Divine Beast Creator

"Hey..."

"Are you still not up?"

"Uh... who is this?"

Feng Yuan rubbed his eyes and talked through the phone in a daze, the other party said with some helplessness

"Can’t you recognize me?"

"Uh... Chudie sis?"

"...Didn’t you stay up late again last night?"

Feng Yuan stood up, looked at the morning sun, and said puzzledly

"No, what’s the matter?"

"You’re not busy with anything today, are you?"

"If there’s something, just say it."

"I’ve run into a little problem over here, can you come and help me check it out?"

"Uh..."

Feng Yuan yawned, scratched his head, and looked at the sky. Hmm, it was nice weather...

"Where are you now?"

Feng Yuan asked with some curiosity, and the other party immediately replied

"I’m over here in Liantang Town right now. If you have time, could you come over and help? It’s a Spirit Beast issue."

"Sure, I’ll come over after I finish breakfast. Liantang, right?"

"Don’t come alone, I’ll have my friend pick you up later. Maomu City has been too chaotic lately, and if something happens to you, grandma will tear me apart."

"Grandma isn’t that scary, okay, okay, let your friend come find me."

After speaking with Cen Chudie for a while, Feng Yuan hung up the phone, yawned, and looked at Xiao Ji who was still sleeping in the cabin. Feng Yuan thought about it and said to Najia who was peeking out from the upper bunk

"I’ll be out for a bit to grab something to eat. Can you prepare breakfast for them?"

Seeing Najia nod, Feng Yuan reached into Xiao Ji’s little cabin, picked up Xiao Ji, and held him in his arms. Xiao Ji, startled by Feng Yuan’s movement, jumped out of his arms, steadied himself, and looked at Feng Yuan puzzledly with a cocked head. Feng Yuan rubbed Xiao Ji’s fluffy head and said

"I’m going to have breakfast, are you coming?"

"Ji~"

After breakfast and before Cen Chudie’s call came, Feng Yuan poked Big Cat’s soft belly as it lay sleeping against the cupboard. Startled awake by Feng Yuan’s poking, Big Cat flapped its wings and jumped up, only to hit its head on the ceiling and fall back to the floor. Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and rubbed Big Cat’s head, saying

"Time to eat breakfast."

"Mmm..."

Looking at Big Cat’s pitiful expression, Feng Yuan opened the cupboard and took out some previously prepared Spirit Beast snacks. He took some that Big Cat liked and added them to its food, saying

"That’s all you get."

"Ao~"

Big Cat looked delighted at the snacks, while Feng Yuan stared at the Dreaming Dragon Baby who was flattering him and coiling on his arm, saying

"You want some too?"

"Ao~"

"No."

"Ao!"

"You guys just ate last night, and now you want more?"

The Dreaming Dragon Baby slid off Feng Yuan’s arm discontentedly and pointed its tail at Big Cat. Feng Yuan looked at the Dreaming Dragon Baby and said

"That was compensation for startling it just now, and besides, if you purposely hit the ceiling and damage it, you’re paying for it."

"Ao..."

The Dreaming Dragon Baby hung its head, dissatisfied, gave Feng Yuan a glare, flew back to the bed, and angrily stomped on Feng Yuan’s pillow with its claws to vent its displeasure. Feng Yuan sighed, ignoring it, sat at the table, took Xiao Ji off his head, and placed it on the table to play with him. After a long while, Feng Yuan’s phone rang. After answering the call, Feng Yuan picked up some stuff and put it into his backpack, then placed Xiao Ji on his head and said

"I’m heading out for a bit... Najia, are you coming with me, or are you waiting for Hong Zhi here? I reckon he’ll come looking for you later."

"Gina..."

After pondering for a bit, Najia walked up to Feng Yuan, jumped onto his shoulder, and the Dreaming Dragon Baby, without anyone noticing when, had drifted to Feng Yuan’s side. It sniffed the backpack, then directly floated onto his shoulder and coiled itself down. Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly

"I’m not going camping, you know, so don’t get your hopes up."

"Ao~"

"Don’t blame me if you end up disappointed later. Big Cat, you take care of yourself. The food’s in the cupboard; remember to fetch it yourself and don’t forget again."

After leaving a message, Feng Yuan slung on his backpack and was about to head out the door when he suddenly felt something bump into his back. Turning around, he found Big Cat looking at him with confusion and said

"Are you going out with us?"

"Mm~"

Seeing Big Cat nod, Feng Yuan looked at the computer with confusion and said,

"Are you sure? We’re going to the outskirts, there’s no computer there."

"Mm~"

"Okay then, let’s go."

Feng Yuan didn’t stop Big Cat, seeing it wasn’t just confused or acting on a whim. Unnoticed by him, as he spoke, Dreaming Dragon Baby’s eyes shimmered with a sharp light. After securing the door, Feng Yuan walked to the school’s entrance with Big Cat, where a young woman with short black hair wearing a T-shirt and long pants approached. After glancing at Xiao Ji above Feng Yuan’s head, she turned her attention to Dreaming Dragon Baby on his shoulder and said,

"You’re Feng Yuan, right?" freewёbnoνel.com

"Yes, and you are?"

"I’m a good friend of Chudie, uh... Cen Chudie’s good friend."

"Get in the car."

Following her words, Feng Yuan noticed the off-road vehicle parked beside her. The woman glanced at Big Cat behind Feng Yuan and asked,

"Is that travel cat yours as well?"

"Yes."

"See if it can fit inside, otherwise, let it ride on the roof."

"On the roof?"

With some confusion, Feng Yuan opened the car door to find the back seat piled with stuff. With no other option, he walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and signaled for Big Cat to follow. After they got in, the woman peered at Feng Yuan, now crammed in with Big Cat, and said,

"Isn’t that uncomfortable for you? Can’t you retract it into the Spirit Beast Space so it could sit on the roof?"

"No need."

Feng Yuan adjusted his position to hold Big Cat in his arms. The woman, seeing the odd sight of Feng Yuan and Big Cat together, didn’t say anything more and just stepped on the gas, speeding away.

"Whew... It’s so hot..."

"Well, of course, it is. You should really put it back in the Spirit Beast Space."

"No need~"

Xiao Ji perched on Feng Yuan’s head, watching the woman with curiosity. Feng Yuan, squeezed in with Big Cat, showed little interest in talking, simply staring blankly out the window. The woman, full of confusion, occasionally looked back at Feng Yuan and deciding to ignore it, she floored the accelerator even more.

"Dorm Head~ Thanks for the trouble~"

Upon arrival at their destination, Feng Yuan opened the door to let Big Cat out when he heard Cen Chudie’s voice. The woman nodded at Cen Chudie and said,

"I’ve brought the person. Where’s the stuff?"

"Here you go~"

As Cen Chudie handed over a small bottle of red potion to the woman, Feng Yuan scratched his head, confused as he stepped out of the car. Looking at the series of ponds before him, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but think of having a field cookout here. Cen Chudie came over, pulling Feng Yuan along while saying,

"Alright, hurry up and help. I’ll invite you over to play another time when we’re not busy."

"Hey, hey, hey! Don’t tug and pull me like that!"

Feng Yuan shook off Cen Chudie’s hand, discontent and said,

"What’s happened that our talented student can’t solve?"

"Just come with me and take a look. It’s hard to explain in a few words."

"Fine then..."

Feng Yuan followed Cen Chudie to a pond by a small river, where Cen Chudie pointed to the listless light blue shells at the edge of the water and said,

"These Qingquan Shells are having some issues, and so are the snails."

Feng Yuan put Xiao Ji down on the ground and said,

"You walk on your own. I don’t want to accidentally drop you in the water~"

Xiao Ji cautiously followed beside Feng Yuan, keeping an eye on the ponds. Approaching the nearest Qingquan Shell, Feng Yuan touched it and said with confusion,

"Isn’t it just ghost qi possession? Can’t you detect something like this?"

Cen Chudie shot Feng Yuan a dissatisfied look and replied,

"I know it’s ghost qi possession! But the problem is, trying to expel the ghost qi causes serious side effects. Even using gentle medicine to expel it doesn’t work, and Xiao Ling’s healing fragrance is the same."

"Really?"

Feng Yuan looked perplexed at the immobile Qingquan Shell and said,

"That is indeed strange. Show me the one you’ve been treating."

"Okay."
