Chapter 875: Chapter 876: Omen

"I just want to protect the World of Mirrors. What happens in Maomu City has nothing to do with me..."

After hesitating, Veronia didn’t finish her sentence, and Feng Yuan nodded in understanding as he said,

"No worries, you’re not a native being of Maomu City, and you’re not one of those hot-blooded idiots who inexplicably want to protect a place."

"I just thought you might have some common language, seeing as you are both beings forgotten by time."

"Beings forgotten by time?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Veronia smiled. This title seemed quite interesting to her. She watched Feng Yuan, who was grooming Big Cat’s feathers, and then spoke up,

"Can you take me with you when you go out tomorrow?"

"Sure, but we’re leaving around seven in the morning, so just make sure you get up on time."

Feng Yuan replied casually. It wasn’t that he couldn’t force Veronia to wake up but rather that she was probably sleeping inside the Mirror Realm. To wake her, he’d likely have to break through the barrier of the Mirror Realm, which didn’t seem quite appropriate—it felt like breaking into someone’s house from the outside just to wake them up.

"Seven o’clock? Okay, got it."

Veronia smiled, took out her phone, and sat down at the table to look at her messages. Xiao Ji watched Veronia with jealousy and then turned to Big Cat, who was enjoying the grooming. Xiao Ji lacked the organs to handle a phone and didn’t have enough telekinetic power, so it could only watch them play with their phones, unable to experience it for itself.

"What a hassle."

Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly. He could sense Xiao Ji’s dissatisfaction, but he didn’t know exactly what it was unhappy about, and right now, he really didn’t have the capacity to deal with Xiao Ji, especially since Big Cat’s feathers were much more disheveled than he had anticipated.

"How did Pomiti even manage this? Why are they so tangled?"

Feng Yuan complained as he groomed Big Cat’s feathers. The outer layer of big feathers was manageable, but the smaller ones inside were so tangled, they were unrecognizable. If it weren’t for the fact that they weren’t knotted, he would have suspected he would find a clump of knotted feathers.

"It must have been hit by something like a tornado or another ultimate move, but that’s not right, those moves wouldn’t cause this kind of effect."

Agunas looked at Big Cat, puzzled. It felt strange because, although Big Cat wasn’t a Wind Attribute Spirit Beast, as a bird-shaped Spirit Beast, it naturally had some immunity to wind-based ultimate moves. To achieve this effect without causing injury seemed somewhat impossible.

Big Cat made a whimpering noise as if trying to say something, and after a while, Agunas said with some surprise,

"A data storm? What is that?"

"It’s probably something like a tornado that appears in the Data Domain, right? Just from hearing it, you can guess it’s something along those lines."

Feng Yuan replied offhandedly, and after a moment, Agunas responded, puzzled,

"Such things can also occur?"

"Under normal circumstances, they shouldn’t exist. However, if there’s some change, it’s hard to say, as even the Dream Domain has similar special phenomena."

"A Nightmare storm? That makes sense. But if anomalies are occurring in the Data Domain, could it be related to the Netherworld? After all, there have been anomalies there, right?"

After thinking it over, Feng Yuan said,

"I’m not certain. I can’t rule out that possibility. You can mention it to Gitalien to keep an eye on other Domains."

Agunas glanced at Little Green Snake somewhat oddly and said,

"Can we only rely on Gitalien?"

"What else? It’s not strong enough. Its spiritual power can’t cover a whole region. Unlike Gitalien, who could scan over an area region by region in no time if it went all out."

As Feng Yuan continued to sort Big Cat’s feathers, Veronia thought for a moment and then said,

"I can help, using the power of the Mirror Realm to expand its sensory range."

"Are you sure that’s okay? It won’t cause any adverse effects on you, will it?"

Feng Yuan looked at Veronia with some concern, but she shook her head and said,

"It’s fine. The impact on me is not that significant. It’s just a pity that the Mirror Realm isn’t intact, or it would have been better."

"There’s nothing we can do about it. The necessary elements have already appeared. There was no need to keep maintaining that failure."

"A failure, eh..."

Veronia seemed a bit disheartened but then shook her head and said.

"It’s good this way, at least now the Mirror Realm only belongs to me."

"Finally got it done~"

Feng Yuan clapped his hands, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and proudly said, having finally managed to comb Big Cat’s feathers neatly. Big Cat meowed gleefully, while a sleepy Xiao Ji, woken by Feng Yuan’s movements, looked at Feng Yuan with pitiful eyes. Feng Yuan, somewhat speechless, scratched Xiao Ji’s chin and said,

"Aren’t you asleep yet? Really, what time do you think it is?"

By this time, Veronia had long since crawled under the bed to rest. As Xiao Ji chattered, as if trying to say something, Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"It wants to play with the phone, but it can’t use one right now."

"Then why don’t you turn back into an Eggshell Chicken?"

Feng Yuan poked Xiao Ji’s forehead, somewhat speechless. When it was an Eggshell Chicken, it could use its little wings to operate a phone. Even though its wings had grown too big after evolving, making it unable to continue doing that, it hadn’t completely lost its Eggshell Chicken form and could easily revert to operate a phone.

Xiao Ji looked stunned for a moment then suddenly seemed to understand and began saying something to Feng Yuan, who pulled out his own phone and handed it over, saying,

"Here, take it. I’m going to take a shower. How about it, want to join?"

Xiao Ji, having just transformed into its Eggshell Chicken form, hesitated for a second, then quickly retreated with the phone under a table. Feng Yuan swept a glance over Xiao Ji and said,

"Okay then, I’m going off to shower. Don’t play too late, get some rest soon."

"We don’t have to accompany you today, do we?"

In the morning, Qi Chen looked somewhat speechlessly at an expectant Feng Yuan. After all, there are only so many sights in Maomu City, and he had lived in this city since he was a child. Except for the exceptionally well-hidden places, where hadn’t he been? And he wasn’t really interested in those hidden spots—wouldn’t it be better to spend that time training?

"Well... never mind."

Hesitating for a moment, Feng Yuan still gave up the idea. After all, Qi Chen and the others still had to prepare for the academy assessments. It seemed a bit unreasonable to drag them along again today, especially since Gladys would be joining too. Maybe there wasn’t much need to insist on Qi Chen’s company?

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Then I’m off. Call me if you need anything."

Even though he didn’t particularly fancy wandering around aimlessly with Feng Yuan, Qi Chen wouldn’t object if Feng Yuan really insisted—after all, Feng Yuan had helped him so much, so accompanying him for a walk was the least he could do. It was just that he felt it wasn’t really necessary, especially since Gladys had said she’d join Lanadi for the day out.

"Mhm, go for it~"

Feng Yuan suddenly changed his tone, startling Qi Chen. Without another word, Qi Chen left the dorm with Ah Mu, and Feng Yuan placed Pomiti on top of Big Cat’s head, saying,

"I’m entrusting it to you~"

Big Cat meowed a few times in agreement, and Pomiti seemed quite accustomed to sitting on Big Cat’s head. Little Green Snake followed next to Big Cat, occasionally glancing at Pomiti, while Veronia settled onto Feng Yuan’s shoulder, saying,

"Let’s go."

"Is that a Divine Beast on your shoulder?"

Lanadi asked, looking at Veronia in surprise. Feng Yuan looked at Lanadi somewhat curiously and said,

"How did you know?"

"Divine Beasts have different powers from Ordinary Spirit Beasts. Anna can see the difference."

"Really?"

Feng Yuan didn’t say much about this—perhaps Lanadi just sensed Veronia’s power. After all, Little Green Snake and Xiao Ji were flitting around and Lanadi didn’t seem to notice anything. Gladys observed Veronia and said,

"I didn’t expect you to have so many Divine Beasts by your side, one after another."

"Hehe~ Impressive, isn’t it?"

Feng Yuan boasted, to which Agunas rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless. Looking puzzled, Veronia said,

"He has many Divine Beasts by his side?"

Thinking about it, besides itself, there were Agunas, Xiao Ji, and Little Green Snake around Feng Yuan—indeed, quite a few. Gladys nodded and said,

"Of course, it’s almost like he’s favored by Divine Beasts."

Agunas just flicked his tail and didn’t explain, while Feng Yuan didn’t know how to argue. Gladys, pulling Lanadi along, looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"How about going shopping today? Maomu City should have its own specialty products, right?"
