Feng Yuan curled his lip and didn't say much as he took Dreaming Dragon Baby aside,
"Aww..."
As Dreaming Dragon Baby yawned and floated up to twirl itself on top of Feng Yuan's head, preparing to sleep, Feng Yuan quickly grabbed it and said,
"Don't be like this, Xiao Ji will see it and start arguing with you again."
"Aww..."
Seeing the challenge in Dreaming Dragon Baby's eyes, Feng Yuan was just about to say something when the officer glanced at the Dreaming Dragon Baby in Feng Yuan's hands and asked,
"How did you come by that Dreaming Dragon Baby?"
"Aww?"
"What's the matter?"
Feng Yuan looked at the officer with some confusion as the Dreaming Dragon Baby took the opportunity to float back to the top of his head, curiously watching the officer. The officer looked at Dreaming Dragon Baby and said,
"Taming such a rare Spirit Beast like the Dreaming Dragon Baby requires registration nearby, isn't your Dreaming Dragon Baby unregistered?"
"You don't suspect that I've illegally captured the Dreaming Dragon Baby, do you? This guy is just staying with me temporarily; I'm not planning to tame it, so registration shouldn't be necessary, right?"
"If it's not registered, who knows whether it was obtained through illegal means!"
"Aww!"
Seeing the officer staring at Feng Yuan, Dreaming Dragon Baby made an attacking gesture to scare the officer. Granny Mianlan walked over and said,
"Enough, he's not that kind of person. I believe that the Dreaming Dragon Baby is just staying temporarily with him."
"But according to the regulations..."
"According to the regulations for registration? But he doesn't intend to make a contract with it, so how will you register it?"
The officer hesitated for a moment but persisted,
"One can know the face, not the heart. Granny, don't be deceived by him. There's no habitat for Dreaming Dragon Babies near Maomu City; the origins of that Dreaming Dragon Baby are highly suspicious!"
"Aww!"
"You can ask the Panlong Tower's guardians, this guy stayed there for quite some time and they should remember it. There should have been guardians who saw me take it out."
Feng Yuan said, crossing his arms in front of his chest with some disdain. Upon hearing Feng Yuan's words, the officer suddenly realized something and after a moment's hesitation, stopped pestering Feng Yuan about it.
"Ji!"
"Aww!"
"Enough, you two."
Hearing Xiao Ji's angry chirps, Feng Yuan helplessly brushed the Dreaming Dragon Baby that had sneaked onto his head down and said with a touch of distress at seeing Xiao Ji's wounds,
"Sigh, how did you get so injured? Chudie really should take it easy. Come here, I'll take you to get those wounds treated."
"Ji~"
"Forget it, telling me to go easy. Just look at my Ah Ling!"
Cen Chudie gestured for Feng Yuan to look at the Windchime Grass Ah Ling in her arms discontentedly. Feng Yuan glanced at the Ah Ling covered in scorch marks with some surprise and asked,
"How did it turn out like this? What were you all doing? Weren't you just sparring?"
"Well, you should ask your little monster about that. Even though it's merely a Native Pet, it managed to beat my Ah Ling to this state. You should know my Ah Ling is at Common Level strength!"
"What's the situation with it, anyway? How did it manage to use quite a few Fire Attribute ultimate moves? Eggshell Chicken is of the Wind Attribute alone, right? And those flames were so strange."
As Feng Yuan picked up Xiao Ji and headed toward the infirmary, he said,
"Can't Xiao Ji's talents be extraordinary? Maybe something special happened when I rescued it. Xiao Ji has no Fire Attribute; it should now be Wind Attribute plus Death Series, so I'm puzzled about how it used Fire Attribute ultimate moves too."
"Hey! Is that really possible? A Native Pet surviving a near-death experience and undergoing a special mutation? Do you still have the data from back then? This might be a big discovery!"
"Ji?"
Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and warned,
"Don't even think about trying to induce near-death experiences in Native Pets to save them! If you get reported for playing around like that, you're finished!"
"How could I? Would I even do such a thing? But, I think Xiao Ji could do with a free check-up at Maomu Academy~"
"Heh, planning to use the opportunity to study Xiao Ji, right? No way!"
"Ji!"
"Then why not give me the data you collected when you saved Xiao Ji?"
"I gave it to Teacher Orlina. If you really want it, go to our school and ask her for it."
Hearing Feng Yuan's words, Cen Chudie hesitated for a moment before complaining discontentedly,
"How could you give the data to Orlina! She's from Oria University! If I had known you'd give the data to her... I would have... hmmph!"
"She's our school's doctor, and besides, she's always so nice to us. I didn't think too much about it at the time."
As Feng Yuan spoke, he used his shoulder to push open the infirmary door and carried Xiao Ji inside. Watching Feng Yuan's rough action, Cen Chudie pouted and complained,
"You'll break the door to the infirmary like that!"
"Sorry."
Feng Yuan carefully placed Xiao Ji on the sickbed and, after comforting Xiao Ji, turned to pick up the medicinal materials and began preparing the potion. Seeing Feng Yuan's movements, Cen Chudie seemed to remember something. She gently laid Ah Ling on the sickbed, smiled at Xiao Ji, and said,
"You're really lucky, you know."
"Ji?"
Cen Chudie gently poked Xiao Ji's belly and whispered,
"Do you know how he first got to know us? He snuck in, holding an egg covered in cracks, and, wielding a sickle, knocked out our cultivated Cotton Orchid Flowers. At that time, we all thought he was a bad guy and we fought with him."
"Ji!"
"He was really impressive, though. He managed to take down a whole group of us by himself. If it weren't for Granny Mianlan intervening..."
"Alright, why bring up such old stories? Xiao Ji, come on, let me apply the medicine for you."
"Ji!"
Seeing Xiao Ji looking curious, Feng Yuan frowned at Cen Chudie and said,
"Why do you have to tell Xiao Ji that kind of stuff? Honestly, Xiao Ji, don't be curious, forget it—forget it."
"Ji!"
"You're not being good, you know—don't be so inquisitive."
While Xiao Ji looked on discontentedly, Feng Yuan carefully applied the potion to the wounds on Xiao Ji. Noticing Cen Chudie mixing a potion, Feng Yuan said with a sly smile,
"That's what you get for sharing my embarrassing stories with Xiao Ji. Now you can prepare the medicine for Ah Ling yourself."
"Hmph! I don't need your help."
"Add some Amis Fruit bits."
"Why add that stuff!"
Though Cen Chudie complained, she still took some fragments of Amis Fruit and added them to the potion bottle – Feng Yuan glanced at Ah Ling's wounds and said,
"All of Xiao Ji's signature moves carry the Power of Death. If you don't use Amis Fruit to neutralize the Power of Death in the wounds, Ah Ling's recovery will be very slow."
"Hmph! As if I wouldn't know such basic knowledge!"
Cen Chudie said defensively, but then turned to Feng Yuan and asked,
"Is there anything else I need to be careful with?"
"I thought you said you knew all the basics?"
"You!"
"That's it, there's nothing else particular to look out for. After all, it's not like you had a fight to the death – the injuries aren't that serious."
"Ji~"
After a while, Feng Yuan left the infirmary with Xiao Ji in his arms and saw Yun You talking to a middle-aged special agent. Curious, he walked over and took a glance, asking,
"Haven't you sorted it out yet?"
"We're currently searching for members of the G Organization! They're really getting out of hand! Daring to poison people!"
"Aren't you going to deal with the source of the poison?"
The middle-aged agent glanced at Feng Yuan and said,
"What's with all the questions? What do you plan to do with that information? Could it be that you're a member of the G Organization!"
"Eh?"
"Well, he couldn't possibly be from the G Organization, but since they have been spotted nearby... Captain Chen, could you please escort him back to the school?"
Captain Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some surprise and asked,
"Are you that certain he's not a problem?"
While saying this, he leaned in and stared into Feng Yuan's eyes,
"And why does he need an escort back? Does he have some involvement with the G Organization?"
"He has unknown Spirit Beast powers, so..."
"Is that so?"
"Ji!"
Captain Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some sympathy. The Xiao Ji in Feng Yuan's arms glared at Captain Chen with dissatisfaction as Yun You looked apologetically at Feng Yuan and said,
"Could you trouble you to take him back?"
"Alright, which school is he from?"
Captain Chen asked casually,
"Maomu Secondary School."
Upon hearing Yun You's answer, Captain Chen's expression changed, and he stared fixedly at Feng Yuan.
