Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Unreliable Tour Guide_1

"Then why would it still make a mistake?"

"Because I’ve never brought it here before, this is Xiao Ji’s first time too."

Feng Yuan said, and with a clap of his hands,

"Alright, that’s enough. If you want more, get it yourself, I need to eat something too."

Xiao Ji looked pitifully at Feng Yuan for a while and, seeing that Feng Yuan was unmoved, picked up the menu and went to the counter to choose some bread. Xiao Ji sat there somewhat disappointed, and after a while, Feng Yuan came back with some bread. Seeing Xiao Ji still sitting there, he asked somewhat puzzled,

"Are you full?"

Xiao Ji lifted its head and looked at Feng Yuan with forlorn eyes, then casually grabbed the menu the Dreaming Dragon Baby had placed on the table. Feng Yuan, seeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby struggling with a bitter face to eat the cake, said to Xiao Ji,

"Take this to the counter over there and pick out what you want to eat. Just be careful not to pick anything other than bread. The non-bread items, although not inedible, aren’t exactly delicious either. It would be a waste to take them."

Xiao Ji hesitated, then looked at the Dreaming Dragon Baby, walked over to it and chirped a few times. The Dreaming Dragon Baby raised its head, responded listlessly a few times, and watched as Xiao Ji suddenly started pecking at its cake. Feng Yuan, puzzled, asked,

"What is it trying to do?"

"It wants the Dreaming Dragon Baby to help it get food, but the Dreaming Dragon Baby said it would go after finishing what’s on the plate, and then..."

After hearing Agunas’s explanation, Feng Yuan glanced at the Dreaming Dragon Baby and said,

"Such a blockhead, if it doesn’t like it, just don’t eat it."

"The Dreaming Dragon Baby doesn’t like to waste food."

Feeling that Agunas’s words had an underlying meaning, Feng Yuan looked at Agunas with some dissatisfaction for a while. Finding that Agunas had no reaction, he ate his bread sulkingly. Yao Yin had already finished her bread and was sipping her drink in small gulps. She looked down and noticed Snowy, hopeful eyes fixed on the counter filled with various foods. Suddenly remembering she hadn’t fed it yet, Yao Yin quickly picked up the menu and carried Snowy to the counter.

At that moment, Xiao Ji and the Dreaming Dragon Baby had finished the cake. The Dreaming Dragon Baby grabbed the menu, beckoned to Xiao Ji, and floated toward the counter. This time the Dreaming Dragon Baby didn’t dare to look at the tempting cakes, fearing that it might unwittingly fall for them again, while Xiao Ji looked curiously at the food inside the counter.

Watching them choose their bread, Feng Yuan whispered to Agunas,

"How are things on Odinis’s side?"

"It’s a stalemate. Although there are reinforcements from all over, there’s no unified command – everyone’s fighting their own battles. Plus, it’s not clear what exactly those outsiders are, as soon as the two sides meet, the invaders drop us and focus on attacking those outsiders, as if they hold a deep grudge..."

Stroking his chin and pondering for a while, Feng Yuan asked in a low voice,

"Could those outsiders have escaped from Odinis?"

"You mean..."

"I have a guess, otherwise the reaction wouldn’t be like this, and since when have outsiders started helping voluntarily?"

"You’re not?"

"But are there many like me? I remember you mentioning that there weren’t just one or two of the outsiders who joined the battle."

Agunas was silent for a while before saying,

"So you think the outsiders are unreliable?"

"No, the other side shouldn’t be putting on an act, after all, there’s no point. They also haven’t been working with you, right?"

"Indeed..."

"Then there’s no need to worry about them. If it’s convenient, we can help, but there’s no need to go out of our way to take care of them, probably they don’t need it either."

After a while, seeing Yao Yin coming back with a plate, Feng Yuan stopped his conversation with Agunas and focused on eating his bread. Yao Yin glanced at him curiously but said nothing.

"It’s quite unique, indeed. After all, compared to a library where you can only read, Maomu Grand Library seems to have a very comprehensive range of internal functions."

Guiding Yao Yin around the Maomu Grand Library, whenever they encountered a restricted area, Feng Yuan would have Agunas step forward to negotiate. By leveraging the name of the Divine Beasts, they toured most areas of the Maomu Grand Library, but some secret spots remained off-limits despite Agunas’s negotiations.

At that point, Feng Yuan and Yao Yin were in the snack shop of the grand library, tasting the specialty snacks. The Dreaming Dragon Baby was darting around with a cup of drink, Yao Yin holding a snack in one hand and a drink in the other, while Snowy, clenching a small piece of pastry, sat on her shoulder nibbling away. Feng Yuan put his drink cup on the table and looked out of the window at the grand hall of the library inside and said,

"Naturally, because the Maomu Grand Library used to be something special, a strategic-level repository of Maomu Castle. From the beginning, it was designed with survival functionality in mind. In fact, even now, after maintenance and renovation, the library’s defense capabilities still rank among the top. Some of the later established refuges might not be as secure as this place."

"So that’s why there are so many secret areas."

"That’s how it is..."

"Pity the drinks here are too expensive, otherwise I could treat you to another one."

Giving Feng Yuan a glance, Yao Yin said with slight annoyance,

"No, please, I can’t accept that. You invite me out and then I pay? With those manners of yours, it’s no wonder you have a hard time getting girls to like you."

"Well, you’re loaded anyway~"

"Right, once we’re done browsing around, I’ll take you to a great place~"

"Forget it, it’s probably another weird place like a library again. I’d rather just wander around the streets than go somewhere like that."

"It’s not, it really is a place for leisure."

"Really?"

Yao Yin put down her cup and stared at Feng Yuan as she said,

"What’s the price like? It’s not going to be me paying the bill again, is it?"

"You don’t need to pay, I will. Seriously, it’s just one time I’ve tricked you, yet you’re making such a big deal out of it."

After sipping her drink, Yao Yin stared at Feng Yuan and slowly said,

"I’m afraid it’ll become a habit for you."

"How could it!"

"Welcome~"

"Huh? Why are you here? Did you skip class?"

"No, no, not at all. I just didn’t cancel my leave, that’s all."

"Cancel your leave? Where did you run off to this time?"

Seeing Feng Yuan scratching his head, Yun You looked somewhat puzzled. At this time, she noticed Yao Yin, who was curiously looking around, and greeted her with a smile,

"Hello~ Welcome, do you have a reservation?"

"Well... I’m with him."

As Yun You’s gaze returned to him, Feng Yuan said with a beaming smile,

"She... could be considered a guest, I guess. I took her to the Maomu Grand Library this morning for a visit. She didn’t seem too impressed, so I thought we’d come and bother you for a bit~"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Yun You covered her mouth and chuckled,

"A visit to the Grand Library? That really is your style. Haven’t you noticed that the typical visitors to the Grand Library are senior groups?"

Ignoring Yao Yin’s piercing gaze, Feng Yuan lifted Xiao Ji up to Yun You’s face and said,

"Yun You, dear~ Could you arrange two rooms for us~"

Holding back a laugh, Yun You said,

"You and your subject changes... Alright, we don’t have many guests right now, let me see..."

"By the way, do you need adjoining rooms?"

As Yun You was flipping through the registration book at the counter, she looked up and asked the two. Feng Yuan paused to think, then said,

"Whichever way you find convenient for you to arrange."

"Okay, here’s your key, and here’s yours. If you need anything, you can ring the call bell in your room."

After eyeing the room numbers on the keys, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"One on the left, one on the right?"

"Yes, most of the guests we have right now are families with children, so most of the remaining rooms are single rooms on either side."

"That’s strange, taking kids out at this time of the year? Don’t they have exams to take?"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Yun You looked at him with surprise and said,

"Don’t you know? Because of the first-level emergency situation, many schools have already finished their exams early and are on holiday. That’s also why there aren’t many individual travelers coming here."

"First-level emergency situation... what about the grandmother?"

Suddenly remembering something, Feng Yuan inquired from Yun You.
