130: Chapter 130: Legend_1 130: Chapter 130: Legend_1 Captain Yang confird that Feng Yuan had understood what needed to be done, and then everyone split into two groups again.
Before leaving, Gladys asked Feng Yuan if he needed assistance and was refused.
With a smile, Gladys followed Captain Yang and the others away from the edge of the pool.
As he arrived at the edge of the pool, Feng Yuan took out a green leaf and observed it closely in his hands.
Seeing Feng Yuan’s actions, Qi Xiaoshuang asked with so curiosity,
“What are you doing?”
“I think I might know what this place is called in modern tis.”
“What have you found?”
Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen but didn’t reply.
He shook the leaf in his hand above the water of the pool, and after a while, the enormous head of the Xuan Water Azure Jiao surfaced.
Seeing the confusion on the Xuan Water Azure Jiao’s face as it looked at the leaf in his hands, Feng Yuan smiled and tossed the leaf toward it.
The leaf floated toward the Xuan Water Azure Jiao as if defying gravity, and the creature erged with its massive body from the pool to catch the leaf.
After looking at the leaf, the Xuan Water Azure Jiao stared at Feng Yuan and let out a roar.
The Dreaming Dragon Baby perched on Feng Yuan’s shoulder excitedly floated forward and let out cries in response.
Feng Yuan glanced at the White Wolf Deity, took out the Greatsword, and planted it before him in the ground, then knelt on one knee and started whispering sothing.
A ghostly image of the White Wolf Deity materialized from the hilt of the Greatsword, and as the phantom appeared, everyone was shocked to find that they could understand the aning behind the Xuan Water Azure Jiao’s roars.
“What brings you here?”
“I want to inquire about sothing, but before that, do you mind talking about Luo?”
“Luo?”
“The boy from just now.”
“Him?
What are you planning to do with him?”
The Xuan Water Azure Jiao squinted its eyes and stared nacingly at Feng Yuan, who shook his head and said,
“There’s no need to be so tense, I don’t plan to do anything to him.
I’m just satisfying my curiosity~”
“I want to know what he said to you.”
The Xuan Water Azure Jiao hesitated for a mont, glanced at the green leaf, and said,
“It doesn’t matter if I tell you, he sought help to overco the severe drought.”
“I see…
you’re quite fond of him, aren’t you?”
The Xuan Water Azure Jiao looked at Feng Yuan with confusion, to which Feng Yuan said with a smile,
“I can tell that you like him since you stood up for him~”
“And what of it?”
“Nothing…
just feeling a bit sentintal.”
“What’s wrong with you?
You seem a bit off?”
Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan, unable to understand, while Feng Yuan turned his head and glanced at Qi Chen, hesitating whether to share his speculation.
Qi Chen, seeing Feng Yuan’s actions, responded sowhat discontentedly,
“What are you doing?
Just say what you have to say!”
“Do you still rember Lei Tan Shrine?”
“Lei Tan Shrine?
Why bring that up?”
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with so bewildernt, while Dou Yanlan, as if realizing sothing, unconsciously scratched Cotton’s soft belly and said,
“It’s the Lei Tan Deity.”
“What?!”
“The Lei Tan Deity?
When have I ever held such a title?”
The Xuan Water Azure Jiao looked at everyone with bewildernt, and Qi Xiaoshuang, full of questions, grabbed Qi Chen’s arm and shook it vigorously, saying,
“Brother~ explain the Lei Tan Deity to ~”
Qi Chen, recalling the ending of the Lei Tan Deity’s story, imdiately understood Feng Yuan’s hesitation but still found it hard to believe as he said,
“Are you so certain that the other party is the Lei Tan Deity?”
“Just look at the Dreaming Dragon Baby.”
Seeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby affectionately nuzzling the Xuan Water Azure Jiao, Qi Chen said, sowhat puzzled,
“What’s with it?”
“Having received benefits at the Lei Tan Shrine, eting the true deity now would naturally seem more affectionate.”
“So that ans…”
The Xuan Water Azure Jiao looked at everyone, noticed they seed to have no intent of explaining further, and didn’t pursue the matter, only saying to Feng Yuan,
“Let’s talk about serious matters.”
Feng Yuan briefly explained the purpose of their visit, and after pondering for a while, the Xuan Water Azure Jiao said,
“The drought did beco unusual a few days ago.”
As it spoke, the Xuan Water Azure Jiao roared towards the sky, and dark clouds gathered quickly.
But before a single drop of rain could fall, the clouds dispersed just as swiftly.
Feng Yuan sighed and said,
“So you’re unable to answer Luo’s prayer, are you?”
The Xuan Water Azure Jiao nodded, and Feng Yuan glanced at the White Wolf Deity and said,
“If bolstered by the power of a Divine Beast, you should be able to cast the Torrential Rain skill normally.
But do you really want to fulfill Luo’s prayer?”
The Xuan Water Azure Jiao looked at Feng Yuan with a hint of surprise and said,
“Divine Beast?”
“If it’s true, I am willing.”
Lost in thought, the figure of Luo, petite and slender, began to superimpose itself upon a silhouette that Xuan Shui Blue Jiao found hard to forget.
Seeing Xuan Shui Blue Jiao deep in reminiscence, Feng Yuan leaned against a tree by the pond, cradling Xiao Ji in his arms and casually plucked a blade of grass, teasing Xiao Ji with it just as he did in the Lei Tan Shrine.
Xiao Ji, dissatisfied, used its wings to fan away the grass Feng Yuan was using to tease it.
Feng Yuan chuckled, tapped Xiao Ji’s head, and said,
“Xiao Ji has grown up—just look how much fun you used to have with this.”
“Ji!”
After a while, Xuan Shui Blue Jiao snapped out of its mories, looking at Feng Yuan playing with Xiao Ji and spoke softly,
“You are not from this world.”
“You can tell?”
“This world doesn’t have bonds like the ones you share.”
Xuan Shui Blue Jiao looked enviously at the people communicating with their spirit beasts, and Feng Yuan seed to understand what Xuan Shui Blue Jiao ant.
He replied with a hint of regret,
“This world does have them, they’re just not here yet, it’s a pity that you won’t be able to see that day…”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“You’re not thinking of…”
As Feng Yuan hesitated, Qi Chen spoke up with so dissatisfaction, and Xuan Shui Blue Jiao shook its massive head, saying,
“No need to speak of things that can’t be explained.”
“What if I told you we co from the future, would you believe that?”
“The future?
If it’s a future like that, it wouldn’t be too bad.”
“Yeah, it’s a sha that soone who destroys history turned this whole area into a burning wasteland.”
“I can only sense that the origin is in that direction, beyond that…
I am powerless.”
Xuan Shui Blue Jiao pointed in a certain direction, and Feng Yuan sighed, saying,
“That’s also a clue.
Before we leave, we’ll have the White Wolf Deity bestow more power onto you so that your Torrential Downpour move will be as it’s recorded in history…”
“Recorded in history, huh…
to think that I could leave a mark in history as well…”
“Why couldn’t you?”
“A god who betrayed his own tribe…”
“No!
You didn’t betray them!”
Hearing the boy’s loud shout, everyone was surprised to find Luo, who had sohow co here again, without knowing when.
Feng Yuan looked behind Luo with so confusion, not seeing Captain Yang and the others, and asked sowhat puzzled,
“Why did you co here alone?”
“I…”
“Sneaking out on your own like this isn’t good, you know.”
Luo rely glared at Feng Yuan and walked toward the base of Xuan Shui Blue Jiao, whispering sothing to it.
Xuan Shui Blue Jiao quietly responded,
“You don’t need to worry about .”
…
“I have agreed to your prayer.”
…
“I cannot; I’ve already betrayed them…”
“No!
You haven’t!
That was clearly an accident!”
Luo shouted fiercely, and Feng Yuan and the others looked over, puzzled.
Xuan Shui Blue Jiao shook its head and said,
“In my heart, I have already betrayed them.
Go back.”
Luo knelt in front of Xuan Shui Blue Jiao, saying sothing, and Xuan Shui Blue Jiao seed to grow impatient, subrging itself into the depths of the pond.
Luo shouted for a long ti, and realizing that Xuan Shui Blue Jiao wasn’t going to reappear, wiped away his tears, glanced at everyone, and ran toward the direction of the settlent.
Feng Yuan looked back at the pond one last ti, then said to the group,
“I’ll take him back.”
After a long while, Feng Yuan, carrying Sickle, reappeared before everyone.
Qi Chen asked Feng Yuan,
“Did you take him back?”
“Yes, he’s been returned to the settlent.
Are we setting off now, or…?”
Feng Yuan asked, glancing at the sunset.
Professor Yan spoke up,
“Let’s rest for tonight.
The matter probably isn’t that urgent yet.”
“Okay, then—I’ll go look for so herbs for seasoning.”
“I’ll go hunting, bring back so at.”
“Just be careful not to accidentally harm any spirit beasts, we should have many extinct spirit beasts around this ti.
Never mind, let the White Wolf Deity accompany you.”
Feng Yuan fretted as he delegated tasks.
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan and Yang Hongzhi, and Professor Yan said,
“Qi Chen, you stay here.
Your strength…”
“I understand…”
Qi Chen said, his voice tinged with reluctance.
