Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1028 - 1029: Envy

"How strange is this evolutionary form? Poison and space?"

Long Boduo seemed puzzled for a while before nodding with an understanding look, examining the evolving Little Green Snake and saying,

"This is quite interesting—"

"However, this seems to be an interesting choice—"

Seeing Long Boduo eager to try, Feng Yuan, somewhat speechlessly, studied him and asked,

"Do you have kin?"

"This..."

Long Boduo lowered his head with his hooves continually pawing at the grass, appearing somewhat dejected. Beside them, Qi Chen watched Feng Yuan, unsure of how to address his companion. Luckily Long Boduo didn’t mind, otherwise, given his attitude, it wouldn’t be strange for the other party to explode in anger.

Patting Long Boduo’s body, Feng Yuan laughed and said,

"Aren’t you just bored of the Netherworld? You could invite Gitalien to roam mountains and rivers with you, right? Isn’t that what he usually does?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Gitalien narrowed his eyes and stared at Feng Yuan for a long time before saying,

"Is this your revenge?"

"What else? Isn’t this typical of you?"

Feng Yuan said proudly, smiling at Gitalien, while Qi Chen silently retreated a few steps. He wouldn’t dare joke with Gitalien like Feng Yuan did. Noticing Qi Chen’s movement, Feng Yuan didn’t comment. At that moment, Pomiti, who had been sleeping atop Big Cat’s head, suddenly sat up, looking puzzled at the evolving Little Green Snake.

Big Cat meowed, seeming confused about what was bothering Pomiti, who seemed agitated and restless atop Big Cat’s head. Feng Yuan quickly walked over, scooped up Pomiti in his arms, and gently patted its back. Pomiti looked up at Feng Yuan, seemingly reassured and slowly closed his eyes to sleep again.

"What’s wrong with it?"

Veronia asked, somewhat puzzled. Pomiti’s behavior didn’t seem like it was just being affectionate. Just then, did that little one feel uneasy? Holding Pomiti, Feng Yuan sneakily glanced at Xiao Ji and, seeing that it wasn’t upset, he breathed a sigh of relief and quietly said,

"It probably sensed a significant change in its destiny, considering the external forces involved are quite strong."

"A significant change in destiny?"

Veronia was a bit confused, but it quickly understood as the light gradually faded, a Homeward Snake, slightly smaller than Qingyu, appeared in its place. The creature emitted a joyful cry and looked at Qingyu with gratitude, as if saying something. Veronia pouted and said discontentedly,

"Tsk, just taking in underlings."

Saying this, she stared intently at Feng Yuan as if asking, "See, can’t I do it too?" Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and said exasperatedly,

"What do you need underlings for? Besides, he wasn’t really taking underlings, was he?"

After all, he wouldn’t believe that Qingyu was into collecting underlings. Qingyu wasn’t as free as Veronia, always thinking about such bizarre things, or perhaps, thinking about restoring Mitradite’s glory?

"The strength is very low, but it’s not certain whether it’s an average value for Homeward Snakes."

The woman who was recording data spoke while noting down the final data. With the original data and the data from Qingyu, they should have been able to estimate the racial data for Homeward Snakes. However, with the appearance of an evolutionary modifier, the strength data would definitely be below the racial average, and currently, the sample size was too small. Qingyu was already a special case, and its data couldn’t be used. Qingyu’s data was normal, but that too was just one instance, and now a third special case had appeared.

"Troubles precede success, even with preliminary data, the deviation is still significant and not very meaningful." freёwebnoѵel.com

The middle-aged man smiled and spoke. Spirit Beast evolution was sometimes like this, the other party was still too impatient. If they couldn’t endure solitude, mishaps were likely to occur. Thinking this, he looked at Meng Binglan; the other party was continuously writing something, seemingly inspired. He remembered that last year, she was as impatient as he, but a trip to Maomu City seemed to have changed her. She became very cautious in her research, not rushing without great confidence. For this change in her, everyone was glad, as continual rashness would inevitably lead to problems one day.

Just like the incident at Lake Bai Dao, if they hadn’t aimed to reach the heavens in one step by directly researching the Ancient Ruins, perhaps there wouldn’t have been so many issues. Although his understanding of that event was limited, he had learned from colleagues that the Ancient Ruins at Lake Bai Dao could be traced back to the Mythical Era. Even though the ruins were likely no longer there, Dao Lake City’s relocation work was still rapidly progressing, and they were indeed somewhat fearful.

"But we don’t have much time left, after all, he plans to publish these results, and if he aims to maintain an advantage..."

"Gong Qiuxia, your thoughts are inappropriate. How he handles the results is his business; we have no reason to interfere. Moreover, overly rapid research only hurts the Spirit Beasts."

The middle-aged man, dissatisfied, spoke to the woman known as Gong Qiuxia who was recording data. "Doesn’t she see who is around? It’s one thing for Feng Yuan and the others, as they might understand her, but Gitalien and Long Boduo hearing her words might form a bad opinion of them."

Gitalien glanced at the researchers and sneered lightly,

"Don’t pretend in front of me. Don’t I know what you’re like? If you dare to force them, I believe other Divine Beasts will surely help them seek justice."

"And what about you? You won’t intervene? That’s not good, is it?"

Long Boduo, momentarily catching up, asked aloud. Gitalien glanced at Long Boduo and said,

"Me? It’s not like I’m needed."

With a gaze, he signaled to Agunas, Kong Qing, and Feng Yuan—the three who would act. He might not need to intervene himself. A mere few researchers weren’t worth so much fuss. Seeing Feng Yuan examining the Homeward Snake, Gitalien reached out and plucked a fresh fruit, about to bite into it when he noticed Nagna staring at him.

Shaking his head reluctantly, Gitalien handed the fruit to Nagna. Seeing the latter squinting happily while nibbling the fruit, Gitalien reached for another piece of fruit and was about to eat it when he saw Long Boduo staring at him with the same expression as Nagna. Looking at the fruit in his hand, Gitalien said helplessly,

"Do you want to eat too?"

"Yes—"

"Pick it yourself!"

Gitalien fiercely bit into the fruit, and seeing that Gitalien didn’t offer him any, Long Boduo turned and ran towards Feng Yuan without looking back.

"What are you doing? I’m busy here."

Feng Yuan pushed away Long Boduo’s big head, which had squeezed in front of him. He was examining the Homeward Snake for any abnormalities, and this creature had suddenly barged in, almost toppling him. Scraping his hooves on the grass, Long Boduo looked expectantly at Feng Yuan and said,

"I want a fruit—can you get me one?"

"Juice? They should have that in the kitchen; you can ask Chudie to help."

"Hey! Why me! Can’t Yun You do it?"

Cen Chudie, who was observing the Homeward Snake, immediately voiced her displeasure. Feng Yuan glanced at Cen Chudie and said,

"Aren’t you more familiar with juicing? You often use those fruits for experiments anyway. You definitely do it better than Sister Yun You. I trust you."

"Are the two comparable? Don’t think I’ll fall for that!"

Seeing the two argue, Yun You, with a smile, said to Long Boduo,

"What kind of juice do you want? I’ll make it for you."

Glancing at Yun You with confusion, Long Boduo curiously said,

"Drink? Aren’t fruits for eating?"

Following Long Boduo’s line of sight, Feng Yuan saw Gitalien eating the fruit and, seeing Long Boduo, said helplessly,

"You mean the fruit, right? There actually are some nearby, but whether you’ll like them, I don’t know."

"That might not be suitable, right? Those are for the Mianlan babies; he probably won’t like them."

Cen Chudie somewhat uncertainly remarked, knowing the fruits Feng Yuan referred to were stacked in the corner as snacks for the Mianlan babies and weren’t very tasty, being both ample and cheap.

"I want the same one he’s holding."

Putting on a wheedling expression, Long Boduo rubbed against Feng Yuan. Rushing over, Xiao Ji squeezed Long Boduo aside, looking displeased. Glancing at Gitalien, Feng Yuan sighed,

"That seems to be the Red Fruit. We don’t have any around here; the nearest place would be Cha Mu Town. Maybe you can go there yourself to eat?"
