Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1072 - 1073: A Short Rest and Plans

"Not bad~ The dumplings here taste pretty good~"

Looking at the plate of dumplings Feng Yuan held up to his face, Xiao Ji glanced at Agunas. Although it had seen Feng Yuan scooping them from his own bowl earlier, it was not certain whether he had switched them out on the way to prank it. Agunas, eating dumplings while holding his bowl, noticed Xiao Ji’s gaze and, with an exasperated look at Feng Yuan, said,

"Did you give it the Spirit Beast flavor or the human one?"

"Ugh! So annoying, of course, it’s the Spirit Beast kind."

Feng Yuan pouted, slightly regretful, as he had intended to tease Xiao Ji, but his plan did not work. Agunas gave Feng Yuan a silent look, his expression saying it all, and with a swish of his tail, Agunas said,

"Can you stop using it for fun all the time? Look at what you’ve caused now."

Xiao Ji nodded in agreement, especially since that guy always used food to bully it, which was utterly detestable. Can Can scratched his head as Feng Yuan said,

"I just thought it was funny... Alright, alright, I won’t use your food to tease you anymore, okay?"

Standing aside, Qi Chen observed Feng Yuan without calling him out. It wasn’t the first time he said this, but in the end, he would still bully Xiao Ji. Glancing behind at Wood, Qi Chen asked softly,

"Do you want to try some? It tastes pretty good."

After thinking it over, Wood nodded. Although silent, its body gently swayed, and the rustling of leaves on the canopy seemed to prove its good mood. With a slight smile, Qi Chen stood up and ordered a plate of Spirit Beast flavored dumplings at the service counter.

"What’s wrong? Don’t like to eat?"

Qi Xiaoshuang looked puzzled at the White Shadow Wolf sitting at the table. It was frowning with its little paws scratching at the dumpling plate in front of it but refusing to eat. Shaking its tail, the White Shadow Wolf looked at Qi Xiaoshuang with a face full of grievance, leaving her somewhat baffled since she hadn’t given it human-flavored food like Feng Yuan did.

With a plaintive howl, the White Shadow Wolf lay on the table, its paws clutching the plate, staring intently at the dumplings without taking a bite. Qi Xiaoshuang thought for a moment and said,

"Do you want me to feed you? That’s really..."

Feng Yuan glanced at the dumplings in front of the White Shadow Wolf and chuckled,

"No, are you trying to change its diet? How could it like pure vegetarian dumplings?"

Qi Xiaoshuang was taken aback before realizing what she had ordered, and with her cheeks blushing, she quickly picked up the plate of dumplings and placed it in front of Wood, saying,

"Help me with this."

"Hey!"

Qi Chen looked speechlessly at Qi Xiaoshuang. Was she treating Wood like a big eater? But Pure vegetarian dumplings were not a problem after all, since Wood, as a vegetarian Spirit Beast, didn’t particularly like to have meat in its diet - similar to the White Shadow Wolf. The latter wasn’t against eating vegetables, but if there was no meat, it was less interested in food.

"Speaking of which, is Xiao Ji vegetarian or omnivorous?"

After ordering the dumplings, Qi Xiaoshuang returned and curiously asked Feng Yuan. She had seen Feng Yuan feeding Xiao Ji all sorts of things; normally bird Spirit Beasts should be either vegetarian or carnivorous, right? Xiao Ji, who was pecking at the dumplings, stopped and looked up at Qi Xiaoshuang with some confusion, not quite understanding what she was saying.

"Omnivorous, or rather, it eats and likes everything."

Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji and replied nonchalantly. The White Shadow Wolf didn’t not eat vegetables, but unless it was very hungry, it wouldn’t choose to eat a purely vegetarian meal. The same was true for Wood, and as for Xiao Ji? That guy was happy to eat anything, which made sense, considering Xiao Ji was a Divine Beast and naturally wouldn’t be constrained by a diet.

Thinking this, Feng Yuan glanced at Veronia who was eating his food. After transforming into a human form, she had ordered a plate of human-flavored dumplings for herself and was enjoying them. Noticing Feng Yuan’s gaze, Veronia looked at him with some confusion and asked,

"What’s the matter? Is there something?"

"No~"

As expected, as soon as a new plate of pork dumplings arrived at the table, the White Shadow Wolf quickly guarded its dumplings and started eating them with relish. Seeing this, Feng Yuan said with some confusion,

"Does it taste much better if it’s the Spirit Beast flavor?"

"What are you up to..."

Qi Chen speechlessly glanced at Feng Yuan. Was that guy really thinking of competing with the White Shadow Wolf for its food? But that was food tailored to the taste of Spirit Beasts; humans wouldn’t find it tasty either.

"I think, maybe I could give it a try?"

Licking his lips, Feng Yuan looked a bit intrigued as he spoke. Xiao Ji lifted its head to glance at Feng Yuan, chirped a few times, then continued burying its head in its own food. Agunas translated on the side,

"It’s saying the taste is just average, you won’t like it, and I didn’t find this stuff particularly delicious either."

Agunas shook its tail; its bowl of dumplings had been finished long ago. The taste was, at best, alright. As to why the White Shadow Wolf seemed to be enjoying its food so much, Agunas wasn’t too clear on that either. Of course, if Feng Yuan really wanted to try, Agunas wouldn’t stop him. There was no need to.

That guy, like the Divine Beasts, could change form, turning into a Spirit Beast just as Veronia could transform into a human. There wouldn’t be a problem for him to experience the taste buds of a Spirit Beast.

"Just average... then never mind."

Looking at the White Shadow Wolf, Feng Yuan said with a bit of disappointment. As for whether Xiao Ji was deceiving him? He didn’t think Xiao Ji would do such a thing, besides, Agunas had no reason to lie to him either.

"There aren’t any snacks around."

After wandering around the Fu Yun District for a bit, Feng Yuan said with some disappointment. Although those little shops sold all sorts of things, there were hardly any that sold specialty snacks. They were all just selling things like barbecue.

"That’s pretty normal. The shops that are really good and distinctive either go near the alleyways around the big library or to the department stores. Here is mainly about selling staples."

Qi Xiaoshuang didn’t find it strange at all. She herself could tell that the foot traffic here wasn’t high, even less than the number of tourists at the nearby plaza. In such a place, small eats of decent quality would likely choose to move to a location with better traffic, leaving behind, at most, just some staple foods.

"What a pity... So where shall we go for fun now? The amusement park doesn’t seem to have anything particularly interesting."

"How about we go to the department store? Buy some little trinkets or something? There’s still a bit of space in my room, and my brother’s room is even more so."

Qi Xiaoshuang said while giving Qi Chen a somewhat disdainful glance, then turned to look at Qi Xiaoshuang. Qi Chen helplessly turned his head and said,

"I’m not interested in decking out my room with all those fancy things. It’s pretty good as it is right now."

"That doesn’t matter, my room still lacks a lot of decorations. I didn’t have time before, but now it’s a good opportunity to take a look, how about that?"

Seeing Qi Xiaoshuang asking him, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"That doesn’t seem too bad, my room does feel a bit empty..."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly, not knowing how to describe this guy. Although his room didn’t have any decorations, just furniture, everything was neatly arranged. Feng Yuan’s room, however, was different; he had crammed a bunch of random stuff into it. Although it was still fairly tidy, it didn’t seem remotely empty. Even Qi Xiaoshuang’s room didn’t have as many strange things as his.

"You call that empty?"

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said, then chuckled,

"Why can’t it be? Isn’t it considered empty if it’s not stuffed full?"

"And I need to find a new sleeping place for Kong Qing, the previous one won’t do anymore."

Kong Qing used to sleep right underneath the table; even though he had prepared a small basket for it, the space was still not big. Now that Kong Qing had evolved and grown so much in size, it naturally couldn’t continue to sleep under the table. Kong Qing, who had been silently following behind Feng Yuan and observing their surroundings, hissed. Agunas translated,

"It says it’s not necessary; it can just find any empty spot to sleep."

"How can that be okay? They all have their nests; you must have one too!"

Feng Yuan said decisively, and Kong Qing looked at Feng Yuan, swept its tail on the ground, but did not object again. Judging by his demeanor, it was clear that objecting was futile, though it didn’t really care much about where it slept. After all, when it was in the wild, didn’t it just sleep wherever it wanted?

"Then it’s decided, let’s go to the department store~"

Feng Yuan said and then seemed to remember something, glanced at Qi Chen and said,

"By the way, let’s add some strange things to your empty room~"

"Hey!"
