Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1917 - 1918: The Plan

A breeze blew through the corridor, and Feng Yuan stood up after gently patting Xiao Ji’s back and said,

"Shall we keep strolling?"

Although Dou Yanlan’s emotions hadn’t completely settled, she had calmed down by now, and Veronia glanced at Dou Yanlan and floated over to Feng Yuan’s side and said perplexedly,

"Why is she like this?"

"She probably thought of her past self."

Turning his head to glance at Dou Yanlan, Feng Yuan said in a low voice. Though the woman they encountered earlier seemed to not be doing well, from her demeanor, she likely didn’t think so herself.

Beastmasters face unknown risks in the wild and threats from formidable enemies. Perhaps ordinary people may not have the means to protect themselves in major events, but even among Beastmasters, how many can claim to have self-protection power?

For Dou Yanlan, becoming a Legendary Level Beastmaster might be a goal to strive for, but for ordinary people, living well every day is enough.

Feng Yuan understood well that most of Dou Yanlan’s journey up till now relied on her abilities. Only she knew the hardships she had faced, and perhaps she saw the person they encountered before as someone similar to herself?

"Her former self? Yes, but why didn’t they help her and her mother back then? That’s quite absurd."

Veronia said, feeling puzzled. After all, it was impossible that the people staying in Great Xia were unaware of the action at that time, so why were they unwilling to lend a hand when Dou Yanlan and her mother faced difficulties?

"Perhaps they were afraid of being exposed. Although it seems a bit cold-hearted, their opponents were indeed too cunning."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan sighed. The actions of those people weren’t quite right, but it’s hard to say what might have happened if they had helped Dou Yanlan’s family. Would Quine have noticed something?

After all, those folks couldn’t even grasp a handle on Agunas, unless Feng Yuan used powers beyond their comprehension at that time, or abilities they couldn’t contend with. Otherwise, even Agunas might not be sure about Quine’s issues.

"That’s true. Even the Little Crocodile can’t deal with them. If there’s the slightest slip, it might really be noticed by them~"

Veronia said softly, spinning three times on the spot atop her Rainbow Bubbles and said,

"What do you think of the Spirit Beast distribution in the Cha Mu area?"

"Hmm, surprisingly, there are more Earth System Spirit Beasts, while Fire-Attribute Spirit Beasts aren’t as common. However, the credibility of these samples is too low. Perhaps that’s why they’re bold enough to display them here. You can glean some things from them, but it’s not of great use."

Feng Yuan mused, rubbing his chin, realizing something. He had wondered why this place dared to display such things directly. Thinking about it carefully, it doesn’t really expose too much information.

However, this is mainly related to the special circumstances of the Cha Mu Town area. Due to the presence of the Yognots, the whole Cha Mu Town area hasn’t drafted a distribution map of Spirit Beasts. Or rather, although they have investigated and even have control over the Spirit Beast distribution in Cha Mu Town, it’s confidential information.

Of course, places like the Cha Mu Town area, where the distribution of local Spirit Beast groups isn’t announced, aren’t particularly rare. These areas aren’t particularly conspicuous because when people really want to find Spirit Beasts, they typically go to areas where Spirit Beast group distributions are released.

This way, they can avoid inadvertently violating local Spirit Beast protection regulations.

Even if Feng Yuan and his companions can glean some information from the Treasure Pavilion, its practical significance isn’t great. The only thing that intrigued Feng Yuan a bit was that some of the specimen information exhibited was quite unusual.

As they exited the Treasure Pavilion, Feng Yuan was about to decide where to grab a bite when he spotted He Nanqing passing by with a small Yognot. Startled, he greeted her in surprise and exclaimed,

"What brings you here? And with it, you guys are... quite bold."

Hearing someone call out to her, He Nanqing turned her head in confusion, saw it was Feng Yuan, and chuckled,

"Are you here on a leisure stroll?"

"Sort of. What are you up to?"

Feng Yuan wasn’t too surprised by He Nanqing’s words. The recent Abnormal Space events had caused quite a stir, so it would be odd if He Nanqing wasn’t aware of it. Furthermore, given her status, she held a position no lower than Captain Yan of the Special Duty Team.

Therefore, He Nanqing could definitely grasp the entirety of the Abnormal Space incident and wouldn’t mistakenly think that Feng Yuan and his group weren’t involved.

Other students and teachers affected hadn’t recovered within this time. Feng Yuan’s presence here likely indicated a chance to unwind from the Abnormal Space incident.

Yet, compared to others, Feng Yuan was more curious about meeting He Nanqing and the little Yognot here. It wasn’t that he selfishly believed He Nanqing could only stay in Cha Mu Town. It’s just that the little Yognot is a manifestation of the Yognot, and it couldn’t stray far from its main body unless necessary.

Places like Maomu City, if visited, require ample preparation. Unlike Cha Mu Town, where Yognot can tap directly into its own power, once they’re here, if any illegal organizations were to make a move, it lacks the capability to counteract.

Hence, unless under exceptional circumstances, the small Yognot would seldom leave Cha Mu Town, and seeing it here was indeed surprising for Feng Yuan.

"We’re here on an inspection to see if the Treasure Pavilion can attract interested Beastmasters."

He Nanqing knew there was no need to beat around the bush with Feng Yuan, smiling as she explained. Feng Yuan paused, puzzled, and asked He Nanqing,

"Attract Beastmasters?"

"This isn’t something suitable to discuss here. How about joining me over there for a chat?"

He Nanqing said with a smile, and curiosity led Feng Yuan to follow her to gather information. Neither the presence of the small Yognot there nor the purpose of the Treasure Pavilion was clear to him.

"Sorry, although these matters aren’t something we can’t share with outsiders, involving it makes it inappropriate to discuss openly."

After pouring Feng Yuan a cup of tea, He Nanqing smiled and said. The little Yognot lay quietly on a chair, looking at Feng Yuan, while Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, though following, stayed aside, ready to leave at any moment.

Taking the cup, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but ask,

"You’re here; does it have anything to do with the actual purpose of the Treasure Pavilion? No, that’s not right. I should ask, what exactly is the Treasure Pavilion aiming for?"

Given that her earlier statements seemed related to Beastmasters, Feng Yuan found it peculiar; what did they intend to do?

Pouring herself a cup of tea, He Nanqing sighed lightly and said,

"You’re correct. We’re here not just for a leisurely outing with Yognot but also to visit the Treasure Pavilion."

"I believe you should’ve heard about Data City being prepared for service soon, right?"

Looking at Feng Yuan, He Nanqing said. Though not understanding her intentions, Feng Yuan nodded and said,

"Yes, the Special Duty Team told me about it. Is the Treasure Pavilion related to this?"

"More or less. Data City and the Data Secret Realm, according to preliminary analysis, may significantly impact the distribution of Beastmasters. After all, a place where Beastmasters can freely train their beasts is immensely appealing to those seeking strength and further advancement."

Taking a sip of tea, He Nanqing said, glancing at Feng Yuan and continuing,

"Of course, our Cha Mu area doesn’t intend to bind Beastmasters who serve as teachers, preventing them from leaving. However, the city will gain substantial advantages during this phase. Nonetheless, the city’s capacity for people is limited."

"I wouldn’t seek to stop this survival of the fittest because I know that’s impossible. But I hope to secure more benefits for Cha Mu during this change. Not saying it will become better, but at least it shouldn’t worsen."

"Besides our Cha Mu area’s specialties, we don’t have many cards to play now. Perhaps, those rare Spirit Beasts can help us attract some... outstanding Beast Mentors."

Heaving a sigh, He Nanqing said, and Feng Yuan furrowed his brow, looking at He Nanqing and bluntly asking,

"Does Drudgeon know about this?"

"I understand your concerns, and it’s not just Drudgeon who’s aware. We’ve even consulted with those Spirit Beasts. If they didn’t agree, those special specimens wouldn’t be displayed in the Treasure Pavilion."

With a soft smile, He Nanqing said, glancing at the little Yognot, she continued,

"Moreover, we’ve also made another preparation. If necessary, Yognot will assist in recruitment."
