Chapter 998: Chapter 999 Personality

"Xiao Ji, it’s such a shame you didn’t come to play."

Putting the water gun down carelessly, Feng Yuan laughed as he spoke to Xiao Ji, who dodged Feng Yuan’s river-water soaked hand with a dissatisfied chirp. Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Didn’t you forget it really doesn’t like getting wet?"

"No, I didn’t forget, but actually, those splashes of water aren’t affecting it much now, right?"

Trying to ruffle Xiao Ji’s head again, it deftly avoided Feng Yuan’s hand and cried out at him angrily with a screech. Seeing that Xiao Ji seemed genuinely upset, Feng Yuan, his smile shining, apologized to it while Yun You approached Xiao Ji and whispered something to it. Hearing Yun You’s words, Xiao Ji glanced from time to time at Feng Yuan, who was drying his hair with a towel and didn’t notice Xiao Ji’s peculiar behavior.

After a bit, Yun You took out the grilled fish that had been kept warm on the barbecue grill and, as she plated it, said to everyone,

"Who’s hungry? After playing for so long, you must be."

"I’m curious to see what it turns out like."

Approaching with a skeptical look, Cen Chudie was about to grab a piece of fish when she saw Yun You simply staring at her without a word, she raised her hands, saying guiltily,

"Alright, alright, I’ll wash my hands. Happy now?"

"Seriously, the river water is so clean..."

Cen Chudie complained while washing her hands and cast a covert glance at Feng Yuan, who was locked in a battle of wits with Yun You and sighed. Qi Chen, somewhat puzzled, asked,

"Why is she so concerned about this stuff?"

Although he didn’t find anything wrong, Yun You seemed a bit too focused on these details. At least from his perspective, if it were his own parents, they wouldn’t say half as much at this time. Cen Chudie chuckled and said,

"No helping it, those are all mother-in-law’s requirements. Except, she doesn’t even follow those rules herself every time. Her... well..."

Sighing, Cen Chudie continued,

"The mother-in-law sometimes regrets it, too. She gave her too many demands to begin with, and now she feels guilty for how things have turned out. Yet, even though she realizes it, changing her ways would be difficult because she’s already so used to it..."

"Why would the mother-in-law be so strict?"

Curious, Qi Chen wondered as Cen Chudie stealthily glanced at Yun You and whispered, seeing that Yun You’s attention was all on Feng Yuan,

"Because she was adopted by mother-in-law... Initially, mother-in-law brought her up to be her own successor. But by the time she realized she had been too harsh, it was already too late."

"Adopted..."

Qi Chen paused, having thought that Yun You was just working here, never realizing it was like this. Cen Chudie laughed softly and said,

"Yeah, I was quite shocked when I first found out."

"You really are..."

Yun You looked at Feng Yuan with some dissatisfaction, but in the end, she couldn’t make him go wash his hands. He picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, saying,

"After all, we’re using chopsticks, so what’s the difference? Besides, didn’t I wash my hands earlier?"

Yun You looked at Feng Yuan without saying a word. Seeing how she acted, Feng Yuan felt somewhat guilty and ate silently, occasionally sneaking glances at Yun You. After a while, Yun You couldn’t hold back a chuckle and said,

"Okay, I’m not mad, it’s just..."

She hesitated, recalling what grandmother told her. Although she knew she tended to be overly meticulous about trivial things, she always thought about changing, but each time, she would forget. Feng Yuan glanced at Yun You and asked,

"So how will you..."

"You don’t think I’m too harsh, do you?"

Hearing this, Feng Yuan looked at her puzzledly and said,

"No, not at all. Sure, you care about a lot, but it’s nothing serious."

"But I..."

"Don’t worry, if it were really bad, wouldn’t they tell you?"

Feng Yuan smiled, turning toward Cen Chudie, who said speechlessly after hearing Feng Yuan’s words,

"What do you mean ’wouldn’t they tell you’? It’s not easy for her to change, you know? It’s become a habit."

"That’s true."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said to Yun You,

"Actually, I think... this is nothing to fret about, isn’t it? That’s not something unacceptable, right?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Cen Chudie said,

"Then you go wash your hands again, no! How about you take a bath to stay clean?"

Feng Yuan, speechless, glanced at Cen Chudie and said,

"Yun You just pays special attention to the details. What’s that got to do with taking a bath? It’s not like it’s a mania."

"Hehe~ This hand feels the best~"

Feng Yuan, holding a Cotton Orchid baby proudly, said, while Xiao Ji, with a glare that seemed somewhat angry at Feng Yuan, stood beside. In her human form, Veronia, holding a parasol, observed the group of Cotton Orchid Spirit Beasts. Big Cat squeezed next to Feng Yuan and meowed, seemingly acting coy. Feng Yuan playfully shook his head as he poked Big Cat’s belly and saw it quickly shrink away.

Placing the Cotton Orchid baby on Big Cat’s head, Feng Yuan approached Xiao Ji and extended his hand to gently stroke its feathers. The bird glanced at him and turned its head away, as if to say, "I’m angry." Smiling, Feng Yuan patted Xiao Ji’s back gently and said,

"How about you take me for a flight in the sky?"

Xiao Ji looked back at Feng Yuan, who had now turned into a Little Husky, and with a happy smile, the Little Husky clung onto Xiao Ji’s back. Digging its claws into the ground, Xiao Ji let out a loud eagle cry and took to the sky with the Little Husky on its back.

"You really are awful."

Watching Veronia stack the Cotton Orchid babies into a pyramid, Agunas said in disbelief. Veronia glanced at Agunas and said,

"What are you talking about, Little Crocodile?"

Glaring at Veronia, Agunas said with some anger,

"Are you treating them as toys?!"

Veronia looked at Agunas with a slight smile and replied,

"So what if I am?"

"You!"

At that moment, the Cotton Orchid babies fell and gathered around Veronia, looking at Agunas curiously. Seeing this, Veronia triumphantly said to Agunas,

"See~ They like me more~"

"What are they doing?"

Qi Chen, who was busy herding the Cotton Orchid Spirit Beasts to the other side of the grassland, asked Cen Chudie with some confusion. She glanced at the students engaged in a teamwork game and said,

"I think they’re training. Sometimes I don’t understand what they’re up to either."

"I can handle these matters myself; you can go with him... strange, where did he disappear to?"

Cen Chudie looked around with some confusion, seeing no trace of Feng Yuan anywhere. Only Yun You was seen busily herding the Cotton Orchid Spirit Beasts elsewhere, as their team leader had just come over saying they needed to use that grassland, so they were planning to move the Spirit Beasts to another location.

"He’s probably up in the sky..."

Although Qi Chen had not seen Feng Yuan transform into the Little Husky, seeing Xiao Ji circling in the sky gave him a good guess. Knowing Xiao Ji, it would not fly up there without reason; it must be because that guy had transformed into a doggy shape and was hanging on Xiao Ji’s back.

Looking up at the sky with some bewilderment, Cen Chudie said,

"In the sky? But Xiao Ji shouldn’t be able to carry him while flying, should it?"

Though Xiao Ji was half a person tall, carrying an adult while flying would be a bit of a stretch. Scanning the endlessly circling Xiao Ji in the sky, Qi Chen said,

"That guy can transform. Turning into a small dog, he can be carried by Xiao Ji. He’s done that before when Xiao Ji first evolved."

"Transform? Right, werewolves can do it, so turning into a little dog shouldn’t be a problem."

Having heard Qi Chen’s explanation, it didn’t take long for Cen Chudie to catch on. Feng Yuan had previously transformed into a werewolf while fishing. Even though most people lack such a transformative ability, it was not unheard of. Thinking back, Cen Chudie looked at Qi Chen and asked,

"But won’t that affect him? I remember there are usually side effects to those transformations."

Most beast transformations would cause the user to be influenced by the respective animal’s instincts, so even if they had the ability, people rarely used it out of fear of the effects. After some thought, Qi Chen shook his head and said,

"I’m not sure, but I haven’t noticed any changes in him."

That guy’s transformation into a Husky wasn’t a first; indeed, there didn’t seem to be any noticeable changes. Even when turned into a Little Husky, his personality seemed the same as his human form, or at least, Qi Chen hadn’t detected any differences.
