Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1041 - 1042: Clues

"Camping? Seems a bit... boring?"

Gitalien said, his expression inscrutable. Since Nagna was taken away by Lorraine Tower and he didn’t need to care for Estir, leaving Najia to watch over him, it seemed there was nothing for him to do? As for ditching the bed to sleep in the wild? It felt rather strange.

"If you don’t want to go, no need. We’ll be camping around there, you could find us easily if you want."

Feng Yuan looked at Gitalien, for whom camping indeed didn’t hold much appeal, even for Estir and the others—it wasn’t anything special since they often just found a random spot in the wilderness to rest for the night. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Gitalien thought for a moment and said,

"I’ll see how I feel. If I get bored, I might come over and see what you’re up to."

"You’re not going to sleep in a room?"

Feng Yuan looked somewhat astonished at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, glancing at Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan walked up to the little boy and said something. Seeing this, Feng Yuan dubiously eyed Qi Chen and said,

"Could it be... she..."

"You’re overthinking it. She’s just worried about him. With such a big age gap, it’s impossible."

Qi Chen rolled his eyes speechlessly, this guy really could spout nonsense. How could Dou Yanlan possibly make a move on a kid? Feng Yuan, with a mischievous grin, looked at Qi Chen and said,

"You never know~ Why don’t you go up and hug her to see if she pushes you away?"

"You think I’d fall for that?"

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said irritably, knowing Dou Yanlan well, if you embraced her while she was busy, she’d definitely push you away, since you’d be disturbing her work. Laughing lightly, Feng Yuan scratched the belly of Xiao Ji, who squeezed past him and said,

"You actually caught on~"

"I thought you would fall for it~"

Turning Xiao Ji over to face upwards, Feng Yuan kept scratching his belly. The other waved its wings, seemingly finding it amusing. However, Xiao Ji wasn’t in its Eggshell Chicken form now, and only lay there for a while in its eagle form before feeling uncomfortable and struggling to stand up and shake off. freewebnøvel.com

"Really not a good little kid, eh? It’s so late and you still won’t sleep."

Feng Yuan glared at the yawning little boy, somewhat disapprovingly. Was he really not planning to sleep at all? Dou Yanlan had talked for a long time, and only after much persuasion had he crawled into a sleeping bag. Seeing Dou Yanlan coming over, Feng Yuan casually handed her a cup of hot drink and said,

"Want some?"

"What is this?"

Dou Yanlan looked curiously at the cup Feng Yuan handed her, the brown liquid seemed a bit viscous, and it was unclear what exactly it was. Nearby, Gitalien put down his empty cup and picked up another full cup of hot drink and said,

"It’s nothing invigorating, but it’s quite energetic; drink too much, and you might get fat."

"You’re not worried about getting fat."

Feng Yuan glanced at Gitalien irritably. Most of the hot drink he prepared ended up in Gitalien’s stomach. As for Estir and the others? Estir was already lying down on a pebble riverbank, eyes closed and possibly asleep, Long Boduo seemed to be lively, hopping around everywhere, Veronia, transformed into human form, sat on a deck chair sipping delicately from her cup, a tiny cup of the hot drink lasted her a long time. Agunas, sitting on a nearby large rock, looked at the book in his hand; not having a human form, naturally, he didn’t try the drink.

After all, the hot drink Feng Yuan prepared was simply to human taste. Xiao Ji managed to have a taste through cajoling, but after tasting it once, he never mentioned wanting to drink it again. Big Cat sat on the ground, eyes closed, resting. Pomiti curled up on Big Cat’s head, asleep. Little Ice Cream yawned on Feng Yuan’s head.

"Yo~ All done?"

Waving at Kong Qing, Feng Yuan said with a smile. Hissing a few times, Kong Qing swam up beside Feng Yuan, behind him, the Homeward Snakes arranged by a larger Homeward Snake were resting quite a distance away from the camping site. Feng Yuan petted the head of Kong Qing and asked,

"How about it? Exhausted? Want me to make you something to eat?"

Kong Qing shook its head at Feng Yuan, saying something. Agunas, putting down his book, said,

"It says it’s already eaten, Yun You prepared their food. But tomorrow, you’re not thinking of splitting yourself, are you?"

"What do you mean, ’splitting’?"

Feng Yuan looked at Agunas with some surprise, not knowing why it would say that. With a flick of his tail, Agunas said,

"You still need to make the evolution potion for them tomorrow, and then help him find the Ghost Shadow Doll. Can you do both at the same time?"

"No, but... it’s not a big problem; I’ll just take some time to prepare in advance."

Feng Yuan said nonchalantly while Kong Qing rubbed his head against Feng Yuan and hissed a few times. Agunas translated,

"He says you don’t have to tire yourself, he’s not in a hurry, and those people can also help make the potion."

"Tsk, why should we let them practice with the materials we collected?"

Feng Yuan said disdainfully, having completely forgotten that today’s materials were mostly procured by them. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen said irritably,

"Those ingredients were not only found by Gitalien; many were supplied by them. Besides, when have you ever collected ingredients?"

"Heh heh—well..."

Whistling, Feng Yuan quickly got up, ready to slip away. Just then, a little boy suddenly screamed. Everyone was stunned and rushed over. Feng Yuan looked at the little boy with some confusion; he was sweating and seemed severely frightened. Seeing Dou Yanlan, the little boy clutched the edge of his sleeping bag, his eyes wide with fear.

Dou Yanlan smiled faintly, gently hugged the little boy, and patted his back, saying,

"Don’t be afraid, your sister is here, everything’s alright."

"What’s going on? Did he have a nightmare?"

Feng Yuan looked around curiously; there was nothing unusual about the area, at least he hadn’t noticed anything unusual or any traces left by an ultimate move. The human-looking Veronia put down her parasol, walked over, and lightly tapped the little boy’s forehead. After a moment, she said,

"It’s strange, it seems... entangled with the Dream Domain. Did Anernia act when we weren’t paying attention?"

"He sure is bold. If he really did that, I wouldn’t mind giving him a month’s worth of nightmares."

Feng Yuan said with a sneer. That guy was quite mischievous, but he dared not mess around in Feng Yuan’s presence, especially since Feng Yuan had sorted him out before. Didn’t he see how scared he was before? And yet he dared to stab him in the back? However, thinking of Anernia, Feng Yuan inexplicably remembered Guo Huai’s strange task.

"Could it really be that something strange is happening in the Dream Domain?"

"That... probably not?"

Agunas hesitated, not too sure. He hadn’t cared much before, but now, seeing the little boy’s condition, it seemed... problematic? Feng Yuan squatted down to look at the little boy at eye level and asked,

"Have you been having nightmares often before? And the really scary kind?"

Holding a pillow handed over by Dou Yanlan, the little boy was silent for a long time before he whispered,

"Not... It just started last week... The dreams felt so real... so scary!"

"It seems so."

Shrugging, Feng Yuan spoke and pulled out a pitch-black ancient book. Holding the book with his right hand, he drew a special pattern on the cover with his left finger. A white orb of light appeared at his fingertip. He gently touched the little boy’s forehead, and the boy felt a special aura spread throughout his body, a soothing sensation rising from within him as if something terrifying was leaving him.

"What a strange power, Telekinesis mixed with time? What kind of bizarre combination is this?"

Although Qi Chen and the others couldn’t see it, Feng Yuan and Gitalien could still sense a unique power emanating from the little boy. That power was very special. Long Boduo squeezed in front of Feng Yuan and asked curiously,

"What are you talking about? What strange power?"

Patting Long Boduo’s head, Feng Yuan said with a slight chuckle,

"The culprit causing the nightmares. You might not be able to sense it."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Long Boduo looked somewhat disappointed but quickly perked up, roared, and backed away, circling around the little boy incessantly,

"It really isn’t Anernia’s doing?"
