Chapter 713: Chapter 714 Drudgeon’s Demand_1

"You... can’t walk by yourself?"

Qi Chen said helplessly as he looked at the Little Husky hanging behind Xiao Ji. Somehow, the Little Husky was lying on the ground, swaying back and forth as Xiao Ji moved forward on the ground.

Glancing at Qi Chen, the Little Husky yawned and said,

"I’m just really sleepy..."

"Then you shouldn’t be like this."

"Where’s Feng Yuan? Didn’t he come? Is Xiao Ji practicing alone again?"

Chen Xin asked, somewhat puzzled, as he stood at the entrance to the training field. Qi Chen looked at Chen Xin strangely and said,

"Aren’t you going in?"

Chen Xin smiled as he looked at Yue Bai at his feet and said,

"No, the atmosphere inside is too heated."

"Weren’t you one of them before?"

The Little Husky asked in confusion. Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Xin looked around puzzled and said,

"Feng Yuan is here too? Is he... invisible?"

"He’s not invisible; he’s hanging on Xiao Ji’s back."

Qi Chen, exasperated, pointed at the Little Husky hanging on Xiao Ji’s back like an ornament. Glancing at Qi Chen, the Little Husky said discontentedly,

"Xiao Ji sat on my head for so long before, what’s the problem with me hanging on its back for a bit?"

"Do you really have to compete with it..."

"Is this... a transformation?"

Chen Xin said in disbelief as he looked at the Little Husky on Xiao Ji’s back. Yawning, the Little Husky said,

"What else? Xiao Ji is still too small in size. It can’t support a human form."

"Don’t mind him; he’ll calm down after his little frenzy."

Qi Chen said irritably as he glanced at Feng Yuan. Chen Xin laughed and said,

"He really is... carefree～"

In the training field, the students were fervently training their Beast Tamers. Seeing their earnest expressions, the Little Husky pursed its lips and said,

"Tch, they look so full of hope..."

"Always looking at the pot while eating from the bowl."

Qi Chen said as he glanced at the Little Husky lying on the ground,

"What do you mean?"

As Xiao Ji warmed up its body, the Little Husky flicked its tail and said,

"They are hoping that Drudgeon will take notice of them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be working this hard on any regular day, right?"

"That’s quite..."

"Impossible, isn’t it?"

The Little Husky rolled its eyes and said,

"Drudgeon’s criteria for choosing a Divine Pact Maker are calmness and scholarly depth. Age isn’t a factor, but it’s not something students from our school can satisfy."

"If that’s the case... then..."

"The guys at the research institute won’t make it either. It’s difficult for them to engage in a conversation with Drudgeon, and that’s why they didn’t come over."

"By the way, Xiao Ji should be able to learn a special skill from Drudgeon today, right?"

"Of course, but I don’t know whether it will choose Wind or Death."

Lying on the ground, the Little Husky said curiously, while Agunas flipped through a book in his hand and said,

"Learn both, and it might even want to learn a Fire Attribute special skill."

"Really... Since it’s so fond of fire, why did it choose this in the first place..."

Wagging its tail vigorously, the Little Husky said, puzzled, but the answer to this question was known only to Xiao Ji. Even Agunas was unaware of the reason.

At that moment, hearing a whining sound, the Little Husky’s ears twitched and it said,

"Has Big Cat come back?"

"How would we know about your Spirit Beast."

Without even lifting his head, Agunas spoke, and soon Big Cat appeared in front of everyone, swaying along. Little Husky happily jumped onto Big Cat, transforming into an ornament on its back, and said

"Big Cat, you’re done with your tasks~"

Big Cat wooed joyfully, seemingly thrilled to see Feng Yuan. Dou Yanlan came over and asked,

"Is it true that Drudgeon won’t take interest in them?"

"There’s no way around it. Divine Beasts that govern lost knowledge aren’t so whimsical. At least, they don’t meet the criteria."

Dou Yanlan smiled slightly and said,

"Isn’t the most important reason that they lack the ability to restrain their curiosity about the unknown?"

"Eh?"

"It’s not really knowledge that’s the most important, right? That’s just to have something in common to chat about with Drudgeon. The ability to restrain one’s curiosity about forbidden knowledge is what’s truly crucial."

"After all, we’re talking about a Divine Beast that possesses lost knowledge, aren’t we?"

Dou Yanlan smiled with a finger pressed to her lips and one eye closed, which made Qi Chen blush and awkwardly turn away. Little Husky paused for a moment and said,

"That’s just your guess, actually..."

"Actually, you’re right. While having a buddy to chat with is fun, if you can’t control your curiosity, you might end up dying a premature death."

Drudgeon had appeared behind everyone at some point, and as Dou Yanlan met its gaze, she shook her head with a smile and said,

"Although I know this, I can’t fully contain my curiosity, sorry."

"No matter."

Drudgeon spoke calmly, while Qi Chen scratched his head, unclear about what was happening. At that moment, some students noticed Drudgeon had suddenly appeared. They didn’t make a fuss but instead became even more diligent, as if this might curry favor with Drudgeon.

Drudgeon merely glanced around and understood what was going on but paid it no mind. Looking at Little Husky lying on Big Cat’s head, Drudgeon said,

"Tell Xiao Ji that I’ll teach it privately after the public lesson is over."

"Sure~"

Little Husky spoke lazily, tail wagging, while Qi Chen rubbed Little Husky’s head fiercely and said,

"You speak properly!"

Having just managed to break free from Qi Chen’s grip, Little Husky glanced at him irritably, then, under his threatening stare, thanked Drudgeon. Glancing at Qi Chen, Drudgeon said,

"As long as he has no objections, it would be best for you to pay more attention to his words and actions."

Saying this, Drudgeon hopped off to find Teacher Yan. Though it could make everyone obey, why not use the help that was available?

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and calmly asked,

"Are you upset?"

Yawning and curling back up on Big Cat’s head, Little Husky mumbled,

"Upset about what? He meant no harm."

"Huh~ Big Cat is pretty comfortable to sleep on~"

Watching Little Husky drift off to sleep, Qi Chen felt somewhat helpless, talked with Dou Yanlan for a while longer, and then they parted ways. Big Cat followed Xiao Ji to the Wind Attribute skill area. Although Xiao Ji was interested in learning fire attribute skills, since its evolved form didn’t possess that attribute, it had no choice but to give up.

Feng Yuan’s classmates found it strange to see the scholarly owl he was raising perched there with an odd little dog on top, but they didn’t think much of it, figuring it was just a Spirit Beast Feng Yuan had picked up.

Still, there was some disappointment at not seeing Feng Yuan himself, especially since they had planned to invite him for a meal, yet he was nowhere to be found.

After Drudgeon’s teaching session ended, everyone was surprised to see it didn’t leave immediately. Those harboring little schemes felt their hearts race, only to be quickly overwhelmed by disappointment.

Xiao Ji looked at Drudgeon with some confusion, to which Drudgeon said as it looked back,

"Come with me, I’ll teach you skills that suit you."

Drudgeon glanced at Little Husky, who was sound asleep, not quite understanding why it was so exhausted.

Xiao Ji happily followed behind Drudgeon. Seeing that Drudgeon was giving special attention, others felt envious and said,

"Whose Spirit Beast is that? It’s so lucky."

"Could it be that Drudgeon is considering choosing its owner as its Divine Pact Maker?"

"No way, right? If that were true, how is it they didn’t even show up or give any sign? Drudgeon was invited by him, shouldn’t he at least thank him?"

"Who knows? Maybe they think if they don’t say anything, Feng Yuan won’t find out?"

Those people guessed maliciously, as Xiao Ji had just evolved, and almost no one could recognize the black-purple feathered eagle as Feng Yuan’s Xiao Ji. They simply assumed it was someone else’s Beast Tamer.

Despite their jealousy, no one dared to confront the matter. And eavesdropping on Drudgeon’s teachings? It seemed Drudgeon had used a skill similar to Mind Transmission, which made it very difficult to learn anything without hearing any sound, so it was far better to practice the skills that Drudgeon had just taught.
