Chapter 720: Chapter 721 Outing_1

"Your lunch."

Having placed the fast-food box on the table, Qi Chen remembered something and said,

"Better not make a mess everywhere."

"Got it."

Having reverted to his original form, Feng Yuan picked up the lunch box and cheerfully replied. Seeing Qi Chen turn to leave, Feng Yuan asked with some confusion,

"Where are you heading?"

"To the battle arena for practice. After all, there isn’t much time left, is there?"

Qi Chen said without looking back; he figured that since he didn’t need a lunch break, it would be better to make use of this time for more practice. Ah Mu was not like Xiao Ji; he didn’t have such aberrant abilities, and to pass the academy exam would definitely require extra effort.

"Aren’t you going to notify Captain Yang?"

Seeing Feng Yuan place the fast-food box down, and the small white wolf shadow that appeared out of thin air on his finger, Agunas asked somewhat puzzledly. Feng Yuan shook his head after glancing at Agunas and said,

"No need. This isn’t something they can handle."

"But, they are humans too, right?"

"Without evidence, they can’t arrest anyone. If it’s about stakeouts..."

Remembering something, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"It’s better to leave it to Lorraine Tower. However, we must hurry things up with Odinis. It’s not a solution to keep dragging on like this."

"That area has already been completely sealed off; we can only wait for It to slowly take back Odinis."

Agunas explained. Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"Nothing unexpected will happen, right?"

"It shouldn’t. The place with the strongest defense in the whole world is right there. If breached, I’m afraid we can only count on you for help."

Agunas said with some helplessness in his voice, and, smiling, Feng Yuan replied,

"I’m flattered by your compliment."

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas flicked his tail and said,

"You really are..."

"Come on, don’t you trust Agunas that much?"

Patting Xiao Ji on the head, Feng Yuan said with a smile. The other, a bit worried, looked at Feng Yuan before turning to enter the battle arena for practice. Seeing Little Green Snake patrolling around, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly,

"Haven’t you tried to persuade Little Green Snake?"

"I did, but it’s no use."

Agunas spoke calmly. Little Green Snake wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary, only scouting the surroundings for hidden people. As for training? It wasn’t of much use to Little Green Snake, which had already mastered controlling its current power perfectly. Further training would only serve to enhance its mastery over its ultimate moves.

"What do you say, should we offer it that choice...?"

Watching Little Green Snake patrol around, Feng Yuan asked softly. Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Is there any point?"

"Why wouldn’t there be?"

"Divine Beasts are each a unique existence. To it, does being a Divine Beast really matter?"

Smiling, Feng Yuan said,

"Xiao Ji has misled you. In fact, if Xiao Ji hadn’t extensively leveraged the authority’s power to modify its form, Eggshell Chicken’s evolutionary state could have been different."

"Are you saying..."

"If it were up to it, it should find that kind of possibility it desires through the chance of an infinite redo, right?"

"But..."

Staring at Little Green Snake’s silhouette, Agunas said softly,

"How many trials must it go through before that possibility becomes reality? And besides..."

"That’s why I’m hesitant..."

"If it fails, I am confident I can save it, but if it takes this path..."

"It’s not just that, right? It seems you haven’t seriously considered it before, but now..."

Agunas eyed Feng Yuan suspiciously. Smiling, Feng Yuan replied,

"You really do see right through."

Gazing out at the sky through the giant windows along the wall, Feng Yuan said somewhat absently,

"Because It has too few helpers, and since It doesn’t want to increase the number carelessly, I can only think of solutions for It—"

"Are you sure It won’t object?"

"No, It won’t object. It’s just too cautious."

Listening to Feng Yuan’s words, Agunas rolled its eyes; it had no grounds to argue. After all, it probably didn’t understand It as well as he did.

"So, I’m leaving this matter in your hands?"

"Leaving what to me?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with confusion, gesturing towards the Little Green Snake, Feng Yuan whispered,

"About that choice."

"Wouldn’t it be better if you said it yourself?"

"But... I still..."

"You think dumping it on me means you’re off the hook?"

Agunas said irritably, scratching his head, while Feng Yuan replied with a radiant smile,

"I just haven’t thought it out yet..."

"Alright, I’ll probe a bit first. Anyway, whether I ask it or not is up to me, right?"

Agunas said helplessly, staring at Feng Yuan who was adding to his workload every day, and Feng Yuan nodded with a smile in agreement.

"Why have you come here?"

Noticing Feng Yuan’s arrival, Teacher Yan spoke nervously, checking the surroundings while Feng Yuan just smiled and said,

"Well, Xiao Ji needs training, right?"

"We just had that incident and you..."

"It’s safe at the dormitory? Anyway, Agunas is with me, I don’t believe they can get to us."

Feng Yuan said nonchalantly, Teacher Yan glanced at Agunas and bit back his words. Indeed, as he had said, if people from the Divine Beast Hall came again, it wouldn’t make much difference whether he was hiding in the dormitory or not.

"Be careful recently. We will also help keep an eye on the surroundings for you."

Teacher Yan said helplessly. Although he was a teacher by title, in terms of strength, he was not as strong as Feng Yuan with Divine Beasts by his side. Even if people from the Divine Beast Hall came again, they might not be able to detect them.

Recalling that Captain Chen mentioned Feng Yuan had refused the request to have special forces protect him secretly, Teacher Yan shook his head with resignation. He didn’t quite understand what Feng Yuan was thinking. If it hadn’t been for that middle-aged man’s sudden intervention, the people from the Divine Beast Hall would have probably succeeded earlier.

Due to Lorraine Tower’s special identity, aside from a few people, not many knew the true identity of that middle-aged man. They just wondered who he was and why he would come to Feng Yuan’s aid.

"Do you want to go to Clock Town this weekend?"

On Friday night, Feng Yuan suggested this to Qi Chen, who glanced at Feng Yuan and said with disbelief,

"Are you looking for more trouble? At this time, going to Clock Town? That place is not safe."

"Are you planning something else?"

Dou Yanlan, who came to see Qi Chen, eyed Feng Yuan suspiciously and with a smile, Feng Yuan said,

"No, it’s just that Clock Town is not often in this world, I’d feel like I’m missing out if we don’t go visit."

"Not to mention that Clock Town is on the border and just the travel time back and forth takes more than two days. Don’t you think your presence there would provoke certain sensitive folk?"

Dou Yanlan asked slowly, surveying Feng Yuan. She didn’t believe he just wanted to go for a stroll. Chuckling, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"Well... didn’t you hear that the fighting there isn’t completely over yet?"

"You want to take action?"

"No, you can’t. If you do, the whole Divine Land Region will be thrown into chaos."

Dou Yanlan said, alert. The number of Divine Beasts backing Feng Yuan meant that if he took action, those beasts would surely get involved, and the other nations were not without the protection of Divine Beasts. If he acted, it could pull all the nations into a war and might even lead to a massive Divine Beast war that would engulf the entire Divine Land Region.

"I didn’t say I’m going to act, just..."

After some thought, Feng Yuan looked towards Agunas, who was flipping through a book. With a resigned tone, Agunas said,

"If you want to go, just go. But you can’t use your human form to get there, and I will conceal my presence. Xiao Ji also can’t go in its current form. In short, you can’t let anyone know you are there."

"If you do act, you’re not allowed to seek help from Lorraine Tower and its likes, don’t turn that area into a mess."

Hearing Agunas’s conditions, Feng Yuan nodded continuously while Dou Yanlan looked at Agunas thoughtfully, stroking her chin as if pondering something.

"Act? I thought you were just going on a trip?"

Qi Chen had a bad feeling and barely smiled. Feng Yuan replied,

"Yeah, just going for a trip and maybe handling some things on the side."

"On the side?"

Qi Chen stared at Feng Yuan and after a moment of silence said,

"Then you better not go. Don’t get into a fight later on..."

Stealing a glance at Qi Chen, Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"You must have a reason you can’t refuse to go, right?"

"Well..."

Feng Yuan hesitated and looked at Dou Yanlan, whose eyes hinted that she had guessed something. His gaze darting around, Feng Yuan said with some guilt,

"Well, you see..."
