Chapter 744: Chapter 745: Fatty Coo Comes Knocking_1

"What’s that strange noise?"

Feng Yuan, who was bored watching Xiao Ji train, looked around with some confusion. He thought he heard someone calling him. Just then a "coo, coo, coo" sounded, and Feng Yuan turned to see a Fatty Coo waddling over to him.

"Could this be... the Fatty Coo from the nursery?"

With a touch of bewilderment, Feng Yuan pointed a finger at the Fatty Coo’s forehead and froze it in place, then looked back to see a woman in a nursery uniform panting as she ran over.

"What’s this about?"

Feng Yuan said with confusion as he picked up the Fatty Coo and handed it to the woman, setting aside the fact that the Drudgeon mini-classroom was an activity exclusive to students of their school. The Fatty Coo had just been born not long ago and wasn’t ready to learn Drudgeon’s special moves.

It was known that Spirit Beasts were not adept at controlling their abilities right after hatching. Drudgeon wouldn’t teach overly simple special moves either, so the Fatty Coo’s purpose in coming here was quite puzzling.

"It wanted to see you," the woman said while holding the Fatty Coo. If it hadn’t been for the little guy’s fuss, she wouldn’t have considered bringing it over. What if an accident occurred? Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"It wants to see me? Should I know it from somewhere?"

As he spoke, Feng Yuan sneaked a glance at Xiao Ji, who was still diligently practicing a newly learned special move and had not noticed the situation here. The woman slightly smiled and handed over the struggling Fatty Coo, saying,

"Can’t you see for yourself?"

Held in Feng Yuan’s arms, the Fatty Coo let out a content cooing noise. Although the Fatty Coo looked round and chubby, it wasn’t particularly heavy. Holding it felt similar to Xiao Ji, or rather, in terms of tactile sensation, even better than Xiao Ji. Its soft feathers and springy body made it a treasure that humans wouldn’t mind cuddling.

Agunas used its little paws to push Pomiti, who was trying to run away, and floated over to Feng Yuan’s side to observe the Fatty Coo, saying,

"It’s growing well—not the most perfect, but still quite notable among its kind."

"Of course. We’ve all been taking good care of it. How could it not thrive?" The woman said proudly while Feng Yuan glanced at the Fatty Coo in his arms and stated,

"You really just brought it here for a change of scenery? No other purpose?"

The woman gave Feng Yuan a sideways glance and said irritably,

"We’re not as bad as you think. While we admit you’re the expert when it comes to healing Spirit Beast Eggs, I don’t feel the same about rearing."

The woman’s gaze drifted toward Xiao Ji, who was utilizing the training device to improve its flying speed and close combat abilities. A glance was all she needed to understand that Xiao Ji was practicing on its own, and many unorthodox training methods were not corrected.

"I’m not after ultimate strength. Why should I make it go through such hardship?" Feng Yuan said nonchalantly. Most Beast Tamers can unlock ninety percent of their beasts’ potential. The effort required to completely unlock the remaining ten percent is ten times or even dozens of times more than the first ninety percent, and Feng Yuan did not want Xiao Ji to struggle so much.

Agunas flicked its tail and remarked,

"Indeed, there’s no need for it."

Divine Beasts had nearly infinite lifespans, hence they didn’t specifically train themselves. The lengthy passage of time would slowly take their strength to the limit.

As for safety? Other Divine Beasts wouldn’t ignore such matters. Besides, Xiao Ji was staying by Feng Yuan’s side. Agunas couldn’t think of any place safer than this. If Xiao Ji faced a lethal threat, it wasn’t confident that Feng Yuan wouldn’t use his power capable of effortlessly destroying the world against an enemy.

"You can’t always protect them, can you? What if an accident happens...?"

"It can borrow power from us whenever it needs. If the level of a pseudo-Legendary can’t solve a problem, what use would a bit of training bring?"

Agunas couldn’t explain the specifics, just rolled its eyes with annoyance, and the woman, momentarily stunned, shone with realization as she said,

"If that’s the case... then indeed... but..."

"Not everyone seeks ultimate power. I can understand and respect your reasons for doing so, but what does that have to do with me?"

"But, didn’t you already join the special operations squad? Once you reach the strength, won’t you be promoted to the special unit?"

"I’m just assisting. I haven’t officially joined the special operations squad, and I’m not interested in the special unit. I prefer to enjoy the rare days of student life."

Feng Yuan handed Fatty Coo back somewhat irritably, saying, the woman seemed puzzled, but seeing Fatty Coo struggling discontentedly in her arms, she passed it over and said,

"Could you take extra care of it for a while? Look at it..."

Heaving a sigh, Feng Yuan took Fatty Coo and teased it while casually asking,

"What are the plans for its future? Follow in its parents’ footsteps?"

"This... it’s not for us to decide."

Knowing what kind of path that was, the woman hesitated as she looked at Fatty Coo, saying. Although they could be ruthless with other Spirit Beasts, this little one had won the affection of most people in the breeding house with its charm; she hesitated now, and at this point, she suddenly understood why Feng Yuan had answered as he did earlier.

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Fatty Coo twisted its body into a white ball, then suddenly bounced up with a joyous cooing sound. That’s when Xiao Ji also noticed what was happening and abandoned its exercise equipment to pounce directly toward Feng Yuan.

"Hey! My clothes can’t withstand your claws!"

Catching the diving Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan spoke with resignation. He was wearing casual clothes now, not the highly defensive Ritual Robe; a scratch from Xiao Ji’s claws would ruin them.

Landing on the ground, Xiao Ji angrily squawked at Fatty Coo in Feng Yuan’s arms. Fatty Coo sneakily glanced at Feng Yuan and, seeing that he wasn’t paying attention, shifted its body and proudly wiggled its tail towards Xiao Ji.

"Stop it!"

Feng Yuan blocked Xiao Ji’s head to prevent it from pecking at Fatty Coo. Looking pitifully at Feng Yuan, tears dripped from Xiao Ji’s eyes, and Agunas caught a glance at Fatty Coo and said,

"This guy is no less than Big Cat."

"Er..."

Feng Yuan sensed something was off; after all, Big Cat often used similar tactics and even hid them deeper. Xiao Ji had never spotted Big Cat, whose presence was extremely subtle. Right then, the yawning Big Cat by Feng Yuan’s side seemed to find something interesting and began woofing at Fatty Coo.

Nonchalantly placing Fatty Coo on Big Cat’s head, Feng Yuan gently patted Xiao Ji and softly comforted it. After crying pitifully for a while, Xiao Ji finally calmed down. It glared at Big Cat, who was interacting with Fatty Coo, then turned around, preparing to return to its training, but not before giving Feng Yuan a sorrowful look, as if pleading not to be abandoned.

"Big Cat won’t lead it astray, will he?"

Feng Yuan looked at Fatty Coo with some concern. He wasn’t worried that Fatty Coo would cling to him, as he didn’t plan to interact with it further, and the staff at the breeding house seemed to care a lot about it. He estimated that given time, it would "find a new love." Otherwise, Feng Yuan really would have to think about erasing its memories related to him.

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas said calmly,

"What do you think?"

"It should... not be the case?"

"Anyway, it doesn’t concern you, does it? Unless you want to bring it back."

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan warily, and faced with Agunas’s look of distrust, Feng Yuan said with resignation,

"What are you imagining? I’m not a master of birds, am I? Why should I deal with so many bird Spirit Beasts causing a ruckus?"

"You never know."

Agunas flicked its tail and turned away from Feng Yuan, saying irritably. Just then, Feng Yuan noticed Chen Xin seemed to be asking everyone something and perked up his ears, quietly expanding his Divine Sense.

Annoyed by Feng Yuan’s actions, Agunas said,

"She’s organizing a haunted house trip for you. After all, it’s time to prepare for such an important exam; organizing such group activities is not easy."

"Hehe~"

Scratching his head with a smile, Feng Yuan had just had a whim and hadn’t considered all the subsequent issues. After a while, Agunas said,

"You might as well spare that haunted house. They’ve gone to such lengths to organize the event for you. If you..."

"Haunted house? Are you referring to the one that just recently reopened?"

Hearing Agunas’s words, the woman suddenly perked up with interest, and Feng Yuan curiously asked,

"You’re aware of it too?"
