154: Chapter 154: Wanting to Make Amends_1 154: Chapter 154: Wanting to Make Amends_1 “Feng Yuan, Captain Yang is looking for you.”
During the afternoon class, after Teacher Yan left for a while, he came back with a gloomy face and said to Feng Yuan, who put Xiao Ji on his head and carried the egg of Agunas as he turned and walked away.
Teacher Yan thought for a moment, then gave a few instructions to everyone and followed Feng Yuan to the school gate.
There, they saw Captain Yang, who looked somewhat exhausted, and Meng Binglan, with tear-streaks still on her face.
Feng Yuan let out a sigh and said,
“What do you need me for?”
“Help us reach out to the White Wolf Deity.
We need to correct the mistakes we’ve made.”
Do you think history is a playground that we can just change at will?
I’ve said it before, that was the only chance.
If we couldn’t correct history that time, there would never be another opportunity.
It’s still the same now.”
…Why didn’t you stop it then?
You had already realized!”
Feng Yuan, whose collar was being grasped by Captain Yang, said with a sneer,
“Do you think you would have listened to me?
Since dissuasion was useless, why bother interfering?
At the end of the day, it seems like it’s just one more evil organization.”
Captain Yang fell silent, knowing that what Feng Yuan said was true.
Meng Binglan looked at Feng Yuan with a hint of despair and asked,
“Is there really no way?”
Feng Yuan shook his head and said,
That period has already been altered twice in a row.
If it’s changed again, it could cause problems with the entire spacetime.
So it’s not just the White Wolf Deity, even Lorraine Tower couldn’t approach that time period now.”
Understanding that what Feng Yuan said was factual, Captain Yang had already inquired with the higher-ups and the Divine Beast Hall before coming here.
Their responses were similar to what Feng Yuan said, and seeking Feng Yuan was but a last glimmer of hope.
Seeing Feng Yuan was also helpless, Captain Yang inwardly resolved to completely eradicate the Transcend Sect.
Watching the two leave, Teacher Yan said with a touch of sentiment,
“Is there really no way?”
“Not in the short term…”
Teacher Yan took note of the implication in Feng Yuan’s words.
Feng Yuan looked at the egg of Agunas in his arms and said,
Because of the two consecutive alterations, that time period has become extremely fragile.
All Time Series powers are unable to get close to it.
To correct that error, we can only wait for the time period to recover or…”
“Rely on the ultimate technique to soothe time fluctuations…”
“No, it hasn’t appeared in the modern era yet…”
Knowing that there was still a chance to mend the wrongdoing committed by Captain Yang and the others, Teacher Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Feng Yuan somewhat helplessly,
“Doing this will make them hate you, and Captain Yang is not just anybody…”
Besides, Captain Yang won’t hate me.
After all, this is a mess they created themselves.
What else can I do to stop them?
if worst comes to worst, I’ll just ask the White Wolf Deity or some other Divine Beast to help me sort her out.”
Watching Feng Yuan go back to the battlefield, the chill in Feng Yuan’s words just now still echoed in Teacher Yan’s ears.
He understood that the last sentence implied by Feng Yuan was not a simple matter of sorting things out.
Seeing Feng Yuan return, Qi Chen curiously pulled him aside and asked in a low voice,
“What does Captain Yang want with you?
Did something happen again?”
Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and said,
Nevermind, it’s not a big deal anyway.”
Feng Yuan briefly described his exchange with Captain Yang at the school gate.
Qi Chen, somewhat puzzled, asked,
“Did you really notice the problem at that time?”
“Yeah, I knew about it when Meng Binglan started messing with those things, but I just couldn’t be bothered.”
Looking at Qi Chen, who seemed a bit angry, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,
“Do you think they would have believed what I said?
It was pointless to talk, so why bother?
It wasn’t that big of a trouble anyway.”
What about those Spirit Beasts?
“If they don’t learn their lesson now, when they traverse time again, who knows what consequences they’ll cause.
As for the Spirit Beasts…
I promise I’ll sort out their issue in time, okay?”
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen was first delighted, but remembering what Feng Yuan had emphasized before, hesitated for a moment and asked,
Correcting it again would be like altering history again, right…”
“Yo, it’s rare that you’re this alert, huh?
There’s definitely a cost, but there are ways to minimize the damage to time.
Anyway, it’s a cost I can still bear~”
“Don’t forget, I did tweak the legend of the Lei Tan deity a little bit~”
Feng Yuan said with a mysterious smile, and after staring at him for a while, Qi Chen sighed and said,
“Forget it, just be careful…
Although I can’t bear to see the kind of thing that the Transcend Sect has done, I don’t want you to get into trouble because of it…
“Don’t worry~ I won’t pay a high price for that kind of thing~”
“Stop it, this isn’t your bed.”
Seeing Feng Yuan place Agunas’s egg beside the pillow, the Dreaming Dragon Baby, accustomed to resting beside Feng Yuan’s pillow, immediately protested loudly.
Feng Yuan poked the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s head helplessly as Qi Chen glanced over and said calmly,
“You’re just asking for trouble.
Just look at Xiao Ji.”
Seeing Xiao Ji’s aggrieved look, Feng Yuan sighed, picked up Xiao Ji, and whispered,
“How about you sleep with me during this time?”
Xiao Ji turned its head away angrily.
After scratching his head helplessly and pacifying Xiao Ji for a while, Xiao Ji finally quieted down.
Feng Yuan looked at Agunas’s egg somewhat relieved and said,
“It’s a good thing it’ll probably hatch soon, or else it would have been troublesome…”
Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion.
Feng Yuan rubbed Xiao Ji’s fluffy head and explained,
“Agunas isn’t a newborn Spirit Beast; it’s more like a reincarnation, though it doesn’t have the memories of its past life.
The eggs of non-newborn Spirit Beasts hatch very quickly~”
Xiao Ji vigilantly watched Agunas’s egg as Feng Yuan, understanding what Xiao Ji was thinking, smiled and rubbed its head, saying,
“Don’t worry~ Agunas won’t take your place~”
Seeing Xiao Ji’s skeptical face, Feng Yuan hugged Xiao Ji and nuzzled it with his face, saying,
“Besides, don’t you think it’d be fun to have a little bro to take out with us~”
Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji looked at him disdainfully and glanced out of the corner of its eye at the Dreaming Dragon Baby quietly pushing Agunas’s egg aside.
Feng Yuan scratched his head and said with a bright smile,
“That was an accident…
The Dreaming Dragon Baby is stronger than you; there’s nothing I can do about it…”
Xiao Ji turned away angrily, and after Feng Yuan moved Agunas’s egg back and continued talking to Xiao Ji, Big Cat fiddled with the computer while pricking up its ears to eavesdrop, and its eyes spun around curiously.
The next day, after packing up, Xiao Ji called out, indicating that Feng Yuan should pick it up.
Looking at the egg in his arms, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said helplessly,
“Don’t you usually like sitting on my head?”
Despite much persuasion, Xiao Ji remained stubborn.
Feng Yuan sighed helplessly and said,
“How can I hold you ?”
After looking at the egg in Feng Yuan’s arms, Xiao Ji glared at him poutingly.
Big Cat turned off the computer, walked over, and pointed with its wing first at the egg and then at itself.
Feng Yuan asked with some curiosity,
“Are you saying you want to help me carry Agunas’s egg?”
Feng Yuan hesitated for a moment but then, seeing Xiao Ji sulking, he looked seriously at Big Cat and said,
“If you’re going to help me with it, you can’t go far from me, okay?
It’d be troublesome if something happened.”
Big Cat nodded again.
Relieved that Big Cat was willing to help carry Agunas’s egg, Feng Yuan adjusted his backpack, placing it securely in front of Big Cat, and after making sure it was stable and the egg wouldn’t fall out, he said to Big Cat,
“Then I’m counting on you.
Once it hatches, it won’t be so much trouble…”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan walked to a cabinet and, under Big Cat’s expectant gaze, pulled out a bag of special Spirit Beast Candy and handed it to Big Cat, saying,
“Consider this as your reward.”
The Dreaming Dragon Baby looked at Feng Yuan discontentedly.
Feng Yuan poked it and said,
“You still have the nerve to be upset?
Who was it that sneaked around moving Agunas’s egg last night?”
Ignoring the petulant Dreaming Dragon Baby, Feng Yuan handed a few candies to Xiao Ji and left with Xiao Ji and Big Cat in arms.
The Dreaming Dragon Baby, looking unhappy, floated over and complained to Najia.
