Chapter 464: Chapter 464 Accidental Encounter_1

"Can’t you handle it for him? Aren’t you two close?"

Qi Chen said with a bitter smile,

"Even if we are close, it’s against the rules. Only relatives can do it on behalf, especially when it involves requesting a leave of absence. It’s only because of your special identity that you might be able to help."

"Okay, if he hasn’t come back by the start of the term, contact me with this."

Agunas’s virtual shadow waved his paw, and a scale shimmering with silver light drifted into Qi Chen’s hand. After seeing Qi Chen secure the scale, Agunas’s virtual shadow said,

"Pour your strength into the scale, and I’ll come as quickly as possible. I believe you wouldn’t contact me for anything else."

"All set—so, continue playing cards?"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Dou Yanlan glanced at the wall clock, picked up Cotton, and said,

"No, it’s getting late. I should go."

"I’ll walk you out. Xiao Shuang, you stay here with Feng Yuan. Don’t wander off."

"Tsk tsk, really..."

Feng Yuan watched the two leave and snickered, while Qi Xiaoshuang glanced at him and said,

"Why don’t you get a girlfriend?"

"Is this the legendary push for marriage?"

"Push for marriage my foot! You’re just envious of my brother and Sister Yanlan, why don’t you go find a girlfriend!"

"I don’t want to."

"Then why do you always look so envious?"

Qi Xiaoshuang glared at Feng Yuan disapprovingly and said, leaning against the couch, Feng Yuan scoffed,

"Who’s envious?"

"Play cards?"

"How are we going to play with just two people..."

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and pointed towards Big Cat. Feng Yuan laughed and said,

"Isn’t Big Cat here?"

"Forget it, I’m going back to rest. Big Cat... You think I’ve never seen a big cat cheat with telekinesis?"

Seeing Qi Xiaoshuang head back to her room, Feng Yuan simply started to tidy up the couch to get some sleep, unaware the Little Green Snake, which was playing with Xiao Ji, had kept its gaze fixed on him.

"Back so late?"

Curled in the blanket, Feng Yuan spoke to Qi Chen, who was changing shoes. Qi Chen looked at him somewhat helplessly and said,

"Things haven’t been very peaceful lately, I accompanied her home before coming back."

"Right, my mom isn’t coming home tonight; if you’re tired, you should get some rest early."

"Alright."

Suddenly, it seemed Qi Chen noticed something, and said with a hint of confusion,

"Where’s Big Cat?"

"It seems there was a problem with its game, it went to check on the situation."

As he spoke, Pomiti peeked its head curiously from under the blanket at Qi Chen. Seeing Xiao Ji and the Little Green Snake playing, Qi Chen smiled and said,

"It seems to get along quite well with Xiao Ji."

"Yeah, Xiao Ji even turned up its nose when I asked it to warm up the bed."

Qi Chen gave Feng Yuan an exasperated look and said,

"I’m heading back to my room."

"I’m going to take Xiao Ji and the others out for a walk—do you want to join?"

Qi Xiaoshuang glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"No thanks, I’ve already made plans with someone else, I’ll be heading out in a bit."

"Tsk, a date, huh? Trust me, your brother will hear about this."

"Buzz off!"

Hopping onto a random bus, Feng Yuan looked at the route map and mused,

"Where should I go..."

Agunas’s virtual shadow, exasperatedly swishing its tail, looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Didn’t you plan ahead at all?"

"The big library?"

"How enticing can the big library be to you..."

"Otherwise, I can’t think of where to go. A theme park alone? That just seems so sad..."

"Going to the big library alone isn’t necessarily any better..."

"Tsk, I can pretend to be a scholarly student at least."

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas’s virtual shadow said calmly,

"The status of an ordinary researcher pales in comparison to a Beastmaster, let alone your current position."

"Are you suggesting I join the special duty squad? But I don’t want to get caught up in work during a nice vacation~"

"With the way you are now, they wouldn’t dare let you help out unless they’re not afraid of becoming a new hot topic on the news."

Agunas’ shadowy figure wordlessly glanced at Feng Yuan, who, in childlike form and leaning against the back of a chair, said somewhat boredly,

"They’d have to be brave enough to report on it first~"

"On patrol~"

"Is this... Is that Little Green Snake your new Spirit Beast?"

Liao Yu walked over, took a look at Feng Yuan, scanned the surroundings, and asked. Nodding, Feng Yuan said,

"A new playmate for Xiao Ji. Why is it just the two of you patrolling?"

Feng Yuan glanced behind Huo Feng and didn’t see Ye Hanlei. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Liao Yu said helplessly,

"She’s busy sorting archive files. Have you spotted any suspicious characters?"

"No, what’s up?"

"It’s all because of the trouble stirred up by G Organization. They can’t just leave people be during the New Year, had to cause such a commotion in Shenhua City. It ruined my date... vacation! My vacation is ruined!"

Feng Yuan said with a dissatisfied curl of his lip.

"Haven’t you heard? Showing off love jinxes it."

"I did not! Besides, Han Lei still hasn’t accepted me..."

"Wait! Why am I even discussing this with you!"

Liao Yu looked at Feng Yuan warily while Huo Feng scanned the surroundings and said,

"Are you sure there are no suspicious people around?"

"Not sure. I’m not on duty, so how could I possibly pay special attention to the surroundings."

Feng Yuan said irritably. Right then, Liao Yu seemed to notice something and asked with a hint of confusion,

"Where’s that gluttonous Dreaming Dragon Baby? Why don’t I see it around?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji and noticed it was playing with the Little Green Snake in the flowerbed, oblivious to their conversation. He laughed and said,

"Sent it home."

"Home?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

Liao Yu looked at Feng Yuan, puzzled, and said,

"If I remember correctly, its registration information says it was hatched by the tower guards of Li Long Park. Did you send it back there?"

"No, Sleepy Dragon Valley is its home."

"How could that be? If I remember correctly, isn’t Sleepy Dragon Valley in Shenhua City?"

Liao Yu looked at Feng Yuan in astonishment, while Huo Feng seemed to realize something and said,

"The Dreaming Dragon Baby is not a Flood Dragon Baby."

"Wait a minute! Could it be, that it..."

"If that’s the case, does its appearance here mean..."

Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Who knows what’s going on with Sleepy Dragon Valley? Everyone has their share of problems; it’s just Sleepy Dragon Valley, after all. If it weren’t for its ties with Gitalien, who would bother to find out what really happened there?"

"Gitalien? I thought it was Yimu Qingling?"

Seeing Feng Yuan looking at him amusedly, Liao Yu scratched his head and said,

"Aren’t they both from the dragon species?"

Huo Feng glanced at Liao Yu and said helplessly,

"There’s no connection between Sleepy Dragon Valley and Yimu Qingling. Yimu Qingling has its own Qingling clan, while the Dragon King of Sleepy Dragon Valley is mostly a Sacred Beast Level Red Divine Dragon from the fire dragon series."

"Even though they look alike, the Qingling clan and the various Divine Dragons of Sleepy Dragon Valley virtually have no interaction. Only Gitalien had once..."

"If you don’t want to be blackmailed, you’d better avoid spreading any gossip about it publicly."

"Cough cough, I didn’t say anything, and you guys didn’t hear anything, right..."

Agunas’ shadowy figure glanced at Feng Yuan and flicked his tail without saying much. Seeing Feng Yuan’s expression, Liao Yu looked around nervously, relieved to find nothing amiss, and said,

"We’re going to move on. If you notice anything wrong, remember to contact us."

"And don’t take matters into your own hands!"

Liao Yu warned Feng Yuan with a hint of concern. Although Feng Yuan could surely handle most problems, his methods... in short, it was best not to have him act if they wanted to avoid complications.

"Speaking of which, I didn’t expect that Spirit Beast who occasionally came out with him to be a Divine Beast."

After saying goodbye to Feng Yuan, as the two resumed patrolling, Liao Yu suddenly felt reflective. Huo Feng glanced at Liao Yu and said,

"Could it be you regret not winning its favor?"

"Just wishful thinking. I saw how they cared for each other. What’s baffling is, if they’ve known each other for so long and have a good relationship, why did they only sign the Divine Beast pact now?"

Liao Yu was puzzled. Although they couldn’t see most of Yang Hong’s Divine Pact Maker registration information on the internal network, just from seeing the photos of Yang Hong and Najia, he recognized the latter. It struck him as odd, after all, Najia could be considered a breakthrough in establishing Divine Beast pacts with adults.
