Capítulo 1637: Chapter 1638: Ingenuity
When the Data-based Spirit Beast suddenly appeared beside him, Feng Yuan, who was busy watching the confrontation between the security guard and the livestreamer downstairs, turned his head speechlessly to look at Veronia and said,
“Look at what you’ve done.”
“How much does it really have to do with me? I’m just doing what I think is right. As for it, go back and find your companion.”
With a flick of a finger, the Data Spirit Fox was sent back to the Data Domain by an irresistible force. Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised that Veronia had this ability. As long as she was serious, she could interfere with those Domains. After all, the initial World of Mirrors was a step beyond the current World’s Shadow. Even in its incomplete state, it was not to be underestimated.
At this moment, Agunas had to pay attention to this. Upon noticing Veronia’s actions, Agunas looked at her speechlessly and said,
“What are you doing?!”
“What, Drudgeon can do it but I can’t?”
“I… I don’t mean that, it’s just that your actions might have a terrible influence.”
“Heh! Mind your own business.”
Turning around, Veronia said disdainfully with her back to Agunas, as her hands continued their movements. While Agunas and Veronia argued, the staff handling network events at the relevant department were speechlessly watching the Data Spirit Fox that was crying.
They never expected a Divine Beast to be the one taking action. Even if the Data Spirit Fox didn’t recognize Veronia, it could still sense the unique Divine Beast pressure from the other side. Knowing that it was a Divine Beast, the Data Spirit Fox naturally wouldn’t continue trying to track and capture. However, the Data Spirit Fox’s intelligence was limited, making it difficult to clearly express which Divine Beast was causing trouble.
Fortunately, according to the map, they discovered that it was happening in Maomu City…
Upon seeing the location, they didn’t need to probe any further to guess that it was definitely related to Feng Yuan. After all, the resident Divine Beasts around there, besides Drudgeon, were only the two around Feng Yuan. And Drudgeon was essentially active around Cha Mu Town, not appearing in the city center.
Receiving a call from the Special Duty Team, Feng Yuan glanced at Veronia and sighed, explaining to the caller what happened. As for whether he could stop it?
That was really difficult for him, strictly speaking, Veronia hadn’t done anything wrong. Although she acted against ordinary people, it wasn’t without reason. Besides, he wasn’t saintly enough to help those disrupting the academy’s teaching order. If the academy hadn’t blocked its gates and prevented them from coming in, he had no doubt those people would fearlessly cause trouble for him.
After hearing about Veronia’s actions, the Special Duty Team didn’t say much, only stating they would handle the matter.
The chaos at the entrance of Maomu Academy was not unknown to them. They were well aware that if the academy wasn’t blocking the way, those people would definitely harass Feng Yuan. At that point, an enraged Feng Yuan would cause even more trouble.
Thinking of this, the communications officer immediately reported the message. It wasn’t long before Feng Yuan saw journalists and livestreamers who had been trying to get into the academy slowly withdrawing from the entrance. Putting away his phone, Veronia glanced at Agunas and said,
“What do you think of it now?”
“For such matters, you could always talk to me about it, and I would communicate with them. Why do something like this?”
“Heh, you act like I don’t know them. Even if you stepped in, they couldn’t react as quickly. There’s too many involved, and strictly speaking, this isn’t something heinous enough to warrant intervention.”
Rolling her eyes, Veronia said angrily. It’s not that she didn’t understand human affairs, the quick resolution this time was entirely due to her causing a big mess online, forcing the other party to take immediate action. If they went by Agunas’ way, they’d have to wait until Feng Yuan exploded before they had a reason to act.
Official actions must at least appear just on the surface, this is the root of Agunas’ inability to refute.
Although the trouble outside the academy was dispelled by Veronia, inside the school, many still paid attention to Feng Yuan. As for the students? They wanted to probe Feng Yuan for information, but they knew his personality too well—annoy him like that? Don’t expect him to show you any face.
“It’s a relief nothing got out of hand.”
After class, Qi Chen breathed a sigh of relief as he packed his textbooks, and Dou Yanlan smiled slightly, saying,
“Anyone who made it into the academy isn’t a fool, right? We all know Feng Yuan’s unique personality, how could our classmates not understand? As for the others… they aren’t brazen enough.”
Feng Yuan didn’t have a great rapport even with his own class, let alone students from other classes. While others were curious about Feng Yuan’s progress, they weren’t about to run up and ask him, especially since they weren’t familiar.
Everyone admitted into the Beast Taming Academy had their own pride. Even knowing joining Feng Yuan’s project could bring fame or further their research career, they wouldn’t blindly rush to him.
Stretching, Feng Yuan yawned, signaled for the Little Flame Wolf to follow, and picked up Xiao Ji, asking Qi Chen,
“Want to grab lunch together?”
The tail feathers of the eagle-shaped Xiao Ji in Feng Yuan’s arms fluttered slightly, but in the end, it didn’t resist. The Little Flame Wolf wagged its tail eagerly at the mention of lunch. Maybe because the food at the academy’s cafeteria was particularly delicious, only being here two days, it was already hooked.
Hearing Feng Yuan’s invitation for lunch, the Little Flame Wolf nearly leapt in excitement. Seeing this, Agunas became worried. What if it decides to stay with Feng Yuan? Wouldn’t Xiao Ji freak out?
Initially, Xiao Ji didn’t think much of it, just felt that the Little Flame Wolf was similar to itself, both enjoying good food. Unlike the Dreaming Dragon Baby before that liked to snatch food—wait a minute!
The momentarily not-very-bright Xiao Ji suddenly realized, its eyes gleaming with a dangerous light. It turned to look at the Little Flame Wolf trailing behind Feng Yuan. Could that guy be…
Thinking of a certain dangerous possibility, Xiao Ji suddenly became a bit flustered. The Little Flame Wolf’s fur was notably soft, a texture Feng Yuan liked, and if it weren’t for needing treatment for the Little Flame Wolf, Xiao Ji would already be considering how to get rid of it. But, if it stays, what if it doesn’t want to leave?
Considering this, Xiao Ji couldn’t help but struggle. Confused, Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji in his arms and asked,
“Xiao Ji, what’s wrong with you again?”
Breaking free from Feng Yuan’s arms, Xiao Ji looked at him, spread its wings and let out a disatisfied cry, full of grievance. Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said without much patience,
“It’s accusing you of luring in another new Spirit Beast.”
“Hey, hey! Explain that clearly to me! What do you mean by saying I’m luring in new Spirit Beasts again? I haven’t done anything! And where’s this new Spirit Beast coming from?”
“The Little Flame Wolf suspects you plan on keeping it around.”
Glancing at the Little Flame Wolf behind Feng Yuan, Agunas explained. Feng Yuan was speechless for a second and said,
“That’s impossible, it doesn’t belong here and I wouldn’t force it to stay.”
“But you can’t guarantee it won’t choose to stay.”
“No way, Little Flame Wolves are pack Spirit Beasts. They rarely live alone, even when two Little Flame Wolf groups meet, they won’t necessarily fight. If there are enough resources or a strong tribe nearby, they tend to merge.”
Feng Yuan shrugged. He really wasn’t worried that the Little Flame Wolf would choose to stay, because it was impossible. Just because it’s doing fine here, once healed, if given a choice, it would definitely return to its pack.
Of course, some Beastmasters do pick Little Flame Wolves as their Beasts, but they prepare plenty of companions for them. Some don’t just tame beasts, but even all Spirit Beasts belong to the Little Flame Wolf lineage.
Feng Yuan didn’t actually have that many Spirit Beasts, and he wouldn’t keep a bunch of the Little Flame Wolf lineage beasts. That’s just asking for trouble, so the Little Flame Wolf won’t choose to stay with him. However, Xiao Ji didn’t believe Feng Yuan’s words and stared at him suspiciously.
