Chapter 593: Chapter 594 Future_1

"Isn’t this just the root? Can they really erase this place?"

"You, don’t you miss your friends in Nanyu City?"

"Friends?"

Wei Fangwu’s expression changed, and he sighed,

"I have no friends left in Nanyu City..."

"I see."

Feng Yuan said, shifting his position and slowly closing his eyes, seemingly unwilling to say more. Mo Li glanced at Wei Fangwu, thought for a moment but didn’t speak. Zi Mo nuzzled Mo Li with her head, suggesting he could rest like Feng Yuan. After stroking Zi Mo’s head, Mo Li laughed,

"I don’t have his abilities; I’d fall off if I slept on your back."

Zi Mo huffed discontentedly at this, seeing Feng Yuan asleep on the back of the White Wolf Deity. Guo Huai said somewhat speechlessly,

"That guy really is... carefree."

"He must be exhausted, he hardly rested before."

Mo Ling spoke up in Feng Yuan’s defense. Although Feng Yuan had rested for a while after reverting from his demonic transformation, for a long time after that, he had been responsible for dealing with those Legendary-Level beings. It was because of this battle that Mo Li became even more cautious in his estimation of the strength of the Royal Court of Great Li. If the joint forces could easily handle them, what about the Royal Court of Great Li?

Even though the joint forces had so many legendary and Legendary-Level beings because they were a coalition of multiple countries, no country would reveal its true power at such a time. The land of Nanyu Kingdom did not warrant that privilege.

Indeed, Mo Li suspected that among the hidden cards of the Royal Court of Great Li, there might very well be beings like those Feng Yuan mentioned, the strongest beings under the Divine Beasts, of Sacred Beast Level.

"Shall we start a fire and cook?"

Guo Huai, feeling hungry, tentatively asked the group. Though they had snacked during battle by rotating shifts, the reality was that during the intense fighting, they hadn’t eaten much. Mo Li said with a wry smile,

"We only have dry rations, even if we cook, it’ll just be plain rice."

The White Wolf Deity glanced at Mo Li and lightly tapped its paw, causing chunks of meat and some delicious-looking wild vegetables to float in midair. Mo Ling exclaimed in surprise,

"Can Divine Beasts conjure food, too?"

"No, that’s just food stored from its own space,"

Agunas’s spectral form swished its tail as it spoke, not wanting Mo Ling and the others to harbor any strange misunderstandings about Divine Beasts. Guo Huai held back a laugh and said,

"Aren’t Divine Beasts supposed to be omnipotent?"

After receiving a glare from Agunas’s spectral form, Guo Huai shrank his neck and said,

"Just kidding..."

"Oof... This way of waking someone up is unethical."

Rubbing his eyes, Feng Yuan complained as he sat up on the back of the White Wolf Deity. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Guo Huai said irritably,

"You could continue sleeping, we didn’t call you."

"With such a tempting aroma, how could I keep sleeping? And hey, Xiao Ji, when did you sneak off to eat?"

Looking over at Xiao Ji, who was already sitting on the ground eating, Feng Yuan complained. Looking around, Feng Yuan realized that at some point, everyone had returned to the shores of Nan Zhu Lake and the surrounding refugees were sneakily peeking at their group from time to time.

Xiao Ji swept Feng Yuan an unsatisfied glance. It wasn’t like him with his spiritual power severely depleted. Xiao Ji had recovered quite early and was energetically guarding by Feng Yuan’s side.

Sliding down from the White Wolf Deity, Feng Yuan patted it and said,

"Wait for me to finish eating, and I’ll give the White Wolf Deity a new coating to celebrate our victory in the war~"

"Coating?"

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan curiously but did not elaborate further. Although Feng Yuan was not the Divine Pact Maker of the White Wolf Deity, he could tell that Feng Yuan had a good relationship with it. Even if he did something strange, the White Wolf Deity probably wouldn’t lash out.

"Strange, how did you guys get such a rich supply of ingredients?"

Feng Yuan was somewhat puzzled. Liu Wenli was still bustling around, and the ground was already covered with a large amount of food that looked appetizing. Glancing at the White Wolf Deity, Guo Huai said,

"Given by the White Wolf Deity."

"Impossible, how could the White Wolf Deity hoard condiments? Salt pearl powder isn’t something you guys would be able to prepare."

Feng Yuan knew just from tasting it what ingredients were used. As a special condiment exclusive to the coast, the villages they had passed through couldn’t possibly have such things. As for it being brought by Mo Li and the others? That was even less likely; the stuff was expensive and completely unaffordable for Yongning, still recovering from the aftermath of the war.

"You can taste that?"

Yao Yin looked at Feng Yuan in surprise. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have known that condiments like salt pearl powder had been added, since its effect was merely to enhance the flavor and make the food seem fresher. Feng Yuan glanced at Yao Yin and said proudly,

"Of course～who do you think I am～"

"What’s wrong with her?"

Noticing that Wei Dingwu was looking down sadly, Feng Yuan was somewhat puzzled. Wei Fangwu, after taking a sip of wine, said discontentedly,

"It’s his fault, isn’t it? Speaking nicely didn’t work, so he had to issue a command to make her leave."

"Make her leave?"

"Yeah, but I thought he would have her stay in Nanyu City. I didn’t expect he still cared about her that much."

Wei Fangwu said, his expression growing somber. Feng Yuan, who knew about the dirty secrets within the Royal Court of Nanyu, wasn’t surprised in the least. Even though Guo Huai didn’t understand exactly what had happened, similar situations weren’t unheard of within the Federation, and the lower-class citizens especially loved discussing the dirty laundry that was aired publicly.

Mo Ling wanted to comfort Wei Dingwu, but being entirely unaware of the situation, she had no idea how to do so. Feng Yuan glanced at Wei Dingwu and said,

"Can’t figure it out? Or is it... Forget it, for the sake of friendship..."

Feng Yuan pulled out an old-fashioned lantern and shook it. The spectral image of Agunas, upon seeing the time fragments flickering within the lantern’s flame, hesitated and said,

"Is what you’re doing really good for her?"

"There’s nothing good or bad about it. Do you want to know what you’ll encounter if you go out to sea with Nanyu City?"

"It won’t be anything good."

Feng Yuan said slowly, staring at Wei Dingwu. Wei Dingwu, looking up at Feng Yuan, was somewhat puzzled. Feng Yuan shook the lantern in his hand and said calmly,

"I can show you the possibilities of the future, the future that awaits should you choose to go to sea with Nanyu Kingdom; but be mindful, it might not be a future you would want to see. Do you want to give it a try?"

"What’s the point of doing this?"

The spectral image of Agunas asked curiously, not believing that Feng Yuan and even her father would really let her go to sea with Nanyu Kingdom. Shaking his forefinger, Feng Yuan said,

"I simply don’t want her and him to have any misunderstandings. Some things, no matter how clearly explained, can’t be understood as well as experiencing them firsthand. At least, I don’t want her to have regrets later on."

"Regrets?"

Wei Dingwu looked at Wei Fangwu with a puzzled expression. Although she knew about certain incidents Wei Fangwu had been through, she still found it hard to accept that her own father would ask her to leave Nanyu Kingdom, which completely contradicted his past loyalty to it.

"Want to give it a try?"

Feng Yuan shook the lantern towards Wei Dingwu as he spoke. To the spectral image of Agunas, however, his voice sounded like the temptation of a demon, especially considering Feng Yuan’s unique avatar form he had displayed before, which made it seem like there wasn’t anything wrong with what he was saying.

Seeing Wei Dingwu looking towards him, Wei Fangwu took a swig of alcohol and said,

"It’s your own matter; I don’t want to give you any advice."

After a long hesitation, Wei Dingwu made up her mind and said to Feng Yuan,

"I want to know what exactly I will encounter if I leave with Nanyu Kingdom!"

Feng Yuan smiled faintly, shook the lantern vigorously, and the flame spread wildly. Wei Dingwu’s eyes went blank in an instant, as the Telekinetic Brown Bear watched Feng Yuan nervously, fearing for Wei Dingwu’s safety.

"Guiding someone through a stroll in the future? You truly are more formidable than I imagined～"

Liu Wenli said with a smile, looking at Feng Yuan. Glancing at Liu Wenli, Feng Yuan replied calmly,

"Aren’t you much the same, being able to continuously glimpse the possibilities of the future?"

"But is it really okay to let her experience that cruel reality directly?"

Liu Wenli didn’t need to think twice to guess what would happen if Wei Dingwu returned to Nanyu City; what would those noble families who dared undermine the King of Nanyu be different from the ones she had dealt with before?
