Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1075 - 1076: Perspective

"Repaying kindness with ingratitude?"

Lorna, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, causing everyone to be taken aback. Xiao An began to defend,

"It’s not like that! How would those bad guys know their abilities? It’s just..."

As she spoke, Xiao An gradually found herself at a loss for words. If they truly remembered their kindness, why not publicize it? Even if those boys didn’t know, wouldn’t the staff have a clue?

"Can’t say it anymore? Hypocrisy."

Lorna bluntly uttered before turning and walking aside. As for caring about those two Mud Monsters? She didn’t have the loving heart that Agunas did; she was simply somewhat disgruntled by their behavior. Thinking of something, Lorna looked at Feng Yuan and noticed that he didn’t seem to have a disgusted expression.

"They don’t like to make their existence public because there will always be people who dislike them."

Agunas glanced at the two Mud Monsters and remarked that although they were cleaning the invisible corners of garbage, there would always be people who couldn’t understand or even dislike them. The Mud Monsters didn’t want to ask for trouble. If really publicized, both those who like and dislike them would know they existed.

"Weak."

Lorna seemed somewhat dissatisfied and scratched her head as Feng Yuan looked over at Veronia. Why did he feel like Lorna was somewhat similar to her? Could it be that Lorna was the queen of a kingdom in the past? That couldn’t be right, could it? She wasn’t a Divine Beast, after all.

"What is it?"

Seeing Feng Yuan looking at her peculiarly, Lorna asked in confusion, and scratching his head, Feng Yuan whispered,

"Nothing, it’s just that you seem a bit different from when I first met you..."

"The first meeting?"

Lorna looked at Feng Yuan with some puzzlement and discontentedly said,

"I would never be like back then..."

Suddenly realizing something and falling silent, Lorna sighed and glanced at the two Mud Monsters, saying,

"I just... can’t stand their weak demeanor. Despite their strength, they care so much about what humans think... Even though they could completely defeat those fools, but..."

Hugging Xiao Ji’s neck, Feng Yuan said somewhat oddly,

"But after all, they live among human habitation. If they really went about doing as they please, they would be expelled from the city..."

"And what of it? Begging for human pity?"

Lorna disdainfully said and then, remembering something, glanced at Xiao Ji in Feng Yuan’s arms and sneaked a peek at Feng Yuan, noticing he didn’t seem angry and muttered under her breath, frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"It’s not that I’m saying humans are bad... just... to live poorly because of those irrelevant people is just too... stupid."

"That’s what I’m saying; mere servants daring to do so."

Veronia spun her parasol with a look of frustration, and Agunas glanced at her speechlessly,

"What kind of twisted logic is that? What do you mean ’servants’?"

"Hmph, Little Crocodile, haven’t you enjoyed it? If I remember correctly, Hamilon also had servants dedicated to serving you, or have you forgotten?"

With a flick of her tail, Agunas glared at Veronia and retorted unhappily,

"I haven’t forgotten. It’s just that things are completely different now; don’t keep bringing up things from the Mythical Era."

Seeing Veronia and Agunas arguing, Lorna shook her head and walked over to Feng Yuan. Xiao Ji curiously stared at Lorna, and after looking at Xiao Ji, Lorna whispered,

"Do you find someone like me loathsome?"

"Well... not really, after all, you each have your thoughts, and aren’t there many people with peculiar ideas in the human world?"

"Don’t worry about that kind of thing. Given your strength, there’s no need to pay too much attention to others’ gazes. Just be yourself, right?"

Feng Yuan smiled and scratched Xiao Ji’s neck as he spoke. Lorna looked at Feng Yuan with a mysterious expression and then chuckled softly in a voice only she could hear, saying

"You really haven’t changed at all..."

"The sewer is blocked? How is that possible? Doesn’t that mean this whole time..."

The auntie at the community center was surprised by what Xiao An and Qi Xiaoshuang had said, but after seeing the two Mud Monsters hiding in the corner of the entrance, she seemed to understand something and approached them saying,

"You two must have had a tough time lately. Don’t hide there, come with me, I’ve got some tasty treats."

Seeing that the two Mud Monsters didn’t follow, she revealed a friendly smile and said,

"Don’t be so shy. You’ve helped us so much, it’s just a little something, come along~"

At that moment, the group of little boys who witnessed this scene began to sweat profusely, shifting their feet quietly. They had planned to laugh at their misfortune, but now, hoping to sneak away unnoticed by them. However, Lorna noticed their movements. With a slight wave of her hand, one of the boys fell flat on the ground with a cry, drawing the attention of the auntie.

Just as the little boys were looking for an excuse to slip away, Xiao An briefly explained what had just happened, and the auntie gave them a mysterious smile before telling Xiao An and the others,

"Bring them to the next room and wait there, I’ll be right with you."

Feng Yuan looked at the auntie with confusion in his eyes. He could sense that she was like a volcano building up pressure, ready to erupt. And the target seemed to be those little boys? Although he was tempted to stay and enjoy the drama, after some thought, Feng Yuan decided to give up. Holding it in for too long wasn’t good, and who knows, staying might have ended badly for them? Still, this was rather interesting~

"Such strong combat power~"

Feng Yuan said with a hint of schadenfreude. The Mud Monsters stood nervously in the corner, lost in thought, while Xiao Ji brought over a plate of Spirit Beast flavored candies, placed it in front of them, and seemed to be saying something. Xiao An glanced at Qi Xiaoshuang and chuckled awkwardly. She hadn’t expected Auntie Zhang to be so fierce, although she would catch them making mistakes around the neighborhood from time to time and give them a harsh reprimand. But this time, it seemed...

Listening to the sounds that even the thick walls couldn’t block, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with concern and said,

"They... are they okay?"

"What could go wrong? They’re neighbors, after all. How bad could it get? But I didn’t expect such a big reaction."

"Haven’t you heard about them before?"

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Xiao An with confusion and asked, given how Auntie Zhang seemed to know quite a lot about the Mud Monsters, why didn’t she recognize them as the Spirit Beasts from the neighborhood right away?

After recalling for a moment, Xiao An shook her head and said,

"No, if we knew, I suppose they wouldn’t have dared to do this."

Those little boys may be mischievous, but they aren’t reckless fools. Before, they probably didn’t know that those Mud Monsters lived in the neighborhood and even helped clean up trash, otherwise, they wouldn’t have acted this way.

"Could it really be because they were afraid of being disliked?"

Qi Xiaoshuang said uncertainly, not quite understanding their actions. Xiao An thought for a bit and shook her head,

"I don’t know, maybe it’s really like that?"

After a while, it quieted down outside. Auntie Zhang entered the room, saw the two Mud Monsters enjoying their desserts, and nodded contentedly. Remembering something, she said,

"Right, before you leave, I’ll get you some more to taste our handiwork~"

"Umm... Auntie Zhang, why have we never heard about Mud Monsters in the neighborhood before?"

Xiao An asked with her head down, somewhat afraid to upset her. Hearing Xiao An’s words, Auntie Zhang poured herself a cup of tea and explained,

"That’s because, a long time ago, a bunch of self-proclaimed noble folks wanted to drive out those unsightly Spirit Beasts from the neighborhood. But that happened a very long time ago, shortly after this community was built, when you hadn’t been born yet, so it’s not strange that you don’t know about it."

Draining her tea in one gulp, Auntie Zhang reminisced while saying,

"That incident made quite the uproar back then. Those people had only just made a little money but picked up the bad habits like some broken noble families."

"But at that time, they were in the minority, and their rotten ideas never came to fruition. It seems that after that incident, those rich folks one by one moved away."

"Really, it’s ridiculous. They left and still spread nonsense, I really don’t understand how such scum who disdain Spirit Beasts get by."

As Auntie Zhang told the story of the past, Feng Yuan stealthily pulled Xiao Ji closer, grooming its feathers.
