Chapter 529: Chapter 530 The Original Cat Returns_1

"There are plenty of fish, but it’s a pity there are no Spirit Beasts~"

Feng Yuan swept across the stream with his Divine Sense, quickly understanding what was in the water. With a wave of his staff, vines from the shore shot into the water, and the next moment, those vines retracted with fish and wove themselves into a fish basket. The silent phantom of Agunas said,

"You really know how to use it..."

"After all, this power isn’t for killing people, so isn’t it perfect for catching fish?"

As Feng Yuan manipulated the vines to stuff the fish into the basket, he said. After a while, having filled the basket, Feng Yuan dragged it to where Xiao Ji was and said,

"Hold on to this fish basket later, and be careful not to drop any fish from it. Otherwise, it’d be such a hassle to come back for more."

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion, chirping a few times.

"It’s asking why you don’t carry it yourself? It can’t guarantee that the fish won’t fall out."

"If you hold on tight, it should be fine. As for holding it in your hands?"

Feng Yuan lifted the fish basket to Xiao Ji, pointing to the bottom and said,

"Are you planning to take another bath today?"

Seeing the water droplets seeping from beneath the basket, Xiao Ji quickly shook its head, looking alarmed, and flapped its wings to take several steps back. Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji speechlessly and said,

"Alright, let’s go. You’re not expecting me to walk all the way back, are you?"

Xiao Ji reluctantly walked over to Feng Yuan, rubbed its head against him, placed the basket on the ground, and Feng Yuan climbed onto Xiao Ji’s back. After some consideration, Xiao Ji carefully grabbed the basket’s handle with one claw, while the other claw pierced directly into the basket. Flapping its wings, Xiao Ji flew for a bit, then, finding no issues, immediately picked up speed.

"Thanks for the hard work~"

Back at the camp, seeing the group of Da Yuan Cats crouched nervously at the entrance, observing their surroundings, Feng Yuan patted Xiao Ji and, with a smile, said. Xiao Ji nodded, transformed back to its original form, and happily hopped back to the dining table to eat. Holding the basket of fish, Feng Yuan said to the Da Yuan Cats,

"Sorry for the wait, I’ll go prepare your meal now."

Seeing Feng Yuan forsake his own meal to get busy, Yao Yin said with some confusion,

"Is it necessary? They’re just a few cats, after all."

Guo Huai sighed and said,

"I don’t know, although Da Yuan Cats are indeed a rare sight, they..."

"Maybe for him, eating isn’t a necessity."

Hua Yiyou said with a smile, while Mo Ling, holding a cup of hot tea and exhaling softly, said,

"If it was anyone else, I definitely wouldn’t believe it, but him... anything is possible, such a mysterious fellow."

Yao Yin looked at Mo Ling’s tea cup and smiled, saying,

"You forgot to add Bell Orchid Flower."

Holding the tea cup, Mo Ling shook her head at Yao Yin and said with a smile,

"I didn’t forget, I just didn’t want to add it."

"Why?"

"Adding Bell Orchid Flower is just for the fragrance, and although it smells good, I’ve grown to dislike it..."

Mo Li looked at Mo Ling with some sadness. Smiling slightly at Mo Li, Mo Ling sipped her tea and said,

"Ultimately, we have to face reality... You’re the same, aren’t you..."

With a flick of his fan, Hua Yiyou laughed and said,

"Let’s not bring up such disheartening topics while we’re out to relax, shall we?"

"Sorry."

"That guy has so many nice things."

Guo Huai, seeing Feng Yuan take out Thunder Milk again for cooking, couldn’t help but comment. You should know that even in modern times, Thunder Milk was an absolute luxury. The limited production of Thunder Milk meant that no matter how much money you had, it was pointless against purchasing restrictions.

Yet now, Feng Yuan was using Thunder Milk like it was tap water. Recalling his own efforts to gather materials for Pu Pu’s evolution, Guo Huai felt somewhat discontent.

"Ding~ With such power at his disposal, you need not envy him. If you had his strength, you too could use Thunder Milk to your heart’s content."

(Thanks for the comfort, but can I really reach that point?)

It took a long while before the system’s echo came,

"Ding~ Perhaps you can."

(Maybe? So you’re not sure either?)

"Ding~ I just don’t know how strong he really is. Although I can help you a lot, I am always limited by the world’s maximum capacity. If he exceeds the world’s limits..."

(Can you stop with the dings? Although you’ve gotten less arrogant recently, the constant dinging is still annoying...)

"Ding~ I can’t. If you have any complaints, please take them up with Him."

(Can you contact Him for me?)

"Ding~ Nope, maybe you should consider asking him for help?"

Guo Huai glanced at Feng Yuan, who was feeding the cats, and sighed helplessly.

(I’m afraid he might just offer to replace my system with another. I’ve gotten used to your presence, and suddenly changing systems... I can’t accept that.)

"Ding... Thank you."

The corner of Guo Huai’s mouth twitched slightly. He could naturally tell that the unusual ding just now was the system trying to forcefully suppress something, but this also proved that the ding sound was indeed not something the system could change itself.

"Phew~ All done~"

Having finished feeding the cats, Feng Yuan stopped paying attention to them and returned to the dining table to enjoy his own dinner. Thankfully, nowadays everyone’s meals were served on separate plates; otherwise, with Feng Yuan’s way of doing things, the others would have a hard time figuring out what and how much food to leave for him.

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"You’re not really planning on keeping the Da Yuan Cats, are you?"

"No, and I’m also curious about what they’re really up to. If it were just one Da Yuan Cat, that’s one thing, but a whole family... an entire group of such silly Da Yuan Cats would have gone extinct long ago..."

Feng Yuan looked at the Da Yuan Cats with a puzzled gaze. He didn’t quite understand what the commotion was all about with the Da Yuan Cats. After finishing their meal, the little Da Yuan Cats meowed a few times at the big Da Yuan Cat and quickly disappeared into the night. The big Da Yuan Cat walked over elegantly to where everyone was and curiously sized up the group.

Knowing that these Da Yuan Cats are very afraid of people, Mo Li and the others did not attempt to approach them. They just sat there curiously watching for a while before turning their attention away from the Da Yuan Cat to chat among themselves.

"Done eating~"

"Eh? Where did the Da Yuan Cat go?"

Stretching lazily, Feng Yuan looked around with some confusion. The shadowy figure of Agunas flicked its tail irritably and said,

"Of course, it left. You don’t think it was going to stay the night, do you?"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said with a beaming smile,

"Who knows? It seemed odd to me. What if it really decided to stay overnight~"

"You’re overthinking it."

As the Agunas shadow turned to look at the doorway, it had been keeping an eye on the odd behavior of the Da Yuan Cat. Until just now, when the Da Yuan Cat left the room, there was a slight noise at the window. Seeing the little Da Yuan Cats, which should have left, suddenly appear beside the big Da Yuan Cat and follow it into the night, Agunas had a hunch. Glancing at Feng Yuan, who was clueless about the situation, the Agunas shadow flicked its tail and said in a low voice,

"You’re really lucky..."

"What’s happening..."

After realizing that the Da Yuan Cats were showing up punctually every evening, especially since this had been going on for several days, Feng Yuan began to feel a headache. He truly did not dare to take those Da Yuan Cats back to Yongning, but the group of freeloading Da Yuan Cats was getting bigger and bigger. Looking at the large cluster of Da Yuan Cats today, Feng Yuan had no idea how to deal with them.

Yao Yin glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Why not just stop feeding them? Will they still come if there’s no food?"

"But that’s too..."

Feng Yuan did not mind improving the Da Yuan Cats’ diet, as it was not much trouble for him, but seeing them all coming with their families, he was conflicted. Particularly in the past two days, the Da Yuan Cats had essentially accepted Mo Li and the others. Mo Li crouched down and stretched out a hand to scratch the chin of the largest Da Yuan Cat and said,

"If it really comes down to it, you might have to keep them. Just make sure to take them away from the battlefield ahead of time, and it shouldn’t be too big of a problem."

"But this is still a potential risk..."

Mo Li, looking seriously at Feng Yuan, said,

"Since they have accepted us, that’s the way it has to be. If you don’t want this, you shouldn’t have fed them in the first place."

"This..."

At that moment, the Da Yuan Cats had finished their food and were rolling around playing in the room. Mo Ling came over, picked up a little Da Yuan Cat, and said,

"They’re already dependent on you, so you might as well take them with you. We’ve traveled so far these past few days, we must have already left their habitat behind, right?"

Feng Yuan nodded and said helplessly,

"Yes, the Da Yuan Cats have a limited range and we left their habitat behind a few days ago."

At that moment, the big Da Yuan Cat looked smugly at Feng Yuan as if it wanted to say something.
