Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1074 - 1075: Doubts

"You’re not planning on custom-making their toys, are you?"

Qi Xiaoshuang eyed Feng Yuan with suspicion. The latter smiled proudly, glanced at Xiao Bai, the White Shadow Wolf beside Qi Xiaoshuang, and said

"Of course~ Including this one’s, oh right, and the White Wolf Deity’s too. But... never mind, I’ll make the White Wolf Deity’s myself." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

After all, it was a Divine Beast. Feng Yuan wasn’t confident in letting others handle the task, especially since he couldn’t have the White Wolf Deity come in to approve the work right now. If people knew they were creating a toy of the White Wolf Deity, they would most likely be too scared to agree—lest they incur the Divine Beast’s displeasure and cause trouble.

"A toy of the White Wolf Deity? You’re not going to make it look like a big white dog, are you?"

Qi Xiaoshuang observed Feng Yuan with a doubtful expression. It wasn’t that she couldn’t believe him; although he seemed to be able to do anything well, she had never seen Feng Yuan craft toys by hand. The White Wolf Deity’s appearance was not much different from that of a regular White Wolf. If careless, it would indeed not be impossible to end up with something resembling a large white dog.

"How could that be..."

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Xiaoshuang speechlessly. Was his craftsmanship really that bad? Xiao An, who had been quietly walking aside, didn’t interject. Although she got along well with Qi Xiaoshuang, she really didn’t know what to say about the topics they discussed since the room at her home wasn’t big, and even though there were some ornaments, she hardly had any toys.

And if all the Spirit Beasts following Feng Yuan were to be turned into toys, it seemed there would be quite a few. Carrying a small potted plant, Xiao An walked silently with a look of envy towards Qi Xiaoshuang. Not only did the latter have a brother she got along well with, but there was also a friend, who seemed to be quite capable?

"Ah! Why are they doing this again!"

At that moment, Xiao An saw several boys up ahead driving away two Spirit Beasts made of mud. They seemed to despise the muddy Spirit Beasts with strange trash sticking to their bodies. Despite their derogatory manner and even trying to chase them away with bamboo sticks and the like, they didn’t make physical contact with the two Spirit Beasts even once.

Putting down her small potted plant, Xiao An rushed over and angrily pushed away one of the boys. Although they were of the same age and the boys had the advantage in numbers, they didn’t attack Xiao An directly but were rather unhappy, saying something.

"What’s happening? Why are they bullying the Mud Monsters?"

Feng Yuan watched the boys with confusion. Qi Xiaoshuang, holding Xiao Bai, the White Shadow Wolf, said

"Those boys always like doing nonsensical things. Honestly, seeing Xiao An like this, it’s likely not their first time."

"They’re so ugly; they shouldn’t stay here. We’re doing this for everyone’s good!"

One of the boys yelled discontentedly at Xiao An. The two Mud Monsters beside him bowed their heads, looking sad. Feng Yuan observed the two Mud Monsters, whose bodies occasionally emanated small pieces of discarded empty cans, food bags, or other trash. Xiao An looked at the Mud Monsters sympathetically and shouted at the boys angrily,

"Doing this for everyone’s good by driving them away?! Did they harm or provoke you?! Is this how you treat wild Spirit Beasts?!..."

Feng Yuan watched in surprise as Xiao An scolded the group. He hadn’t expected her not to get physical. The boys had been happily hitting the Mud Monsters just a moment ago. With this in mind, Feng Yuan went over to check on the two Mud Monsters.

An odd stench wafted from the Mud Monsters, which didn’t surprise Feng Yuan. After all, Mud Monsters were naturally like that, or one could say unless they were tamed through a Taming Beast Contract by a Beastmaster, they often smelled this way, with an odor that couldn’t be dispelled and sometimes garbage peeking out from their bodies before retreating again.

"They seem to be in average health, no issues nutrition-wise, in fact, it seems a bit excessive, but emotionally..."

Looking at the sad expressions of the Mud Monsters, Feng Yuan guessed why they might have appeared here. After all, such Spirit Beasts were not originally widespread in the Divine Land Region.

Just then, one of the boys seemed unable to hold back and pushed Xiao An, berating her to stop meddling. Seeing this, Qi Xiaoshuang couldn’t help but step forward and push away the boy. Then, Qi Chen, with Ah Mu beside him, stepped forward with a cold voice,

"Argue all you want, but why resort to violence!"

Looking at Qi Chen and then at Ah Mu behind him, the boys shrank back. They couldn’t fight against Qi Chen. Qi Xiaoshuang was one thing—with her little White Wolf, which didn’t seem to have much combat power—but Qi Chen was different. His demeanor clearly indicated he owned his own Divine Beasts, and they surely could not beat a Beastmaster.

"We’re doing this for everyone’s good, how can you let these filthy things enter our community! If they loiter around here, how could our community ever win the title of Maomu City’s Most Beautiful Community?!"

One of the boys said righteously, believing that Mud Monsters—a type of Spirit Beast—shouldn’t appear in their community as they indeed pollute the environment. Feng Yuan was somewhat surprised as he glanced at the boys. He hadn’t expected them to think this way. Qi Xiaoshuang didn’t know how to retort for a moment, while Xiao An angrily said,

"Is this how you think? Just for the so-called beautiful community, you can’t even accommodate them?! What about all the things our teachers have been saying..."

Glancing at Xiao An, who was arguing with the boys, Feng Yuan turned to the two Mud Monsters and asked,

"What exactly is the situation? I believe you didn’t do this on purpose, and haven’t you sought help from anyone else to explain for you?"

"What? Is there a problem?"

Qi Chen asked Feng Yuan somewhat puzzled, feeling as if Feng Yuan knew something. Feng Yuan looked around and said,

"Aren’t you curious why a non-Divine Land Region native Spirit Beast would appear here? Just think about their abilities and it’s clear. What baffles me is that under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t easily show themselves before you."

Looking at the boys and Xiao An, Feng Yuan spoke with an indescribable expression, feeling it might not have been the right thing to do, but it seemed like the Mud Monsters had already coexisted with humans for a long time.

At this moment, the two Mud Monsters appeared to be communicating something. Agunas listened for a while then shook his tail,

"You guessed it. The sewer system in the underground of this district is blocked. They had to come out to seek help, but it seems like they couldn’t find anyone from those days."

Agunas looked at the two Mud Monsters somewhat curiously. According to what the Mud Monsters had said, there should have been quite a few people aware of them.

"Could it be that they didn’t look in the right place? Considering the age of those who built the district, those people should be quite old by now, perhaps their children have taken them elsewhere to live out their years comfortably."

"But isn’t that wrong too? Didn’t anyone take over?"

Feng Yuan asked Xiao An with a confused face, to which she replied, perplexed,

"Take over what?"

"These Mud Monsters should have been here since the district was first established. After all, their greatest skill is Devouring and eliminating sewage and garbage. That’s also why you see the wild Mud Monsters near human living areas looking like this. They weren’t originally like this. Aside from their not-so-pleasing appearance, Mud Monsters that haven’t Devoured sewage and trash have no other flaws."

"However, I didn’t expect Maomu City to still have an underground sewer system,"

Feng Yuan said with some astonishment. He had always thought that these systems only existed in ancient cities of the Dynasty Era, and was surprised to find them in Maomu City. However, considering Maomu City was once part of those ancient cities, Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan and casually explained,

"Hasn’t that always been there? The sewer system under Fu Yun District is old, located at a relatively shallow depth, and the passageway isn’t large, unlike the newer sewers that are wider, larger, and buried deeper."

"The old sewer system is blocked? That must be reported immediately."

Xiao An hesitated then said aloud. Although she didn’t quite understand what kind of Spirit Beast Agunas was, she trusted that Qi Xiaoshuang’s friend wouldn’t deceive her on such matters. Meanwhile, the boys looked at Feng Yuan skeptically,

"Just because you say so? How could these ugly Spirit Beasts be so kind-hearted?"

"Where have you been during your Spirit Beast knowledge classes?! Mud Monsters have been helping humans clean up trash for a long time. Without them, the Omeilia Region would have been overwhelmed by garbage long ago. What’s there for us to deceive you about!"

Qi Xiaoshuang yelled at the boys angrily. Aside from knowing the truth about Feng Yuan, they were indeed familiar with the data on Mud Monsters. Hence, when Feng Yuan spoke out, she and Xiao An believed him, and thus they did not find Agunas’s translation to be incorrect, given the creatures’ capabilities to typically hide away in the sewers.
