Chapter 1403: Chapter 1404 The Celebration Ends

"I never thought you could mix such a beverage now."

Watching Long Boduo, Feng Yuan said with a smile. At first, Xiao Ji just took a small sip, and after finding the taste quite good, looked at Kong Qing somewhat shyly. However, Kong Qing didn’t mind, hissing and retreating to the side. With Xiao Ji’s reaction, Feng Yuan knew Long Boduo’s experiment must have been a success.

Long Boduo smiled triumphantly and said,

"Hehe~ How’s that? My skills aren’t bad, right?"

"Seeing how Xiao Ji reacted, it seems pretty satisfied with the taste. I just wonder if your mixing success was accidental or if you truly figured it out?"

"Hmm, should I make another cup?"

Scratching his head, Long Boduo said uncertainly, although he guessed that if he tried again, he could probably replicate it. However, he wasn’t sure if his initial success was just due to luck. Veronia glanced at Long Boduo and said,

"Make more cups. If it’s truly an unrepeatable miracle, multiple attempts will reveal it."

Watching Long Boduo head off, Veronia chuckled lightly and said,

"To think he’d research something like this, Long Boduo is really..."

"Is there a problem? I think researching various delicacies is quite nice."

Shooting a glance at Veronia, Feng Yuan replied irritably, while she smiled and said,

"I didn’t say there was a problem, just that his hobby is a bit odd."

Rubbing Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said,

"I plan to get something to eat, what about you?"

"Me? Belusir is still waiting for me~"

Veronia smiled, waved to Feng Yuan, and turned to leave. Feng Yuan scratched his head, a bit puzzled as to why she came by in the first place. Just then, Veronia turned back to Feng Yuan and said,

"Probably by tomorrow afternoon, my rock paintings will be ready. Remember to come by and have a look."

"You’re not dodging payment, are you?"

Feng Yuan was stunned for a moment, but by then, Veronia had already walked far away and hadn’t heard what he said. Scratching Xiao Ji’s neck, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"Forget it, let’s not worry about her. Are you hungry? How about we go get something to eat?"

Xiao Ji shot a glance at Feng Yuan, spread its wings, and squawked, wondering how Feng Yuan could consume so much food.

As Feng Yuan and his group returned to the castle, the celebration still hadn’t ended. Although initially, they were invited to various activities, later they were mostly forgotten by the others, or rather, no one was inviting them and everyone was just entertaining themselves.

However, those outsiders, especially the soldiers supported by Drochkar, didn’t dare drink much alcohol, and as for those from the Divine Beast Hall and the Alliance, they didn’t touch alcohol at all,

Unlike the optimistic people of Wilt Bay, they had long noticed the serious aftermath issues Wilt Bay was facing. If the nearby forest vegetation isn’t cleared soon, they know there’s likely to be a problem with large numbers of regular plants wilting in the future.

But, they couldn’t rely on Wilt Bay locals to help with this, as there were relatively few people around skilled in botany.

In today’s banquet, people from the Alliance and Divine Beast Hall participated briefly before leaving on their own. They knew that apart from waiting for follow-up support, they had to handle the situation themselves too.

Inside Verlun Castle, staff members were still busy. Although Middel allowed the castle staff to have a bit of celebration, since it’s Verlun family’s private property, neither Drochkar nor the Alliance or Divine Beast Hall would directly send staff to help, and Middel didn’t ask them for help. As such, it was mainly staff and Verlun family members handling the work.

Upon seeing Feng Yuan’s group return, the receptionists put down their tools and bowed to them, saying,

"Though the cleaning of living areas has basically concluded, there might be noise from work in other areas. We ask for your understanding."

"Hmm, that shouldn’t be much of a problem, right? I remember the guest rooms have good soundproofing. Just close the window if it’s noisy."

Though it was said, Feng Yuan hadn’t heard much noise in the area, offered a few polite apologies to the receptionist, and continued repairing the castle and clearing the plants. Seeing this, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but ask in confusion,

"Is there really a need to hurry like this? It shouldn’t be necessary to do it overnight, right?"

"If these things aren’t removed soon, they could further damage the castle’s structure. Although the main castle is special, it can’t be delayed too much."

"By the way, due to these rampant plants, access to the outer castle is temporarily suspended. If you plan to tour the outer castle, you might have to adjust your timing."

Answering Feng Yuan’s queries, the receptionist recalled something and said. Feng Yuan shook his head and replied,

"We’ve already been there, so there’s no need to revisit."

As they walked, Feng Yuan and his group saw many busy staff members. Qi Chen curiously asked,

"Why are they willingly working overnight?"

"It’s probably because the Verlun family is paying a hefty sum, though I doubt they’re being forced."

Dou Yanlan commented thoughtfully, observing that neither the receptionist nor any drudging staff they encountered appeared as though they were forced to work overtime unwillingly. In fact, they seemed quite dedicated to managing the plants.

"Using bonuses to motivate. It’s really..."

Qi Chen sighed, not knowing how to comment on it. Logically, the Verlun family handling it this way didn’t seem wrong, yet Qi Chen felt unsettled.

"A common practice. For nobles, seeking national or Alliance help for such manageable matters is quite embarrassing." <a href="https://.com">.com

Yang Hongzhi didn’t have much of an opinion, and Najia, understanding Qi Chen’s thoughts, chuckled and explained,

"Their approach isn’t bad, really. At least the money for repairing this area is paid by the Verlun family themselves. Whether or not they spend money to accelerate the repairs, that’s their business isn’t it?"

"Besides, they haven’t forced anyone."

Qi Chen knew Najia’s words were meant for him, but still felt uncomfortable about the situation. Dou Yanlan smiled slightly and whispered something to Qi Chen alone; among the group, perhaps only Qi Chen felt bothered.

As for Feng Yuan, he’d long since grown used to such practices, or rather, saw it as a good thing, knowing for sure the Verlun family paid more than just money; otherwise, the workers wouldn’t be this diligent.

Agunas didn’t care at all; human affairs had nothing to do with it.

Back in the room, Feng Yuan lay on the bed and pulled out his phone to check the map Middel had given him. Middel likely intended good relations and specially sent him a map of Spiritual Medicine distribution nearby. With that map, he wouldn’t need to use his divine sense to cover large areas to pinpoint Spiritual Medicine clusters.

"Tomorrow you guys are going to gather Spiritual Medicine, I... probably won’t be much help..."

Long Boduo nervously glanced at Feng Yuan and said. Feng Yuan turned to look at Long Boduo and amusingly replied,

"You don’t plan on tagging along? Are you going to help in town?"

"No, I want to continue with the Naughty Ghosts during the day~"

"Did you ask them?"

Hearing Long Boduo mention the Naughty Ghosts, Feng Yuan asked curiously. Not that he expected the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts to only act at night, but right now, they probably wouldn’t have time for mischief.

Lowering his head, Long Boduo said sheepishly,

"No, but I think it should be fine~"

"You’d better ask them, though during the day, everyone’s busy rebuilding Wilt Bay. You might not find a target for your mischief."

Glancing at Long Boduo, Feng Yuan recalled something and said,

"Just don’t involve me. I plan to use Long to clear those plants tomorrow. If you cause trouble, I can’t guarantee you won’t be accidentally harmed."

"Got it, I’ll go ask them now."

Long Boduo stated, then jumped out the nearby window. Watching him leave, Feng Yuan uncomfortably muttered,

"So late at night, still won’t rest?"
