Chapter 305: Evolution III
Nearby, Meilin stood—no longer the unsure village girl from before. With her newly awakened Moon Radiance Emerald Lily, her aura had transformed entirely. Her once plain appearance now radiated natural elegance. Silvery moonlight hair flowed down her back like a waterfall, and her eyes gleamed with a cool, icy blue. Her skin had become smooth and fair, glowing faintly as if kissed by moonlight.
She looked more like a young noble princess now—easily standing alongside Natasha and Shuri, no longer out of place among girls who inherited legacies from Genshin characters.
Dave couldn’t help but smile.
"She’s finally caught up," he thought, "and she’s only going to grow stronger from here."
After distributing the cultivation techniques to everyone, Dave slipped out to get some air—and quickly found Mo Chen waiting for him near the side corridor, holding a small ledger in hand.
Mo Chen, as always, looked tidy and composed. Somewhere along the way, he had begun managing logistics for the group—handling expenses, overseeing purchases, and assisting the team like a professional steward. Whether Spirit Hall assigned him that role or he volunteered himself, Dave still wasn’t sure.
"Brother Dave, do you need something?" Mo Chen asked politely.
Dave raised an eyebrow. "Yeah. I need you to buy something."
Mo Chen nodded.
Dave continued, "Use our monthly allowance to buy eight pieces of 1,000-year Whale Gum."
Mo Chen blinked. "Whale... gum? You mean that Whale Gum?"
"Yeah," Dave said with a straight face.
