Chapter 1358: Chapter 1359 Refusing Evolution
“Strange, why did the kitchen prepare this for you?”
Eating snacks, Feng Yuan looked at Long Boduo with so confusion. If the other party paid, it would make sense, but Long Boduo obviously didn’t pay. Although they were hotel guests, he didn’t believe the service here could be this good.
“Can’t you just ask directly? Aren’t all high-end hotels like this?”
Long Boduo said while eating snacks, puzzled. In its experience, aren’t those hotels like this, where you just ask for whatever you need and they’ll prepare it for you?
“But you didn’t seem to pay, and this hotel shouldn’t have such services.”
Though curious, Feng Yuan couldn’t think of any peculiar ans Long Boduo might have used, so he didn’t dwell on it further. At this ti, Middel approached and seed to hear Feng Yuan’s question, smiling slightly and saying,
“That was my request. I wonder what business you have with ?”
“Hmm, what’s going on with those droplet bubbles? Why haven’t they evolved?”
Casually talking while eating, Feng Yuan ntioned, which startled Qi Chen, who sneaked a glance at Middel and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Middel wasn’t angry. Hearing Feng Yuan’s question, Middel looked at the group of droplet bubbles with a headache and said,
“That I am not sure of either. We’ve already given them the best care, but they keep refusing to evolve.”
“Refusing to evolve?”
Feeling puzzled, Agunas put down its snack and stared at Middel. Middel nodded and looked at those droplet bubbles, saying,
“Yes, indeed. At the initial stage of their evolution readiness, we provided them with pre-prepared evolution materials, but they refused to use them and seed to want to say sothing, but unfortunately, we couldn’t understand.”
Spirit Beasts that can speak human language are relatively few, and Middel didn’t bother to explore deeper, therefore no one was specifically asked to help translate; otherwise, given its Noble status, figuring out what they were thinking wouldn’t be difficult.
“We’ve inspected and even tried replacing with higher standard evolution materials, but they still refuse to evolve. Since they can just manage to maintain the purification work of the water source, we’ve not bothered too much.”
“After all, Spirit Beasts refusing to evolve are not unheard of.”
Swishing its tail, Agunas looked at the droplet bubbles in confusion and said sothing. Veronia observed the droplet bubbles with doubt and said,
“But a collective refusal to evolve? What are they planning?”
Based on the characteristics of wild Spirit Beast groups, they prioritize evolving those with exceptional talents to higher strength stages. Groups raised by humans might lack in this aspect, but a complete reversal shouldn’t occur—an entire group refusing to evolve?
“Did you do sothing to harm them?”
Looking at Middel skeptically, Veronia casually speculated. The other party shook his head, saying,
“Impossible. If that were true, how could we let them help purify this important water source?”
“So what is going on then?”
Agunas inquired, puzzled. None of the droplet bubbles showed extraordinary behavior toward Middel, indicating the counterpart hadn’t done anything bad to them. Of course, becoming very intimate wasn’t possible either, as seen from Flower Leaf Tree Three Spirit Beasts wanting to invite Qi Chen to play in the water.
Despite keeping their distance out of fear of Spirit Beasts, they still happily played by the pool and occasionally invited Qi Chen to join. The droplet bubbles, however, were apparently not as close to the counterpart or resembled the small ice flower by Lady Anna that way.
“I really don’t know if you could help resolve it, that would be great. After all, in their evolved form, they are even more effective in water purification… what’s happening to them?”
Before he could finish speaking, the droplet bubbles seed to boil over, chattering as if trying to express sothing. Agunas frowned slightly in doubt, looking at Middel. Veronia observed the droplet bubbles and said,
“If they all evolve, what are your plans for them?”
“Plans? Of course, let them take turns themselves. Strictly fixed positions, losing even one would affect purification efficiency, which isn’t a good thing. If they agree to evolve, they wouldn’t need to stay here all the ti.”
“I see.”
Seeing the droplet bubbles frightened appearance, Veronia understood sothing. Stepping forward, she whispered a few words, looking at Agunas who had turned around and occasionally wagged its tail, saying,
“You misunderstood them again~”
“What happened?”
Middel curiously looked at Veronia. He knew the other was a Divine Beast and surely could understand what the droplet bubbles were saying. He was also troubled by the droplet bubbles’ refusal to evolve.
Veronia smiled slightly, saying,
“You wouldn’t increase efficiency and then drive them away, right?”
“Why would I drive them away? They’re part of the castle; why would I do that?”
“It couldn’t be…”
“Just as you thought; they mistakenly believe that with increased efficiency, you’ll drive so of them away, which is why they collectively refuse to evolve.”
Veronia said with a smile. Apparently, similar actions were taken with the castle staff, which is not surprising. With the ergence of various tools, maintaining and cleaning the castle require far fewer hands than before. It’s just that his thod caused a misunderstanding among the droplet bubbles.
Thinking that evolution would lead to efficiency improvents and result in companions being driven away, this misconception led the droplet bubbles to collectively refuse evolution. Middel’s absence of Spirit Beasts capable of human communication perpetuated this misunderstanding unresolved.
“So that’s it. I would never drive them away…”
Middel smiled wryly and stepped forward to speak with the droplet bubbles. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan curiously and asked,
“Why are they afraid of being driven away?”
In his understanding, only Spirit Beasts would leave humans out of dissatisfaction, how could there be such a fear of being driven away by humans? Moreover, their feelings didn’t seem that deep.
Feng Yuan shook his head and said,
“The droplet bubble clan is too weak. Here, the resources they can enjoy are far more than in the wild; it’s quite normal for them to be reluctant to leave.”
It has nothing to do with emotions; it’s simply a matter of resources. As long as the Verlun family hadn’t done anything wrong to the droplet bubbles, given that they provide resources, the droplet bubbles would gladly offer their help. For this reason, they are not keen on losing their current life.
Swishing its tail, Agunas didn’t know what to say. Bla the droplet bubbles? That’s a joke. Spirit Beasts naturally vary in strength. If not for issues of resource competition among clans in the wild, Kong Qing wouldn’t pursue better and stronger evolutionary forms.
Although it didn’t like how Spirit Beasts depended on humans, it had no reason to bla them. At this mont, those droplet bubbles cheered, seemingly speaking sothing. Veronia translated,
“They want to evolve; do you have enough materials?”
“Of course, although they aren’t fresh.”
Middel breathed a sigh of relief. Although the droplet bubbles not evolving wasn’t that big of a trouble, he hoped they wouldn’t have to stay by the pool all the ti and could have ti to play in the castle.
Rembering the Spirit Beasts that accompanied him through a lonely childhood, he wished to liberate them from this burdenso duty.
“As long as the efficacy is present, freshness doesn’t matter.”
Belusir stepped forward, looking at the droplet bubbles. Lingering by Middel, a butler-like person quietly left, likely preparing materials. Watching the fate that had now changed, Belusir murmured,
“So, even ordinary beings have the power to change destiny…”
Although it was Agunas and others who communicated with the droplet bubbles to resolve the misunderstanding, it themselves didn’t know. Maybe one day, the hotel guests here might realize and solve the issue. After all, it only required a Spirit Beast capable of human communication to solve this problem.
