37 -37 The Use of Dreaming Dragon Baby_1
“Students are not allowed to cook with fire in the dorms!
And you’re still saying you didn’t break any school rules!”
“I didn’t cook with fire in the dorm, and the school didn’t say anything about not being allowed to cook with fire in the woods.”
Seeing Feng Yuan’s stubbornness, Qi Chen shook his head helplessly and said,
“You’ll find out if it’s against the rules when you get caught.”
“There is no such rule!
I’ve checked the school regulations three times to confirm this, scrutinizing every single one!”
“Can’t you put your effort into something more productive?
You study the school rules so carefully just to cook in the school woods, yet you’re never that serious in class.”
Feng Yuan, setting up a simple stove with disdain, said,
“Those class materials are too simple; they don’t need much study.”
“It’s too bad I didn’t get a chance with Professor Yan; I really wanted to thank him.”
“If you actually got Professor Yan to come, would you believe he’d drag you off to the administration office right on the spot?”
Qi Chen was startled by Feng Yuan’s audacious idea.
Feng Yuan took out ingredients and placed them aside, then said to the curious Dreaming Dragon Baby,
“It’s all up to you now.”
“Ao?”
“Use your fire-breathing trick, but be careful not to make the fire too big or the food will be burnt in no time.”
After a while, realizing it was always the Dreaming Dragon Baby spitting fire at the pot, Qi Chen spoke up in dissatisfaction,
“Are you just going to bully it like that?
Where’s Xiao Ji?
Can’t you let Xiao Ji help?”
“Xiao Ji’s fire contains the Power of Death; it’s simply not suitable for cooking.”
“Ji?”
“The fire’s too strong, tone it down a bit.”
Qi Chen looked on helplessly as Feng Yuan directed the Dreaming Dragon Baby to breathe fire, and after a long time, Feng Yuan plated all the food, setting some in front of the Dreaming Dragon Baby and its companions, saying,
“This is for you~”
“Eh?
Is that Spirit Beast Food?”
“Why else would I go through the trouble of cooking in the woods?
Do you think I have nothing better to do?”
“Ah Mu, go ahead and eat, it’s fine.”
Seeing Ah Mu looking at him, Qi Chen spoke quietly, took the bowl and chopsticks passed by Feng Yuan, and said reluctantly,
“I think you really are too idle; it’s just Spirit Beast Food, is it worth the risk of breaking school rules?”
“I told you, I’m not breaking any rules, and don’t you think it’s pitiful they can only eat Spirit Beast Food?”
“Alright, you win.”
Seeing the three Spirit Beasts enjoying their meal, Qi Chen didn’t feel like arguing with Feng Yuan anymore.
After eating, he helped Feng Yuan clean up, and Feng Yuan pointed to the trash that couldn’t be taken away and said,
“Xiao Ji, Spark.”
“Ji?”
Although Xiao Ji was confused, it still used Spark on the trash.
Thanks to recent training, Xiao Ji’s Sparks weren’t scattering anymore but could mostly control where they landed.
The blue flames touched the trash, igniting fierce flames, and soon the trash was reduced to ashes.
“The fire is cold?”
Feeling something was off, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with confusion.
Feng Yuan nodded and said,
“Fire mixed with large amounts of the Power of Death is like that.
If it touches you, you’d feel a burning sensation because of the fire’s special effect on living creatures.”
“Ji?”
“Alright, let’s go back~”
Feng Yuan placed Xiao Ji on his head, motioned for the Dreaming Dragon Baby to follow, and then turned to leave.
No sooner than they’d returned to the dorm, Feng Yuan noticed Professor Yan with two uniformed individuals waiting inside.
Feng Yuan quietly set his backpack down by the wall with some confusion and said,
“Where have you been?
The area around Maomu City has been chaotic lately; you shouldn’t always run off to the outskirts!”
“That…
was just for dinner…”
Professor Yan checked his watch, and feeling it was a plausible explanation, spoke to both Qi Chen and Feng Yuan,
“These individuals are from the city investigating the sudden appearance of Lorraine Tower at noon today.”
A woman wearing the uniform of the Great Xia Special Investigation Bureau, with a stenographer’s notepad and a serious expression, asked Feng Yuan,
“Hello, we would like to know exactly what Lorraine Tower did when it appeared in front of your dorm window this afternoon?”
After pondering for a while, Feng Yuan took Xiao Ji from his head, put it down on the ground, and said,
“I didn’t do much, just took Nagna away,”
the woman said, staring into Feng Yuan’s eyes.
“Based on the descriptions of others and the video footage, we have reason to suspect it communicated with someone in your dorm.
According to surveillance, you were the only one in the dorm at that time.
Don’t you think you should explain?”
Feng Yuan, ignoring her gaze, walked to his bed, gestured with his hand for the man standing there to move, sat down on his bed, and looked at the woman as he said,
“Explain what?
How could I possibly know what Lorraine Tower and Nagna talked about?
I’m not a Spirit Beast.
I can’t understand their language.”
The woman stared hard into Feng Yuan’s eyes and, seeing he didn’t seem to be lying, changed her line of questioning,
“Then what about Nagna?
Are you truly not its Divine Pact Maker?”
“I am not; I have no intention of becoming a Divine Pact Maker!”
“Then can you describe the interactions between Lorraine Tower and Nagna after it appeared?”
Seeing Feng Yuan’s impatient look, the woman shifted the topic and, after Feng Yuan briefly shared a fabricated account, she closed her notebook, took a deep breath, and smiled at Feng Yuan,
“Could I trouble you for a favor?”
“No!”
“Ling Xuan, you don’t need to talk so much with him.
That kid isn’t being honest; he’s lied about a lot of things!”
The middle-aged man next to them said with dissatisfaction as he glared at Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan shook his head at the man’s commanding presence and said,
“I haven’t lied—what I’ve said”
“Whether you’ve lied or hidden something, you know that yourself!
There’s no need to argue with us!”
“But Boss Yang, if he could become or help someone else become”
“Our Great Xia isn’t so desperate that we need to beg for the pity of Divine Beasts!”
Boss Yang rebuked the woman and left the room, somewhat angrily.
The woman called Ling Xuan quickly got up and followed him.
Teacher Yan looked at the doorway, somewhat helplessly, and said,
“Why would you lie?
That will only cause you trouble.”
“I don’t want to explain some things,”
“You…
never mind.”
Seeing Feng Yuan’s stubborn look, Teacher Yan sighed and turned to leave.
Qi Chen came in from the doorway, taking Ah Mu out of his backpack and placing it on the bed as he said,
“Why bother?
If you don’t want to explain, just don’t say anything.
Doing this…”
“They just want an explanation, whether it’s true or not.
Does it matter?
In the end, they won’t believe it anyway.”
“Is it that bad?”
Seeing Qi Chen’s naive manner, Feng Yuan lay down on his bed, his right hand to his forehead, with the look of someone who had seen through it all, and said,
“Do you think the people from the Special Investigation Bureau would easily believe what a person says?”
“They’re from the Special Investigation Bureau?”
“You can tell by their uniforms.
They’re similar to the Special Services Bureau, but there are subtle differences.”
“I can’t tell.”
Qi Chen looked doubtfully at Feng Yuan lying on the bed.
Xiao Ji hopped onto the bed next to Feng Yuan and faced him,
“Ji?”
“Right, what’s this about begging for the pity of Divine Beasts?
Do you know?”
Feng Yuan sat up, holding Xiao Ji and stroking its soft fur as he said,
“It’s probably referring to the regional conflict at the end of next year.”
“What’s with the regional conflict?”
“The Omeilia Region now has four Divine Pact Makers.
People in the Divine Land Region must be panicking.
After all, it’s known so far that only Wu Feng from Great Xia has become the Vermilion Bird’s Divine Pact Maker.”
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen, hardly believing it, quickly took out his phone and searched for something, then said with astonishment,
“No way!
How did it suddenly turn out like this?”
“After all, the Divine Beasts that mostly hold a certain power in the Great Xia region won’t easily sign a divine beast pact with humans.”
“Then why did the Omeilia Region suddenly have four powerful Divine Beasts sign pacts with humans?”
“They must have found some way to manipulate Divine Beasts, right?”
Hearing Qi Chen’s malicious conjecture, Feng Yuan played with Xiao Ji’s tuft of hair and said,
“They probably haven’t.
After all, if they did, wouldn’t that assume that beings like Lorraine Tower are just vegetarians?”
“But Greta also signed a pact with a human, right?”
