Chapter 465: Chapter 465 Idle Talk_1

The breakthrough in conventional Divine Beast contracts left those in the know with some inexplicable thoughts; after all, Divine Beasts used to sign contracts only with children, and now knowing that adults could also become Divine Pact Makers, who wouldn’t harbor a little hope?

Huo Feng, somewhat puzzled, said,

"What’s the difference? Maybe it’s just assessing the other party."

"Assessing? But aren’t you excited? This proves that we have a chance to become Divine Pact Makers too—"

"Why?"

"Think about it, Divine Beasts always chose children, but now suddenly one has chosen an adult. Doesn’t that give us a chance—"

Huo Feng scanned their surroundings and said calmly,

"I don’t think so. Those that choose children have such standards, but there have always been those not restricted by age."

As Huo Feng spoke, a wry smile appeared on his determined face,

"If I remember correctly, your Drudgeon here doesn’t limit by age."

"Really?!"

"But its requirements are quite high; it demands extensive knowledge in various fields. I’ve heard even the experts from the Great Xia Research Institute can’t pass its assessment."

Liao Yu, spirited moments before, felt as though doused with cold water and suspiciously asked,

"Really? Even those experts can’t pass? Could the questions be too esoteric?"

"Not really. It’s said the knowledge involved is too profound, considering it’s a Divine Beast that oversees lost knowledge. The experts might easily pass in their own fields, but when it comes to a comprehensive test..."

"There go my hopes..."

Liao Yu said dejectedly. He didn’t doubt what Huo Feng was saying; it wasn’t necessary, for his identity likely gave him access to such sensitive information.

"You’re not planning to go to Cotton Orchid Manor tonight, are you?"

The spectral image of Agunas floated next to Feng Yuan and asked, sipping milk tea while looking out the window. Feng Yuan replied calmly,

"No, it’s the holiday; I shouldn’t disturb them."

"But why do you ask?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, the spectral image of Agunas said with exasperation,

"The places you like are only a few. Where else could you go besides there?"

"Cuiyun Horticulture Field. The peach blossoms there have bloomed, just the right time to have a look—"

"Look at peach blossoms?"

The spectral image of Agunas eyed Feng Yuan skeptically when he waved his hand and said,

"Right here—"

"Hey, what’s this you’ve done? It’s quite delicate and cute."

"Got a problem with it?"

Feng Yuan said, gazing at Yao Yin with some dissatisfaction. Sitting on a stool, Yao Yin replied,

"No, just find it interesting."

"But you, aren’t you too fond of libraries?"

Feng Yuan sipped his milk tea, puzzled.

"Not really. Why would you think that?"

"Then why arrange to meet at the library?"

"It’s convenient. Most public transport can reach the large library and the square, and I didn’t know where you were before."

"Fine, I’ll reluctantly accept your clever excuse."

"And the little glutton?"

Yao Yin looked toward Xiao Ji, asking with a hint of confusion. Feng Yuan, glancing at her with annoyance, said,

"Sent it home. It can’t always follow me around."

"I see..."

"Do you miss it?"

Yao Yin peered curiously at Feng Yuan. He looked at Xiao Ji and said calmly,

"A bit, but I’m used to it now."

"Used to it, huh..."

Remembering something, Yao Yin sighed and spoke with a touch of sadness,

"Do you think he’s forgotten me?"

"I don’t know."

"He hasn’t come to pick me up for so long... Is he like those humanoid cannons..."

Feng Yuan listened patiently to Yao Yin babbling on and, after a while, said with resignation,

"Don’t you know what kind of person he is? If you can’t see clearly, isn’t this a good opportunity to see his true nature?"

"That’s easy to say... but still..."

Yao Yin couldn’t define her feeling—sad? heartbroken? worried? Various emotions were welling up inside her. At that moment, she missed Mo Ling, although many things couldn’t be discussed, but at least she could talk about this matter and seek comfort.

Annoyed, Yao Yin glared at Feng Yuan, shaking the bracelet in her hand, and set her gaze on him,

"What exactly do you want with me?"

"Don’t say you’re taking me out for fun... I’ve already lost all expectations for your idea of entertainment..."

Putting down the milk tea in his hand, Feng Yuan looked at Yao Yin and said,

"I’m getting ready to return to Great Li, so..."

"Leaving? That’s fine. I’m also a bit tired of staying here; after all, it’s nicer to be in Great Li, which is more similar to us~"

Yao Yin smiled and said, and Feng Yuan glanced at her and said,

"As long as you don’t oppose it, that’s fine. We’ll probably leave in a few days, just get ready."

Yao Yin, propping her head with one hand on the table, looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"What can I do even if I do oppose?"

Feng Yuan gave Yao Yin an irritable glance and said,

"Don’t put on a weak woman’s act in front of me, I’m well aware of your strength."

"Do you need help?"

Staring at Yao Yin, Feng Yuan said with suspicion,

"You’re actually offering to help?"

"I have no choice, I’m too bored. Although all those things are interesting, they eventually become tiresome."

"That doesn’t sound like how people from the High-tier World usually view the lower worlds."

Yao Yin smiled and said,

"If I could beat you, it naturally wouldn’t be like this."

"How realistic..."

"Actually, the lower worlds aren’t so bad... Although there’s no eternal life, there’s peace that the high-tier worlds lack..."

Yao Yin said wistfully, her palm cradling a fluffy snowball, and Feng Yuan glanced at her and said,

"Are you ignoring the world wars? They’re still going on..."

Staring at the fluffy snowball nibbling diligently on a little fruit, Yao Yin said calmly,

"You know what I mean. Who doesn’t have world wars... but here, aside from the world wars..."

"Where there’s light, there will be shadows. You just haven’t seen them. Perhaps they’re not as intense as in the Xingluo Realm, but the shadows are always there."

"G Organization? Divine Beast Hall? Or those weird illegal research organizations?"

Yao Yin said with a smile, and Feng Yuan reached out and tapped the head of curious Xiao Ji looking up at him and said,

"You’ve learned about so much?"

"I had no choice, there’s nothing else to do."

"Where are you going later?"

Yao Yin raised her head to ask Feng Yuan, who thought for a moment and said,

"I’ll probably just wander around here first."

Looking at the rows of books outside the window, Yao Yin felt inexplicably headachy, stared at Feng Yuan for a while, and said,

"Then forget it, I’m leaving first."

"Won’t you join me for a walk?"

Looking at the smile on Feng Yuan’s face, Yao Yin said irritably,

"You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"

"Yep~"

"Really... a wicked sense of humor..."

Yao Yin said with some resignation as she turned and quickly left. Glancing at Little Green Snake, Feng Yuan said with a mischievous smile,

"Shall we go look up a recipe?"

Xiao Ji lifted its head and looked at Feng Yuan curiously, as it had never seen Feng Yuan need to look up a recipe before. Twirling the milk tea cup in his hand, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"I’m not very clear on how to make snake soup; I should check that later... Ahh!!!"

"Ow... why did you peck me..."

Holding back his hand, Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji with a wronged expression. Xiao Ji turned around, back facing Feng Yuan, tail wagging as it seemed to be telling something to Little Green Snake. The spectral form of Agunas said, without enthusiasm, to Feng Yuan,

"That joke isn’t very funny."

"It didn’t mind~"

Little Green Snake, with a full head of black lines, glanced at Feng Yuan and hissed something to Xiao Ji. The spectral form of Agunas said with some surprise,

"It seems not to care what you’re saying?"

"After all, it’s lived in the wild..."

"It doesn’t matter how good the talk is, actions are what really matter."

Little Green Snake appeared to have heard Feng Yuan’s words, nodded, and it wasn’t clear if it was agreeing with Feng Yuan or with Xiao Ji.

"Are you getting ready to leave?"

Qi Chen saw Feng Yuan packing his luggage and asked. Nodding his head, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Yeah~ I wonder if I can make it back before the start of school~"

"That’s not very likely, is it? School starts in just over ten days. Just be careful not to miss the high-stakes testing."

"Don’t worry ~ I won’t be gone for a whole term~"
