Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2374 - 2375: Hot Springs Town

Feng Yuan didn’t know that the Carlott incident was giving Liao Yu and the others a headache. At this moment, he was already wearing the newly bought bathrobe like Qi Chen and the others, walking on the spacious cobblestone streets of Hot Springs Town, surrounded by many tourists dressed in bathrobes with smaller Spirit Beasts accompanying them.

"There really are quite a lot of tourists here, but it makes sense. Now that winter is here, hot springs are a pretty good travel choice."

Glancing around, Feng Yuan said, and Qi Chen poked his head out from the unfolded map, took a look at the shops on both sides and said

"We’re on the main street now. This area mainly provides reservation services and handles tourist complaints. If you want to buy food, it seems you need to go to the street on the left."

"Hehe, the aroma is wafting over from that side, how could I not know?"

Sniffing the tempting aroma of food wafting through the air, Feng Yuan excitedly said that the scent was less about being pleasant and more about immensely stimulating Feng Yuan’s appetite.

The right food appearing at the right time and place is true deliciousness, at least for Feng Yuan. Now that they were preparing to soak in the hot springs, Feng Yuan wanted to find some desserts to enjoy while soaking.

"I’m going to check over there, and I’ll come find you later."

Noticing the unusual shop types marked on the map, Qi Chen said, and waving his hand, Feng Yuan casually said

"Alright, if you can’t find me, just call me."

Feng Yuan didn’t even ask where Dou Yanlan was headed; could she possibly follow him?

After the three of them split up, Dou Yanlan looked at Qi Chen somewhat puzzled and asked

"Ah Chen, why?"

"The shops over here seem to have special items."

Qi Chen pointed at the mark on the map and said. Dou Yanlan was taken aback when she saw the mark, her expression peculiar as she said

"Home service?"

"I don’t know, I’m not sure, so I didn’t mention it. Otherwise, if it’s not what we think, it would be bad."

Shaking his head, Qi Chen said. He truly didn’t dare to be certain. If it wasn’t as he imagined, speaking about it beforehand might make the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound unhappy. After all, having expectations dashed is never good.

On the other side, although Feng Yuan didn’t quite understand what Qi Chen wanted to see, he didn’t pay much attention. Even though they came out to play together, he wasn’t going to insist on moving together everywhere.

"Hmm, these snacks can be ordered for delivery, but you need to book the bath first to have it delivered, never mind, let’s see what’s available first."

Even though those snacks offer online ordering and delivery, Feng Yuan didn’t plan to order directly via his phone. Mainly, he was unsure about the taste of these desserts, thinking it’d be better to see them personally.

Also, not all desserts support online ordering and delivery. Some items, like alcoholic drinks and specially restricted foods, require personal purchase and proper safekeeping.

Even though the delivery requires personal pickup, considering some places aren’t convenient for delivery staff access, there might be instances of proxy pickup. If someone exploits this loophole to purchase specially restricted foods, problems would arise.

Thus, these foods are prohibited from delivery and must be personally purchased in-store, ensuring responsibility isn’t shifted to store owners for improper handling afterward.

"Hmm, alcoholic drinks, not interested, Bolankan? This thing... not suitable."

Through the window, Feng Yuan looked at the desserts displayed on the showcase. Upon seeing the small cake made with Bolankan Flower as the main ingredient, Feng Yuan’s expression turned odd. Rather than saying it’s spiritual medicine for Spirit Beasts, it seems now exclusively used by men.

No choice, though it has a slight ability to boost the coagulation speed of the Fire Attribute ultimate move, compared to its effects in boosting virility, it’s utterly insignificant.

"Seems like it’s meant for some odd activities in private hot spring pools."

Veronia glanced at the dessert named Forbidden Little Cake and remarked. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said

"I can’t use this stuff, sigh, why do they put these things prominently in the window display here."

"This height ensures children can’t see it."

With a chuckle, Veronia said. Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan grumbled

"If they really cared, not putting it in the window would be the best choice, right?"

"Not in the window? This stuff isn’t listed in electronic catalogs."

With a quirky smile, Veronia said a sentence, and Feng Yuan decided not to bother. Aside from these special desserts, there were many regular ones for sale. Just as Feng Yuan suspected, although most desserts had no misleading appearances, some of them didn’t match their actual taste.

Feng Yuan couldn’t tell whether it was the store owners’ dark humor or some other reason. Just when his attention was focused on the shops, Qi Chen came running over, looking pleased. Feng Yuan, somewhat puzzled, asked

"What good news did you stumble upon?"

"On Commercial Street, there are tools specially for Spirit Beast water play available for rent and purchase."

Qi Chen ran to Feng Yuan, smiling loudly, and Feng Yuan was taken aback. Soon, he realized what Qi Chen was happy about. Smiling at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said

"That’s not bad, shall we check it out together later?"

Neither Qi Chen nor Dou Yanlan really used such things. The so-called water play tools were specialty items that prevented direct contact between water and a Spirit Beast’s fur, usually forming a thin film.

These items had limited uses, primarily providing Beasts like Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, which disliked getting its fur wet, a relatively comfortable water play experience.

Neither Qi Chen’s Beasts nor Dou Yanlan’s Beasts had any issues with water; though Xing Bo’s fur would get wet, it didn’t cause discomfort.

Of course, these tools were quite pricey, so Feng Yuan never considered getting them before, thinking it unnecessary. Since Fluffy Fire Wolfhound hated water, merely avoiding water contact was enough.

Coming to Hot Springs Town, continuing to have Fluffy Fire Wolfhound avoid water wouldn’t be good, but Feng Yuan didn’t have a solution, as the hot springs here were quite unsuitable for Fluffy Fire Wolfhound.

If Fluffy Fire Wolfhound could tolerate its fur getting wet, it wouldn’t matter, but Feng Yuan felt this was unlikely.

With the tool, Feng Yuan could bring Fluffy Fire Wolfhound into the water, and the film had almost no sensation, affording Fluffy Fire Wolfhound an intriguing experience.

Feng Yuan knew Qi Chen was trying to find these things specifically because of him; only Fluffy Fire Wolfhound and Xiao Ji showed interest. He didn’t say much more about it; gratitude didn’t need to be constantly verbalized, the sincerity of appreciation was clear in their hearts.

Previously, Qi Chen said they’d handle these service expenses, so Feng Yuan hadn’t ordered anything yet. With Qi Chen and the others coming over, they gradually discussed the itinerary.

Visiting the hot spring pool was a given. With Fluffy Fire Wolfhound excited at knowing a tool could let its fur stay dry in water, Xiao Ji hesitated to use such a tool.

Or rather, Xiao Ji wanted to test whether it could overcome that psychological issue. Unlike Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, Xiao Ji essentially wasn’t afraid of water; the dislike stemmed merely from a psychological block.

Watching Xiao Ji persist, Feng Yuan didn’t object; bringing extra tools as backup, if Xiao Ji struggled, then using them would be fine.

Though Hot Springs Town had many tourists, and several unique pools were fully booked, Feng Yuan, using his special credentials, bypassed those full reservations to easily book a spot.

"Didn’t expect your credentials could work here."

After booking, Qi Chen, surprised, scrutinized Feng Yuan, saying. Special credentials had certain privileges, but weren’t universally accepted, especially if it disrupted public order.

Most commercial zones typically didn’t recognize such credentials since, like Feng Yuan booking those full pools, it used slots pre-reserved by the establishment.

Normally, these pools were only reserved for credential holders, and who could say just how often they would show up?

After all, the issuance of special credentials was limited; leaving slots empty for nearly improbable visits wasn’t something many businesses would do.

"Hmm, Hot Springs Town seems to be managed by the Baiman City officials, so using them here isn’t surprising."

Shrugging, Feng Yuan nonchalantly replied.
