256: Chapter 256 An Dun_1 256: Chapter 256 An Dun_1 “You shouldn’t have done that just now.”

After the bell rang for the end of class, Qi Chen walked over to Feng Yuan and said, glancing at him, Feng Yuan calmly replied

“I think it’s too much trouble to build good relationships with them, so I might as well just let it be.”

“You…

even if you don’t like them, you don’t have to make enemies…

after all, you’re schoolmates, don’t you feel lonely acting like this…”

Watching Ah Mu, Feng Yuan seemed a bit lost in thought and muttered to himself

“Because I’m tired, no matter how good you are to others, there will always be those who have ill intentions towards you.

The ones who really get along well with you are just a few, so…

let it be, after all, I have the strength to not rely on anyone else.”

Qi Chen was silent for a moment, then smiled and patted Feng Yuan on the back, saying

“Who did you hear that from, some old man?”

Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan chuckled and shook his head.

Seeing that Feng Yuan didn’t want to talk more about it, Qi Chen changed the subject,

“How’s Ah Mu doing with his studies?”

“Not very good.”

Watching Ah Mu grow larger again, Feng Yuan rubbed his temples, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan,

“Tell me how to teach him, I can’t always rely on you to look after Ah Mu.”

“Sure.”

After listening to Feng Yuan’s explanation, Qi Chen sighed,

“That’s tough, no wonder Ah Mu can’t master it right away.”

Feng Yuan said with some amusement,

“Do you think it’s like playing a game, where you just click on a skill book and learn it?

Except for their innate ultimate moves, every Spirit Beast has to learn new ultimate moves slowly.

Aren’t Hong Zhi’s two Spirit Beasts still unable to transform their bodies even now?”

“Looks like Ah Mu can only rest in the beast pen for now…”

“He should still be able to be brought back to the dorm, right?

His height isn’t particularly tall yet.”

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen sighed,

“But there’s not enough space in the dorm for Ah Mu to rest.”

“Hm?

What’s up with you, Xiao Ji?”

Noticing Xiao Ji rubbing against his leg again, Feng Yuan was puzzlingly stroking Xiao Ji’s head.

Xiao Ji pointed at his belly with his little wings, looking somewhat displeased at Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan quickly took out his phone to check the time, then hurriedly picked up Xiao Ji and said to Qi Chen,

“I’m leaving first, it’s already past seven, don’t you want to grab something to eat too?”

“No thanks, I’ll go handle the beast pen entry procedures for Ah Mu first; you can just bring me back some dinner.”

“Alright, but come back early, without Ah Mu’s help, I reckon you won’t be able to climb up to the balcony.”

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with a face full of black lines,

“Why would I need to climb the balcony?”

“You plan to spend the night outside?”

“No, what are you thinking about?

I’m just handling the beast pen entry procedures for Ah Mu, why would that mean spending the night outside?”

“Forget it, I won’t argue with you.

Ah Mu, sorry you have to put up with this for a while.”

Seeing Qi Chen’s apologetic expression, Ah Mu shook his head and gently touched Qi Chen.

Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan left the battlefield and on the way, he glanced at Xiao Ji and said,

“Do you want to learn to transform too?”

Xiao Ji looked up at Feng Yuan with some confusion.

After a moment’s thought, Feng Yuan said,

“Although you still need a few months to reach the threshold of evolution, I’m not sure if you’ll be able to learn to transform right away.

If you can’t…”

“Don’t look so reluctant.

Although I’m not sure what you’ll evolve into, I guess it won’t be too small.

You might not be able to stay in the dorm, and without being able to transform, I probably won’t be able to hold you then.”

After listening to Feng Yuan’s explanation, Xiao Ji fell silent for a while then nodded to Feng Yuan.

Touching Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

“Alright, I’ll teach you tomorrow.

Try to see if you can master it, but don’t force it, after all, even with the Divine Beast boost, you’re still quite far from Elite Level strength.”

Seeing Xiao Ji’s somewhat indignant look, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

“You’ll understand this weekend during the competition.

I’ll try to match you against those Elite Level Spirit Beasts.

Without using Incarnation of Power, you might not be able to win, you know～”

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji was first delighted then seemed to remember something and hesitated.

At that moment, Feng Yuan’s attention was elsewhere and he didn’t notice Xiao Ji’s hesitation.

Back at the dorm, Feng Yuan placed the packed dinner on the table and noted that Qi Chen’s bed was still empty.

He glanced at Ah Mu’s small house and smiled,

“It didn’t even last over a year – no wonder the teachers all told us we only needed to rent from the school.”

Seeing Xiao Ji’s puzzled expression, Feng Yuan stroked Xiao Ji and explained,

“Although your small houses have internal space expansion, for Ah Mu’s current size, he probably can’t fit in anymore.”

Thinking about his own little hut, Xiao Ji nodded his head.

At that moment, a strange voice rang out beside Feng Yuan’s ear.

“Those huts are for rent?”

Feng Yuan looked around puzzled and said,

“Great Cat God, are you peeping again?”

“It’s not Drudgeon.”

Seeing Agunas float over to him, Feng Yuan gently pressed Agunas’s long beak and said,

“Are you the one talking?”

“Who else?”

“Eh heh, you learnt to speak so quickly?”

“I think you should be aware of how fast I learn.”

“Can’t you pretend to be surprised for a bit?”

Xiao Ji’s eyes sparkled, and looking at Agunas with a pleasing expression, Feng Yuan touched Xiao Ji and said somewhat speechlessly,

“Isn’t it a bit too early for you to want to learn to talk now?

But since you can talk, your strength must have already recovered to Divine Beast level, right?”

Shaking his head, Agunas’s voice came through,

“Not yet, just about to recover to Divine Beast level.

It’ll probably take another month or so.”

“That’s not bad, though.

But that means you’ll be busy with them, won’t you?”

“Not for the time being, I need to accumulate strength for that preparation.”

“That’s the reason for my existence.”

Glancing at Agunas, Feng Yuan sighed and said,

“That sense of mission of yours is too strong, isn’t it?

But I guess that makes sense.

If all gods were like me, I’d be feeling a bit anxious.”

Agunas didn’t respond after glancing at Feng Yuan.

Suddenly, Xiao Ji started calling out to Agunas.

Feng Yuan looked at Agunas with some confusion, and after listening to Xiao Ji’s explanation, Agunas fell silent for a moment before looking at Feng Yuan and saying,

“It wants to ask you, what if you lose the competition without using the Incarnation of Power?”

Looking at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan laughed and said,

“If we lose, then we lose.

I don’t care about winning or losing.

As for Qi Chen and the others, they just need to demonstrate their own strength in the competition.”

“Do you need my help?”

“No need…

But have you fallen so quickly?”

“Fallen?”

Seeing the puzzled look on Agunas’s face, Feng Yuan sat on the bed and said to Agunas,

“Yeah, don’t forget you are a Divine Beast, and you have no pact with me.

It would be extremely unfair to the other competitors if you took action.”

“Why?

Isn’t the Fire Vermilion Bird participating in the competition?”

“Er…

It’s following a Divine Pact Maker into the competition; it’s different for you.”

“What’s the difference?

Both lend their power and protect each other—the only difference is a pact.”

Massaging his temples, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly,

“I can’t argue with you.

Go debate with Elder Li and the rest.

In any case, I don’t mind if they allow it.”

“Strange insistence.”

“Can’t mess with a big shot who’s read a ton of historical documents…”

Feng Yuan lay on the bed, speechless.

Just then, Qi Chen came back and, after hearing Feng Yuan’s monologue, said with some confusion,

“What’s this about a big shot who has read a bunch of historical documents?”

Feng Yuan pointed at Agunas and said,

“Him.

Anyway, I can’t argue with him.”

“Can’t argue with him?

What did you do?”

Qi Chen looked at Agunas with utter confusion.

Glancing at Qi Chen, Agunas repeated the earlier question.

Qi Chen, with a full head of black lines, argued with Agunas but eventually gave up and said,

“Indeed, can’t mess with him…

Yes, what you’re saying is right, but it doesn’t matter if just we think so; everyone else has to agree as well.”

Agunas flipped through a book in his hand and said,

“That’s too troublesome.”
