Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 164: Going Out to Purchase_1

Yawning, Feng Yuan got out of bed at noon, took a shower, and changed his clothes before muttering to himself,

"I’m hungry, better go get something to eat... Oh, right, Big Cat, come out with me. After lunch, we’ll go buy your stuff."

"Mew~"

Seeing Big Cat shaking its head, Feng Yuan walked over to the desk, puzzled, and said,

"Where’s the list? I remember I put it here."

Noticing Big Cat shaking its head at him, Feng Yuan walked over and asked in confusion,

"What’s the matter with you?"

Big Cat pointed at the computer with its wing, shook its head, then pointed at Feng Yuan before pointing towards Feng Yuan’s bed. After a moment of thought, Feng Yuan said with uncertainty,

"Are you saying we don’t go shopping today and I should rest instead?"

"Mew~"

Seeing Big Cat nod, Feng Yuan smiled and patted Big Cat’s head, saying,

"Alright, I’m not that sleepy. Since I promised you yesterday, today is a good day to shop. Otherwise, we’d have to wait until next weekend."

Seeing Big Cat still hesitating, Feng Yuan said with a smile,

"Anyway, I’m not going to sleep later, so you decide."

Big Cat hesitated for a while before closing the computer and gently tapping on Xiao Ji’s little house as Feng Yuan whispered,

"Xiao Ji, time to get up. I’m heading out~"

Xiao Ji wiggled out of its little house, and Feng Yuan, amused, picked it up and placed it on his head. He chuckled and shook his head as he saw Big Cat willingly carrying the egg.

"Da Wang~ Charge~"

As soon as he reached the bottom of the dormitory building, a yellow Big Dog dashed past Feng Yuan. After running a big circle around the front, Big Dog stopped in front of Feng Yuan, panting with its tongue out. Xiao Ling, who was riding on Fluffy Dog’s back, looked dissatisfied as it stopped and said,

"Da Wang, why did you stop? Keep charging~"

Feng Yuan patted the fluffy head of Da Wang and glanced at Xiao Ling before asking,

"Where’s Teacher Mu? Isn’t she with you?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s question, Xiao Ling pointed upward with its mouth. Seeing the Good Will Green Bird flying overhead, staring intently at Xiao Ling, Feng Yuan understood immediately, smiled, patted Fluffy Dog’s head, and turned to leave. Xiao Ling, seeing Feng Yuan walk away without saying anything else, patted Da Wang’s back and said,

"What a strange person. Never mind him~ Da Wang, charge~"

Walking a little further, Feng Yuan saw Teacher Mu resting under a tree, sighed, and patted the Spirit Beast Egg on his chest. After having lunch and boarding the bus with Big Cat, he overheard people whispering about the terrifying bird that appeared the previous night. Feng Yuan gently said to Xiao Ji, who was lying on his head unmoving,

"Look, you’ve scared everyone~"

Xiao Ji responded weakly. Feng Yuan chuckled and poked Xiao Ji a few times. Xiao Ji, lying on Feng Yuan’s head, was too lazy to even call out and let Feng Yuan play with him. After a few pokes and no response, Feng Yuan lost interest and looked out the window.

"Closed for a week due to evacuation?"

Seeing the notice on the store door, Feng Yuan sighed in resignation and said to Big Cat,

"Are you in a hurry? If you are, we can go to the City Department Store. It’s a bit more expensive there, though. If not, I’ll come with you again next week."

Remembering that he didn’t rest in the afternoon and had accompanied Big Cat on an hour-long bus ride, Big Cat thought for a moment and then gestured. Seeing Big Cat’s action, Feng Yuan asked,

"To the City Department Store?"

"Mew~"

Big Cat nodded, and Feng Yuan sighed, patted Big Cat’s head, and said,

"Alright, the City Department Store is nearby. Once it’s handled, maybe I can still get a nap in when we get back."

Big Cat nodded happily. Upon reaching the City Department Store and observing its somewhat deserted appearance, Feng Yuan suddenly had an ominous hunch and murmured,

"Don’t tell me this place is closed too..."

Walking up to the entrance of the City Department Store and seeing that it was still open for business, Feng Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After entering with Big Cat, he pulled out his student ID and Big Cat’s lengthy list and handed it to the salesperson, who smiled awkwardly as they took it and then returned the student ID after checking, bowed slightly, and pointed to the nearby seating area, saying with a smile,

"Please wait a moment over there while we check if all the items are in stock."

Feng Yuan smiled, showing his understanding, and sat down with Big Cat. Seeing Big Cat looking at him curiously, Feng Yuan chuckled and rubbed Big Cat’s head, saying,

"You’ve got too many items on your list. I originally planned to look through a few stores to help you find everything, but since we’re already at the City Department Store, let’s buy it all in one go~"

Big Cat nodded to Feng Yuan and calmly sat beside him. After a while, the sales associate came over, respectfully handed the list to Feng Yuan with a smile, and said,

"We have all those items in stock, and for some items we have multiple brands available. Would you like me to show you around, or should we proceed with the purchase directly?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Big Cat, and Big Cat shook its head. Just as Feng Yuan was about to speak, the sales associate smiled and added,

"If you’re shopping for research equipment for the Traveler’s Owl, I would recommend taking it to see the items in person so you can choose what’s most suitable for it."

"Woo..."

Seeing Big Cat hesitate, Feng Yuan knew what it was worried about. After thinking for a moment, he said to the sales associate,

"Then you take it around to have a look. I’ll just rest here."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the sales associate looked at him in surprise. After Feng Yuan nudged Big Cat, he said,

"Go on, go choose some stuff with her. I was just about to take a nap anyway." freewёbnoνel.com

Seeing Big Cat willingly step forward and gesture, the sales associate smiled and bowed to Big Cat before saying,

"Please come with me, then."

As Big Cat followed the sales associate away, Feng Yuan yawned, placed Xiao Ji on the Spirit Beast Egg, and fell asleep on the sofa.

"No! He’s my classmate! You can’t do this!"

"That’s your problem!"

"I disagree!"

Hearing what seemed like an argument nearby, Feng Yuan rubbed his eyes, yawned, and noticed a long-haired woman curiously looking at him.

"What do you want?"

Looking at the woman, Feng Yuan asked warily. The woman gave a coquettish smile and said while looking at Xiao Ji in Feng Yuan’s arms,

"Your Eggshell Chicken looks very interesting. May I take a look at it?"

"Feng Yuan, ignore her!"

"Eh? Pei Yu?"

Seeing Pei Yu glaring angrily at the woman, Feng Yuan was puzzled. He swatted the woman’s hand away from Xiao Ji and said with dissatisfaction,

"What do you want?"

With a pitiful look, the woman said to Feng Yuan,

"I see that the Eggshell Chicken is well nurtured, and I’m just curious to have a look at it～"

"Eggshell Chickens are all the same; what’s so interesting to look at!"

Feng Yuan watched the woman warily as she covered her mouth with a laugh and said,

"Oh, come on～ I won’t do anything to it. I wouldn’t dare snatch a Spirit Beast in broad daylight～"

"Forget it then, if you won’t look, you won’t look. Stingy men aren’t going to be liked by girls, you know～"

Seeing Feng Yuan on guard and staring at her, the woman seemed somewhat helpless as she turned and left. Watching her go, Pei Yu said to Feng Yuan,

"It’s best you stay away from her, and don’t believe a word she says!"

As Pei Yu followed the woman away, Feng Yuan scratched his head in confusion. He looked at Xiao Ji, who was still sound asleep in front of him, shook his head with a smile, shifted to a more comfortable position on the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest. After a long time, the sales associate returned with Big Cat. Feng Yuan opened his eyes to see Big Cat looking slightly flushed, and the sales associate’s face showing a bit of helplessness. Scratching his head in puzzlement, he asked,

"What happened?"

"Well... Sir, if your Spirit Beast tends to wander off, please make sure to keep it with you. We can’t constantly keep an eye on every customer’s Spirit Beast..."

Recalling how, when leading the way earlier, he had lost sight of Big Cat, which had been following behind, the sales associate felt a headache coming on. Feng Yuan apologized with a touch of guilt,

"I’m sorry, I forgot about that. It’s just that it’s usually so well-behaved..."

"It’s okay, here’s your bill. Please check it."

Taking the bill the sales associate handed over, Feng Yuan glanced at it and passed it to Big Cat, saying,

"You look at it. You’re the one paying after all. Call me if there’s any issue."

"Woo～"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the sales associate looked at Big Cat in disbelief, with the corner of her mouth twitching.
