Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1920 - 1921: Invitation

"Hehe, don’t you want to experience the celebration in human form?"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said with a silly smile to Veronia, who thought for a moment and said

"I haven’t decided whether to participate in the event in human form yet, after all... I can’t just conjure clothes out of thin air."

Veronia could indeed use her energy to condense clothes, but she needed a reference style; if she relied solely on imagination, the result wouldn’t be very flattering.

So the last time she went with Feng Yuan and the others to Cha Mu Specialty Town, Veronia simply used her original form instead of a human form.

But now, participating in the celebration in Spirit Beast form would be somewhat inconvenient.

Just then, Tamur suddenly circled around Feng Yuan and said

"Long Boduo is looking for you."

"It’s not here now, it’s just that Long Boduo wants to join you for the Maomu City’s celebration events."

Taking a glance at Tamur, Veronia said. Long Boduo’s message was relayed through the Divine Beasts’ intelligence network; Tamur’s wording could easily cause misunderstandings.

Feng Yuan didn’t say anything; Tamur’s situation was special, and he could understand. Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan said

"If it does come, I would welcome it, but I’m not sure how you guys feel about it?"

"Having more companions might make it more lively."

Veronia looked at Tamur and said meaningfully, and with a chuckle, Feng Yuan said

"If it’s not busy now, maybe we can invite it to pick out some clothes together～"

Though Long Boduo frequently travels between regions, Feng Yuan wondered if it had any corresponding ethnic clothing.

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Veronia paused for a moment and said

"It’s free now, but... where do you plan on taking it?"

"Of course, to the shopping center, even though it may not be the best, it’s indeed the most convenient place."

Feng Yuan said with a shrug. Setting a time, he immediately pulled Xiao Ji and Veronia out the door, and having nothing better to do at home, Qi Chen curiously followed along.

The shopping center already had many customers picking out products. Perhaps due to an urgent need to alleviate inner anxiety, Feng Yuan noticed that those who came to the shopping center seemed to be buying a lot of things.

"Should we buy some gifts or something? But it seems there’s already no more space at home."

With one hand on Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan muttered. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji flapped its wings and chirped, and Veronia chuckled softly and said

"You could buy food; those don’t worry about storage space."

"Makes sense～ let’s get your clothes sorted first and then go for some food～"

Eyes lighting up, Feng Yuan said excitedly. Tamur, puzzled, scrutinized Feng Yuan, unsure of his intentions. Although it hadn’t interacted much with modern society, with Veronia’s help, it could gain a lot of information online, and thus knew that the shopping center’s food wasn’t exceptionally tasty to Feng Yuan.

Still, although confused, Tamur didn’t inquire further, knowing Feng Yuan would certainly answer if it asked.

The shopping center was busier than usual, or perhaps the parents bringing their children or students cared more whether their children could move past their fears, so they purposefully talked about what their kids liked and were interested in.

"Hmm, it’s truly lively. Tsk, I didn’t expect the most crowded place to be the ethnic clothes store."

Looking at the long queue at the store entrance, Feng Yuan scratched the small eagle-modeled Xiao Ji that was in his arms. Xiao Ji didn’t enjoy being held but had to comply with Feng Yuan using the excuse to not lose track.

Yet, Feng Yuan didn’t expect others’ interests to align with his own. Remembering something, Feng Yuan turned to Qi Chen and said

"By the way, did you make a reservation for me before?"

Though not entirely sure, Feng Yuan felt these people might be tourists planning to visit Cha Mu Specialty Town. With this many people, could there already be no spots left?

"No, it’s already fully booked, but I saw there’s a special qualification reservation; you should be able to apply."

Qi Chen shook his head and said. He didn’t expect that place to become so popular, given how quiet it was last time he went. No one thought Cha Mu Specialty Town would reach full reservation capacity so quickly.

Of course, they dared to openly mention the special qualification reservation because there were explanations, or they would have been criticized long ago.

The special qualification reservation mainly targeted members of public welfare departments like the Special Duty Team, who, due to rare holidays, found it hard to coordinate reservation times like others.

Naturally, no one objected to this because such preferential measures always existed, but were often not needed.

"Special qualification reservation? That’s for people like Liao Yu, right? I’m just an informal member, so I probably can’t apply."

Surprised, Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen, casually taking out his phone. Even though he wasn’t worried, since even if he couldn’t make a reservation, sneaking in with the help of Cat Ball wasn’t difficult, Feng Yuan preferred not to trouble Drudgeon if other options were available.

"Hmm, can you bring someone? Are you and Dou Yanlan going too?"

Pulling up the reservation interface, Feng Yuan realized he could indeed apply for a special qualification admission reservation, though he noticed some peculiar reminders.

"Is Gladys set up a stall again? However, this time she’s trying something new, turtle shell divination? Can she... pull it off?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen was taken aback and said

"Is she setting up a Divination House in Cha Mu Specialty Town this time?"

"Seems so. When I was reserving, it reminded me that only entering the town was included with special entrance qualifications; stage performances and Master Diviner Gladys’s turtle shell divination require regular lines and even reservations."

Looking at the red text reminder, Feng Yuan said. He wasn’t surprised by this, as it was the widely accepted rule. However, he didn’t quite understand what Gladys was doing.

Should she not be enjoying time with Mr. Yan now?

Recalling the farewell to Gladys before the holiday, Feng Yuan was certain there was no conflict with Mr. Yan, so what was going on?

"Didn’t she also run a Divination House last year? Although this year’s celebration seems a bit rushed, shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Qi Chen said, uncertain. Mainly because this year, due to the Cast Cubes, the square was closed, preventing Maomu City from hosting the celebration as usual.

Temporarily rearranging things brought minor hassles, but nothing drastic.

Since it only lacked a main venue, and with Feng Yuan being in Maomu City coincidentally, Tamur collected all the schools in Maomu City from Abnormal Space, so no casualties occurred; otherwise, the shopping center wouldn’t have been so crowded.

Frowning slightly, Feng Yuan said, puzzled

"It’s hard to say, since she’s kind of our teacher now. Even if she can’t partake in academy inspections due to her identity, she wouldn’t be so idle, right?"

Speaking of school inspections, Feng Yuan felt he sort of understood why Gladys continued running her Divination House, perhaps because Mr. Yan needed to ensure school safety.

Unlike Gladys, Mr. Yan was a proper Beastmaster and, during their time at Mao Mu Second Middle School, belonged to one of the more capable teachers.

"Hmm, why don’t we go back to Second Middle School later? Their inspections should almost be done, right?"

With a flicker of an idea, Feng Yuan suggested to Qi Chen, who looked at him and didn’t decline. However, Qi Chen thought Second Middle School’s inspection should have ended by then.

Unlike Maomu Academy, Second Middle’s grounds weren’t very large. Maomu Academy’s teaching buildings alone surpassed Second Middle’s overall size, not to mention the massive dormitory area and battlefields, etc.

If not for the numerous Beastmasters at Maomu Academy, Qi Chen suspected a week wouldn’t be sufficient to inspect the entire academy. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Albeit small territory, Second Middle School had fewer teachers, and Qi Chen was intrigued by his old school’s current state.
