Captain Chen looked puzzled at Feng Yuan, who smiled and said,
“Closeness doesn’t mean one can become a Divine Pact Maker.”
Watching Nagna eat the food Xiao Ji handed over with glee, Captain Chen shook his head and didn’t dwell on the matter any longer, but still couldn’t help stealthily glancing at Nagna during the meal.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, here’s your dinner.”
A while later, Xia Zihuai came over with a plate of food and placed it in front of Nagna.
Nagna and Xiao Ji were sharing and exchanging food, while the Dreaming Dragon Baby, having finished its own meal, looked on with longing eyes.
Seeing this, Feng Yuan shook his head with a smile.
“Let’s go, it’s getting late.”
Feng Yuan picked up the paper-wrapped package from the table, cradled Xiao Ji, and glanced at the sullen Dreaming Dragon Baby nearby.
The Dreaming Dragon Baby, catching on, floated up onto Feng Yuan’s shoulder.
Nagna vanished with a flash of light, leaving Captain Chen sighing with a touch of regret.
Does Sister Zi Huai have something else?”
“Can you wait a moment?”
Hearing Xia Zihuai’s request, Captain Chen nodded and said,
“Alright, but make it quick.”
Seeing Xia Zihuai turn around and run off to do something, Feng Yuan tilted his head in confusion.
After a moment, Xia Zihuai returned with a bag and handed it to Feng Yuan, saying,
“This is for your late-night snack~”
Surprised, Feng Yuan took the bag and casually placed the paper package inside, thanking Xia Zihuai,
Xia Zihuai stood smiling, her head tilted as she watched the two leave.
On the drive back, Captain Chen spoke to Feng Yuan with a hint of dissatisfaction,
“You should have made a pact with Nagna.
You know, as of now, Wu Feng is the only known student Divine Pact Maker in Great Xia.
If you became one too, let alone anything else, the dangerous incident this afternoon wouldn’t have happened.”
“But nothing dangerous happened this afternoon, did it~”
“If it weren’t for Nagna’s sudden appearance, you would have been in trouble already!
Damn it, what are those crazies from the G Organization thinking, sending high-level agents to our little place !”
Listening to Captain Chen’s angry words, Feng Yuan shook his head with a laugh and said,
“I feel like you guys really want me to become a Divine Pact Maker.
Granny Mianlan too, it’s a bit strange.”
Captain Chen stayed silent, not replying, and the car suddenly fell into a peculiar quiet, broken only by the sound of the engine echoing inside.
After a while, Captain Chen slowly began,
“Because the regional competition that occurs every five years is about to start.”
“Regional competition?”
After pondering for a moment, Feng Yuan pulled out his phone and searched for some information, saying,
“The one being held at the end of next year?
But what does that have to do with me becoming a Divine Pact Maker?
By that time, I will just be starting university, right?”
“There are already four Divine Pact Makers in the Omeilia Region, that’s why we’re hoping you can become one.”
Is there even a point in competing?”
Feng Yuan exclaimed in surprise, as he had not paid attention to this information before.
Captain Chen said with little confidence,
“Maybe we can still win if we try hard enough…”
“Easy for you to say.
Even if the four on the other side aren’t Divine Beasts specialized in combat, they could still crush us.
You don’t believe there’s someone among the students who could make a pact with a Sacred Beast, do you?”
Captain Chen sighed without further comment, and Feng Yuan, somewhat bored, played with Xiao Ji’s tuft of hair on its head while gazing out at the night scenery through the window.
Feng Yuan announced cheerily as he opened the dormitory door.
Qi Chen, lying on the bed, turned to glance at Feng Yuan and said,
“Where have you been?
Any later and you might have had to spend the night outside.”
If the dormitory locks, I can just clamber through a window.”
If you get caught, let’s see if the form teacher won’t scold you all morning and make you write a 20,000-word reflection.”
“Then I just won’t get caught~”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan placed the bag on the table and said,
“There’s food in the bag, do you want to try some?”
“No thanks, I don’t feel like eating at this hour.”
“Xiao Ji~ let’s go take a bath~”
Watching Feng Yuan drag the wailing Xiao Ji away, Qi Chen turned his back somewhat helplessly and continued reading his book, while Feng Yuan, dragging Xiao Ji, said with a hint of resignation,
“Why do you hate baths so much, you always scream so miserably every time.”
It took Feng Yuan a great deal of effort to finally wash Xiao Ji clean, and after changing his clothes, he walked out to find that Dreaming Dragon Baby was not sleeping, but was miserably gazing at him beside the bag.
Feng Yuan approached with a smile, took out the wrapped package, and put it aside.
He then opened the food box, checked it, and handed a piece of meat to Dreaming Dragon Baby.
Seeing Xiao Ji eagerly jump onto the table looking at him, Feng Yuan smiled and handed Xiao Ji a piece of meat.
Xiao Ji held the meat, compared it with the piece in Dreaming Dragon Baby’s claws, and looked at Dreaming Dragon Baby with pride.
It’s a snack from Cotton Orchid Manor~”
As Feng Yuan took out the compartment with the Spirit Beast food and placed it between Xiao Ji and Dreaming Dragon Baby, he asked Qi Chen.
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen didn’t react at first, but after a while, his face changed, and he sat up and stared at Feng Yuan, saying
“You went to the Cotton Orchid Manor!”
“Yeah, I went to express my gratitude to Granny Mianlan and took Xiao Ji there to show them.
The G Organization’s higher-ups just attacked that area this afternoon!
Can you not go to the suburbs for a while!”
Feng Yuan scratched his head and said with a bright smile upon seeing Qi Chen lose his temper,
“That… I just wanted to take Xiao Ji to show them, after all, they provided so much material…”
Qi Chen took a deep breath to calm his anger and said,
“Sorry for suddenly lashing out at you, it’s just that it’s been really dangerous recently…”
Qi Chen shook his head as he picked up a piece of food to try while a colorful light orb suddenly appeared outside the window.
Feng Yuan watched in surprise as the light orb floated in and hovered beside Xiao Ji, stretching out a small hand to grab the food from the food box.
“A Divine Beast, Nagna!”
Just as Qi Chen was about to lie down, he saw the light orb float in.
Watching the colorful light dissipate to reveal Nagna crouching there eating the food, Qi Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Nagna looked at Qi Chen curiously, then continued to share the food box with Xiao Ji, while Feng Yuan scratched his head, feeling a bit at a loss for words,
“This is troubling, how did Nagna here?”
“You’ve become a Divine Pact Maker!”
Seeing the shock on Qi Chen’s face, Feng Yuan said irritably, and noticing Ah Mu moving out of the little house, Feng Yuan picked him up and placed him on the table, saying
“Ah Mu~ there is food over there, come and eat with us~”
“If you like it, you can have some.”
Seeing Ah Mu looking at him with confusion, Qi Chen responded, pulling Feng Yuan over and asking quietly,
“From what you said, it seems like you know Nagna?”
“Yeah, this afternoon…
well, I met her this afternoon.”
Noticing Feng Yuan’s evasive gaze, Qi Chen’s expression hardened as he said menacingly,
“Was this afternoon’s attack by the G Organization targeting you?”
“I’m asking you as a favor, please don’t leave the city area for a while, okay?
Look how many attacks you’ve had this month.”
Looking into Qi Chen’s earnest eyes, Feng Yuan turned his head and said,
“Alright, I’ll try not to leave the city area.”
“Seeing how reluctantly you agreed…
why don’t you make a pact with Nagna?
That way, at least you’ll be safer when you go out.”
Feng Yuan flatly refused, turned around to stuff some snacks into his mouth, picked up the food box, and offered,
After a moment of silence, Qi Chen looked at Nagna and said to Feng Yuan,
“What do you plan to do about it?
If it keeps following you, your class tomorrow will cause a sensation throughout the school.”
I can only see if Xiao Ji can lure it away.”
“Tomorrow morning is the Beast Taming class, don’t you plan to take Xiao Ji to the class?”
Feng Yuan, seeing Nagna getting very friendly with Xiao Ji, massaged his temples and said,
“I’ll have to see in the morning.”
