Chapter 902: Chapter 903: A Nighttime Gathering

"I thought you all would go to the forest outside."

Sitting in a chair, Feng Yuan smiled as he swirled the wine in his glass. Gladys leaned on the railing, letting the night breeze flutter her long hair as she said,

"At this time of night? That would be dull. He’s not even here."

"The forest here gets very damp at night, not exactly an ideal place for moon-gazing."

He Nanqing smiled slightly and then Lanadi turned to Feng Yuan and said,

"If you want, I can also join you for a walk in the little woods, just the two of us."

"Forget it, it’s quite nice here. But you don’t seem like someone interested in that sort of thing."

Feng Yuan was puzzled; Lanadi was clearly not a particularly sentimental person, or rather, because of her position, she had to always stay rational. He shook his wine glass and drank its contents in one gulp. Lanadi said,

"How would you know? In fact, I too hope that someday someone will accompany me to properly explore this vast world."

Gladys glanced at Lanadi but didn’t speak. Mogu, holding a jar of honey Feng Yuan gave it, hid on the side, happily licking away. Agunas was puzzled about where Feng Yuan got the honey since he didn’t have the ability in modern times to set a specific time.

"So, is it impossible to give up your current identity?"

Feng Yuan looked at Lanadi with some confusion and shook his head with a smile as Lanadi whispered,

"If I don’t do it, what will become of the Thousand Stars Tribe?"

"A civilization that relies on a hero for development is definitely unstable and short-lived."

"Yes, but we have no choice, at least not for now."

Lanadi said with a bitter smile, revealing a mysterious grin. Feng Yuan took out a rainbow-colored fruit from his pocket and passed it over, saying,

"Try this."

"What is this?"

"Heladi Fruit? Isn’t that thing famous for its unique taste?"

Agunas looked at the rainbow-colored fruit with some puzzlement, and Lanadi somewhat curiously looked at Feng Yuan, not quite understanding his intention. With a slight smile, Feng Yuan said,

"Just try it, and you’ll know~"

Agunas looked at Lanadi thoughtfully as she took the fruit and examined it in her hands, asking after a while,

"How do you eat this?"

"Directly, don’t peel it. Or rather, the skin is so thin that it’s hardly worth peeling."

Feng Yuan stepped back to the edge of the balcony and leaned against the railing. Where the group was located was the large balcony on the third floor of the assembly hall. The surrounding woodwork nicely concealed the balcony. With the decorative coverings, one wouldn’t feel the nearby buildings imposing on the balcony.

"What a strange taste."

Lanadi frowned slightly, the taste of the fruit was very odd. It wasn’t exactly unpleasant, but it felt uncomfortable, as if there was an urge to drink water to dilute it.

"Don’t drink alcohol. Once you eat something else, you’ll miss the most interesting part."

Seeing Lanadi reaching for the wine glass, Feng Yuan hurriedly stopped her. Looking at him with confusion, Lanadi didn’t understand the situation. With a secretive tone, Feng Yuan said,

"Just wait a minute, and you’ll know."

He Nanqing, seeing Feng Yuan act this way, quickly guessed that the fruit probably had some interesting effect a minute after eating it. Could it be more of a practical joke?

Gladys looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Where did you get this from? I remember this stuff is quite rare, seems like it’s only produced in small quantities on the Prute Plains of the Berost District."

"Long Boduo gave it to me; he seems to visit the Berost District often."

As Feng Yuan spoke, watching the changing expressions of Lanadi, Gladys paused, surprised, and looked at Feng Yuan saying,

"How did you manage that? To be on such good terms with so many Divine Beasts. Could it be that you are one of them yourself?"

"Do I look that much like a non-human?"

Feng Yuan looked at Gladys somewhat speechlessly. Covering her mouth and chuckling lightly, Gladys said,

"Aren’t I praising you? Do you think being a Divine Beast is derogatory?"

Looking up at the full moon, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"But compared to Divine Beasts, I find humans more interesting. Plus, I am not a Divine Beast."

"Don’t you think humans have too many woes? If only we could be carefree like the Divine Beasts~"

Gladys sipped her wine and said, Feng Yuan glanced at Veronia and said,

"Carefree? Are you joking?"

Noticing Feng Yuan’s gaze, Agunas turned to Veronia with a laugh, and with a fierce stare at Agunas, Veronia shouted,

"Little Crocodile!"

"What!"

"Starry Sky!"

"Let’s go!"

Holding his forehead, Feng Yuan was somewhat speechless. Drudgeon watched in surprise as Agunas and Veronia disappeared through the Space Gate. Surely they weren’t really going to fight in the Starry Sky?

"Don’t mind them, as long as they don’t put on a fireworks show in the sky for me."

Feng Yuan said helplessly as he looked at the starry sky. They probably wouldn’t breach the barrier of the starry sky. Gladys covered her mouth and chuckled,

"Do they always do this?"

"Pretty much, I don’t know what’s the matter with those two, but they always seem to be at odds with each other."

Feng Yuan said with a bit of a headache. He truly didn’t understand what was going on between Agunas and Veronia. There were no actual conflicts of interest, yet they always seemed to end up arguing.

"What, this taste?!"

Lanadi said in surprise, and with an odd smile, Gladys looked at the astonished Lanadi,

"That thing’s taste changes to your favorite in a minute, right? I wonder what flavor you like the most?"

"Well, I can’t describe it, it seems to be a mix of various flavors. Without those strange initial tastes, Heladi Fruit..."

"Wouldn’t have this delicious flavor. The final deliciousness comes from the strange tastes mixing together during that minute."

Feng Yuan said with a smile. Lanadi stared at him and asked,

"Are you trying to imply something?"

"No, I’m not interested. I just find it amusing, that’s all. Want some?"

Feng Yuan said, offering more Heladi Fruits, and he divided a fruit into sections with the knife on the table to give to Xiao Ji and Big Cat,

"Here, try this~"

Xiao Ji hesitated as he looked at the Heladi Fruit Feng Yuan handed over. It didn’t like the so-called bittersweet experience; wouldn’t it be better if it stayed sweet all the way to the end? Watching Xiao Ji eat the fruit slice as if taking medicine, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but say,

"If you don’t like it, you don’t have to eat it, right? Why force yourself?"

Xiao Ji hunched its neck, seemingly enduring the weird taste. Pomiti and Little Ice Cream seemed unaffected, as if nothing had happened at all. Feng Yuan gained new understanding of the capacities of these two Spirit Beasts.

"Do you have to be so dramatic?"

Seeing Big Cat rolling back and forth on the ground, Feng Yuan was speechless. That thing only tasted a bit odd; was such behavior necessary? Big Cat kept rolling around wailing until the deliciousness hit, and then it suddenly stopped, let out a blissful cry, and collapsed in a happy heap on the ground.

Although the deliciousness arrived, Xiao Ji still didn’t feel very happy because the previous strange taste had had too much of an impact on it. After a while, Xiao Ji rushed to Feng Yuan’s embrace for comfort, and somewhat speechlessly, he pet Xiao Ji’s head and said,

"You really are... I don’t even know what to say about you."

Xiao Ji nuzzled Feng Yuan with an aggrieved look, uttering a soft eagle cry.

"Truly an indescribable delicacy."

Gladys said, laughing lightly. Lanadi pushed the plate on the table and smiled,

"Why not try my mooncakes?"

"It’s not Mordan’s ingredients, so it feels like something’s missing. Still, not bad. Do you relieve stress by cooking usually?"

Gladys casually picked up a beige-colored cake and tasted it as Lanadi smiled helplessly,

"Where do you expect me to find ingredients?"

"So you’ll have to work hard in that area, you should at least start selling Mordan ingredients in the Divine Land Region~"

Hearing this explanation, Lanadi looked somewhat amusedly at Gladys and said,

"Do you really have no intention of leaving?"
