Chapter 727: Chapter 728 Surprise?_1

"Here you go."

Feng Yuan, utterly confused, took the chocolate milk tea from Qi Xiaoshuang without understanding her intentions. Turning to him, Qi Xiaoshuang said somewhat sheepishly,

"My brother told me everything. Thank you, and thank Agunas as well."

"Oh, that thing~"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan chuckled sheepishly, while the White Shadow Wolf beside him was digging at the ground somewhat impatiently. After all, the milk tea shop where Qi Xiaoshuang had just bought the chocolate milk tea was so crowded that just queuing took a long time. The curious White Shadow Wolf, forced to wait in the same spot, had already grown impatient.

"Let’s go, but they said there’s some kind of surprise."

Feng Yuan recalled and spoke up. Even though Qi Xiaoshuang could walk around Maomu City on her own with the White Shadow Wolf following her, even during such times, she wouldn’t encounter any danger. Nevertheless, she made an early appointment to go to the Breeding House with Feng Yuan.

The surprise was mentioned by the staff at the Breeding House, who seemed to know that Feng Yuan was planning not to go and specifically called to tell him there was a special surprise today, asking him to definitely come by.

"A surprise?"

Qi Xiaoshuang was somewhat astonished. The Breeding House staff, no matter how grateful they were to Feng Yuan, couldn’t possibly have anything special to give, since essentially all of the Breeding House’s resources came from the Alliance. Hence, their allocation was strictly controlled, and even the person in charge couldn’t easily purchase rare materials from there.

As for ordinary things? Those wouldn’t count as a surprise by any means. Feng Yuan, scratching his head, said,

"Yeah, at least that’s what the person on the phone said, and it sounded like there was excitement in their voice."

"Why not just go there and see for yourself?"

Neither Qi Xiaoshuang nor Feng Yuan were actually very interested in the Breeder profession; they saw the Breeding House more as a place to experience a different sort of life. Therefore, they didn’t go to the Breeding House early as they had agreed.

"Are you saying that Fatty Coo is going to hatch today?"

Having arrived at the Breeding House, Feng Yuan quickly found out what the surprise was. He looked at the Spirit Beast Egg of Fatty Coo in surprise, sensed it carefully, and said,

"You specifically called me over because you’re worried there might be some problem, right?"

The staff member on the other side, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched his head. They did indeed have that thought, as they were more skilled in training. They were familiar with the care of Spirit Beast Eggs, but they couldn’t accurately assess the situation at a glance as Feng Yuan did.

In fact, there were very few people who could do this, perhaps only Guo Huai, who relied on the system, could be compared with Feng Yuan. Observing the egg again through the glass window, Feng Yuan said,

"Can I go in to have a closer look? I’m not quite sure if there are any problems from this distance."

Qi Xiaoshuang, while playing with the White Shadow Wolf, said in surprise,

"Could there be a problem?"

"It’s too soon. Originally, by my estimate, it would have taken at least a month to fully recover from the damage, but now it’s only been..."

"Anyway, it needs a careful check."

Feng Yuan said, looking helpless. The hatching time of a Spirit Beast Egg is hard to control, especially since Fatty Coo’s egg had been damaged. Agunas, closing the book in his hands and looking at the carefully maintained egg, said,

"Do you need my help? Perhaps by using the power of the Golden Book, we could gain more time."

The hatching of a Spirit Beast Egg could be considered a special evolution. Therefore, some injuries could be healed while in the egg, but it would be more difficult to completely heal after hatching. Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"No need, and besides, if we use the power of the Golden Book, its attributes might change completely. The energy of that thing is of a very high tier, and other Spirit Beasts aside from you would be influenced."

"That is a problem..."

Agunas said, looking rather helpless. Feng Yuan was right. The energy itself was from a higher tier, and combined with a high level of energy, using it on the egg might result in a Fatty Coo with time attributes, which wouldn’t be surprising but wasn’t ideal either.

A too unique existence wouldn’t be well-received by other companions. Even if this Fatty Coo had a rather special status, being too unique wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Agunas hadn’t forgotten the existence of those from the G Organization.

Unless someone could directly make it their Beast Tamer’s Spirit Beast, then there wouldn’t be any problems, but...

"Alright, I’ll take a look first. If it really doesn’t work, we can consider other options."

Feng Yuan, amused by Agunas’ conflicted look, said. In fact, he suspected it might not be so troublesome. As the staff member opened the door, Feng Yuan gently placed his hand on the egg of Fatty Coo, closed his eyes to sense carefully, and after a while, slowly opened his eyes and said,

"It’s not a big issue; it’s essentially fully recovered."

"Essentially?!"

The staff member was startled, smiled, and said to Feng Yuan,

"That’s right, incubation won’t be greatly affected. Although delaying the incubation time could improve potential and repair the remaining hidden injuries, the possible side effects basically cancel out the benefits."

"So what do you plan to do?"

"That... Are you sure it’s okay?"

The staff member said somewhat conflicted. If possible, he would prefer to let it hatch after full recovery, but Feng Yuan said that delaying was not very meaningful, which made him hesitate.

"Alright, it’s not up to you to decide, report it quickly."

Feng Yuan said, looking at the staff member speechlessly. After he had finished, Feng Yuan turned to leave to find Qi Xiaoshuang. It wasn’t until Feng Yuan left the incubation room that the staff member realized and hurriedly took his leave.

"Are you alright?"

Qi Xiaoshuang, who was attending to the Spirit Beasts in the breeding house, asked Feng Yuan with some concern when she saw him coming over. He shook his head smilingly and said,

"It’s not a big issue, the remaining injuries can be healed after hatching, but like this..."

Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Bai the White Shadow Wolf, who was acting aggrieved beside Qi Xiaoshuang. Following Feng Yuan’s gaze, Qi Xiaoshuang, looking into Xiao Bai’s pitiful eyes, laughed and said,

"You just played with me, and here you come again."

"You refuse to train when told to."

As Qi Xiaoshuang spoke, she tapped Xiao Bai’s forehead, and the creature stiffly collapsed onto the ground. After a while, it rolled over, stood up, and placed its front paws on Qi Xiaoshuang’s arms, making pathetic whimpering noises.

Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly,

"How did you manage to tame such a proud Spirit Beast like the White Shadow Wolf?"

"What do you mean by ’manage to tame’?"

Qi Xiaoshuang gave Feng Yuan a sideways glance and said irritably, then pushed forward the Spirit Beast whose wound she had just cleaned and medicated, saying,

"Alright, go train."

Seeing the Spirit Beast cheerfully run off to train by itself, Feng Yuan said, somewhat surprised,

"How did you do it?"

"Most of the Spirit Beasts here are trained; it’s something they often do because there simply aren’t enough people to train them one-on-one."

"But as for you..."

Qi Xiaoshuang glanced at Xiao Ji behind Feng Yuan. Xiao Ji was curiously observing the training Spirit Beasts. Feng Yuan’s Xiao Ji was the truly amazing one—despite not being trained, it could arrange and conduct its own training. Sensing Qi Xiaoshuang’s stare, Feng Yuan said a bit discontentedly,

"Hey hey! Why do I feel like you’re implying something?"

"Of course, I really don’t know what you’re thinking, letting Xiao Ji be completely free range. Ending up in your hands, it’s really..."

Xiao Ji chirped a few times in dissatisfaction at Qi Xiaoshuang. In its view, Feng Yuan was the best to it, and it wouldn’t allow others to speak of him that way.

"Hey, I am actually speaking up for you, you know?"

Qi Xiaoshuang was taken aback. She hadn’t expected this reaction from Xiao Ji. Patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said with some amusement,

"The theory is quite different from practice after all. Even if you came to the breeding house now to look after these Spirit Beasts, you wouldn’t understand."

"Is that so?"

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan with skepticism. She didn’t believe it. Agunas seemed to recall something and stared at Qi Xiaoshuang, saying,

"To a Spirit Beast, strength isn’t everything. If you pursue power too eagerly..."

"But without strength, many things can’t be accomplished, right?"

Qi Xiaoshuang glanced at Agunas and said with a faint smile.
