Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 108 - : Reunion with Wu Feng_1

"Where are you going?"

Seeing Feng Yuan intending to sneak away, Qi Xiaoshuang, who was enjoying the shopping, asked with some puzzlement. Feng Yuan scratched his face with his index finger and said,

"Xiao Ji wants some snacks, so I’m accompanying it. You guys go on with your shopping; don’t worry about me."

"Ji?"

"What ’Ji’? You were clearly the one who said you wanted to eat just now."

While speaking, Feng Yuan took Xiao Ji off his shoulder and rubbed it, leaving Qi Xiaoshuang somewhat speechless at the sight of Xiao Ji being massaged to the point its expression couldn’t be discerned.

"If you don’t want to shop, just say it. We’ll call you when we’re leaving."

"Then I’ll accompany Najia around to look at things, and you can continue shopping."

"Okay, we’ll call you when we’re leaving."

Watching Yang Hongzhi leave with Najia in his arms, Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Qi Chen and said,

"Are you planning on wandering around with Ah Mu too?"

Qi Chen was taken aback and glanced at Dou Yanlan beside him,

"I didn’t say that."

Qi Xiaoshuang looked suspiciously at Qi Chen, who, pulling Dou Yanlan along, continued to stroll on the street of specialties, occasionally trying on some local ethnic clothing. Qi Chen helplessly carried Ah Mu along with them. Feng Yuan, walking with Xiao Ji by the riverside, noticed Xiao Ji was a bit upset and rubbed its head gently to comfort it. When they passed a stall selling spirit beast snacks, Feng Yuan’s eyes brightened at the sight of fresh mountain mushrooms,

"Can you sell these mushrooms separately?"

"What?"

"I want to cook the snacks myself, can I buy some of your mushrooms?"

"If you really want them I can’t give you a discount. Are you sure you want to buy them at the market price?"

"Hmm—"

Seeing the vendor look at him skeptically, Feng Yuan simply took out money. The vendor, after taking the money and seeing Xiao Ji curiously looking on his shoulders, reached out to rub Xiao Ji, saying,

"Your Eggshell Chicken is raised quite well. The feathers are glossy and all."

"Of course—"

"Ji—"

The vendor, noticing there weren’t many tourists around, looked at Big Cat following closely behind Feng Yuan and pondered,

"Are you here on vacation?"

"Yeah—"

While replying, Feng Yuan packed up the mushrooms and looked around to find there were steps nearby leading down to the riverbank. Carrying the mushrooms, he went straight there and washed them. Then, looking back at Big Cat, he saw Feng Yuan staring fiercely as he slowly approached, suddenly reaching into his own pocket.

"Wu—Wu!!!!"

"Stop it; I’m just taking something out."

"Wu!!!!"

After some effort, Feng Yuan took the cooking utensils out of Big Cat’s pocket, looking at the feathers scattered all around, somewhat speechless. Big Cat looked at him pleadingly, and after Feng Yuan sighed and helped sort out Big Cat’s messy feathers, he poked the Dreaming Dragon Baby asleep on his shoulder.

"Argh?"

"Wake up, make some fire, let’s cook something."

"Argh?"

The Dreaming Dragon Baby looked at Feng Yuan doubtfully, rubbed its eyes, saw the cooking utensils and the mushrooms in Feng Yuan’s hands, and seemed to guess what Feng Yuan had in mind. It looked unhappily at him, and Feng Yuan, with a bright smile, scratched his head and said,

"Isn’t it just borrowing some fire? Besides, you’ll get a share too—"

"Argh!"

"Ji!"

The Dreaming Dragon Baby looked discontentedly at Xiao Ji, who glared back angrily. After Feng Yuan’s persuading, the Dreaming Dragon Baby somewhat grudgingly breathed out flames, and Feng Yuan took out spices from his backpack to start cooking the mushrooms.

"You really know how to use your spirit beasts."

"Hmm? Eh? How come you’re here?"

Feng Yuan, busy with cooking, looked up upon hearing the voice and saw Wu Feng gazing at him with some dissatisfaction. After Feng Yuan spoke, Wu Feng said somewhat speechlessly,

"Didn’t you recognize me on the bus? Is it strange that I am here?"

"Is that how you treat your Spirit Beast?"

"Proud?"

Seeing Wu Feng squat down to look at him, the Dreaming Dragon Baby gazed back at him puzzled, but since it stopped to look at Wu Feng, the flames went out. Feng Yuan hurriedly reminded the Dreaming Dragon Baby,

"Stop looking at him. The fire’s gone out."

"Proud~"

The Dreaming Dragon Baby glanced at Wu Feng, not understanding, then turned to continue breathing fire. Wu Feng looked at Feng Yuan with dissatisfaction, and Feng Yuan, sensing Wu Feng’s gaze, said somewhat helplessly,

"The Dreaming Dragon Baby isn’t my Beast Tamer contract Spirit Beast; Xiao Ji is. And Xiao Ji doesn’t have Fire Power, so I had to ask Dreaming Dragon Baby for help. Besides, I am making snacks for them, not for myself."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Wu Feng waved his hand and a burst of flame appeared in front of Feng Yuan. Wu Feng said, still somewhat dissatisfied,

"Will this do?"

"It will... but..."

Feng Yuan looked at Wu Feng with some confusion. Wu Feng turned away and stopped looking at him. Feng Yuan scratched his head, signaled the Dreaming Dragon Baby to stop breathing fire, placed the cookware over the flames Wu Feng had conjured up, and while cooking, he said,

"Thanks for the trouble~ Do you want to make some for your Spirit Beast as well? I think it should taste pretty good~"

"This..."

Wu Feng, tempted yet hesitant after hearing Feng Yuan’s words, took a while before he, captivated by the aroma and watching the Dreaming Dragon Baby drool over the mushrooms in the pot, finally approached. Feng Yuan poked the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s head with a chuckle and said,

"Don’t rush; it’s not ready yet. And remember, this is for all three of you. Don’t think about eating it all by yourself."

"Ji!"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji, who had been lying on Big Cat soaking up the sun, hurried over, eyeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby with a look of reproach. The Dreaming Dragon Baby stared back unfazed, while Big Cat sat quietly to the side, sneakily eyeing the food in Feng Yuan’s pot.

"Alright, no more fighting. This is yours."

After dividing the food into three portions and plating it, Feng Yuan handed each of the Spirit Beasts a plate. With the flame gone, Feng Yuan asked Wu Feng,

"Aren’t you going to make something for your Spirit Beast?"

"Don’t have the ingredients."

"Here you go; consider it a thank you~"

Looking at the bag Feng Yuan pushed into his hands, Wu Feng hesitated for a moment before pulling out a small cookware from his backpack, took out some spices, summoned flames, and started cooking the mushrooms. Feng Yuan looked around puzzled and asked,

"Where’s your Spirit Beast?"

"..."

"Didn’t bring it along?"

Watching the silent Wu Feng, Feng Yuan scratched his head in confusion. After a moment, a red little figure surrounded by flames appeared out of nowhere. Realizing Feng Yuan was looking at it, the red figure timidly moved to Wu Feng’s side, using him to block Feng Yuan’s line of sight. Seeing the red figure, Feng Yuan scratched his head and asked in confusion,

"What’s wrong with your Fire Sprite? Why is it like that?"

Seeing the fearful look on the face of the Fire Sprite, Feng Yuan gently coaxed it with kind words. When he realized it wasn’t effective, he looked over at Xiao Ji, who had finished eating and was playing a staring game with the Dreaming Dragon Baby. With a soft laugh, Feng Yuan went over and said a few words to Xiao Ji, who approached the Fire Sprite, looking puzzled.

As Xiao Ji drew near, the Fire Sprite nervously dodged around. After a few attempts, Xiao Ji walked back helplessly to Feng Yuan’s side. The Dreaming Dragon Baby looked curiously at the Fire Sprite, glided over, and the Fire Sprite, intrigued, reached out a tiny hand to touch the Dreaming Dragon Baby. The Dreaming Dragon Baby seemed to have found something interesting and began circling around the Fire Sprite.

"Strange..."

Seeing that the Fire Sprite and the Dreaming Dragon Baby seemed to get along, Feng Yuan stroked his chin and murmured puzzlingly. He glanced at Big Cat and noticed it had run off to the river’s edge. Before Big Cat could tumble into the water, Feng Yuan grabbed him and said with slight resignation,

"What are you trying to do?"

"Meow~"

"Fishing? You might as well forget about it... I’m worried the fish might catch you instead." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Meow!"

"Enough now, do me a favor and make friends with that Fire Sprite."

"Meow?"
