Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Visiting with Yao Yin..._1

"Struggle then, this is your last chance."

Watching those powerful Guards cursing in a language he couldn’t understand as they battled the continuously appearing shadowy figures, Lao Wei smiled and whispered softly.

The shadows that kept appearing were like reflections of the people themselves, sharing all their skills and expertise except for the elemental attribute of their power. Light and darkness clashed incessantly in the woods, and as the light began to fade, darkness slowly enveloped the Guards. Suddenly, with devout smiles on their faces, the Guards vanished into the shadows, disappearing from sight.

A massive burst of light emanated from the spot where the Guards were, quickly spreading and dissolving everything it touched. When the light finally faded, all that remained was a huge pit. Sea water accumulated on the land converged into the pit, and before long, a shimmering circular lake took the place of the dense forest.

"I certainly didn’t do anything that could be misunderstood. Do you really need to have me come over this early in the morning?"

Yao Yin looked at Feng Yuan with some dissatisfaction. After all, she had been woken up early by Agunas, only to find out that it was because Feng Yuan was looking for her? Had she known this was the case, if not for the concern that she might not be able to beat him, Yao Yin might have given Feng Yuan a good thrashing.

"It’s necessary because today I’m in a good mood and want to take you out around Maomu City."

Sizing up Feng Yuan, Yao Yin said irritably,

"I have Tianxing brother. I don’t need your care."

"Just think of it as me doing a good deed. It’s a shame that Chang’s Gourmet hasn’t opened yet, or I could have taken you to eat something delicious."

"No need, and I think you better change locations now, otherwise I might start to question if you called me over this early just to satisfy your vanity."

"What vanity?"

"How happy and proud does it make you to have a beautiful woman waiting for you at the school gate this early in the morning?"

"I don’t feel that way."

Turning his head, Feng Yuan saw students who had been curiously looking his way hurriedly shift their gaze; after all, Feng Yuan’s notorious reputation preceded him, and they didn’t want to provoke him unnecessarily.

"I remember there’s a cake shop at the entrance of the Great Library that makes decent bread."

"And they even sell bread with Spirit Beast flavors."

As Feng Yuan spoke, he lightly tapped the nose of the Dreaming Dragon Baby perched on his shoulder. The Dreaming Dragon Baby rubbed its nose with a slight sign of displeasure, then suddenly its eyes lit up. It used its head to nuzzle Feng Yuan, salivating and scanning the surroundings with eager eyes. At this moment, the two had just arrived in front of the Maomu Grand Library’s square.

Since it was Friday, there weren’t many people in the square. Yao Yin scanned the area with some confusion and asked,

"What are you bringing me here to browse?"

"Maomu Grand Library, don’t you think such a grand library is worth a visit?"

After staring at Feng Yuan for a while, Yao Yin squeezed out a word,

"Scram!"

"Do you think normal people would invite someone to a library to hang out?"

Even though Yao Yin’s world didn’t have anything called a library, just approaching this place, a wave of revulsion and bad memories surged up. If Yao Yin couldn’t guess what a library was, that would be truly strange.

"What’s wrong with the library? Not to mention anything else, Maomu Grand Library is a historic site. Besides, don’t you think it’s grand?"

Although the view of the building was mostly obscured by plants in the square, they could still see a part of Maomu Grand Library. Yao Yin glared at Feng Yuan and said,

"Do you think it’s as grand as Yun Wu Pavilion’s Book Collection Peak? The Peak occupies an entire mountain!"

"Why do I get the feeling that you have some aversion to libraries?"

"Every time I made a mistake, my father’s punishment was to lock me in the Book Collection Peak. Can you imagine what it feels like not to be able to come out until you’ve read ten books?"

"Can’t be that bad, right? It’s just ten books."

"Here, take this!"

As she spoke, Yao Yin pulled out a thick book from her belongings and tossed it to Feng Yuan. Catching it, Feng Yuan flipped through it and said without a word,

"Your book is space-compressed, isn’t it? Does it contain about as much content as a whole bookshelf’s worth of normal books?"

"The books in the library are all like this."

"Well, that’s indeed quite difficult for people..."

Handing back the book to Yao Yin, Feng Yuan put Xiao Ji on his head and said

"Let’s go, let’s eat something, after eating I’ll take you for a tour around the library~"

"What’s there to tour..."

Yao Yin looked at Feng Yuan somewhat speechlessly, while the Dreaming Dragon Baby drooled curiously, looking around to see where the cake shop Feng Yuan mentioned actually was.

"There are some shops inside, selling souvenirs and snacks, of course, you can’t take food out of the restaurant."

"Why would a library have souvenirs and snacks for sale... Are all the libraries here so weird?"

"Only Maomu Grand Library has them, since it’s a historic building. Not everyone who comes here is looking for information; some might be tourists visiting, and of course, you must keep quiet when inside."

"I don’t quite understand you guys, why you would be interested in a library..."

"This bread is quite delicious, though."

In the cake shop, Yao Yin was savoring the bread in her hands and said with some confusion

"Why did you stop me from getting those cakes? I can’t eat much bread."

"Because the owner of this place is a bit mystical..."

"The taste of his cakes compared to his bread is much worse, but in terms of appearance, it’s better than the bread... so..."

"If you don’t believe it, you can try for yourself."

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Yao Yin leaned back in her chair, nibbling on her bread and said

"No need, I believe you wouldn’t deceive me on this sort of thing."

After the Dreaming Dragon Baby finished the bread in its claw, it saw Feng Yuan tearing his bread into small pieces and feeding them to Xiao Ji pecking at the side. Seeing Xiao Ji sitting comfortably on the table enjoying Feng Yuan’s service, the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s eyes swiveled, and it floated to the counter.

As the cake shop’s counter separated the bread and cakes suitable for humans and Spirit Beasts, it was common for customers to let their Spirit Beasts pick out their own food in the store.

The employee in charge of the Spirit Beast counter took the menu from the Dreaming Dragon Baby and smiled as they picked up a small cake on a plate. They gently stamped the plate with an edible seal in front of the Dreaming Dragon Baby before stamping the menu.

The Dreaming Dragon Baby took the plate from the employee, grabbed the menu with its claw, and floated back to Feng Yuan’s side. It proudly shook the plate in its claws at Xiao Ji before settling down to eagerly taste the cake.

"It seems you really don’t deceive people over these small matters."

Noticing the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s look of utter disappointment after its first bite, Yao Yin immediately knew Feng Yuan hadn’t deceived her. Despite her short time with the Dreaming Dragon Baby, she could easily guess that it belonged to the picky type of Spirit Beast; if the taste wasn’t bad, it wouldn’t have shown that expression.

Xiao Ji glanced at the Dreaming Dragon Baby and suddenly showed a cheeky grin. Feng Yuan, noticing Xiao Ji’s actions, rubbed its head and said

"Really, stop making fun of it, okay? But I remember that cake as only being so-so, not bad enough to make that face..."

Seeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby looking as if it had eaten something awful, Feng Yuan scratched his head in confusion, after all, he had been busy feeding Xiao Ji and hadn’t noticed the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s provocative behavior toward Xiao Ji.

"It’s probably just disappointment, after all, it seems to have discerning taste. If it suddenly tastes something very different from what it expected, such a reaction is normal."

Hearing Yao Yin’s explanation, Feng Yuan poked the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s head and laughed

"Didn’t you hear what I just said? This shop only makes good bread. The rest is pretty average."

"Don’t you think it’s a bit improper to say things like that in someone else’s shop?"

"No, the owner himself has put up signs at the counter, ’Significant difference in taste between cakes and bread, please choose carefully.’"

"And the regular customers all know this."
