Chapter 530: Chapter 531: Take away the original cat?_1

"What’s wrong?"

Feng Yuan bent down with a puzzled look, observing the Da Yuan Cat, which was wearing an expression just like Xiao Ji’s when it got hold of some treasured item. The cat seemed curiously scrutinizing Feng Yuan as if assessing something, prompting Agunas’s phantom to speak up,

"It’s probably checking to see if you’re worth following."

"What?"

"If it approves, this whole bunch of cats will follow you."

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

"No way..."

"What, you seduce the cat and then just leave it behind? Scum!"

Teasingly playing with the Da Yuan Cat, Yao Yin scornfully said, and glancing at her, Feng Yuan serenely stated,

"If they follow me, that’s the bigger issue. Have you forgotten my current situation?"

After sizing up Feng Yuan for a while, Yao Yin said with a cold laugh,

"Huh, scum!"

"Just like that bastard!"

Adding in a low voice, filled with dissatisfaction, Yao Yin looked at Feng Yuan with disapproval as he swept a glance at her and said irritably,

"If you don’t want to wait, you can go back on your own. I believe he most likely wouldn’t refuse."

"I refuse! Why should I be the one looking for him instead of him coming for me!"

No matter how much she trusted Luo Tianxing, the fact that he hadn’t sought her out for so long left Yao Yin feeling very dissatisfied, especially after reading those novels. Her doubts became harder to suppress, though deep down, she kept telling herself he must still be in danger. Yet, as time went on, she couldn’t help but let her mind wander.

Noticing that Yao Yin was in a foul mood, Feng Yuan didn’t dare tease her further; he scratched his head and said with a bright smile,

"If you’re waiting here, it might take quite a long time."

"Why?!"

Yao Yin stared at Feng Yuan discontentedly, as if his brother, Tianxing, had been led astray by him. Feng Yuan spread his hands in a helpless gesture and said,

"Because of time standards. The time standard between Xinluo and Aonia is based on the modern era, but this place is beyond that temporal scope, and there’s a big difference in the passage of time."

Feng Yuan made sure to exert his power so that only Yao Yin and Guo Huai could hear this, as such knowledge, if known by Mo Li and the others, could lead to unnecessary speculation, even if they wouldn’t misuse the information.

"If nothing unexpected happens, after our tour here and we return to Yongning, I should still be able to sign up for the beginning of the school term."

"So what you’re saying is you’ve only been here for less than a month, and in such a short time, expecting him to deal with the mastermind behind the scenes and find you might be asking too much, right?"

"So that’s how it is..."

If it had indeed been less than a month, then Yao Yin could understand. After all, sometimes she would go out to play for longer than that by herself. But the thought of a month passing without Luo Tianxing looking for her made Yao Yin feel quite restless.

After a glance at Yao Yin, Feng Yuan didn’t say anything more; honestly, he was also clueless about what exactly was going on with Luo Tianxing. If Tianxing was indeed entertaining a harem, counseling Yao Yin would be rather inappropriate.

The Da Yuan Cat watched Feng Yuan for a good while before suddenly turning and vanishing into the night. Feng Yuan watched the flight of the cats with bemusement and remarked,

"What’s it doing now?"

"Who knows!"

Yao Yin, in a bad mood and realizing that petting the cat did nothing to soothe her annoyance, carefully put the cat down, stood up, dusted her hands, and said to Feng Yuan,

"I’ll take a walk around."

"Feel free, but remember not to attract any trouble."

Yao Yin glanced at the cluster of cats and said,

"You’d better think about how to deal with the trouble you’ve attracted."

Feng Yuan swept a look over the group of cats, sighed, and said in resignation,

"I’ll just have to take them with me... I hope we don’t encounter any dangers..."

After a while, Feng Yuan arrived with a large bamboo basket. The bottom was cushioned with a soft mat, scattered with numerous cat toys. Yao Yin gave Feng Yuan a side glance and said,

"You seem to have been prepared for this."

"It’s not that I can’t make it on the spot. Besides, you know I never planned to adopt a Spirit Beast here in the first place."

"Is that so?"

Yao Yin picked up a cat toy, revealing a eerie grin as she stared at Feng Yuan. The toy in her hands was very exquisite, clearly not something hastily made.

"Time projection, you know such a thing can be projected directly through time."

"Maintaining time does require the use of one’s own power, doesn’t it?"

Yao Yin, watching the cat toy in her hand, calmly said, with a slight smile, Feng Yuan carefully picked up a Da Yuan Cat and placed it in a basket, saying

"Do you think the consumption of these items’ power will affect me?"

After staring at Feng Yuan for a while, Yao Yin calmly said,

"It seems not."

"Eh? What are you planning to do?"

Seeing the Da Yuan Cat he had just put in run out again, Feng Yuan was puzzled. He petted the head of the Da Yuan Cat and softly said,

"Aren’t you supposed to be following me? Then just rest here."

Xiao Ji stood to one side, staring at Feng Yuan with a wronged look. Noticing Xiao Ji’s distress, Feng Yuan smiled and petted Xiao Ji’s head, saying,

"I’m just making them a nest, after all, we can’t let them keep resting in the wild..."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan looked up. Just then, the Da Yuan Cat that had just slipped away walked back elegantly. Seeing the object in the Da Yuan Cat’s mouth, Agunas’s shadow flicked its tail and said,

"I knew it."

"I see, so, are you willing to fight alongside us? Not just with me, but with all of us~"

Feng Yuan stood up, looking expectantly at the Da Yuan Cat, and reached out his hand to Mo Li, who was standing to one side, sipping tea and watching to see how Feng Yuan would resolve the situation.

"Hey, hey! The tea is spilling!"

Wiping his hands, Mo Li looked at Feng Yuan and said with disbelief,

"What on earth are you thinking? Didn’t you say they have no fighting capability? Why then are you letting them fight? We in Yongning are not lacking their bit of food; they don’t need to fight to earn their sustenance. But if they do come to Yongning and we really face war, we indeed may not have the spare strength to protect them..."

"They don’t need your protection."

Feng Yuan looked at the Da Yuan Cat, who seemed to find Mo Li’s words amusing, and let out a meow. The Da Yuan Cat dropped the Crystal Stones it was carrying in its mouth onto the ground, squatted down, and lifted its left paw, meowing at Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan, somewhat puzzled, stretched his hand under the cat’s paw and said,

"Is that so?"

The Da Yuan Cat gently tapped Feng Yuan’s hand with its raised left paw and meowed again towards Mo Li, who, confused, came over, crouched down, and extended his hand, saying,

"What are you doing?"

The Da Yuan Cat just meowed and tapped Mo Li’s palm, then pushed his hand away and meowed at Hua Yiyou, who was approaching. Feng Yuan said, somewhat amused,

"It seems I don’t have to worry about you~"

The Da Yuan Cat raised its head proudly and meowed. Hua Yiyou, still foggy, repeated the previous action and then looked at Feng Yuan, saying,

"What on earth does it want to do? Shake hands with everyone?"

"That’s impossible; it probably hasn’t accepted so many people yet."

At that moment, the Da Yuan Cat backed up a few steps, saw the basket beside it, leaped lightly, and landed softly on a cushion. It used its paw to scratch gently before comfortably settling in the cushiest spot, lazily calling to the smaller Da Yuan Cats.

Seeing each of the smaller Da Yuan Cats come forward and nibble off a small piece of the Crystal Stone the Da Yuan Cat had brought back, Hua Yiyou said in surprise,

"What are they doing?"

"Just deciding their own futures."

"What?"

Glancing at the puzzled Hua Yiyou, Feng Yuan smiled slightly and said,

"Now you should observe carefully; they have already begun to evolve."

"Evolve?"

Hua Yiyou looked at Feng Yuan in confusion, shaking his finger, Feng Yuan said proudly,

"Haven’t I told you? Although Da Yuan Cats lack fighting strength, as intermediate links in the evolution process, they naturally possess the ability to evolve into other Spirit Beasts."

"But isn’t evolution a gradual process? How is this different from evolution?"

Guo Huai said, puzzled. He had just come over and was startled by a plethora of evolution information and progress bars. He observed carefully and realized that the Da Yuan Cats had suddenly entered an evolutionary state.
