Chapter 1827: Chapter 1828: Identity
Unfortunately, no one could provide answers to Feng Yuan’s questions. Perhaps Agunas could traverse ti to find the root of all this, but it would be aningless.
After the wooden sculpture incident, Feng Yuan no longer hurried to leave but stayed on, guarding against anything else that might pique his interest. However, it seed his luck had run out, as the subsequent auction items were not to his liking.
At this ti, Qi Chen and his companions also ca around. After all, the family scions had their own circles, and even if they wanted to build alliances, it was unlikely they’d engage in deep conversations on the first encounter. Although there were abundant entertainnt options on the skyship, Qi Chen and his companions were not particularly interested in them.
Whether it was the swimming pools or cinemas, Qi Chen found them to be no different from those elsewhere. Not only was it because they emphasized practicality, but also due to his experiences with Feng Yuan, which had exposed him to many peculiar things, thus making ordinary attractions less interesting to him.
Surprisingly, Qi Chen’s attitude caused both him and Dou Yanlan to seem even more mysterious to the family scions.
In fact, the various entertainnt facilities on the skyship were not frequently used. For those family scions and high-ranking individuals, apart from unique locations, these attractions held little appeal. Now, while they were gathered together, forming bonds was naturally more important than indulging in activities that lacked significant interest.
Qi Chen and his companions’ actions naturally made others see them as kindred spirits. After all, the skyship’s entertainnt designs were ant for an extrely luxurious sky arena, intended to dazzle the average person, but only those with broad experiences would remain unaffected.
Unaware of the strange impression he and Dou Yanlan left on others, Qi Chen found Feng Yuan at the auction house and curiously asked,
“Did you buy another souvenir? Why is there only a gift for Xiao Ji?”
In the past, Feng Yuan would generally buy souvenirs for everyone, but now there was only a wooden sculpture of Xiao Ji, and it seed Big Cat and the others hadn’t received gifts.
“There was nothing suitable. After all, this isn’t a tourist spot; you can’t find other souvenirs to give Big Cat and the others.”
Turning to Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said helplessly. He wanted to, but Big Cat and the others hadn’t spent much ti with him in the past, so leaving traces accidentally was unlikely. Moreover, after Kong Qing’s evolution, he hadn’t brought it along into the past.
Intentionally stirring trouble just for these special souvenirs?
He wasn’t crazy; the consequences would be severe. The appearance of Xiao Ji’s wooden sculpture was already enough to surprise him. A few more might cause major trouble.
Big Cat wobbly wagged its head at Feng Yuan, while Veronia chuckled and said,
“Even Big Cat is comforting you, saying you don’t need to stay here stubbornly to prepare souvenirs for them~ Of course, I don’t need one either. A souvenir without special aning has no place for ~”
Glancing at the stage, Veronia said insincerely. Unlike Xiao Ji and the others, Veronia both hoped for and feared the appearance of antiquities related to herself.
Because, when the Mythical Era ended, she had already gone into seclusion. What could remain might only be relics from the Mythical Era or… his traces…
“Either way, it just makes one sad…”
Turning away from Feng Yuan, Veronia secretly wiped her eyes. Although Feng Yuan noticed Veronia’s action, he pretended not to see anything.
This unique auction made Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan linger for a while, watching. However, since they couldn’t participate in such a multi-million auction, they left hand in hand to explore other areas.
Eventually, Feng Yuan couldn’t resist inquiring about the upcoming auction items. After reviewing them, he confird there was nothing he desired, so he took the wooden sculpture and left with Xiao Ji.
As the skyship continued to advance, Feng Yuan road around inside it. However, neither the entertainnt nor the functional spaces were particularly appealing to him. He didn’t expect to be stopped by that boy near the engine room.
“Big brother, there’s sothing I want to ask you, is that okay?”
Stopping Feng Yuan, the boy said sowhat bashfully. He knew his request might be presumptuous, but there was no other way. On this ship, he couldn’t find anyone suitable to ask. Only Feng Yuan seed approachable, especially since he witnessed Feng Yuan sell spiritual dicine to Elder Li, suggesting that Feng Yuan might have the answer.
“What is it? If it’s too confidential, I can’t provide answers. After all, secrets must not be easily divulged~”
Looking at the boy, Feng Yuan said with a mischievous smile. However, his intuition told him the boy might have sensed sothing.
“That… if… they find Xiao Xiao, will… um… you understand what I want to ask, right… it’s about my friend…”
With his head down, the boy stamred, and Feng Yuan looked at him in surprise and said,
“I didn’t expect you to know her situation. But… Xiao Xiao?”
“Yes… After all, if she weren’t connected to those strange changes, she wouldn’t have been able to board this ship. She didn’t have a ticket… and she doesn’t have a Spirit Beast to protect her…”
“Sounds quite pitiable, but are you sure she’s really human?”
Standing in front of the boy and staring into his pure eyes, Feng Yuan seriously asked. The boy remained silent for a mont and then said,
“She is who she is… Even if there is that special power surrounding her, I know, it’s her. Even if… those are rely illusory friends, perhaps, to her…”
“Is it related to her background?”
“Luo Xiaoxiao? The missing person from Maomu City? Does the file really pertain to her?”
Receiving the file from his subordinates, Captain Yang glanced at the information and asked in astonishnt. It wasn’t just single-parenthood; although nominally living with her father, she was actually living independently.
According to the records, perhaps it was due to the kindness she showed stray Spirit Beasts in her childhood that she received help later. After her mother passed away and her father stopped caring, those stray Spirit Beasts beca her sustaining strength.
Though they rely wandered the city, they were still Spirit Beasts. Under the care of humans, the power they wielded allowed them to earn enough for Luo Xiaoxiao to live.
However, those stray Spirit Beasts didn’t necessarily stay in one city. The Spirit Beasts helping Luo Xiaoxiao were mostly in search of sothing, not lingering long in Maomu City. Recently, after the last Spirit Beast from the initial group helping her left Maomu City, she seed to start rejecting help from other stray Spirit Beasts.
Despite her age, living independently seed too difficult, and her disappearance likely wouldn’t even have been recorded in the Special Duty Team’s files without Yang Hongzhi and his team’s multiple investigations…
“Also a pitiable person, but that’s no excuse for your misdeeds…”
Sighing, Captain Yang said softly. Even though they found Luo Xiaoxiao’s file, it was of little use to them. Knowing her identity wouldn’t change anything.
Feeling troubled, Captain Yang couldn’t help thinking of Feng Yuan. Perhaps seeking his help would be a good choice? Yet, relying too much on soone or a Divine Beast seed unwise. Maybe he should ask ng Binglan if there’s a way to enter that Abnormal Space.
“I see. Her forr companions left, and she beca confused about life? But if that’s the case, how did she acquire control over an Abnormal Space?”
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan pondered aloud. Given Luo Xiaoxiao’s age and environnt, she shouldn’t have access to such things. Was it so kind of coincidence? But what could be her motive?
Feng Yuan hadn’t forgotten the incident with the pink whale taking children. Without it, Ji Wenchang wouldn’t be so worried about her. Her actions were clearly a challenge to official order.
“Is there more information? Think carefully. With just these files, I can’t promise to persuade them to let her go. After all, this counts as a cri…”
Considering, Feng Yuan said, though he didn’t know why, he had a hunch that Luo Xiaoxiao wasn’t intentionally involved in kidnapping the children, or maybe there were other reasons?
