Chapter 888: Chapter 889: Abnormal Aura

"It doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong?"

Agunas said with some confusion, as the blonde Veronia holding a small parasol swept her gaze over Agunas and spoke with a cool voice,

"Can’t you sense that faint aura of death?"

"Is there?"

Agunas flicked its tail, somewhat incredulous. At least it hadn’t sensed anything of the sort, but it couldn’t be certain there wasn’t such an issue. The key was to see what Feng Yuan thought; when it came to the powers of the Death Series, that guy was clearly much more sensitive.

Glancing at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan nodded and said,

"Indeed, a faint breath of death lingers here. Though the Muzi Fruit bears ’wood’ in its name, it is a bona fide Life Series spiritual medicine and is most sensitive to such a deathly breath. However, this shouldn’t be so."

Stroking his chin, Feng Yuan seemed puzzled. This place had been blessed by the Divine Beasts after all, so where could this breath of death be coming from? As for a Death-series Divine Beast being responsible... please, those creatures were only playable by Death-series Divine Beasts themselves, and the Death-series Divine Beasts...

Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji beside him. This creature had always been by his side, so naturally, its suspicion was ruled out. Other Death-series Divine Beasts? Sorry, but Xiao Ji was currently the only Death-series Divine Beast, quite unlike the unclear numbers of other Attribute Divine Beasts. A Death-series Divine Beast had never been born before.

"It is indeed strange to encounter the breath of death in a place blessed by so many Divine Beasts; even I am unable to manipulate it."

Veronia extended her hand and looked at the small clump of black aura gathering at the tip of her index finger, saying, "Even I can barely gather this bit of deathly aura, and that’s with the existence of it here. The scope of this Muzi Fruit Forest is rather large; I can’t possibly release such an extensive breath of death."

"Only a Death-type Spirit Beast would be needed to deal with it, right? Wait a minute! That’s not right, are you saying that this is the breath of death from the depths of the Netherworld?!"

Agunas suddenly realized, after all, that thing almost never appeared in the real world, and it subconsciously overlooked it.

"What else? Little Crocodile, you really are dim-witted."

Veronia swept a glance at Agunas and said irritably, ignoring the two bickering Divine Beasts. Feng Yuan looked at the orchard before him, somewhat puzzled. In fact, he had some doubts about the origins of this breath of death, but he was a bit unsure.

Little Yognot yawned, sending out a spark that rolled on the ground and approached He Nanqing while making a fuss, as if it were acting coquettishly. Feng Yuan watched Little Yognot somewhat speechlessly and said,

"This fellow is probably even older than Agunas, and it still acts spoilt?"

"But speaking of age..."

Feng Yuan’s gaze stealthily shifted toward Veronia, who glared at him disapprovingly and said,

"That’s a very rude thing to do, the age of a young girl is a secret."

"Young girl?"

Agunas shook its tail, seemingly disdainful. That creature was much older than itself. Despite both belonging to Divine Beasts from the Mythical Era, Agunas had perished in battle towards the end of that era and was only reborn last year—a time span that was incredibly long.

"Little Crocodile, you seem somewhat dissatisfied."

Veronia closed her parasol unhappily and looked at Agunas, who flicked its tail disdainfully,

"An old relic that has lived since the Mythical Era dares to call itself a young girl."

"You!"

Holding his forehead, Feng Yuan felt a headache coming on. What was the deal with these two Divine Beasts? He was now thinking whether he should plot to send Veronia away somehow... perhaps to Gitalien? It seemed like that guy wouldn’t agree?

As Gitalien was strolling about, he suddenly shuddered, as if someone was plotting against him. Gitalien wondered doubtfully. But surely no one should be capable of that, right? Could it be those Hunters? For a moment, Gitalien was a bit confused.

"In that case, we just need to get rid of this breath of death."

Having circled the Muzi Fruit Forest, Feng Yuan said, and Veronia nodded,

"Indeed, but how do you plan to do that? Call that big dragon over?"

"There’s no need for that, here, just send the breath of death back."

Feng Yuan tossed the dark Ancient Book to Agunas, who caught it. Agunas’s paw swiped and a golden Gate of Light appeared. The resplendent gate slowly opened, revealing an invisible suction force to the onlookers as a vaguely noticeable black mist seemed to be flowing towards the interior of the gate.

"The number is not small, but what exactly is the situation?"

Feng Yuan was somewhat puzzled. How did so much Breath of Death appear here? Veronia looked at the black aura gathering and pulsing at her fingertips with some confusion and said,

"These Breaths of Death should lie dormant deep within the Netherworld. Why would they appear here? Has something changed in the depths of the Netherworld?"

"It’s hard to say. We can only find time to go and see. What a headache."

Feng Yuan covered his forehead with an unsatisfied expression and said, managing the Netherworld without a specific Divine Beast was quite troublesome. Of course, he could ask Gitalien and the others to check it out, but since they were not Death-series Divine Beasts, even if they went, it was unlikely they would find anything unusual.

"Isn’t there any other deity who can handle this?"

Veronia looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion. He shrugged helplessly and said,

"That’s just the way it is."

"How about we visit the Netherworld together to see what’s going on?"

Lanadi said with a smile. Feng Yuan looked at Lanadi, somewhat speechless, and said,

"Don’t you still have things to do? And after touring the Fire Stronghold, you still have several museums to visit."

"Since I’m here, haven’t I already chosen the best souvenirs?"

Lanadi linked arms with Feng Yuan and smiled at He Nanqing, who looked at them both curiously and said,

"If you need souvenirs, we can prepare some for you here, although I’m not sure if it will be enough."

"Just sell it to her at the normal price, she’s not short of money."

Feng Yuan pulled away from Lanadi’s hand and said. Gladys smiled slightly and said,

"I’m also very interested in the Netherworld. May I join you for a visit?"

"That’s no problem. And you?"

Seeing Feng Yuan looking at her, He Nanqing shook her head and said,

"I’m not interested in the Netherworld, plus there’s a lot to do in the stronghold, I can’t leave."

"Oh! If possible, could you contact Cloud Summit Mountain to purchase some Top-grade Yun Tea?"

Feng Yuan suddenly remembered and spoke up. He Nanqing smiled faintly after a brief moment and said,

"It’s no big deal. The finest Yun Tea from there is delivered here every year. There’s no need for a special delivery."

"It doesn’t have to be the finest. Top-grade Yun Tea is good enough. It would be too luxurious to offer the finest as gifts for them to give away."

Feng Yuan reflexively declined, then suddenly realized what was said and looked at He Nanqing with surprise,

"There are finer Yun Teas?!"

"Don’t you know? The best batch of the finest selected Yun Tea produced in Cha Mu Town is not sold but is sent here as a tribute. Although it is not consumed much, the amount of the finest Yun Tea is also not very large."

He Nanqing glanced at the Little Yognot spinning on the ground and said, understanding Feng Yuan’s point that something selected could not possibly be abundant. He Nanqing smiled and said,

"Then I’ll contact Cloud Summit Mountain later to send over the remaining Top-grade Yun Tea. However, there might not be much left since the season has passed."

If Feng Yuan had asked right after the harvest, the quantity wouldn’t have been an issue, but now that the selling season was nearly over, and the product wasn’t stockpiled, naturally, there wouldn’t be much left. After some thought, He Nanqing said,

"How about I ask if Qiyun Mountain has any leftovers? If we’re talking about quality, the best Yun Tea comes from them. But if you like it so much, we could consider planting some Yun Tea trees here."

He Nanqing said with a smile. Little Yognot ran over to Feng Yuan’s feet and rubbed against him before running to Xiao Ji as if inviting it to play. Feng Yuan scratched his head, embarrassed, and said,

"Let’s forget about that, it’s not necessary. Oh, by the way, Agunas, after you’ve collected the Breath of Death, water the area with Rain of Life so that the Muzi Fruits can recover quickly."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Agunas whipped its tail in displeasure.
