Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1180 - 1181: Special Drink

"I will be guarding the border. If it really dares to cause trouble..."

Agunas said coldly with narrowed eyes. Shen Weiguo was somewhat puzzled as to why Agunas would say this, wasn’t it always following Feng Yuan? However, since Agunas had brought it up himself, and having a Divine Beast guarding the border was indeed a good thing for them, he did not object to the proposal.

"You’re not coming to have fun with me?"

Feng Yuan asked with a puzzled look at Agunas, who replied irritably after glancing at Feng Yuan,

"The Hunters are getting harder and harder to find, instead of continuing to track those guys, it’s better to guard the border, after all, those Spirit Beasts shouldn’t lose their lives over this kind of thing."

Dying in normal combat is one thing, but indiscriminate lethal weapons are something Agunas could never accept. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t deal with Nierlat directly, he would have probably tried to take Nierlat to a place like the Starry Sky for a decisive battle long ago.

"You really... meddle too much."

Veronia said disdainfully with a glance at Agunas. In her view, it wasn’t a big deal to use any kind of method in a war. However, someone like Nierlat who, even when caught, would stubbornly deny everything, adopting a stance of ’say whatever you like, I’ll continue anyway’, was extremely repulsive to her.

A change of method when one fails would suffice, right? Why be so stubborn, especially when that thing clearly doesn’t look like anything good. Perhaps other Divine Beasts didn’t openly say anything, but privately they might very well despise Nierlat. Moreover, Veronia was curious about what the deal was with Nierlat’s Divine Pact Maker, to make him contribute so much on his behalf.

"Are you awake now?"

At this moment, Qi Chen came over and patted Feng Yuan on the shoulder, asking. Smelling it, Feng Yuan looked at the cup in Qi Chen’s hand and said,

"Where did you get this from?"

"Just over there, what? Is there a problem with the beverages provided here?"

Looking at the emerald green drink in his hand, Qi Chen frowned slightly. If it was something poisoned, it should have been discovered by now, right? After all, that beverage was freely available for anyone to take. As for it being targeted at him? That would be overthinking it; he had nothing that would be worth plotting for by others.

"No, it’s just that this smell seems much better than the beverages provided earlier."

Following the direction pointed by Qi Chen, Feng Yuan saw a large glass jar filled with several types of beverages. Below the glass jar, there was a transparent faucet and guests could simply use the cleaned and disinfected glass cups provided next to it to serve themselves the beverages.

"Indeed, the beverages in the entertainment hall are freshly squeezed and blended fruit juices, exclusive to Golden Manor, unlike the common purchased beverages used in other halls."

With a smile, Shen Weiguo explained. As someone frequently invited to various banquets during festivals, he was quite familiar with most of the hotels and manors in Maomu City, naturally aware of the differences in beverages here.

Feng Yuan looked somewhat puzzled at Shen Weiguo and said,

"Why? Why not do the same in halls like the reception hall?"

Shen Weiguo said with a slight smile,

"The entertainment hall is only used for those more expensive exclusive events, what do you think?"

"I see, it’s a matter of cost, huh?"

Looking at the glass jars, Feng Yuan wanted to go over and properly taste those beverages, but would walking away directly be somewhat disrespectful to Shen Weiguo? Noticing Feng Yuan’s hesitation, Shen Weiguo chuckled and said,

"I’m going to rest for a while, I’m old and don’t have as much energy as you young folks."

Seeing Shen Weiguo leaving directly, Feng Yuan quickly took Xiao Ji and the others to the glass jars, hurriedly pouring a cup from each, looking as if he was afraid others would finish them first. However, through the transparent glass jars, it was clear that there was still more than half of the beverages left.

"This guy..."

Covering his face, Qi Chen didn’t know what to say about Feng Yuan, this guy is really... as whimsical as ever.

The guests present naturally noticed Feng Yuan’s behavior, and while it was somewhat impolite, his classmates just took it in stride. They knew too well what Feng Yuan was like. After all, the beverages here were indeed... exceptionally delicious; so Feng Yuan’s behavior wasn’t really surprising.

On the other hand, the young members of the families present were quite surprised by this scene. Naturally, most of them recognized Feng Yuan, especially since the Agunas floating beside him was too distinctive not to notice. However, they were not very clear about the details concerning the blonde woman who had arrived after the guide race.

At that point, someone discretely explained to them the situation. Initially, they couldn’t recognize Veronia, but during the guide race, Veronia intervened personally. The Divine Beast Technique she used, unlike ordinary Spirit Beast Ultimate Skills, shocked many. Had Agunas not revealed it, they would have been bewildered about when a lizard-like Divine Beast had appeared.

As for whether it could be Droplet Bubble? During the guide race, Veronia didn’t let it participate, and essentially everyone was familiar with this Spirit Beast that had only been seen in the territories of The People of the Great Sea, naturally knowing that it couldn’t be a Divine Beast.

However, many of them hadn’t expected that a Divine Beast could transform into a human form, and moreover, even planned to become a Beastmaster? Upon hearing this news, those aspiring to achieve good results in the Beast Tamer competition turned pale.

No way around it; while they believed in self-reliance, they weren’t arrogant enough to think they could contend with a Divine Beast, let alone that this wasn’t the kind of Divine Beast brought by a Divine Pact Maker. The Divine Beasts summoned for assistance by those Divine Pact Makers generally didn’t exert much effort in the Beast Tamer contests – after all, to them, it was akin to children playing house. But if Veronia were to personally participate, going all out as a Divine Beast, they really doubted how many could stand against her.

Facing such an opponent, their chances of placing well or even winning the championship grew significantly tougher, with the likes of Wu Feng and Yang Hongzhi before, and now the Divine Beast Veronia behind, the difficulty was frighteningly high.

The big shots were somewhat displeased with Feng Yuan’s actions, not just him but also the friends of Zhong Liuyan behaved similarly. However, they made an effort to not stand out too much unlike the unconcerned Feng Yuan. They wouldn’t show their displeasure openly, especially knowing that Feng Yuan was not someone to easily offend. There was no need, and they didn’t want to offend Feng Yuan unnecessarily.

Otherwise, who knows if he might secretly send a Divine Beast to sabotage them behind the scenes? Such carefree people were the most troublesome to deal with. Besides, to offend someone just over such a trivial matter? They weren’t foolish enough for that. While they didn’t hope for miracles, it didn’t mean they denied the existence of miracles.

They had seen many instances where offending some yet-to-rise powerful individuals, due to trivial matters, led to severe retribution in the future. Families that had existed for so long knew all too well what should not be done; hence, while they enjoyed some privileges, neither the Alliance nor those newly established nations really had much they could do about them.

As long as no major wrongdoing was committed, they couldn’t just target them arbitrarily, for what if, by chance, they encountered a miraculous rise? As for the Alliance, things were simpler - as long as the not-so-stringent rules were followed.

Noticing that big shots’ dissatisfaction combined with their reluctance to speak up, Feng Yuan could not care less. Let these guys fuss however they liked; it was unlikely they would do anything to him anyway.

"You’re drinking so much beverage..."

Seeing Feng Yuan drinking one cup after another and even mixing multiple beverages with great interest, Qi Chen spoke helplessly, glanced at Feng Yuan, who blinked in confusion, and said,

"What? Is there a problem?"

"Lunch is coming up soon, if you drink so much now, will you still have room to eat?"

"Ah?! Is it almost mealtime already?!"

Feng Yuan was startled and quickly pulled out his phone to check the time, put down the phone, glanced at the several large cups of beverages he mixed, looked conflicted. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen sighed helplessly, picked up one of the cups, and said,

"I’ll help you with some of this."

"Count me in."

Quietly following by Qi Chen’s side, Dou Yanlan reached out and took a cup, seeing that it was mixed by Feng Yuan for himself, she wasn’t worried about tasting any strange flavors. However, since these beverages were not designed for the taste of Spirit Beasts, Feng Yuan had no choice but to refrain from handing them over to Agunas and the others for help.
