Chapter 916: Chapter 917: Travel and Visitors

"Phew, this hot spring is pretty nice~"

Feng Yuan praised the hot spring in front of him. Xiao Ji looked at the steaming hot spring with some hesitation. Feng Yuan jumped in directly. The edge of the hot spring was all made to look like rocks. Sitting in the hot spring, Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji and said,

"Aren’t you coming in?"

Xiao Ji hesitated for a long time after looking at Feng Yuan. Big Cat, meowing softly, jumped directly into the pool, creating a huge splash. Seeing this, Xiao Ji no longer hesitated and followed Big Cat with a leap into the water.

Agunas, looking somewhat puzzled at Pomiti floating face up on the water’s surface, said,

"Is it okay like this?"

"This..."

Feng Yuan, somewhat speechlessly, stepped forward to turn Pomiti over. Seeing it was Feng Yuan, Pomiti cheerfully waved its little hands. Feng Yuan, rubbing his forehead with a resigned expression, gave Pomiti a gentle push toward Big Cat and said,

"Big Cat, help take care of it."

Little Green Snake, disliking the hot spring, had stayed in the guest room and hadn’t come. Hence, Feng Yuan could only ask Big Cat for help. As for Agunas and Veronia? After glancing at the two Divine Beasts who were arguing again, Feng Yuan was too lazy to bother with them.

Looking at Xiao Ji next to him, Feng Yuan mischievously splashed water at it. In response, Xiao Ji let out a dissatisfied eagle cry and flapped its wings vigorously.

"What happened?!"

Hearing the commotion, a staff member rushed over in a fluster. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said with a beaming smile,

"It’s nothing, just playing around. We accidentally made a bit of a noise."

Seeing that the hot spring was only half full and water splashed everywhere, the staff member said helplessly,

"Please don’t use any ultimate moves here. We don’t have measures to prevent damage from such actions."

"Understood!"

After the staff member left, Feng Yuan immediately started scrubbing Xiao Ji’s head, grumbling,

"Look at you, how are we supposed to enjoy the bath this way?"

Xiao Ji glared at Feng Yuan, seemingly blaming him for if he hadn’t started it, this wouldn’t have happened. Agunas and Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and then turned away, continuing their debate which had moved from the topic of hot springs to various odd subjects.

"It’s truly a pity. If only you could join us in the hot spring too."

Back in the guest room, Feng Yuan said to Little Green Snake. Little Green Snake shook its head and continued to coil up, seemingly pondering something. Veronia sat on a specially made small bed, looking at Agunas. This bed was hastily made following Feng Yuan’s suggestion, as this place was different from regular inns.

Being part of a tourism and vacation area, it was natural to consider accommodations for guests’ Spirit Beasts, much like Cotton Orchid Manor, which had different specifications of beds for Spirit Beasts. In fact, most Beastmasters were quite particular about their Spirit Beasts’ resting environment. They could understand letting their Spirit Beasts find their own spot to rest due to space constraints in hotels.

However, for a tourist district’s inn, if treated similarly, they might not be satisfied. They would hope for their Beast Tamer Spirit Beasts to have a bed of their own too.

"It’s really just a first attempt; many things weren’t fully considered. In fact, you could consider dividing the outside into individual small courtyards connected to this place. After all, some Spirit Beasts, even though they can reduce their size, are still quite large and not suitable for staying indoors."

Feng Yuan looked out the window at the grassy area outside, which was merely decorated with a few plants and underutilized. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the staff member quickly noted it down. Agunas, looking a bit puzzled, said,

"Isn’t it better to just beautify the outside?"

"It’s different. If this place feels like a home, those Beastmasters might stay a few more days, or even see this as a place to unwind."

Veronia, brushing a glance at Agunas as if despising that he couldn’t even think of this, had the staff member hastily record her words. Feng Yuan, deep in thought, said,

"If it’s going to be like this, then they would need to offer interchangeable furniture. After all, everyone’s taste in style is different. But, if it’s well-done, it seems pretty good."

Although he wasn’t sure exactly how many people it would attract, it held significant appeal for him. Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and scoffed,

"If that’s the case, why not just turn it into detached residential housing? Wouldn’t that be better?"

"That seems possible, but the price..."

Feng Yuan was somewhat uncertain. Although using detached villas as high-end guest rooms isn’t unheard of, they are invariably very expensive. And while Beastmasters tend to be wealthy, they are not the type to throw money around if the environment doesn’t warrant the price.

"Even across the entire Alliance, not many hotels or guesthouses in various regions can manage this. The price is too high, and the demand on the surrounding environment is very high."

Agunas glanced at Veronia and said, the truth being, there weren’t many places even across the entire Alliance with hotels capable of such because most hotel surroundings didn’t justify it.

"Ah, is this the guy’s dorm?"

A young man with long blue hair walked into Feng Yuan’s dormitory and started talking to himself. Qi Chen, somewhat puzzled, looked at the newcomer with a wary expression,

"Who are you? What do you want?"

"Ha~ I’m just here to rest."

The young man sat on Feng Yuan’s bed and said, looking at Qi Chen with a smile,

"Are you his friend? Quite interesting. I thought you’d strike first."

Staring at the young man, Qi Chen signaled to Ah Mu not to act rashly. Although he didn’t know who the visitor was, he understood that the person was certainly no ordinary individual. From the look of it, the young man seemed to be searching for Feng Yuan, and anyone who knew anything about Feng Yuan understood just how powerful he truly was. An ordinary person wouldn’t act like this.

"What exactly are your intentions?"

Qi Chen watched vigilantly as the young man’s hand sneaked onto his phone, and the visitor chuckled,

"What? Looking for help?"

With a snap of his fingers, the surroundings were seemingly engulfed by seawater, shrouded in a layer of deep blue glimmer. At that moment, Liao Yu walked in, somewhat helplessly saying,

"Could you please not disturb the others?"

The young man glanced at Liao Yu and gave a bizarre smile, focusing back on Qi Chen,

"Can’t I even do an investigation?"

"This..."

"Who is he?"

Qi Chen looked suspiciously toward Liao Yu, who clearly knew his identity, but the young man put his finger to his lips and whispered,

"Shh, I’m observing him."

Ah Mu moved between Qi Chen and the young man, watching him warily, ready to act at any moment. Massaging his forehead, Liao Yu said helplessly,

"Would you not do this, please?"

"Guess, what am I here for?"

The young man looked at Qi Chen with a smile and after staring at him for a while, Qi Chen shook his head saying,

"I don’t know, but since you know him, you’re probably not an enemy."

Qi Chen gently patted Ah Mu to indicate that he need not be on guard anymore. He seemed to be losing interest in addressing the young man further. Liao Yu was slightly surprised, watching Qi Chen as the young man smiled slightly, continuing to stare at Qi Chen,

"Aren’t you going to guess who I am?"

"Special Bureau? Elder Council? Or something else? You must be someone he asked for help, right?"

Qi Chen said somewhat impatiently. Even though he couldn’t pinpoint the stranger’s origins, he could vaguely guess the purpose. Feng Yuan had mentioned calling someone to help protect Maomu City. As for his identity, Feng Yuan hadn’t specified, and Qi Chen couldn’t guess. Just then, Yanlan Dou walked in and, seeing the people in the room, asked confusedly,

"What is going on here?"

"This beautiful lady, perhaps you’d like to guess."

Seeing the young man turn toward Yanlan Dou, Qi Chen stood up, walked over to her, and shielded her from the young man,

"He’s here for Feng Yuan. Don’t bother with him."

"But, isn’t he at Fire Stronghold? So, this is the one he asked to watch over Maomu City...?"

Yanlan Dou looked puzzled, stepping around Qi Chen to look at the young man. At that moment, noticing Liao Yu nearby, Yanlan Dou asked curiously,

"Wait, are you in charge of receiving him?"

"This..."

Liao Yu seemed somewhat embarrassed, but Yanlan Dou, understanding something, chuckled lightly and said,

"Ah, that’s typical of him."

"You’ve figured out his identity?"

Qi Chen looked at Yanlan Dou, startled. She nodded toward Liao Yu,

"You can’t order him, can you?"

With a slightly guilty scratch of his face, Liao Yu murmured,

"Yes."

"So..."

Yanlan Dou smiled, facing the young man and slowly began to speak.
