Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1161 - 1162: Attending the Banquet

"This is their business, I don’t care."

Feng Yuan was indifferent to it. After all, whatever the beast taming competition in the region turned into had little to do with him. Agunas looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said,

"But they might not see it that way, and since it has been following you around, they might think it’s your doing."

"Psh, it’s not like I kept it by my side on purpose. Even if I let it go now, do you think you’d be at ease?"

Feng Yuan scoffed at Agunas, although it seemed that Veronia probably wouldn’t do anything too strange for the time being, nobody could be sure what it might plan on doing if it were to leave, might it think about rebuilding Mitradite again?

Although the chain curse was placed by Xilnais, Feng Yuan was not incapable of removing it. Were it not for concern that Veronia might do something troublesome, he wouldn’t necessarily keep the chain curse. Veronia didn’t say anything as it looked at Feng Yuan. It also knew that many of its actions were somewhat inappropriate for this era.

However, since the Mythical Era, it had scarcely interacted with human society, and it wasn’t about to change itself over this matter.

In the end, Veronia took the Droplet Bubble with it. When Feng Yuan and the others took the Droplet Bubble to the person in charge, he was also startled. He hadn’t expected a wild Droplet Bubble to have mixed in with the group and followed them. As to how he recognized it? He knew all the Droplet Bubbles that belonged to the staff, and he had never seen this additional one before.

Moreover, because wild Droplet Bubbles hadn’t received meticulous care, there were slight differences in their physical traits compared to the staff’s Droplet Bubbles.

Through the fence, looking at the busy Droplet Bubbles inside the closed pool, Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji and asked,

"Come again next time?"

Looking at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji nodded. Although its aversion to water hadn’t completely dissipated, coming here, at least, it didn’t feel too uncomfortable.

Although Feng Yuan had wanted to invite Delong Tower for dinner, the latter had received an invitation from Wang Yu, the person in charge of Maomu City, and, bored, decided to go have a look.

"Oof... Let me sleep a little longer..."

With his eyes closed, Feng Yuan mumbled sleepily. Qi Chen, long accustomed to Feng Yuan’s habit of sleeping in, turned to Xiao Ji and said,

"It’s up to you. Try not to let him be late."

After speaking, Qi Chen turned and left directly. Despite having reminded Feng Yuan last night that today was the day of Zhong Liuyan’s banquet, he still behaved this way.

Although the banquet was scheduled for the evening, Zhong Liuyan’s invitation suggested arriving early in the morning, implying there might be some special arrangement. However, there were only a few days left after the banquet until the last class activity organized by Chen Xin, and he didn’t quite understand why the dates were so close together.

Glancing at the opened bedroom door, Agunas, sitting on the desk, swished its tail. It knew that even if Feng Yuan was late, it wouldn’t be much of a problem. After all, his strength spoke for itself. Compared to Zhong Liuyan’s banquet, Agunas knew that Feng Yuan was more looking forward to that final class group activity. It just wasn’t sure how many people would actually participate in the end.

Xiao Ji gave Feng Yuan a look and thought for a moment before transforming into an Eggshell Chicken and jumping sharply. After a while, Feng Yuan rather speechlessly removed Xiao Ji from his face and said,

"You really are... Can’t you let me sleep in for once?"

Slipping from Feng Yuan’s grip, Xiao Ji landed on the floor, reverted to its original form, and seemed to be saying something. Agunas looked at Xiao Ji and translated,

"It says it’s getting late, if you don’t get up now, you’ll be late later. But, I think you’d better get up quickly, Qi Chen is quite concerned about this."

Although Agunas also didn’t know what exactly Zhong Liuyan wanted by inviting them so early, it could guess that there might be a lot of activities Feng Yuan wouldn’t like, though it estimated Qi Chen probably felt the same. However, he might not guess that—?

"It just said to try to get there at that time, not that one absolutely must arrive before that time."

Yawning, Feng Yuan reluctantly said, if it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have inadvertently played too much last night. Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and said, ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Uninteresting social interaction? Maybe the person didn’t intend to do that?"

"Definitely can’t be all day, but there must be some mixing in there... Yawn~ I’m still so sleepy..."

With a yawn, Feng Yuan staggered to his feet to wash up.

"Why do you seem so uninterested?"

In the car, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion. The latter seemed like he was still half asleep and hadn’t gotten enough rest. Qi Chen’s father, who was driving, could guess why. After all, he was familiar with Feng Yuan’s personality. Knowing that the banquet was to be held in the evening but inviting them to come now, he could guess there was a reason for it.

He sighed. Not knowing how to explain to Qi Chen, he decided to let it be, figuring Qi Chen would understand soon enough. Turning a corner, the car stopped at the entrance of a worn-down street. Qi Chen’s father turned his head to Qi Chen and asked,

"Did you tell her to wait for us at the intersection?"

"Isn’t she right there?"

Qi Chen said and immediately pulled open the car door to get out. Because his father happened to be free today, they decided to take his car to the banquet. Seeing Dou Yanlan dressed in sportswear, Feng Yuan yawned and said,

"It looks like she’s also guessed it."

"Wouldn’t it be weird if she couldn’t guess?"

Veronia said with a slight smile. Dou Yanlan was an excellent Commander from this academy assessment. If she couldn’t figure this out, then the assessment wasn’t worth much. Leaning his hand on the car door and resting his head, Feng Yuan looked at Dou Yanlan, who was explaining something to Qi Chen, and a look of amusement appeared on his face.

"I didn’t expect there might be other activities..."

Glancing at his own formal attire, Qi Chen felt conflicted. Dou Yanlan had mentioned during her explanation that there might be some activities, which is why she didn’t wear a dress but chose sportswear instead, with her dress neatly packed in her backpack to change into when necessary.

Looking at Feng Yuan dressed in a Federation fleet uniform, Dou Yanlan smiled slightly and said,

"Actually, you don’t really need to change into clothes more suited for moving around."

Whether it was Feng Yuan’s uniform or Qi Chen’s formal attire, both were similar to military uniforms and did not restrict movement much. Her dress was a long gown, which was fine for a social gathering, but if there were any touring or sightseeing activities, it would be inconvenient.

She also guessed that Zhong Liuyan surely wouldn’t arrange any intensive activities, considering that everyone was attending the evening banquet. If that were the case, there would surely be a special note in the invitation to remind guests, but Zhong Liuyan’s invitation didn’t mention such things. Also, when everyone was asking in the group chat, although she was secretive and insisted on confidentiality, she didn’t particularly state any precautions.

"I didn’t expect the venue to be arranged at the Golden Manor Hotel in the city."

Seeing Feng Yuan looking drowsy, Dou Yanlan suddenly spoke. Feng Yuan glanced at Dou Yanlan and asked,

"Is there a problem?"

"If there are other activities, it’s generally more appropriate to choose a resort, especially since Maomu City is not short of similar-level resorts."

Dou Yanlan said with some confusion, not quite understanding why Zhong Liuyan would choose a hotel within the city. In reality, neither Cotton Orchid Manor nor Stream Valley Resort was inferior to Golden Manor Hotel in terms of dining and environment. If it really came to environment, they might even have the upper hand, as even the best design inside a Golden Manor Hotel room couldn’t beat their natural landscapes and facilities.

Cotton Orchid Manor and Stream Valley Resort both had enough land to accommodate various natural landscapes and amenities.

But Stream Valley Resort was definitely not an option since Feng Yuan seemed to have some grievances with that place. Although he seemed to be joking, she couldn’t be certain that if he went there, he wouldn’t surreptitiously cause some mischief.

"Cotton Orchid Manor is fully booked; Stream Valley Resort might not be as famous, after all, their owner is not as impressive as his mother-in-law~"

Feng Yuan said somewhat proudly. Hearing Feng Yuan’s response, Dou Yanlan immediately understood why Zhong Liuyan had made such arrangements. When she had discussed this with Zhong Liuyan during their chat, she mentioned that if it were at Stream Valley Resort, Feng Yuan might stir up trouble. Now it seems the reason they didn’t choose Stream Valley Resort could very well be due to that.
