Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 120 Sudden Mutation_1
Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Sudden Mutation_1
In the evening, when he returned to the dorm, Feng Yuan hauled out the thick quilt and, reaching out, poked Xiao Ji who was shivering in its hoodie, saying
"Shall we sleep together tonight? It’s fine as long as you don’t mind it being stuffy."
"Ji~"
"Ao~"
"Didn’t you sneak in on your own? Why even ask me?"
Seeing a pitiful little head poke out from under the quilt and gaze at him, Feng Yuan said with some amusement, as the Dreaming Dragon Baby kept a tight stare on the quilt in Feng Yuan’s hand as if urging him to hurry up and spread it out. Feng Yuan, somewhat helplessly, glanced at the Dreaming Dragon Baby, lifted the original quilt aside, and seeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby clinging to the quilt, he said helplessly,
"Can you not do that? I can’t lay the quilt down if you do."
After moving the Dreaming Dragon Baby aside, Feng Yuan set the thick quilt in place and, after a thought, folded the original quilt neatly to one side. He then addressed Najia on the upper bunk,
"Najia, is your quilt thick enough? Do you need me to get you something extra to put on top?"
"Gina~"
Najia hopped onto the desk and shook its head at Feng Yuan. Glancing at the Dreaming Dragon Baby and Xiao Ji, who had emerged just their heads from under the quilt, Feng Yuan said to Najia,
"If you feel cold, just tell me, and I’ll see what I can get you to cover up."
Najia nodded and floated back up top. At that moment, Qi Chen walked in with a large backpack, and Feng Yuan, noticing Qi Chen’s load, said with some curiosity,
"Weren’t you just going back to grab a few clothes? Why are you carrying such a big backpack?"
"This isn’t a Spatial Backpack, of course, it looks big."
Qi Chen replied irritably as he set the backpack on the bed and took out Ah Mu. Seeing Qi Chen pull out quite a few clothes, Feng Yuan asked in surprise,
"Why bring back so many clothes? It’s going to be the weekend in a couple of days, this seems unnecessary, right?"
"I don’t want to have to bring a bunch of clothes back over the weekend, and who knows if the temperature will keep dropping? It feels colder now than during the day."
"It does seem a bit colder than during the day, but it’s not as drastic as before. That’s good—at least the school probably won’t have to cancel classes if it keeps up like this."
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, puzzled, and asked,
"You should be happy about classes being canceled, right?"
"Well, it’d be alright if we didn’t have to make them up afterwards~"
"It’s just that if they really did cancel classes, it would be a disaster. Who knows how long we’d have to make up afterwards..."
As Feng Yuan spoke, he took out clothes to prepare for a shower. Xiao Ji quickly burrowed into the quilt, pretending Feng Yuan couldn’t see it. Feng Yuan merely shook his head with a smile, not forcing Xiao Ji to take a bath.
Returning after the shower, Feng Yuan complained somewhat dissatisfied,
"That water was too cold, even turning it to the highest temperature, it was still so chilly."
"The room temperature outside must be very low..."
The two chatted for a while then went about their own business, with Big Cat still wrapped in a quilt busy in front of the computer.
"It seems to have warmed up?"
Woken by the heat in the middle of the night, Feng Yuan lifted the quilt in confusion and found that Xiao Ji and the Dreaming Dragon Baby had at some point crawled out of the quilt to sleep. Rubbing his eyes in bewilderment, he looked out the window, surprised, and nudged Xiao Ji, saying
"Wake up!"
"Ji?"
"There’s a problem!"
Qi Chen woke up to Feng Yuan’s shouting, glanced at Feng Yuan with some confusion, then, feeling something was off, turned to look outside the window and, shocked, twisted back to Feng Yuan,
"Is this an attack?!"
After looking out the window at the blazing inferno in the forest, Feng Yuan shook his head, scanned the dorm room, and with an ugly expression, said to Qi Chen,
"Do you have the outfit that Dou Yanlan made for you here?" freeweɓnovel.cøm
"Yeah, why?"
"You should change into that outfit and then have something to eat..."
Feng Yuan looked out at the burning forest with a sigh, woke up Big Cat and Najia, and took out some Spirit Beast Food from the cupboard, placing it in front of the confused Spirit Beast, saying
"Eat quickly, who knows if there will be anything to eat once we get out."
"What’s wrong? Can’t you bring the stuff with you?"
Feng Yuan shook his head at Qi Chen, pointing at the dormitory door which was gradually becoming transparent and said
"It’s impossible, the protection of the White Wolf Deity can barely keep you from being affected by the time-space correction—it’s already the limit. Hurry up and eat, who knows how history has been tampered with."
Seeing Feng Yuan’s serious expression, Qi Chen realized he wasn’t joking and quickly took out Ah Mu’s Spirit Beast Food. After waking Ah Mu, he fed it to him. Feng Yuan took out two buckets of instant noodles and asked Dreaming Dragon Baby to help boil some hot water, then said
"You should eat something too. You’d better change clothes later, I can’t guarantee that your current clothes won’t be affected by the time-space correction."
As he spoke, Feng Yuan took out the special attire and changed into it directly. Seeing that the dormitory was gradually becoming transparent, Qi Chen hurriedly changed into the special attire. Feng Yuan took out several pieces of special attire suitable for Dreaming Dragon Baby from the cupboard, dressed Dreaming Dragon Baby in them, then threaded a tooth from the White Wolf Deity on a string and hung it around Dreaming Dragon Baby’s neck. Seeing Qi Chen’s puzzled look, Feng Yuan smiled at Qi Chen and said
"Where’s your Wolf Tooth necklace? Put it on, it should at least ensure your safety."
Qi Chen, somewhat puzzled, put on the Wolf Tooth necklace, took the instant noodles handed over by Feng Yuan, and after finishing eating, he looked at the dormitory being eroded by the burning forest until little remained. Feng Yuan sighed and stuffed the things that fell from the cupboard into Big Cat’s bag and said to Qi Chen
"Let’s go, let’s find Dou Yanlan first, and then look for Xiao Shuang and Hong Zhi."
"Eh?!"
"Wait! What exactly is going on!"
Looking around at the various strangely shaped trees on fire, Qi Chen felt he was going insane. Feng Yuan grabbed Qi Chen’s hand and said
"Let’s talk while we walk, finding everyone quickly is what’s important now."
"After all, it seems Maomu City has turned into wilderness!"
As he spoke, Feng Yuan drew out a sickle and chopped up a fiery monkey that suddenly leapt from behind a tree. Seeing the distorted fiery monkey, Qi Chen abruptly remembered something and hurriedly followed Feng Yuan. They hadn’t walked far when Feng Yuan, puzzled, stopped and shouted toward the Black Rock Turtle in front of them
"Teacher Yan! Is that you?"
"Feng Yuan? Are you guys okay? Come here!"
Approaching, they saw Teacher Yan hiding behind the Black Rock Turtle. Feng Yuan seemed to understand something and amidst Big Cat’s discontented fluttering, he took out a set of robes from Big Cat’s bag and tossed them, saying
"Teacher Yan, wear this."
A while later as Teacher Yan emerged in the robes, Feng Yuan stroked his chin and said
"It seems my guess was right, our clothes are all affected by the time-space correction, but... Teacher Yan, how come you’re unharmed?"
"Forget it, let’s not talk about that now, finding people is what matters. Dou Yanlan should be up ahead, and um, Qi Chen, why don’t you go ahead and scout?"
"What are you going to do?"
"After all, you and Dou Yanlan have a closer relationship... If you accidentally see something..."
"Get lost!"
Qi Chen, realizing the potential issue, glared viciously at Feng Yuan. Teacher Yan glanced at Feng Yuan and said to the Myriad Sound Parrot perched on his shoulder
"Look around, see if there are any survivors."
"Dou Yanlan should be at the dormitory at this time; the girls’ dormitory is in that direction. It’s unlikely there are survivors anywhere else."
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Teacher Yan fell silent for a moment then turned to the Meditating Boy and said
"Xiao Tong, go check that direction, if there’s any special situation, come back and let us know."
Xiao Tong nodded at Teacher Yan and quickly floated off in that direction. Teacher Yan stared at Feng Yuan in silence for a while before asking
"Do you know something else? When did you find out?"
"Huh?"
Feng Yuan looked baffled at Teacher Yan, and after a moment, realizing what Teacher Yan meant, he sighed and said
"I just found out recently, otherwise I would have tried to do something earlier, okay..."
