Chapter 563: 564 Chapters Preparing to set off again_1

Seeing the Illusory Sound Parrot leave without looking back left everyone somewhat puzzled. After a while, the flames on the Xuan Turtle slowly extinguished, and it poked its head out to look around. Not finding a trace of the Illusory Sound Parrot, it seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, stretched its limbs, and then the Xuan Turtle slowly crawled towards the depths of the forest, leaving only the scorched earth as proof of the recent battle.

"Why?"

Guo Huai was somewhat puzzled. Clearly, both sides had seemed ready to fight to the death just moments before, but after claiming victory, the Illusory Sound Parrot had so easily spared the Xuan Turtle. Turning his head, Guo Huai saw the Illusory Sound Parrot and Little Green Snake by Feng Yuan’s side, looking at him with contempt, causing him to scratch his head and say with confusion,

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nonsense, Spirit Beasts generally don’t engage in random battles in the wild. If they do fight, it’s usually just to declare sovereignty over an area; it’s rare for them to fight to death."

"Why?"

"There’s no need. Compared to Spirit Beasts, there are many more plants and wild animals, and they’re not really short on food. Plus, they are all intelligent and not mortal enemies of one another. Isn’t this kind of situation quite normal?"

After patting the still agitated Illusory Sound Parrot, Feng Yuan dispelled the Phantom. Mo Li looked at the parrot with an inexplicable expression, seemingly deep in thought. Having personally seen the Xuan Turtle, a common Spirit Beast in the southern region of the Divine Land, although rare, Mo Li knew of its fearsome defensive power.

Mo Li, aware of the Xuan Turtle’s terrifying defense, naturally found it hard to believe that the large parrot before them had the ability to easily break through the Xuan Turtle’s defenses. Guo Huai saw Feng Yuan trying to teach the Illusory Sound Parrot the Spark skill and said with some confusion,

"It doesn’t even know this basic skill?"

"Seems like it really doesn’t."

"Do you think it could be..."

"Impossible. If it couldn’t learn elemental skills due to a physical defect, I would be able to tell. But I don’t see anything wrong with it."

"Let’s go eat something. It’s getting late. Should we set off tomorrow?"

Mo Li nodded and said,

"That’s right, and..."

"Wei Dongcheng left without saying goodbye to us?"

"Huh?!"

Guo Huai looked around somewhat surprised, only then realizing that Wei Dongcheng was not present. Mo Li smiled and said,

"He said he’d say goodbye to us when we set off. Right now, he wants to thoroughly study the culture of the Zhuo Ya Clan."

"Duomeng too... That’s a being similar to the Illusory Sound Parrot..."

Feng Yuan remarked with some emotion, to which Guo Huai glanced at the Illusory Sound Parrot and said,

"Who do you think is stronger, the Illusory Sound Parrot or Duomeng?"

Feng Yuan, glancing at Guo Huai, said irritably,

"Do you even need to ask? A Common Level Duomeng winning against an Elite Level Illusory Sound Parrot would be strange. There’s such a big difference in strength levels."

"I meant at the same level!"

"At the same level..."

After thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan said uncertainly,

"Hard to say. Although Duomeng’s depiction reduces the power of a skill by thirty percent, it doesn’t need to learn the skill; just seeing it is enough. However, the Illusory Sound Parrot is different. Although it can learn most skills, in reality, it certainly wouldn’t know as many skills as Duomeng does."

Guo Huai said with some confusion,

"So you’re saying the Illusory Sound Parrot is no match for Duomeng?"

Hearing Guo Huai’s words, the Illusory Sound Parrot fluffed up its feathers in displeasure, flapping its wings in a threatening manner as it squawked at Guo Huai. Feng Yuan looked at the ruffled Illusory Sound Parrot and said,

"It’s hard to say, the key lies in the skills mastered by both sides. If Duomeng has seen a lot of skills, then maybe the Illusory Sound Parrot might not be a match. But if the Illusory Sound Parrot also knows numerous skills, it might be a draw, as the thirty percent reduction in power is quite significant."

"By the way, you don’t have to be envious. In fact, you could do the same as the Illusory Sound Parrot just now, or even better."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the Illusory Sound Parrot looked somewhat sheepish as Feng Yuan patted its head and said,

"No rush, let’s go eat first."

Guo Huai joked with Feng Yuan,

"Should we give it a name?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and said,

"Are you serious?"

"Haha, just kidding~ I thought you might actually do it~"

Although Mo Li and others were somewhat puzzled by their conversation, they did not ask questions. Hua Yiyou, after some thought, guessed the reason, but looking at the still somewhat vigilant Illusory Sound Parrot, he decided not to say anything. Mo Ling, though curious about why naming seemed so solemn, remained silent seeing that Mo Li and the others did not speak.

"How do you plan to settle that Illusory Sound Parrot?"

That evening, in Mo Li’s room, Feng Yuan, after letting the Illusory Sound Parrot freely practice its special abilities, took Xiao Ji to Mo Li’s room. Mo Ling and Hua Yiyou were also curious to hear Feng Yuan’s answer, and after thinking about it, Feng Yuan said,

"I’ll teach it some of the special abilities, and then it can return to the wild. Otherwise, with its current state, it would have some difficulty claiming a territory."

"By the way, what does naming actually mean?"

Mo Ling asked with curiosity, while Mo Li and Hua Yiyou only had speculations and could not give her a precise answer. Guo Huai smiled and said,

"It means companions."

"Companions?"

"Yes, in our tradition, only those Spirit Beasts that can become trustworthy companions are given names by us."

Mo Li asked with some curiosity,

"Why is that?"

"Because some Spirit Beasts are just collaborators with us, much like the current situation between me and you all."

"We... are just collaborators..."

Mo Ling suddenly lowered her head, sounding dejected, and Feng Yuan, scratching his head in confusion, said,

"That was just an analogy... Aren’t we friends?"

"Really... are we... friends?"

Mo Ling lifted her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Feng Yuan, who sighed, seemingly a bit helpless, and said,

"Otherwise, why would I keep following you? Like him, although he is said to be your brother’s strategist, he is not the only strategist your brother has. Why do you think when your brother went out, he only took him along?"

"Isn’t it because only he can leave without drawing attention? It’s hard to find a substitute for the others, isn’t it?"

Yao Yin looked at Feng Yuan somewhat amused. She just wanted to see Feng Yuan in a dilemma. Seeing Feng Yuan staring at her, Mo Li took a glance at Hua Yiyou and said,

"Actually, what you said... exists too, although we’ve only just met not long ago, but I feel that he’s more like a friend than..."

Mo Ling smiled, wiping away her tears, and said,

"Clearly, it’s you who are pulling us forward~"

"Really?"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan replied somewhat sheepishly. He did not know when it had happened, but somehow he had started to take the lead in directing the team’s path. Although in the end it was Mo Li who decided the route, it had always been him making the suggestions.

"However, are you really willing to let it go?"

Guo Huai asked Feng Yuan with some curiosity. He didn’t think Feng Yuan would pass up such a good opportunity, especially since the system had even suggested that Feng Yuan wanted to take the Illusory Sound Parrot away. Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and said irritably,

"What’s there to be unwilling about? I don’t know its decision, but don’t forget, I can’t directly take Spirit Beasts here."

With a suggestive look towards Pomiti, Guo Huai said,

"Really?"

"Pomiti is a special case. Were it not for It, Pomiti wouldn’t be able to travel back and forth between the two places. Otherwise, why do you think it only brings back inanimate objects?"

"This..."

Faced with Feng Yuan’s question, Guo Huai did not know how to refute. It was common knowledge that Lorraine Tower occasionally brought souvenirs from the past, and as for why it was only inanimate objects and not living things, according to Lorraine Tower, directly transporting living things through time incurred a cost. This was also why Feng Yuan and Guo Huai, when they returned to the Dynasty Era, appeared as twelve-year-old versions of themselves.

Of course, if Feng Yuan wanted to, his original self could also come without much trouble, as the punishment for time crossing didn’t really affect him. However, because Feng Yuan wanted to sort out history, he did not wish to bring too many elements that could cause changes. As for Yao Yin? She never left any trace in time from the start to the end; she did not belong to this world.
