909: Chapter 910: Hot Springs?
Xiao Ji walked to the table with so confusion, looking at the gift box and not quite understanding Feng Yuan’s intention.
Agunas and Veronia, however, directly used their spiritual power to see what was inside and looked at him with so surprise.
Agunas said, puzzled,
“You actually bought it?
But isn’t this thing useless for it?”
“Who says?
Wouldn’t it be fine if it just returned to its original form?”
Feng Yuan disdainfully said, and since Xiao Ji had used his phone before, its short wings in the Eggshell Chicken form could barely operate it.
Veronia glanced at Xiao Ji, who was observing the gift box, and suggested,
“Shall I teach it how to use spiritual power?”
“For now, let’s not.”
Seeing Xiao Ji looking at Veronia with a frightened face, Feng Yuan said cheerfully.
It was probably because Veronia’s overwhelming teaching back at Maomu Academy had caused it to lose itself; now Xiao Ji didn’t want to learn anything from Veronia.
“How ignorant.”
Veronia gave Xiao Ji a look, slightly displeased.
It wasn’t easy to find a Divine Beast that agreed with her philosophy, and yet it was retreating so quickly.
Agunas wanted to say sothing but thought better of it and remained silent.
The Little Green Snake hissed at Feng Yuan, seemingly welcoming him back.
Feng Yuan smiled at it and asked,
“How’s it going?
Any leads on the evolution?”
The Little Green Snake excitedly nodded, its tail tapping its head while hissing sothing.
Agunas was about to translate when Veronia suddenly spoke up,
“He has an idea, but it’s not successful yet.”
Seeing the Little Green Snake look towards him, Agunas said proudly,
“He has so ideas, but hasn’t thought everything through, there are many issues, it might still take quite so ti.”
As he spoke, Agunas’s tail flicked with pride.
Veronia glared at him and huffed before turning away, seemingly annoyed.
Qi Chen watched Feng Yuan, with a sheepish expression, amusedly; he could tell that the Little Green Snake didn’t really like Veronia.
But that wasn’t surprising; she seed sowhat arrogant, and compared to Agunas, who had been with Feng Yuan longer, the snake naturally didn’t gravitate towards her.
“Well, if you need help, just let know; maybe I can offer so assistance.”
The Little Green Snake nodded as if it understood, and Veronia, with a look of disdain, went straight under the bed without a word, busy with sothing unknown.
Feng Yuan turned to Big Cat and suggested,
“How about going for a hot bath?”
Big Cat owed as if refusing.
Veronia seed to rember sothing and popped her head out from under the bed, saying sothing to the little lizard on Big Cat’s head, which imdiately jumped off and scampered under the bed.
“This…”
Qi Chen watched the lizard disappearing under the bed in surprise.
He hadn’t expected Veronia’s words to be true; did it really want to beco a Beast Tar?
A Divine Beast as a Beast Tar?
It felt strange, almost like seeing at a Beast Tar competition, a Divine Beast stepping in to handle the situation itself if its beast faced defeat.
“Don’t worry about it, let the Alliance deal with the headache themselves.”
Feng Yuan massaged his temples, truly unsure how to comnt on Veronia’s actions.
He wasn’t keen on participating in regional Beast Tar competitions mainly due to his own strength, and with Xiao Ji being a Divine Beast, it looked strange but similar aberrations in Spirit Beasts’ attributes weren’t unheard of.
If they competed, unless Feng Yuan himself entered the fray, Xiao Ji’s true nature might get exposed and if soone targeted Xiao Ji, it would be trouble for Feng Yuan.
Seeing Xiao Ji looking at him with anticipation, Feng Yuan chuckled and gently patted its head,
“Don’t be silly, don’t you think roaming mountains and rivers is much more fun than competing in so contest?”
Xiao Ji thought for a mont and realized that indeed, it pursued strength only because it didn’t want to be said to be dragging Feng Yuan down, but it didn’t actually have much desire for power, or rather, it didn’t even know how strong it should aim to be.
“Never mind, let’s not talk about this any further.
Let’s take a bath and rest a bit, Xiao Ji, co on~”
Xiao Ji swiftly dodged the approaching hand of Feng Yuan and, dissatisfied, emitted a scream towards him.
Agunas, speechless, glanced at Feng Yuan and said,
“You said you wouldn’t force it to bathe once it evolved, right?”
“Right, that’s why I’m asking if it wants to join ~”
Looking at Xiao Ji who was hiding far away, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,
“Really not going?
Actually, I was thinking about going to the hot springs together so other day.”
“Hot springs?
You better not run around; if you miss the college assessnt, you’ll be in trouble.”
Qi Chen helplessly said to Feng Yuan.
Every ti he went out, he encountered so mishaps.
The college assessnt was in May, and if Feng Yuan wandered to remote areas, it could be difficult to get back in ti in case of any accidents.
“There shouldn’t be much trouble at Fire Stronghold either.”
“Fire Stronghold?
There are no hot springs there, right?”
Qi Chen was a bit puzzled.
If there were hot springs in that place, people in Maomu City would have ntioned it, but it seed that nobody ever talked about this before.
Shrugging, Feng Yuan said,
“It’s not naturally ford; it’s Yognot using his own abilities to create one near a small stronghold in Fire Stronghold, apparently to boost the local tourism industry.”
“But strictly speaking, it could also be considered naturally ford.”
Thinking a bit, Feng Yuan added, which made Qi Chen ask curiously,
“Why do you say that?”
“Because the area was exposed to magma by Yognot, making that region rich in geothermal resources.
Except for a few elders, the local residents don’t know this was the doing of Fire Stronghold; they just know that it’s a blessing sought from the Dragon God by its Envoy.”
Although Feng Yuan always thought that Yognot looked more like a giant pangolin, calling it a Dragon God seed to have no issues as long as the residents of Lorraine Tower didn’t oppose it.
After all, anyone with bad intentions believing this peculiar title would find it hard to locate Yognot.
Since it was significantly different from the type of Spirit Beast like dragons, Agunas and others wouldn’t have agreed to Yognot’s actions otherwise, given that hiding such a unique Spirit Beast was quite challenging.
“I see.”
Qi Chen nodded.
If Yognot used its own power to support the hot springs, he was indeed worried soone might trace this power back to Yognot’s hiding place.
After all, he had heard from Feng Yuan that Yognot’s situation was quite special; although it was powerful, many coveted its abilities.
“If it wouldn’t reveal Yognot’s whereabouts, it seems there wouldn’t be any major issues.
Having stayed in the Cha Mu Town area for so long without incident, it probably wouldn’t be troubled by such a trivial matter.”
“How about it?
Want to go together?
A chance to experience it first!”
“No thanks, I really don’t have the ti.”
Qi Chen decisively declined, not wanting to miss the college assessnt just for a soak in the hot springs, even though it was only mid-April.
Who knew what Feng Yuan might encounter?
“Alright then.”
Seeing that Qi Chen really didn’t want to go, Feng Yuan, slightly helpless, hugged Xiao Ji briefly and then turned to walk into the bathroom.
“What a pity you can’t stay a few more days, otherwise I could have invited you to the hot springs.”
At the high-speed train station, Feng Yuan said regretfully to Lanadi, who apparently didn’t co to Maomu City as her primary destination and hence did not go to the airport.
“Hot springs?
They’re pretty much all the sa.”
Lanadi said with a smile, even though she didn’t travel extensively like Gladys, as an investigator, she needed to visit various regions and had been to many hot springs, hence she wasn’t too enthusiastic about them.
“Mixed bathing, and you’re not looking forward to it?”
Gladys suspiciously surveyed Lanadi.
After a glance at Gladys, Lanadi helplessly said,
“You should know it’s not possible.
If I agreed, he’d probably drag his classmates along, and I don’t find that worth looking forward to.”
“You managed to understand him so thoroughly in such a short ti?”
Gladys smirked at Lanadi, who, unmoved, simply stated calmly,
“You would see it too; he hasn’t bothered to disguise himself at all.”
