Chapter 413: Chapter 413 Dumplings_1

"It’s all taken care of; I’ve already handed over the relevant explanation,"

Agunas’s shadowy figure said, flicking its tail tiredly, while Feng Yuan joyfully said,

"Thanks a lot~"

"You rascal... Knowing it would cause trouble, yet you didn’t report it in advance."

After Agunas briefed everyone on some rules about needing to report before using certain special items, Qi Chen realized that if it weren’t for Agunas’s help, Feng Yuan would definitely have been spending the New Year with the special duty team.

"Ah well~ it’s just a small issue~"

Feng Yuan continued to watch the splendid fireworks in the sky with a smile. Qi Xiaoshuang and Kang Ping excitedly took out their phones to film videos. At that moment, citizens who were out for the fireworks all unanimously took out their phones, some taking pictures, some recording videos, and some calling others to come out and watch the fireworks.

Although Maomu City hadn’t announced any fireworks display, everyone thought it was a surprise from Maomu City. After making sure there was no disturbance during a round of patrols around the area, Captain Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the reckless Feng Yuan, Captain Yan felt somewhat of a headache. He couldn’t say he disliked him since he had helped Maomu City many times, but in regular days, the guy occasionally caused disturbances. Even if there might be no loss, it still gave people a headache.

Pulling out his phone, Captain Yan hesitated for a moment before putting it back in his pocket and said in a low voice,

"It’s the New Year, I’ll let you off for now."

"Let’s go eat dumplings~"

Seeing the fireworks in the sky gradually fading, Feng Yuan said with a smile. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and Kang Ping as they tidied up the trash left over from the fireworks and then said to Feng Yuan,

"Alright, we can go back now."

Scratching his head in confusion, Feng Yuan said,

"Can’t we just leave it here?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen said irritably,

"What are you talking about? You clean up your own mess and don’t cause trouble for others, okay?"

Seeing Feng Yuan just standing there while the others cleaned up the trash, Qi Xiaoshuang wasn’t surprised. After all, the crystals Feng Yuan used had turned to ash when released, the trash that was left were remnants of the fireworks Kang Ping brought. Feng Yuan wasn’t close with Kang Ping, so he wouldn’t take the initiative to help.

"Wonder what flavor of dumplings we’ll get~"

Looking at the dumplings on the table, Feng Yuan said expectantly. Towards the end of dumpling making, Feng Yuan suggested adding a bit of fun, and everyone created a dish of multi-flavored dumplings. All kinds of bizarre seasonings were added; Pomiti, possibly sensing danger or for some other reason, only scooped up the round dumplings she made herself when it came time to eat.

The Dreaming Dragon Baby selectively scooped up the prettier dumplings, Feng Yuan picked some less-than-perfectly shaped dumplings and then started choosing the more beautiful ones. Seeing that Qi Chen only scooped up the less attractive dumplings for his mother, Qi Xiaoshuang said discontentedly,

"Bro! Why are you like this!"

"What’s wrong?"

"Why do you only scoop up the ugliest dumplings for mom?"

Qi Chen hesitated, not sure if he should say it or not. After glancing at Qi Xiaoshuang, Feng Yuan said calmly,

"Don’t you know how to be considerate to adults? Should they really be the ones to eat those weird dumplings?"

"What?!"

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan in surprise, and as Qi Chen scanned Feng Yuan’s bowl, he instantly knew that guy must be aware of which dumplings were problematic. But, given that he could barely distinguish them, it was no surprise that Feng Yuan could, too.

Xiao Ji seemed puzzled by Feng Yuan’s words, and in Big Cat’s dull gaze, a glint of sharpness flickered. Big Cat clumsily skimmed only the less attractive looking dumplings. Feng Yuan grabbed the spoon and said,

"Come on, at least try those magical dumplings~"

Seeing Feng Yuan scoop the beautifully shaped dumplings into his bowl, Big Cat trembled and backed away. Just as Big Cat was about to give up on eating dumplings, Feng Yuan handed over the bowl saying,

"There, I believe you can finish these."

"Mew..."

"Pretending to be pitiful won’t work; I only scooped you half."

Najia chuckled and floated to the table to scoop her own dumplings. Seeing that Najia took quite a few problematic ones, Feng Yuan scooped some normal dumplings for her and said,

"Don’t only go for those oddly flavored ones; eat some normal ones to fill your stomach."

Big Cat looked at Feng Yuan with a mournful gaze. By that time, the Dreaming Dragon Baby had eagerly dipped the dumpling into the Spirit Beast-flavored sauce and gobbled it down, only to stick out its tongue and make a pitiful face a moment later.

Glancing at the Dreaming Dragon Baby trying to rummage through its own bowl of dumplings, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"You’ve only scooped up the ones that were wrapped last. If you don’t want to eat that many, give some to Xiao Ji and then try to fish out the ones that look a bit uglier."

"So the ones that are ugly are the normal dumplings?"

Qi Xiaoshuang asked incredulously, and Feng Yuan spread his hands and said,

"That’s not necessarily the case. The particularly ugly ones could be dangerous too, after all, don’t you think there are too few of the exquisite ones?"

Thinking of something, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan silently and said,

"No wonder you deliberately made the last ones look so nice and even specifically taught us how to wrap them."

"Otherwise, what if someone with really bad luck got a whole bowl of those, what then?"

Feng Yuan, while speaking, saw the Dreaming Dragon Baby forcing itself to eat the dumplings with a bitter face. He sighed, walked over, snatched the bowl away, and after giving some dumplings to Xiao Ji, he helped the Dreaming Dragon Baby scoop out quite a few normal ones.

"Dumplings with chocolate flavor?"

"Spicy sauce filling..."

"Durian?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly, knowing full well that such things weren’t in his house. The only possibility was that Feng Yuan had sneakily added them.

"Stinky fish? Even canned? Where on earth did that weird filling come from... I don’t remember having that at home."

Stickin out her tongue, Qi Xiaoshuang said with a bitter face. After tasting a dumpling, Feng Yuan pretended to be calm and asked,

"What’s with the fire-spicy sauce?"

"I found it in the fridge～"

Looking at Kang Ping, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Didn’t you know that ordinary people, especially those with low strength, can’t handle that stuff?"

Kang Ping scratched his head, confused,

"Then why is that in the fridge?"

"It’s for seasoning the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s food. That stuff is full of energy, and although you can add anything, you shouldn’t use such special ingredients."

"Really?"

Kang Ping scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, while Qi Chen heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a close call. If those bizarre dumplings had been eaten by his mother, it would have been trouble. As for Feng Yuan eating dumplings with flame-spicy sauce filling? That guy is pretty much a human-formed Spirit Beast; a little bit of spicy sauce wouldn’t affect him at all.

While everyone continued to eat and share what fillings they had come across, Qi Chen finally looked at Feng Yuan and said speechlessly,

"Where did you get so many strange fillings from..."

"Bought them at the supermarket～"

"The supermarket was still open at that hour?"

Due to the New Year’s celebration, except for some essential services like hospitals and police stations that truly couldn’t close, other shops had chosen to shut down early, including 24-hour convenience stores. Feng Yuan arrived after the stores had closed for the night, and since he hadn’t given prior notice, it was not possible for him to have shopped in advance.

Waving the Dark Ancient Book in his hand, Feng Yuan said with a smile,

"Self-service shopping, self-service payment〜 Faster than online shopping〜"

The spectral image of Agunas looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly. As the embodiment of supreme authority, the Dark Ancient Book indeed had the capability to allow what Feng Yuan called self-service shopping. Money and such would automatically appear in the cash register systems of the supermarkets, and despite the time being somewhat mysterious, there would be no issues, as if the person had carried out the transaction in person.

Glancing at the Dark Ancient Book in Feng Yuan’s hand, Qi Chen said with some resignation,

"You, that thing wasn’t meant for you to use for this sort of thing, right?"

Although Qi Chen didn’t understand what the Dark Ancient Book was, seeing Feng Yuan occasionally lending it to Agunas was enough for him to guess it wasn’t some simple item.
