Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1087 - 1088 Lorna’s Choice

"Is that so? Then there’s no need to mind them."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Lorna decisively abandoned her previous decision. Seeing Feng Yuan’s surprised face, Veronia explained on the side,

"It has always been like this, as long as the goal is achieved, the process doesn’t matter. Moreover... it has a certain disregard for life."

Veronia’s expression became a bit odd as she spoke. Feng Yuan, however, guessed that this disdain for life mentioned by Veronia was probably not so simple, especially since Veronia herself didn’t seem to care much for the lives of ordinary humans and spirit beasts. Lorna glanced at Veronia and said calmly,

"As long as the goal can be achieved, the process is not important. Moreover, those who hinder me are all enemies. What is there to say about dealing with enemies?"

Agunas glanced at Lorna and said coldly,

"What if Gladys is the one standing in your way?"

"Her? If it’s not particularly important, I might let her off the hook. If it is..."

Lorna furrowed her brows, seemingly hesitant about something. Feng Yuan was startled and said,

"Well, there’s no need to be so extreme, is there? If you’re really like this, would you have any friends?"

"This..."

Lorna looked at Feng Yuan with an indescribable expression, causing him to feel somewhat guilty and baffled, not quite understanding what Lorna meant. After a long while, Lorna sighed and said,

"Alright, if that’s what you wish, I can change."

Xiao Shuang, who was observing Feng Yuan trying to persuade Lorna, felt something was odd. She’d heard Qi Chen mention Lorna before, but, the situation seemed a bit off now. Could it be that Lorna was Feng Yuan’s spirit beast? But that was impossible; if she really belonged to that guy, with his personality, he certainly wouldn’t act like this. At the very least, he would have taken her home first.

But if not, what was up with Lorna’s unusual situation? Moreover, had Feng Yuan really never been to the Mythical Era? Although he said he hadn’t, Lorna and Veronia knew each other and were clearly old acquaintances, which meant Lorna must have lived through the Mythical Era.

The more she thought about it, the more confused Xiao Shuang became, and she gave up trying to delve into Lorna’s background. It was simply incomprehensible, and judging by Feng Yuan’s behavior, it seemed he didn’t know what was going on either.

Returning to the gardening shop, Feng Yuan patted Kong Qing’s head and praised it, resulting in Xiao Ji squeezing in with a look of grievance at Feng Yuan. After patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said with a bit of amusement,

"You know... isn’t Kong Qing’s space also very beneficial for you?"

Xiao Ji chirped dissatisfiedly, seemingly expressing discontent, while Kong Qing hissed as if trying to say something. Patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Do you really want to camp out in the wild? With Kong Qing’s little space, can’t we sleep well when we’re out in the wild?"

Seeing Xiao Ji’s confusion, Feng Yuan didn’t explain further. After all, it would understand eventually. Seeing Qi Chen standing still, Feng Yuan nudged him and said,

"Didn’t I say I’d give you a potted plant? Aren’t you going to take a look? Don’t talk about turning it down—I doubt the old man would be happy. Besides, this is a gift for Ah Mu; don’t you want to leave anything for it?"

"That... aren’t you thinking too far ahead?"

Qi Chen was stunned for a moment before looking speechlessly at Feng Yuan. He understood what Feng Yuan’s last sentence meant. Wasn’t this guy thinking too much? Considering such distant matters at this time? Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said irritably,

"What do you mean by thinking too far ahead? Accidents are everywhere, no one knows what the future holds. If Xiao Ji and the others didn’t dislike these things, I would have bought some for them."

They didn’t like them for a simple reason: they weren’t plant-type spirit beasts, they simply didn’t have that interest. Furthermore, they had no place to plant these things. Even Kong Qing was only planning to randomly plant some landscaping plants in its little space. As for these bonsai types of plants, it really didn’t care much about them.

"It seems that way..."

Upon closer reflection, Feng Yuan did indeed prepare quite a few gifts for Xiao Ji and the others, yet it seems like he has never given anything to Ah Mu until now. Scratching his head, Qi Chen stopped hesitating and began to select gifts with Ah Mu in the store.

"You really are... with so much stuff, I don’t think your room can fit it all."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly, as they had bought a lot of things in the department store. Of course, most of the purchases were made by Feng Yuan, who simply stuffed the items into Kong Qing’s little space. They did not initially have a concrete idea of how much Feng Yuan bought, but Kong Qing’s little space included a small villa, and Feng Yuan had filled the living room floor of the villa with stuff. How could they not now realize just how many weird little toys he had bought?

"It’s not just my room, Kong Qing’s villa and the future dorm need them too, especially the dorm at Maomu Academy, where I’ll be living for about four years. How could it be convenient without putting some of my usual stuff?"

Feng Yuan argued with a twitch of his mouth. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan and casually asked,

"Have you already talked to the school?"

"Yeah, they have reserved a detached villa for me, just like the one Hong Zhi is living in. That way, Xiao Ji and the others will also have room to move around, and it won’t be too stuffy. As for yours, I didn’t ask, since the academy assessment hadn’t started at that time."

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and said. Although he didn’t care much, he wasn’t shameless enough to directly inquire whether Qi Chen could also be given a separate villa for dormitory use, especially considering Qi Chen had not yet been fully confirmed for admission to Maomu Academy. Of course, even now there was still a chance for unforeseen circumstances to occur.

"Outstanding students will definitely get private dorms, too bad there isn’t a high school near Maomu Academy, otherwise, I could have reluctantly gone to a nearby high school to take care of my brother..."

Qi Xiaoshuang spoke with a hint of regret, and Qi Chen glared venomously at Qi Xiaoshuang and said,

"I don’t need your care! And besides, don’t think about using me as an excuse not to go home! You don’t think I don’t know what you’re really up to, do you?!"

"Bro, what are you talking about? I just want to take care of you."

Qi Xiaoshuang said with less confidence. Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and then at Qi Xiaoshuang, surprised at how unexpectedly sharp Qi Chen was about Qi Xiaoshuang’s issue. Maybe it’s because they knew each other too well?

"Is something up?"

While arranging the small trinkets, Feng Yuan looked at the door and asked Qi Chen. After glancing at Feng Yuan’s room, Qi Chen said,

"Are you coming to school with me the day after tomorrow?"

"Let’s go. At the very least, we should say goodbye to them. Time flies..."

Recalling how he was picked up from the school by Teacher Mu, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle and looked at Qi Chen strangely and asked,

"Why are you asking me about this? Is there some special circumstance?"

"No, not really. It’s just that it seems like you didn’t participate in the academy assessment, and I’m not sure if you’ll be going back to the school at all."

The graduation certificates were directly entered into personal records, so there wasn’t a ceremony for distributing them. Moreover, strictly speaking, they weren’t considered graduates yet, as those students who were sitting the university entrance exam hadn’t finished, and the exam hadn’t even started yet. Of course, those who passed the academy assessment wouldn’t be taking the entrance exam. It wasn’t prohibited, just pointless.

"I’ll definitely go back for a visit. After this time, I doubt I’ll go back to school often. But has Zhong Liuyan set a date for her party yet?"

Thinking of something, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen. Although he was also in the class group chat, he rarely checked its messages. For him, apart from a few close friends, the others weren’t important. Shaking his head, Qi Chen said,

"Not yet. It seems that everyone’s schedules haven’t been coordinated, mainly because Chen Xin and the others are tied up with a lot. But it should be decided in about two days."

There might still be others who were busy, but it wasn’t something that could be delayed for long, as everyone was getting ready either to travel after submitting their university preferences and receiving acceptances or to prepare for the university entrance exam.

There was no helping it. Not everyone was certain they could pass the academy assessment. Every year, there are always a number of people who, after a few days of rest post-assessment, return to school to prepare for the university entrance exam after failing the academy assessment.

"Oh, that’s how it is. I thought it might have been canceled."

Feng Yuan casually said as he placed a small Xiao Ji toy shaped like an eagle onto the bed. Xiao Ji admired the lamp on the desk, which had decorations shaped like Xiao Ji and the others. The decorations barely differed from those of Big Cat and the others. Xiao Ji’s decorations came in many forms, both Eggshell Chicken and its evolved shape, with different poses scattered around the lamp.
