Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1178 - 1179: Getting Close

The pale golden light enveloped Xiao Gu, Agunas glanced at Veronia and didn’t bother to say much, already getting used to her inexplicable fondness for the color gold.

As for Veronia who is supposedly a Divine Beast of the dark side? That’s not something Agunas would divulge, although the truth was first revealed by Feng Yuan, but didn’t you see that he hardly dared to mention it?

Within the pale golden light, Xiao Gu’s figure began to change, and seeing this, Xu Chengtian was overjoyed yet worried, his gaze fixed on Xiao Gu, he asked Feng Yuan in a low voice

"Does Xiao Gu need the help of a Divine Beast for every evolution in the future?"

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly

"How could that be possible? You wish it was that good. Divine Beasts assisting with every evolution? Not even the Beast Tamers with Divine Pacts have such luck."

"Is that a good thing?"

Chen Xin looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion; something didn’t seem quite right to her. Shrugging his shoulders, Feng Yuan explained

"Otherwise? The intervention of a Divine Beast in evolution would lead to a potential enhancement; how can this not be a good thing? As for needing Divine Beasts for future evolutions, that is unnecessary, as long as it can control the excess power within itself properly, there won’t be any adverse effects on evolution."

"Adverse effects on evolution?"

Noticing the issue in Feng Yuan’s words, Chen Xin asked with some surprise, and nodding, Feng Yuan said

"Correct, during evolution, those uncontrolled powers could cause all kinds of accidents to happen, and failing evolution is considered lucky—explosions and such are not out of the ordinary."

Though typically evolution is not dangerous, harboring uncontrollable power is another matter. At such times, unstable energies might erupt within the Spirit Beast during evolution, resulting in death or serious injury if not fatal.

This was precisely why the One-leaf Fox has not been able to evolve; even though that power belongs to its future self, to it at present, it’s Alien Energy out of control, and its body passively rejects evolution to avoid danger.

"So that’s how it is, well, that’s a relief."

Glancing at the pale golden light that was dissipating slowly, Chen Xin said somewhat happily; at least, the reason for Xiao Gu’s inability to evolve lay in those energies, and it did not genuinely rely on the aid of Divine Beasts. Otherwise, with so many evolutions required for the One-leaf Fox, almost one per level, where would Xu Chengtian find enough Divine Beasts to help every time?

Seeing Xiao Gu’s figure appear, Xu Chengtian didn’t bother to ask further and rushed forward to closely observe Xiao Gu. With a swish of its tail on Xu Chengtian’s head, Xiao Gu looked somewhat angrily at Xu Chengtian; this guy was really over-worried, even shaking it up and down. Holding Xiao Gu, Xu Chengtian said something happily.

"Hello, my name is Xu Manman, what exactly did you..."

At this moment, a girl in an evening dress came over and spoke to Veronia, but before she could finish, she was quickly pulled aside by Zhong Liuyan, who whispered something in her ear, causing her face to change color and she kept apologizing to Veronia.

Glancing at Xu Manman, Veronia didn’t feel like saying anything. She has seen enough people trying to flatter her; what could their intent be if not knowing? Just because she helped the One-leaf Fox evolve and thought she had some special method they’d want to make connections with, and as for why the person didn’t dare to continue approaching after Zhong Liuyan revealed her identity, it was simply because those clan heirs were very clear that Divine Beasts naturally have little regard for them.

So, unless necessary, they wouldn’t approach and needlessly embarrass themselves.

With Xu Manman leaving, the scene seemed to regain calm, but because of the One-leaf Fox’s unique evolution glow, those from the clans were always looking for opportunities to cozy up to Feng Yuan. In the beginning, Feng Yuan dealt with them in stride, but gradually his patience waned, and after a while, he could no longer bear it and pulled Qi Chen and the others into a corner to hide.

Seeing this, those people naturally didn’t dare to continue provoking Feng Yuan; after all, it was obvious that he was angered, and if they continued to ’bother’ him, nobody knew what he might do—Feng Yuan certainly wasn’t as ’polite’ as they were.

Watching the growing number of guests, Feng Yuan yawned, and by now his classmates naturally sensed the situation and subconsciously gathered together. There was no helping it; they didn’t interact well with the offspring of the major clans, except for a few their age. Now, the room was filling up with considerably older men and women as well.

But thinking about it, such a scenario was to be expected; the other families would certainly send representatives, and certainly not just the younger members. The reason they hadn’t appeared earlier was simple. Glancing at the polite middle-aged man who kept smiling as he spoke with others, Feng Yuan and classmates realized he must be Zhong Liuyan’s father.

Truth be told, it was their first time seeing Zhong Liuyan’s parents. Every time the school had a parent-teacher meeting, Zhong Liuyan’s parents had reasons not to attend. Of course, they hadn’t understood why at first, but after learning about Zhong Liuyan’s family background in the last term, they realized her parents might have truly been busy.

After all, which member of the major clans was ever truly at leisure?

Yawning again, Feng Yuan hugged Xiao Ji as he sat on the sofa with his head resting on Xiao Ji’s, watching people with a look of boredom. He had absolutely no interest in so-called social gatherings. Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen were whispering to each other, seemingly just passing the time as well.

Glancing towards where his classmates were, they seemed to be gesturing and talking about something. Pointing at their own Beast Tamers from time to time, there was no need for Feng Yuan to eavesdrop to guess they were discussing the recent guidance match; after all, it was quite important for them.

Noticing the busy Pei Yu, Feng Yuan glanced towards Zhong Liuyan’s father, only then realizing that the man seemed to be secretly watching Pei Yu, occasionally showing a relieved smile.

"Really... such a little princess."

Feng Yuan remarked in a low voice, while Veronia, who was looking at her phone, glanced at him, puzzled, not quite understanding why he would say that. Agunas flicked its tail and asked, confused,

"Who are you talking about?"

"Zhong Liuyan. Compared to Chen Xin, she seems much more fortunate."

Scratching Xiao Ji’s neck gently, Feng Yuan said softly. He looked back and, realizing that Chen Xin wasn’t behind him, let out a sigh of relief. Veronia looked up and, after scanning him briefly, said,

"Even she can’t avoid doing things she dislikes, right?"

"No helping it, no one gets everything their way..."

With a sigh, Feng Yuan slowly closed his eyes; Xiao Ji, feeling a bit displeased, twitched its body as Feng Yuan was still pressing on its head. Though a little pressing was fine, it would start feeling uncomfortable if it lasted too long.

Opening his eyes, Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji lying on the sofa; after a while, it seemed uncomfortable and promptly transformed into its Little Husky form, curling up and falling asleep on the sofa. Seeing this, Xiao Ji fetched a blanket from nearby to cover Little Husky. Perhaps because there were more guests today, the air conditioning in the hall was very strong, and even Xiao Ji felt a trace of chill.

Qi Chen, who was in the midst of speaking to Dou Yanlan, noticed the commotion here and scratched his head in confusion before whispering something to Dou Yanlan and heading towards where his classmates were. At this corner, only Feng Yuan, transformed as Little Husky and curled up asleep, along with his Spirit Beast companions, remained.

"Hmm... is it time to eat yet?"

Wagging its tail, Little Husky rubbed its eyes and returned to its original form, waking Feng Yuan. Xiao Ji barked a few times as if to say something, and Agunas, glancing over at Zhong Liuyan who was standing in front of Feng Yuan, translated,

"It’s just letting you know that there’s a place here where you can rest."

"I’m sorry, there are a lot of guests, and you might be feeling bored," freewebnσvel.cøm

Zhong Liuyan said to Feng Yuan with an apologetic tone. The others had already moved to the entertainment hall, but she had noticed that Feng Yuan had not followed, so she came to check on him. It couldn’t be helped; Feng Yuan’s group of Spirit Beasts, even tucked away in a corner, were still conspicuously noticeable.
