Chapter 382: Chapter 382 He Nanqing_1

"Xiao Shuang can only be persuaded by you... She seems reluctant to discuss these things with me."

"I’ll do it, it’s not that she doesn’t want to talk to you guys, she just doesn’t know how to express herself, especially with dad, you know what his situation is."

"Sigh, he’s always been like that, he’s tried to change, but it’s no use."

"You should get some rest too. With everything that’s happened, it hasn’t been easy for you either."

After comforting his mother, Qi Chen walked through the dark living room. Najia was leaning by the window, staring at the night sky. Hearing footsteps, he turned his head, smiled at Qi Chen, and continued to gaze dreamily at the stars. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan, who was clearly fast asleep, sighed, and gently knocked on Qi Xiaoshuang’s door.

"Brother? Is something wrong?"

Qi Xiaoshuang gently opened the door and, seeing Qi Chen outside, looked puzzled. Her eyes swept over Feng Yuan, and Qi Chen whispered,

"Let’s talk inside."

Confused, Qi Xiaoshuang let Qi Chen into her room and gently closed the door behind him. She asked with curiosity,

"Brother, what’s going on? Don’t tell me you’ve awakened some evil attribute and want to harm your cute little sister?"

Qi Chen knocked gently on Qi Xiaoshuang’s head and said with a speechless expression,

"What are you thinking? Mom said you seemed off and sent me to have a chat with you."

"Just you?"

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Qi Chen skeptically, pulled out a chair from beside her desk, and Qi Chen said,

"You’re actually worried about dad, aren’t you?"

After a moment of silence, Qi Xiaoshuang looked up at Qi Chen and said,

"Aren’t you worried... Just one attack... and so many people died... Among those victims were members of the special service team and the guards... "

"But even if we stop him, he won’t listen to us, and even if he stays for our sake, would that really be better..."

Recalling their father, who cared deeply for his family and comrades, Qi Xiaoshuang didn’t know how to respond. After a while, she stared at Qi Chen and asked,

"Would you do the same?"

Qi Chen looked at Qi Xiaoshuang with a puzzled expression. Seeing that Qi Chen seemed to pretend not to understand, Qi Xiaoshuang grabbed his shoulders and looked him in the eye,

"Stop pretending! Even though you always act so composed, I know you’re just like dad. When you act, can’t you consider other people’s feelings?"

"Just like with Feng Yuan, if it hadn’t been for Najia stopping him today... To us, maybe we’d just lose a good friend, but what about his Spirit Beasts?"

"Well... he’s always been like that, and perhaps if he hadn’t been stopped then, not so many people would have died..."

Qi Xiaoshuang said with a scoff,

"I’m not one of those who would sacrifice a friend for the greater good. When it comes to saving innocent people or friends, I choose friends!"

"Could it be, you think the opposite?"

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Qi Chen angrily. After a moment of silence, Qi Chen sighed and said,

"Between friends and justice, I might still choose friends."

Qi Chen and Qi Xiaoshuang talked softly in the room, unaware that in the living room, Feng Yuan slowly opened his eyes and murmured,

"Friends and justice? Sometimes you really don’t have a choice..."

He glanced at Xiao Ji, who seemed a bit cold snuggled up beside him. Xiao Ji nuzzled Feng Yuan for warmth, who smiled, lifted the quilt, and covered Xiao Ji with the corner.

"Are we going to see Yang Hongzhi today?"

After getting up in the morning and packing his belongings, Feng Yuan asked Qi Chen. When Feng Yuan woke up, Qi Chen had already been awake, sitting in front of the computer looking at something. Hearing Feng Yuan’s question, Qi Chen thought for a moment and said,

"We could, but where would we go?"

"To find something to eat? How about a gourmet tour?"

Qi Chen gave Feng Yuan a speechless look, then remembering something, he said to Feng Yuan,

"Speaking of a gourmet tour, Hongzhi did mention to me that He Nanqing has been wanting to invite us over. We just haven’t had the time and have been putting it off."

"He Nanqing?"

Feng Yuan looked puzzled and glanced at the Dreaming Dragon Baby whose eyes were shining. Qi Chen thought for a moment and said,

"I think she’s the new Saintess of Cha Mu Town. Didn’t you interact with her before?"

Feng Yuan tried to recall, looking at Qi Chen confusedly and said,

"Did I?"

"I remember that when we couldn’t get into the venue, wasn’t it her who took us in?"

"You mean her, the Saintess?"

"Who else?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and scratched his head while Feng Yuan asked, puzzled,

"We don’t really have any dealings with her, do we?"

"I’m not sure about that, but you decide whether we go or not. After all, she did invite us over as guests, and I bet there will be plenty to eat."

As he gently pushed away the Dreaming Dragon Baby that had floated up to him with drool trailing from its mouth and was looking pitifully at him, Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"That’s not a bad idea, it would be good to check on Yognot as well."

Looking at the drool on the corner of Feng Yuan’s mouth, Qi Chen said with disbelief,

"You’ve got your eye on their food, haven’t you?"

Feng Yuan wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and said,

"No way! That’s a slanderous accusation!"

The Dreaming Dragon Baby nodded its head in agreement. Just then, Qi Xiaoshuang came out with a wolf-head backpack and looked at the two with some confusion,

"Aren’t you getting ready to set off?"

Qi Chen looked at Qi Xiaoshuang and said helplessly,

"Are you so certain that we’re definitely going?"

"Of course, as long as food is mentioned, he’s bound to be interested. Aren’t you prepared yet?"

"He’s only just told me about it, how could I be prepared..."

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Xiaoshuang speechlessly and, noticing the wolf-head backpack she was carrying, he asked with some confusion,

"Is that backpack a replica of the White Wolf Deity?"

Although the White Wolf Deity at first glance looked like an enlarged version of a white wolf, there were significant differences in detail, and Feng Yuan noticed that the details on the backpack were exactly like the White Wolf Deity’s.

Qi Xiaoshuang said proudly,

"Of course, after all, I’ve spent some time with the White Wolf Deity. They’re all envious of my backpack~"

"Did you make it yourself?"

"What else? Can you buy this stuff anywhere else?"

Feng Yuan fiddled with the wolf-head and noticed the texture was quite different from the White Wolf Deity’s. He looked at Qi Xiaoshuang questioningly and, with a glare, Qi Xiaoshuang said with dissatisfaction,

"I couldn’t find any materials that resembled the fur of the White Wolf Deity."

"Is that so? Do you want me to get you some of the White Wolf Deity’s fur?"

"Forget it... I don’t want a perfectly good White Wolf Deity to end up bald because of you..."

Qi Xiaoshuang had learned from Qi Chen that Feng Yuan routinely collected teeth from the White Wolf Deity, and she guessed he could probably get a lot of fur from it, but considering the size of the wolf-head, he would need quite a bit. If it were to be taken from the White Wolf Deity, there might indeed be a bald patch.

Glancing at Qi Xiaoshuang, Feng Yuan said with dissatisfaction,

"You talk as if the White Wolf Deity doesn’t shed its fur."

"Divine Beasts shed their fur as well?"

"What’s so strange about that? Divine Beasts need to eat as well, so why wouldn’t they go through normal biological processes?"

"Let’s go, Hong Zhi and Yanlan are waiting for us at the station."

Qi Chen said to the two as he picked up his backpack, and Feng Yuan quickly stuffed the buns from the table into his mouth and mumbled unclearly,

"Okay~"

"Weird, why are there so many tourists?"

Upon reaching the station and seeing the flood of people streaming out of the exit, Feng Yuan was puzzled. Yang Hongzhi sighed as he looked at the people carrying luggage,

"After all, nearly all places have been attacked, and Maomu City, having eliminated the attackers immediately, has become a preferred refuge in the eyes of some."

"It can’t be that serious... Didn’t Cangshan Ranch just suffer a devastating attack?"

Feng Yuan looked at Yang Hongzhi with some confusion. Cangshan Ranch was the location of the attack that had spread to Meow Meow Paradise the previous day, where the attackers had hit the ranch and then the surrounding areas.

As a major source of Spirit Beasts for the guard squad, the ranch suffered a catastrophic blow in the attack, almost completely annihilating both the stationed guards and other security personnel, along with the Spirit Beasts.
