Capítulo 1934: Chapter 1935: Conflicted Xiao Ji
With a light chuckle, Veronia did not refute, as Feng Yuan was stating the truth; being able to withstand attacks from Divine Beasts without being destroyed is far more terrifying than any other Domain, and it’s hard to imagine such a thing existing in the Data Domain.
Thinking of that half-Divine Beast, Veronia said sowhat helplessly,
“It’s a pity its Divine Beast evolution was interrupted; otherwise, the Data Domain might have welcod its own administrator.”
“Perhaps the Data Domain doesn’t currently need a Divine Beast’s protection? Or maybe the Data Spirit Fox doesn’t yet have the ability to take over the Divine Beast position, but the Data Domain is still operating normally, isn’t it?”
Feng Yuan knew precisely which one Veronia was referring to, but he didn’t see it as a problem; after all, from Xiao Ji’s situation, it was clear. Although the Data Spirit Fox is much older than Xiao Ji, making it manage the Data Domain doesn’t seem quite appropriate.
If it had little contact with humans or wouldn’t actively approach humans, that would be fine, but the problem is it holds a friendly attitude toward humans.
From a human standpoint, this is certainly good, but for the Data Domain, it’s not favorable. The Data Domain is now more important than other Domains, and if soone with ulterior motives deceives it into indirectly controlling the Data Domain, who knows what might happen.
Veronia hadn’t thought that far ahead; hearing Feng Yuan’s words, she pondered a bit and said,
“Maybe it’s true that the Data Domain hasn’t reached the point where it needs Divine Beast protection, or perhaps the Data Domain has its self-protection capability.” ~
After teaching Xiao Ji how to enter and exit Data City and the training ground, Feng Yuan had to ask Big Cat to assist Xiao Ji and contacted Liao Yu to get Xiao Ji a special permit allowing it to use its Ultimate Move to quickly travel between the academy and the plaza.
There was no choice; Xiao Ji, unlike Big Cat, couldn’t freely enter and exit Data City; to enter, it needed either Big Cat’s help or to use the entrance fixed by Cast Cubes.
Returning to the dormitory, Feng Yuan looked at his phone with curiosity, glanced down at Xiao Ji without saying anything, and Veronia, puzzled by Feng Yuan’s expression, floated on Rainbow Bubbles to his side and asked,
“What happened just now?”
“Nothing, just Qi Chen telling sothing.”
With a slight smile, Feng Yuan didn’t explain, but Veronia’s intuition told her there was definitely sothing up with Feng Yuan, and Tamur, floating behind Feng Yuan, glanced at the phone that hadn’t turned off the screen, understanding why Feng Yuan wasn’t saying what happened.
Noticing Xiao Ji also leaning over, Feng Yuan turned off the phone screen and said,
“No big deal, just Qi Chen saying he’s and Dou Yanlan were planning a couple’s weekend.” ~
Veronia eyed Feng Yuan suspiciously, not believing this nonsense; if that were true, Qi Chen wouldn’t need to send Feng Yuan a ssage.
However, for so reason, Xiao Ji seed to have guessed sothing based on Feng Yuan’s behavior; it nudged Feng Yuan with its head, and Veronia, upon hearing Xiao Ji’s call, seed to understand sothing and said,
“So that’s it, does the ssage relate to Xiao Ji? Or is it…?”
After all, there are only a few things Xiao Ji is concerned about; considering any involvent with Feng Yuan, it’s easy to guess what exactly it might be.
Rubbing Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,
“It’s nothing, really…”
“Are you sure it’s fine?”
Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and spoke; she already roughly guessed the content of the ssage Feng Yuan received. Feng Yuan sighed, casually picked up Xiao Ji and said,
“What’s really good or bad, I don’t care, and there’s no real need, right?”
Since Veronia had already guessed it, Feng Yuan didn’t bother beating around the bush, though he didn’t make it explicit. However, Xiao Ji was sharper than Feng Yuan thought, or rather, Xiao Ji was sensitive on this matter.
Nonetheless, this ti, Xiao Ji didn’t fuss like before. Although Feng Yuan said he didn’t care, did he really think that way?
Little Ice Cream poked out from Big Cat’s head, curiously observing Feng Yuan and the others. Big Cat glanced at Little Ice Cream, now perched on its head again, dissatisfied, shaking itself and even issuing a low warning.
There was no choice; recently, it seed Little Ice Cream had entered an evolutionary preparation stage, leaving debris falling from its body occasionally, and having it lie on its head for a while ant more rock debris accumulating.
But Big Cat and them didn’t quite understand why Little Ice Cream’s evolutionary stage led to debris falling, considering it seed more like a fluffy ice cream ball.
Feng Yuan did notice Little Ice Cream’s unusual condition, but after checking and finding no issues, he didn’t think much of it. After all, many occurrences during evolutionary preparation couldn’t be explained.
Ultimately, Xiao Ji made a decision; it looked reluctantly at Feng Yuan and made a sound, and Veronia, puzzled, glanced at Xiao Ji and said,
“Are you sure it’s not just a whim?”
“What did it say?”
Feng Yuan asked curiously, wondering why Xiao Ji seed like it made a difficult decision, Veronia chuckled lightly and said,
“Did Qi Chen’s ssage suggest they’re going to look for a second Beast Tar?”
“Why did you say that?”
Cursing inwardly, Feng Yuan expressed his displeasure, simultaneously looking at Xiao Ji; he wasn’t surprised that Veronia figured it out, as it was quite apparent, but saying it out loud might make Xiao Ji agitated.
Yet differently from Feng Yuan’s worry, Xiao Ji just gazed at Feng Yuan with teary eyes without much reaction.
Patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said,
“Okay, I don’t have any need for a second Beast Tar, and right now, the spirit beasts around are… plenty.”
Even though Agunas wasn’t around at this ti, Tamur had joined, along with Big Cat and the others; other classmates didn’t have as many spirit beasts around them as he did.
Veronia laughed softly and said,
“But Xiao Ji has agreed, and besides Xiao Ji, not having a second Beast Tar is rather unusual.” ~
Though Feng Yuan doesn’t need to rely on Beast Tar’s power for fighting, having only Xiao Ji isn’t ideal; after all, others typically choose to cultivate more Beast Tars. Moreover, for Feng Yuan, cultivating Beast Tars isn’t a troubleso task.
“Xiao Ji agreed? But I haven’t encountered any suitable ones yet; as you know, I don’t need one, so I prefer to find sothing I resonate with.” ~
Smoothing Xiao Ji’s back feathers, Feng Yuan said resignedly, unlike Qi Chen and them needing to consider team configuration, Feng Yuan wouldn’t face issues even with a bunch of strong offensive spirit beasts.
Veronia humd lightly, saying,
“That’s Xiao Ji’s goodwill; how dare you refuse?”
Looking at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said amusingly,
“Did you really agree?”
Nodding, Xiao Ji made a reluctant sound; laughing, Feng Yuan rubbed Xiao Ji’s head and said,
“Alright then, I’ll go with Qi Chen and them this weekend to see. They’re planning to check out Liantang Town to find a suitable Beast Tar.”
Even though facilities like spirit beast nurseries exist, those are mainly for seniors, and at Qi Chen and their current strength, a second Beast Tar isn’t suitable to be raised from scratch.
Doing so would limit the second Beast Tar’s strength growth in the short term, affecting their spiritual power growth rate. At this stage, human spiritual power growth is at its fastest.
Generally, before the age of thirty, everyone chooses Beast Tars as close to their contract power limit to gain the most spiritual growth.
While Feng Yuan didn’t need it, he wasn’t interested in raising another spirit beast baby. Unless there was a unique bond, he preferred ones like Big Cat and the others.
“Liantang Town? Aren’t you considering Kui Shan Town?”
Veronia chuckled mischievously, rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said angrily,
“I’m not going near that place before National Day ends.”
Although he didn’t admit having a calamity-attracting trait, he avoided places with potential major events, fearing he couldn’t escape if sothing happened.
Besides, Kui Shan Town didn’t have anything special about its spirit beasts, so why bother going there?
Liantang Town’s spirit beast distribution was similar to Kui Shan Town’s, but Kui Shan’s distance from Maomu City was much farther than Liantang Town’s, making it uncommon for anyone to travel from Maomu City to Kui Shan Town seeking suitable spirit beasts.
