Chapter 496: Chapter 497 The Purpose of Travel_1

"Ding~ Of course, I can’t produce any physical rewards; these rewards are issued by Him, rest assured~"

(But where am I supposed to find him spirit beasts? And they have to be of different types, too.)

"Ding~ Task auxiliary items have been issued, please check the receipt."

(Can’t you just grant them directly...)

As Guo Huai glanced at the special category information newly added to the system database, he was somewhat helpless and stunned as he checked.

"This... what the heck is all this..."

Feng Yuan looked at Guo Huai quizzically and asked,

"What’s wrong?"

"That... the system has issued me a task, which is to help Mo Li find different types of spirit beasts."

"Isn’t that a good thing? We were going to do that anyway, right?"

"But... "

Seeing Guo Huai’s face turning red, Feng Yuan curiously asked,

"What’s the matter, after all?"

"Beast Attracting Incense, Red Phoenix Incense, Spirit Soothing Incense..."

"Hey! What are you up to? Don’t tell me you’re harboring inappropriate thoughts about those spirit beasts!"

With a look of horror, Feng Yuan stared at Guo Huai, who blushed with some anger and retorted,

"It’s not me!"

"If you don’t intend to do anything, how do you know the names of these bizarre items? Ordinary people can’t even come in contact with those things."

"It’s the potions given by the system!"

Looking at Guo Huai with disdain, Feng Yuan said,

"Tsk, blaming it on the system, is your system that frivolous?"

"It’s really not me!"

Seeing Yao Yin also looking at him with a strange gaze, Guo Huai roared with aggrieved anger, while the phantasmal silhouette of Agunas flicked its tail in confusion and said,

"His social connections and status indeed wouldn’t involve him with such things, it’s just..."

The phantasmal silhouette of Agunas stared weirdly at Guo Huai, who, feeling uncomfortable under the gaze, shifted his position and said,

"Why is everyone doubting me! It’s not at all like what you think!"

"You can know a person’s face, but not their heart; how can I be sure you’re not secretly thinking about woo!!!"

Guo Huai quickly covered Feng Yuan’s mouth to stop him from continuing, and noticing Xiao Ji and the Little Green Snake, who had somehow slinked back and were looking at him perplexedly, Guo Huai pointed at them excitedly and said,

"Look at them, they believe I’m not that kind of person; now look at yourselves! Your thoughts are so filthy!"

Glancing at Guo Huai, Feng Yuan crossly folded his arms and said,

"Xiao Ji and the Little Green Snake are both males; you wouldn’t go so far as to..."

"Bastard!"

"But why would the system give him those formulas?"

After the tease, Agunas’s phantasmal silhouette was the first to bring up the serious matter, and with a slight smile, Feng Yuan said,

"Isn’t that a perfectly normal thing?"

While saying this, Feng Yuan, taking advantage of Xiao Ji’s distraction, grabbed him, and after struggling a little in Feng Yuan’s arms, Xiao Ji seemed to give up resistance. Feng Yuan, holding Xiao Ji, said to the Little Green Snake,

"You help Pomiti keep up; we’re off to bathe."

As they passed Guo Huai, Feng Yuan turned his head and said,

"Those things, although they seem indiscreet, what would you do when you need to study the mating of spirit beasts? Be careful not to misuse them, and remember to seek those spirit beasts’ opinions before using."

Watching Feng Yuan leaving with Xiao Ji in his arms, Guo Huai was filled with questions but didn’t know who to ask; Agunas’s phantasmal silhouette flicked its tail and said,

"So that’s the case, I have overlooked this matter."

"How so?"

Yao Yin looked curiously at Agunas’s ethereal shadow, after all, she had never heard of any animals that need a potion to aid with mating.

Closing his eyes in silence for a moment, Agunas’s ethereal shadow said,

"Under normal circumstances, there is indeed no need for potions, but if the population of Spirit Beasts is too small and they don’t really fancy each other..."

"Don’t tell me they can make potions themselves..."

"No, they will look for herbs with similar effects, after all, ensuring that their species does not go extinct is a belief ingrained deep in the bones of most Spirit Beasts..."

Hearing Agunas’s explanation, Guo Huai said softly,

"I see, no wonder he asked me to seek their opinion first."

"Is that necessary?"

Yao Yin was still somewhat puzzled, as she flicked her tail, Agunas’s ethereal shadow hung its head as if helplessly saying,

"For the dominant Spirit Beast clans, it’s not necessary since no one can hurt them, but for the weaker clans, it’s a different story..."

"With limited resources in nature, weaker clans of Spirit Beasts can only prevail in numbers, but once they encounter enemies that they can’t contend with, of course, that might also include natural disasters..."

Looking at the closed door, Agunas’s ethereal shadow spoke softly,

"Like the Little Green Snake; their evolutionary path does not include any particularly dominant members, which is why they haven’t formed a large settlement but are scattered around the world living on their own."

"And for Poison Mush, although they have the harsh condition of a symbiotic evolutionary item, as long as one evolves to a very high level, it can completely protect its own clan."

"You might not know that, in the earliest history, Poison Mush had already gone extinct, and Feng Yuan only saved one Poison Mush. It might have been fate, or perhaps Feng Yuan’s luck affected it, but in the end, it evolved into the Sacred Beast Level Tabimos."

"That is why the otherwise extinct clan of the Poison Mush has continued to exist until modern times."

Guo Huai said with some disbelief,

"All because he saved one Spirit Beast?!"

"Time is so unpredictable; perhaps he didn’t foresee such a situation when he did it."

"Your task should be to find those weaker Spirit Beast clans for Mo Li and the others, in exchange for the right to study them as a condition for providing them shelter."

Turning around, Agunas’s ethereal shadow, with its back to Guo Huai and Mo Li and its paws behind its back, flicked its tail and said,

"As for the stronger ones, it depends on what Feng Yuan decides, since he is in charge at this point in time."

"But, wouldn’t this have a significant impact on history?"

Guo Huai said, looking worried, turning around, Agunas’s ethereal shadow pointed a small claw, and a quaint book shadow appeared abruptly in front of Agunas and opened on its own. As the claw brushed over the pages, Agunas said somewhat helplessly,

"There’s no helping it, what’s the point of our arrival here if we do nothing?"

"Research pulled from thin air is always inferior to that which comes naturally..."

"Is it really okay to research those Spirit Beasts?"

Yao Yin said discontentedly, as she couldn’t calm herself when thinking about the potions being used for that purpose, Agunas’s ethereal shadow flicked its tail and said,

"They will not and cannot violate the will of the Spirit Beasts themselves; deception is impossible too, no matter how perfect the lie, there will be a day it’s exposed."

Remembering the power disparity between Spirit Beasts and ordinary people in this world, Yao Yin suddenly didn’t know how to argue anymore. Indeed, just as Agunas’s ethereal shadow said, no one can deceive Spirit Beasts for long. Spirit Beasts can sense even a sliver of emotion in the human heart, which is why Little Green Snake is so attached to Feng Yuan.

Although Feng Yuan didn’t pay special attention to Little Green Snake, it received all the care that a normal Spirit Beast should get. If Feng Yuan had shown special care and attention to Little Green Snake from the beginning, that would have been problematic, as they had not known each other for even a month, hence no deep relationship could exist.

And when Feng Yuan looked at Little Green Snake, there was no particular desire, which made Little Green Snake very fond of him. In the wild, Little Green Snake had encountered forsaken Spirit Beasts due to their weakness, albeit rare, but Little Green Snake did not wish to become one of them; that would be too hard to accept.

"Is it really impossible to go against it?"

Guo Huai asked doubtfully, Agunas’s ethereal shadow looked at Guo Huai speechlessly and said,

"Of course it’s not absolute, but even if someone did so, do you think Divine Beasts are easy to provoke?"

Yao Yin, toying with the fluffy creature on her shoulder, said with a laugh,

"Not necessarily. There will always be those who bite off more than they can chew, won’t there?"
