Chapter 325: Chapter 325 Camping_1

"You’ve worked hard~"

After waking up and seeing Xiao Ji still maintaining the position it had before he entered the dream, Feng Yuan gently rubbed Xiao Ji’s head and cheerfully called out. Xiao Ji slowly stood up, after standing, patted the dust off its body, and looking at the sunset, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"I didn’t expect to chat with it for so long, oh well, let’s go back and eat something first."

Seeing Feng Yuan mount Xiao Ji, a little girl asked with some confusion,

"Big brother, won’t you stay for dinner?"

Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"No, it’s not easy for you guys to save up food, I will take my leave~"

Watching Feng Yuan ride off on the Black Giant Bird, the little girl fell silent for a moment, then walked under the huge rock in the village, where she saw the young man from before, kneeling with his eyes tightly closed.

"Brother Xiao Yi, he really didn’t stay."

"He’s gone?"

The young man spoke softly with his eyes closed. The little girl glanced at the young man with confusion and said,

"Yeah, he said that it wasn’t easy for us to save up food, then he left."

"As expected... Uncle Ming, you are still so accurate in judging people..."

The young man murmured as he stood up and opened his eyes, smiling at the little girl, he reached out and ruffled her hair saying,

"Little Mingxin, do you want to come to Brother Yi’s house for dinner?"

"No! You always mess up my hair!"

"Tell me, if I were to protect that village, what would the price be?"

On the way back, Feng Yuan said somewhat gloomily. Glancing at Feng Yuan, the Agunas Phantom spoke calmly,

"I’m not sure, although there isn’t a clear record of it in history, because of the characteristics of the Ming Dream Stone, no matter what, the impact on later generations would be huge."

"I feel somewhat unwilling... why did the benevolent Ming Dream Stone have to encounter such a thing..."

Glancing at Feng Yuan, the Agunas Phantom said indifferently,

"You’re scared, even though for you, no price is too high to pay."

"If my intervention ends up making things worse, that is something I’m unwilling to do, no matter what..."

"Scared, maybe, after all, I need to make sure that history doesn’t change too drastically. Before, He watched over it, and if I accidentally exceeded the limits, He would remind me. Now, I can only rely on myself to be careful..."

"Xiao Ji, you’re flying in the wrong direction, this way, the place where we roasted fish before isn’t in this direction."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji, who had been flying towards Yongning City, made a turn in the air. After a while, Xiao Ji landed on the ground, and seeing the roasted fish still as they were left, Feng Yuan chuckled and said to Xiao Ji,

"These are all yours, let me see if the fish you brought back are still edible."

Seeing the roasted fish and fire looking just as they had before he left, with the fire still at a standstill, Xiao Ji tilted its head in confusion. After a while, Feng Yuan finished checking the fish and said,

"Good, it seems the fish are still fresh due to the effect of Time Stop."

"Eh? Xiao Ji, you’re not eating?"

Seeing Xiao Ji standing there, Feng Yuan was puzzled and then said,

"Just walk over, Time Stop will be lifted as you approach."

Noticing that Xiao Ji remained stationary, Feng Yuan packed up the fish a bit and walked over. As Feng Yuan got closer, the fire began flickering again. Picking up a portion of roasted fish, Feng Yuan held up the stick skewering the fish towards Xiao Ji and said,

"What’s the matter? Do you really need me to feed you?"

"Really, well, it’s not like I have anything else to do, I’ll feed you then."

Seeing Xiao Ji still motionless, Feng Yuan walked over to its side and held the roasted fish up to Xiao Ji’s beak. At that moment, Xiao Ji gently tapped the stick with its long beak, pushing the fish towards Feng Yuan. Seeing Xiao Ji’s action, Feng Yuan was puzzled and said somewhat helplessly,

"Agunas, can you translate what Xiao Ji is trying to do?"

At that moment, Xiao Ji called out to the Agunas Phantom. After a while, the Agunas Phantom looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"It says you’re hungry, you eat first, and it can wait."

"Oh... Why not eat together?"

Feng Yuan didn’t refuse Xiao Ji’s suggestion; after all, he was indeed a bit hungry, too. Seeing Feng Yuan start to eat the grilled fish in his hand, Xiao Ji hesitated before finally picking up a grilled fish from beside the campfire at Feng Yuan’s repeated insistence.

"You’re not planning to return to Yongning City?"

Seeing that Feng Yuan was resting against Xiao Ji after finishing his meal, the Agunas phantom seemed puzzled. Touching the feathers on Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan looked up at the night sky and said,

"Can’t be bothered to go back. Guo Huai is probably engrossed in his research right now, and as for Yao Yin... as long as she doesn’t do anything foolish, I don’t feel like managing whatever she’s up to. Besides, there’s nothing I need to do if I go back; camping out here is much better."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan stood up and waved his hand in front of the puzzled Xiao Ji; with his action, a modern tent appeared out of thin air. Patting Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said,

"You should change back to your original form later. Maintaining this form for so long must be stressful for you, right?"

Although Xiao Ji wanted to persist, once Feng Yuan actively canceled the Coming of the Future, Xiao Ji inevitably reverted to its original form. Holding the fluffy Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan gently poked its round belly and said,

"Alright now, you’re still young; no need to get hung up on these little things. It’s so much better to just enjoy life pleasantly～"

Watching Feng Yuan playfully interact with Xiao Ji, the Agunas phantom sighed and, looking at the night sky gradually obscured by dark clouds, murmured softly,

"Enjoy life pleasantly..."

Sensing Agunas’s dip in mood, Xiao Ji called out to the phantom several times. Seeing the state of the Agunas phantom now, Feng Yuan seemed to remember something and said,

"I remember you were born towards the end of the Mythical Era, right? By then, the whole of Aonia was already engulfed in war, probably not a very pleasant experience, huh?"

After a glance at Feng Yuan, the Agunas phantom calmly replied,

"What are you trying to say? Whether it was pleasant or not, it’s all in the past now. The Mythical Era will eventually be submerged in the endless streams of history."

"I mean, considering when you were born, you’re actually younger than Xiao Ji. Why not consider having a good time for once?"

"My responsibilities don’t permit such indulgence."

"You’re so stubborn. After we deal with Odinis, just set aside your tasks for a while and have some fun～"

Speaking, Feng Yuan suddenly scratched his head as if he remembered something and said,

"Why do I feel like I’ve just jinxed it? Never mind, when the time comes, I’ll talk to Them, maybe They’ll grant you a few months’ leave～"

"There’s no need. I want to finish up the tasks at hand as quickly as possible."

Hearing Agunas’s straightforward refusal, Feng Yuan went silent for a moment and subconsciously stroked Xiao Ji, saying,

"You don’t feel like taking a proper rest first?"

"There’s no need."

"Alright then..."

"No way, I was so careful and you still woke up?"

In the early morning, as Feng Yuan carefully got up, Xiao Ji, who was sleeping beside him, stood up groggily and opened its eyes to look at Feng Yuan. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said helplessly. Seeing Xiao Ji fully awake immediately, he didn’t say anything about letting it sleep more, and he walked out of the tent to see the muddy ground outside the Barrier due to the heavy rain, then looked up at the sky.

The dark clouds in the sky hadn’t dissipated and even seemed to be gathering again. After a moment of hesitation, Feng Yuan turned to Xiao Ji and asked,

"Are we still going to scout later?"

Xiao Ji came out looking somewhat puzzled. Touching Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan explained,

"Although I’m still curious about what exactly happened, it might rain again soon, and I remember you hate water the most..."

Seeing Feng Yuan’s look of regret, Xiao Ji called out to the Agunas phantom a few times; but finding no response, Feng Yuan looked over at the phantom. Agunas’s phantom was floating beside Feng Yuan with its eyes closed, its body naturally swaying as if asleep.

"It must be that the main body has encountered a tough battle and can’t pay attention here for the time being."

Noticing Xiao Ji was somewhat annoyed, Feng Yuan crouched down and stroked Xiao Ji’s head, saying,

"It’s not your personal translator anyway. It’s normal for the main body to be preoccupied when there’s trouble, right?"

Xiao Ji still looked somewhat dissatisfied with Agunas, and then Feng Yuan asked again,

"So, do you still want to scout?"
