Chapter 597: Chapter 598 Farewell_1

Agunas’s shadowy figure took some time to explain to the Frost Shell, and it was only after the explanation that the Frost Shell believed the Kui Shui Xuanwu wouldn’t harm its own kind. Slowly sinking into the sea, the Frost Shell seemed to be off to search for its kin.

The Kui Shui Xuanwu had already swum near the beach by now. Its massive limbs firmly landed on the seabed, and it walked step by step towards Feng Yuan’s direction.

"The ’boat’ is coming~"

"What kind of boat is that..."

Guo Huai watched the huge Kui Shui Xuanwu speechlessly; by now, it had slowly made its way onto the shore. Although its limbs weren’t long, the creature was so huge that the company could easily stand under its belly without having to bend their knees or lower their heads. Wei Dingwu, somewhat puzzled, said,

"Why does it feel like its weight isn’t as heavy as I imagined?"

The Kui Shui Xuanwu walked on the sand effortlessly, leaving only shallow paw prints behind. The earth didn’t tremble violently either, nothing like what would be expected from such a large creature passing by.

"Divine Beasts should all possess the ability to manipulate their own gravity, since most of them are not small in size."

Guo Huai guessed, but whether it was true still needed confirmation from Feng Yuan, who seemed to know more about these things. With a wave of his hand, Feng Yuan said,

"Not just Divine Beasts, most Spirit Beasts have the ability to control gravity, but most can only lighten their weight. Only Divine Beasts have complete control. Of course, some special Spirit Beasts can also achieve it."

Climbing onto Kui Shui Xuanwu’s back, they decided to follow Nanyu City first to check the situation. If the other party couldn’t find a foothold in the short term, they would not continue following Nanyu City but instead turn towards the southern part of Nan Huang within Great Yan’s borders to return to Great Li.

"Hm? What’s it doing?"

Feng Yuan looked at the Frost Shell, which was following alongside Kui Shui Xuanwu with some curiosity. The shell seemed to be saying something. Agunas’s shadowy figure glanced at Feng Yuan, floated over, and after communicating briefly with the Frost Shell, said to Feng Yuan,

"It wants to go with you."

"It doesn’t want to stay with its kin?"

Guo Huai asked, somewhat surprised. After all, the other party had only just returned to its previous home, so why leave so soon? Feng Yuan glanced at the sea surface, where traces of ice were barely visible, and sighed,

"Alas, they are strangers now, as the Common Level Big Flower Shell cannot withstand the Frost Shell’s chill."

Hua Yiyou looked at the sea surface where the Big Flower Shell had appeared earlier, and there, one could faintly see ice chips; the water surrounding the Frost Shell was already beginning to freeze gradually.

"Can’t it control it?"

"It can’t. This is a natural talent, even it cannot stop it completely, at most it can make the icy wind weaker."

As he said this, Feng Yuan thought of those special Spirit Beasts and sighed. Agunas’s shadowy figure swished its tail and said,

"If not for this, how could it possess such great strength?"

"Because it evolved into a Frost Shell, it can’t return to its own group?"

Guo Huai spoke in a somewhat disheartened tone, and as he did, he seemed to remember something. He lifted his head and looked at Feng Yuan, saying,

"I remember Teacher Yan once..."

Glancing at Guo Huai, Feng Yuan said annoyingly,

"That was Lorraine Tower’s doing; do you think reversely evolving a Spirit Beast is something anyone can accomplish? Besides, it’s not a time of peace; for the Frost Shell to be like its kin, it would need to reverse evolve back to the Big Flower Shell, then evolve again in a Common Level sea area. Do you think that’s possible?"

"This..."

Guo Huai didn’t know how to argue back. If it regressed to a Big Flower Shell, it would be like falling from Legendary Level straight down to Common Level and then having to evolve slowly again. That seemed highly unlikely, and even if it retained some residual power, allowing it to evolve faster, the difference in evolution materials meant it would still need to search for the right materials once it reached its evolutionary limit.

"So stop daydreaming, if it really comes to it, we’ll just bring it back to the seaside and let it watch from a distance, right?"

"Why do I feel that’s even crueler..."

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly, and Hua Yiyou, looking pityingly at the Frost Shell, said,

"Since it’s like this, let me take care of it..."

"Can you handle it?"

Feng Yuan didn’t really want to bring the Frost Shell back to Yongning, as the frigid wind effect it produced was more than most people could bear. Hua Yiyou laughed and said

"How would you know if you don’t try?"

"Then, suit yourself."

As Feng Yuan spoke, he glanced at the White Wolf Deity. The other party had fished the Frost Shell onto the back of Kui Shui Xuanwu, sending wave after wave of cold wind towards everyone. Tightening his clothes, Feng Yuan looked at the Deep Blue Spirit Shells and Big Flower Shells in the distance and said,

"They are saying goodbye to you."

The Frost Shell emitted a low sound as if bidding farewell to its former kin. Feng Yuan watched the Frost Shell reluctantly gaze back at its homeland, and, holding Pomiti and Xiao Ji, walked toward the center of Kui Shui Xuanwu’s back shell.

"It is tough on them."

Listening to the strange music coming from the Deep Blue Spirit Shells far away, Feng Yuan smiled as he spoke. Hua Yiyou squatted next to the Frost Shell and gently patted its shell. Guo Huai glanced at Hua Yiyou and sighed as he asked his system.

(Can the Frost Shell really only leave this place?)

"Ding—Its freedom to go where it wishes is not in question, but the Big Flower Shells in ordinary seas cannot withstand the Frost Shell’s frigid wind. Even if it stays, all it can do is watch them from a distance, which isn’t beneficial at all."

(But this...)

"Ding—This is its own choice, no one is forcing it to stay or leave."

Glancing at the Frost Shell with its slightly open shell, Guo Huai’s thoughts became a bit muddled. The Blue Butterfly Demon alighted on the Frost Shell, fluttering its wings. Tiny glistening dust settled on the Frost Shell’s shell, complementing the gradually forming ice crystals and making it look exceptionally beautiful.

Kui Shui Xuanwu wasn’t slow, and soon, the sounds of the Deep Blue Spirit Shells could no longer be heard. Hua Yiyou was there, comforting the somewhat disheartened Frost Shell. Just as Guo Huai was about to find Feng Yuan, a loud bird cry in the sky startled everyone.

"Is that... the Fire Vermilion Bird?!"

Guo Huai watched incredulously as the huge Firebird slowly flew across the sky. It seemed highly unlikely for a flame-element Divine Beast like the Fire Vermilion Bird to appear over the vast ocean. Looking in the direction Feng Yuan had departed, Guo Huai said with confusion,

"What exactly is he trying to do?"

As the Fire Vermilion Bird flew over Kui Shui Xuanwu, its flames burst forth like an explosion, scattering bits of Starfire down below. Listening to the discontented roar of Kui Shui Xuanwu, Guo Huai said without words,

"It couldn’t be trying to fight Kui Shui Xuanwu, could it?"

"Ding—Impossible, with him there, they can’t start a fight. The White Wolf Deity could easily suppress them. Besides, Kui Shui Xuanwu is currently carrying so many people, it neither would nor dares to make a move."

"The delivery arrived that quickly?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s voice by his ear, Guo Huai glanced at Feng Yuan and said without good humor,

"What have you been up to now?"

"Online shopping—didn’t expect the delivery to arrive so fast—"

"You really are... capricious..."

The Agunas phantom didn’t quite know how to comment on Feng Yuan’s behavior. Among the Starfire falling from the sky, there was one particularly bright cluster that slowly drifted towards Feng Yuan’s position. When it came close, Feng Yuan reached out and plucked a red gemstone from among it.

"What’s that?"

Seeing Feng Yuan crafting the gemstone onto a metal chain, Guo Huai asked with some confusion. He found that his system could not provide any information on the gemstone. To think that a gemstone falling from the Fire Vermilion Bird would be ordinary? He didn’t believe it for a second. As he worked on the gemstone, Feng Yuan said,

"That’s the Flame Red Gemstone from the Fire Vermilion Bird, it’s of no use to you."

"What are you using it for?"

Curious, Guo Huai thought a gemstone bearing the name of the Fire Vermilion Bird must have some special effect. Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and said,

"It’s for Hua Yiyou."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan walked over to Hua Yiyou and gently patted his shoulder. Xiao Ji followed closely behind Feng Yuan, and when they came near the Frost Shell, a gust of cold wind blew over, causing Xiao Ji to shudder and huddle its body slightly, its bright yellow fur even sporting a few ice crystals.
