264: Chapter 264 Divine Beasts Appear_1 264: Chapter 264 Divine Beasts Appear_1 “You’re cheating, aren’t you…”

“What cheating?

Shall I be blamed if the White Wolf Deity comes out for a stroll on its own at night?”

As the imposing White Wolf Deity appeared ahead, Feng Yuan declared with pride.

Meanwhile, inside the competition command center, the judges on night duty were thrown into chaos upon witnessing the sudden emergence of the White Wolf Deity.

“Hurry, someone inform Elder Li!”

“Why has the White Wolf Deity suddenly appeared here?

Damn it, is the competition still going to continue?”

“I don’t know, damn it!

The White Wolf Deity is getting aggressive!”

Observing in the monitor how the White Wolf Deity howled and a blizzard started to swiftly spread around it, the judges profanely expressed their frustrations.

It wasn’t long before Elder Li rushed to the scene, and squinting his eyes upon seeing the White Wolf Deity in hot pursuit of a group of people, he inquired,

“What’s happening here?

Why has the White Wolf Deity stormed into the competition field to attack the contestants?”

“We don’t know, the White Wolf Deity has only just appeared.”

“What’s going on with that group of people?

Why have they gathered together?”

“They’ve just been using fatigue tactics against Feng Yuan and the rest, trying to use their numbers to eliminate them.”

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s name, a sense of certainty crossed Elder Li’s heart.

He reviewed the footage and noticed that Feng Yuan indeed looked upset before the White Wolf Deity appeared.

He sighed and said,

“Make sure the White Wolf Deity doesn’t harm anyone, otherwise, there’s no need to intervene.”

“But now a Divine Beast has charged into the field.”

“Either we halt the competition, or we let the White Wolf Deity clear out those smart alecks.”

“Elder Li, can’t you talk to the White Wolf Deity and ask it not to disrupt the competition?”

Glancing at the person who spoke, Elder Li replied with some resignation,

“Even if I do persuade the White Wolf Deity and it listens to me, then we’ll probably see Lorraine Tower or Gitalien coming next, maybe even Drudgeon or Agunas.

I don’t want a flock of Divine Beasts popping up during a competition.

Let’s just leave it at that, as long as no one gets hurt.”

Elder Li watched the screen intently, his expression growing tense.

Seeing Feng Yuan watching with interest as the White Wolf Deity chased after the group, Qi Chen remarked with some speechlessness,

“Are you serious?

You summoned the White Wolf Deity over such a trifling matter?”

“Hmph, it was they who resorted to underhanded tactics first.”

“Aren’t you afraid Elder Li and the rest will intervene?”

“It seems that Lorraine Tower and the rest are also interested in taking a stroll late at night to tease the cat a bit.”

“And surely Delong Tower must be curious about the landscapes within the continent too—”

“Enough already!

It’s best not to summon Delong Tower; if it really appears, the competition will definitely be suspended.”

Feng Yuan scoffed dismissively,

“You’re really not very hospitable.”

“This has nothing to do with hospitality.

If Delong Tower suddenly appears, it would shake the whole Alliance.

After all, Delong Tower has once destroyed a continent.

Its threat is not something Lorraine Tower and the others can compare with.”

“Are you talking about Odinis?

That was permitted by the Guardians, okay?

Otherwise, Delong Tower wouldn’t have been able to destroy a continent despite Lorraine Tower and the others blocking.”

“But since the White Wolf Deity is already out for a walk, we don’t need to be on such high alert.

How about a game of cards—”

As Feng Yuan pulled out a deck of cards, Qi Chen responded with some speechlessness,

“Forget it, who knows if you’re going to cheat again when playing cards.”

“I’ll play.”

“Eh?

Lorraine Tower, are you guys out for a walk as well?”

The man with black hair glanced at Feng Yuan and said calmly,

“The White Wolf Deity suddenly used time travel; I thought something significant had happened.”

“Won’t you join in?

Since it’s so late, you’re not going to do anything anyway.”

The white-haired middle-aged man, assuming a familiar demeanor, wrapped his arm around Qi Chen’s neck and said.

Qi Chen tried to break free from the white-haired man’s grip without success.

Back at the command center, seeing the two middle-aged men joking around with Feng Yuan and his group, Elder Li rubbed his temple and said,

“Let everyone keep an eye on that area, so as to prevent any issues from arising.

No need for the night raids there.”

“Eh?

But isn’t that unfair?

Besides, the White Wolf Deity has chased those people off into the distance.

Even if it returns, we could split into multiple teams to draw it away.”

Looking at the two middle-aged men and Feng Yuan along with Qi Chen who were seated on the chairs that had just grown from the plants, gathered around a plant table playing cards, Elder Li said helplessly,

“Even if you can lure away the White Wolf Deity, Lorraine Tower and Gitalien are also there; a night raid would have no effect on them.”

“Lorraine Tower and Gitalien?

Where are they?”

Pointing to the two middle-aged men, Elder Li replied with calm,

“Human form.”

“No way!

Spirit Beasts can turn into humans too?”

“It’s probably a privilege of Divine Beasts, but hardly any Divine Beast does that.”

“So, we can’t really send Spirit Beasts to bother them, with three superior Divine Beasts there, any number of Spirit Beasts would be useless…”

“You guys!

We clearly agreed on taking turns!”

“Shush, lower your voice.”

Watching the fuming Zhong Liuyan, Feng Yuan smiled and pointed to Qi Chen and Pei Yu, who were sleeping on the vine bed to one side.

Duomeng slightly opened his eyes, yawned after seeing it was Zhong Liuyan, and reentered dreamland.

Ah Mu quietly stood beside Qi Chen with his eyes closed, conserving energy.

Zhong Liuyan lowered her voice and walked over to Feng Yuan, saying

“What’s wrong with you!”

“It’s your turn now.”

“Alright~”

Seeing Feng Yuan playing cards with two unfamiliar middle-aged men, Xiao Ji quietly slept beside Feng Yuan’s leg.

Zhong Liuyan stared at those two ‘people’ and said

“Who are they?”

“Lorraine Tower and Gitalien.

Want to play cards?

We’re almost done with this round.”

With her hand over her mouth, Zhong Liuyan looked at the two middle-aged men in surprise, and Dou Yanlan whispered from behind Feng Yuan,

“Human form?”

“Yeah, since Lorraine Tower often has to return to the past, it can’t just leave traces everywhere, right?”

“Hehe~ I won~”

While speaking, Feng Yuan laid down his cards.

Looking at the unfamiliar deck, Zhong Liuyan said with some confusion,

“What are these?”

“Star Sea Cards, something that fleet members use to kill time; they feel quite nice~”

“A fantasy world?

It looks pretty.”

Zhong Liuyan picked up a card, which featured a brilliant nebula on the front and the name TE-17 Nebula at the top, while underneath was a description that Zhong Liuyan couldn’t understand.

She put the card back on the table and shook her head, saying,

“It’s too complicated; I can’t play.

Aren’t you going to rest?”

Glancing at the White Wolf Deity, who was running around playing a game of cat and mouse with a group of people, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

“Nope, they came here to unwind, how could I go rest by myself.”

Following Feng Yuan’s gaze, both understood what was happening, and Dou Yanlan spoke with some distaste,

“Boring!”

“So you want other people to be as miserable as you are…

Really…”

Seeing that the White Wolf Deity was merely circling around, Zhong Liuyan knew that those people were definitely not specifically driven here by it.

Pulling Dou Yanlan aside, they whispered together.

Feng Yuan glanced at them, then looked up at the gradually brightening sky and shook his head, continuing to play cards with Lorraine Tower and the others.

“Jerk!

You tricked me again!”

After waking up, Qi Chen angrily looked at Feng Yuan, who, with a calm expression and a shrug, said,

“If you don’t rest when you’re supposed to, I’ll just assume you’re suffering from insomnia.

I happen to be quite skilled at treating insomnia~”

“So you didn’t sleep at all last night, did you!”

Seeing Feng Yuan’s slightly weary look, Qi Chen realized what had happened.

After Feng Yuan had Xiao Ji transform into a Sky Blue Great Bird, he said,

“I’ll just rest on Xiao Ji’s back later, right?”

“But wouldn’t Xiao Ji have to keep flying in the air?

And aren’t you afraid of falling off?”

“I can’t just rest on the White Wolf Deity’s back, can I?

That would be cheating way too much~”

“Your expression clearly says you really want to do that.”

“Can’t I at least think about it?

It’s not like I’ll actually do it.”

Just then, the White Wolf Deity let out a long howl and disappeared in a burst of white flames.

Watching the White Wolf Deity leave, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

“After eating, we need to get ready to head to the ruins~”

Only then did Qi Chen notice the prepared breakfast next to him.

He looked at Feng Yuan and asked,

“Did you cook this?”

“They did it together, I wouldn’t bother making so much by myself.”
