Chapter 678: Chapter 679 Casual Talk_1

"Big Cat... it really misses you, and it’s quite famous now,"

"If it weren’t for you, it might even have a position by now."

After thinking for a moment, Qi Chen said, and Feng Yuan replied with some surprise,

"Famous?"

"Yeah, as one of the few Spirit Beasts that can extensively utilize the Data Domain, not only are those companies from Great Xia paying attention to it, but after Agunas warned them, they’ve had to hold back,"

"Thanks a lot~"

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan, flicked his tail, and turned his head to say,

"Why thank me? I quite like that silly guy too, and now it’s working with the Great Xia military, those people wouldn’t dare mess with it."

After all, Big Cat wasn’t Feng Yuan’s Beast Tamer pet, it was just a Spirit Beast contract which both parties could terminate at any time, it was much less intimate compared to a Beast Tamer contract. Beast Tamer contracts were like family, while Spirit Beast contracts were like friends. It was precisely for this reason that Big Cat was harassed by those people.

"Military cooperation? Are they planning to use the Data Domain for training?"

"Seems like it, but it’s not much of your concern, is it?"

"Do you think that I’m..."

"Stop overthinking it, both sides can end a Spirit Beast contract, and since Big Cat hasn’t chosen to leave, it certainly has its reasons."

Agunas said calmly, turning his back to Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan smiled without bringing it up again and stuffed a jade carving resembling Agunas into his arms, saying with a smile,

"I almost forgot, your gift~"

"Is it really okay with such a big change?"

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan with some concern. Just listening to Feng Yuan’s description made her realize how much history could change. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said,

"It’s all right, as long as an upset doesn’t happen, the process isn’t important."

"I didn’t expect to see you here?"

Hearing the voice, Feng Yuan turned his head to see Najia waving at him from Yang Hongzhi’s shoulder. Glancing at Yang Hongzhi, Feng Yuan said with some confusion,

"How come you’re here? I don’t recall you being someone particularly fond of studying~"

Yang Hongzhi said with an awkward smile,

"Well, you can’t say that; after all, I did get into Maomu Academy, didn’t I?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Researching materials. The academy decided to let me try for a spot in the Beast Tamer competition. Training alone..."

"Know thyself, know thy enemy?"

Feng Yuan said, to which Yang Hongzhi nodded and replied,

"Something like that, mainly looking for any little tricks."

"Understanding more about specific Spirit Beasts can’t hurt you guys,"

Dou Yanlan suggested meaningfully. Qi Chen scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and Yang Hongzhi chuckled,

"Our team teacher said the same thing, only by fully understanding our partners can we come up with unexpected tactics in battle."

"Like Najia’s Lady Luck?"

"What’s that?"

Yang Hongzhi looked at Feng Yuan with confusion. Najia, seemingly reminded of something exciting, tugged at Yang Hongzhi’s hair with a slight smile, and Feng Yuan explained,

"It’s Najia’s special move, Lucky Melody. It can directly interfere with probability, significantly amplifying the chances of events favorable to us and diminishing those unfavorable."

"That requires..."

"You need probability-based moves for that, right?"

Scratching his head, Yang Hongzhi said glowingly. Neither Xiao Hui nor Xiao Hei seemed to have such abilities. Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"Not necessarily. It’s actually the perfect counter if the opponent is using a weakening strategy."

"This..."

Realizing what Feng Yuan meant, Yang Hongzhi then remembered there were many teams that specialized in using bizarre state-based moves to slowly drain their opponents’ stamina, and almost every team would pair up with one or two Spirit Beasts adept at negating negative states.

However, those Spirit Beasts typically were not the best at survival. If Najia had this ability, facing those teams wouldn’t be so troublesome — after all, even the most fragile support-type Spirit Beasts couldn’t be too weak at the Divine Beast level.

Patting Yang Hongzhi’s shoulder, Feng Yuan advised,

"Najia is a support-type Spirit Beast. Although it has strong offensive abilities in its Yagina form, it’s best not to rely on that."

Yang Hongzhi nodded, for he clearly understood what Najia had been through after experiencing the events in Noscarte City. He naturally wouldn’t make Najia use a form that could remind her of sad memories.

"Woo~ My lovely winter vacation just disappeared like that, I’m so heartbroken."

Standing at Qi Chen’s doorstep, Feng Yuan howled in distress while Qi Chen glanced at him and said,

"You could take a semester off."

"No way!"

Feng Yuan stated decisively, Agunas looked at him and asked,

"Speaking of which, what do you plan to do about that situation?"

"What else can I do? Just let them handle it. I can’t get involved in a war that big, or rather, I shouldn’t get involved."

Feng Yuan said helplessly. Qi Chen looked at him without saying anything; this was not an issue he could advise Feng Yuan on, as he himself didn’t understand it.

"Brother! Where did you run off to? It took you so long to come back!"

"Eh?!"

Seeing Feng Yuan following behind Qi Chen, Qi Xiaoshuang was taken aback. Feng Yuan poked his head out from behind Qi Chen and said,

"Xiao Shuang, you’re back too?"

"What do you mean ’I’m back too’..."

Qi Xiaoshuang muttered under her breath with a pout, then, looking dissatisfied, she spoke to Qi Chen,

"Brother! It’s just like you to not say a word when he arrives. Now Mom hasn’t prepared his meal, what are we going to do?"

Qi Chen glanced at Qi Xiaoshuang and said with annoyance,

"Quit it, I already told Mom that Feng Yuan was coming."

"Eh?!"

On reflection, Qi Xiaoshuang felt somewhat disappointed. Qi Chen sighed wearily, knowing full well why Qi Xiaoshuang had made such a comment just then. Feng Yuan asked with some confusion,

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing."

Qi Chen shook his head calmly and replied, but Feng Yuan noticed the concern hidden in Qi Chen’s eyes. At that moment, Qi Chen’s mother, hearing the noise, called out loudly from the kitchen,

"Ah Chen, you’re back? Dinner will be ready soon. Don’t snack too much."

"Got it!"

Qi Chen responded helplessly, while Feng Yuan covered his mouth to stifle a chuckle and took out a jade carving to give to Qi Xiaoshuang, saying,

"This is for you."

Looking at the jade carving of herself standing with the White Wolf Deity, Qi Xiaoshuang exclaimed with delight,

"Thank you~"

"This is a night light~ Activate the mechanism inside with spiritual power and you’ll be able to use it."

To prevent the jade carving from glowing continuously in the dark, Feng Yuan specially instructed that a switch be left in the internal formation. Watching Qi Xiaoshuang happily hugging the jade carving and running back to her room, Feng Yuan patted Qi Chen on the shoulder and said,

"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. Don’t forget about the Wolf God’s Fang."

At Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen smiled and said,

"Thanks."

"You’ve worked hard."

Picking up Pomiti from Little Green Snake, Feng Yuan whispered, with Little Green Snake happily flicking its tail. The bead around its neck was still twinkling with little stars.

During the recent travel period, if not for Little Green Snake’s continuous care for Pomiti, Feng Yuan doubted he would have been able to enjoy himself so much, as the little scatterbrain was truly a headache to look after.

Xiao Ji hopped into Feng Yuan’s arms, seemingly unhappy with Pomiti’s monopoly on Feng Yuan’s embrace. Feng Yuan placed both Xiao Ji and Pomiti on the bed and said softly,

"Alright, stop fussing and get some rest."

In the night, Feng Yuan suddenly felt a bit cold and opened his eyes in confusion, then smiled wryly and said,

"I didn’t expect it to recover at this time."

Feng Yuan wasn’t exactly sure when the side effects would disappear, but luckily he had worn the inner gown of the Ritual Robe, anticipating that he would recover around this time. The gown could adjust to body size changes, otherwise, he might have been woken up not just by the cold.

"Sorry, sorry."

Seeing Xiao Ji and Pomiti squeezed out of the blankets by himself, Feng Yuan apologized awkwardly. Because he had shrunk before, he had taken a smaller blanket, which now that he was back to his regular size, had ousted Xiao Ji and Pomiti from under it.

"Eh? Big Cat, you’re back too?"

While apologizing, Feng Yuan was thinking about where to get a blanket; Qi Chen was already asleep at this time, and all his blankets were in Qi Chen’s room, which didn’t seem right to enter now. But as he turned around, Feng Yuan found Big Cat standing there, staring at him in bewilderment.
