Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 131 Conversation Under the Starry Sky_1

Teacher Yan and Qi Chen cleared a spot by the edge of the pool with three others, collecting dry grass to make a simple pillow. After a while, Yang Hongzhi and Xiao Hei came back dragging three huge wild boars. Qi Xiaoshuang, seeing Yang Hongzhi with Xiao Hui and Xiao Hei dragging the boars, said with some confusion,

"Bringing back wild boars, what do you think Xiao Hui will make of that?"

Qi Chen, somewhat speechlessly, looked at Qi Xiaoshuang and said,

"Spirit Beasts have nothing to do with ordinary animals... Spirit Beasts don’t consider animals similar to themselves as their kin. How could you make such a strange connection?"

It was then that Yang Hongzhi understood what Qi Xiaoshuang meant and gently patted Xiao Hui, saying,

"Don’t worry, Xiao Hui won’t mind this sort of thing. Xiao Hui personally took down these wild boars."

"Sorry, I was overthinking it."

"No worries～"

After dealing with the boars, everyone became concerned when they realized Feng Yuan hadn’t returned yet. As Qi Xiaoshuang was about to persuade the White Wolf Deity to look for Feng Yuan, Feng Yuan returned with a huge bundle of stuff. Qi Chen, somewhat annoyed, shouted at Feng Yuan,

"Where did you go? You took forever!"

"Looking for seasonings! The drought’s been pretty severe, plants along the way are starting to wither."

"Let me handle the seasonings first, wait for me."

Seeing that everyone had already prepared the meat, Feng Yuan hurriedly said to them. Teacher Yan, watching Feng Yuan fumbling with the seasonings, said,

"Let me help with that."

"Grind this into powder... then this..."

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Feng Yuan didn’t notice it was Teacher Yan who had spoken, giving instructions while handling the seasonings. After a while, Feng Yuan finished with the seasonings, wiped the sweat away, and suddenly realizing who it was, smiled radiantly at Teacher Yan. Teacher Yan, finding Feng Yuan’s reaction somewhat amusing, said,

"Only realizing it now?"

"Hehehe..."

"Alright, let’s get dinner ready."

Without waiting for Feng Yuan to say more, Teacher Yan took the seasonings and started preparing the meat. The White Wolf Deity, lying nearby, gently tapped its left paw, and the familiar bonfire appeared once more. Seeing the bonfire, Feng Yuan said with some helplessness,

"Feels like it wasn’t that long ago, and we’re once again relying on the White Wolf Deity’s bonfire to roast meat..."

"Uh... to say it that way is a bit..."

"Can’t help it, too many things have happened in Maomu City recently..."

Yang Hongzhi said somewhat helplessly. After handing out the roasted meat to Big Black and Xiao Tong, Teacher Yan held up some roast meat for the Myriad Sound Parrot and said,

"Actually, everyone has their share of troubles. Didn’t Chenhua City go through a rough patch last year..."

Feng Yuan sighed and said helplessly,

"We were watching the excitement back then... I remember we would occasionally discuss what happened in Chenhua City, and now it’s our turn this year..."

"Ji!"

Seeing the hand holding his roast meat suddenly lift, Xiao Ji, who was pecking at it, called out dissatisfied. Dreaming Dragon Baby, hugging its roast meat, disdainfully glanced at Xiao Ji. Feng Yuan looked at Big Cat using telekinesis to control its roast meat and told Xiao Ji,

"See, you should learn from Big Cat. Why on earth do I have to hold it for you?"

"You’re making things difficult for Xiao Ji... How can it learn from Big Cat without telekinesis?"

Qi Chen said to Feng Yuan with some exasperation while Feng Yuan ate the roast meat and added,

"Xiao Ji likes to learn all kinds of weird stuff, might as well give it something to do～"

"You... "

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly. After dinner, the White Wolf Deity conjured a stream of clear water. Feng Yuan, washing his hands in the stream, said with a tinge of regret,

"I had planned on washing my hands in Lei Tan～"

"Could you not stir up trouble..."

"Xiao Ji, come here, wash up～"

Feng Yuan cradled Xiao Ji in his arms, letting the bird wash its beak in the flowing water. With a twirl of his eyes, he slowly pushed Xiao Ji toward the stream. Sensing Feng Yuan’s mischievous intent, Xiao Ji turned and leaped from his grasp, pecking fiercely at Feng Yuan’s arm before landing on the ground and looking up at him with dissatisfaction.

"Serves you right!"

Watching Feng Yuan clutch his arm, Qi Chen spoke calmly. After rubbing the spot where Xiao Ji had pecked him, Feng Yuan, with a frown, rubbed Xiao Ji’s cheeks, saying

"Xiao Ji, really! Why peck me?"

"You know very well that Xiao Ji doesn’t like bathing, yet you do such things. You’re lucky he didn’t draw blood!"

Xiao Ji nodded in agreement with Qi Chen, eyeing Feng Yuan disapprovingly. Feng Yuan scratched his head and apologized to Xiao Ji. After pacifying Xiao Ji for a long while, he turned to the Dreaming Dragon Baby and said,

"Wash your paws for me; don’t think I didn’t notice that you haven’t cleaned them at all!"

Startled, the Dreaming Dragon Baby guiltily stretched its paws into the stream. It seemed to find the flowing water amusing and plunged into the water to swim joyfully.

At night, the White Wolf Deity shifted back into its massive form, curling into a crescent shape as it laid down. Feng Yuan picked up a grass pillow that everyone had made and placed it on the ground, then spread his robe out on the floor before lying down to gaze at the starry sky. Glancing at Big Cat standing nearby, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Aren’t you going to lie down?"

"Woof~"

"Aren’t you going to sleep with the White Wolf Deity as your pillow?"

Qi Xiaoshuang walked up to the White Wolf Deity, looking at Feng Yuan with some confusion. Without raising his head, Feng Yuan said,

"If you want to use him as a pillow, go ahead. The White Wolf Deity probably won’t mind, as long as you don’t find it too hot."

Somewhat skeptical, Qi Xiaoshuang leaned against the White Wolf Deity. After a while, unable to bear it, he stood up, took a grass pillow, and, imitating Feng Yuan, spread his robe on the ground next to the deity. Feng Yuan, addressing Xiao Ji who was shifting about restlessly on his belly, said,

"Xiao Ji, stop fidgeting. If you’re going to sleep, then sleep properly. Don’t keep moving around on me!"

"Ji!"

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with displeasure, deliberately stamping its claws. Feng Yuan reached into the grass pillow and pulled out a blade of grass, using it to tease Xiao Ji’s downy feathers. After being played with a few times, Xiao Ji jumped down from Feng Yuan’s belly, somewhat unhappy. The Dreaming Dragon Baby, coiled on top of Big Cat’s head, watched Xiao Ji and Feng Yuan playing around.

In the dead of night, the Azure Jiao quietly emerged from the water. The White Wolf Deity opened its eyes to glance at the sleeping figures and exchanged a meaningful look with the Azure Jiao. They closed their eyes and silently communicated. After a long while, the Azure Jiao opened its eyes and nodded to the White Wolf Deity, as if expressing both gratitude and relief.

"Do you really intend to follow history?"

Feng Yuan’s voice suddenly appeared in the Azure Jiao’s mind, accompanied by the sensation of Feng Yuan’s telekinetic energy. Puzzled, the Azure Jiao looked at the seemingly sound-asleep Feng Yuan.

"Doesn’t everyone have their little secrets?"

"Do you really plan to do the same as in history?"

"This, perhaps, is my best fate..."

"Don’t you think that’s harsh on Luo..."

"Since in history, he survived, there’s nothing to fear. I, am tired."

"Can’t you... wait for him to come back..."

"No... he will understand..."

"Did something happen to your previous tribe? I feel like you must have been the Protogenos Spirit Beast for a tribe..."

"Of course. If you can’t say, then never mind."

The Azure Jiao fell silent for quite some time. Just as Feng Yuan was about to withdraw his telekinetic energy, the Azure Jiao began to speak slowly,

"Originally, I had agreed with Jue to build the Azure Jiao Tribe into the strongest in the land. The name ’Azure Jiao Tribe’ was even forcibly changed by Jue at the time."

"If only it could have continued that way. But that day, unable to bear the solitude, I went out with Ye... By the time we rushed back... everyone was dead... A fearsome venomous snake had attacked the tribe..."

After looking through the images transmitted by the Azure Jiao, Feng Yuan sighed,

"The Venomous Bal... a Rare Level power Spirit Beast at the same level as you, huh..."

"Ye went mad at the time. I can still remember him covered in blood, frantically trying to inflict injury on the giant snake..."

"Although I killed it in the end, no one could come back..."
