Chapter 870: Chapter 871 Visiting

Lanadi reached out and took hold of Feng Yuan’s hand, glanced at him as he tried to pull away and whispered,

"Can’t you just indulge me for once? That tiny wish of mine."

Looking at Lanadi, Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"Why bother? You must have plenty of admirers, right? Besides, I didn’t really do anything back then."

"Who knows? But it seems quite impossible now..."

Lanadi said with a hint of disappointment. In truth, she didn’t have any special feelings for Feng Yuan. Maybe it was just a rivalry with Gladys? Compared to Gladys, who almost had no companions, Lanadi didn’t think that man from the past was really that perfect.

"Memories of the past are always glorified by ourselves, so why get tangled up in them?"

Feng Yuan, looking at the cave wrapped in a layer of faint blue luminescence, said softly. Lanadi smiled and asked,

"What about you? Do you have any good memories?"

"Me?"

Feng Yuan paused, smiled, and then said,

"I have many... Joyful, painful, regretful... Every time I try to forget, I feel like I’m betraying the past."

Petting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan asked,

"What’s up? Do you have something special in mind?"

Looking at Feng Yuan, Lanadi smiled slightly and said,

"It seems you’ve been through a lot, haven’t you?"

"Humph, of course."

Feng Yuan said proudly, but Lanadi could sense the things he was hiding. Agunas swished his tail and looked around. Not far away, antique wooden structures stood erect inside the cave; glowing seaweed wrapped around the wooden columns, serving as lights—the yellow glows against the dark brown wood exuding an inexplicable robust, primitive charm.

"Thank you all for your help this time."

Yu Xian’er thanked everyone. Although she had not appeared before, it was because she sensed that those people outside had weapons that could threaten her, so she had to guard the spatial passage diligently to prevent their invasion. However, this did not mean she had lost her perception of the outside world.

"This architecture seems very similar to the style used during the chaotic times after the fall of the Great Li Dynasty... could this be..."

Dou Yanlan surveyed the wooden buildings, glanced at Yu Xian’er, then at Feng Yuan, wondering if the creature and the man might have had interactions in the past. Shaking her head, Yu Xian’er led everyone to the hall and said,

"I am not sure about that; I took over the duty of the Divine Beasts during the North Crane Dynasty..."

Yu Xian’er, seated in a wooden chair, swung her legs as she spoke. At first, she was only puzzled as to why Big Turtle had said what he did back then. However, with the departure of her companions over the years, she had come to understand the meaning behind Big Turtle’s words.

"North Crane, that was quite a while ago."

Feng Yuan remarked, looking at the surrounding structures, while Yu Xian’er lowered her head and shook her little feet, saying,

"Yes, I still have the gifts they gave me here..."

"Ha ha, you still display those things? I wouldn’t be able to stand seeing them every day."

Feng Yuan laughed as he spoke, Yu Xian’er looked at him somewhat surprised and curious.

"This huge lake? What exactly is it for?"

Feng Yuan stared in amazement at the vast lake before him, much larger than Jingyue Lake outside. The real question was why there was such a large lake inside this cave.

Looking at the faintly glowing blue lotuses on the lake’s surface, Yu Xian’er said,

"This was originally where Big Turtle lived. After it left, I didn’t change anything here."

"Big Turtle, the previous Divine Beast tasked with protecting the city?"

Lanadi spoke with a hint of surprise, curious about these special beings unique to the Divine Land Region. Yu Xian’er nodded and said,

"Yes, it was a huge turtle, but for some reason, I have been unable to find any of its kind."

"The Divine Beasts seem to be special; they did not evolve from Spirit Beasts but were directly bestowed with power that changed their species. It’s normal to not have any of their kind."

Feng Yuan mused aloud as he glanced at Xiao Ji. Unlike Xiao Ji, which could propagate its own Xiao Ji tribe through normal breeding, Divine Beasts like Yu Xian’er couldn’t; the uniquely existing Divine Beasts were perhaps more akin to Yognot’s kin.

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan, puzzled by his gaze. Suddenly ruffling Xiao Ji’s head vigorously, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Do you have any special local snacks here?"

"You, always thinking about eating wherever you go."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some speechlessness and said, Lanadi covered her mouth with a laugh and said,

"Special snacks, huh? Seems like you haven’t taken me to check them out yet."

"Hehe, wasn’t it not mealtime before?"

Feng Yuan scratched his head guiltily as Yu Xian’er said with a smile,

"I can actually prepare some special snacks that have been passed down from the North Crane Dynasty for you. As for the current ones, I’m not quite sure how to make those."

"Then that’d be great~"

Feng Yuan said with some excitement, Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and flicked his tail, scanning the lake glowing with a faint blue light with some puzzlement.

"Didn’t expect the restaurant to be so big."

Feng Yuan exclaimed upon arriving at the restaurant, thinking it would be in the same building as the lobby. To his surprise, there was a sizeable single-story wooden house behind that building. Looking at the dining hall, which resembled a banquet hall, Lanadi exclaimed,

"Didn’t expect the Divine Land Region to be so luxurious."

"You’re not one to talk, the Thousand Stars Altar in your tribe is way more extravagant than this."

Gladys said with a slight smile. Feng Yuan, curious, asked,

"What’s the Thousand Stars Altar?"

"After you left that year, Lorna had visited the Thousand Star Tribe. At that time, she left behind the Thousand Stars Altar at Shenji Rock. It’s much more spectacular than here, reportedly using nearly a thousand stars as the backdrop. We always took the Glowing Corridor to the altar, so we never counted them carefully."

Gladys pondered, although she didn’t quite grasp the meaning of Lorna’s corner of the starry sky. Compared to the altar designed after the starry sky, the Shuichao Cave buildings composed of ancient architecture seemed rather delicate.

"Who exactly is Lorna? A special name like ’Guardian of Space and Time’ shouldn’t appear among the Sacred Beasts."

Agunas asked with some confusion. As for the starry sky and all that, he wasn’t too concerned. Even an ordinary Sacred Beast could do something similar, let alone a very special Sacred Beast like Lorna.

"Don’t know, it’s not in the records at least."

Feng Yuan shrugged helplessly. Agunas stared at him puzzled and said,

"You’re saying it’s not in the records?!"

"What else? It’s a bit strange, but not completely incomprehensible, right? There are many unique Spirit Beasts that aren’t recorded, aren’t there?"

Feng Yuan said and yawned, hugging Xiao Ji and looking towards Lanadi,

"Speaking of which, why is your weapon a whip?"

"What about it?"

Lanadi asked, scratching Xiao Ji’s neck as Feng Yuan said,

"Doesn’t it seem a bit impractical?"

"I don’t think so. Or rather, I’m used to it. Other weapons don’t feel right to me."

Lanadi replied. She usually just used the whip to tie people up. As for using it in combat? Aren’t the ultimate moves of a Spirit Beast useful?

"Speaking of weapons, what are you actually good at?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, puzzled. When it came to cold weapons, he seemed to change too often to have a particular favorite. Fire arms? That guy had never used them. Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"I don’t really have anything I’m especially good at. I mainly use the Sickle for its spell-enhancement effects. The Wolf God Giant Sword is the power manifestation of the White Wolf Deity. I’m decent with the Long Halberd, but I don’t usually like to use it without some kind of boost."

"Seems like there really isn’t anything you’re particularly good at."

Feng Yuan recalled and laughed. Lanadi looked at him in surprise and said,

"Didn’t expect you to be able to use so many weapons, that’s pretty impressive."

"How about, we have a friendly competition right now?"

Lanadi, full of fighting spirit, challenged, but Feng Yuan scratched his head, somewhat helplessly,

"I can’t even bring out those weapons right now."

"You haven’t recovered?"

Agunas understood the reason. The Sickle and the Lantern couldn’t be used due to the power seals until recovery, and without the White Wolf Deity, he couldn’t manifest the Wolf God Giant Sword.

"Right? Wait, maybe I can try something."

Feng Yuan suddenly thought of something and looked over at Xiao Ji, who returned his gaze, puzzled as to why he was looking at her like that.
