Chapter 556: Chapter 557 Special Costume_1

"They must still be in hiding; now is not the time, but if Great Li also gets involved..."

Mo Li’s expression turned somewhat ugly. If the neighboring countries were all plotting against Nanyu, neither Mo Li nor Hua Yiyou were optimistic about Nanyu’s ability to continue maintaining the status quo, especially if a power like Great Li entered the fray, which could very likely result in them completely carving up Nanyu.

"Those people really have too much free time. With their own internal affairs in such chaos, they still have the energy to meddle in Nanyu’s business."

Feng Yuan said disdainfully. Mo Li didn’t know how to respond. After all, Feng Yuan wasn’t wrong — Great Li wasn’t in a much better state at that moment. Zhen Nan and Bei Ding could be said to have already drifted beyond the control of the Royal Court of Great Li, and Mo Li even suspected there might not be just these two areas in such a state.

"Come in."

Hearing the knock on the door, Mo Li called out, and the door was slowly pushed open. Mo Ling stuck her head out, looked at the three people, and said,

"Aren’t you guys going to sleep? We have to get up early tomorrow, brother... you can try to trust others more. Don’t look into everything, you’ll wear yourself out if you keep this up."

"I know, you go rest first."

Mo Li replied with a smile to Mo Ling in a soft voice. Mo Ling took another glance at the three people, withdrew her head, and as the door slowly closed, Feng Yuan glanced at Mo Li and said with a smirk,

"There’s a term for it — ’Siscon’."

"Get lost!"

"I’m off, I’m off –– time to sleep."

Feng Yuan laughed and dashed out of the room, pulling the door behind him. Mo Li sighed helplessly as he watched Feng Yuan’s retreating figure, and Hua Yiyou said with a slight smile,

"She’s right, you know. You’re exhausted, you need more rest."

"I wish I could, but... what about the Yongning Army if I do that... Although I can delegate authority, they may not be able to keep them in check..."

"If Feng Yuan could help us..."

Hua Yiyou looked at Mo Li and said calmly,

"You know it wouldn’t be good for us if his true self got directly involved."

"Attracting their attention? That’s true... Just taking out the Wolf God Giant Sword got their attention..."

Mo Li said with a bitter smile. To be honest, when Feng Yuan took out the Black Wolf God Giant Sword, he hadn’t thought it was problematic, considering this was Nanyu Kingdom, not bordering Great Li at all. But the people of the Great Li Dynasty were able to identify Feng Yuan immediately, not just suspecting him, but they were bold enough to start a fight in Yongning. Mo Li suspected that if not for Wolf Mountain Hall being right next to Great Li City and the presence of the White Wolf Deity, those guys might have been bold enough to attack Wolf Mountain.

"Don’t worry about them so much –– what are you so mad about?"

Back in his room, Feng Yuan was amused as he tousled Xiao Ji, who had taken on the appearance of an irritated bright yellow fur ball. After hearing about what had been done to Feng Yuan in Yongning and the questioning at Wolf Mountain Hall, Xiao Ji looked like it wanted to fight back but couldn’t show it in Mo Li’s room. Once back in its own room, Xiao Ji begged Feng Yuan for permission to attack the Royal Court of Great Li.

"You’re too impulsive; such action wouldn’t benefit him."

The phantom of Agunas said as it looked at Xiao Ji with a sense of helplessness. In its view, Xiao Ji’s idea was completely impractical. Xiao Ji stared at Feng Yuan, seemingly waiting for an explanation. Feng Yuan spread his hands and said,

"If I could really slap them to death with one hand, I would have done it long ago. It’s easy to act, but the consequences would be troublesome. Don’t forget my purpose for coming here. Just setting up everything has already been a hassle, let alone the fact that such an action would greatly disrupt history, and correcting that wouldn’t be something that could be done in an instant."

Seeing Xiao Ji look a bit disappointed, Feng Yuan smiled and stroked its head, saying,

"Don’t be like that; we’re actually far better off than others. At least we can decide what we want to do. Although we have to restrain ourselves due to the need to maintain history, in reality, we have the strength to flip the table."

"What’s the point if they don’t know your strength?"

Agunas’s phantom flicked its tail irritably as Feng Yuan glanced at it and said,

"So what? Even though they don’t know I can flip the table at any time, they’re still very wary of my strength, aren’t they? Otherwise, why would they care so much about me?"

"That is true... They want to get rid of you but fear the terrifying backlash if they fail."

"Hehe."

Feng Yuan laughed proudly. Influenced by Feng Yuan’s smile, Xiao Ji was no longer angry and snuggled up against Feng Yuan’s leg, yawning.

"Feeling sleepy now?"

Feng Yuan poked Xiao Ji’s little belly with amusement, only to be met with a disdainful glance from Xiao Ji.

"What do you mean by that? I was just massaging your belly!"

Watching Feng Yuan vigorously rub Xiao Ji’s belly as it resisted fiercely, Agunas’s phantom spoke in an annoyed tone,

"If you keep this up, you might get too excited to sleep."

"You can really do that?!"

"Hehe~"

Feng Yuan swung his wolf tail proudly. For the sake of his tail, he had deliberately chosen not to wear his robe. Seeing Feng Yuan’s wolf tail swaying freely behind him, Mo Ling expressed her envy,

"How did you do that?"

"Telekinesis."

As soon as Wei Dongcheng saw Feng Yuan, he understood what he had done. Hearing Wei Dongcheng’s explanation, Mo Ling was immediately disappointed; if it required telekinesis, then it was indeed something she couldn’t accomplish. Guo Huai glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Are you planning to go out like that? Aren’t you cold?"

The large wolf tail swept in front of Guo Huai, and Feng Yuan replied disdainfully,

"It’s not raining, so what’s there to be cold about? The only use for a robe is to shield from the wind and rain."

The Ritual Robe’s outer layer was much like a winter coat, and while some might have pockets for carrying items conveniently, its main purpose was to maintain temperature and serve as rain gear. Yao Yin glanced at the gloomy sky outside and said,

"Who knows, it might actually oblige you."

"As if!"

Feng Yuan responded discontentedly, but no sooner had he finished speaking than a light drizzle began to fall outside. Yao Yin glanced towards the doorway and said,

"See?"

"This..."

Feng Yuan scratched his head and stealthily took out the pitch-black Ancient Book, while the Agunas apparition said, somewhat exasperated,

"Surely, you’re not considering changing the weather over something as trivial as this, are you?"

"But..."

Seeing Feng Yuan looking pitifully at him, the Agunas apparition flicked its tail and suggested,

"Why not just wear the robe?"

The huge wolf tail swept in front of the Agunas apparition, and Feng Yuan said, unsatisfied,

"I went to great lengths to get this wolf tail working; look how fun it is."

Guo Huai grabbed at the swinging wolf tail and said,

"Can’t you stop this... It’s somewhat annoying, being swung around like that."

"Tch~"

With a turn, Feng Yuan freed his wolf tail from Guo Huai’s grasp and deliberately flaunted it in front of him. He then put on his outer robe and donned a white hood, while his wolf tail, under his control, restlessly swished about inside his robe, making it seem as though there was some strange creature hidden within.

After checking the items in his possession and leaving behind in the inn those that could be spared, the group was ready to head out. The guards, silently following by Mo Li’s side, delegated some of their number to stay and help look after the belongings left in the inn alongside those off duty.

"Let’s go~"

Feng Yuan said excitedly, while Guo Huai appeared rather indifferent to the prospect. Mo Ling, holding Mo Li’s hand, walked happily toward the door. Yao Yin handed Mo Ling an oiled paper umbrella and said,

"Here, at least this way you won’t need a cloak, and it won’t cover up your decorations."

Accepting the umbrella, Mo Ling looked at Yao Yin with envy. With snow-like fluffy ornaments adorning her pure white Daoist robe, she looked ethereal yet playful, like a celestial being mislaid to the world of mortals when she stood at the doorway with her umbrella.

Looking at herself, Mo Ling was adorned with numerous petal decorations and a pair of butterfly wings on her back. Yet, whether due to her young age or personality, she seemed more like a mischievous girl than anything else. Gazing at Yao Yin, Mo Ling said with envy,

"You look so beautiful~ I wish I could be like you~"

As Mo Ling spoke, her eyes covertly swept over to Feng Yuan, who was amusingly using his wolf tail to tease Pomiti. Yao Yin smiled gently and said,

"That’s nothing, really. I believe you will be very pretty when you grow up too."

Gazing at twelve-year-old Mo Ling, Yao Yin felt a bit wistful. From her current appearance, Yao Yin could tell that Mo Ling would definitely grow into a great beauty, but... casting a glance at Feng Yuan, Yao Yin wasn’t sure how to express that to Mo Ling.
