Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Sudden Change_1

"I know you want to argue, but think back: When did you start having Legendary Level battle abilities?"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji fell into deep thought as Feng Yuan laughed and said,

"It was after encountering the White Wolf Deity. Before that, your combat strength was nothing to boast about."

"As for your Incarnation of Power, that came after the Yognot incident. Although it may seem like a short time, can you guarantee that Little Green Snake will grasp the Incarnation of Power as quickly as you did?"

Feng Yuan had long noticed an anomaly with Xiao Ji, but then he thought about it and understood: the potions he had used to save Xiao Ji were no ordinary items.

Seeing Xiao Ji deep in thought, Feng Yuan picked up Xiao Ji and turned towards Agunas, asking,

"Do you have your answer now?"

Agunas nodded, shook his tail, and flung the book in his hand. The Space Gate opened again. Giving Feng Yuan a glance, Agunas said,

"I’m not trying to forbid you from doing anything; I’m just worried you don’t understand the consequences."

Feng Yuan smiled and replied,

"How could I not understand? Sometimes good intentions can lead to dire consequences, and things are not as simple as they seem on the surface."

"Are you okay? Did the Little Crocodile harm you?"

Seeing Feng Yuan return, Qi Xiaoshuang hurriedly asked. Qi Chen, somewhat dissatisfied, said to Qi Xiaoshuang,

"Xiao Shuang!"

Agunas paid no attention to Qi Xiaoshuang, his figure becoming ghostly as he transformed back into a shadow. Little Green Snake glanced nervously at Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji, and upon noticing nothing amiss, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Big Cat meowed at Little Green Snake, apparently trying to console it.

Feng Yuan put Xiao Ji down next to Little Green Snake and said,

"Go play with it."

Scanning the area, Feng Yuan spotted Pomiti asleep under Big Cat’s wings and chuckled,

"Big Cat can take care of them now~"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said,

"Can’t you take proper care of them yourself?"

"I’m swamped~"

"A nanny-type Spirit Beast, huh... It might be worth a try."

Dou Yanlan stroked Cotton thoughtfully, suggesting the idea. Cotton turned its head to stare at Dou Yanlan with a look that said, ’Don’t you want me anymore?’ Dou Yanlan smiled and caressed Cotton, saying,

"I thought you’d like having a Spirit Beast like Big Cat or Najia to take care of you."

Cotton glanced at Big Cat with disdain and flicked its tail, unimpressed. Standing up, Qi Chen glanced at the clock and said,

"It’s time to prepare dinner. Yanlan... uh..."

"Is Auntie not home?"

Dou Yanlan asked, puzzled. Qi Chen scratched his head, embarrassed, and replied,

"She went to a party, so... uh..."

Dou Yanlan looked at Qi Chen with amusement and said,

"Alright then, let’s go prepare dinner."

"I’ll do it."

Feng Yuan stood up and offered, but Qi Xiaoshuang glanced at him and asked,

"Can you even reach the stove now?"

"It’s not a big deal."

Feng Yuan lightly patted Big Cat’s back and said,

"You’ll give me a boost later."

"Pfft! You still need Big Cat to help you reach the platform."

Qi Xiaoshuang said disdainfully. Feng Yuan looked at her and asked,

"Aren’t you coming to learn how to cook?"

"Why do I need to learn to cook?"

"Look at your brother. Don’t you get it?"

"Tsk! Seems like that’s true. You men really are unreliable."

Qi Chen glanced at Qi Xiaoshuang speechlessly and said,

"What are you talking about..."

Dou Yanlan smiled slightly and added,

"Your brother is quite dependable..."

"I don’t see it. Yanlan Sister, let me tell you..."

As Qi Xiaoshuang began recounting Qi Chen’s embarrassing past to Dou Yanlan, Qi Chen watched helplessly. Noticing Feng Yuan pulling out something that looked like a notebook and jotting down notes, Qi Chen said irritably,

"What are you doing!"

"Taking notes~ There’s a test~"

"Get lost!"

Qi Chen hit Feng Yuan with a bit more force, and to his surprise, Feng Yuan quickly moved back as though being blown away, prompting Qi Chen to say, holding his forehead in resignation,

"Not making dinner?"

"Of course I am — but I’ve also got to keep up with my notes —"

"Jerk!"

Seeing Qi Chen rushing over, Feng Yuan quickly tucked away his notebook and agilely dodged into the kitchen, evading Qi Chen’s reach. Dou Yanlan saw the two frolicking and cracked a slight smile before saying,

"Let’s go, it’s time to cook."

"Hey! Why doesn’t anyone eat the fried balls I make!"

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Xiaoshuang and said with annoyance,

"You think I didn’t see what you sneakily added into the fried balls?"

"Nonsense! I didn’t put anything weird in them!"

Qi Xiaoshuang said defensively, but Qi Chen glanced at her and said,

"The kitchen isn’t that big, we all saw you adding the Multi-Flavor Fruit."

"I was just trying out a new flavor, is that not allowed!"

"Ah! So sour..."

Seeing Qi Xiaoshuang just bite into a fried ball and scrunch up her face as if her teeth were about to dissolve from the sourness, Feng Yuan pursed his lips and quietly avoided the fried balls with his chopsticks. Xiao Ji’s eyes lit up, and while Feng Yuan wasn’t looking, sneaked up and pecked at a fried ball.

Seeing Xiao Ji making a sour face, Feng Yuan said with exasperation,

"You little guy, Multi-Flavor Fruit is pretty similar to Spirit Beast seasoning — every single one tastes different, not to mention it’s human food. Even if it’s sour, you wouldn’t like it without Spirit Beast seasoning."

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with a pitiful expression, and as Feng Yuan petted Xiao Ji’s head, he chuckled and said,

"Why don’t you just eat your own food?"

Little Green Snake seemed to think Xiao Ji wasn’t satisfied with its own food, hesitated for a moment and then pushed its food toward Xiao Ji with its tail. Spotting this, Xiao Ji hurriedly made some noise at Little Green Snake, and Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji and said to Little Green Snake,

"Ignore it, it’s just being picky. Do you think I don’t know how much it can eat?"

Xiao Ji glared at Feng Yuan, turned away and gave him the cold shoulder as if to show he was really angry. Feng Yuan knew Xiao Ji would calm down on his own soon, so he simply ignored him and continued to eat peacefully.

"What’s wrong?"

After dinner, while everyone was playing cards, Qi Chen noticed Feng Yuan frowning slightly and asked with some concern. After thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan said,

"There’s a bit of trouble in Great Li."

"Haven’t the issues over there been resolved yet?"

Dou Yanlan asked with some confusion, and looking at Pomiti who was by the side watching TV with Big Cat, Feng Yuan said with a wry smile,

"That’s not so easily done; there’s just too much that needs fixing."

"You leaving soon?"

After a glance at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan replied with a smile,

"Not that quickly, I can still stay for a few more days, and I’ve got to inform Guo Huai."

"He’s going with you?"

Qi Chen asked, a bit surprised. Feng Yuan gave him a sly grin and said,

"He’s a hell of a lot tougher than you are, you know —"

"Actually, you guys could come with me... Now that I have a page of the Golden Book, I’m confident I can keep you safe from harm."

"Forget it, too many people going could bring unpredictable dangers for the future. Besides, I don’t think we would be of much help to you."

Feng Yuan sighed with some resignation and said,

"Alright..."

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan with concern and said,

"If I remember correctly, starting with the fall of Yongning City, all of Great Li gradually sank into a brutal internal struggle..."

"That’s about right,"

Feng Yuan nodded and replied. Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan with curiosity and asked,

"Can I come with you?"

"Did you finish your homework? Plus, we don’t even know how long he’ll be gone. Are you planning not to go to school?!"

Qi Chen said irritably to Qi Xiaoshuang, and Dou Yanlan looked at Qi Xiaoshuang with a slight smile and said,

"That won’t be any fun. If you really want to watch like it’s a movie... I’ve heard from Ah Chen about what happened at Meow Meow Paradise, I bet you understand."

Hearing Dou Yanlan’s words, Qi Xiaoshuang’s excitement faded, and she pouted dissatisfiedly,

"Fine, fine, I won’t go, happy now?"

Feng Yuan took out his phone and said,

"Shall I go make a call then?"

"You better hurry up; Guo Huai might be going to bed if it gets any later."

Qi Chen said, glancing at the clock. The Incarnation of Power, Agunas, saw Feng Yuan walking out of the living room and swished its tail saying,

"Should we help him ask for leave?"

Qi Chen thought for a moment and said,

"Can you leave a contact detail? If he doesn’t make it back by the start of term, you’ll probably have to handle the registration and asking for leave."
