Chapter 838: Chapter 839: Strange Person

Feng Yuan squeezed past Agunas and passed the Dolomons Grass over. Little Green Snake looked at it with some surprise, and Agunas spoke with a bit of speechlessness,

"Either you come over or it comes here, don’t block the Space Gate like this."

After thinking for a while, Little Green Snake climbed up Feng Yuan’s arm to his shoulder and sized up the pot of Dolomons Grass. While Feng Yuan explained what it was to Little Green Snake, Zhong Liuyan tugged at Pei Yu and said,

"Let’s go buy some snacks."

"How are things going with you?"

As soon as they returned to the store, Feng Yuan shouted loudly, causing the customers in the store to turn their heads and gaze at his uniform in surprise. At that moment, Veronia came out with the Thunder Spirit Cat, proudly showing off to Feng Yuan,

"What do you think?"

"Pretty impressive, did you do this?"

Feng Yuan surveyed the Thunder Spirit Cat’s dress with some astonishment. The dress perfectly highlighted the cat’s temperament, making it seem as noble as a Dynasty Era noble elegantly, but after only a short walk, the Thunder Spirit Cat showed a fierce look, and though it was the same dress, the effect was completely different, turning from supporting a gentle elegance to displaying a dignified and commanding presence.

The woman came out again and asked Veronia,

"Are you really not considering it? I think you are really..."

Veronia waved her hand and floated over to Feng Yuan, saying,

"I’m not interested in serving other creatures. Wouldn’t it be better the other way around?"

The woman chuckled awkwardly, not expecting Veronia to say something like that. Feng Yuan took a small paper box from the door opened by Little Green Snake and handed it to Veronia,

"Here’s a gift for you."

"What’s this?"

Veronia inspected the box, sensing a strange aroma from it. Food?

"Here’s your gift! See if you like it."

Feng Yuan boasted. He had specially made it using borrowed kitchen space and ingredients from that dessert shop. He had been quite troubled over choosing a gift for Veronia, as she and Agunas were different; she already had a lot of possessions from the legacy of the Kingdom of Holy Light and Feng Yuan didn’t want to give her something just to clutter her storage.

"Snacks?"

Veronia opened the small paper box, somewhat puzzled, and saw neatly arranged various small sweets. She carefully picked up a small biscuit, while Agunas flicked his tail and said,

"I’ve told you, how could you possibly know what flavors it likes."

"That’s why I got a bit of everything~"

Feng Yuan chuckled. He hadn’t been with Veronia for long and didn’t know what flavors of food she preferred, which was why Agunas had been against Feng Yuan giving her food, as it might not necessarily match her tastes.

"What is with your uniform? The military didn’t have a change of uniform planned this year, did they?"

The woman gazed curiously at Feng Yuan’s uniform, and Agunas flicked his tail again and said,

"That doesn’t have much to do with Great Xia, it just somewhat looks similar."

"I see, I thought..."

The woman shook her head with a slight amusement. She thought she had remembered wrongly. However, Feng Yuan’s uniform was indeed unique and might be useful for designing the next one? The thought crossed the woman’s mind for no particular reason, but as she glanced at the Thunder Spirit Cat beside her, whose dress undeniably amazed her, she realized that perhaps only Spirit Beasts knew how to design for Spirit Beasts. The woman didn’t understand, but she also knew that there weren’t many Spirit Beasts with abilities like Veronia’s.

"Three years have flown by so quickly..."

That evening, in the dessert house on the top floor of the department center, everyone sat on the terrace seats casually chatting. Feng Yuan, holding a piece of dried fish over Xiao Ji’s head, seemed to be teasing Xiao Ji again. Pei Yu, looking at the nostalgic Zhong Liuyan, said,

"I think it’s okay, it’s either attending classes or doing homework every day, I really..."

"I wonder if we will still have the chance to reunite after this year..."

Zhong Liuyan murmured softly. No one responded at this moment. It was okay for Feng Yuan and Qi Chen since they were mostly staying at Maomu Academy, but it was different for Chen Xin and the others. Pei Yu might leave with Zhong Liuyan, whereas Chen Xin and Bai You... Actually, Feng Yuan didn’t really know where they would go.

Perhaps after graduation, everyone will head to different cities to study, and as time goes by, they will all make new companions...

"Actually, coming together isn’t really impossible; high-speed rail is so convenient, we could just arrange a time..."

Qi Chen saw the atmosphere was a bit odd and spoke out to console, Feng Yuan patted Qi Chen’s shoulder with a smile without explaining, Zhong Liuyan looked at Feng Yuan and asked,

"Are you really not considering Great Xia Academy?"

"Not interested, what’s there for me? Are they giving away Sacred Beasts when you enroll or something?"

Feng Yuan joked. He wasn’t very interested in leaving Maomu City to study. Wanting to visit other cities in this era wasn’t difficult at all; even without graduating, he could simply request leave from the academy to travel to another city for a few months, as long as he could pass the final assessments.

"The reputation of Great Xia’s top academy doesn’t really attract you."

Bai You savored his coffee while gazing at the distant night scene and sighed softly,

"It’s a pity, once we leave, who knows if we’ll have the chance to come back."

"Can’t we just take the high-speed rail back anytime?"

Qi Chen was puzzled, Bai You smiled and said,

"Ideas are always good, it’s just that there’s no time..."

Feng Yuan looked at Bai You in surprise, Chen Xin said with a bitter smile,

"Surely you’re not so busy that you can’t spare a day or two? The military commanders don’t have that much on their plates, right?"

"With the war approaching, I can’t hide in Shangjing. But you must be careful, I can’t look after you during the war."

"War, huh..."

Dou Yanlan, hearing the exchanges between Chen Xin and Bai You, looked at Feng Yuan and sighed softly. She hadn’t expected that even with the efforts of Lorraine Tower and Chang Nianyun, they were merely delaying the onset of the war.

"The war is still uncertain; after all, the world isn’t very peaceful now. If something significant happens, wanting to keep the civil unrest might still be difficult."

Feng Yuan shook his head and glanced at Agunas, mentioning that currently, three worlds were making contact and battling with this world. The Behemoth World was still manageable as Sacred Beasts could easily handle it, the Holy Light World was more problematic, as He is personally watching the invasion point. There’s also a suspected technological world lurking in the background, plotting for the power of Sacred Beasts.

"War is inevitable since they provoked us first, and... human kingdoms don’t provide much help in world-level confrontations."

Agunas wagged its tail, stating that whenever such events occurred, it had always been handled by the Sacred Beasts themselves. For human kingdoms, the only difference was whether Sacred Beasts were able to participate in battle. Veronia, sipping her coffee disdainfully, added,

"Would they dare to make a move without the support of Sacred Beasts?"

"If they still dare to make a move, that means they definitely have something special backing them."

Veronia asserted confidently. Excluding Sacred Beasts, Great Xia’s power far exceeds those nations; without some special situation, wouldn’t any provocation lead to a severe counter from Great Xia?

"It’s not necessarily the case; if I remember correctly, their Sacred Beasts combined are not fewer than Great Xia’s, maybe even more."

Feng Yuan recalled, stating that he didn’t really care about these things. After all, the opposition couldn’t possibly really reach Maomu City. Those people didn’t understand, and didn’t their patron Sacred Beasts know this? If they really fought their way to Maomu City, they would definitely be counter-pushed by the group of Sacred Beasts he had brought.

Everyone enjoyed desserts while chatting until the department store was about to close before leaving.

"How odd? Who is this little girl?"

Just as they walked out of the department store, Feng Yuan looked puzzled at the little girl lying on the ground. Zhong Liuyan went forward to help her up, carefully checked her, and found no injuries but she remained unconscious. Pei Yu pulled at Zhong Liuyan and whispered,

"Stay away from her, something about her isn’t right."

Zhong Liuyan glared at Pei Yu seemingly unhappy with his remarks, Chen Xin said in a low voice, cautiously,

"He’s right, you better keep your distance from her for now."
