Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1184 - 1185: Photo

"You two..."

Turning around, Feng Yuan speechlessly glanced at Veronia and Agunas. How did these two start bickering out of the blue again? Lorna, perched on Feng Yuan’s shoulder, gently tapped his cheek and pointed in a direction.

"Over there."

Following the direction Lorna was pointing, the group just happened to see a flock of birds take flight from the wheat field. A black cat suddenly darted out, startling everyone. Seeing the black cat circling around Dou Yanlan, Feng Yuan said with some surprise,

"This... looks like just an ordinary cat, right?"

The black cat meowed and rubbed its head against Dou Yanlan’s pant leg, eyeing Cotton closely in Dou Yanlan’s arms, then swished its tail. Cotton let out a disdainful sound and rubbed its head against Dou Yanlan too.

"This cat... really has some nerve."

Seeing this, Feng Yuan exclaimed in amazement. Although Cotton might look no different from an ordinary cat, Cotton is a bona fide Spirit Beast, while that black cat was just an ordinary cat. Indeed, in this world, not only Spirit Beasts exist—ordinary animals do too. However, because everyone has Beast Tamer partners, very few people choose to keep ordinary animals as pets.

Ordinary animals, faced with Spirit Beasts, inevitably feel the influence of the aura emitted by Spirit Beasts, much like how Ordinary Spirit Beasts are uncomfortable with the presence of Divine Beasts. As such, ordinary animals tend not to like getting close to Spirit Beasts, because that unconsciously emitted aura can make them feel uneasy.

"It must be one of the animals raised here, accustomed to the aura of Spirit Beasts through constant contact,"

Dou Yanlan said with a smile as she crouched down, teasing the black cat. Cotton watched the black cat trying to ingratiate itself, obviously displeased. With a swat of its tail, it seemed to want to drive the black cat away. Dou Yanlan chuckled softly and gently stroked Cotton’s head. As she looked up, Cotton suddenly licked Dou Yanlan’s palm with its tiny tongue.

Perhaps because Cotton paid no attention to it, or maybe because it spotted something else of interest, the black cat suddenly dashed into the wheat field and vanished from sight.

"Tsk! Completely ignored me, you know? You just lost a huge opportunity,"

Feng Yuan complained, looking at the direction where the black cat disappeared. Agunas gave Feng Yuan a sidelong glance and swished its tail saying,

"You better not mess around; those things can get complicated if overdone."

How could it not guess what opportunity Feng Yuan was referring to? For that mere ordinary black cat, the only thing that could be considered a huge opportunity would be becoming a Spirit Beast. But Feng Yuan didn’t have the power to turn an ordinary animal into a Spirit Beast. Therefore, the only possibility was the qualification he possessed to bestow Authority of Divine Beasts.

But even Xiao Ji and Kong Qing are Spirit Beasts, so it made some sense, but turning an ordinary animal like the black cat into a Divine Beast in one fell swoop? It had no idea what might happen, but trouble was most likely to ensue.

"Pfft, what could possibly go wrong."

Feng Yuan said disdainfully as he turned around. By now, the group had taken a walk around the golden wheat field, and Feng Yuan’s camera contained many new photos. Looking at the waiter handing back the camera and the developed photos to Feng Yuan, Qi Chen said speechlessly,

"How many cameras did you bring with you?"

After taking a few shots, the guy would have the waiter develop the photos, and then he’d whip out a new camera and carry on shooting. Qi Chen tried to recall and realized that Feng Yuan seemed to have brought out a total of five cameras. He wondered why on earth Feng Yuan had brought so many cameras.

Hearing Qi Chen’s question, Feng Yuan tried to remember and said,

"Seems like I have twelve cameras of this model and plenty more of other models. Don’t worry, definitely enough~"

"You..."

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan, not sure what to say. Lorna, holding the freshly developed photos, seemed a bit excited. The photo was a group shot with Feng Yuan and the others. In addition to this one she was looking at, there were extra copies for Lorna of all the photos that included her. Clutching those photos tightly, Lorna carefully stashed them away in her space, making sure they were well placed. Then, after some thought, Lorna seemed to find it still not secure enough, adding even more protection to the area where the photos were kept in her space.

"Speaking of which, why did you print them out?"

Looking at the photos that included himself, Qi Chen asked Feng Yuan, somewhat puzzled. Feng Yuan’s camera used a memory card for storage, not film. In an era where almost everyone owned a smartphone, wouldn’t it just be easier to send the digital photos directly to them?

Glancing at Lorna, Feng Yuan said,

"Lorna doesn’t have a smartphone, and since it was part of the photoshoot, naturally it should have its own copy, right?"

While Xiao Ji and the others did have smartphones—gifts from Feng Yuan—Lorna was different. Perhaps Gladys never considered that Lorna could use a smartphone, after all, it wasn’t exactly mainstream for Spirit Beasts to make use of smartphones. At least not many of Feng Yuan’s classmates’ Divine Beasts played with smartphones, let alone owned one.

Upon looking at Feng Yuan again, Qi Chen didn’t say much more. In fact, neither Ah Mu nor Cotton had their own smartphones. They weren’t like Feng Yuan, who always thought of strange things to give his Divine Beasts. However, perhaps it was about time to prepare a smartphone for Ah Mu? This thought quietly crossed Qi Chen’s mind.

As for why he printed a copy for everyone? That part was simple. It wouldn’t do to just prepare printed photos for Lorna and send digital photos to the others, would it? That way, Lorna might feel excluded.

"Thank you..."

Lorna understood this as well. It was aware that Xiao Ji and the others had their own smartphones. Although not all had them, it was obvious that Pomiti and Little Ice Cream wouldn’t be able to use smartphones either. It was clear that Feng Yuan had prepared a copy for everyone, taking Lorna’s feelings into account.

It’s just that Lorna’s voice was too soft, and with Feng Yuan busy chatting with Qi Chen, he didn’t hear Lorna’s gratitude. Veronia, holding a parasol in one hand and looking at the photos in the other, also had her own smartphone and had taken plenty of pictures with it, many featuring Agunas’s embarrassing shots. But there was something different about holding the physical photos in her hands.

It seemed those photos could also be printed—wondering what reaction Little Crocodile would have upon seeing its ’glamour’ shots, Veronia thought to herself as she remembered those sneak shots she had taken, while Agunas felt a chill down his spine and eyed Veronia with suspicion.

Just like Veronia, Agunas had gradually developed the ability to sense Veronia’s ’malice’. Whenever she intended to do something to him, he would get a feeling. But now, what was she planning? Shaking its tail, Agunas frowned slightly.

Little Ice Cream, on Feng Yuan’s shoulder, seemed to be restlessly swaying side to side, apparently complaining about something. After failing to console Little Ice Cream, Feng Yuan looked helplessly at Agunas and asked,

"What’s up with Little Ice Cream?"

Casting a glance at Little Ice Cream, Agunas said irritably,

"It wants a smartphone, because Xiao Ji and the others have them, but it doesn’t."

As for Pomiti? Even Little Ice Cream didn’t care about that, seeing as Pomiti hardly ever had a coherent will of its own, and its simple mind was perhaps only slightly more advanced than the black cat’s from before. No, it may not even be as smart as that black cat.

Even if Feng Yuan gave Pomiti a smartphone, it was doubtful whether it could use it, let alone keep from losing it all the time.

"Really now, how would you even use a smartphone?"

Looking at Little Ice Cream on his shoulder, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but laugh and say. Xiao Ji even had to transform into its Eggshell Chicken form to use its phone, let alone Little Ice Cream who lacked hands. The Spirit Beast’s Telekinesis wouldn’t support it in performing delicate operations. Other than as a decorative item, what else could it do with a smartphone?

Moreover, Feng Yuan didn’t want to make a special trip to the smartphone store just for it. Otherwise, he feared that Xiao Ji might start seeing Little Ice Cream as its number one enemy. If they started quarreling at home, Feng Yuan would have a headache.

Sighing, Feng Yuan could only ignore the Little Ice Cream throwing a tantrum on his shoulder. He didn’t want Xiao Ji and Little Ice Cream to repeat the scene from when Dreaming Dragon Baby was around. Not to mention that Little Ice Cream’s strength was far inferior to Xiao Ji’s and they were now living at his home, how would he cope if they started to fight and tear the house apart?

Though he could use time reversal to fix it, that was always a hassle, right?
