Chapter 685: Chapter 786 Break Time_1

"Strange, why didn’t they talk to you about something?"

On the way to the dining hall, Qi Xiaoshuang asked with some confusion. She thought those working in the breeding house would have something to say to Feng Yuan. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, puzzled, and asked

"Speaking of which, what exactly happened during the second round of assessment? Why did they give you an egg?"

"That? That’s the hero’s egg afterward; there was just a little accident. Anyway, it needed to be treated, and it even saved me some time on the assessment, didn’t it?"

Feng Yuan shrugged, unconcerned, while a reporter eavesdropping nearby silently tore up the draft of the news story in his hands. They were not so clueless; they knew better than to say anything about this sort of thing, preferring to wait for the official media reports.

Qi Chen immediately grasped what Feng Yuan was referring to and looked at him in surprise, saying,

"How could they be so careless?"

"Don’t know, but it’s also hard to say. Accidents can happen anywhere, who knows what exactly occurred."

Although Feng Yuan said so, after knowing that the Spirit Beast inside the egg was Fatty Coo, he had already guessed what might have happened.

"That’s really..."

Qi Chen was somewhat dissatisfied but didn’t say much more. Qi Xiaoshuang, still confused, asked,

"What are you guys talking in riddles about?"

There were some things Qi Chen’s father hadn’t told Qi Xiaoshuang, and as these matters were not something she could involve herself in, Qi Xiaoshuang could not guess the truth based on the information she had.

"Do you like this?"

Feng Yuan handed a tiny fish to Xiao Ji on his head, while Little Green Snake, eating something, gazed at Pomiti out of the corner of her eye. At that moment, Liao Yu and others happened to be patrolling by and, seeing Feng Yuan and his friends eating merrily, said enviously,

"I’m so envious of you guys, having such a long holiday."

"Tch, you must have forgotten that I hung out with you guys too. Even though there’s a lot of overtime on regular days, couldn’t you still take a leave when needed?"

Feng Yuan curled his lips disdainfully, but noticing Huo Feng’s mood was a bit off, he asked with some curiosity,

"Did you run into some issue?"

"No, why do you ask?"

Liao Yu scratched his head, puzzled by Feng Yuan’s question. Although they had been busy recently, they hadn’t encountered anything particularly bad. Liao Yu, somewhat worried, asked,

"Did you notice something?"

"No, I’ve just come back; how could I have noticed anything?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Huo Feng and didn’t say much more. Liao Yu, still puzzled, looked at Feng Yuan and asked,

"Just come back? Where were you before?"

"Had some matters to attend to, if we have to classify by confidentiality level, it could probably be considered S-class secrecy..."

"Isn’t that the highest level?!"

Liao Yu was taken aback. He knew better than to inquire or even learn about matters of such confidentiality. Huo Feng glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"That’s just an analogy, right? I trust they wouldn’t assign you a task with such a level of secrecy."

"Yeah, it’s something like that."

Feng Yuan nodded in agreement. Then, Liao Yu recalled something and said to Feng Yuan,

"Right, that scholar owl called Big Cat, it’s one of your Spirit Beasts, isn’t it?"

"What about it?"

"Well..."

Liao Yu was hesitant to speak up, not understanding why he should be the one to bring up such a topic. Feng Yuan looked at Liao Yu and said,

"If you need its help for something, just go directly to it."

"But, you see..."

"You guys don’t have someone who wants to sign a Beast Taming Contract with it, do you?"

Feng Yuan regarded Liao Yu suspiciously. He estimated that if Liao Yu and the others wanted Big Cat’s help, it would likely not refuse; their current reluctant demeanor made him suspicious.

Huo Feng, his face stern and not saying a word, even turned his back. He loathed the foolish antics of those kids, especially when he thought about recent events that shook his beliefs.

"I’m not opposed to this kind of thing, but you must discuss it with it in advance. If it’s forced, I’m not unfamiliar with Divine Beasts, and you better weigh the consequences yourself."

Feng Yuan said calmly, knowing that if they came to ask him, it meant they were likely considering using some kind of trick. If Big Cat truly wanted to follow them, they would have no need to specifically ask Feng Yuan.

Hearing Feng Yuan’s response, Liao Yu said with a beaming smile,

"Got it, I’ll pass on the message to them."

"Running up and down is so troublesome."

After eating, the three of them returned to the department store. At this time, Feng Yuan, looking unwilling to walk any further, said. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and helplessly replied,

"Who asked you to go eat outside?"

"The food inside is both expensive and not tasty; I don’t want to be ripped off!"

Feng Yuan immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, and Qi Chen looked around before asking,

"Do you need to buy anything else?"

"Let me think..."

After recalling for a moment, Feng Yuan listed off a long string of store names. Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan with disbelief, not expecting him to want to visit so many places.

"What are you planning to do? Why are you running to so many stores?"

Qi Xiaoshuang asked, somewhat baffled. Touring all those stores might as well take until evening. Feng Yuan, lightly patting Xiao Ji on the head, said,

"Of course, I’m preparing some stuff for Xiao Ji."

"And there are some other things to purchase."

Glancing at Agunas, Feng Yuan mentioned, to which Qi Xiaoshuang sighed and said,

"Really, then let’s hurry up. With so many stores to visit, it’s going to take a long time."

"Students who want to apply for the Beast Taming Academy after class, please remember to sign up with me. Although in principle, you can skip most of the classes, I still hope you won’t take this as a chance to slack off. You should attend the classes that..."

Listening to Teacher Mu continuously mentioning the precautions from the podium, Feng Yuan, lying down below, yawned with a drowsy look. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said with some resignation,

"So why did you stay up late last night?"

"Hehe—just couldn’t resist, you know—"

"Speaking of which, are you going to sign up later?"

Qi Chen curiously probed Feng Yuan, who, after thinking for a bit, said,

"Forget it, if there’s really something, I’ll just take a leave of absence."

"Why?"

Qi Chen was somewhat puzzled. Since everyone’s training schedule is different, the school doesn’t mandate that students who sign up must attend classes at specific times. As long as they can pass the graduation exam, it’s fine. For someone like Feng Yuan who has commitments, it’s the perfect arrangement.

"I’m afraid that after signing up, I’ll get lazy and just disappear until the end of the term."

Feng Yuan yawned as he spoke, not doubting his ability to get leave approved. Considering Feng Yuan’s usual performance, Qi Chen somewhat surprisingly said,

"Didn’t expect you to value studying that much?"

"Not really, it’s just... I don’t want to..."

Looking at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen didn’t say much more. Feng Yuan, lying on the desk and looking at Qi Chen, asked,

"What about you? Are you planning to sign up?"

"Yeah, Ah Mu’s training still requires a lot of time. After all, getting into the academy isn’t that easy."

Qi Chen let out a sigh. Feng Yuan could casually go to any academy he wanted. Xiao Ji’s strength was evident; even without using ’Coming of the Future’ and ’Incarnation of Power,’ its advantage at the same level was still incredibly huge. He still couldn’t understand what exactly was going on with Xiao Ji.

That strength, which far surpassed what an Eggshell Chicken should be capable of, was not just incomprehensible to Qi Chen, but also to everyone else besides Divine Beasts. Although they suspected that Feng Yuan might have used something special, no one knew what he had actually done.

Although Ah Mu was not weak in strength and potential with the support of Feng Yuan’s potions, it was still slightly insufficient for the academy exams. After all, no one knows how many talents will appear in the exam.

The academy’s enrollment spots are limited every year, and the exams in the last two years haven’t had a shortage of applicants. Therefore, Qi Chen could only try his best to achieve higher scores.

"Need any help?"

Feng Yuan said drowsily with his eyes closed. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan, who clearly wanted to fall asleep, and said,

"No, thanks."

"Aren’t you signing up?"

Zhong Liuyan pulled Feng Yuan, who was about to leave, asking with confusion. Feng Yuan smiled and replied,

"No need. Did you guys sign up?"

"Yeah...we’ve pretty much covered all the cultural subjects already. It’s just that Xiao Bai’s strength is still a bit lacking."

Glancing at the White Ape Warrior following Zhong Liuyan, Feng Yuan said with some surprise,

"Strength lacking?"

"Yeah."
