Chapter 421: Chapter 421 Little Train_1

"It’s a pity it’s not a seafood buffet..."

The travel group had prepared a buffet dinner that evening, and Feng Yuan looked at the food and felt somewhat unhappy. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"After all, it’s just a ten-day tour of Calien. If it were a month-long trip, the boat would stop halfway to catch fresh seafood, and that’s when there would be a seafood buffet."

"So disappointing..."

Seeing Feng Yuan secretly pulling out the Dark Ancient Book, the shadow of Agunas cleared its throat and said,

"Aren’t you planning to do anything serious?"

"Not at all~"

"Then what are you thinking of doing now..."

The shadow of Agunas, wordlessly flicking its tail, watched as Feng Yuan guiltily hid the Dark Ancient Book back in his pocket and began taking food with a heh-heh laugh.

Holding his plate, Feng Yuan sat down where everyone was gathered. Dou Yanlan, seeing Qi Xiaoshuang still choosing food in the distance, stared at Feng Yuan for a long time before saying,

"Why did you bring him along?"

"What?"

"What does he have to do with this incident?"

Feigning confusion, Feng Yuan looked towards Dou Yanlan, while Yang Hongzhi, realizing he was the one being referred to, said with some bewilderment,

"What’s the matter?"

"Don’t you think it’s strange? We’ve won half of the ten available grand prizes."

Upon hearing Dou Yanlan’s words, Yang Hongzhi’s expression changed and he said,

"Could it be a trap?"

"No, but you’d probably have to ask him for the reason, although I’m not sure how he did it."

Seeing Dou Yanlan staring at him, Feng Yuan glanced at Najia, who was silently eating nearby, and thought for a moment before saying,

"Can I not tell?"

"Of course, I’m just curious, and I don’t intend to disrupt your plans."

Giving Feng Yuan a side-eye, the shadow of Agunas said with annoyance,

"What plan does he have? Indeed, now is not the best time to explain."

Yang Hongzhi fell silent for a moment before looking at Feng Yuan and asking,

"Then what’s the purpose of gathering us..."

"Taking you guys to see Calien~"

Najia ate anxiously, and Feng Yuan smiled and quickly changed the subject. The others, although curious, seeing that Feng Yuan was not intending to explain, eventually gave up on probing for the truth.

"Hehe~ I’m coming for you, little train puffing black smoke~"

As soon as they got off the boat, Feng Yuan looked around excitedly. Noticing this, Qi Chen said helplessly,

"What black-smoke-puffing train... Do you think that kind of thing is still in use?"

"Eh? Isn’t it a little train ride to Calien City next?"

"It is a little train, but it shouldn’t be puffing smoke..."

Qi Chen was somewhat exasperated with Feng Yuan’s antics.

Following the travel group to the quaint train station and feeling the onrush of an era gone by, Feng Yuan said with a tinge of regret,

"Such a well-preserved station, I wonder if it can still exist..."

Najia reached into a flower bed decorating the station, and a bud quickly grew and bloomed at the touch of her fingertips. Picking the flower, Najia pinned it to her head and slowly walked around the station. After a while, Feng Yuan came over and said softly,

"Let’s go, the train is about to leave."

Najia nodded and followed Feng Yuan onto the train. Perhaps it wasn’t pinned well, for the flower fell from Najia’s head, and the blossom that landed on the ground withered, losing its prior appearance.

"Calien is really going all out for tourism."

Looking out the window at the scenery, Feng Yuan exclaimed. Qi Xiaoshuang, with the camera Feng Yuan had prepared for everyone—unaffected by the passage of time—was taking pictures outside the window.

"Aren’t those the farms Calien’s city government must have hired people to set up?"

The harbor where everyone disembarked was not far from Calien City, so they took this tourist train to Calien City. The slowly traveling train also allowed the passengers to clearly see the farmlands on both sides of the railroad. Although the crops had already been harvested, there were still many Spirit Beasts busily working under the guidance of those wearing ethnic attire. Hearing Dou Yanlan’s words, Feng Yuan spoke up.

"It must be, after all, who still uses such an antiquated planting method in this era."

Najia sat by the window, sipping tea delicately, with a glance sweeping outside now and then. Qi Xiaoshuang, while taking pictures, said,

"Otherwise, there wouldn’t be anything interesting—how boring just a simple train ride would be. This experience, as if returning to the past, is truly fascinating~"

Looking at Qi Xiaoshuang with a smile, Feng Yuan said,

"How about I take you for a real tour of the ancient times when I’m free?"

Casting a glance at Feng Yuan, Qi Xiaoshuang said dismissively,

"Forget it, I like this kind of historical tourism, not some torturous ancient journey. You think I don’t know how inconvenient the ancient times were compared to the present?"

"Tsk, I thought you liked the ancient times."

"It’s the feeling I like~"

As she spoke, Qi Xiaoshuang twirled around, the hem of the Wolf God’s Robe fluttering and falling with her movement. A row of trees then blocked the view outside the window, and after a while, the trees receded, revealing a sea of flowers outside. Qi Xiaoshuang, too engrossed to continue talking to Feng Yuan, quickly grabbed the camera and started filming out the window. The tourists on the train crowded towards the window to watch the flower sea outside.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew, carrying the petals that danced in the sky, causing an exclamatory marvel from the passengers. Looking at the flower sea, Feng Yuan remarked sentimentally,

"It’s really beautiful..."

"It’s a pity this beautiful scene will eventually be forgotten..."

Speaking softly, Feng Yuan looked around at the tourists constantly snapping photos, sensing that all of Calien was covered by a force of distorted time. This meant that once he resolved the matter at hand, the entire Calien City would undergo tremendous changes, and this sea of flowers and everything along the way might no longer exist.

Najia gazed dreamily at the sea of flowers, stealthily wiping away a glistening tear when no one was watching.

"How strange, these flowers seem unprecedented."

After examining the petals that Ah Mu had rolled in through the window with vines, Qi Xiaoshuang said with some doubt, Dou Yanlan smiled and looked at the Cotton lying on the table peering out the window,

"These are flowers unique to Calien, never seen in other regions."

"Is that so? While it looks magnificent from afar, up close, they don’t seem so special~"

Qi Xiaoshuang examined the petal up close and said, Qi Chen sighed,

"What are you on about? Aren’t all flower petals more or less the same? How much difference can there be?"

"Who says so! I remember there’s a kind of flower whose petals are particularly beautiful, let me think... what’s its name..."

"Nahis’s Flower, right? If there’s a flower so beautiful it leaves a lasting impression, it must be that one."

"Yes! Nahis’s Flower! I remember those flowers being extraordinarily beautiful!"

Qi Chen glanced at Qi Xiaoshuang and said,

"Maybe they’ve been romanticized in books, they might not be that beautiful in reality."

"Who says so! I’ve seen the real thing!"

"How could you have seen the real Nahis’s Flower?"

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Xiaoshuang curiously, while Dou Yanlan said in puzzlement,

"Nahis’s Flowers only bloom where Kannen roams, and they wilt an hour after Kannen departs. I’ve never heard of Kannen leaving the Berost District."

"I’m not lying to you! I’ve really seen them!"

After thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan said,

"That’s not impossible; after all, no one has set a rule that Kannen must remain in the Berost District."

"But comparing ordinary flowers to Nahis’s Flower seems a bit much..."

Feng Yuan said, looking at Qi Xiaoshuang, who pouted and responded unsatisfied,

"I was just saying some petals are particularly beautiful. I didn’t say they had to be compared."

Just then, the train slowly entered a tunnel, the faux candlestick lights on either side of the carriage lighting up. Dou Yanlan looked at the brochure in hand and said,

"After passing through this tunnel, we’ll be arriving in Calien City."

"So soon?"

Feng Yuan rested his head on one hand, expressing his regret. Pomiti, perched on Feng Yuan’s head, nibbled on a small biscuit curiously watching all around as the passengers began to tidy their luggage, seemingly preparing to disembark.
