Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1035 - 1036: Searching for Food

"There are so many people."

At the library square, it didn’t seem too crowded since the area was open and spacious. But upon preparing to enter the alley, Feng Yuan and the others felt the unusual congestion around them. Naturally, the people nearby couldn’t help but frequently gaze at Estir and Long Boduo, who were following behind Feng Yuan.

After all, who would release such large Spirit Beasts in such an area without consequence? Little Ice Cream seemed to think the view from Feng Yuan’s shoulder wasn’t good enough, so it hopped directly onto Long Boduo’s head. The latter looked at its head in confusion for a while before asking Feng Yuan,

"Do I look ridiculous like this?"

"No, not at all. It’s quite distinctive~"

Feng Yuan tried to stifle his laughter as he spoke. Long Boduo, shaped like a black translucent steed, now had a lump of white ice cream ball-shaped object on its head, which looked quite bizarre no matter how one looked at it. Doubtfully eyeing Feng Yuan, Long Boduo then asked Agunas somewhat incredulously,

"Do I really look strange?"

Agunas glanced at Long Boduo and, without explanation, waved a paw and a water mirror appeared before it. Seeing its odd appearance in the mirror, Long Boduo shook its head. Little Ice Cream hopped off its head and looked at Feng Yuan with a slight sense of grievance. Just then, Estir called out to Little Ice Cream, which happily ran onto Estir’s head and curled up to survey its surroundings.

"Such a naughty little one."

Feng Yuan smiled helplessly as he spoke. Little Ice Cream was truly impolite, and it feared not even the Divine Beasts. Big Cat, although indifferent to the Divine Beasts, would never approach them so readily, even if they suppressed their presence. It would still feel uncomfortable.

Pomiti also instinctively kept her distance from them. Gitalien glanced at Pomiti, who was curiously surveying the surrounds atop Big Cat’s head, and spoke somewhat displeately,

"Why the reluctance? He hasn’t been taking care of you, has he?"

After a quick glance at Gitalien, Big Cat meowed a few times and ran behind Feng Yuan. The latter was checking out the street food stalls and hadn’t noticed the commotion. Feeling something nuzzling him, Feng Yuan turned and saw Big Cat behind him and inquired,

"What’s the matter? In a hurry? Hold on, hold on. Hey, how about some rice noodle rolls with river snails?"

As he spoke, Feng Yuan pointed to a nearby street food stall. Qi Chen, looking at the Spirit Beasts beside Feng Yuan, commented, freewёbnoνel.com

"We don’t mind, but what about them?"

Even though the food seemed delicious, it clearly wasn’t seasoned for Spirit Beasts, and it was unlikely they would enjoy it. Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Well, we’ll just bring our own seasonings and ask them to prepare it for us. How about that? Want to give it a try?"

"I’m easy."

Gitalien said nonchalantly. Veronia disappeared for a moment, and soon after, a blonde woman holding a parasol walked over. Feng Yuan looked at Veronia with a speechless expression and remarked,

"Don’t you find it odd to be carrying an umbrella at night?"

"Is it? I don’t think so."

Veronia shifted the parasol to glance at the sky, catching sight of a stroke of evening glow, and after a moment’s thought, she folded the umbrella, saying,

"Is that better now?"

"Why do you transform into human form?"

Long Boduo asked from the side with some confusion. Gitalien was one thing since he always looked that way, but Veronia had just changed into her human form. Feng Yuan glanced at them and explained,

"Isn’t it because of the food? Once you’re in human form, you can enjoy human taste sensations, right?"

"It can be like that?"

Long Boduo looked at Feng Yuan with amazement, having not realized such a thing was possible. Gitalien casually grabbed a cup of drink from a nearby stall and, before Liao Yu could step forward to pay, tossed a piece of official Great Xia currency, which landed precisely in the spot where the beverage had been.

"You didn’t just swipe that from someone’s pocket, did you? Taking without asking is stealing."

Feng Yuan eyed Gitalien skeptically, who downed the beverage and looked back at Feng Yuan, saying,

"I would never stoop so low. That was income from dealing with garbage earlier."

"Dealing with garbage... Alright, that sort of thing probably counts as garbage to you."

Qi Chen rolled his eyes at Gitalien, understanding where his money had come from. He suspected Gitalien had sold some materials he’d casually gathered while wandering around earlier, which were just taking up space. As for whether he made a profit or a loss? Would Gitalien even care? After all, he’d picked them up casually on his travels.

Especially as a Space Divine Beast, Gitalien could create his own space to store things. Qi Chen had no idea just how much stuff Gitalien had crammed into his junk storage.

"Ah Chen～"

When Qi Chen heard Dou Yanlan calling him, he turned around, puzzled, feeling her put something on his head. He reached up to touch it and asked with a hint of confusion,

"What did you do?"

Dou Yanlan smiled slightly, looking a bit embarrassed as she said,

"I... just wanted to see."

"Tiger ears? They’re not very pretty. You should make ones like Drudgeon’s, yes, exactly, like that. A cat ball?! "

"If you keep calling me that, I’ll get angry."

Drudgeon looked at Feng Yuan with speechlessness and said. The latter was covering his mouth, shaking his head as if to say he wouldn’t do it again. With a swish of his tail, Drudgeon looked at Gitalien and the rest, puzzled, asking,

"What are you all doing? Is this a group activity?"

With so many Divine Beasts gathered here, he feared that if they weren’t careful, they could easily tear the place down. Bending down and pressing Drudgeon’s ears down, Feng Yuan laughed and said,

"Of course not, we’re just here to shop. What about you, what are you doing here?"

"I’m buying some snacks; it’s been a long time since I tasted the flavors here."

Saying this, Drudgeon jumped into the crowd and disappeared. After all, whether it was Agunas or Gitalien, they could notify him if something happened.

"Feng Yuan, your rice noodle snails are ready."

At that moment, Yang Hongzhi, who was chatting with Najia while waiting for his rice noodle snails from the stall owner, called out to Feng Yuan. Soon, everyone’s rice noodle snails were ready. Feng Yuan looked at Liao Yu with curiosity and asked,

"Aren’t you going to eat with us?"

Busy maintaining order, Liao Yu gave Feng Yuan a speechless look and said,

"Can’t you tell I’m busy?"

It was inevitable; Long Boduo and Estir standing there were just too eye-catching—a deer and a horse, both with such distinctive appearances, naturally attracted onlookers. Moreover, with Estir’s appearance of just recovering from a serious illness, a wave of pity arose from the people. If they didn’t know that it was a Spirit Beast and that the person accompanying it could take care of it, someone might have already tried to feed it.

Still, Estir received many more rice noodle snails than anyone else. Long Boduo, while eating his portion, sneakily glanced at the food in Estir’s bowl. However, the small branch growing from the cracks in the stones made him hesitate to act.

Even though he knew he could defeat Estir now, he didn’t want to risk injuring it, for fear that Gitalien and Lorraine Tower would come after him. Not to mention, he wouldn’t really bully Estir.

"Here you go～"

Xiao Ji, while eating, suddenly found a strand of rice noodles stuffed into his mouth by Feng Yuan. Disturbed, Xiao Ji cast Feng Yuan a disgruntled look. Hesitantly, like taking medicine, Xiao Ji slowly ate the mouthful of rice noodles. Unexpectedly, it actually tasted good? Xiao Ji turned its gaze to Feng Yuan’s bowl and nudged Feng Yuan with its head, seemingly wanting some of his food. Agunas glanced at Xiao Ji and said,

"Don’t fall for it. You’re eating Little Ice Cream’s food."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan chuckled. Little Ice Cream, noticing a piece missing from its bowl, wobbled its body discontentedly toward Feng Yuan. Even if it couldn’t finish, Feng Yuan shouldn’t just help himself!

Xiao Ji glared at Feng Yuan and pushed his own bowl toward Little Ice Cream. Little Ice Cream then said something to Xiao Ji and again swept a discontented glance at Feng Yuan. Seeing Xiao Ji and Little Ice Cream unite against Feng Yuan, Veronia snorted and turned away disdainfully.

"How strange, why is he looking for me?"

Putting down his phone, Feng Yuan felt it odd. After thinking for a bit and glancing at Xiao Ji beside him without dwelling on it further, he pointed to an ice cream shop and asked,

"Do you want some dessert?"

"I think that one looks better?"

Gitalien pointed to a kebab stand nearby. Feng Yuan gave Gitalien a speechless look and said,

"Are you serious? Aren’t you hot?"
