Almost instantly, Dumbledore understood what had happened. Ye Feng must have noticed something was wrong beforehand or reacted, but he didn't warn them. But that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that after protecting himself with magic, he also protected the campfire but not the others!

Dumbledore was furious when he realized this, but he couldn't vent his anger because Ye Feng and the others were also lying on the ground. In addition, they had no obligation to protect others, which meant that he couldn't find a reason to scold Ye Feng.

"Ugh, I'm so angry!!! (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻"

Although he was furious inside, Dumbledore couldn't show it, because the situation on the field was very tense. If they weren't careful, their 'star' who had appeared on the Chocolate Frog card in the Black Lake of Hogwarts would perish.

This wasn't Dumbledore exaggerating, because at this moment, the teachers and students who had been knocked to the ground were all staring intently at this behemoth, wands in one hand and talismans in the other. If someone made a mistake and launched an attack, then what awaited this giant squid would definitely be a barrage of attacks.

Although the giant squid was huge, it couldn't withstand the full-force attack of the entire Hogwarts school. After all, the magic level of the entire school had improved by at least one level because of Ye Feng and his group, and everyone had a lot of talismans, so their combat power was probably doubled.

If such force were to strike this giant squid instantly, it would be a miracle if it could even salvage some scraps from the Black Lake afterward, given its formidable defense.

However, before Dumbledore could make a move, a figure rushed out at an even faster speed.

"Get out of the way! Don't fight! Let me handle this!!!"

Dumbledore: (キ`?Д??)!!

"Stop it! Don't hurt him..."

"Hey~"

"Oh ho~ Albus, you seem to be speaking too slowly."

Dumbledore: ...

Chapter 167 It smells so good

Dumbledore: (キ`?Д??)!!

"Ye Feng, why didn't you wait before acting so impulsively! Can't you be a little more composed?"

A few minutes later…

Dumbledore: (o?▽?)o

"Mom, this grilled squid smells so good..."

Ye Feng: (~ ̄▽ ̄)~

"Right, right? I told you it's more satisfying to eat big chunks."

"Come on, try this piece. I added chili powder to this one, making it even more flavorful with its numbing spiciness and fresh aroma."

Dumbledore: (???)

"You're so understanding! I won't hold it against you for not shielding us from the water earlier."

Ye Feng: (???)

Giant squid: o(╥﹏╥)o

Ye Feng: ( ̄▽ ̄)~*Damn~

A giant squid with a missing leg: (???)

The giant squid, which was just heartbroken and crying its eyes out (yes, yes, whatever you say I am, that's what I am (?▽?*) ), stopped being sad at all after catching the bottle that Ye Feng threw to it with its tentacles. It even stretched one of its tentacles out of the water and kept waving it around, as if to say, "I have another one here, do you want it?"

There was no other way; although Ye Feng had severed one of its arms, he compensated it with a whole bottle of pills!

Although it didn't know what it was, it knew it was definitely something good. After swallowing the bottle of pills whole, the giant octopus said, "I still have several legs. Can I cut them off and exchange them for more pills? Even just one leg for half a bottle?"

Octopus tentacles are amazing things; even if they break off, they can grow back in no time. After consuming that bottle of pills, it discovered that at most one-tenth of the pills was enough to make its tentacles grow back, and even make them thicker and more delicious.

Although it might seem like it has gained a few million more attributes, the giant squid says it doesn't matter. Compared to those pills, what is the pain of cutting off its wrist? As long as Ye Feng gives it pills, it won't care even if he cuts off one of its wrists every day.

Unfortunately, these little people seemed to eat too little. So many of them couldn't finish one of its tentacles in one go, which made the giant squid feel a little regretful, otherwise it could have obtained a lot of pills in one go.

...

Although there was a slight mishap tonight, it was still a very pleasant and fulfilling evening overall. After all, they had already eaten most of the good stuff, and there was still delicious grilled squid to come. The big squid even brought them a lot of aquatic 'specialties', so they ate very happily.

However, there is a saying that is very old and corny, but it is absolutely true: good times are always short-lived, and the night will eventually pass. As the campfire in the middle of the field slowly weakened and went out, almost all the people in the field dispersed, leaving only Ye Feng and a few others looking at the vast starry sky above their heads, which is visible almost every day.

"It's really beautiful."

"Wind, do you think everyone who looks up at the sky sees the same starry sky?"

Ye Feng: "Although I really wanted to tell him that it was true, unfortunately it wasn't, because the earth is round, so what we see when we look up is not the same sky, but only a corner of the same 'sky'."

Hermione: ̄へ ̄

"You're wrong. Since we only see a corner of the sky, doesn't that mean they all belong to the same sky? So what we see when we look up is the same sky!"

Ye Feng: "What you said isn't wrong."

"The moon of today is not the moon of the ancients, yet the moon of today once shone on the ancients. I wonder... if the starry sky is the same in every world..." Ye Feng murmured, thinking of his relatives and friends in another world.

Although he suffered from severe social anxiety in his previous life and had almost no friends, and rarely contacted his relatives and even his parents, they were still his relatives and friends. So even though he was living a comfortable and happy life in this world, he still couldn't help but think of them occasionally.

What terrified Ye Feng was that he thought of them less and less often, and he was afraid that one day he would suddenly forget them all.

"Feng, did I... say something wrong?"

Sensing Ye Feng's sudden drop in mood, Hermione was momentarily at a loss. She sat up in a panic and looked at Ye Feng, which made the somewhat disappointed Ye Feng feel a little flustered, and also a little... touched.

"Xiao Feng, although your aunt and uncle have gone on a trip with my parents, you still have us. I will always be by your side..." As she spoke, Zhang Qiu gently hugged Ye Feng.

Feeling the warm embrace and smelling the faint barbecue scent emanating from Zhang Qiu, Ye Feng's lips curled up slightly.

"Yes, I still have you all."

"Besides, I am a cultivator! Isn't it just another world? Since I can travel here, I can travel back. As long as I am strong enough, it is not impossible to open a portal connecting the two worlds."

Ye Feng didn't say the last part aloud, but he knew it was highly likely. After all, he had a system. Although the system didn't seem to have anything that could increase cultivation, he could find all kinds of knowledge from it if he wanted to. So he was confident that he could find his way home.

The only concern is that the time flow is different between the two worlds. However, even if the time flow is different and a situation like "wanting to care for one's parents but they are no longer there" occurs, he can make up for it when he becomes truly powerful. After all, isn't reversing time and reviving the deceased a basic plot for protagonists in fantasy and martial arts novels?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng instantly stopped feeling sad. After all, regrets that can be made up for in the future are not really regrets. And since there are no regrets, what is there for him to be sad about?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng, though feeling comfortable in Zhang Qiu's embrace, still managed to break free. Seeing the smile return to Ye Feng's face, the others instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Dumbledore, who was leisurely drinking tea with Grindelwald and Snape in the distance, also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

There was no way around it; this was a "big shot," and if he really got upset and caused some trouble, he would be the one who ended up getting hurt. So, seeing that Ye Feng was alright, Dumbledore naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This kid is really popular with women. But it's good that Zhang Qiu and the others have kept him in check. Otherwise, if he were really allowed to run wild, Hogwarts would probably have been renovated countless times by now."

As for the fact that Ye Feng has more than one girl by his side, that's a matter for young people like them. Besides, they're not married, and as long as they're not married, the law can't control how many girlfriends someone has.

Besides, Zhang Qiu and the others didn't say anything, so why are the others worrying? That's right, Ye Feng is a bit clueless. If he were even a little bit more sensible, he would have become a man by now instead of a boy. After all, it's not just the few girls around him who are lusting after him; the senior and junior girls are just as envious.

For some reason, Ye Feng, who had recovered, suddenly couldn't help but shiver.

Ye Feng: ̄へ ̄╬

"I always feel like someone is talking badly about me behind my back."

Chapter 168 Ye Feng: Not every holiday is suitable to celebrate.

"The moon of today is not the same as that of the ancients, but the moon of today once... graced the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"It suddenly occurred to me that the Mid-Autumn Festival is not far away."

Harry:!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

Ron: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ(???)

"Another...another holiday is coming?"

Ye Feng: "Uh~ About three months from now."

Harry: ( ̄ω ̄;)

Ron: ⊙︿⊙

"It's going to be that long? Aren't there any holidays coming up soon?"

Hearing Ron's words, Ye Feng thought about it carefully and nodded, saying, "There really is one, but you can't talk about it, or you can't even say it out loud, otherwise you will be erased by some terrifying and mysterious being."

Hermione: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"Gulu~"

Ron: "Is it... really that terrifying? What's its name? Is it the same as the Mysterious Man's?"

Ye Feng: (¬_¬)

"Voldemort? He doesn't deserve the title. He's a terrifying being who roams the myriad worlds and countless dimensions, capable of sealing and destroying a super-world at will. And his name is—the Harmony Beast."

"Gulu~"

Harry and Ron were stunned by Ye Feng's words, while Hermione couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She realized that Ye Feng was just talking nonsense. There was no such terrifying existence in the world, and there was only one world, wasn't there? As for the myriad worlds and endless dimensions, it was obviously something from a novel, so Hermione didn't take it to heart.

Seeing that Harry and Ron were stunned and their eyes were filled with a desire to explore, Ye Feng continued, "That is a day of remembrance that belongs only to the people of that country in the East. It is a day of remembrance for them who overcame numerous difficulties and saved the day from collapse, and fought their way out of the great powers with endless blood and tears, and stood tall among the nations of the world again."

Harry: (°o°)

Harry was stunned when he heard Ye Feng's words. He never expected that there was such a great nation in the far East. Even Hermione couldn't help but take it seriously when Ye Feng mentioned this, because if she was not mistaken, Ye Feng was talking about their country.

Because she liked Ye Feng, she learned a lot about the country he lived in. However, because the flow of information in that era was not as developed as in later generations, her knowledge was extremely limited. Even so, she was still shocked by the country's great achievements.

Seeing their expressions, Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction and continued, "In a few days, it will be the anniversary of that great organization in that country, and in a month, there will be an anniversary to commemorate the founding of that great army."

"However, you can forget about those two holidays, because in this world, you can't even talk about them, let alone mention them, or we'll be finished. But there's a more... well, that kind of holiday in two months."

"Well... how should I put it? Professor Dumbledore has already experienced the horror of that holiday, so although it is a holiday, I don't recommend that you celebrate it."

"Why?"×3

Ye Feng: "Hmm... it's somewhat similar to Halloween, but there are also huge differences."

"To put it simply, the horror stories still circulating on campus today originated from my Halloween costume. And that holiday... if you play like that, there might actually be someone there playing with you, and you might not realize something's wrong until the very end or even afterward."

Harry, Ron: 0ДQ

"No... stop talking, Ye Feng, stop talking, I... I won't go through this anymore, okay?"

Hermione: ( ̄ー ̄)

"The unsolved mystery of Hogwarts—'The Horror Legend of Halloween' has finally been solved. This terrifying legend, which has been circulating for two or three years and still scares many newly enrolled young wizards so much that they dare not go to the toilet alone at night and dare not go out on Halloween, was actually created by you."
