Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1927 - 1928: The Harvest

Feng Yuan looked at Veronia in surprise; he really hadn’t expected her to admit it. After all, wedding attire, although it also belongs to a type of traditional clothing, is a rather special category. Otherwise, Feng Yuan wouldn’t have suspected it was wedding attire at first glance.

What is Veronia up to?

He didn’t think she planned on being a bride. Besides, Veronia had hardly left his side until now. Apart from Long Boduo and Tamur, could it be that Veronia had eyes for Agunas?

Noticing Feng Yuan’s strange gaze, Veronia snorted coldly, saying,

"Don’t you think the design of the wedding attire is quite nice? Just a few alterations and it looks very charming~"

Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan suspiciously scrutinized Veronia and asked,

"Is it really just for the looks?"

"What else? Do you think I would do something absurd?"

Rolling her eyes, Veronia retorted moodily. The designer beside them appeared a bit awkward, looking as if she wanted to speak up but didn’t dare to.

In her eyes, Veronia’s deliberate choice of wedding attire style was indeed a bit baffling. Still, not wanting to offend Veronia, she chose not to say much.

After thinking for a while, Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"Alright, I’ll just assume that’s what you really think."

"What’s with ’just assume’?!"

Watching Veronia argue with Feng Yuan, Qi Chen couldn’t shake a strange feeling, muttering to himself,

"Could it be... she and Feng Yuan... but how is that possible..."

"Indeed, it’s impossible."

Tamur circled around Qi Chen and said, seeing that Qi Chen was startled, Tamur swayed gently like sea grass pushed by the current, saying,

"She is reminiscing. Although I don’t know what exactly happened, her thoughts are quite obvious..."

Even though Tamur represents the Mythical Era itself, it still couldn’t understand the thoughts of all beings during that time, let alone the guilt Veronia feels, which only appeared after the Mythical Era.

Long Boduo looked at Veronia curiously and said,

"Did she have a wedding before? It feels a bit strange..."

Divine Beasts aren’t completely without their own groups. However, those so-called groups are generally like the Vermilion Bird, not existing directly in the form of Divine Beasts.

If we must say, those groups are akin to ungrown ugly ducklings; only by gaining divinity and becoming Divine Beasts can they transform into swans. Normally, they might not feel much attachment to their brethren within the group.

Because if you think about it, there’s a significant difference between the two. Besides, many Divine Beasts don’t require a group in the first place; after one passes away, another of the same kind naturally emerges.

This is why Long Boduo found Veronia’s actions strange, because regardless of the situation, a Divine Beast like Veronia shouldn’t have had a wedding.

Unable to figure it out, Long Boduo dared not ask, thinking it would be absurd to inquire, knowing it might provoke Veronia into a rage.

Unlike Long Boduo, Feng Yuan noticed Veronia’s odd behavior but didn’t believe she was reminiscing about a past wedding. After some thought, he decided not to delve deeper into this matter.

Compared to Veronia, Long Boduo’s attire seemed rather normal; although the colors appeared somewhat old-fashioned, it didn’t really matter to Long Boduo.

The deep gray clothing, adorned with many decorations to avoid being too formal, still appeared serious, yet on Long Boduo, it inexplicably exuded a sense of dignity.

Qi Chen glanced at Long Boduo and then at Feng Yuan, finding this peculiar scene somewhat familiar.

Didn’t Feng Yuan encounter a similar situation before? But why?

Tamur seemed to understand what was on Qi Chen’s mind, circling him once more, saying softly,

"Aura." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Prompted by Tamur, Qi Chen finally noticed that unlike Long Boduo’s usual inconspicuous demeanor, now he resembled a mighty presence. Though it’s natural considering his Divine Beast status.

The effect of aura, indeed... quite peculiar.

Thinking to himself, Qi Chen wasn’t inclined to dig deeper. After all, being overly curious about everything like Feng Yuan would have driven him crazy long ago.

Checking his outfit, Long Boduo contentedly remarked,

"Looks quite nice~ Ah? What if my Ritual Robe was designed after this?"

As Long Boduo spoke, the sense of solemnity dissipated instantly, and Feng Yuan, staring at Long Boduo for a long while, reluctantly said,

"Regardless if you have someone suitable, your Ritual Robe should at least represent yourself, right? But this attire doesn’t bear any of your emblems."

After all, it was a rushed creation, so the attire Long Boduo wore used traditional Chongshan Town patterns for decoration. Regardless of its compatibility with Long Boduo, it inevitably links to that Ming Zun.

Decorating Long Boduo’s Ritual Robe with Ming Zun’s patterns? Just the thought is strange.

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Long Boduo scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, having forgotten about that detail.

Although everyone references each other when it comes to Ritual Robes, in terms of patterns, they usually feature distinctive characteristics. Even the Wolf God’s Robe is no exception; yet Long Boduo’s attire lacked Long Boduo’s unique patterns.

Alternatively, it’s safe to say Long Boduo had initially not considered it.

Of course, given the situation, Long Boduo didn’t think of having the designer make another Ritual Robe, as it wasn’t necessary.

As Feng Yuan mentioned, even if Long Boduo resolved the Ritual Robe issue, it wouldn’t hold much significance. After all, a Ritual Robe signifies recognition from Divine Beasts. Unless they permit, others wouldn’t dare replicate it upon identifying the style, lest they anger the respective Divine Beast.

Furthermore, Long Boduo hardly knew any humans, and in modern society, there’s no real need for someone wearing a Ritual Robe to worship Divine Beasts.

Even the old-fashioned Divine Beasts nowadays prefer Divine Pact Makers over alternative methods.

Consequently, Long Boduo realized that creating a Ritual Robe, aside for self-appreciation, seemed pointless.

Noticing Long Boduo and Veronia had finished, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"Alright, let’s go, let’s not bother them anymore~"

Though Feng Yuan believed they likely didn’t mind the disruption at all.

As expected, they didn’t mind Long Boduo staying there; when they decided to leave, the two designers wouldn’t persuade them otherwise, given they were still focused on their tasks, and gaining favor wasn’t that urgent.

On the way out, seeing Long Boduo seemed pleased with the attire, Feng Yuan asked curiously,

"Isn’t there a designer in the Netherworld?"

If it were Ernis, a Divine Beast living alone with no human contact, it wouldn’t be surprising. But Long Boduo resides in the Netherworld.

There, a specialized Netherworld City accommodates the souls not yet "reincarnated," naturally including designers’ souls.

How come it seemed like this was Long Boduo’s first time getting new clothes?

Scratching his head, Long Boduo replied with a wry smile,

"There is, but spiritual bodies can’t interact with physical objects. While they can touch Netherworld items, the materials aren’t that appealing."

Even with great designs, they need a feasible way to realize them. Of course, they could seek help from humans in the real world, but the relationship between Ghost-type Divine Beasts and humans isn’t great; prior to this, they were complete strangers.

Recently, due to Feng Yuan and Long Boduo, many Ghost-type Divine Beasts have been visiting human lands for sightseeing, slightly breaking the ice.

Given the circumstances, even if Long Boduo thought to ask humans in the real world for help, it would be difficult.

Asking someone for help without reason? Previously, Long Boduo wouldn’t have thought so, and this time, it was only because they had human currency in hand.

In Long Boduo’s perspective, the attire was custom-ordered with money he provided. Although they prioritized service due to his Divine Beast status, it generated some goodwill without incurring any real favors.

And owing favors is something Divine Beasts dislike, especially to strangers since they don’t know what the humans receiving the favor might do.
