Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1183 - 1184: Group Photo

"Big Cat, come here~"

Feng Yuan, with Xiao Ji in his arms, shouted to the Big Cat who was diligently observing the wheat not far away. Kong Qing stood next to Feng Yuan with Pomiti on his head. Xiao Ji’s gaze was fixed on Little Ice Cream, who had run onto Feng Yuan’s head. Agunas was currently at the elevator entrance lounge talking to Veronia, and after a while, Veronia came over, holding a western-style umbrella but not even glancing at the surrounding golden wheat field.

"A photo together?"

Looking at Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji standing at the edge of the dirt path, Veronia asked with some confusion. Agunas had called her over to tell her that Feng Yuan intended to take a photo with them as a keepsake. But why were Qi Chen and the others standing aside?

"Yeah~ Let’s take one with you all first, and then another with Qi Chen and the rest. How does that sound?"

With a cheeky smile, Feng Yuan said to Veronia, then looking at Qi Chen and the others, Veronia nodded and said,

"Sure."

"How about including me?"

Shouting loudly, Gladys strolled over with Lorna. No one knew what Magic Patterns her evening dress was equipped with, but her long skirt swept across the dirt ground without a speck of dust. Lorna, following closely behind Gladys with a look of expectation and fear, took the mysterious gift card she was holding between her fingers and put it away. With a slight smile, Gladys said,

"May I join the photo as well?"

"Of course, you can~"

Without any hesitation, Feng Yuan agreed after looking at Lorna behind Gladys. Looking at Lorna, Feng Yuan felt somewhat puzzled. After all, she did not give him the impression of being as she was now—someone who, when determined to do something, would act without hesitation. Her indifference toward all beings almost made him think she was some special kind of existence.

But now, this... was somewhat different, especially that frightened demeanor. What on earth had happened? Scratching his head, Feng Yuan couldn’t figure out why Lorna had undergone such a drastic change.

"Big Cat, stop staring, come here!"

Seeing that Big Cat was still in front of the wheat field looking at something, Feng Yuan had to shout loudly again. The Big Cat trotted over with a woof as if apologizing. With one hand blocking the Big Cat, who nearly knocked him over, Feng Yuan leaned against Xiao Ji and said helplessly,

"You, really... if you don’t fly, you could still collide with someone."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan quickly got ready to take a photo with Xiao Ji and the others. Seeing Agunas still floating nearby, Feng Yuan quickly waved and said,

"What are you still doing there? Come on over~"

Wagging its tail, Agunas floated next to Veronia. Veronia, holding the umbrella, looked at Agunas and refrained from scolding him out loud. Taking the camera from Feng Yuan, Qi Chen helped Feng Yuan and the Spirit Beasts take a group photo in the golden wheat field.

"Let’s switch to another pose~"

After taking several pictures with Xiao Ji and the others, Feng Yuan directly pulled Qi Chen and the rest to take a group photo. As for who would help take the picture? Well, Feng Yuan and his company were not the only ones here; why not just ask any waiter to help with the photography?

"Would you like to join the tour? Anyway, the photos won’t be ready that quickly."

Having finally finished taking the group photos, Feng Yuan invited Gladys, who shook her head and said,

"I wouldn’t want to interrupt your good time."

"Why do I feel like there’s something odd about what you’re saying..."

Glancing at Gladys, Feng Yuan voiced his suspicion, but moments later turned to Lorna and asked,

"How about you? Will you join us?"

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with dissatisfaction, not quite understanding why he would specially invite it alone. Could it be that he truly took an interest in it? Detecting Xiao Ji’s unfriendly gaze, Lorna didn’t react much; in her opinion, Xiao Ji’s strength was still too weak to pose any threat to her.

After hesitating for a moment, Lorna nodded, and then suddenly spoke up,

"Since you’ve invited me sincerely, it would be rude for me to refuse."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan looked at Lorna with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding what was going on with her. Gladys, however, had a guess—after all, she was quite aware of the nightmares Lorna had been having recently. Still, it wasn’t something she could easily discuss with Feng Yuan; she hoped Lorna would come to terms with it and talk to Feng Yuan herself, Gladys helplessly thought.

After a moment, Gladys said her goodbyes to everyone and headed straight back to the banquet hall. If it hadn’t been for her casual divining that revealed a surprise awaiting here, she wouldn’t have come to seek out Feng Yuan, especially since such opportunities with so many prominent figures present were rare. Previously, it wasn’t necessary, but now she was also beginning to prepare her own network of contacts.

If it hadn’t involved Lorna, she probably wouldn’t have made the special trip here; after all, her attitude towards those so-called surprises was quite similar to Feng Yuan’s—nice to encounter, but no problem if missed. However, it concerned Lorna. Since Lorna had helped her so much in the past, now that there was an opportunity to repay her, she would naturally spare no effort to help.

Watching Gladys depart, Feng Yuan suddenly bent down and reached out to Lorna, saying,

"Shall we go for a stroll around this Golden Manor?"

Startled for a moment, Lorna revealed a slight smile on her face, carefully wrapping her arms around Feng Yuan’s offering arm and letting him place her on his shoulder. Sitting on Feng Yuan’s shoulder, Lorna curiously surveyed her surroundings, while Xiao Ji, puzzled, watched Feng Yuan, not fully grasping what he was up to. Nonetheless, Xiao Ji wasn’t angry about his actions. For some reason, it felt no discontentment with Feng Yuan’s approach.

After wondering briefly, Xiao Ji gave up trying to figure it out and trotted along behind Feng Yuan, walking into the golden wheat field along the small path. The wind blew in waves, and maybe because it was artificially created, the waves of golden wheat looked so orderly. The wheat stalks brushing against it bothered Xiao Ji, who flicked its wings and a dark grey aura swirled around it.

Remembering something, Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan and was about to show off when it noticed that Lorna, who was seated on Feng Yuan’s shoulder, had moved her hand at some point, and dazzling constellations floated around Feng Yuan. The wheat stalks driven by the wind and trying to hit Feng Yuan stopped midair as if encountering some invisible barrier.

Looking at the wheat stalks being thrown chaotically by its own aura, then at those seemingly gently parted by countless hands, Xiao Ji hung its head in an "I lost" manner. Feng Yuan, however, walking ahead, didn’t notice Xiao Ji’s unusual behavior behind him. As for Lorna? She wouldn’t pay special attention to Xiao Ji either. Resting lightly on Feng Yuan’s head, Lorna seemed to greatly enjoy this moment.

Agunas and Veronia noted Lorna’s unusual behavior and surveyed her with some surprise. Veronia chose not to dwell on it and speculated that Lorna likely had no intention of harming Feng Yuan. After all, no matter how eccentric Lorna was, she still fell short compared to Veronia and Agunas. She might last in a one-on-one fight for some time, but if she tried anything against Feng Yuan, they wouldn’t slowly deal with her—they’d take her down in one fell swoop.

Moreover, Feng Yuan could call upon Eclipse and Xilnais for support. These two Guardian Gods, even Veronia couldn’t help but dread them; either of them could easily outclass her in strength.

Closing her eyes and sighing, Veronia realized she still couldn’t accept this flawed attraction. However, considering that Feng Yuan might want a group photo with them, she didn’t head back to the elevator hall to rest. As for the possibility of tripping or getting lost with her eyes closed? Impossible. She could completely make use of her spiritual power to perceive her surroundings.

"Ah ha~ There’s actually a little pond here~"

Following the path as it curved, Feng Yuan saw a glimpse of sky-blue water in a pond appearing up ahead. The well-cared-for landscape fish occasionally jumped out of the water. Taking out his camera, Feng Yuan turned to Qi Chen and the others and said,

"What do you think? Want to take a group photo together?"

Having taken numerous photos along the way, Feng Yuan and his group now understood why the place was named Golden Manor. Although the designs were constantly critiqued by Veronia, from their perspective, it was already beautiful scenery. Agunas glanced at Veronia and flicked its tail—it was truly unexpected for Veronia to be so particular.

"Little Crocodile, why do I feel like you’re not thinking good thoughts about me?"

Opening her eyes, Veronia surveyed Agunas with suspicion. Although his gaze didn’t contain malice, it seemed as if he was criticizing her. This was a special ability she had acquired after their recent arguments, allowing her to easily determine whether Agunas was badmouthing her or grumbling under his breath.
