Chapter 706: Chapter 707 Busy_1

"That’s really good news~ Truly befitting of a Divine Beast~"

In the break room, upon learning that most of the backlog of cases had been dealt with, the special operations team members couldn’t help but cheer, though some of them sullenly complained with a dark face,

"It’s really... why can’t they help till the end..."

"Cut it out! It’s already great that they could help up to this point, okay? We can’t expect them to do everything, can we?"

"Easy for you to say when you’re not the one writing the reports!"

The person couldn’t help but yell at the one who had spoken up, and without waiting for a rebuttal, continued to shout,

"So many reports to write! And there are cases to wrap up! With so much coming in at once, I can’t keep up!"

"I will have people work with you on them, and if I hear complaints like this again, don’t blame me for being inhospitable."

"Captain Yan?!"

Seeing Captain Yan standing at the door with a cold face, no one dared to make a sound. At this moment, the special operations team’s office, responsible for the final wrap-ups, was bustling with activity. Lorraine Tower and the others were more direct than Feng Yuan, not only dealing with clues and evidence, but even bringing back people. If the office and the spare rooms weren’t so plentiful, they probably couldn’t have accommodated so many people and items.

After their initial cheering, all of the special operations team members held their breath, determined to wrap up and resolve the cases, clues, and evidence brought back by Lorraine Tower and its companions as quickly as possible. After all, the sooner they finished, the more they could rest, right?

"Because of the special circumstances, we can’t invite you to dine at those big restaurants, and we are truly sorry."

In a private room of the Night Star Restaurant, Ye Hanlei apologized to Lorraine Tower and its companions. Ordinary people might not recognize them, but there are quite a few top-tier Beastmasters in big restaurants. It’s risky they would notice the special nature of Lorraine Tower and company.

The Night Star Restaurant was different, however—the owner could keep their secrets, and this place was unlikely to have very strong Beastmasters. Thus, the chances of being discovered were not high.

"It doesn’t matter, I’m not particularly concerned about the deliciousness of the food,"

Lorraine Tower said calmly with a teacup in hand. Although Ye Hanlei had the boss bring out his treasured liquor, it seemed that Lorraine Tower and its companions were not very interested.

"You don’t like drinking?"

Liao Yu carefully asked, aware that he was in the presence of three top-tier Divine Beasts. He feared that any carelessness might provoke them and cause trouble.

"It’s not that, just a lack of interest. Wine or tea, there is no difference to me,"

Lorraine Tower stated calmly, and Gitalien glanced at Lorraine Tower before saying,

"Tch! You’re just afraid of getting drunk and making a fool of yourself."

After looking at Gitalien, Lorraine Tower didn’t say much. After all, there would be plenty of time to ’teach’ Gitalien some manners when they got back.

"Then why don’t you drink?"

Feng Yuan put down his teacup with a smirk, and after a moment of surprise, Gitalien said somewhat sheepishly,

"I can’t get used to that stuff..."

"I’ve known why ever since you drank the ’Star Ocean Ceremony’...

"Don’t say it!"

Gitalien shouted loudly with a flushed face, covering Delong Tower’s mouth, while Ye Hanlei and Liao Yu broke out in cold sweat beside them. They were no Feng Yuan, their relationship with the Divine Beasts wasn’t as good, and they dared not listen to any Divine Beast ’little secrets’.

"Tch! I guessed as much."

"But the ’Star Ocean Ceremony’... seems pretty interesting, just... never mind..."

Feng Yuan said, picking up his food with a somewhat diminished interest. Delong Tower looked at Feng Yuan and asked,

"Can’t let it go?"

"If only it were that simple..."

"How did they even come to give you such a thing?"

Feng Yuan asked with some confusion, looking at Delong Tower. The ’Star Ocean Ceremony’ was a special gift from the people of the sea to Delong Tower, a particular drink that would immerse one in pleasant dreams. Even Divine Beasts found it effective, and Feng Yuan had no idea how those folks managed it.

"An accidental recipe discovery. After all, you are not unaware of the situation at the Starlit Sea,"

Delong Tower said calmly, not at all surprised at their discovery of such a thing. It’s the lack of special effects from a Mythical Era relic that would actually be surprising.

"If you want, I still have some I could give you."

"No thanks, no interest..."

Feng Yuan declined with a smile, knowing he had easier ways to achieve the effects of the ’Star Ocean Ceremony.’ Delong Tower looked at Feng Yuan but didn’t say much more, fully aware that the other didn’t need that much concern from him.

"Phew, let’s change the method next time; this way of expressing gratitude is really..."

On the way back to the school with Feng Yuan, Liao Yu took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice. Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"That was your suggestion."

"I just wasn’t thinking it through... You could have reminded me."

Liao Yu said, embarrassed. He had completely forgotten that there might be things discussed among Divine Beasts that were not suitable for them to know. Luckily, they did not take offence on account of Feng Yuan; otherwise, he would have been in trouble.

"Actually, it’s not that big of a deal. For them, whether you know or not doesn’t matter. After all, if you dared to spread the word, Lorraine Tower would definitely find out, and then..."

As Feng Yuan spoke, he glanced at Agunas beside him. When it came down to it, Agunas, responsible for the Golden Book, was even better at gathering intelligence than Lorraine Tower. Agunas, who gave Feng Yuan an annoyed look, said,

"Is there something you want?"

"No, you’ve worked hard today~"

After giving Feng Yuan a brief look, Agunas silently flipped through the book in his hands and, after a while, asked,

"When will you be able to recover?"

"I don’t know, I’m afraid not this month."

Feng Yuan felt somewhat helpless. In reality, he wasn’t completely unable to use his power; it was just that exceeding the limit had restrictions, and he didn’t want to resort to that unless necessary.

"To think I’ll have to help you for so long, really..."

After glancing at the aloof Agunas, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Thanks~"

Turning away, Agunas didn’t look at Feng Yuan, but his little tail wagged back and forth from time to time.

"Speaking of which, you guys are really efficient."

Liao Yu said with a smile. The reason why Ye Hanlei did not accompany Feng Yuan back was naturally because of the items she and Lorraine Tower had retrieved. It was good to quickly resolve those accumulated matters, but the person responsible for wrapping things up suddenly became too busy to cope, so they had to pull in other people to help.

Nevertheless, it was a relief that most of those tasks were just backlogs. After this round of clearing up, they could finally have some downtime.

"Of course, they’re Divine Beasts after all, aren’t they?"

"But it can’t always be like this, right? Although most of those cases don’t seem to pose a serious threat to public safety, if we keep doing this..."

"No choice, we’re short-staffed, and we can’t just arbitrarily add people."

Liao Yu said helplessly. Actually, their situation wasn’t too bad; it was just that the commotion caused by Feng Yuan lately was a bit bigger than usual. Other times there weren’t any major problems. As he understood it, metropolises like Shangjing and Shenhua were truly overwhelmed. Not only did they have to push many cases back to the local police, but even the Special Investigation Bureau had to step in to help alleviate the pressure.

Luckily, G Organization hadn’t made any significant moves as if they were planning something, but there weren’t any major actions—otherwise, it really would be troublesome.

"Can’t you seek help from Spirit Beasts? Like the Big Mushroom? You might not find Drudgeon, but you should have contact with Big Mushroom, right?"

Feng Yuan asked, somewhat surprised. Liao Yu thought for a moment and said,

"Most of our work still requires humans to handle. Relying on them alone..."

"True."

Feng Yuan sighed and looked out of the window, clearly understanding the impracticality of the idea.

"I thought you wouldn’t be back until tomorrow."

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen in the dormitory with surprise. Qi Chen, closing the book in his hands, looked back at Feng Yuan with some confusion and said,

"Where have you been? You’re back so late."

"I was helping Xiao Shuang with the registration of the White Shadow Wolf and took the chance to help the Special Task Force with some matters."

"There won’t be any problems with the White Shadow Wolf, right?"

Qi Chen asked worriedly. Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and said,

"What could go wrong? It won’t hurt people at random, so relax."

"Thank you."

"But it’s strange, I thought you’d spend a romantic evening with Dou Yanlan, didn’t you?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said,

"What are you babbling about? Yanlan was busy taking care of her mother at the hospital today. Where would there be any time for a romantic evening? Your mind is full of nonsense."

"Hehe~"

"Speaking of which, I have something I want to ask you."

Qi Chen, looking serious, stared at Feng Yuan and said in a low voice.
