Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 166 Hidden Danger_1

Qi Chen stared at Feng Yuan with annoyance and said

"What were you up to last night!"

"What did I do?"

"Don’t tell me that the black giant bird last night wasn’t Xiao Ji! With Coming of the Future’s distinctive appearance, do you think I could mistake it?"

"This..."

Feng Yuan scratched his face guiltily with his index finger, and Qi Chen sighed before saying,

"Did you run into danger? Can’t you stay away from dangerous places when there’s no need?"

Feng Yuan sighed, took Xiao Ji off his head, sat down on the bed, and explained to Qi Chen what had happened last night. After hearing Feng Yuan’s account, Qi Chen fell silent, then said helplessly after a long while,

"I hadn’t expected such a thing to happen... If the past is rectified, then that little girl named Xiao Ling should be alright, shouldn’t she?"

"She should be, since she made direct contact with the Transcend Sect, but I’m not entirely certain..."

Seeing Feng Yuan’s uncertainty, Qi Chen sighed and said,

"I didn’t expect the cost to be so huge."

After all, being too selfish means that to bring lost knowledge back to the modern era through altering time, one must pay a heavy price. Even Drudgeon’s divine prerogatives come with significant restrictions, otherwise why would Drudgeon not readily impart lost knowledge."

"By the way, Big Cat, if you’re going to do it, do it in the daytime, don’t stay up playing with your stuff and not sleep. It’s best to get a good rest at night."

"Meow~"

Big Cat nodded at Feng Yuan excitedly, and Qi Chen, puzzled, said,

"What is it trying to do? Have you found a new research direction for Big Cat?"

"No, Big Cat wants to put together a gaming setup, and this afternoon was about going to buy parts with it, and we dropped by the crappy Night Star Restaurant on the way. If it weren’t for having a discount coupon, I’d have let Xiao Ji rip that black market establishment to pieces!"

"Meow?!"

"Night Star? Isn’t that a high-class restaurant? Moreover, I remember it had a pretty good reputation."

"Who said that? Only after the fifty percent discount did the price match the taste; if not a rip-off, then what?"

"Meow..."

Seeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby looking at him with teary eyes, Feng Yuan realized he’d spoken carelessly and rubbed his forehead, trying to appease the Dreaming Dragon Baby with a smile,

"That food wasn’t all that great, and you were asleep at the time, weren’t you..."

"Meow..."

"Really, I’m telling the truth, the food wasn’t particularly delicious. If you don’t believe me, ask Xiao Ji!"

Seeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby looking at him, Xiao Ji chest-puffed with pride and chirped something, making the Dreaming Dragon Baby look more aggrieved. Feng Yuan couldn’t help but chide Xiao Ji,

"You better not be talking nonsense! How could their food be tastier than what I make!"

"Ji~"

Seeing Xiao Ji’s proud demeanor, the Dreaming Dragon Baby wiped away tears with a little paw and angrily burrowed under its blanket, leaving just the tip of its tail sticking out, and flicking it back and forth. Qi Chen, somewhat speechless, said,

"I believe you when you say it wasn’t good. After all, Night Star is known for its service and ambiance. You going there alone to eat..."

Qi Chen said with a sigh and added helplessly,

"Don’t you know it’s the premier spot for social gatherings and meetings..."

"Eh? That’s a thing?"

"Didn’t you check the introduction before you went?"

Seeing Feng Yuan’s surprised look, Qi Chen said exasperatedly, scratching his head. Feng Yuan, smiling broadly, said,

"I just wanted to try it out—they gave me a discount coupon. How would I know it was like that."

Qi Chen didn’t know what to say to Feng Yuan.

The next day during class, as the free training session began, Teacher Yan approached Feng Yuan and whispered,

"If you’ve rectified the problems left by Captain Yang and the others, will Xiao Ling recover?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji, who was training hard, and said,

"Not necessarily. If the rectification of time considers it an inevitable event... then other unforeseen circumstances will arise to fill the gap..."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Teacher Yan seemed troubled. Feng Yuan gave a reassuring smile and said,

"Of course, under normal circumstances, such things don’t occur—unless they’re delayed for too long."

"Is it still not possible to rectify it now?"

"Not yet..."

Feng Yuan said with a sigh, looking at the Spirit Beast Egg he held. Recalling something, he asked curiously,

"Is Xiao Ling Captain Yang’s daughter? I remember that Captain Yang’s public information states he’s unmarried, right?"

Watching Feng Yuan gossip, Teacher Yan sighed and said,

"No, she’s... much like you..."

"Much like me?"

Feng Yuan didn’t catch on at first, but after a moment, he suddenly realized something and exclaimed in surprise,

"Are you saying she’s an orphan?"

Teacher Yan looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion, sighed, and said,

"Yes, she and Xiao Mu are both children from the Star Welfare Institute..."

"As for Captain Yang, his connection to the welfare institute isn’t that significant, although it’s said that he had some ties with the former head of the institute, Director Mu."

"That Fluffy Dog was specifically brought by him to give to the welfare institute."

Hearing Teacher Yan’s explanation, Feng Yuan seemed to understand and said,

"No wonder she has the company of a Fluffy Dog. I was curious why someone who could afford a Fluffy Dog would dress so poorly~"

Teacher Yan sighed and, looking into the distance, said softly,

"I hope Xiao Ling gets better..."

Feng Yuan said with a smile,

"No worries, if it comes down to it, I’ll find a way to bring Nagna to treat her~"

Teacher Yan looked at Feng Yuan, wanting to say more but hesitated, then finally said helplessly,

"You’d better stay away from Divine Beasts. You’re already conspicuous enough. Do you know that the rumor outside is that you’re God’s Chosen, that anyone who uses you could easily become a Divine Pact Maker?"

"Well, in a sense, that’s not wrong," Feng Yuan replied with a cold laugh,

"As for using me?"

Feng Yuan continued with a sneer,

"Let’s see if they have the ability to deceive Him."

"Just be careful, after all, you’re still just a high school student. You’re not exactly a deterrent to those people."

"A high school student? Isn’t that the perfect age to save the world~"

Seeing Teacher Yan look at him with confusion, Feng Yuan smiled and shook his head as he said,

"Don’t worry, you’ve seen Xiao Ji’s strength~ To deal with Xiao Ji in that state, the opponent would need at least a Sacred Beast."

Feng Yuan, with a mischievous smile, added,

"Deploying a Sacred Beast within Great Xia’s territory to target one person... I think whoever dares to do that would probably be punished by Great Xia first~"

Recalling the terrifying power Xiao Ji displayed that night, Teacher Yan shook his head without saying more and turned to instruct other students. Watching Xiao Ji continue practicing, Feng Yuan whispered,

"An orphan, huh... Hah... Not exactly, but I’ve been on my own for too long..."

The Spirit Beast Egg in Feng Yuan’s arms gently wobbled as if to comfort him. Feng Yuan took a deep breath, shook his head with a smile, and after class, upon seeing Xiao Ji still training hard, he said somewhat reluctantly,

"Aren’t you going to have lunch?"

Xiao Ji pointed with its little wings to the Spirit Beast Food it had brought over, unnoticed. Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"Then remember to have your lunch, okay? Don’t be like Big Cat, getting so busy you forget to eat."

"Ji~"

Seeing Xiao Ji nod in response, Feng Yuan shook his head and walked away.

"Hey? Why are you eating alone? Where’s Xiao Ji?"

"Busy practicing fighting, I really don’t get why it’s so gung-ho about it."

Feng Yuan looked up to see Zhong Liuyan sitting across from him with her lunch tray, a bit puzzled, and asked,

"Aren’t you eating with Pei Yu? Having a spat?"

"Not at all, he seems to have some family matter, he didn’t come today."

"Is that so."

As Feng Yuan and Zhong Liuyan chatted off and on while eating lunch and tidied up the dishes afterward, Feng Yuan left and returned to the dorm to see Big Cat busy assembling something. Feng Yuan pounced and hugged Big Cat, saying,

"Big Cat~"

"Huh?"

Big Cat looked curiously at Feng Yuan, who buried his head in Big Cat’s back and rubbed against it before complaining,

"Xiao Ji didn’t even join me for lunch, come on Big Cat, comfort me~"

Big Cat watched Feng Yuan with a dazed look full of expectation for a moment, meowed, then turned back to tinker with its things. Feng Yuan, a tad disgruntled, messed up the feathers on Big Cat’s head.fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
