Feng Mei was still in shock. Every animal she saw the system gave a small report.
âoh my god, this is a miracle! The game system is being useful!â
Feng peered at the huge horse dragon hybrid-like animal being ridden by a white-clothed lady. She excitedly looked at it for stats.
But the notification came out blank. She tried to once again on a huge elephant with rat ears. It was the same result.
âWhy is that so? Is it because the updates are not finished?â
âDid I break it with my compliment? Sigh, I never should have praised this thing...â she leaned over the windowsill watching the road. A small mouse-like creature with cat-like features scurried under their carriage wheel.

âNow what? When I call you shitty you work? Gosh seriously....â
Bi Feng went into deep thoughts. The system seems to find it very easy to give the stats for smaller creatures. But when it came to bigger animals the system just gave her a black notification with no stats.
âI guess the system isnât at its full capacity,â she nodded to herself.
The Duke and the Duchess who was sitting opposite them secretly watched all the children.
âHoney, letâs get Feng and Elle a magic beast. They seem to like looking at it very much. Look, Fengâs eyes are shimmering...â lady Perlin gently pinched her husbandâs arm.
Duke Parlov nodded with a thoughtful look. âYou are right dear. The girls will be staying all alone in the dorms. They need some kind of protection. I reckon a level C beast will suffice. What about the boys?â
Lady Perlin glanced at Ethan beside her. âHey little one, do you need to buy anything before you join the school? Is there anything that you fancy like a book or something?â
Ethaâs green eyes faltered for a second. Shyly he glanced at his lap. âI-I donât want anything..... Just want to go to school,â
âIs it so?â Duke Parlov glanced at his wife, who looked worried at his response. âAs your parents, we would like to buy you a gift; you donât have to be so shy about asking,â
Ethan just cocked a brow with a look of contempt. âYou... I donât want anything,â
âI would like a giant eagle, please. The ones which can fly high,â Aiden added from the other side.
âAiden!â Ethan glared at him.
âWhat? I wanted one. They are pretty convenient to use,â he cheerfully smiled.
Duke subtly chuckled. âWeâll get you one, but you are not allowed to fly until you are ten years old.â
âDeal~â Aiden happily swum his legs humming as well.
Ethan, on the other hand, had a deep frown.
Feng Mei peered at them both. Even though it seems like everything was perfect Ethan still hasnât subconsciously accepted his new family.
He would rarely demand anything. Itâs as if he is scared that if he asked them his wishes for things they would toss him away.
Such deep-rooted worry and fear are very normal for an abandoned child.
She glanced at lady Perlin who silently hugged Ethan to her side and kissed his blond head.
His frown melted away instantly. He just smiled and hugged her back.
âI guess he really doesnât want gifts. All he needs is a warm hug... aww why are they so cute,â
Soon the carriage entered an area that was much more crowded than before. A long line of carriages waited in front of them.
Duke glanced out casually out. âWhat is the holdup about?â
âSir there is some scuffle up ahead. It seems to be between the Frowe familyâs young son and the Ducal familyâs Claudius,â the coachman relayed the information.
Duke Parlov sighed loudly. âThose two again.â
âWonder what the problem is between them. They seem to be involved in a lot of scuffling,â
Feng Meiâs ears perked up. The name Claudius seemed very very familiar.
âIsnât he one of the male leads?! Oh my god,â she urgently moved to the window and peered out. All she could see were coaches lined up and people standing around in a crowd. Subtly he noticed a small patch of red hair standing out in between.
âIs Claudius the redhead?â
âYes dear,â lady Perlin looked at her husband and he too looked her way. âCoachman, please take a new path. We shall not get involved with those families,â
Feng glanced at him. Those words were a subtle warning or prevention of some sort.
âeh probably thinks Iâm a young maiden who falls in love with any tom dick and harry.â She narrowed her eyes slightly.
âThat boy has no disciple,â the Duke said as a matter of fact. But in fact his eyes were focused on his boys, who were both frowning. âItâs better to focus on what we have at hand,â
Feng tilted her head in confusion. âWhat do we have on hand? What are you implying sir?â
Lady Perlin tried her best to smooth it down. âDarling donât joke around. Feng is not at the age to look at boys,â
âI look at boys,â Elle declared with a bright smile.
Both the Duke and Duchess were dumb stuck.
âOh it... it must be because boys are your friends,â lady Perlin chuckled awkwardly.
âNo, I want to marry that guy. Iâm pretty sure he will like me back. But itâs hard to get his attention.â
Feng looked at her eyes wide open. âWho is that?!â
âSecret~â Elle winked her way and giggled.
