Chapter 631: Chapter 632 Contradiction_1

"Is there a problem?"

Guo Huai asked, somewhat puzzled. He felt that whether Delong Tower showed up or not shouldn’t impact their negotiations. Feng Yuan glanced at the statue and said,

"Won’t they laugh when they see that statue? The so-called Lord Sea God may look cute, but it’s fake."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Delong Tower directly sprayed a jet of water at Feng Yuan. Xiao Ji agilely dodged before the water hit Feng Yuan, who then said discontentedly to Delong Tower,

"What I said was merely the truth. What’s the point of spraying me?"

Delong Tower glanced at Feng Yuan and then at the chubby ’Sea God’ statue while the surrounding water spheres began to spin faster. Cheng Yong didn’t notice Delong Tower’s actions but, reminded of something, quickly said,

"Right! Our statue doesn’t resemble Lord Sea God at all. We need to take it down immediately!"

Seeing Cheng Yong rush to Master Xia Yu and say something, Feng Yuan shrugged and said,

"He’s running off now; I suspect he’s going to stir up trouble."

Sure enough, just as Feng Yuan had expected, the next moment Master Xia Yu, with a face red with embarrassment and seemingly somewhat angry, tapped Cheng Yong’s head. Xia Chi looked on, enjoying the drama, occasionally chipping in something. Then, with his face still beet red and looking rather fierce, the old man strode to the fountain, ignoring the water soaking his clothes, and forcefully removed the statue.

Seeing the fountain, which now looked somewhat unsightly without its crown, Feng Yuan said with resignation,

"So why was he so impulsive?"

"I think had you not said anything, this wouldn’t have happened."

Glancing at Master Xia Yu, who was scolding Cheng Yong, Liu Wenli said calmly. Wei Fangwu looked towards the beach and said,

"Speaking of which, where are we staying tonight?"

Seeing Mo Li look towards him, Feng Yuan spread his hands and said,

"You all can decide. As long as it’s not too conspicuous, right?"

"Is that so..."

After pondering for a moment, Mo Li said,

"Let’s go over there then."

"I remember there’s a small forest behind that row of houses. It’s all shielded by buildings, we can do whatever without affecting them."

Mo Li took a moment to recall that spot. Other places weren’t lacking space, but if there was no cover, it wouldn’t look good if the invited guests saw them. Although they might not mind, Mo Li didn’t want to intentionally cause them inconvenience.

"That place? Sure, I’ll conjure a small cabin there."

Feng Yuan waved his staff and said. Mo Li looked at the others and said,

"I’m going to borrow a kitchen. What about you guys?"

"Brother, I’ll go with you."

"There’s nowhere interesting anyway, so of course I’ll stay with you all."

Yao Yin said nonchalantly. Pearl Town wasn’t big nor a commercial hub, and they had already visited all the places worth visiting. Guo Huai glanced in the direction Feng Yuan had left and said,

"I’ll go check on that guy. I’m not comfortable leaving him by himself there. It would be troublesome if he conjured something bizarre."

"Then I’ll leave it in your hands."

Mo Li said with a wry smile, knowing full well that although Feng Yuan was usually reliable, he would sometimes indulge in pranks. Leaving him alone to set up camp might lead to unexpected situations.

"What’s going on?"

Having just set up camp, Feng Yuan heard some quarreling and, curious, emerged with Xiao Ji in his arms to see two groups of people confronting each other in Pearl Square, each wearing their distinctive attire.

After listening for a while, Feng Yuan realized it was all inconsequential bickering. He scratched his head, glanced at Guo Huai, and asked,

"Does your system have any prompts? Like giving a mission or something?"

"What? Of course not! It’s not that bored."

Guo Huai replied to Feng Yuan, dumbfounded. His system mainly provided rewards and information related to Spirit Beasts. When did it start caring about human quarrels? As Feng Yuan watched the two groups, ready to come to blows, he thought for a moment and then said,

"Delong Tower, separate them. Let them cool down a bit."

Delong Tower looked contemptuously at the two sides, floated over with his water spheres without getting too close, and let out a loud roar. Water columns sprouted from the water spheres by Delong Tower’s side, blocking both groups poised to start a fight. Some people, dubious, tried to rush through the water columns, only to be swept aside forcefully by the water.

Glancing at the crowd who now turned their gaze toward him, Delong Tower waved his fins, and clouds appeared out of nowhere above Pearl Town, bringing with it a light drizzle. Feng Yuan quickly raised a green barrier, hugging Xiao Ji close, and said,

"Delong Tower really... even if he is breaking up a fight, why does it have to rain?"

Guo Huai glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Probably learned it from you."

"That’s slander!"

"Isn’t that your usual habit?"

The voice of Delong Tower rang out, and Feng Yuan hung his head dejectedly and said,

"Why do you see me this way too..."

At this moment, Xia Yu and Xia Chi rushed over, and seeing the two groups separated by water pillars, they grew angry. Each grabbed a leader of one side and started railing at them. Seeing those people all hanging their heads, Feng Yuan asked curiously,

"What on earth are they doing? How did it turn into such a mess?"

"Why don’t you go ask them yourself?"

Guo Huai said calmly. At that time, Feng Yuan didn’t take out the Wolf God Giant Sword, and basically none of the Maritime People and Aquatic People understood the common language of the continent, so it was impossible for Guo Huai to get any information out of them.

"Tsk!"

Feng Yuan shot a glance at Guo Huai and quickly stepped forward, pulling a dejected Cheng Yong aside. Seeing someone daring to leave, the senior Xia Yu was about to say something, but upon seeing it was Feng Yuan who pulled the person away, he gave up and continued berating the group angrily.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly feel like fighting?"

Feng Yuan asked Cheng Yong with curiosity, sneaking a glance at the senior Xia Yu. Cheng Yong moved quietly toward the distance and said,

"It’s nothing serious, they just dared to mock our Pearl Square, so we wanted to teach them a lesson."

"Mock Pearl Square?"

Feng Yuan was baffled. He didn’t understand what there was to say about this, and looking at the stopped fountain, Cheng Yong pursed his lips and said,

"Mainly it’s about the statue of the Sea God on the fountain. The senior removed it, didn’t he? They said we only now realize what the Sea God looks like and that we aren’t worthy of being called the children of the sea."

"And then you guys started arguing and were about to fight!"

Feng Yuan chuckled while looking at Cheng Yong. As for having seen Delong Tower or not, Feng Yuan didn’t see much difference—as if Delong Tower would give you a friendly face just for having seen it.

Cheng Yong chuckled and didn’t respond. Guo Huai watched the bunch in silence, thinking no wonder Senior Xia Yu was so angry; it was simply absurd to fight over such a trivial matter. Feng Yuan helplessly looked at the two furious seniors and said,

"That’s why I said it should be settled quickly. Look at them now, they’re about to fight over such a small thing. What if things escalate in the future? Honestly, I don’t think there’s any reason for those who make a living on the sea to fight. It’s not like there’s a shortage of resources in the sea."

"This..."

Reminded by Feng Yuan, Guo Huai then remembered the underlying issue. Cheng Yong hanged his head in silence, understanding the intentions of Senior Xia Yu, yet he couldn’t help himself but get caught up in the emotions.

"Can this really be eased..."

Guo Huai spoke softly while looking at the people on both sides, and Feng Yuan glanced at Cheng Yong and said,

"Hard to say, but if they become sworn enemies..."

"You’re not optimistic?"

Feng Yuan stroked Xiao Ji’s fluffy fur calmly and said,

"The situation with the Maritime People is still uncertain, but I don’t think their civilian life is all that great."

"As for the Aquatic People..."

Feng Yuan sighed and gazed toward Nanyu City,

"You haven’t forgotten the Nanyu Kingdom, right? The battle that just took place."

"Speaking of which, I think Nanyu Kingdom could have held out completely, why did they withdraw so soon?"

"Just with our few people here, we could stop them..."

Guo Huai’s voice faded as he noticed the smile on Feng Yuan’s face. Then, the voice of Liu Wenli rose from behind them,

"Because that was the Multi-Nation Allied Forces. At such a time, no one would send out their main force, but Nanyu Kingdom?

"To withdraw, they went all-out, and even with our involvement, it was still a forced retreat."

"Was the sacrifice great?"

Feng Yuan spoke softly, and Liu Wenli glanced at Wei Dingwu and nodded,

"Quite a lot. They lost many generals loyal to Nanyu, after all..."
