Chapter 913: 914 Chapter Confusion

"Raising so many rats must cost a pretty penny, right?"

Feng Yuan curiously watched the group of Xiao Ji’s minions squeaking, seemingly talking among themselves. Liang Ziqing shook his head and said,

"It’s alright, usually they can help make some money, so there isn’t much pressure."

"That makes sense."

Feng Yuan agreed, his gaze shifting to Big Cat. If one were to talk about making money, Big Cat really had made a substantial amount. Although Feng Yuan hadn’t inquired about it, the fact that it could support Little Green Snake’s consumption was enough to know. Little Green Snake had used quite a lot of Spiritual Medicine and Materials to test its evolutionary path, and though each item wasn’t very expensive, the sheer quantity made up for it.

Regarding this, Feng Yuan had no objections; the money meant little to Big Cat. After all, what use would a Spirit Beast have for a pile of human currency? With its help, Little Green Snake would surely repay it in the future. Not to mention, as a Divine Beast, having Big Cat to protect it allowed Little Green Snake to freely do as it wished.

"I really don’t know whether to say your luck is good or bad."

Captain Yan observed Feng Yuan somewhat speechlessly. He hadn’t expected to encounter him here. As for whether he had brought disaster? That wouldn’t be the case; the spies had been operative since day one, those here had merely stumbled upon them. Core cities like Shenhua and Shangjing were their primary targets, and although the spies here aimed to create chaos, they hadn’t specifically targeted anyone.

At least Captain Yan could recognize at a glance that the person on the ground was no elite. That distinctive aura, once seen, was hard to forget.

And such individuals wouldn’t be burdened by these spies, as doing so would only expose them without any benefits.

"Who knows, have spy activities been intense recently?"

Feng Yuan looked at Captain Yan surprisingly, as the latter seemed not at all surprised by this. Looking at Cheng Xiaoxiao and Liang Ziqing, Captain Yan hesitated before asking,

"Almost, who are they planning to frame this time?"

"Here, see for yourself."

Feng Yuan handed the token to Captain Yan, who paused upon seeing the item and said,

"This... they’re really audacious. They’ve been active as an illegal organization for so long, and what they represent is not simple. They actually..."

"Who knows, maybe it’s small countries acting foolishly, not understanding some special situations, just like the web of relationships among Divine Beasts."

Feng Yuan stated nonchalantly. In truth, his connections were only with those top Divine Beasts. As for the Divine Beasts behind the countries planning to attack Great Xia? They were strangers to each other, and there wasn’t much to discuss. Those Divine Beasts didn’t have a particularly good relationship with Lorraine Tower either, as the difference in strength was too significant for fruitful interactions.

"Perhaps."

Captain Yan wasn’t entirely sure if what Feng Yuan said was correct. Glancing at the Little Ice Cream on Feng Yuan’s shoulder, Captain Yan said,

"You should take some time to register your two new Spirit Beasts with the Special Duty Team, and also, the Meteorite Museum hopes you could bring them there for a thorough check. If it’s inconvenient, you can decline. If they engage in any misconduct, it’s best to have Liao Yu handle it."

He was particularly concerned that the Meteorite Museum might do something rash for these new Spirit Beasts and anger Feng Yuan, as those obsessed with research sometimes fail to see the clear situation.

"Sure, but I didn’t expect you to say that, Captain Yan."

Feng Yuan looked at Captain Yan somewhat surprised, thinking he was going to warn him not to cause trouble. Instead, suggesting that the Special Duty Team back him up seemed unnecessary.

"I’d rather not have you guys start a fight in the city."

Captain Yan said with some irritation. At that moment, Agunas returned, trailing a group of people bound by sky-blue Rune Chains, struggling continuously. With a wave of his hand, those people all fell in front of the Special Duty Team. Agunas said,

"That’s all of them, only so many in Maomu City have connections with them, but, you might still need to head to Fire Stronghold."

"You’re kidding, right? They dared to provoke it?"

Feng Yuan was startled. If these spies targeted Fire Stronghold, who else could be their target but Yognot? After all, he was part of the Alliance. Knowing the situation at Fire Stronghold wasn’t a big deal, but directly attacking areas declared protected by the Alliance, even avoiding wars, what was this confrontation all about?

"I don’t know, but according to clues obtained, there seems to be a team of elites infiltrating Fire Stronghold, likely planning something."

"Damn it!"

Captain Yan spoke resentfully in a low voice, naturally aware of the situation in Fire Stronghold. They too required their assistance to ensure no mishaps, but he hadn’t expected them to be so daring as to disregard the Alliance’s ban and make a move on such a special area as Fire Stronghold.

"This really is... What about Lorraine Tower and the others?"

Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly, looking towards Agunas, who flicked its tail and responded helplessly,

"They just left for some business and are not in the Divine Land Region now."

"That means they either want to do something there to distract me and then make a move on Maomu City, or they want to strike there, but what will they do here?"

Feng Yuan pondered, clutching his chin. Even if Lorraine Tower and the others were not present, Agunas was still by his side. They couldn’t possibly disregard it, and Agunas would definitely act together with him. Therefore, whatever they wanted to do, they had to lure him away first, but what exactly was the opponent’s objective?

"Should I and it each take care of one side?"

Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and suggested. After thinking, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"Never mind, I will find someone else to help. You are not familiar enough with modern human society to handle these matters well."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Veronia felt somewhat unhappy, and Agunas flicked its tail and asked,

"Who do you plan to ask?"

"Guess~"

"However, in that case, I’ll just head to Fire Stronghold, as I was planning to go to the hot springs."

Feng Yuan said, his eyes gleaming. Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"Don’t involve Qi Chen and the others in this kind of thing. It wouldn’t be good if something unexpected happened."

"You really think highly of me."

In the morning, when he heard Feng Yuan’s invitation, Qi Chen spoke somewhat speechlessly. He was very aware of his own capabilities, which were nowhere near sufficient to participate in such matters. Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"I believe you can do it, and don’t you think it would be interesting?"

"Not really, I dare not touch this matter."

Qi Chen decisively declined, his time too precious to waste. Seeing Qi Chen’s firm attitude, Feng Yuan didn’t press further but sighed and fished Xiao Ji out from its house, saying,

"Then be careful recently. Although I will have someone help guard this place, they might not consider the safety of others."

"You’re bringing someone in? Isn’t this a matter for the Special Duty Team?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with a hint of confusion. The situation seemed hardly related to Feng Yuan. Not to mention Yu Xian’er, both the Special Duty Team and the Guard Team had duties to protect Maomu City. Why would Feng Yuan be the one to bring someone in?

"I suspect they can’t handle it, especially since they’ve factored Agunas into their calculations. They probably have something special up their sleeve."

As long as it wasn’t a Divine Beast, they still had ways to handle it, and even for someone at Agunas’s level, they definitely had ways to restrain it, such as making a move towards Yognot. Feng Yuan suspected that the opponent must have obtained some artifact from the Mythical Era; otherwise, they wouldn’t have the guts. Not to mention, Yognot has Drudgeon watching over it; even though they are not top-tier Divine Beasts, their combat power is not weak.

"Is it necessary? And what exactly is the point of doing this?"

Qi Chen felt confused. Maomu City was not a strategic location, so what were they really after by targeting Maomu City so intensely? Shrugging, Feng Yuan helplessly said,

"I don’t know, I can’t figure out what they’re thinking."

"Could it be to tie you down, and then make a move on Shangjing?"

Veronia reminded. After some thought, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"That seems unlikely. Shangjing has quite a few Sacred Beast-level beings guarding it, along with city-guarding Divine Beasts and various special trump cards. Unless they let a Divine Beast take direct action, they really can’t take it down."

As for involving Divine Beasts or openly intervening, that would likely spark an immediate Divine Beast war throughout the Divine Land Region. Great Xia had friendly Divine Beasts; how could they allow such reckless behavior?
