Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1150 - 1151: A Strange Feeling

"I thought it would be delivered by mail."

Looking at the envelope, Feng Yuan decided to grab something to eat first; as for whether anything was missing inside? If there were any issues, he would just ask Liao Yu and the others for help, Feng Yuan wasn’t worried at all.

"It doesn’t seem so, the local deliveries are done by the teachers of the academy using their own Beast Tamers to their respective schools. It’s only distant locations that would use mailing."

After giving it some thought, Qi Chen spoke uncertainly. While he didn’t quite understand why they didn’t just uniformly use mail, it appeared that the custom was just as such.

"It seems like too much of a hassle, and there’s no worry about them getting lost."

Agunas flicked its tail, speaking. The Beast Tamers of those academy teachers were all far from weak; it was highly unlikely for them to lose the delivery on the way. Plus, this item wasn’t really that important. Although it was needed for school enrollment, if it really got lost by accident, running some procedures would allow an electronic file backup to be used in its place.

Even Agunas suspected that in the future, this documentation might just be a formality. After all, once accepted, a digital version of the acceptance notice would be sent to their electronic certificate system, and there would be an electronic receipt that needed to be signed by the person to confirm they were aware of the acceptance notice.

"That’s true, especially now that Data City has emerged. I’m afraid in the future this might just turn into a mere formality."

Feng Yuan grinned and poked Little Ice Cream, who seemed to still be sleeping curled up on the bed.

"Wake up, time for breakfast～"

"At this hour, it should be lunch..."

Looking at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen said with resignation. He had made a round trip to the school; even if he had left early in the morning, it certainly must be noon by now.

"Eh? Is it really that late? No wonder I’m so awake～"

Smiling, Feng Yuan scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. He thought it was still early. Agunas, flicking its tail speechlessly, gave Feng Yuan a glance. This guy was really confused from sleeping; one could guess without thinking much that it was definitely not early anymore, not to mention the noon sun outside the window.

"Is this... a Water Park ticket?"

Veronia, looking at the item that landed on the table, was somewhat surprised. Xiao Ji’s feathers bristled as it looked at Feng Yuan in an angry manner. Seeing Xiao Ji look at him like this, Feng Yuan scratched his head in confusion and said,

"Didn’t I tell you? We’re going to the Water Park in a couple of days. We would also take the opportunity to invite Delong Tower."

Xiao Ji angrily chirped at Feng Yuan, and Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"It says you didn’t tell it, and when did you contact Delong Tower?"

"Huh? I didn’t? I thought I asked you to tell it and it agreed, that’s strange."

Seeing Agunas looking at him with a perplexed face, Feng Yuan was surprised. Could he really have remembered wrong? But he was sure he had talked about it, so it was strange. Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"You didn’t say it in your dreams, did you?"

"How could that be?! I can tell dreams from reality for sure, weird..."

After thinking for a long time, Feng Yuan couldn’t figure out the reason. Agunas looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Delong Tower also said you didn’t invite it. Could it be that you remembered wrongly?"

If Agunas got it wrong, that was one thing, but Delong Tower didn’t have that impression either, which meant the problem wasn’t with it. However, logically speaking, Feng Yuan indeed shouldn’t mistake dreams for reality. With this thought, Agunas floated in front of Feng Yuan and extended a claw, gently tapping his forehead as if measuring his temperature.

"What are you doing?"

Feng Yuan silently glanced at Agunas, wondering if the other’s actions suggested that he thought Feng Yuan was delirious with fever. How could that be possible!

"Do you have an illness?"

Agunas asked uncertainly, sizing up Feng Yuan, who appeared very spirited, not at all like someone who was sick. But what on earth was going on?

"No, why would you think that?!"

"Forget it, just tell Delong Tower I’m going to have lunch."

Feng Yuan casually waved his hand as he prepared to go downstairs. However, Xiao Ji blocked his way, adamant that he wouldn’t let him pass without an explanation. There was no helping it; Xiao Ji did not like water. It was unexpected for Feng Yuan to do this—where could Xiao Ji go if not with them? Surely it couldn’t just squat on the shore and watch them play in the water, could it?

"You got yourself into this mess, you get yourself out of it."

Ignoring Feng Yuan’s pleading gaze, Qi Chen decisively turned and walked away. Besides Feng Yuan, there really was no one else who could persuade Xiao Ji, and besides, he had repeatedly asked Feng Yuan if Xiao Ji had agreed. Every time, he was told that Xiao Ji had been consulted and agreed, but who knew that Feng Yuan had never actually mentioned it to Xiao Ji.

"How strange..."

Feng Yuan rubbed the back of his head, feeling somewhat bewildered. When he was consoling Xiao Ji earlier, those words came out subconsciously. However, why did it give him a feeling of déjà vu, as if he had done something similar in the past? But given that he often upset Xiao Ji, perhaps he had spoken similar words to comfort it before?

After a moment of thought, hunger reminded Feng Yuan that now was not the time for musings. It was more important to hurry and get lunch to fill his stomach.

"I’ve already told it, and it said it would come to find you later."

Sitting at the dining table, Agunas informed Feng Yuan, noting that Veronia had looked at the tickets Qi Chen had helped him purchase. There were many tickets, so bringing a few more people or Spirit Beasts wouldn’t make much difference to the entry.

"By the way, Yang Hongzhi seems to be preparing for vacation. Should we invite him to join us?"

Feng Yuan asked, looking towards Qi Chen. In his memory, he seemed to have invited the other before, and that he had agreed, but maybe it had all been a dream...

"Deal with it as you see fit; we don’t mind."

Understanding Feng Yuan’s hesitation, Qi Chen said indifferently. He and Dou Yanlan both knew Yang Hongzhi and their relations with him were not bad. However, Yang Hongzhi might be too busy with the Regional Beast Tamer competition to have time.

Even as the shadow of war loomed closer, the Regional Beast Tamer competition was not affected. Whether this implied Great Xia’s overconfidence, or the attraction of the competition was simply too powerful, Qi Chen did not know. But in his opinion, the two didn’t seem to conflict greatly.

The Regional Beast Tamer competition ultimately depended on strength. Without the right capabilities, one simply couldn’t achieve good results. Moreover, the contest was a means for the Divine Land Region and the Omeilia Region to vie for dominance in the Alliance’s decision-making. Each Regional Beast Tamer competition would determine which region would lead the decisions in the Alliance for the next few years, whether it would be led by Omeilia Region or the Divine Land Region.

The Divine Land Region and the Omeilia Region were simply too unique. If considered as two separate regions, there would be problems with the regional divisions, but if combined, deciding which would handle collective decisions within the Alliance would be troublesome.

After all, the two regions, besides allowing relatively free travel, could also be seen as two independent areas.

"Is Yang Hongzhi really alright to participate in the Regional Beast Tamer competition? Or rather, can the competition be held normally?"

Agunas asked with some doubt. From their perspective, Great Xia looked ready to wage a full-scale war with those enemy nations, which would likely affect the contestant teams and could even result in their absence.

"It will definitely go ahead, as after all, it’s an important competition determining whether it will be ’Divine Land & Omeilia’ or the other way around in the future years. Right now, no other country can assemble a team like Great Xia’s. Moreover, there will be a reorganization of the teams, and they definitely won’t allow the war to affect the Beast Tamer competition."

Feng Yuan explained between mouthfuls; to him, the situation was simple. Apart from Great Xia and those enemy nations, there were many countries not involved in this war, and for them, the Beast Tamer competition was of the utmost importance. After all, once they secured dominance and the resulting resource allocations, it would benefit all nations in the Divine Land Region.

Had there not been an age limit for the Beast Tamer competition, Feng Yuan suspected each event would turn into a battle of Divine Beasts.

"I guess before the Beast Tamer competition starts, if there’s already a war, they’ll probably call a temporary ceasefire. If there hasn’t been a war, they’ll likely postpone it."

Feng Yuan added with a small smile; if they stubbornly ignored the situation and Omeilia Region ended up winning, both Great Xia and the enemy nations would suffer the consequences.
