Divine Beast Creator

"This is..."

Yang Hongzhi confusedly walked up, picked up a book to take a glance, and helplessly put it back down before saying to Feng Yuan,

"You’re not just a little crooked, are you?"

"It chose by itself. Anyway, it’s willing to go down this path."

"But... a scholar owl with a gaming specialty? Doesn’t that seem a bit off?"

Feng Yuan pointed at the Big Cat, which had already shut down the computer, and said,

"Don’t underestimate it. It’s already making money through gaming now. That pile of books was bought with the money it earned."

"Uh... but that doesn’t have much combat power, does it?"

"As long as it can support itself, that’s fine. Is combat power really that important?"

Remembering the spirit beast contract signed between Feng Yuan and Big Cat, Yang Hongzhi sighed and said,

"Since it’s a choice it made on its own, that’s the way it has to be."

"Let’s go~"

Feng Yuan slung his backpack over his shoulder, placed Xiao Ji on his head, patted Big Cat signaling it to follow, and with some reluctance, Big Cat glanced back at the computer and followed Feng Yuan out of the dormitory.

"The appearance of the White Wolf Deity really stirred things up..."

"With everyone distracted by the White Wolf Deity, those people who were injured..."

While cooking food, Yang Hongzhi spoke and let out a sigh. Satisfied, Big Cat ate the food prepared by Feng Yuan and watched the two conversing. Feng Yuan said calmly,

"Isn’t shifting attention a good thing? Otherwise, the panic would just keep spreading. There’s compensation anyway, so what would happen if we continue to focus on it?"

"That’s true..."

"Gina..."

Najia seemed to recall something and felt a bit distressed as he stared at the food on the plate. Yang Hongzhi, busy cooking, didn’t notice Najia’s change of mood. Xiao Hei watched Yang Hongzhi excitedly, while Feng Yuan quietly took several sneaky photos of Xiao Ji who was eating in a hurry.

"Ji!"

"Just taking a few pictures~ These are wonderful memories~"

"Ji!"

The Dreaming Dragon Baby sat cross-legged on Big Cat’s head, watching Xiao Ji chase after Feng Yuan. After a while, realizing it couldn’t catch up with Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji turned back, sat down, and continued eating. Feng Yuan walked over, poked Xiao Ji with a smirk, and said,

"What? Not chasing anymore?"

Xiao Ji gave Feng Yuan a glare and ignored him. Feng Yuan, feeling a tad bored, lay down on the grass, looking at the blue sky, white clouds, and the face of a young police officer...

"Is there a problem?"

Getting up, Feng Yuan looked at the officer perplexedly, and the officer glanced back at Feng Yuan and said,

"Are you Feng Yuan from Class Three, Grade Eleven at Maomu City’s Second High School?"

"I am. What’s the matter?"

Feng Yuan looked at the police officer with some confusion. The officer handed Feng Yuan a file and said,

"This concerns the incidents during the Emerald Ruins event. According to the investigation, someone likely sneaked into your dorm to frame you, but the motive is quite strange..."

"Uh..."

Looking at messages of various distress calls sent from Big Cat’s computer, Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly to Big Cat,

"This doesn’t seem like framing..."

The baffled officer looked at Feng Yuan, who sighed and said,

"Most likely, they were sent by Big Cat... Big Cat, are these your work?"

"Wu?"

After looking over the materials, Big Cat nodded. Seeing this, the officer calmly said to Feng Yuan,

"Then, please come with me to the station to make a statement."

"Can we wait a moment?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Yang Hongzhi, who was busy dishing out food. Yang Hongzhi handed a plate to Xiao Hei and walked over to Feng Yuan, asking,

"What kind of trouble have you stirred up now?"

"It’s not me. Big Cat has been sending distress messages online."

"Wu..."

Looking at the apologetic Big Cat bowing its head, Feng Yuan didn’t know what to say. He reached out to shoo the Dreaming Dragon Baby off Big Cat’s head and rubbed Big Cat’s head, saying,

"Don’t mess around like this next time."

"Wu..."

Yang Hongzhi took out an ID and handed it to the officer, saying,

"I’ll bring him to you later. Is that okay?"

The police officer checked the ID and verified its authenticity before looking at the picnic items on the ground and saying

"Okay, this isn’t really a big deal, it’s just that because it’s related to a serious safety incident... I know your weekends are precious as students, but please try to deal with this before two o’clock in the afternoon. If it drags on too late, there might be some trouble."

After giving some advice and leaving an address, the police officer left. Feng Yuan fiercely rubbed Big Cat and said,

"You rascal, don’t you know that some things shouldn’t be sent out recklessly?"

"Meow..."

Yang Hongzhi looked at the wronged Big Cat and said to Feng Yuan,

"Is that his way of showing concern for you? Although the method is a bit problematic..."

Yang Hongzhi sighed as he spoke, as if remembering something. Najia gently patted Yang Hongzhi, showing a smile while looking at him. Feng Yuan straightened the feathers on Big Cat that he himself had ruffled and said,

"I’m not blaming you, just reminding you not to act recklessly. After all, your strength isn’t enough for you to do as you please..."

"Meow..."

"Alright, it’s not a big deal anyway. It’s just that your random messaging coincidentally bumped into the Emerald Ruins incident. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have attracted such attention. Just be careful next time not to mess around, okay?"

"Also, there’s no need to worry about my safety..."

Feng Yuan said while hugging Big Cat from behind. Big Cat’s tail feathers moved as it was embraced by Feng Yuan. After letting go of Big Cat, he went to tease Xiao Ji, playing until the afternoon. Under Yang Hongzhi’s guidance, Feng Yuan dealt with the trouble caused by Big Cat. Watching the setting sun, Feng Yuan let out a sigh and said,

"The fine is really expensive..."

"Meow..."

"It’s alright. It’s partly my fault for not explaining things properly. Just remember not to get reckless again."

Feng Yuan pushed back the bank card Big Cat offered to him, then said helplessly, as if recalling something,

"Speaking of which, you probably don’t understand the laws and regulations, right? So, when we get back, memorize the regulations so you don’t make this kind of mistake again."

"Meow!"

"Playing cute won’t work either. To prevent any more accidental trouble, we’ll just settle it this way. Najia, I’ll need your help supervising when the time comes."

"Gina~"

"Meow..."

Looking at Big Cat’s pitiful expression, Feng Yuan shook his head and said to Yang Hongzhi,

"You really saved me today. Otherwise, my enjoyable weekend would have been ruined."

Yang Hongzhi looked at Najia in his arms, smiled, and shook his head,

"I’m just trying to score some goodwill for the academy..."

"Eh?"

"With your strength, you could easily get into Great Xia Academy, no?"

"I’m not planning to go to Great Xia Academy. It seems boring to me; it’s no fun without acquaintances. I’ll probably go to Maomu Academy, since considering their strength, they’ll most likely end up there."

Yang Hongzhi looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Are you talking about Qi Chen? Even if he can’t get into Great Xia, he should be able to make it into Shendu, right?"

"Don’t you have a misconception about ’Coming of the Future’? That’s just a potential future that includes all sorts of adventures. Ah Mu’s potential is at Good Level at best. The highest he could aim for is probably Maomu Academy."

"Why do you make it sound like our academy is so bad..."

"It won’t be for long~"

Feng Yuan said, putting his hands on his hips and proudly looking at the other. Yang Hongzhi sighed and said,

"Do you need me to put in a good word for Qi Chen at the academy? After all, a future Legendary Level Beastmaster might be worth the academy courting in advance."

"You should ask him; I can’t make that decision."

"What about you?"

"Of course it’s best to be seniors~"

"Do you need me to help talk to them and secure your early admission?"

Feng Yuan shook his head and looked at Xiao Ji, who had fallen asleep in his arms, and said,

"No need, I’ll just get in on my own strength."

"If only you evolved into a Scholarly Owl, you could carry me flying~"

Feng Yuan said with a hint of regret while patting Big Cat. The cat looked at Feng Yuan, tilting its head in confusion. After chatting for a while in the dormitory, Yang Hongzhi and Najia talked about something, occasionally putting small accessories on Najia. Feng Yuan stood behind Big Cat, watching it study law and regulations.

"Who would have thought it’s almost time to graduate..."

After sending Yang Hongzhi away, Feng Yuan sat at the table looking up at the night sky, murmuring softly. He reached out and rubbed Xiao Ji’s head, looking around nostalgically and said,

"It went by so fast, nearly three years already..."

Sensing Feng Yuan’s low spirits, Xiao Ji jumped into his arms and snuggled against him. Feng Yuan laughed and rubbed Xiao Ji while looking up at the night sky,

"I’ll be counting on you from now on~"

"Ji~"
