Divine Beast Creator

"What’s the matter?"

"Cough cough! Why are so many students’ Spirit Beasts sick today? It looks like I need to ask Teacher Orlina to come and give your Spirit Beasts a thorough physical exam."

Teacher Chu said with a scoff from the front, and the students who were bent over as if they were concerned about their own Spirit Beasts all stiffened up, slowly sitting up straight. Teacher Chu looked at everyone with a sly grin and said,

"I know you’re all excited about the upcoming holiday, but those whose Spirit Beasts are sick, come with me after class. Let Teacher Orlina give your Spirit Beasts a good check-up. If there’s nothing wrong, you know what you should do."

"Oh no, we’re doomed~"

Feng Yuan, seeing all the students with their heads hanging down, said with a look of relish. Qi Chen glared at Feng Yuan and said,

"It’s all your fault!"

"It’s just 30,000 words~ That’s nothing for you~"

Qi Chen glared at Feng Yuan and, under Teacher Chu’s intimidating gaze, didn’t dare to continue the conversation. Seeing Qi Chen not daring to interact with him, Feng Yuan, somewhat bored, leaned on the desk and teased Xiao Ji.

After class, when Teacher Chu was looking at a list with a paper in hand, Feng Yuan secretly took a small bottle of Potion out of his backpack and stuffed it into Qi Chen’s hand. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with confusion and noticed Feng Yuan gesturing towards Ah Mu. He then whispered,

"There won’t be any side effects, right?"

"No, it’s like a mild potential enhancing Potion, but the thing is... it makes it seem like they’re sick..."

"Doot!"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Ah Mu snatched the Potion from the hesitant Qi Chen’s hand, looked at Feng Yuan, who glanced at Teacher Chu still confirming the list, and whispered,

"Just use it when it’s almost time for the check-up."

"I’ll hold on to it, you’ll get caught if you do."

Seeing Ah Mu’s determined look, Qi Chen bent down and whispered back, and after considering for a moment, Ah Mu, while others weren’t paying attention, stuffed the bottle back into Qi Chen’s hand. Qi Chen glanced at the Potion and warned Feng Yuan,

"You said there are no side effects. If there are any, you know the consequences!"

"Come on~ I wouldn’t get it wrong~"

Teacher Orlina, in the school medic’s office, hearing the increasing noise outside, walked out with some confusion and saw Teacher Chu followed by a large group of students and said,

"What’s going on here?"

"A bunch of students were concerned about their sick Spirit Beasts during class, so I brought them here to check on those Spirit Beasts, just in case it’s some kind of contagious disease."

Watching Teacher Chu speak earnestly without a trace of expression, Orlina immediately understood what was happening and said with a slight chuckle,

"Well then, have them come in one by one, there’s not enough room inside for everyone."

"Also, don’t always have such a stern face~ You have a much prettier smile than I do~"

"What does pretty or not have to do with anything? I’m past the age of pursuing beauty..."

Teacher Chu said, gently patting her cheek, then turned and directed the students to line up and wait their turn for the examination. Watching the students nervously enter one by one, Orlina found it very amusing.

"Hmm... these readings are a bit odd..."

Looking at the data in front of her, Orlina looked at Ah Mu with some confusion. Qi Chen, who was next to her and a bit nervous, asked,

"What’s wrong? Is there something off?"

Orlina glanced at Qi Chen and, seeing the pleading in his eyes, turned to the stern-faced Teacher Chu and said,

"It does seem to be feeling a bit under the weather. But with some rest, it should recover just fine~"

"Here, this is your prescription, make sure it gets plenty of rest~"

As Orlina handed the piece of paper to Qi Chen, she whispered in his ear,

"It was that guy’s handiwork, wasn’t it? Almost fooled me~"

Qi Chen broke into a cold sweat upon hearing Orlina’s words. Carrying Ah Mu, he quickly walked away as Teacher Chu gestured, as if something terrifying was behind him. During the short walk from the medic’s office, he could feel the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of others piercing him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

When Qi Chen returned to the dormitory, Feng Yuan saw him looking like a frightened rabbit and said with some surprise,

"It didn’t work?"

"It worked, I wasn’t punished."

As he said that, Qi Chen went to the table to open the lunch Feng Yuan had brought back for him. Feng Yuan, proud, patted Qi Chen on the shoulder and said,

"How about that~ Pretty awesome, right~"

"Awesome nothing! Teacher Orlina found out, and she guessed it was you straight away."

"Eh?! Teacher Orlina found out? But it seems possible... if it wasn’t her, even if Chudie came over, she wouldn’t have noticed~"

Qi Chen swallowed the food in his mouth, paused for a moment, then turned to Feng Yuan and said,

"What’s there to be proud of? Orlina guessed it was you right away."

"Isn’t that normal? Who else could pull off such a stunt but me? It’s only natural that she’d guess it’s me if she found out."

"You’re that confident?" frёeωebɳovel.com

"It’s a fact~"

Ignoring the self-satisfied Feng Yuan, Qi Chen lowered his head and continued eating. Feng Yuan, seeing that Qi Chen wasn’t paying attention to him, sat on the bed to play with Xiao Ji and the Dreaming Dragon Baby. After a while, he saw Qi Chen finish eating and tidy up. Then, Feng Yuan lifted his head, fiddling with Xiao Ji’s silly hair, and asked,

"You said you wanted to ask me for a favor earlier. What did you want to do?"

"That..."

"It’s hard not to let my mind wander to weird things with the way you’re acting... Come on, spill it. Are you planning something against Dou Yanlan or someone else?"

Looking at the slightly blushing and embarrassed Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly. Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen yelled at him,

"No, not that! Why do you always think of such weird things!"

"With the way you’re acting, what else can I think?"

"That... could you teach me how to make that signature piece of clothing you made before?"

"The women’s version..."

"Yes!"

Feng Yuan, surprised, took out his phone ready to send a message, when Qi Chen sheepishly said,

"Xiao Shuang seems to really like the style of that outfit you made, but sadly, no matter how she tries, she can’t make it look right, so..."

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen with a bit of a strange tone and said,

"You... Do your parents know about you two...?"

"Know what..."

"Where is your mind going! I just want to prepare a holiday gift for Xiao Shuang!"

Looking at Qi Chen’s increasingly ashen face, Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly,

"What am I supposed to think with the way you were acting just now?"

"I just thought it’d be kind of weird for a guy to learn how to make clothes..."

"Are you saying I’m not a guy?!"

"No, no! That’s not what I meant!"

"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Xiao Shuang’s gift, right? Let me see... Hmm, Big Cat, could I borrow your computer and drawing tablet for a bit?"

"Mew?"

Big Cat looked puzzled at Feng Yuan, then quickly wrapped up his game and logged off, allowing Feng Yuan to use the computer. Feng Yuan sat down at the computer, searched for some software, and opened a design program, saying,

"You probably don’t know her measurements, right? If so, a robe style would be better, but then again, that might be a bit too hot..."

"That..."

"Don’t tell me you actually know them..."

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen somewhat speechlessly. Qi Chen scratched his head and said,

"I don’t know, but wouldn’t a robe be easier to make?"

"An overcoat is okay, but multi-layered... Nevermind, I’ll see how I can simplify it."

After much discussion, they decided just before their afternoon classes to go with the style of Feng Yuan’s outfit, making some adjustments to convert it into a women’s version. Watching the two head off, Big Cat sat back at the computer, looked at the design Feng Yuan had left open on the screen, and, tilting his head to examine it, began to draw something on the tablet with Telekinesis.

"Teacher Yan is so much nicer than Teacher Chu~ We’re nearly on vacation, we should be allowed to relax a little~"

"Teacher Chu is probably just worried we won’t keep up with the pace, right? There’s nothing wrong with that..."

Feng Yuan and Qi Chen were chatting as they returned to the dorm. Feng Yuan reached out to pet Big Cat’s head and said,

"Can I use your computer for a bit? I need to finalize those designs."

"Meow~"

"What’s up?"

Seeing Big Cat smugly move aside, Feng Yuan sat down, somewhat puzzled. Upon seeing what was on the computer, Feng Yuan looked at the proud Big Cat in surprise, suddenly understanding why he was feeling so smug.
