Chapter 1189: Chapter 1190: True or False
"My precious rest day..."
Liao Yu looked resentfully at Feng Yuan, while Han Lei was stealthily sneaking peeks nearby. Although Feng Yuan cooking in the Stray Spirit Beast Paradise wasn’t a big deal, since this place once indirectly helped them discover anomalies at the border, to avoid Feng Yuan accidentally damaging the homes of the Stray Spirit Beasts, Liao Yu, who finally had a few days off, was sent here. freewebnσvel.cøm
Catching a glimpse of Liao Yu, Feng Yuan said with annoyance,
"Pfft, can’t have a romantic time as a couple, huh? Really, if it bothers you that much, I can cover your shift next time so you can go on a date with her?"
Looking at Feng Yuan speechlessly, Liao Yu hadn’t managed to say anything when Han Lei stepped forward and said,
"That won’t be necessary, it’s fine to be on missions together during regular days, but we really don’t need to be glued together on a rest day."
Scratching his head, Liao Yu looked somewhat disappointed at Han Lei, who then stared at Feng Yuan and said,
"Although your abilities are strong, but..."
"Your ability to cause trouble is even stronger."
Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and voiced out the hard-to-say words of Han Lei. Normally, Feng Yuan covering shifts wouldn’t be a problem as their relationship with him wasn’t extremely bad and they wouldn’t feel embarrassed about his offer to help. However, Feng Yuan was just too good at creating problems, and letting him cover might just cause more issues.
"Pfft!"
As if discontent with the disdain, Feng Yuan turned around to continue handling the food ingredients, and Veronia commanded the Stray Spirit Beasts on how to process the ingredients. Though not all the Stray Spirit Beasts were interested in cooking, the number of Stray Spirit Beasts in the Paradise was increasing, and even a small portion amounted to quite a few.
Surveying those Spirit Beasts, Agunas wondered aloud,
"Speaking of which, with so many Spirit Beasts, can you really handle it?"
Though Feng Yuan’s cooking speed wasn’t slow, Agunas doubted whether Feng Yuan truly had the patience to finish cooking for so many Spirit Beasts. Moreover, making a stew in one pot wasn’t feasible, considering the different species of the Stray Spirit Beasts, they naturally had different tastes.
"It should be fine, I can manage if I use doppelgangers."
Flinging away the droplets of water on his hands, Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji, revealing a sly smile. He then took out an ancient lantern and shook it, making the deep blue flames glow even brighter.
Next to Feng Yuan, a deep blue flame appeared out of nowhere. The deep blue flames burned vividly, and soon grew as tall as Feng Yuan. In a moment, another Feng Yuan walked out from the deep blue flames. Seeing five identical Feng Yuans, Agunas flicked his tail and couldn’t be bothered to say anything.
The Doppelganger Technique wasn’t a particularly rare thing, it was utilized by him too, who was accompanying Feng Yuan as a doppelganger. However, he wouldn’t create as many doppelgangers just for cooking like Feng Yuan did, because controlling doppelgangers consumed a part of his energy. Even for himself, to ensure each doppelganger was capable enough, probably the maximum he could split into was just two.
After all, the limit of his spiritual power was evident; creating more doppelgangers than he could control was pointless.
"Doppelganger Technique? You can use that?"
Liao Yu looked surprisingly at the Feng Yuans, each engaged in totally different actions. After they mingled together for a bit, now even Liao Yu couldn’t discern which one was the real Feng Yuan.
"Why not? My spiritual power fully meets the requirements."
The Feng Yuan, who was gathering ingredients to start cooking, said, while Xiao Ji looked from him to another Feng Yuan, who was carefully handling the ingredients, feeling perplexed.
"Your spiritual power is really strong."
In this regard, Liao Yu couldn’t help but admire him. There was no way around it, the Art of the Doppelganger itself wasn’t something very difficult, but really, the requirements for spiritual power were too demanding, so not many people could actually use this technique.
"Hehe~ Of course~ That’s why I can totally cover your shift easily~"
Picking up the selected ingredients, Feng Yuan talked while walking towards the stove to start cooking. Hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ji chose to trust his instincts and stayed beside the Feng Yuan who was carefully handling the ingredients.
"What are you up to now?"
Just as Qi Chen was bringing over some ingredients that he and Dou Yanlan had prepared for Feng Yuan to cook, he saw the bizarre scene: five Feng Yuans, each busy with their own tasks; the Feng Yuan who was cooking glanced at Qi Chen and said
"Just put the stuff there, I’m just worried I can’t cook it fast enough~"
"So many doppelgangers..."
Dou Yanlan was very surprised to see this scene. Unlike Qi Chen, she was well aware of the difficulty in creating doppelgangers. It was still okay to perform simple actions, but to control so many doppelgangers precisely like now, one needed very strong spiritual power, otherwise, it’s impossible to control them accurately at the same time.
Looking curiously at the Feng Yuan who was cooking and had just spoken to her, then at the Feng Yuan beside Xiao Ji who was processing ingredients, was this guy playing a prank on her again? But that didn’t seem right either, Xiao Ji would obviously give away which one was the real person.
Seeing Qi Chen staring at him, the Feng Yuan who was processing ingredients looked puzzledly at Qi Chen, while the cooking Feng Yuan said
"What are you doing? Is there any problem with my doppelgangers?"
"Which one is your real self?"
Unable to understand, Qi Chen decided not to think too much about it and simply asked directly. If that guy wouldn’t say, he wouldn’t bother pondering too much, lest he be led astray by that guy’s tricks.
Having been with Feng Yuan for so long, he knew full well how to deal with his pranks—just ignore them; he didn’t have enough confidence to decipher Feng Yuan’s pranks anyway.
Dou Yanlan, with her chin pinched, scrutinized these five Feng Yuans— which one was the real person? Normally, doppelgangers are clumsier in their actions, but these doppelgangers of Feng Yuan were obviously exceptions, all as nimble as Feng Yuan himself. Could it be the one who is cooking?
Based on Feng Yuan’s habits, he would strive for perfection while cooking; a doppelganger handling it would certainly not be as flexible as the original. Plus, the one that had just spoken to them was that Feng Yuan. However, Xiao Ji was standing next to the Feng Yuan processing the ingredients, which seemed somewhat amiss.
Knowing Xiao Ji, it would definitely choose to stand by Feng Yuan’s side rather than next to a doppelganger. Agunas flicked its tail and said
"You’ve been tricked by that guy."
Hearing Agunas’s comment, Xiao Ji flicked its tail feather and looked bewilderedly at Agunas, glanced at the Feng Yuan who was picking up ingredients and preparing to cook, and Agunas said
"You indeed successfully tricked them."
If it hadn’t been for that smile showing Feng Yuan’s mischievous triumph when everyone wasn’t paying attention just now, it would have been hard for them to detect which one was the real Feng Yuan.
"What do you mean ’tricked them’?"
The cooking Feng Yuan casually asked, seeing the other still pretending to be oblivious, Agunas floated beside the Feng Yuan it believed to be the real one and said,
"If I hadn’t seen that your expression was off just a moment ago, I might have been fooled by you."
"This is his real self, after all, the strength is apparent."
Veronia, who had brought over some ingredients with the Stray Spirit Beasts, upon hearing Agunas’s words, placed the ingredients down beside another Feng Yuan, who was just about to pick up the plate to start cooking; hearing Veronia’s words, Agunas immediately realized and carefully sensed the energy strength of these five Feng Yuans.
"Really... Why did you have to expose me so soon?"
Glancing at Veronia, the Feng Yuan who was about to grab the plate complained helplessly; if he hadn’t used his doppelgangers, Agunas and the others wouldn’t be able to sense the strength of his energy, but since he did use the doppelganger technique, no matter how finely he controlled it, creating so many lifelike doppelgangers still required considerable energy, resulting in a slight leakage of his power. Although almost no one other than Divine Beast Level could sense it, Agunas and Veronia were of Divine Beast Level strength.
The reason they hadn’t sensed it before was because Feng Yuan’s usual energy strength was imperceptible, but if that was the case...
"Costs a lot of energy?"
Watching Feng Yuan doubtfully, Agunas asked; if not for that, why couldn’t he control the leakage of his own energy? Shaking his head, Feng Yuan stroked the Xiao Ji by his side, which was looking at him plaintively, and said
"Not really, just not very good at hiding it, isn’t that normal?"
It’s not like he could completely hide his own energy while also unleashing a powerful ultimate move; isn’t it normal to have some flaws?
