Chapter 992: Chapter 993: The Special Car

"I certainly don’t have your confidence, plus if I really did that, my mom and brother would never stop nagging."

Qi Xiaoshuang glanced at Qi Chen and said. Although she considered herself a genius girl, she wouldn’t dare compare herself to Feng Yuan, heaven knows what’s up with that guy, knowing so much. She figured he could probably even teach the teachers at the academy. She chuckled as Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"Weren’t you the one who claimed to be a genius girl? Would such a trivial matter affect you?"

"Although I don’t think it’s a big deal, he certainly wouldn’t see it that way."

Qi Xiaoshuang said with a look of resignation, while Qi Chen, a bit angrily, said back,

"Don’t you dare skip class on a whim! And you, don’t lead Xiao Shuang astray!"

Seeing that Qi Chen seemed to be getting angry, Feng Yuan quickly pleaded for mercy.

"Do you have to be like this?"

Agunas watched somewhat speechlessly as Veronia, now in human form and dressed in an exquisite gown, followed Feng Yuan and the others into Jufu Tower. Turning to gaze at Agunas, Veronia said with a contemptuous smile,

"What’s the matter? Little Crocodile, are you jealous?"

Agunas held back, deciding not to engage with her, not wanting to provoke Gitalien at this time. Catching a glimpse of Agunas, Veronia proceeded to sway her hips and slowly follow along with Feng Yuan and the rest.

Inside the private room, Qi Chen’s parents had already arrived earlier. Seeing Feng Yuan come in, Qi Chen’s father stood up as if he wanted to do something but hesitated for a long time before simply standing there and saying to Feng Yuan,

"Thank you for the matter before."

Feng Yuan smiled and didn’t say much more. Seeing her father after a long time, Qi Xiaoshuang threw herself into his arms, happily chattering about something. Qi Chen’s mother was sitting there, smiling and watching everything unfold. Qi Chen pulled out a chair and sat down to discuss the assessment details with his mother. Veronia and Agunas started arguing over drinks again, and after placing Pomiti and Little Ice Cream on the table, Feng Yuan stroked Xiao Ji’s feathers and discussed the plans for the evening with her. Hearing Feng Yuan mention Cotton Orchid Manor, Qi Chen quickly inquired with his parents.

Qi Chen’s father considered for a moment then said,

"You can go by yourselves, we won’t intrude on your fun. You could invite your little girlfriend along. After all, the assessment is over, and you’re about to graduate. There are some things, if missed, you won’t have another chance to regret."

Hearing his father’s words, Qi Chen, his face turning red, said in a low voice,

"Yanlan also has her own things to do, and... we’ve all made plans..."

Qi Chen’s mother, slightly amused, nudged her husband as if to say something. He cleared his throat and said,

"We don’t understand these matters, just do as you see fit."

"And you are?"

At that moment, they noticed Veronia, who was still arguing with Agunas. Seeing the golden-haired woman dressed in a lavish gown, Qi Chen’s parents were puzzled, considering she seemed to have come with Qi Chen and the others, but they didn’t recall hearing about friends from other regions.

Agunas glanced at Veronia with annoyance and said,

"Don’t bother with her."

"Little Crocodile!"

Veronia said with a smile, sounding fiercely amused, and Feng Yuan, watching the resuming argument between Agunas and Veronia, said,

"That’s Veronia, um... a Divine Beast without a designated region at the moment."

"I belong to the World of Mirrors, not a Divine Beast without a home."

Veronia replied to Feng Yuan with a glance and then continued to bicker with Agunas. Witnessing this scene, Qi Chen’s parents had smiles on their faces, but they were also visibly nervous. After all, having two Divine Beasts bickering in front of them was worrisome because if they were to start fighting, ordinary people had no means to resist the powers of a Divine Beast’s ultimate move.

"Do they really argue all the time? Don’t you think of doing something about it?"

Qi Xiaoshuang said with surprise as she looked at Agunas and Veronia, not quite believing what Qi Chen had told her. It seemed preposterous that these two Divine Beasts argued anywhere and anytime. Feng Yuan shrugged helplessly and said,

"There’s nothing I can do about that, and I can’t very well demand that they not argue, can I?"

Fortunately, Veronia and Agunas seemed to have heeded Gitalien’s warning. They kept quiet, at least without causing another brawl in the Starry Sky. At mealtime, Qi Xiaoshuang watched with some surprise as Veronia elegantly ate her food. Noticing Qi Xiaoshuang’s gaze, Veronia appeared puzzled but didn’t ask aloud.

Feng Yuan wanted to play a prank, but upon seeing everyone consciously avoiding the food he piled on his plate, it seemed he understood something and silently gave up that idea.

"Actually got a car?"

When preparing to head back, Feng Yuan thought they’d take the bus home. To his astonishment, Qi Chen’s father said he would drive, leaving Qi Chen also somewhat puzzled as he looked toward his mother. He didn’t remember their family owning a car, seeing as his father was often out of the house and his mother couldn’t drive. So they never considered buying one before.

Qi Xiaoshuang thought for a moment and said,

"Could it be a giveaway? But does Dad have a driver’s license?"

Never having seen her father drive, she genuinely doubted whether he even had a license. The last thing they needed was illegal driving and all the trouble that came with it. Qi Chen looked at Qi Xiaoshuang with a speechless expression and said,

"Do you think Dad is that unreliable?"

Seeing Qi Chen’s gaze sneaking a look at him, Feng Yuan immediately got a bit upset and retorted,

"What’s that supposed to mean? Am I unreliable?"

"You’d totally drive without a license."

Agunas, chiming in from the side, knew Feng Yuan well enough to say that if he really did get his hands on a car, he wouldn’t think twice about whether he had a license or not. He’d just drive. As for the question of whether he could start and properly operate the vehicle? There was no doubt about it; the guy could handle almost any mode of transportation with ease.

"Pff! Aren’t the Space Gate and buses good enough? Why bother driving?"

Feng Yuan spoke with a carefree attitude, prompting a silent stare from Agunas who then said,

"Is that really so?"

It was skeptical, feeling like Feng Yuan was just talking big. If there truly was a car at his disposal, he’d probably forget all his declarations and just drive around wildly, wouldn’t he? Glancing at Agunas, Feng Yuan responded with a bit of annoyance,

"I’m not fixated on that thing. Besides, Xiao Ji can fly me around, right? Why would I need to drive?"

"Flying at will within the city is prohibited..."

Qi Chen expressed some helplessness about Feng Yuan’s reckless attitude. Within the city limits, other than those with special permissions, taming beasts to fly at will was not allowed, unless they were wild Spirit Beasts. However, even then, larger-sized ones would be discouraged and warned not to roam freely within human cities. Only Divine Beasts like those from Lorraine Tower could roam without concern for human considerations, though they usually didn’t venture into human cities without reason.

"So what, just pretend Xiao Ji is a wild Spirit Beast, right?"

Feng Yuan said nonchalantly. Qi Chen glanced at him, speechless. True, Feng Yuan could transform into a small dog and hang onto Xiao Ji, roughly passing for a wild Spirit Beast at first glance. However...

"Xiao Ji has such a distinctive appearance, do you think everyone is a fool?"

Agunas shot an annoyed look at Feng Yuan. The Special Duty Team members all knew Xiao Ji by its unique features. Seeing that appearance, they’d immediately recognize Xiao Ji, and there was no chance they would let him get by.

"Get in."

Just then, a rugged SUV pulled up and stopped in front of them. Qi Chen’s father poked his head out of the window and called to everyone. Qi Xiaoshuang spoke in surprise,

"Dad, where did you get this car?"

Feng Yuan circled the vehicle, clicking his tongue in admiration,

"They’re quite generous to lend this out, huh? Is this one of the security team’s vehicles?"

"Just temporarily borrowing it for the ride, not allowed to take it outside the city."

Qi Chen’s father said calmly, seemingly indifferent to the situation. Qi Chen paused, somewhat in disbelief,

"This is one of the security team’s cars?"

"Can’t you tell by the license plate? Who else would have such special plates other than the security team?"

Feng Yuan pointed to the car’s license plate as he spoke. Qi Chen’s father remained silent, showing no particular interest in the topic. Feng Yuan knew that the likely reason he borrowed the car was because of the security team vehicle’s protective features. Otherwise, given the man’s character...
