Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 95 The Black Bead_1

"Hanaesis actually exists!"

"Isn’t that a no-brainer? Plenty of Divine Beasts know that Hanaesis wanders everywhere."

"Really?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan in surprise. Feng Yuan took a pitch-black bead out of his pack, weighed it in his hand, and said in a low voice,

"Granny’s gift is really just right..."

After taking out Xiao Ji’s headband, Feng Yuan picked up the needle and thread from the table, preparing to sew the black bead onto the headband. Qi Chen watched curiously and asked,

"What is that in your hand? Right, you have Hanaesis’s feather, which means you’ve seen Hanaesis, right? What does it really look like?"

As Feng Yuan sewed the bead onto the headband, he said,

"This was sent by Granny Mianlan, said to be an heirloom from Granny Yuan. Since Xiao Ji needed it, she sent it over. As for Hanaesis... I have indeed seen it. It looks similar to a Homing Bird."

"Gina~"

Seeing Najia lying expectantly at the bedside, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"No use, Hanaesis has no fixed abode and simply can’t be found. I just happened to encounter it by chance in the past."

"Why would Granny Mianlan give you Granny Yuan’s heirloom?"

"This..."

Seeing the puzzlement on Qi Chen’s face, Feng Yuan sighed and explained what had happened in Liantang Town the other weekend. After hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Qi Chen fell silent for a long time, then touched Ah Mu, who had unknowingly come to his feet, and said,

"No wonder you all acted so strangely that night. So hadn’t Granny Yuan actually passed away a long time ago?"

"Yeah... According to Granny Mianlan, it seems she died from the recurrence of an old injury... After all, it was from that period."

"What on earth happened during that period... There was clearly no war, but it seems like every Beastmaster who survived that time has various old wounds and is silent about that period."

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen with a complex expression and said,

"That’s none of your concern. You’ll naturally find out when it’s time for you to know. Some things, once known, only bring unnecessary troubles."

Looking into Feng Yuan’s eyes, Qi Chen realized that Feng Yuan was not joking, so he sighed and said,

"Then didn’t anyone stop the Netherfire Lamp from triggering the Ghost Domain Illusion?"

"Why stop it? Its owner has already passed away. Granny Mianlan has tried to persuade it, but if it insists on doing so, what can we do?"

"But..."

"That’s why people try to find willing friends to take care of their Spirit Beasts when their lives are nearing the end. All of Granny Yuan’s other Spirit Beasts are taken care of, it’s just that the Netherfire Lamp has been stubborn about staying with Granny Yuan..."

"Really, why bring up such matters..."

Feng Yuan said, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes. He called Xiao Ji over and tied the headband on its head. Xiao Ji looked at him with a puzzled expression, and Feng Yuan poked its head with a smile and said,

"Now that’s a piece of equipment~"

"Ji?"

"Give the Requiem a try~"

"Hey! Don’t just throw your ultimate moves around in the dorm!"

With a wave of his hand, Feng Yuan raised a White Crystal Barrier. Seeing Feng Yuan’s signal that it was okay, Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment and then started singing that grating song. After a while, Xiao Ji stopped singing the Requiem, looking at Feng Yuan with surprise. Feng Yuan rubbed his ears, smiled, and poked Xiao Ji, saying,

"You noticed, didn’t you~ The Death Black Pearl can bear a certain amount of the Power of Death for you and can also amplify your Death Series moves."

"Ji~"

"Don’t get too cocky. Even with the Death Black Pearl, you can’t recklessly use Death Series moves, especially the ones I haven’t taught you!"

Seeing Xiao Ji’s excited look, Feng Yuan hurriedly warned. He was a bit worried that Xiao Ji might get carried away and forget his previous instructions. Xiao Ji’s excitement slightly faded, and it nodded at Feng Yuan. Noting Xiao Ji’s prompt agreement, Feng Yuan scratched his head, puzzled, and said,

"Why did you agree so readily? I have a feeling there’s a catch..."

"Ji!"

Xiao Ji looked somewhat annoyed at Feng Yuan, who in turn rubbed its head and smiled as he untied the headband, saying,

"Alright, keep the headband for now. You won’t need it at the moment. You should keep it safe."

"Ji..."

Xiao Ji took the headband Feng Yuan handed over, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it back to Feng Yuan, who took it and said,

"Are you asking me to hold it for you?"

Seeing Xiao Ji nod, Feng Yuan put away the headband and added,

"That works too, find me when you need it. Let’s see... I’ll just put it in the backpack~"

"You can take it yourself when you need it."

"Ji~"

"Finally finished."

Qi Chen wiped the sweat from his brow and let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the clothing on the table. Feng Yuan, having just adjusted his headband, walked over to Qi Chen and commented on the clothing,

"Not bad. Oh, and I’ll make the necklace."

Seeing the puzzled look on Qi Chen’s face, Feng Yuan pointed to the metal bracelet lying on the edge of the table and said,

"Consider it a return gift."

"Alright... but don’t make anything weird, okay?"

"Don’t worry~"

Qi Chen felt inexplicably worried as he watched Feng Yuan’s carefree demeanor. The Dreaming Dragon Baby floated over to Feng Yuan pitifully. Feng Yuan smiled, took a scarf from the pile of fabrics on the table, and wrapped it around the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s neck, saying,

"I didn’t forget yours~"

"Ao~"

"There’s also for Big Cat and Najia, but you guys probably aren’t in a hurry to wear them now, right?"

Najia sat on the upper bunk and smiled, shaking her head at Feng Yuan, while Big Cat seemed busy with something and didn’t even hear Feng Yuan’s words. Looking at the chaotic desk, Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen,

"Take what you’ve finished to your bed and check it again; I’ll clean up here."

Qi Chen looked at the messy desk and remembered Feng Yuan pulling out several items from it just moments before. He hesitated but then picked up his finished clothing and went to his bed to check it carefully. After a while, having finished checking, Qi Chen carefully folded the clothing and put it away. Seeing Feng Yuan still tidying up the desk, Qi Chen thought for a moment and asked,

"Was that fortune-telling really inaccurate?"

"Why? Are you interested?"

"A little... I’m somewhat curious, after all."

"Well, let’s go check out the Maomu Academy branch venue tomorrow then. Xiao Shuang and Dou Yanlan should like that sort of thing too."

Feng Yuan said absentmindedly as he sorted through things. Qi Chen, somewhat puzzled, asked,

"How come you seem to have no interest at all? Aren’t you curious about what your future will be like?"

Feng Yuan chuckled and patted the remaining fabric with amusement as he said to Qi Chen,

"I’m not interested. Plus, I doubt she could see my future~"

"You sure are confident."

"Of course~"

That afternoon, while packing up, Qi Chen said,

"You’re not coming back with me?"

"No, I’ll come find you tomorrow~"

"Okay then, remember to call me."

As he watched Qi Chen leave with Ah Mu in his arms, Feng Yuan let out a sigh while looking around the empty dormitory and said,

"It’s happening so fast, high school is almost over..."

"Ji..."

"Wu~"

"Ao~"

"Gina..."

Surrounded by the four Spirit Beasts, Feng Yuan held Xiao Ji and blocked the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s sweeping tail, then caught Najia who jumped into his arms while Big Cat spread its wings to embrace him. He laughed and said,

"Haha~ Dreaming Dragon Baby, stop it. Don’t tickle my neck with your tail fur; it’s so itchy~"

After the commotion, the four Spirit Beasts let go of Feng Yuan, who then wore a smile and said,

"Thank you~"

Najia nodded in response to Feng Yuan, who squatted down to meet her gaze with a smile and said,

"Before, it was always me consoling you. I never thought I’d get comforted by you~"

"Gina~"

Najia shook her head with a smile, then hopped onto the table, looking expectantly at Feng Yuan, who held Hanaesis’s feather. With a sigh, Feng Yuan said,

"You should know that bringing her back is impossible... Even if I use this to summon a false illusion... do you think you’d be happy with that...?"

After a long hesitation, Najia put down the feather. Seeing Najia like that, Feng Yuan felt guilty for some reason. After pondering for a bit, he tentatively suggested,

"How about we find an opportunity to travel back in time with Lorraine Tower and see?"

"Gina..."

Najia shook her head with a smile at Feng Yuan, who sighed and said no more. Looking at the sunset outside the window, Feng Yuan decided to take the four Spirit Beasts out for a campfire cookout in the small forest.
