251: Chapter 251 White Wolf Deity and the Child_1 251: Chapter 251 White Wolf Deity and the Child_1 “That’s right, we were startled this morning when the White Wolf Deity suddenly appeared, but who would have thought they’d end up playing together.”

Looking out the window, a few little boys swathed in blankets seemed to be playing roles as they frolicked around the White Wolf Deity, Liao Yu said enviously,

“Playing with a Divine Beast, that’s really enviable…

When I was a kid, I really wished a Divine Beast would descend from the sky and become my Beast Tamer.～”

“You could try to become its Divine Pact Maker.”

Ye Hanlei gestured with her chin towards the White Wolf Deity outside the window and said to Liao Yu, who glanced at her and said somewhat dissatisfied,

“Don’t tell me you never had such thoughts when you were little!”

“I did, but I knew it was unrealistic, just a thought.”

“Pff!

Did you or didn’t you have thoughts like that as a kid?”

Seeing Liao Yu turn to him and ask, Feng Yuan yawned, recalled for a moment, and said with a smile,

“No.”

“Impossible!

Such a thing wouldn’t be embarrassing to admit, why lie about it?”

Feng Yuan glanced at Liao Yu and said irritably,

“I’m not lying, I really didn’t think about such things when I was little.

At most, I thought about taking my own…

Spirit Beast to class to show off, or saving the world so I wouldn’t have to go to school or whatever.”

“Huhuhu～ Saving the world so you can skip school?

Who told you that～”

Feng Yuan glanced at Liao Yu and pursed his lips as he said,

“I’m talking about when I was a child, didn’t you ever let your imagination run wild too?”

“But bringing a Spirit Beast to class to show off?

What’s so great about that?

Even though kids can’t contract with Spirit Beasts, parents always have their own Beast Tamers escort us to school, right?”

Propping his head on the dining table, Feng Yuan’s gaze grew distant.

Noticing Feng Yuan seemed a bit down, Liao Yu quickly changed the topic,

“Uh…

where’s lunch?

We can cook it ourselves.”

Sister Liu smiled and said,

“It’s already prepared, it’ll be ready soon.

Can you guys take this to the White Wolf Deity?”

Seeing Sister Liu pour the food from the pot into a beautifully large basin, Feng Yuan opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing.

Liao Yu patted Feng Yuan on the back and said,

“Come on, let’s go see the White Wolf Deity.”

Ye Hanlei carried the food basin at the front, Liao Yu pulled an unwilling Feng Yuan to follow.

As they approached the White Wolf Deity, Ye Hanlei put down the food basin and looked at the White Wolf Deity, not sure how to start.

After glancing at her, the White Wolf Deity exhaled a puff of white air and gently shook its body.

A white light emanated from the White Wolf Deity, and its size began to shrink.

When the light dissipated, the White Wolf Deity had transformed into the figure of a white wolf-man, its right paw wrapped with a chain linked to an ancient Lantern, which it held in its right paw.

The chain lengthened on its own as the White Wolf Deity moved.

Grabbing the food basin with one paw and food with the other, heading towards its mouth, the children cheered and shouted something as they watched the White Wolf Deity sit on the ground eating.

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said to Liao Yu,

“Let’s go back, I’m hungry.”

Surprised by Feng Yuan’s words, both Liao Yu and Ye Hanlei snapped back to reality.

Looking at Feng Yuan’s composure, Liao Yu exclaimed in surprise,

“Did you already know the White Wolf Deity could transform?”

“Gitalien was causing a ruckus this morning in the Data Domain in human form.

What’s so strange about a Divine Beast transforming?”

“Gitalien caused this morning’s incident?”

“Who else?

That guy recreated Ernis’s lair in the Data Domain, probably itching for a fight with Ernis.”

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Liao Yu said with a tinge of speechlessness,

“I thought high-level Divine Beasts like Gitalien were all steady.

Why would he do something so odd?”

“Hey, hey, hey!

Where’s your gaze wandering!

Am I really that unreliable?”

“Don’t forget what you were punished for.”

“Er…”

Seeing Feng Yuan’s sheepish expression, Ye Hanlei smiled and said,

“Let’s go, back to lunch.”

Back in the kitchen, Sister Liu had just finished preparing lunch for the three of us when Ye Hanlei summoned her Spirit Beast and said,

“Release your own Spirit Beasts as well, Sister Liu has prepared lunch for them too.”

Seeing Liao Yu release his Spirit Beast, Feng Yuan took Xiao Ji down from his head and placed him on the table, saying,

“I never put away my Spirit Beast.”

“What about the Dreaming Dragon Baby?

I remember it’s quite gluttonous, right?”

“I didn’t bring it.

Weren’t we at training yesterday?

I didn’t bring Big Cat or the others out.

Anyway, as long as I don’t mention it, the Dreaming Dragon Baby shouldn’t know we’re eating something tasty outside.”

Glancing at Xiao Ji, who was looking forward to the meal, Ye Hanlei said calmly,

“Do you think it won’t tell?”

“Uh…

probably…

won’t…”

“Pack some up and take it back to it later.”

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said somewhat embarrassed,

“That doesn’t seem right, does it?”

“What’s not right about it?

It’s not going to cost an arm and a leg anyway.”

After lunch, Ye Hanlei hurried the pair to get back to work.

When they were leaving, they noticed that the White Wolf Deity had, at some point, returned to its original form.

Xiao Ling was lying on the White Wolf Deity’s head, seemingly helping to clean its ears, while a few young boys appeared to be trying to grab at the swaying tail of the White Wolf Deity.

A few girls were tampering with the flowers in the flowerbed, apparently trying to weave a flower crown for the White Wolf Deity but arguing over which flowers to use.

“Such a carefree childhood…”

Liao Yu sighed, and glancing at Liao Yu, Ye Hanlei said calmly,

“You could go play with them if you want.”

“Pfft, as if there’s any fun in playing with a bunch of kids.”

After a busy afternoon and before returning to the special duties team, Ye Hanlei specifically had Liao Yu drive them to Star Orphanage again.

By then the White Wolf Deity seemed to have left, and the children were playing in their little groups.

Just as they stepped into the courtyard, Xiao Ling and Da Wang popped out from the bushes and looked at Ye Hanlei, saying,

“Big Sister, are you looking for the White Wolf Deity?

It just left~”

Bending down to pat Xiao Ling’s head, Ye Hanlei smiled and said,

“We’re not here to see the White Wolf Deity; we’ve come for some food.”

“Eh?

Has Sister Liu finally decided to start doing takeout?

That’s great~ The headmaster has been worrying over the finances~”

Ye Hanlei chuckled and lightly flicked Xiao Ling’s nose, saying,

“Don’t talk nonsense, she wouldn’t earn money that way.

And even if she did, the money would be hers; you shouldn’t always think about swindling others’ money.”

“I know, but Sister Liu likes us the most.

If she shares even a little bit, it would relieve the headmaster’s pressure, and besides, we are trying to earn money too~”

After chatting with Xiao Ling for a while, Ye Hanlei stood up and said to the two,

“Let’s go, we’ll grab the stuff and head back.

I’ll submit the report, and once it’s clear there are no issues, you can go, Feng Yuan.”

Liao Yu patted Feng Yuan’s shoulder enviously and said,

“You’re the lucky one, not being dragged into overtime late at night.”

Ye Hanlei’s calm voice came from ahead,

“If you don’t want to do it, you can file a report with Captain Chen, and he’ll accommodate you.”

“No way!

I didn’t say anything!

You must be hallucinating!

Yes, you’re hallucinating.

Man, to have auditory hallucinations at such a young age, what will you do in the future~”

Back at the special duties team, after Ye Hanlei finished submitting the report and confirmed there were no issues, she said to Feng Yuan,

“All’s good, you can go now.”

“Remember to take the food with you.”

Seeing that Feng Yuan seemed to have forgotten to take the food, Ye Hanlei reminded him.

Back in the dormitory, Xiao Ji immediately hopped off Feng Yuan’s head and eagerly told the Dreaming Dragon Baby sitting on the table something.

Listening, the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s tears fell as it looked at Feng Yuan with a pitiful gaze.

Holding the bag in his hand, Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly,

“Your food is here, I didn’t forget about you.”

Upon seeing the food, the Dreaming Dragon Baby quickly wiped its tears and rushed to Feng Yuan, who placed the food on the table and said,

“There are three portions here, yours, Najia’s, and Big Cat’s.

Don’t eat them all, okay?”

Nodding, the Dreaming Dragon Baby held onto its portion and floated into the air, warily watching Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji glanced disapprovingly at Feng Yuan and then settled on the table to rest.
