Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1190 - 1191: The Proposal

After comforting Xiao Ji for a while, Feng Yuan finally managed to escape. Seeing this, Agunas didn’t know what to say about Feng Yuan’s repeated bullying and then comforting of Xiao Ji, but it seemed that Xiao Ji was not particularly disgusted by it. Aside from paying more attention to some of Feng Yuan’s actions, there were no other reactions.

After a while, both Feng Yuans served the food they had cooked on plates, one of which had golden patterns. Feng Yuan handed it to Veronia and said,

"This dish is a sweet and spicy flavor for Spirit Beasts, ask them which one likes it."

There were quite a few stray Spirit Beasts here, and Feng Yuan had no clue about their taste preferences. Therefore, he planned to prepare a little of each kind. Xiao Ji glanced at the food on the plate with some disdain. Even though it liked sweets, it was not fond of spicy. The taste of sweet and sour food seemed better, but pure sweetness was also good.

Ignoring the contemplative Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan continued to cook his food. In a little while, Feng Yuan picked up a plate with feather patterns, dished the food onto it, and poked Xiao Ji with the plate filled with food, saying,

"Want a taste? It’s sweet."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji’s eyes lit up, and it pecked cautiously at the food. After all, Feng Yuan had bullied it with food too many times, and Xiao Ji still had some doubts about what Feng Yuan said.

"Really..."

Seeing that Xiao Ji seemed to distrust him, Feng Yuan shook his head helplessly and turned back to his cooking.

By the time Qi Chen and the others had processed the ingredients, Feng Yuan had almost finished cooking as well. They laid out various dishes on the long table made by Ah Mu using vines, leaving his clone to continue cooking. Feng Yuan came over with a plate to enjoy a delicious lunch. Although they had arrived here in the morning, by the time everything was ready, it was inevitably noon.

"The ingredients aren’t good enough... but there’s no helping it."

While eating, Feng Yuan remarked, as it was a last-minute decision made the night before, he didn’t have time to prepare high-quality ingredients and only picked some from the market early in the morning.

"I think it’s quite good,"

Liao Yu said, puzzled, while eating. Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"You guy, are you even complaining about the food you made yourself?"

"I’m just saying the ingredients could be better; I’m not complaining,"

Feng Yuan said dissatisfiedly while glancing at Agunas. Qi Chen smiled slightly and said,

"Speaking of which, doesn’t the team outing coming up in a few days include a picnic? You’re not preparing for that day now, are you?"

"How could I be? However, going to Cha Mu Town is not just about the picnic, right? I don’t believe that we won’t eat any specialty foods there, right?"

Feng Yuan replied casually, as if recalling something. Although everyone was a local, Cha Mu Town was somewhat far from Maomu City and not everyone had been there for a trip. There were indeed people in the class who had never visited Cha Mu Town. Wouldn’t it be improper to not eat any specialty foods there?

"Do you have any plans these next two days?"

Liao Yu looked at Feng Yuan and asked. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said,

"No, why? Is there something going on? Is the Special Duty Team too busy?"

"No, it’s just... do you still remember the underground sewer?"

Scratching his head, Liao Yu seemed unsure how to put it into words. Ye Hanlei glanced at Liao Yu and said,

"The Maomu City underground sewer had an anomaly before, right? When we thoroughly cleaned the sewer, we accidentally found something strange beneath it."

"Something beneath the sewer? Is that even possible?"

Astonished for a moment, Feng Yuan said with surprise. After all, sewage ran through the sewer all year round. If there was something underneath, wouldn’t it be ruined by the sewage? He didn’t believe that the waterproofing of the underground sewer could last without leaking for so many years.

"It indeed exists. Beneath the underground waterway, a tunnel from the end of the Dynasty Era of the Great Li Dynasty was discovered. As for where that tunnel leads to, we’re not too clear," Ye Hanlei explained. Upon hearing Ye Hanlei’s words, Feng Yuan curiously sized up Ye Hanlei and said

"Are you suggesting that I should go and check out what’s there?"

"Not exactly, I just thought you might be interested."

Ye Hanlei replied with a calm expression. In fact, she did think so. The discovery beneath the sewer had not been made public. They knew about it because the Special Duty Team needed to assign personnel for protection. However, she believed that Feng Yuan would probably be interested in such matters. Of course, if Feng Yuan was planning to go on a trip immediately, she wouldn’t have mentioned it.

"You didn’t send anyone down?"

Looking at Ye Hanlei, Feng Yuan asked in surprise, and Liao Yu glanced at Feng Yuan and said

"Of course, people have gone down to investigate. The archaeological team arrived a couple of days ago, but I don’t expect any results soon."

The tunnel was so well-hidden that if it weren’t for the previous Data Domain anomaly causing damage near the entrance in the corresponding sewer location, they wouldn’t even know something was down there.

Through the damaged area, they successfully found the original entrance, which was very concealed. Had it not been opened from the inside, without detailed information, they wouldn’t believe they could find that entrance.

After discovering this, they quickly reported it and requested that an archaeological team be sent over. After all, excavating Ancient Ruins is not something the Special Duty Team is skilled at, nor is it within their purview.

The initial assessment suggested that the ruins likely belonged to the late Great Li Dynasty period, which is why she casually asked Feng Yuan if he wanted to take a look. Considering that the late Great Li Dynasty was also a magical era and most of the city’s Divine Beasts originated from that period, along with other things that appeared during that time.

She wasn’t worried about being unable to decipher the ruins, but rather concerned that something dangerous might be inside, just like at Lake Bai Dao. Maomu City doesn’t have a relocation plan like Lake Bai Dao. If a significant problem were to arise, it would be troublesome.

"An archaeological site with no results yet? I’ll see how it goes, but I am indeed somewhat interested."

Chin in hand, Feng Yuan spoke with keen interest. He was very curious about what the ruins beneath the sewer actually contained. Given how deeply buried it was, he supposed it must be something important. Maomu City wasn’t the kind of city that had undergone major geological changes, so there was no occasion of something originally near the surface sinking deep down due to an accident.

Although many Spirit Beasts helped during the late Great Li Dynasty, digging that deep was not an easy task. For such a significant operation to take place, Feng Yuan believed there must have been a very important reason for doing so.

"Could there be danger? That’s under the city, after all."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some concern. Why was the Ancient Ruins in Dao Lake City previously left unmanaged? Because once the ruins were unlocked, all kinds of dangerous situations could arise. Even with Feng Yuan present, sorting out a mess would still take time. If there really were an issue, Qi Chen thought it better to let them be. After all, it’s been so many years without any change; presumably, without proactive interference, they wouldn’t encounter any accident.

"There shouldn’t be any. After all, no abnormal Energy reactions have been detected, or they would not have gone down to check directly," Liao Yu explained. Though Energy reactions are not absolute, since some ruins show no Energy response until activated, those are very unique and quite rare. Most ruins, due to a multitude of internal mechanisms, usually exhibit distinct Energy responses.

"With no Energy reaction, maybe it’s something like a library."

Hearing Liao Yu’s explanation, Feng Yuan said with a hint of disappointment, while Agunas looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said

"What are you thinking about? Aren’t you worried that such a thing might cause damage to Maomu City?"

"Not at all, just open the World’s Shadow and transfer the underground part into it, and that would be fine."

Eating his food, Feng Yuan casually mentioned this, and Veronica looked at Feng Yuan with some doubt and said freёnovelkiss.com

"This is possible? Wouldn’t that create a spatial rift?"

"No, using the World’s Shadow normally cannot produce the effect of a spatial cut. If the internal and external connected regions are not large, it can form a sort of spatial passageway to maintain the connection. If it’s too large, then it cannot be transferred into the World’s Shadow."
