Chapter 271: Chapter 271 Celebration Party_1

Upon learning that Feng Yuan only occasionally sought the help of Lorraine Tower or White Wolf Deity to return to the past, Elder Li and the others finished inquiring about things related to Mo Li and signaled that the people could leave. On the way, Qi Chen said with some confusion,

"Why is Elder Li interested in this? And he seems more concerned than that archaeologist."

"Probably because of that lamp."

Dou Yanlan said calmly. Qi Chen, not quite understanding, turned his head and asked Dou Yanlan,

"A lamp? What lamp?"

"One of the murals, showing Feng Yuan holding a lamp, and in front of the lamp, someone who must be a dead person opened their eyes."

"You mean!"

"That’s right, the Cang Ming Lantern can indeed resurrect life, but it shouldn’t be..."

Qi Chen looked around nervously, making sure no one was around, then whispered,

"You must never admit that! Insist it’s false, an exaggeration, otherwise you’re in big trouble."

"Psh, let them bother White Wolf Deity if they dare. The Cang Ming Lantern is a weapon of White Wolf Deity, and do you really think resurrection comes without a price?"

"Every resurrection has a cost, it’s just a matter of how much. Although the Cang Ming Lantern costs the least, it’s also the most difficult to use."

"As for the woman in the painting, it’s probably Mo Ling."

"Mo Ling?"

Qi Chen scratched his head, turned to look at Dou Yanlan, shook his head, and Dou Yanlan said with confusion,

"Who is Mo Ling? There seems to be no record of her in history."

"Mo Li’s sister. As for the lack of records, don’t forget he was the King of Great Li. Although he ultimately destroyed the Great Li Dynasty, erasing one person’s records is not that difficult."

"Mo Li... what kind of person was he... He not only destroyed the powerful Great Li Dynasty of the time but also laid the foundation for later research on Spirit Beasts. Without him, perhaps research on Spirit Beasts would have been delayed for much longer."

"Him? Probably a sister-complex guy."

Back at the dorm, Feng Yuan went straight to bed, and Qi Chen, after arranging his things, glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Aren’t you going to the celebration party?"

"No, you take Big Cat and the others to eat, I’m really tired, and I want to have a good sleep..."

Seeing Feng Yuan’s tired appearance, Qi Chen shook his head and called over Feng Yuan’s Spirit Beasts. Agunas shook his head at Qi Chen, Xiao Ji clung to Feng Yuan unwilling to leave, and Dreaming Dragon Baby was hesitating. Feng Yuan opened his eyes, glanced at Dreaming Dragon Baby and said,

"You go with Qi Chen, Xiao Ji, you too. After all, it’s a celebration party, and you did a lot in the competition. Agunas, if you want to go, can’t you just use a clone technique? That way you can also keep me safe."

After hesitating, Agunas used a clone technique. Seeing this, Qi Chen said with some confusion,

"Aren’t you going?"

"I won’t. I’ve been to too many, not interested anymore. Better to rest properly."

Seeing Feng Yuan yawning continuously, Qi Chen shook his head and said,

"Alright, I’ll bring you back some food. You get some rest."

However, Feng Yuan didn’t respond, apparently having already fallen asleep.

"What is this?"

Looking at the familiar streets, the yellow glow of the streetlights illuminated the sidewalks on both sides of the road, and a large number of sparrows lined up on the wires between the telephone poles seemed to be watching him. Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"Who’s looking for trouble again?"

"Even though I can’t use the Power of Death temporarily, do you really think you can take me down with this? You’re underestimating me!"

Feng Yuan shouted, summoning the pitch-black Ancient Book. As soon as the Ancient Book appeared, the space around him seemed to shatter. Then a gentle voice rang in Feng Yuan’s ear,

"Isn’t this the past you miss the most? Accept it, accept my gift."

"Tch! This crappy thing? The Time Mist is better than this!"

Feng Yuan said, opening the Ancient Book and directly drawing a black halberd from it. Waving it casually, Feng Yuan sneered and said,

"The things hidden beneath the beautiful dream should be released; otherwise, you’ll have no chance!"

No sound came, but the entire street rapidly deteriorated, with the dim streetlights starting to flicker on and off. In the next moment, the lights went out, and the bright moon in the sky was overwhelmed by dark clouds. Howls began to echo louder and louder on the street, and Feng Yuan chuckled.

"Is that all you’ve got?"

Closing his eyes slowly and reopening them, a faint blue light flickered in Feng Yuan’s eyes. He swung his halberd with a sudden vigour, seemingly at a command, and countless twisted, pitch-black creatures surged out from the buildings on either side of the street, their bodies dripping with a tar-like black viscous liquid onto the ground.

In an instant, the street was filled with those strange, dark creatures. Although each swing of Feng Yuan’s halberd could destroy the dark creatures that got close to him, they seemed to pour out endlessly from the buildings like there was no end to them.

"Give up and succumb, for this is your ultimate destination."

"Seems like an idiot who can’t read the situation~"

Feng Yuan laughed heartily and shook his halberd forcefully. Streetlight after streetlight lit up, and dark creatures caught in the light became transparent and disappeared like shadows under illumination. They seemed to fear the light and avoided the lit areas, hiding in the shade of trees. However, at that moment, the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, the moonlight on the ground became brighter, and, after a while, the streetlights went out again and the moonlight turned to sunlight. Now there were many pedestrians on the street. When they passed Feng Yuan, they gave him curious glances. Smiling, Feng Yuan said softly,

"It’s been a long time since I’ve done this..."

As Feng Yuan observed his surroundings, a loud explosion resounded, and the sky was quickly covered with black clouds. Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"I thought you’d be stronger than this. You can’t even break through the Time Mist without someone to control it. So weak."

Taking a glance around, Feng Yuan said with a hint of nostalgia,

"So many years... what a pity..."

Waving his hand, the mist gradually engulfed the entire street.

"Hmm? Agunas, what’s the matter with you?"

"Someone ambushed you?!"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan nervously, and with a smile, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Yeah, some idiot was playing with mirages in front of an expert who plays with mirages."

"Are you alright?"

"What could happen to me? Are you so eager to see me in trouble?"

"Sorry, I couldn’t protect you."

Seeing Agunas apologize in the old custom, Feng Yuan touched Agunas’ head with an amused expression and said,

"What’s there to apologize for? Everyone has their own weaknesses. You were never a Spirit Beast skilled in defense. There’s simply no way to deal with a guy with such strong concealment abilities."

"But at this time... well, since I’m awake, I might as well go check out the evening celebration~"

After a quick shower and a change of clothes, Feng Yuan, led by Agunas, went to the celebration happening at the gymnasium. As they approached the gym, which served as the venue, the noise grew louder, and Feng Yuan slipped in through the side door with a shake of his head.

"I thought you weren’t going to come."

In a corner, Dou Yanlan was feeding Cotton some food while speaking. Feng Yuan took a bite and looked at Xiao Ji sitting atop Big Cat with reserve, shaking his head as he said,

"I came once I woke up, but it seems Xiao Ji isn’t comfortable socializing with others..."

"Won’t you call Xiao Ji over?"

"No, at least half of the eyes here are on Xiao Ji. If it comes over, I won’t be able to eat."

Dou Yanlan said with a light laugh,

"Aren’t you supposed to be scaring them away with a cold face at times like this?"

"I wouldn’t do such a thing at this time. Everyone’s happy, and I don’t want to be cursed behind my back."

Remembering that, although Feng Yuan wasn’t very sociable, no one really talked about him behind his back, Dou Yanlan said calmly,

"Why don’t you like to interact with them? You clearly have the ability to get along with them."

"Different interests and hobbies. I don’t want to force myself to fit in with them, and I have the strength to afford that luxury," said Feng Yuan confidently.

Watching Feng Yuan’s self-assured demeanor, Dou Yanlan shook her head, looking at Qi Chen, who was surrounded by a crowd in the center.
