Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 104 Night Travel_1
Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Night Travel_1
"It seems the rain summoning technique failed."
"The rain summoning technique failed? Who’s messing around here?"
"No idea."
After a bit of chaos on the field, a young man jumped out to direct the Qingquan Shells to change their techniques. Somehow, they managed to mitigate the issues caused by the failed rain summoning technique. Having enjoyed the performance, everyone checked the time and planned to head back. On the way, they ran into Uncle Bear. Feng Yuan greeted him, and Uncle Bear scanned the group with a smile and asked,
"So you’re heading back now?"
"Yeah, we have to rush to Cha Mu Town tomorrow to see the sacrificial activities~"
"Tomorrow? Aren’t you cutting it too close? I remember the Goddess Ritual in Cha Mu Town starts early in the morning, doesn’t it?"
After a moment of thought, Uncle Bear looked at Feng Yuan with a hint of surprise, to which Feng Yuan smiled and said,
"We plan to catch the night bus over there and camp out for the night~ Then we can watch the sacrificial performances first thing in the morning."
"A night bus, huh? But camping out right now might not be the best choice, the area around our city has been a bit chaotic lately. If possible, it would be better for you guys to stay at a hotel inside Cha Mu Town."
"No worries~ We’ve got a decent fighting strength~ By the way, did you catch the one causing trouble?"
"No, we have no idea who’s behind it. We rushed the rehearsal too much and didn’t consider contingency plans. Xiao Hua is now looking into the issues we’ve identified and trying to come up with measures to address them~"
Seeing Uncle Bear’s reassuring smile as he spoke, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,
"Is this the first time you’re hosting such a large event? Isn’t it normal to have some problems? We need to go, or we’ll miss our ride~"
Watching Feng Yuan leave with the others, Uncle Bear shook his head with a smile and continued walking towards Shanghe Village.
"If only the White Wolf Deity could join us for camping~"
"Dream on, right? Even if the White Wolf Deity weren’t so busy, do you really think we could still camp if it did show up?"
On the bus, Qi Xiaoshuang spoke whimsically, and Feng Yuan promptly put him down, saying, "You’re dreaming, aren’t you?" Discontented, Qi Xiaoshuang stood up to glance at Feng Yuan sitting behind him, then sat back down, turning away to gaze out the window and continue his daydreaming. Qi Chen, somewhat puzzled, looked at Feng Yuan and asked,
"Why must we rush over there overnight? And why camp?"
"Haven’t we never camped outdoors before~ Don’t you think it would be regrettable to graduate without ever having camped?"
"But..."
Qi Chen spoke with a hint of worry, glancing at Dou Yanlan seated in front. Noticing Qi Chen’s gaze, Dou Yanlan’s calm voice came,
"With a senior from Maomu Academy with us, what’s there to worry about?"
"It’s not that, I’m just worried your family won’t allow it?"
"Don’t worry, it’s fine."
Seeing Qi Chen still worried, Feng Yuan gave a mischievous smile and pointed at Yang Hongzhi, who was talking with Najia while looking at the scenery outside the window, and said,
"She said it’s okay, so what are you still worried about? Besides, if you’re really that concerned, we still have a senior from Maomu Academy here~ If he steps in to vouch, there shouldn’t be a problem~"
"You..."
"What’s up?"
Hearing the two seemingly talking about him, Yang Hongzhi looked at them with some confusion. Amidst Qi Chen’s attempts to stop him, Feng Yuan told Yang Hongzhi about the situation. Yang Hongzhi looked at Feng Yuan with a bit of speechlessness and said,
"Are you treating me like an official representative? Even though our academy has a good reputation, I can’t guarantee what other parents might think."
"It’s okay~ If it really comes down to it, I’ll just ask Granny for a favor~"
"Granny Mianlan? Yeah, her reputation is indeed not bad, but for something this minor..."
Yang Hongzhi looked at Feng Yuan with a sense of resignation while Qi Chen covered Feng Yuan’s mouth and said,
"Enough! Don’t interfere in this anymore!"
"Mmmmm~" frёeωebɳovel.com
In the evening, after gathering their things, everyone met at the station. Seeing the large backpack Yang Hongzhi was carrying, Feng Yuan asked with some confusion,
"Why are you bringing so much stuff?"
"Aren’t we going to camp? I’ve brought the tents and stuff."
"Huh? I brought tents and stuff too."
"You did?"
Qi Chen eyed Feng Yuan skeptically, noticing that Feng Yuan was only carrying his usual backpack. Upon seeing Qi Chen also with a large backpack, Feng Yuan seemed to remember something and quickly grabbed Big Cat, who was closely following behind, and said,
"Did you forget I have Big Cat?"
"Huh?"
Big Cat, who was pulled over by Feng Yuan, tilted his head in confusion, as Yang Hongzhi realized and said, looking at Big Cat,
"I did forget, the ability of the Traveler’s Owl to store non-living objects is far superior to that of a Spatial Backpack."
"You stuffed all your stuff into Big Cat?"
"Yeah, otherwise I couldn’t carry so much stuff."
"Well, looking at it this way, Big Cat is actually quite useful."
Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Big Cat with some interest, while Feng Yuan rubbed Big Cat’s head and said,
"Of course, Spirit Beasts can do a lot more than just fight. Otherwise, why would there be a distinction between Spirit Beastmasters and Beastmasters?"
Qi Xiaoshuang looked disdainfully at Feng Yuan and said,
"Don’t think you can trick me into becoming a Spirit Beastmaster like my brother did. I’m a genius and a beauty—naturally, it’s being a Beastmaster that will best showcase my powers—"
"If I wasn’t worried about Mom, I wouldn’t care what you choose. And I only said you could consider becoming a Spirit Beastmaster if you hadn’t made up your mind. When did it become me tricking you into becoming one?"
"Then why don’t you become a Spirit Beastmaster? And wasn’t it trickery to find me all that information about Spirit Beastmasters?"
"At that time you had already gathered lots of information on Beastmasters yourself, so of course I sourced information on Spirit Beastmasters for you!"
Seeing the two start to argue again, Dou Yanlan hurriedly stepped forward to mediate. After a while, she pulled an indignant Qi Xiaoshuang aside. While Qi Xiaoshuang wasn’t paying attention, Dou Yanlan turned and gave Qi Chen a reassuring smile.
On the vehicle, Qi Xiaoshuang deliberately sat next to Yang Hongzhi and inquired about those adventurous stories. In front, Qi Chen, sitting together with Dou Yanlan, heard Qi Xiaoshuang speaking deliberately loud and sighed helplessly. Feng Yuan teased Xiao Ji while looking around. After a while, the Dreaming Dragon Baby seemed puzzled as it looked at the youth sitting next to Feng Yuan wearing a hood. Feng Yuan pulled the Dreaming Dragon Baby over and said,
"Don’t be so curious. If the other person is a bad guy, you’d be in trouble."
"Proud!"
"What are you trying to say?"
As the Dreaming Dragon Baby gestured, Feng Yuan, holding back laughter, said,
"Alright, you just want to say the other party’s presence feels familiar, right? After all, you’ve seen each other a few times—"
"Right? Wu Feng—"
Wu Feng, who was sitting next to him, turned his head in confusion, took off his hood, and looked at Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan suddenly remembered something and looked at Wu Feng more seriously and said,
"Has something happened?"
"Huh? No, or at least not at the moment."
"So there is something going on then?"
Seeing Wu Feng look at him without saying more, Feng Yuan didn’t push further and said to the Dreaming Dragon Baby,
"So, is it someone you know—"
The Dreaming Dragon Baby looked at Feng Yuan with a kind of speechless expression, scratched its head with its paw, and floated onto the head of Big Cat sitting in the aisle. It glanced at Feng Yuan and drifted off to sleep. After a long time, Feng Yuan heard Qi Chen shouting,
"Wake up, we’re getting off."
"Oh."
Feng Yuan rubbed his eyes to clear his head and after a moment stood up to check his belongings, then followed Qi Chen off the vehicle. Once off, Qi Chen asked with some confusion,
"Was there something wrong with the person sitting next to you? They were so heavily covered up on the bus."
Feng Yuan yawned and said, looking at the starry sky,
"If they weren’t well covered, would malicious speculation be better? And it could even attract a crowd of onlookers—"
"That can’t be, can it?"
Feng Yuan, looking at Qi Xiaoshuang not too far away, said in a low voice,
"How can it not be, Wu Feng is after all the youngest Divine Pact Maker in Great Xia—"
"Eh! He’s Wu Feng?"
Qi Chen looked surprised as he watched the departing bus. Feng Yuan yawned and said,
"Of course. Let’s go set up that tent."
