…
Grandma seems to be busy with sothing lately, disappearing all day, it’s a bit worrying…”
Seeing Yun You’s concerned expression, Feng Yuan, holding his forehead, said
“So you haven’t noticed what Grandma is doing?”
“Prying into others’ privacy is not a good behavior.”
Watching Yun You say this in all seriousness, Feng Yuan thought about it, decided not to explain, and placed Xiao Ji on his head, saying
“I’ll take her to the room first.
Yun You, could you help us prepare dinner?”
“Let Zi Huai take her instead; it’s not quite appropriate for you to follow.”
“All right…”
Seeing Feng Yuan turn and leave, Yao Yin felt puzzled, then turned her head, realizing that Agunas was indeed floating behind her, flipping through the Ancient Book.
After a while, a uniford woman approached Yao Yin and bowed,
“Hello, guest, please follow .”
Then the woman noticed Agunas behind Yao Yin and asked,
“Is that your Spirit Beast?”
“It?
No.”
“But it wants to follow ; just ignore it.”
As the woman seed about to dismiss Agunas, who was preparing to follow, Yao Yin hurriedly explained.
She was sowhat worried that if Agunas was driven away, Feng Yuan might create so strange situation, especially since she was well aware that her own identity was quite special and required the attention of a Heavenly Venerate-level being.
“Okay then, please co with .”
“Hey, you seem pretty familiar with this place.”
Watching Xiao Ji dart around the room upon entering, then claiming territory over the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s bed by pressing it with her paws, the Dreaming Dragon Baby glanced disdainfully at Xiao Ji and floated aside.
Feng Yuan laughed and shooed the Dreaming Dragon Baby off the blanket, saying
“This is a spare blanket prepared for guests; let see where the extra bed is…
I rember it’s around here…”
After a while, Feng Yuan found a small bed and placed it next to Xiao Ji’s, just as he finished spreading the blanket, he said, puzzled,
“Why does it sound like Big Cat is owing?”
Opening the room door with a hint of confusion, Feng Yuan was knocked down by a sudden white blur.
Pushing the Big Cat off himself, he said helplessly,
“Co on, get up, you’re pressing down on .”
“w~ w~~”
Big Cat, excitedly owing, got up from the floor.
Najia covered her mouth, seemingly laughing, and after a mont, Feng Yuan stood up, dusted off his clothes, and asked,
“How co you’re here, Big Cat?”
Seeing Big Cat owing and gesturing incessantly, Feng Yuan scratched his head and looked at the ethereal Agunas by his side, saying,
“Translate?”
Giving Feng Yuan a glance, the ethereal Agunas said with so reluctance,
“It says Najia brought it here, and it’s blaming you for not looking for it when you returned.”
Ruffling Big Cat’s head fur vigorously, Feng Yuan laughed and said,
“Wasn’t it so that you weren’t in the dorm when I got back?”
Big Cat owed back at Feng Yuan defiantly, and without needing a translation from Agunas, Feng Yuan could guess Big Cat’s aning.
After giving Big Cat’s head a good petting, Feng Yuan said with a smile,
“I didn’t know if you were busy.
Wouldn’t it have been inappropriate to disturb you if you were?”
“Alright then, since this is a casual vacation manor, you’re not in a hurry to work on your ga, right?
Why don’t you stay and play for a couple of days?
That goes for you too, Najia~”
“Hmm, let check; there should be an extra small-sized bed for you.
I rember there’s no dium-sized bed for Spirit Beasts; I’ll have to get one from Yun You later.”
As he arranged the small bed next to the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s, Feng Yuan said, while Najia pointed at the ethereal Agunas floating beside Feng Yuan with a few worried cries.
After watching for a mont, Feng Yuan understood what Najia ant and said with a smile,
“It’s alright, the ethereal Agunas doesn’t need a bed to rest, and as for its avatar with Yao Yin, I’m sure she won’t forget to arrange a resting place for it.”
Just then, a knock sounded at the door, followed by a woman’s voice,
“Feng Yuan, sothing strange just scurried around here; be on your guard.”
“Is it white?”
“You saw it?”
“That’s it…
It ca to look for .”
Feng Yuan pulled open the door and pointed to the Big Cat inside, the woman outside said with so confusion,
“It?
When did you get so many spirit beasts?”
Glancing around, the woman noticed there were four spirit beasts in Feng Yuan’s room, not counting the Agunas phantom floating beside Feng Yuan.
After all, its ethereal appearance hardly looked like the actual body of a spirit beast.
“I guess it’s sothing from this term, and they’re not all my spirit beasts.”
Looking at Feng Yuan with so confusion, the woman said,
“I should go now, dinner is almost ready.
Co to the dining hall after you’ve settled your luggage.”
“Oh, by the way, Zi Huai sister, can you help get a dium-sized bed for spirit beasts?”
After scanning the room, Xia Zihuai imdiately understood why Feng Yuan had asked for it and nodded,
“Sure, I’ll bring it over later.”
“Thank you~”
“The environnt here is quite nice.
I didn’t expect you to find such a place.”
“What do you an you didn’t expect to find such a place…”
In the dining hall, admiring the distinctively characteristic restaurant, Yao Yin said appreciatively, glancing at Feng Yuan, Yao Yin spoke with so annoyance,
“What do you think?
The person who took to visit the library could find such a stylish place; it’s beyond imagination.”
Shaking the glass in hand, the red liquid swirled inside.
Feng Yuan took an elegant sip and said,
“Don’t you think I am very elegant?”
“You look like an idiot with that gesture, just drinking juice.”
“Tch, such a hard custor to please.”
Feng Yuan pursed his lips and reverted to his casual deanor.
Yao Yin, looking at him curiously, said,
“Although what you just did seed a bit affected, it was harmonious.
I’m very curious about what you did in the past.
Could it be that your father is also a Heavenly Venerate?”
Feng Yuan sighed and stared into his glass, lost in thought for a long while, and said,
“No, my parents were just ordinary people…”
“Then you…”
“A reincarnated deity…
If only I hadn’t awakened…
how nice that would have been…”
Covering her mouth, Yao Yin carefully glanced at Feng Yuan, noticing his sowhat downcast expression.
She brought her hands together and apologized softly to Feng Yuan, pushing away Xiao Ji and the Dreaming Dragon Baby, who wanted to co forward to comfort him.
Feng Yuan managed a forced smile and said,
“It’s okay, it’s all in the past, long forgotten.”
“I wonder what the specialty dinner here will be like, I’m looking forward to it~”
Yao Yin put on an expectant look, skilled in this routine.
Although Feng Yuan saw right through it, he said nothing, looking around and explained,
“The specialty dishes of Cotton Orchid Manor are made from edible materials grown by the Mianlan series of spirit beasts.
While they are pricey, it’s mainly due to the limited production, restricting the amount available each day.”
Yao Yin looked at the fluffy snowball, busy nibbling on small biscuits on the table, and said with so surprise,
“I’ve noticed that people in modern tis seem to care a lot about spirit beasts, treating them as if they were companions.
How co…”
“It’s not about consuming the spirit beasts themselves.
Many spirit beasts, particularly the plant-type ones, constantly shed leaves, petals, and the like.
Even if we don’t harvest them, those parts naturally fall off anyway.
It’s better to harvest them when they mature and cook them.
The spirit beasts themselves are quite happy for humans to pick those mature materials from them.”
“Moreover, they live quite happily in the breeding grounds.
Those who maliciously breed edible spirit beasts for consumption are heavily penalized upon discovery.
You don’t have to worry about anyone breeding spirit beasts like they would animals.
If you don’t believe , you can co with to the breeding ground after dinner and see for yourself.”
Yao Yin glanced at the clock on the wall with so confusion and said,
“It’s already past seven in the evening.
After dinner, it will probably be around eight, right?
Can we still go to the breeding ground then?”
“There are lights.
The Mianlan series of spirit beasts usually rest around eleven at night.
During this ti, they are still lively.
Those people with children probably ca for the Mianlan series spirit beasts.”
Reminded by Feng Yuan, Yao Yin noticed a little girl happily talking to her parents at the side, ignoring the food in front of her, and constantly gesticulating.
Seeing this scene, Yao Yin felt a touch of emotion.
