Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1055 - 1056: After the Event

"Perhaps we won’t punish those people?"

Gitalien glanced at Liao Yu and said, pausing for a moment as Liao Yu looked back at Gitalien nervously and said,

"No way, shouldn’t you... just take care of those people as a matter of course?"

"We have never said such a thing."

Gitalien said disdainfully with his head held high, as Agunas looked at the other party speechlessly and said,

"The only reason we’re not punishing is that their actions didn’t cause much damage, plus some..."

Agunas thought for a moment but decided not to say it; it believed humans must have noticed something but felt it wasn’t proper to ask—after all, how should one ask such a thing? Asking bluntly would surely cause a loss of face for the Divine Beasts.

"In affairs involving Divine Beasts, it is indeed up to us to make decisions, that is correct. You don’t need to worry about it."

Agunas glanced at Gitalien and added an explanation, lest a misunderstanding cause trouble.

Feng Yuan looked at Agunas somewhat aggrievedly and said,

"Then why was it that when I..."

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said irritably,

"That time I was involved too. As the Divine Beast concerned, I couldn’t make the call. Moreover, at that time, I didn’t understand the laws and regulations of Great Xia very well, not to mention I wasn’t very clear on the correct way for Divine Beasts and humans to interact. Can you blame me for that?"

At that time, Agunas had directly used Feng Yuan’s Dark Ancient Book to release its domain over Maomu City. When the punishment was handed out, Agunas wasn’t held responsible mainly because it wasn’t aware of the entire situation and on account of being a Divine Beast—otherwise, it wouldn’t have escaped punishment for that incident.

Ignoring the nightmares twisting around him, Feng Yuan, holding Xiao Ji, said to Gitalien,

"Let’s go, it’s time to head back."

"We’ll be leaving first, Anernia..."

Seeing that black animal lying on the ground feigning death, Feng Yuan scratched his face guiltily. Had he bullied it excessively? After a moment’s thought, he picked up Anernia and massaged it in his arms. Nearby, Xiao Ji looked at Anernia somewhat angrily, but the latter remained unaffected, or perhaps to Anernia, Xiao Ji’s stare was utterly harmless.

Anernia shook its tail proudly, flashing a cunning smile at Xiao Ji. Gitalien made no comment on this act of defiance; did it really think Xiao Ji was so easily provoked? As the only Death-series Divine Beast at present, probably only It and Feng Yuan knew how terrifying its authority could be.

Even if Xiao Ji couldn’t handle it now, once it grew up and reached Divine Beast level, it could probably run circles around it every day—that is if Xiao Ji was the type to hold such grudges.

With a gentle pat on Anernia’s back, Feng Yuan put it down and said,

"Alright then, I’ll leave it to you."

Anernia glanced at Feng Yuan, contentedly wagged its little tail, walked over to Guo Huai, and said,

"Let’s go, I’ve got you covered."

"Do you want to go in and wash your face before we leave?"

Feng Yuan looked at the woman and suggested, pointing at Cotton Orchid Manor. Hesitating, the woman nodded. She had cried several times already, and her makeup was ruined. It indeed wouldn’t be good to go back like that, but would they be refused entry to the manor? After all, Cotton Orchid Manor was rather well-known as a resort in Maomu City.

That’s when Yun You approached with a smile on her face and asked Feng Yuan,

"Have you brought a new friend again?"

"Not really, it shouldn’t be a problem for her to freshen up at the manor, right?"

Feng Yuan asked Yun You somewhat embarrassingly, to which she replied with a slight smile,

"Of course, it’s fine. Follow me; the public bathhouse is in this direction."

"Hehe~"

Feng Yuan scratched his head, laughing somewhat guiltily. Qi Chen glanced at him and could guess what was on his mind without asking. Was it only now that he remembered Cotton Orchid Manor wasn’t his own place? But considering that guy got along well with the people of Cotton Orchid Manor, he didn’t say anything.

Gitalien glanced at Kong Qing and said,

"Call me when they’ve all evolved."

Upon Gitalien’s departure, Long Boduo let out an excited cry. Although the other hadn’t done anything to him, his presence had always prevented Long Boduo from letting loose. Now that he was gone, he could finally party hard~

"You’d better be careful. You’re not one of those Divine Beasts that frequently shows up in front of humans."

Gitalien warned Long Boduo with a sweep of his gaze. If it showed its true form, humans might give it some respect and wouldn’t trouble it as long as it didn’t go too far. But Long Boduo was different; humans might not recognize its Divine Beast status, and any conflicts could become troublesome.

Even if that guy wasn’t very strong, he was still a mid-rank Divine Beast who could escape into the Netherworld if defeated. And with his authority, he could easily lead any power in a guerilla war they wouldn’t be able to withstand.

"It’s okay. Agunas knows them."

Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas and said with a smile, twirling his umbrella. Veronia turned her head away. Why did Little Crocodile have more fame than her? Did she need to stir up a big scene to let other humans know about her too? Sensing Veronia’s off mood, Agunas rolled his eyes and said,

"Don’t you start any trouble. If you cause a big scene, it’ll be a big headache for him."

Seeing Agunas looking in his direction, Feng Yuan just shrugged and said,

"Well, that won’t happen. They wouldn’t trouble me over their own Divine Beast affairs, right?"

"Trouble you? Just don’t let them add to my workload, okay?"

Liao Yu pressed down hard on Feng Yuan’s shoulder and complained in a low voice by his ear. As for saying it out loud, what if Veronia or Long Boduo held a grudge? He wasn’t like Feng Yuan; if they held a grudge against him, he’d probably have trouble sleeping at night.

"No causing trouble!"

Floating down from Yang Hongzhi’s shoulder, Najia warned Veronia and Long Boduo. Veronia gave Najia a glance but remained silent. She wasn’t familiar with him. As for being afraid of him? That was hardly possible. In terms of strength, she was a bit stronger than Little Crocodile... probably.

Long Boduo glanced at Najia, then suddenly stomped a hoof, sending a black current of air towards Najia. Xiao Ji gave Long Boduo a displeased look, fixing him with an intense stare. Najia waved a hand, and a dazzling barrier of starlight rose in front of him. Estir glanced at Long Boduo, then walked over to the lawn and lay down; just by looking at Xiao Ji’s expression, it was clear that Long Boduo’s attempt to bully Najia was going to get him nowhere.

Big Cat meowed plaintively at Kong Qing. After looking at Najia, Kong Qing gave Long Boduo an unpleasant glance, paused, then Long Boduo snorted and said,

"What’s with you all? I didn’t hear about you having such a great relationship?"

"You dummy..."

As Long Boduo was chased and attacked by Xiao Ji and Kong Qing, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but comment speechlessly. Long Boduo had completely misunderstood the situation and acted rashly. He’d have been better off challenging Veronia than Najia. Although Kong Qing and Xiao Ji didn’t have Divine Beast Level strength, one wielded the authority of death and the other spatial authority. Getting Long Boduo into trouble would be no problem at all.

Not to mention Najia. He was on the same level as Long Boduo, and even though he wasn’t skilled in combat, with Xiao Ji and Kong Qing’s help, thrashing Long Boduo wouldn’t be an issue.

"That... It’s not serious, right?"

Looking somewhat apprehensive, Yang Hongzhi asked Feng Yuan. Although Long Boduo could be a bit insufferable, this seemed a bit much, right? Glancing at the fleeing Long Boduo, Feng Yuan quirked a lip and said,

"Don’t worry about it. They’re just messing around; they won’t really hurt him. He’s a bit tougher than Anernia, but Long Boduo can take it."

Agunas flipped through a book in his hands, completely ignoring the chasing and playing Divine Beasts, just as Feng Yuan had said—they were just fooling around. Veronia pulled out a book from somewhere and sat elegantly on a nearby chair, reading. Estir raised her head to glance at Veronia then hung her head down again, lost in thought.

After a while, when they’d had their fill of frolicking, Xiao Ji squeezed over to Feng Yuan and fluttered its wings as if saying something. Agunas glanced at Xiao Ji and translated,

"It says it’s tired and needs you to give it a massage."

"You little rascal... You weren’t tired when you were fighting? Really... I don’t know what to do with you."

Feng Yuan tapped Xiao Ji’s head and sat down on the lawn waving Xiao Ji over, who happily lay down in front of him emitting pleased sounds. Kong Qing then went off to find the Homeward Snakes. After all, they had important tasks to do and now they had to teach them how to concoct Potions.
