Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1239 - 1240: The Plan

"Are you still thinking about that matter?"

Seeing Feng Yuan lost in thought over the hot spring, Agunas asked aloud. Glancing at Agunas, Feng Yuan said,

"I truly can’t comprehend it—it’s a nation, after all. If there weren’t any benefits involved, I wouldn’t believe they’d go to such lengths, but..."

In the Dynasty Era, it might be due to the emperor’s personal whims, but modern times are different. Even if one person acts recklessly, others would dissuade and check them. Thus, many matters are completely traceable. These insufficient benefits, even risking great dangers to carry things out, what are they really for?

At least with the current known intelligence, within Great Xia, there aren’t benefits enough to justify such a huge cost. Moreover, Feng Yuan has tested; there are no external factors in this affair. Great Xia, could there be something special he hadn’t noticed?

Unable to figure it out, the more he thought, the more confused he became. Although Feng Yuan could glimpse into the future, the future is not set in stone. Deducting the present from those infinite futures is no easy task, let alone such secretive information.

"Ah, forget it, can only hope that they expose themselves. Really don’t understand what they actually want to do."

Sighing, Feng Yuan stood up and said, his position in the hot spring pool was not deep, he was merely floating deliberately. Watching quietly beside him, Xiao Ji nudged his cheek with its head upon seeing him stand up. It was supposed to be a time to enjoy the hot springs, yet he floated alone; everyone else was playing nearby.

Looking at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan with a somewhat amused smile tapped Xiao Ji’s forehead and said,

"Let’s go, find them to play with."

"Fun times are always brief, huh~"

Lying and floating in the hot spring, Feng Yuan shook the small water cup in his hand and said, while on the shore Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said,

"You better come up now; we’re about to take a group photo. How long have you been soaking? Don’t you feel uncomfortable?"

With a flip, Feng Yuan hurriedly climbed ashore. He wasn’t really in a hurry, mainly it was Xiao Ji. It kept moving around with him in the hot spring. Although its feathers did not absorb water, it still felt uncomfortable. After getting out of the water, Feng Yuan still had to help it dry off properly; this also took quite a bit of time.

"It seems my plan for today’s activities wasn’t so great..."

Chen Xin said somewhat disappointedly. After all, although everyone was participating in the activities, the atmosphere wasn’t as lively as yesterday. Zhong Liuyan glanced towards everyone and said,

"I think your plans were quite good; it’s just that after playing for three days, everyone is tired, and also... the happier we are, the harder it is to let go..."

"Hard to let go... Indeed, I was just thinking, how wonderful it would be if this joyous time never ends..."

Upon hearing Chen Xin’s sigh, Bai You silently stood beside her, not speaking a word. Zhong Liuyan looked at Chen Xin and hesitated to speak; she knew about her bet but didn’t have any good solutions. The Chen Family wasn’t a minor family; even though they didn’t compare to the Zhang Family, she wasn’t in a position to interfere.

Even for Feng Yuan, without proper reasoning, he perhaps couldn’t directly confront her family. Of course, with that guy’s methods, there were plenty of opportunities where he could take action, but...

If he really didn’t have feelings for her, doing so could very likely lead to misunderstandings. The Black Stone Yan Fort Spirit? Remembering the conversation with Feng Yuan in Qiaoshui Town, Zhong Liuyan silently kept searching for the Black Stone Yan Fort Spirit in her heart, although she couldn’t find a way to ask the spirit for help—Feng Yuan likely could.

And the way he spoke, he probably had a good solution, it’s just unknown what his plan was.

"Aren’t you guys ready yet? Come on~"

At that moment, Feng Yuan’s call broke the silence of the trio, exchanging glances, Chen Xin and Bai You ran towards the crowd, while Zhong Liuyan silently looked at Feng Yuan and felt somewhat relieved—an emotional relief that Chen Xin didn’t choose to stay in Shangjing, otherwise she definitely wouldn’t have encountered Feng Yuan. Although Feng Yuan hadn’t yet helped her win the bet, at least there was hope, wasn’t there?

After the chaotic and noisy group photo was taken, the collective activity also came to an end. Chen Xin began to arrange transportation to send people back, and also helped arrange hotels for those who wanted to stay and enjoy Cha Mu Town. Feng Yuan had no plans to squeeze into high-speed trains and buses with everyone.

After bidding farewell to Long Boduo and instructing him to be ready, Feng Yuan asked Agunas to open the Space Gate to return directly to Maomu City. During this period, he also brought back other classmates who wanted to return to Maomu City. Back at home, Feng Yuan sat on the sofa and asked Qi Chen,

"Speaking of which, does Xiao Shuang have a vacation?"

"In two days it’s the mid-term exam, but even after that, she’ll probably go out with her friends."

As Qi Chen spoke, she thought of Xiao Shuang’s little boyfriend but then decided not to meddle in it and leave the matter to her parents. She had met him secretly before and thought her daughter’s choice wasn’t bad— at least he didn’t notice any issues with the boy’s character. Even so, for assurance, she had asked Feng Yuan to check him out. Besides, next semester Xiao Shuang would be entering high school.

With the White Shadow Wolf as her base, Qi Xiaoshuang was advancing further on the Beastmaster path than she did, at least her first Beast Tamer didn’t have too many restrictions unlike Qi Chen, who would be in trouble if Ah Mu didn’t evolve into a form with great combat power. Of course, this was not without its own issues.

At least the White Shadow Wolf can’t help her pass the academy assessments, but as long as she has the White Shadow Wolf, Qi Chen can take her to gather potion ingredients near the wilderness during breaks, just like Feng Yuan did before.

Feeling confident about his own strength, all thanks to Ah Mu, Qi Chen gratefully glanced at Ah Mu, who looked back puzzled and didn’t understand what was going on. freēwēbnovel.com

"True, going out with friends she knows well is much better than hanging out with us old folks."

Glancing at Feng Yuan who was smiling self-deprecatingly, Qi Chen said speechlessly,

"What do you mean ’old folks’?"

"Hehe, compared to Xiao Shuang, are we not old?"

Moreover, speaking of age, Feng Yuan was confident he was even older than Agunas. Of course, although he had lived through long times, he had chosen to forget or deeply bury most of his memories, otherwise, this world would seem too boring to him.

"Get everything ready. We’ll check again tomorrow, and set off the day after, how about that?"

Looking at Qi Chen expectantly, Feng Yuan suggested, and after looking at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen said,

"No problem on my end. I’ll check with Yanlan. But I think it shouldn’t be a big issue."

"Then that’s settled~"

"Let’s see, start by visiting Shenhua to see the Dreaming Dragon Baby, and then head to Omeilia. Last time I only went to Calien City. Where should we go this time... how about visiting the Drochkar region? Although it has declined, as a former Omeilia Great Nation, it should still have some unique traits~"

"Drochkar? The ancestral land of that foreigner from the haunted house we visited last time?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen instantly remembered Mr. Foreyn who they had met through a leap across time; it seemed he was from Drochkar, but it’s unclear why he stayed in Maomu City. Thinking of Foreyn’s large house, Qi Chen sighed.

"Seems so, but mainly because there are not many famous countries with distinct characteristics in the Omeilia Region. After all, that area was heavily influenced by Ernis’s fast technological advancements, which caused many things there to be destroyed."

Nodding slightly, Feng Yuan spoke regretfully. Although the technological progress propelled by Ernis put Omeilia at the forefront of scientific and technological development, the excessive pursuit of functionality led their architecture to lose its distinctive features, those cultivated by time and cultural essence.

"Drochkar is also a country in the Omeilia Region, are you sure they will still retain those buildings?"

Looking skeptically at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen was somewhat incredulous as she didn’t pay much attention to or understand the situation in Omeilia Region. However, even in Great Xia, original architectural designs had been discarded, though some cities went against this trend by refining and improving traditional wooden architectural designs for urban development.

But those were mostly small cities for traditional designs make it difficult to reserve enough free planning space. Just like Foreyn’s new urban plan for Lanadi, it wouldn’t be practical if their tribe’s population was not so small because to preserve aesthetics, much living space had to be sacrificed.

"There should still be some."

Feng Yuan said uncertainly, not too sure but there shouldn’t be any issues considering they had declined and aiming to utilize tourism, they probably wouldn’t change everything.
