Chapter 934: Chapter 935 Shopping

"Her family isn’t as terrible as you think," otherwise how could she flee to Maomu City for some peace?"

"It’s as if you’re saying Shangjing City is terrifying, but indeed, staying in Shangjing means you can’t escape those messy banquets and exchanges."

Zhong Liuyan silently glanced at Feng Yuan, then, agreeing with him, actually, if that weren’t the case, she wouldn’t have fled to Maomu City either. Seeing Pei Yu somewhat conflicted, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Do you lack confidence in Duomeng? Don’t forget, miracles are everywhere, who knows, maybe one day you’ll suddenly rise to great heights?"

"You speak lightly, we ordinary people..."

"If you’re really worried, you could go to the military. The borders won’t be quiet in the coming years, isn’t that the simplest way if you really want to achieve it without relying on her?"

"No!"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Zhong Liuyan next to him grabbed Pei Yu, calling out somewhat fearfully. It was precisely because the war was imminent that she didn’t wish for that. If Pei Yu were very strong, it would be one thing, but his ability in Maomu City was only considered strong among his peers, Pei Yu muttered something as if he was somewhat tempted.

"Please don’t go, okay? Promise me, until your strength is sufficient, don’t go, okay?"

Zhong Liuyan, pulling on Pei Yu, called out anxiously, seeing this, Feng Yuan then smiled and said,

"Look, considering so much now is also meaningless. In my opinion, you might as well develop step by step; they haven’t forced you, have they?"

"I..."

Pei Yu didn’t know how to answer, seeing Zhong Liuyan’s worried look made him feel pain, Feng Yuan yawned and said,

"I’ll leave first then~"

"I thought you would help him."

Agunas flicked its tail, looking at Feng Yuan with some confusion while he fed Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan looked at Agunas somewhat surprisingly and said,

"Why? How could you think that? Although I’m fairly close with him, it’s not to the extent of Qi Chen. His issue is clearly one of ability, how can I help?"

While it could have been a simple task for Feng Yuan, he didn’t just casually help anyone to that extent; he wasn’t that bored, even with Dou Yanlan, he only occasionally boosted Cotton’s strength.

"I thought you would help him out of camaraderie from being classmates."

"How could that be? His own strength isn’t weak, doing that might cause trouble instead."

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes silently, being careful even with Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan to avoid making them feel uncomfortable, since it could easily seem as though he was giving charity.

Lightly patting Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said,

"Let’s go, let’s head back."

Xiao Ji chirped joyfully as if agreeing, hating things like hot springs anyway, Veronia sitting on floating colorful bubbles looked at Feng Yuan and asked,

"Not going to play a little longer?"

"Forget it, haven’t we experienced everything there is to experience? I want to go to the department store to buy some clothes, how about you?"

Seemingly recalling something as she floated in mid-air on colorful bubbles, Veronia waved her little hand and said,

"I just want to check out that store, I wonder if there have been any new designs recently."

"Dresses, huh..."

"Why don’t you go on your own?"

Feng Yuan suggested to Veronia, who looked at him and said,

"Are you sure you don’t want to come? I can have a dress custom-made for you."

"No need, it’s unnecessary, if not the ritual robe, then the uniform will do."

Feng Yuan shook his head declining, Veronia looked down disappointedly, after Feng Yuan had informed the supervisor, he let Agunas open the Space Gate directly to the department store; Big Cat had to separate from Feng Yuan temporarily to check on his game, embracing Pomiti, Feng Yuan looked at Little Green Snake and said,

"Why don’t you head back first?"

He knew Little Green Snake definitely wasn’t in the mood to go shopping with him since it hadn’t achieved its own goal yet. Shaking its head, Little Green Snake made a hissing sound, which Agunas translated,

"It’s saying that it’s not in a hurry to attempt evolution for now, as it has figured things out and needs to relax a bit."

"Really? That’s great."

Feng Yuan said happily. Little Green Snake joyously wriggled its body. Its recent trials had led it to a viable evolution method, and moreover, it had a surprise waiting for Feng Yuan—provided the results of its evolution didn’t exceed its expectations.

"Why are there so many people? What’s going on?"

Feng Yuan peered in confusion at the dense crowd outside the department store, not understanding why there were so many people since today wasn’t a weekend and he hadn’t heard of any events happening there.

"Hey, you’re not here to participate in the selection too, are you?"

Hearing Liao Yu’s voice, Feng Yuan turned his head strangely and looked at Liao Yu, who was clad in casual wear, sizing up the Spirit Beast behind him,

"What are you doing here? Some special mission?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Liao Yu quickly scanned his surroundings and spoke in a low voice. After staring at Liao Yu for a while, Feng Yuan incredulously said,

"If you’re supposed to be ambushing a criminal, aren’t you a bit too conspicuous?"

Though Flame Wolfhounds weren’t uncommon among ordinary folk or even amongst Beastmasters, Liao Yu’s was exceptionally imposing, standing there with the practiced ease of intense training, easily betraying Liao Yu’s identity.

"Of course not, it’s just a security detail, but what exactly about me seems conspicuous?"

Liao Yu looked down at his casual outfit, puzzled. To improve his disguise, he had even gone to extra lengths to make it appear more casual. At that moment, Huo Feng walked over, glanced at Liao Yu, and said,

"What are you doing? Don’t take this chance to slack off."

"So, what exactly is going on with your terrible disguise skills?"

Feng Yuan, surprised, scrutinized Huo Feng and Liao Yu and said. If Liao Yu had been revealed by the Flame Wolfhound, what was the deal with the unmistakably unique aura of a special forces operative from Huo Feng? They might as well have worn uniforms.

"Look, I told you this just isn’t going to work."

"Did you guys discover something unusual? Are you here to participate in the selection?"

At that moment, Ye Hanlei walked over, and noticing Feng Yuan, said with some surprise, while Agunas flicked its tail,

"What exactly are you guys doing here? Haven’t those guys given up yet?"

Ye Hanlei had also changed her clothes, but perhaps considering her own demeanor, she had specifically opted for a sharp, business-like outfit that made her look like a corporate woman on a day off, which was a better disguise than the other two.

"No, we just can’t directly maintain order at the selection activity here, but you shouldn’t be interested, right?"

Ye Hanlei looked at Feng Yuan questioningly, knowing he wouldn’t typically be interested in such an activity. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said, puzzled,

"Is there an event here? I just wanted to buy some summer clothes."

"Sort of. The military seems to have decided to collaborate with educational institutions in Shangjing, Great Xia, and others nationwide for special selection activities. It doesn’t affect the normal college admissions quotas, but still, I always feel..."

"Preparing for an upcoming war?"

Feng Yuan instantly understood. Affairs involving the military could indeed only be of this nature. Huo Feng nodded and scanned the surroundings, saying,

"More or less, but apparently, the plan is to enhance the combat capabilities of the military. After all, if the powers we’d displayed before were a bit stronger, perhaps..."

"Hardly likely. Xingchan might not be taking the lead, but as long as Xingchan shares their goals, the inevitable battles will happen, unavoidable."

"Why?"

Liao Yu was puzzled, thinking it was just those nations thinking Great Xia was easy to bully or estimating they could overpower Great Xia if they joined forces. Why would Feng Yuan say this? He remembered Xingchan Country wasn’t exactly a major player, even among those opposed to Great Xia.

"Nierlat personally entered the fray, what do you think? It happened just a few days ago; Nierlat personally visited Xinmu City. What do you think that means?"

Feng Yuan said irritably. Regardless of Xingchan Country’s domestic strength, once a Divine Beast joined the fray, the nation’s power dynamically shifted. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Huo Feng narrowed his eyes, and Liao Yu, shocked, said,

"No way! How can that be!"
