Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 119 Strange Changes_1

"Just three more days and we can rest again~"

"If you really don’t want to attend classes, you could ask for leave from some, right?"

"But you always need a reason, don’t you? What should I write? ’I’m not in the mood for class’ or ’Class is so boring I want to go outside’? Would Mr. Mu scold me for that?"

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot, but Qi Chen, a little displeased, said,

"Can’t you come up with a more serious excuse? Besides, with all your messy potions, you could easily pretend to be sick!"

"Wouldn’t that be deceiving? How could someone as honest as me do such a thing~"

"I might believe you if you said that with a more serious expression..."

Feng Yuan smiled and rubbed Xiao Ji, then, looking out at the starry sky through the window, he said,

"Can’t you just pretend to believe me?"

"Xiao Ji~ let’s go take a bath~"

"Ji?!"

Seeing Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji tugging at each other as usual while the Dreaming Dragon Baby, sprawled on the table, humphed, blowing out a disdainful puff of white breath from its nostrils, glanced at Xiao Ji and turned to look at the night sky outside the window, Qi Chen said somewhat speechlessly,

"Didn’t you just give it a bath yesterday? Why are you bathing it again today?"

"Isn’t it getting hotter and hotter? You didn’t see how soaked it was when it came back today."

"Ji!"

"Xiao Ji doesn’t sweat, does it?"

"But it must have played in the water somewhere, and washing it doesn’t take much time anyway, come on now~"

Watching Feng Yuan drag Xiao Ji into the bathroom while it was distracted, Qi Chen shook his head helplessly and looked at Ah Mu, who seemed wilting due to the somewhat hot temperature.

"Why is it so cold..."

In the night, Feng Yuan woke up feeling cold, looked outside the window to the still clear night sky, scratched his head in confusion, and said to Qi Chen, who was also startled awake,

"Do you feel cold?"

Qi Chen glanced outside the window, puzzled, and said,

"It is a bit cold, what happened?"

"Don’t know."

"Ugh, feels like I fell straight from summer into winter after just one sleep..."

Feng Yuan complained as he took out a thick blanket from the closet, and Qi Chen sighed, glancing at the time on his phone. Feng Yuan seemed to remember something and looked at Qi Chen, asking,

"Is your blanket here? Do you want me to lend you one for now?"

"No need, my blanket is right here."

As Qi Chen said this and pulled out his own blanket, feeling the temperature drop even more, Feng Yuan complained,

"This is so annoying, I went to bed in a short-sleeve shirt, and now with this temperature drop, I’ll probably have to wear warm clothes to go out tomorrow."

"Could this be the work of a Spirit Beast? This temperature drop seems abnormal, right?"

"Who knows, huh, so sleepy, I’m going back to sleep."

As Feng Yuan laid out his blanket on the bed and yawned before going back to sleep, Qi Chen shook his head, fixed his own blanket, and as he lay inside, he felt as though he had forgotten something important in his drowsy state.

The next morning, just crawling out of the blanket, Feng Yuan was shivering from the cold and quickly put on the special outfit from the closet he had worn before, while Qi Chen got up and wrapped in a blanket, looked for clothes in his closet, switched to long sleeves and a thick jacket, and then looked at Feng Yuan’s outfit with a somewhat helpless expression,

"Are you planning to go to class dressed like that?"

"I have no choice, suddenly it’s so cold. Who knows if the temperature will keep dropping? If it does, this outfit will last a bit longer. Otherwise, if the temperature keeps falling, I can’t just take leave to come back for a coat, can I?"

"Why don’t you just bring your coat with you?"

Qi Chen said impatiently to Feng Yuan, then suddenly woke up with a trace of fear in his eyes and looked at Feng Yuan,

"It’s not going to attack today, is it?!"

"How could it... well, there might be a chance of that actually..."

"I’ll make a call and see!"

As Qi Chen frantically pulled out his phone to dial, Feng Yuan picked up Xiao Ji, who was curled up, and placed it on his head, saying,

"With all that fur, do you even feel cold?"

"Ji!"

"Look at the Dreaming Dragon Baby, it doesn’t have any fur, and it’s still sleeping soundly... huh?! Where’s the Dreaming Dragon Baby?"

Feng Yuan was quite surprised when he lifted the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s little quilt and didn’t find it, looked under the pillow without any luck, and with some confusion lifted the quilt to find the Dreaming Dragon Baby had crawled inside at some point. The little creature, upon discovering that Feng Yuan had lifted the quilt, growled dissatisfiedly and used its paw to pull the quilt over itself, burying itself inside.

Seeing Xiao Ji give him a weird look, Feng Yuan, somewhat displeased, gave Xiao Ji a rough rub and said,

"It’s fine for the Dreaming Dragon Baby, but Big Cat definitely doesn’t get cold!"

"Meow?"

Qi Chen glanced at Big Cat playing with the computer under the blanket and said,

"You should hold off on that talk and take a look at the situation first, shouldn’t you?"

"Er... Big Cat! You sure move fast when it comes to eating! Understands pulling up a blanket on its own!"

"Meow~"

Seeing Big Cat play pity on him, Feng Yuan said with some helplessness,

"Can’t your feathers keep you warm?"

Seeing Big Cat shake its head, Feng Yuan didn’t know what to say. It was then that Qi Chen, with a grave expression, said to Feng Yuan,

"Xiao Shuang said she was indeed planning to wear a cotton jacket today... she even asked me over the phone what to do..."

"What else can she do? Who would be bothered by whatever clothes she wears?"

"You know that’s not what I mean. Now, should we or should we not..."

"Just go on with what we need to do. If you’re really scared, you can take a day off and run away with her, as long as leaving Maomu City should mean there’s no danger."

Feng Yuan said helplessly, Qi Chen looked at him unsatisfied, Feng Yuan shook his head and added,

"Do you think the special forces and such haven’t considered a sudden temperature drop? Not to mention Captain Yang is still hanging around in our city, so stop worrying over nothing."

"Captain Yang? Who’s that?"

"That guy from the Special Investigation Bureau, you don’t think they’re idiots, do you?"

Reminded by Feng Yuan, Qi Chen realized who Captain Yang was and said with some surprise,

"He hasn’t left yet?"

"Nope, he’s oddly sticking around our city and won’t leave."

"He’s not looking for trouble with you, is he?"

"How could that be possible? What reason would he have to bother me? I haven’t done anything out of line lately."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan took a scarf similar to the one he was wearing out of the cupboard and wrapped it around Xiao Ji, who, swaddled into a ball by the scarf, sat contentedly on top of Feng Yuan’s head. Feng Yuan patted Qi Chen’s shoulder and said,

"Stop fretting over this and make up your mind. If you want to flee, go ask for leave now; if not, let’s go have breakfast~"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, hesitated for a moment, sighed, and followed Feng Yuan out the door. Along the way, they saw that everyone had put on thick clothes, and some had even switched to cotton jackets. Feng Yuan sighed with some helplessness and said,

"How did it suddenly get so cold..."

In the afternoon, the outdoor sunlight couldn’t bring any warmth. After hurrying back to the dorm, Qi Chen searched the cupboard with some resignation and said to Feng Yuan,

"Where’s your cotton jacket? Let me borrow it, I forgot to bring mine."

Feng Yuan opened the cupboard, searched for his cotton jacket, handed it to Qi Chen, and said with some curiosity,

"Can’t you wear the one Dou Yanlan made for you?"

"I don’t want to attract attention like you do. But it’s already noon, and it feels even colder than it did in the morning."

"Apparently, some ancient ’Starry Sky Ice’ exploded, and the cold it released continues to lower the temperature in Maomu City. It’s expected to last a month, I guess. Pity it’s not raining; otherwise, we could’ve seen Maomu City covered in snow~"

"Looks like I’ll have to go home tonight. I haven’t brought over my thick clothes."

After changing into Feng Yuan’s cotton jacket, Qi Chen finally felt warm. Looking at the cloudless sky outside, he said with some helplessness,

"What a powerful ’Starry Sky Ice’... the temperature keeps falling despite the bright sun."

"Who knows? The newscast just mentioned ’Starry Sky Ice’, but who knows the actual truth? Maybe Teacher Yan would know; after all, he has friends in the special forces."
