Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1221 - 1222: Invitation
Chapter 1221: Chapter 1222: Invitation
"Would you like to travel with us in a couple of days?"
Extending its front paw, Little Husky invited Belusir with a smile. Glancing at Little Husky, Belusir tilted his head with some doubt and said,
"Why? Don’t humans prefer to travel alone?"
"Who says that! It’s obviously more fun to go out and play together~ Wanna join us?"
"This..."
"Don’t pry into fate; simply see yourself as an ordinary Spirit Beast, for that responsibility is already the easiest for you. You don’t need to trouble yourself more; it will only cause you distress."
"Not prying into fate..."
Murmuring to himself, Belusir fell into deep thought. Strictly speaking, what Feng Yuan said was not without sense. The River of Fate itself did not attract enemies as easily as the River of Time did, and its prying into fate was more out of an unwillingness to see his friends encounter misfortune. But, could he truly restrain himself?
Doubtfully gazing at Little Husky, Belusir hesitated and then asked,
"If one doesn’t pry into fate or the future, then... should your friends encounter something..."
"So what if they do? Not prying into the future doesn’t mean we can’t help them. Even if we saw the future, what could we do? To change the future without any cost is nothing but a delusion."
Saying this, Little Husky flicked its tail and sighed,
"I’ve seen the future of my friends before, afraid that they might encounter something bad because of me. But in the end, I gave up. No matter what, someone will always get hurt. If so, it’s better to face it head on. No amount of preparation can beat the accidents that lurk everywhere."
Watching Little Husky for a long while, Belusir let out a soft sigh and said,
"I want to try as well, to see if I can really alleviate some of the burden... as you said."
Watching Belusir, Little Husky opened its mouth in a grinning smile and stretched out its paw.
"Did you really pry into the future before?"
Filled with curiosity, Agunas asked, while the white cat Belusir quietly followed behind Feng Yuan, seemingly lost in thought. As a Divine Beast tasked with maintaining the stability of the River of Fate, Belusir, in reality, had little to do most of the time; after all, under normal circumstances, there wouldn’t be any anomalies in the River of Fate.
Due to their previous separation from Big Cat, Feng Yuan had reverted to his original form. He had initially wanted Xiao Ji to rest on his head in the form of an Eggshell Chicken, but she had decisively refused. Little Ice Cream took the opportunity to claim the throne once reserved for Xiao Ji. Hearing Agunas’s question, Veronia looked at Feng Yuan with curiosity. It was equally interested, as it was something Feng Yuan had done in the past.
Feng Yuan sighed softly, looking up at the night sky and said,
"Of course, when I first awakened, I didn’t really care about anything, and I might have stayed there until the end if she hadn’t barged in at that time."
"That was also the time I most abused my ability to observe the future. Each time, I would encounter various accidents; to deal with them, everyone was injured to varying degrees. It was then that I realized observing the future was actually the most useless ability."
With a warm smile, Feng Yuan paused and continued,
"It’s just a pity that I realized it too late, and that battle... there was no choice."
"Big Cat? Where’s Feng Yuan?"
At the small tea house, Qi Chen, who was drinking tea and chatting with Yanlan and the others, asked with some confusion upon seeing Big Cat and Kong Qing return alone. Usually, apart from maintaining the game in the Data Domain, Big Cat was always with Feng Yuan. Why was it now Big Cat and Kong Qing returning by themselves?
As for Feng Yuan encountering an accident? This possibility was unlikely. With Agunas and Veronia at his side, even if he had some problem and lost his Combat Power, those two Divine Beasts would be enough to handle most situations. Not to mention, if they took action, the commotion would be felt by everyone in town.
Big Cat was meowing and gesturing, but without anyone to translate, Qi Chen could not understand what it was saying. Yanlan, however, seemed to guess something and smiled, beckoning Big Cat and the others over, saying,
"Come and have some food while we wait for him to return, how about that?"
"I didn’t expect you to like such strange things."
Clutching a bag of snacks, Feng Yuan looked at the black-haired youth beside him with some surprise as Long Boduo picked up a small pastry and said
"I think this is delicious, but you guys seem to not like it at all?"
"Is the taste of you Ghost-type Divine Beasts really that... peculiar?"
Agunas flicked his tail, unsure of how to respond. Long Boduo had transformed into a human form, which should be dominated by human taste. However, it judged the deliciousness of food based on the residual spiritual power of the ingredients? It’s hard to understand where their bizarre standards come from.
"Very peculiar?"
While eating the pastry, Long Boduo looked at Agunas with a puzzled expression, and then after a moment, said helplessly,
"The snacks here are very average, I can only taste the soul of the ingredients to comfort myself."
"I always feel what you say could easily be misunderstood by others."
Glancing around, Feng Yuan muttered softly, knowing well that the black-haired youth in front of him was a Ghost-type Divine Beast and that such beings appreciate spiritual power was not strange, but other people didn’t know that, not to mention that Long Boduo was currently in human form. Hmm, a youth saying something like that always seems eerie.
"What if there’s a misunderstanding? Do you think I would care?"
Long Boduo said indifferently, what ordinary people think has nothing to do with it. As for Feng Yuan’s friends? They all know its identity, and would certainly not find its words strange.
"Are you coming with us later or...?"
Seeing that they were about to reach the small tea house, Feng Yuan asked Long Boduo. Although the tea house was short on guest rooms, they still could fit. It’s fine to share a room with him. After thinking for a while, Long Boduo said,
"I don’t know where else to go, I might as well follow you. But, it seems like you guys are on a graduation trip right now? It shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
It wasn’t sure if following Feng Yuan would disrupt his graduation trip, especially since it couldn’t follow him around in a small Spirit Beast form like Agunas could.
"It’s fine, it’s not like we haven’t brought friends along, and besides, they all know your identity."
After all, Long Boduo had changed forms in front of everyone; of course, Agunas and the others didn’t comment. Divine Beasts transforming into humans isn’t exactly a secret, most well-positioned individuals know about it. Knowing is one thing, but being able to recognize it is another matter.
Don’t think that just because Veronia’s human form seems particularly noticeable, it’s only because it can’t be bothered to disguise itself. Even if it wore that dress, if it went to areas like Omeilia, it’s not guaranteed that anyone would recognize it. After all, there are many people there who dress like that.
The same goes for Long Boduo. Unless someone witnesses its transformation directly or has a special way to recognize it, there’s really no way to pick it out from a crowd. Even for Feng Yuan, recognizing those Divine Beasts in human form relies on sensing their spiritual aura, not their appearance.
After all, even Veronia could change into a black-haired human form, the relatively fixed human form is simply because they can’t be bothered to change it.
"It seems like we are heading to Cha Mu Town tomorrow. These snacks should be enough for you, right?"
Remembering something, Feng Yuan reminded Long Boduo; if there was anything particularly to its liking, now was the best time to buy more. Otherwise, after leaving, they’d have to rely on Agunas to portal over to buy stuff, and who knows if that would make him angry.
"There’s nothing particularly delicious, not as good as the snacks in Cha Mu Town. Is Cat Ball in Cha Mu Town now?"
Thinking of something, Long Boduo asked with a smirk, and Agunas glanced at Long Boduo and said irritably,
"Your strength is almost the same as Drudgeon’s, you’re just asking for trouble."
Not to mention anything else, if it really bullied Drudgeon, it’s uncertain if Agunas wouldn’t take Drudgeon’s side, even though Drudgeon now wasn’t the same being that used to hide behind him.
Looking at Agunas, Veronia didn’t say anything. It knew the relationship between Agunas and Drudgeon. It’s okay for Long Boduo to joke a little, but if things went too far, it knows Agunas would definitely support Drudgeon with underhanded tactics. As for whether Long Boduo could withstand it or not?
That’s wishful thinking. Agunas is one of the top-tier Divine Beasts, far from what Long Boduo could compare to. However, it seems that Belusir is also a top-tier Divine Beast?
Looking at that amiable, gentle White Cat with no combat aura, Veronia was somewhat uncertain.
