Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1036 - 1037: Asking for Help

"I really don’t think the barbecue here can be that good, considering that great food depends on the location, the presence of beautiful scenery, handsome waiters, exquisite dinnerware..."

Veronia glanced at Gitalien and blurted out a heap of words, leaving everyone present speechless. Feng Yuan looked at Veronia and said,

"You really ask for too much, it’s just a barbecue, do you need to have so many requirements?" freēnovelkiss.com

"As a matter of fact, whether it’s the scenery while eating, the music, or even the atmosphere..."

Seeing Veronia chattering nonstop, Feng Yuan gave an awkward smile, pretended to hear nothing, whistled, and scratched Xiao Ji’s head, saying,

"Let’s go, have some ice cream to cool off~"

"Is she getting angry?"

Yang Hongzhi whispered to Feng Yuan, while at that moment Veronia was aggressively scooping from a bowl of ice cream as though venting her frustrations. Agunas shook its tail and said,

"Don’t mind her, old habits, if you bother with her, who knows when she might drag you back to the new Mitradite."

It had become immune to such tactics, which almost every time ended up about rebuilding new Mitradite. Of course, it could also sense that at present, Veronia was just talking, and as for her obsession with rebuilding Mitradite, perhaps she had given it up.

Realizing that Agunas was talking about herself, Veronia glared at Agunas and turned her back to him, holding her ice cream. Feng Yuan glanced at the little girls who were feeding Estir and chuckled a bit because they didn’t specifically stop them, more and more passersby dared to approach Estir.

However, compared to Estir, Long Boduo, who was curiously sizing up the passersby, wasn’t taken as kindly. No matter how it tried to act cute, the girls were more focused on the seemingly frail Estir. Some were even quite straightforward and pushed the somewhat annoying Long Boduo away.

Seeing Long Boduo walk over with a deeply hurt expression, Feng Yuan amusedly patted its head and handed it a fruit, saying,

"Want one?"

After swallowing the fruit in one bite, Long Boduo nuzzled Feng Yuan and asked,

"Why don’t they like me?"

Observing the translucent black horse-like Long Boduo, Feng Yuan scratched his head. How could he explain this? Everyone has different tastes, it’s just that Ghost Series Spirit Beasts aren’t particularly popular.

"You’re not lying to me, right?"

Long Boduo raised its head and looked pitifully at Feng Yuan, who awkwardly smiled and said,

"Well, your appearance might not be very appealing to them. After all, compared to Estir, you do seem a bit... scary?"

"So what? If you really want them to flock to you, just open the gates to the netherworld, then even if you’re ugly, people will chase after you and flatter you."

Gitalien glanced at Long Boduo and calmly said, and Feng Yuan, speechless, looked at Gitalien and replied,

"Could you please not suggest such crazy ideas? Would you like it if people came after you because of your status?"

Rubbing his head against Feng Yuan, Long Boduo snorted. Xiao Ji squeezed in between them, keeping Long Boduo away from him, intently staring at Long Boduo while issuing a warning chirp. Just as Long Boduo was about to say something, a little boy gently patted its body, looking intently at it.

"What’s up?"

Long Boduo asked, somewhat puzzled. The boy seemed a bit strange, looking hopefully at him but with a haggard face, as if he hadn’t rested well. Moreover, it didn’t think it was that charming; after all, it’s a Ghost-type Divine Beast, and most humans weren’t particularly keen on contacting Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, let alone children.

The little boy, with a somewhat embarrassed yet hopeful face, said,

"Big Horse, can you help me?"

"Big Horse?!"

Seeing Long Boduo’s deeply affected expression, Feng Yuan amusedly patted Long Boduo and said to the little boy,

"What do you want it to do? If you want it to become your Beast Tamer, that’s not possible."

"Not at all! I just... I just want it to help me find..."

The little boy spoke with a face full of grievance, and his words trailed off into incomprehensibility. Yang Hongzhi gently pushed Feng Yuan aside, squatted down, and said something to the little boy, but the latter seemed not to trust him. Seeing the boy constantly retreating, Feng Yuan sighed, pulled Yang Hongzhi away, and stepped forward to say,

"You want it to help you find something? Don’t worry, I will definitely keep it a secret for you. If you don’t say anything, it won’t know what you’re looking for and how to help you."

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Long Boduo snorted. It really didn’t want to help the little brat find something. Seeing Feng Yuan speaking, Yang Hongzhi took a few steps back and looked around strangely. Dou Yanlan understood what he was looking for and said,

"His parents probably aren’t nearby, but...what exactly does he want to do?"

Seeing Yang Hongzhi look towards her, Dou Yanlan smiled and said,

"What? Didn’t you ever go out to play on your own when you were a child?"

The boy was only about eight years old, which was why Yang Hongzhi had initially tried to find his parents. However, reminded by Dou Yanlan, he realized that the boy might have just gone out to play by himself and was not separated from his parents. But still, something didn’t seem right. If he wasn’t lost, what did he want Long Boduo to help him find?

"But didn’t he ask Long Boduo to help find a person?"

Qi Chen asked, somewhat puzzled, while Veronia, sitting on the Rainbow Bubbles, looked around at the various snack stalls and casually said,

"Do people normally ask Spirit Beasts for help to find someone? And a Ghost Series Spirit Beast at that?"

Seemingly finding something interesting, Veronia maneuvered the Rainbow Bubbles to the side of a snack stall. Seeing a Spirit Beast suddenly appear and offer money to buy something, the stall owner, despite being worldly, was startled.

"So, your good friend is missing, and you want it to help you look for him? But..."

Feng Yuan frowned, examining the little boy. The boy’s clothes were ordinary, quite different from those of children from well-off families, not to mention those from noble families. He asked Long Boduo to search for a Spirit Beast, and according to his description, it seemed to be a Ghost Series Spirit Beast.

Thinking it over, Feng Yuan walked over to Qi Chen and asked,

"I’m curious about something. When you were children, did you ever befriend wild Spirit Beasts?"

Startled, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan strangely and said,

"Of course, didn’t you know that the Spirit Beasts hiding in the city corners have a good relationship with children?"

"Hehe, where I used to live, there weren’t any,"

Feng Yuan scratched his head and smiled brightly, saying this. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan but didn’t ask further. If that guy didn’t volunteer information, Qi Chen wouldn’t specifically inquire, though he found it strange why Feng Yuan was asking about this.

"Is there a problem?"

Yang Hongzhi looked at Feng Yuan, puzzled, and Feng Yuan glanced at the little boy before saying,

"He wants Long Boduo to help find a companion, but his little companion is a Ghost Series Spirit Beast, so I find it a bit odd."

"Ghost Series Spirit Beast? That is indeed a bit strange."

Yang Hongzhi looked at the little boy and whispered,

"Although typically parents keep their children away from Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, it’s not absolute. At least those parents who are researchers seem to not mind this matter much, not to mention some parents own Ghost Series Spirit Beasts themselves."

"But why would he have Long Boduo help find a Ghost Series Spirit Beast?"

"I don’t know, maybe because Long Boduo is also a Ghost Series Spirit Beast, he might know the other one?"

At that moment Liao Yu also went over and said something to the little boy, maybe because the little boy trusted him seeing his uniform. The boy could not help but tell him everything he knew. After listening, Liao Yu turned to Feng Yuan, who was listening with ears pricked, and said,

"What do you think? According to the normal process, we really can’t handle this matter."

Since the Ghost Series Spirit Beast was a stray, they obviously couldn’t just take the boy’s word for it and send people out to search, especially since the current pressures below were great, and they couldn’t afford to look for trouble.

"This one, ask Long Boduo. If it is willing, then there’s no issue, but according to his description, it seems..."

Feng Yuan said, looking towards Xiao Ji, who shook its head in confusion, not understanding what Feng Yuan intended. Borrowing power from Xiao Ji, a semi-transparent ragdoll-like figure appeared in Feng Yuan’s palm. Squatting, Feng Yuan softly asked,

"Does it look like this?"
