Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 749 - 483 That Profound Love_1

On the return journey, Feng Yi was in a good mood, sometimes playfully teasing the small animals he encountered, and of course, helping those troubled by marine litter.

The weather on the way was also to his liking, without any storms or waves.

At dawn, Feng Yi came across a yacht, with several people fishing.

Listening to their conversation, they had been out since yesterday, fishing all night. While the rest on the boat were discussing the night’s catch, one person not engaging in the topic was guarding his rod, complaining, "I’ve been watching all night and only caught some marine litter! I refuse to believe I won’t catch a single fish today!"

Observing the reaction of the nearby shoals, Feng Yi thought that this person might end up going home in tears.

After quietly observing for a while and finding it unbearable to watch any longer, Feng Yi attached a fish to his hook.

Without staying to see their reactions, Feng Yi swam a good distance away but could still hear the joyous cries of excitement from the person on the boat.

That person really thought he caught it himself!

Feng Yi flipped over in the water, lying on his back and swimming, watching the changes in the scenery on the water’s surface as the sun rose.

With this relaxed and playful mindset, the return journey took a bit longer than the trip out.

The first to notice Feng Yi’s return on his private island was Xin, who was patrolling the island.

Xin didn’t spot Feng Yi immediately,

The marine iguanas that usually basked on the rocks, sunning themselves, were now hurriedly crawling toward the island in the opposite direction of the sea.

Other marine iguanas that were feeding in the water were panic-stricken, scrambling to shore.

These little animals, usually well-behaved and reclusive, were suddenly displaying such abnormal behavior that Xin took notice immediately, thinking someone might have trespassed on this private domain.

Or perhaps there were other sea creatures threatening the marine iguanas.

The island’s smart defense system hadn’t issued any warnings, but Xin remained alert, sending a caution message to his friends and rushing over with his gun.

Then he saw...

Feng Yi sitting on a rock behind a slightly larger boulder, holding a marine iguana and giving it a full-body SPA.

Xin stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded.

The scene was so beautiful and harmonious that he didn’t have the heart to interrupt.

However, in reality...

The marine iguana that Feng Yi had caught, although not in a state of death feigning, was so stiff that it didn’t struggle at all.

Its ferocious and fierce face seemed to have a hint of collapse on it now.

The sharp claws and raised spines were useless.

The naturally curved lips appeared to be helplessly grimacing.

Knowing that Xin was coming over, Feng Yi glanced at him and said,

"I randomly picked one to do a full-body check. Its health is not bad, but its body... it looks a bit too plump."

Oh, that familiar plumpness.

With a fat and lush appearance, it’s a good thing there aren’t any curious cats or dogs on the island, nor predatory hawks in the sky.

As Feng Yi approached the island, he hadn’t intended to land on this side with the rocky beach. But, sensing the presence of the marine iguanas as he got closer, he suddenly remembered the giant beast Serpan he had discovered in the jungle.

The main reason for Serpan’s enormous size was because a certain clansman had lent a hand.

Years later, there was still a faint energy reaction in Serpan’s remains. Feng Yi could approximate how strong the active energy reaction inside Serpan was when it was alive.

In this era, the animals that had significantly changed in size due to Feng Yi’s influence included not only the koi in the scenic pond next to the house by Cui Lake, but also the adopted python "Little Koi" at the Yang City Zoo, and finally, these marine iguanas that inadvertently settled on the island.

While Feng Yi was checking their health, he also checked the energy reactions inside them.

It was alright, their intensity was similar to the fat fish in the pond at home, not enough to grow into a size that would astonish people.

Neither these marine iguanas nor the fish in the scenic pond had experienced being infused vigorously with vitality factors by Feng Yi.

The only one who had this experience was the small python in the zoo.

Oh no, it’s not small anymore; it’s over two meters long now!

No longer the little cutie that could coil around a finger.

It has grown much stronger than the other pythons hatched around the same time and has the potential to grow even larger.

Hmm, I’ll have to take a closer look when I return to Yang City Zoo.

Feng Yi put the marine iguana back into the sea and washed his hands with seawater.

Jia and the others who received the message also arrived.

Feng Yi took the bathrobe handed over by Jia and put it on, walking towards the island.

Wu adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked, "How was the trip this time?"

Feng Yi, "Very good! Overall, very beneficial! I also experienced a splendid shock!"

The molting went smoothly, and the first tentative interactions with the Butterfly Project team were satisfactory. He also got answers to his most pressing questions.

The corners of Wu’s eyebrows subtly rose.

Seeing Feng Yi’s excitement, it was obvious that he had encountered a plan he was interested in and had come out ahead.

Though looking somewhat weak, his spirits were high,

Wu said, "Let’s go for a check-up first."

Feng Yi nodded, "Just do a simple check-up for now, the rest, let’s talk after I have a meal. I’m hungry."

"Alright. Bing is already preparing the meal."

As Wu spoke, he surveyed Feng Yi.

Before departure, Feng Yi’s slimness wasn’t noticeable, but now he really seemed to have lost a layer of fat.

Wu was also very curious about Feng Yi’s experiences this time around and truly wished he could tag along for a look, even if it was just as a distant observer.

As for the meteorological weapons, he was interested but not overly so; what he was more eager to find out was how Feng Yi himself had changed during the confrontation:

What was the working intensity of his muscles like? What about heat production?

How much had his breathing frequency and the oxygen carried by his blood changed?

Did the utilization rate of his brain exhibit any significant fluctuations?

And what magical properties might occur in the signaling pathways within his cells?

Moreover, when facing threats, were there qualitative and quantitative changes in his venom?

There were simply too many curious questions.

Alas, with his mortal eyes, even if Feng Yi was willing to take him along as an observer, he wouldn’t be able to stay safely.

Upon returning to his own turf and replenishing his food supply, Feng Yi conducted a body check-up and then collected venom. Venom collected right after shedding had to be sent promptly to the laboratory at the Ancestral Factory, as there might be new discoveries.

After staying on the island for two more days and getting past the weak phase, Feng Yi and Jia together headed back to their country.

Xin continued to stay on the island, and the construction workers would soon return to continue with the remaining renovation projects.

Back in Yang City.

The moment the butler saw Feng Yi, his eyes suddenly moistened with tears that he nearly couldn’t hold back.

He didn’t even repeat his usual ’you’ve lost weight’ as before; instead, he took out his phone, his expression turning serious, and seemed to send out some message.

Half an hour later, two refrigerated transport trucks delivered goods to the doorstep.

Feng Yi: "..."

That really wasn’t necessary, truly not necessary!

One truck would have been enough, why send two?! How could he possibly eat it all?!

The second truck could have been delivered in a couple of days.

Yet, the butler’s deep and profound love was quite fragrant.

He could smell it from afar.

Bing and the others were moving things into the cold storage downstairs, while Feng Yi went upstairs to tidy up a bit and browse through the messages on his phone.

Director He had left him a message, asking him to attend a meeting in Jing City after returning to the country, to discuss matters related to the giant beast Serpent, as there were still many questions that required Feng Yi’s presence to address.

Steve was still at the tropical research center on the other side of the ocean, hopelessly captivated by the "beauty" there, not willing to come back to the country at this time.

Therefore, Feng Yi would have to travel to Jing City for the meeting alone.

He was not afraid of attending meetings; when he had decided to let the giant Serpent see the light of day again, he had already figured out how to weave ... cough, how to report.

Checking the time, Feng Yi immediately called Director He.

The call was quickly connected.

"You’re back already?" Director He had also just flown back from across the ocean yesterday and knew that Feng Yi was still on vacation, so he had only left a message.

At the time, due to the trending search, Feng Yi had excused himself for a vacation to find some peace, and Director He thought Feng Yi was still on vacation throughout these days.

"I just got back today, a bit tired. I saw your message; the meeting is scheduled for next week? I’ll rest at home for a few days first and adjust my condition."

He talked with Director He about the progress of the restoration work on the giant Serpent, which couldn’t be finished shortly, but the complete computer model built from the bones had passed the expert panel’s review.

That meant Feng Yi could now start working on the model of the giant Serpent! Knowing that various herpetology institutes and large natural history museums around the world had begun placing orders for life-sized models, Feng Yi also took this opportunity to reserve a set.

It wasn’t an order just anyone could place, but Feng Yi, as the discoverer of the giant Serpent, had a special status and could enjoy this privilege, and moreover, his order was prioritized.

The true form of the giant Serpent needed to be displayed in its native land, but Feng Yi had to keep a set of models, which he would place in his own museum.

Perhaps, in terms of the materials used, this newly ordered model wouldn’t compare to the high-priced ones he had custom-ordered before. But in terms of structural rigor, professional was professional; Feng Yi still had great faith in the experts’ abilities.

Director He was extremely busy, so the call didn’t last very long.

"Alright, then, you rest up these days, adjust to the time difference, take care of your work at hand, and come to Jing City for the meeting on time next week," Director He said.

"Okay, see you next week."

The call ended, and suddenly, Feng Yi paused.

A delayed realization hit him.

Eh?

What did Director He just say?

The work at hand?

What work?

Ah, that’s right! The research in the rainforest!

Feng Yi remembered now.

He hadn’t gone to the opposite side of the ocean to find the giant beast, but rather just to conduct a field study, to capture more footage. Discovering the giant Serpent was just a pleasant surprise during the fieldwork.

Now that the pleasant surprise was over, his professional duties lay before him.

Director He had mentioned it in the call to remind him that many people, who couldn’t get involved with the giant Serpent affair, had refocused their attention on Feng Yi’s field reports and footage.

The final comment from Director He was to remind Feng Yi to wrap up these tasks before heading to the meeting.

Report + footage sorting + meeting preparation

Feng Yi stood there, holding the phone in his hand.

His mood suddenly grew heavy.
