the dining table.
This fellow Stelle actually woke up early! The reason turned out to be that she was woken up by the aroma of the hotpot!
Ye Yun expressed extreme shock at this; good grief, a single hotpot changed the original plot?
Right now, Stelle was holding a small bowl, narrowing her eyes, and happily slurping up sweet potato noodles.
Ye Yun looked at the people at the table and suddenly remembered something—wasn't there still someone missing?
"March, didn't Natasha say there were four of you together?"
Natasha hadn't actually said that sentence; it was an excuse Ye Yun made up to conceal how he knew there were four of them in total.
This statement wouldn't be exposed either, as March 7th and the others certainly wouldn't go asking Natasha about it specifically on account of this sentence.
March 7th shook her head.
"I don't know~ I only saw the three of us as soon as I woke up."
Dan Heng also shook his head to indicate he had no idea.
Ye Yun rubbed his chin; it seemed Bronya should have woken up very early and was probably taking a walk to clear her mind in the Underworld right now.
March 7th took a sip of orange juice.
"What's wrong, Ye Yun?"
Ye Yun shook his head.
"Nothing, keep eating. You guys have to work after you finish eating."
At the mere mention of working, March 7th drooped her head despondently.
"Sigh~ I don't want to work, where on earth is this ghost of a Stellaron!"
Stelle pointed at her own chest.
"Right here!"
March 7th speechlessly rolled her eyes at Stelle.
