Chapter 595: Chapter 596 Idle Chat_1

"Self-cleansing merely removes superfluous matter; it has no effect on the ice it forms." Feng Yuan explained as he removed the chunks of ice frozen onto the Frost Shell’s shell. Devoid of its icy encasement, the Frost Shell now looked much like an ordinary colossal shell.

"What’s the significance of that?"

Having lost its wrapping of ice, the Frost Shell looked somewhat strange in Guo Huai’s eyes. Patting the shell of the massive Frost Shell, Feng Yuan said,

"At least it looks similar to its former kin now. However, I am quite curious to see how far their evolution will take them."

Thinking of the evolutionary forms of Big Flower Shells in ordinary waters, Feng Yuan grew curious. Compared to the Frost Shells, the Big Flower Shells in common seas evolved more slowly due to less survival pressure. Although the difficulty of evolution was similar, the Frost Shells, living in the harsh tundra, had to relentlessly search for every evolutionary material to gain the strength to survive.

"There should be Legendary Level ones too, right?"

Guo Huai was perplexed. Given that Frost Shells could evolve to Legendary Level, it stood to reason that their former kin would have some at that level as well. Feng Yuan glanced at the White Wolf Deity who had retracted the Frost Shell onto its head and, looking at Guo Huai with a smile, Feng Yuan said,

"That’s not necessarily the case. You can check out the evolutionary status of Big Flower Shells in different seas."

"Really?"

Guo Huai was puzzled, but Sandider seemed to have followed Feng Yuan’s instructions, directly pulling up the data on the Big Flower Shells for Guo Huai.

While perusing the data on Big Flower Shells, Guo Huai curiously asked,

"Speaking of which, why does Nanyu Kingdom turn a blind eye to us?"

"Turn a blind eye to us?"

"Yeah, we should have displayed our strength in the previous battles, right? Why is there not even an attempt to recruit us?"

Looking down at the Ritual Robe on his body, Feng Yuan said with a smirk,

"How do you propose they recruit someone with a Divine Envoy from the Temple? Suggest the Temple to relocate? Moreover..."

"Our power is too strong."

"Too strong?"

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan, not understanding why being too powerful would dissuade recruitment. Was it fear of a spy?

"The internal affairs of Nanyu Kingdom are quite chaotic. The Nanyu King and the force now leading Nanyu City are one faction, but they were previously marginalized by the alliance of the five major families. Apart from Nanyu City, they have little control over other regions."

"The Wei Family might be loyal to Nanyu, but those five families are not easy to contend with. Perhaps in terms of high-end power, the families can’t compare to the Nanyu King, but when it comes to control over the general populace, the Nanyu King falls short of the families."

"If they decisively wiped out the five families, perhaps Nanyu could rebuild itself effortlessly. The five families, wary of the King’s power, also dare not outright oppose him. All in all, both sides are in a constant power struggle but unable to clinch a decisive victory."

"But what does this have to do with recruiting us?"

Catching Guo Huai’s puzzled glance, Feng Yuan said disdainfully,

"If it were you, would you introduce a volatile element that could change the whole situation? Neither the Nanyu King nor the five families can be sure which side we would choose. Hence, they might as well not bother recruiting us, and keep playing their own game."

"That reasoning is too..."

Guo Huai didn’t know how to respond, feeling it was a bit capricious. He chuckled as Feng Yuan looked up at the night sky and said,

"Do you really want to follow Nanyu to overseas?"

"I do not."

Guo Huai answered decisively. He was there to assist Mo Li, not Nanyu. Where Nanyu went was of no consequence to him. Yet, glancing at the White Wolf Deity, Guo Huai expressed his concern,

"Aren’t you going to bring it back?"

"Bring what back?"

"The White Wolf Deity, of course. The so-called makeover looks..."

"Let’s leave it for now~"

"Hey!"

"Is that all?"

Glancing at Wei Dingwu, who was sipping hot tea, Feng Yuan asked with a smile. Gratefully looking at Feng Yuan, Wei Dingwu said,

"Thank you."

"Why thank him? If it weren’t for the so-called ’future dreamscape’ he created, you wouldn’t be in this mess."

Liu Wenli said discontentedly. Feng Yuan glanced at Liu Wenli and retorted,

"I don’t recall ever provoking you."

"Tch, who let you do that kind of thing to her."

"Sounds like you think I did something wrong to her."

"But never mind, thanks this time, have some tea."

Liu Wenli said as she picked up a cup of hot tea and handed it to Feng Yuan, who looked at Liu Wenli quizzically and said,

"What’s with you?"

"Nothing."

Liu Wenli replied calmly, but still held the cup of hot tea. Feng Yuan took the tea with some confusion and took a sip, saying,

"How did you know I like sweet stuff?"

"You always add almost half a cup of sugar, who wouldn’t know..."

Liu Wenli said speechlessly. It was the first time she had seen anyone drink tea like that. Wei Dingwu looked at Liu Wenli and then at Feng Yuan and said with a smile,

"Can I stay here tonight?"

"Sure, you can, but didn’t you say you were going back to pack your things?"

Remembering his experiences after returning to Nanyu City, Wei Dingwu sighed and didn’t say much. Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"I won’t ask, but it’s best if you take all your things with you. If there are too many..."

"Here, take this."

Wei Dingwu took the backpack that Feng Yuan handed over and said with some confusion,

"What’s this?"

"A spatial backpack. It doesn’t have any weight reduction effect, but it’s very durable. You can let the Telekinetic Brown Bear carry it, but... did they really allow you to take it with you when leaving?"

Feng Yuan looked curiously at the Telekinetic Brown Bear following behind Wei Dingwu. It wasn’t surprising that Amon followed Liu Wenli—she had the means and prestige to take it away. It was even uncertain whether Amon initially followed the Liu Family or Liu Wenli, whereas Wei Dingwu’s Telekinetic Brown Bear was a different matter.

Every Legendary Level Spirit Beast was an important asset to each family, and Feng Yuan didn’t believe that the family members would happily allow a Legendary Level Spirit Beast to follow a member out of the family unless under special circumstances.

"If my dad allows it, that’s enough. The opinions of others... don’t matter."

"The powerful Divine Lords are mostly from our branch anyway. The other branches can’t even command them. As long as he allows it, the others really can’t say much."

"But doing this means they’re not willing to tolerate anymore, right?"

Wei Fangwu said while grooming the White Ape’s fur. Wei Dingwu’s expression didn’t change as he said,

"They simply don’t understand what is truly needed."

"Haha, they have no choice. No matter how hard they try, they can’t catch up with the main branch. And with the provocation of those people, they ultimately want to make some changes."

"Yeah... everyone is just looking out for their own branch..."

Wei Dingwu spoke with a hint of despondency. Although his memory was vague, he could vaguely understand what they wanted to do and for what purpose. The self in his memories seemed very unfamiliar...

"Anyway, it doesn’t have much to do with you anymore."

Liu Wenli said calmly. Wei Dingwu’s relatives? They weren’t within her sphere of consideration. She just inexplicably liked Wei Dingwu but wasn’t really willing to make any sacrifices for him.

Forcing a smile, Wei Dingwu said slowly,

"Right... it just feels a bit unreal..."

"You two keep chatting. I’m going back to sleep."

Feng Yuan yawned and said, while Guo Huai glanced at Feng Yuan and remarked,

"If you’re tired, why don’t you rest early? Instead of having to go and bother the White Wolf Deity and the Frost Shell."

"Tch, how can you call that bothering."

Feng Yuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with Guo Huai and staggered toward his room. The Telekinetic Brown Bear took the backpack from Wei Dingwu’s hands and gestured at Wei Dingwu before turning around and leaving the cabin. Wei Fangwu glanced at the Telekinetic Brown Bear and said,

"It really cares about you."

"Yeah～"

With a sweet smile, Wei Dingwu said happily, while Amon licked the honey off his paw, tilted his head to look at Wei Dingwu and then at Liu Wenli, thought for a moment, quickly licked his paw clean, and sneakily moved behind Liu Wenli to embrace her in a comforting manner.

"Thank you, but that’s not necessary."

Liu Wenli said with a touch of amusement. The only problem with her Amon was that he always treated her like a child in need of care.
