“So, which one of you is going to explain what the hell is going on?”

Shen Yuan stood in the courtyard with an unkind expression, Bai Xue, the pangolin, and Maine Coon all in front of him.

Bai Xue was squatting obediently in front of the Natural Spirit Pool, her beautiful heterochromatic eyes twinkling as she tried to charm her way out of the problem.

The pangolin, on the other hand, was frolicking in the Natural Spirit Pool, splashing water around with its golden head. It nuzzled Bai Xue with its head, acting like the spoilt son of the house.

The Maine Coon seemed a lot more honest. After a moment’s hesitation, he mumbled,

“Apologies, sir. The pangolin didn’t want to be separated from us, so after we discussed it, I hid him in my mouth and brought him back.”

Shen Yuan cast a sidelong glance at the Maine Coon and retorted,

“Do I really look that easy to fool?”

Shen Yuan knew full well that although the Maine Coon looked fierce, he was very aware of his boundaries and absolutely wouldn’t take the initiative to bring the pangolin back without permission.

As for the pangolin, this silly son of the Dragon Sovereign, he definitely wouldn’t have the brains to think of such a way to get here.

Among the three of them, the only one who could issue orders to the Maine Coon and had the brains to come up with this idea, was Bai Xue- who was trying to charm her way out of this situation.

“You, come here!”

Shen Yuan grabbed Bai Xue by the scruff of her neck and brought her into the room.

The Maine Coon immediately showed a worried expression, opening and closing his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Only the pangolin kept its carefree appearance, frolicking in the Natural Spirit Pool, splashing water around.

Although Lake Dongting is vast, due to a lack of a Dragon Sovereign managing the river arteries over the past thousands of years, it had not actually formed a Natural Spirit Pool during the early stages of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge.

When Shen Yuan released the Natural Spirit Pool, the pangolin, a member of the Aquatic Tribe and Dragon Sovereign, was undoubtedly attracted. This was why he voluntarily crawled out of the Maine Coon’s mouth.

In the room, Shen Yuan placed Bai Xue on the table, his eyes fixed on the lively little kitty before him.

Made uneasy by Shen Yuan’s gaze, Bai Xue’s big heterochromatic eyes flickered around, not daring to look Shen Yuan in the eye.

“Stop pretending, I know you understand what I’m saying.”

Shen Yuan said to Bai Xue.

Bai Xue’s eyes froze for a moment, then she tilted her head and tried to charm her way out of the situation.

Shen Yuan glared at Bai Xue and said impatiently,

“I know you like eating fish, and we do have dried fish at home, but the pangolin is now the Dragon Sovereign of Lake Dongting.

He should stay in Lake Dongting, enjoying the offerings of Yunmeng Village and others, not stay at home to serve as your toy.”

At this, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on Bai Xue’s face.

She was about to say something, but seemed to think better of it and immediately closed her mouth. Then, with her back feet firmly on the ground, she danced in front of Shen Yuan, gesturing vigorously.

Watching Bai Xue’s actions, Shen Yuan strove to understand what she was trying to say.

“Are you saying that since you fished the pangolin up, he should belong to you?”

At that, Bai Xue nodded vigorously.

A smirk tugged at the corner of Shen Yuan’s mouth.

If only the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch knew that Bai Xue saw his son as her pet, I wonder what his reaction would be.

Seeing that Shen Yuan still seemed unsatisfied, Bai Xue continued to intensely wave her gloved paws, gesticulating up and down.

“You also noticed that the pangolin has a lot of good things on him, and bringing him back could allow him to produce those good things to supplement the household?”

Bai Xue lifted her little head with great pride, seeming to eagerly await praise.

As for Bai Xue’s thoughts, Shen Yuan found it hard to evaluate. However, given Bai Xue’s intention to contribute to the household, he reached out and patted her on her little head.

“Alright! We’ll accept your reasoning this time.

You need to discuss with me before doing anything similar in the future.”

Upon realizing that she managed to pass this off, Bai Xue immediately jumped off the table with joy, running over to play with the Dragon Sovereign’s silly son by the Natural Spirit Pool.

Shen Yuan let out a helpless smile upon witnessing this scene.

With the Natural Spirit Pool properly arranged, a temporary dwelling for a dragon carp added to the household, Shen Yuan’s courtyard finally seemed to have a bit of a transcendent air.

Submerging himself in the Spirit Energy, he took the opportunity of the newfound leisure to open the system interface, looking at the completed beginner guide tasks and yet-to-be-claimed task rewards.

Task Reward: Falling Cloud Sect Grotto Residence Token (For disciples above Qi Transformation Stage, this token allows the bearer to open a grotto residence)

Falling Clouds Sect was long gone. Naturally, the token for opening grotto residence became useless in Shen Yuan’s hands. He had only finished the beginner guide tasks for the subsequent tasks.

He casually chose to claim the task reward and a black token slowly appeared in Shen Yuan’s hands.

The top of the token was supposed to bear the Falling Cloud Sect’s name, but it had been forcefully erased by some unseen force, leaving a blank space behind.

In the centre of the token, it was marked with the phrase “Bearer of this token can open a grotto residence”.

Initially, Shen Yuan did not hold high expectations for this token. However, upon holding it and examining it, his face broke into unexpected joy.

Shen Yuan initially thought that this grotto residence token was some sort of symbol representing a sect, but after some scrutiny, he discovered that this token was a special magic artifact.

Slowly infusing Mana into it, a streak of blue light flashed across the grotto residence token. Immediately, a formation structure was projected from the token onto the ground under Shen Yuan’s feet.

The formation slowly began to expand, until it enveloped the entire courtyard. The formation pattern subsequently solidified deeply into the space where the courtyard was located.

Within the courtyard, all creatures seemed to be bathing in a hot spring, experiencing a comforting feeling at the level of their spirit souls. The plants were even constantly extending their branches, revealing fresh green buds.

This was an Elementals Consolidating Greenery Array Formation bestowed upon the disciples who were opening their grotto residences thousands of years ago. It’s a composite array formation that combined benefits such as gathering Spirit Energy, refining Spirit Energy, Coagulating Spirits, and promoting growth of Spirit Plants.

While the uses of this array formation are wide-ranging, it was not highly valued as it required a large amount of Spirit Energy to maintain, and the effect was stronger with more abundant Spirit Energy.

The lower-tier disciples did not need such an energy-consuming formation, while the higher-tier disciples had better alternatives. Hence, over time, the Elementals Consolidating Greenery Array Formation became deemed as being of no particular value.

However, there’s no such concern for Shen Yuan.

In this courtyard was a Natural Spirit Pool. With its rich Spirit Energy abundance, it’s more than enough to support an entire reservoir, let alone a small array formation.

It could be said that the Elementals Consolidifying Greenery Array Formation that came with the Grotto Residence Token is indeed the most suitable array formation for Shen Yuan at the moment.

Besides the Elementals Consolidifying Greenery Array Formation, Grotto Residence Token also served as an extremely important function.

The one in possession of Grotto Residence Token will open the grotto residence in Falling Cloud Grotto Heavens, and the grotto residence that was established will possess certain spatial properties.

The original confined grotto residence would generate more spaces, and its internal spatial structure would be even more substantial.

This was the precious aspect of the Grotto Residence Token.

However, now that Falling Clouds Grotto Heavens is ruined, and without the influence of Falling Clouds Grotto Heavens, the effect seemed to have lost its purpose.

What Shen Yuan was not expecting was that due to Falling Cloud Sect being exterminated by divine punishment, all information about the Falling Cloud Sect was erased, including the information related to Falling Clouds Grotto Heavens on the Grotto Residence Token.

This Grotto Residence Token in Shen Yuan’s hand was no longer under the usage restriction of Falling Clouds Grotto Heavens. It could be utilized on the courtyard space Shen Yuan is currently in control of.

This courtyard space was accidentally created by Shen Yuan himself, leveraging the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, with a certain foundational spatial property.

If the Grotto Residence Token were used in the courtyard space, the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power that Shen Yuan possessed would acquire the potential to control spatial changes.

Shen Yuan had the opportunity to leverage the additional space brought about by the Grotto Residence Token to solidify the courtyard space thoroughly and refine this place into a Secret Realm!
