Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1077 - 1078: Results?

"I’m still a bit concerned about what exactly is blocking the underground sewer."

Qi Xiaoshuang said somewhat reluctantly, and Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Xiaoshuang and said irritably,

"Then you could have just stayed there and waited for the outcome, since I really can’t stand the smell down there."

Looking at Feng Yuan’s sharp ears, Qi Xiaoshuang smiled and suddenly flicked them lightly, which left Feng Yuan speechless and he looked at Qi Xiaoshuang saying,

"What are you doing?"

"You wouldn’t happen to be avoiding that place just to keep up this posture, would you?"

"Kind of, I also need to be more cautious in case someone is targeting Little Ice Cream."

Feng Yuan said casually while scratching Xiao Ji’s neck,

"Besides, it’s not suitable for it to go down there either, I really don’t want to go to such places unless necessary."

"I guess whatever is blocking that place might just be some strange plants or creatures, I believe the Special Duty Team would’ve noticed if it were something unusual."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Xiaoshuang pondered and had to admit that perhaps what Feng Yuan said was the truth. If it were animals or even Spirit Beasts, those Mud Monsters are not completely devoid of combat ability—or rather, the combat power of those Mud Monsters isn’t weaker than ordinary Spirit Beasts of the same level.

Although their appearance is not likable, their combat ability is indeed not bad. Unfortunately, their combat power hasn’t reached the strongest of their level, otherwise, despite their unappealing looks, many Beast Tamers would still choose them.

"Huh? A problem in the sewer?"

Liao Yu, who was conducting post-event clean-up in the square, heard the message from Captain Chen and said with a bitter face, having been in the underground sewers of Maomu City before for certain cases where they had to go in to search for people. Although it wasn’t his first time going in, he couldn’t stand the smell each time he was there.

He couldn’t understand how those guys managed to stay there for so long and even live there internally. Seeing Liao Yu’s reluctant expression, Ye Hanlei said helplessly,

"It’s not certain yet. The assistance request coming from Fu Yun District just mentioned there are unmanageable strange creatures needing combat support."

"Fu Yun District? Isn’t that nearby?"

Remembering something, Liao Yu looked around, seeming not to see Feng Yuan’s figure. Huo Feng looked at Liao Yu doubtfully and asked,

"What are you looking for?"

"Feng Yuan. Wasn’t he just here? Could this matter be related to him?"

"Weird, why do I feel like someone is watching me?"

Turning his head to look behind, Feng Yuan frowned slightly, and Agunas flicked his tail and said,

"It wouldn’t be surprising if it’s because you’ve thwarted their plans several times that they’ve got their eyes on you."

Staring at Agunas for a long time, Feng Yuan said speechlessly,

"Do you believe that? It would make things easier if they were watching me, otherwise, being this passive isn’t good at all."

Lorna spoke after a moment of silence,

"Why, with your abilities, couldn’t you easily erase those small nations without a trace?"

"It’s possible, but that doesn’t mean other Divine Beasts would allow me to do that. After all, we have to live here. We can’t just fight the whole world. Moreover, with Lorraine Tower and others helping, there’s really no need for me to do so."

Seeing Feng Yuan looking towards him, Agunas flicked his tail and said,

"I can’t directly intervene in this war, of course. But I’ll find the right opportunity, at least keeping Great Xia safe shouldn’t be a problem."

"Thanks～"

"Shall we start with customizing a doll? Oh, and your gown as well~"

As they reached the entrance of the department store, Feng Yuan excitedly proposed, seemingly remembering something as he looked at Qi Chen and paused, Qi Chen puzzledly said,

"Why would I need a gown? Those things are expensive."

"The dinner party by Zhong Liuyan, didn’t she say she would prepare? Plus, there might be a welcome gala from Maomu Academy waiting for you, who knows, your invitation list might just keep expanding~"

Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen with a strange smile, rolling his eyes Qi Chen replied annoyed,

"How could that be? I have no money or power, why would they invite me?"

"Top students~ what do you think~ We can’t just not show goodwill, right? Let’s go go go~ Xiao Shuang, let’s pick a gown for your brother~ Oh, and we need one for Dou Yanlan too~"

Heading behind Qi Chen, Feng Yuan straightforwardly pushed him towards the gown store, suddenly realizing something odd, Qi Xiaoshuang asked,

"How do you know my brother is a top student? It shouldn’t have been announced yet."

Though the results would be officially released in a couple of days, Feng Yuan was merely a special examiner, and it was unlikely that the assessment scores from the academy would be expressly told to him, as for going and asking himself? That was even more unlikely, to prevent cheating, those in charge of confirming and verifying scores are not to have contact with the outside world before the official release.

"Peeking into the future, but that should be hard to affirm."

Lorna looked at Feng Yuan with an indescribable expression, he seemed... after thinking, Lorna shook her head, not noticing Lorna’s subtle motion, Feng Yuan laughed and said,

"No need to peek into the future, just asking Captain Yang for help is enough, I didn’t check anyone else’s results, just a few friends is fine~"

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly, she indeed hadn’t expected this, although they all knew Feng Yuan had helped Great Xia a lot, if he really wished to inquire, indeed it was not impossible, but ordinary people wouldn’t waste their efforts on such matters, merits recognized, they wouldn’t unprinciply keep aiding you just because you have contributed to Great Xia.

"You really are... even for such minor matters..."

Qi Chen didn’t know how else to address him, just a few days left and he’d know the results, yet that guy actually went through the trouble to ask Captain Yang? Veronia did understand what to say,

"Indeed, it’s quite appropriate to do so, one can’t just keep giving unilaterally."

After all, she was one of the rulers of Mitradite and understood naturally, if Feng Yuan kept aiding Great Xia without receiving anything in return, the thought processes on both sides would gradually start to diverge, aside from family, no relationship can sustain on unilateral contributions forever.

Qi Chen and Qi Xiaoshuang looked puzzledly at Veronia, Agunas frowned slightly, unlike Veronia, Hamilon due to its small territory and certain peculiarities, rarely dealt with Hamilon’s affairs, naturally unaware of how to treat such matters.

Seeing Qi Xiaoshuang and Qi Chen seemingly confused, Veronia lightly chuckled saying,

"You only need to know, for some of his harmless requests, Great Xia is actually quite happy to see them fulfilled."

"Can’t understand..."

Qi Xiaoshuang said with a headache-filled expression, she really couldn’t figure it out, as for Qi Chen? If he could not understand, he wouldn’t dwell on it, after all, Veronia wouldn’t just deceive them out of boredom, but that Great Xia was actually pleased to see Feng Yuan’s actions? That he hadn’t expected, perhaps he should ask Dou Yanlan another day? He suddenly realized, he might be a bit too reliant on Dou Yanlan? But then again... he’s tried, he can’t achieve it like Feng Yuan, let alone Dou Yanlan.

"You will naturally understand in the future, but it’s really surprising, Dou Yanlan was just a bit shy of being a top student."

"How come? Is Yanlan not a top student?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen was momentarily stunned, he hadn’t expected such an outcome, given this year’s assessment was more catered to Yanlan’s strengths, how could her scores be lower than his? It doesn’t seem likely. Qi Xiaoshuang looked doubtfully at Feng Yuan and said,

"Is it really so? What about you? Are you also a top student?"

"Me? How could it be? Of course, I’m not, I didn’t even take part in the assessment."

Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said exasperatedly, the main portion of the scores was from the first day’s practical assessment, and at that time he was an examiner, as for the second day’s potential examination? That was just to fill his admission records, it was never meant to be counted towards his results, not even rated, how could he be a top student?

"So... how much higher are her scores compared to my brother?"

Qi Xiaoshuang was still somewhat incredulous, although Dou Yanlan seemed not as capable as Qi Chen, her methods were certainly much stronger than Qi Chen’s, and this year’s assessment, focusing particularly on small team combat capabilities, it just didn’t seem likely that she would score lower.
