Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 115 Dinner Invitation_1

"Phew, if Mr. Yan finds out we just came back from there, I bet he’ll blow his top~"

"Ji?"

"It’s nothing, hey, Big Cat, you’re already playing?"

Feng Yuan was somewhat surprised to see that Big Cat was already sitting in front of the computer, entering the game. Big Cat glanced at Feng Yuan and busied himself with the game. Feng Yuan took out some clean clothes and said to Xiao Ji,

"Let’s go~ Time for a bath~"

"Ji!"

"Ao~"

Seeing Xiao Ji dive under the bed, the Dreaming Dragon Baby chuckled mischievously and used its body to scoop up Xiao Ji, dragging the struggling little thing out. Admiring the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s actions, Feng Yuan praised,

"Well done~ Shall we bathe together?"

"Ao~"

"Ji!"

"You little rascal, why do you hate baths so much? Really now, come on~"

Feng Yuan and the Dreaming Dragon Baby worked together to pull Xiao Ji into the bathroom. As occasional pitiful cries from Xiao Ji echoed inside, Big Cat decided to set up a Crystal Barrier around himself. Najia carefully organized and placed the accessories Yang Hongzhi bought for it on the top bunk. After a long while, Feng Yuan came out holding Xiao Ji, who glared at Feng Yuan discontentedly before jumping down and quickly scampering into its little house. Seeing Xiao Ji’s actions, Feng Yuan lay on the bed somewhat helplessly and started browsing the news on his phone.

"Eh? Martial law has been lifted? Drudgeon stepped in to clear that thick fog? Just as I thought, there couldn’t have been that many accidents."

"Ao?"

Feng Yuan stroked the Dreaming Dragon Baby, who curiously peeked over at him, and said,

"The fog in Cha Mu Town has been dispersed by Drudgeon. The martial law there has been lifted now, but after such a commotion, I doubt many tourists will dare to visit."

While occasionally checking the news and chatting with the Dreaming Dragon Baby, Feng Yuan drifted off to sleep. He was woken up by the ringtone of his phone and answered groggily,

"Hello?"

"Come to your place for dinner? At this hour, I don’t really feel like going..."

"All right, all right, I’ll come over, but it’ll take me quite a while by bus."

"They might like it? I haven’t taken them there before, so I don’t know."

"Okay, okay, stop nagging."

After hanging up the phone, Feng Yuan saw the Dreaming Dragon Baby looking at him with a baby’s curiosity. He poked the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s head and said,

"Qi Chen has invited us over for dinner. Want to go?"

Seeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby appear uninterested, Feng Yuan teased,

"He’s reserved a Spirit Beast Feast from Jufu Tower~ Are you sure you don’t want to go?"

"Ao~"

"Don’t get your drool all over me!"

Seeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby drooling and about to nuzzle him, Feng Yuan stopped it. The Dreaming Dragon Baby, cowed by Feng Yuan’s fierce look, floated to the side and pulled out a tissue to wipe its mouth. Feng Yuan organized his backpack, put Najia on his shoulder, and asked Big Cat,

"I’m going out, you coming? It’s a big meal~"

Big Cat lifted his head to look at Feng Yuan, then shook his head. Feng Yuan went over to the cabinet to get some Spirit Beast Food, placed it beside Big Cat, and said,

"I’ve put your dinner here, don’t forget to eat, okay? Xiao Ji, I’m leaving, heading out now."

Finding no response from Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan walked over with a puzzled expression and knocked on Xiao Ji’s little house. Receiving no reaction, he lay down and peered in through the door of the house, only to find Xiao Ji sullenly huddled inside, looking at him. Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"I just made you take a bath, is it worth all this fuss? Come on, let’s go, we’re going out~"

Seeing Xiao Ji stubbornly turn its back on him, Feng Yuan sighed again and said,

"If you don’t want to go out, then I’ll just leave your share of the Spirit Beast Food at your door, okay?"

"Ji!"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji darted out and glared fiercely at him. Seizing the opportunity, Feng Yuan scooped up Xiao Ji and said,

"I know you don’t like water, but you have to bathe, right? Especially since you don’t have the ability to clean yourself yet. When you learn how to do that, I won’t force you to bathe anymore, okay?"

Seeing Xiao Ji looking at him doubtfully, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly,

"Why would I lie to you? As long as you master the self-cleaning trick, washing will be optional. Have you ever seen me force Big Cat to take a bath?"

Xiao Ji glanced at Big Cat and stopped struggling. Feng Yuan put Xiao Ji on top of his head and, after instructing Big Cat few more times, set out towards Qi Chen’s home.

"Hey~"

"Hey, what... come on in. Dinner’s not ready yet, you’ll have to wait."

Qi Chen opened the door to let Feng Yuan in and said, noticing that Big Cat hadn’t followed behind Feng Yuan, Qi Chen felt a bit puzzled.

"Aren’t you bringing Big Cat with you?"

"It didn’t want to go out, so I let it be."

"Right, what made you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner?"

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen somewhat puzzled, and Qi Chen glanced at the kitchen and said,

"I told my mom about what happened when I got back, she said since you gave us such a valuable thing, the least we could do is invite you over for a meal to say thanks."

"Valuable thing?"

"Yeah, stuff from the Divine Beasts, you don’t have much of that, do you?"

"If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve forgotten all about it, the White Wolf Deity’s teeth are almost gone. Next time I meet it, I’ll have to get some more~"

"You rascal... Aren’t you afraid the White Wolf Deity will get angry..."

"No worries~ It won’t get mad~ Next time I come across Lorraine Tower, I’ll have to ask it for some scales too~"

Qi Chen watched Feng Yuan, a bit speechless, and said,

"Have you become addicted to plucking Divine Beasts or something?"

"Anyway, they’ve got plenty of those things~ Plus, they’re renewable resources, so taking a bit doesn’t really hurt~"

"You..."

"By the way, has your dad come back yet?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some surprise and said confusedly,

"Not yet, the unrest this time is quite serious, what’s up?"

"I thought it was all settled, didn’t Drudgeon already disperse the thick fog? The Guard Squad from the city shouldn’t need to be deployed anymore, right?"

"Seems like there was someone taking advantage of the chaos at another venue, the entire Maomu City is now under martial law, and all Guard Squad members are working overtime. Hong Zhi and the others seem like they will be called to help maintain order too."

"Eh? Who’s that bored to cause trouble at a time like this?"

"Who knows."

Qi Chen said somewhat helplessly, Feng Yuan sat down on the sofa in the living room, Najia jumped down from Feng Yuan’s shoulder onto the table, casually turned on the TV, and then Feng Yuan asked Qi Chen sitting beside him,

"Do you want to hang out together tomorrow?"

"Where are you planning to go? If it’s outside the city, forget it. You’d better not leave the city in the next few days, who knows what could happen."

"I don’t know, grandma is probably busy entertaining tourists, and it always feels awkward to occupy a room there. There doesn’t seem to be anything fun elsewhere, maybe just casually stroll around the streets?"

Qi Chen watched Feng Yuan with a bit of a speechless expression.

"Do you really have to go out..."

"Staying in the dorm, I don’t know what to do, and not roaming around somehow feels like wasting the rare holiday, you know~"

"I’ll pass on wandering the streets... you can ask Xiao Shuang if she wants to go shopping with you."

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Xiaoshuang’s room and noticed that the door was shut, he whispered,

"No, I just want to wander around a bit, with her... better not."

"Then you go by yourself... I’m not keen on aimless wandering..."

"Alright then..."

After enjoying a hearty dinner, Feng Yuan rested for a while and then decided to head back to the dormitory. Seeing that Feng Yuan was leaving, Qi Chen said,

"Won’t you rest a bit longer?"

"No need. I should take this stuff back for Big Cat. If it gets any later, I might end up having to spend the night here again."

"Alright then, be careful on your way."

Feng Yuan stepped out the door, turned his back to Qi Chen, raised his right hand for a wave goodbye, and left. On the way, seeing Guard Squad members patrolling around, Feng Yuan said somewhat resignedly,

"Great, a nice celebration and there has to be trouble, really don’t know what’s going through those people’s heads."

"Ji~"

"Now would be the perfect time for a road robbery~"

The small road near the school seemed exceptionally quiet, perhaps because there weren’t many residential areas nearby and because people were resting during the festival. Feng Yuan spoke maliciously, hoping for some excitement, but unfortunately, he didn’t encounter the anticipated road robbery all the way back to the dormitory.
