Chapter 1354: Chapter 1355: Xiao Ji Gains Weight

"No wonder it’s a hotel that only serves specific people, it feels almost like the little teahouses in Bridgewater Town~"

In the room, Feng Yuan looked at the homely decor and said, Veronia chuckled and replied,

"In terms of value, the decorations here are much more expensive than those~"

No matter how nice the teahouses in Bridgewater Town are, they’re still just ordinary places compared to the nobility of Dantia. Holding Xiao Ji while sitting on the bed, Feng Yuan patted Xiao Ji’s belly and said,

"The homey feeling is the same, as for the value, hmph, in the future Xiao Ji’s room will definitely be more expensive than this~"

"When you say it like that, you’re not wrong."

Veronia smiled slightly at Xiao Ji, who was staring at Feng Yuan disgruntledly. After all, Xiao Ji is a Divine Beast, the items in its room will definitely be worth more than ordinary people’s things over time. Xiao Ji barked a few times at Feng Yuan, seemingly unhappy with his actions.

Rubbing Xiao Ji’s belly, Feng Yuan said to the little eagle-like Xiao Ji,

"It looks like you’ve put on some weight recently~"

Startled, Xiao Ji quickly jumped out of Feng Yuan’s arms and started looking around as if searching for a scale. Agunas looked at Feng Yuan curiously and asked,

"How do you know? Don’t mention weight, it’s still growing, even with a lot of exercise every day, its weight will still increase as it grows."

"No matter how much it grows, it shouldn’t have a paunch, should it? Especially since it’s in eagle form."

Feng Yuan said, glancing at the Big Cat nearby, which indeed looked a bit chubby, but the scholar-owl image was like that from the start, so he wasn’t surprised. Xiao Ji, shocked, lowered its head and kept checking its belly, but no matter how it looked, it couldn’t tell any difference.

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan skeptically and then patted Xiao Ji, stunned, said to Xiao Ji,

"What he said seems to be true."

Seeing Xiao Ji flustered, darting around, Feng Yuan said amusedly,

"You’re quite alright as you are now~ becoming like the Big Cat, still quite adorable~"

The Big Cat tilted its head curiously at Feng Yuan, and Xiao Ji, seeing the Big Cat’s plump appearance, panicked and wanted to run out to exercise, but Agunas stopped Xiao Ji and said helplessly,

"You’re not in that much of a hurry, right?"

Seeing Xiao Ji’s anxious look, Agunas said to Feng Yuan,

"What are you up to again? Can Xiao Ji really gain weight naturally?"

"Hey! Don’t just blame me whenever something happens! Xiao Ji ate too many energy-rich foods and it’s my fault? But it’s not a big issue, with some training, that little belly should go away soon."

Looking at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said. Xiao Ji was still not satisfied, staring at Feng Yuan as if expecting a solution. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said,

"Forget about it, even if you are from the Death Series, don’t go doing anything reckless. See, it’s just because your workout dropped suddenly, once the tour is over, you’ll recover quickly, or you can avoid eating high-energy foods for a while."

Although Feng Yuan didn’t quite agree with the latter suggestion, seeing Xiao Ji like this, it would probably worry for no reason. He somewhat regretted teasing Xiao Ji, it was asking for trouble...

After hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji barked at Agunas as if confirming something, and Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"I don’t know what counts as energy-rich food, can’t just stop eating completely, right?"

"Spiritual Medicine and Materials, and food made with those, normal food won’t make it gain weight."

After all, Xiao Ji is a Spirit Beast, even if it ate till bursting on ordinary stuff, it wouldn’t get fat. It’s just that due to touring recently, Feng Yuan had a lot more Spiritual Medicine, and Xiao Ji hadn’t been exercising much, causing this situation.

"What weight gain?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan confusedly. This guy wouldn’t care about its own shape, right? Feng Yuan pointed at Xiao Ji and said,

"It’s fat."

Seeing Xiao Ji pecking Feng Yuan angrily, Qi Chen said speechlessly,

"I thought you were talking about yourself."

Gently pushing Xiao Ji away, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"How’s that possible, though I’ve been snacking a bit more, I haven’t eaten those energy-rich foods."

"Energy-rich foods? Well, Ah Mu has indeed been eating more lately, but there’s no helping it..."

Thinking of Ah Mu, Qi Chen was a bit worried if it was getting fat too, but unlike Xiao Ji, it wouldn’t show on Ah Mu even if it got fat. Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and said,

"Ah Mu eating more would only make it bear more fruit, it’s a Plant-type Spirit Beast, how would it get fat, or rather, its gaining weight would be growing fruit."

"Ah Mu bears fruit?"

"Sort of, it’s all excess energy storage, or it could grow Crystal Crystals on its body, I recall some tree Spirit Beasts inheriting Nainefar’s power store excess energy like that."

Feng Yuan said after pondering a bit, brushing off his clothes, then said,

"Let’s go, explore the castle, where’s Long Boduo?"

Since the other checked in human form, it had its own guest room. Feng Yuan didn’t know if it had unpacked yet, Long Boduo poked its head from the doorway and said,

"I finished a long time ago, but there really seems to be no Ghost Series Spirit Beasts in this castle."

"Seems normal, after all, if you’re not a Ghost Series Spirit Beast Beastmaster, you wouldn’t place them where you live."

Feng Yuan said helplessly, for most people, Ghost Series Spirit Beasts had a poor image, they generally wouldn’t dare get close to them unless necessary.

"But I didn’t expect this place to be so big."

Though it appeared to be a lone castle from afar, Feng Yuan found upon staying that it was much larger than he imagined. Besides the main castle used as the hotel, the outer ring connected by drawbridges was actually part of the castle too.

This place was similar to Noscarte Castle they visited before, a town within a fully functional castle, only in Verlun Castle, the core area and perimeter were divided by cliffs, surrounding cliffs separated the core area from the outskirts.

"I thought the abyss below would be some terrifying place, but it turns out it’s a flower pool."

Looking at the guide map on the wall, Feng Yuan marveled, thinking the cliffs below might house vicious aquatic Spirit Beasts, but the map showed it was the castle’s flower pool, with various aquatic flowers planted there.

"Probably they felt no need for defenses below, this castle doesn’t rely on such mechanisms for protection, after all."

Veronia beckoned to Belusir and said, ruffling his hair, Feng Yuan asked,

"Where should we go first now?"

"How about checking out the outer town first? The castle feels a bit deserted."

Looking at Feng Yuan, Veronia suggested, Najia nodded and said,

"If you’re looking for local snacks, the outer town might have something satisfying, inside... it might be better for you to explore separately."

"Separately? Sounds good."

Looking at Qi Chen and the others, Feng Yuan scratched his head. In truth, they liked different things, and when together, often Qi Chen and the others were following Feng Yuan around things he was interested in. Dou Yanlan tugged at Qi Chen’s sleeve, gesturing him to stay quiet, and said to Feng Yuan with a smile,

"That’s not bad, but shall we check the town’s food first?"

"Sure, let’s go~"

Watching Feng Yuan’s group cross the castle’s drawbridge, Middel sat back at his desk writing something, his secretary hesitantly asked,

"Do you really need to win them over that much? After all, they’re people from the Divine Land Region..."

"It’s not about winning over, just an investment. I don’t know if we’ll need their help in the future, leaving a good impression, what’s the harm?"

Smiling slightly, Middel said, surrounded by a group of Divine Beasts, God’s Chosen, truly enviable... if the Verlun family had such, they probably wouldn’t be trembling... then again, maybe they’d become overly arrogant and court destruction. Ha, who’s good? Who’s bad? Who knows. He was just seeing the world’s instability these past two years, considering his family’s future.
