A Joyful Mood!
Outside the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
By the time they returned to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, it was already night.
However, the entire building was brilliantly lit, with all the lights turned on, illuminating the giant tower that pierced the clouds as if it were day.
Bai Yuan looked up at the towering silhouette, still feeling a sense of awe at the continent’s number one architectural feat.
It truly lived up to its reputation as the continent’s most powerful organization.
Good thing I didn’t join Shrek; otherwise, I’d probably be living in a doghouse and getting brainwashed.
The car stopped at the entrance.
Someone was already waiting there.
Seeing Leng Yaozhu get out of the car, they immediately came forward to greet her.
“Your Excellency Heavenly Phoenix, you have returned.” “Mm.” Leng Yaozhu gave a faint response.
“Has anything major happened in the Pagoda recently?” “No.” “Good.” Leng Yaozhu turned to look at Bai Yuan and said to the person, “Arrange accommodations for my disciple.” “Disciple?” The person was slightly taken aback, their tone carrying a hint of surprise.
“That is rare indeed.
Your Excellency Heavenly Phoenix has personally taken a disciple?” He didn’t ask further and continued, “Alright, then we shall arrange it in…” Leng Yaozhu interrupted him, her tone calm but brook no argument: “Just arrange it next to me.” The staff member was clearly stunned, a flash of shock appearing in his eyes.
This youth was actually being valued this highly?
To actually be placed next to the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo?
But he quickly composed himself and said respectfully, “Yes.” Leng Yaozhu turned to Bai Yuan: “Then you go with him first.
I still have some matters to attend to.” “Alright, Teacher.” Bai Yuan nodded.
Bai Yuan followed the staff member into the elevator.
The elevator doors closed slowly.
The man pressed a button located at a very high level on the panel, and the elevator began to rise smoothly.
“Young master, since you are His Excellency’s disciple, there are some things I feel I should introduce to you.” The staff member’s posture was respectful, but his tone was quite solemn.
“The Spirit Pagoda was founded ten thousand years ago by the Spirit Ice Douluo, Lord Huo Yuhao.
It was originally intended to promote peace between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, using Soul Spirit technology to replace the method of hunting Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings.
It’s just that…
after ten thousand years, the current Spirit Pagoda is no longer what it once was.
It is riddled with internal factions and constant power struggles.” Bai Yuan didn’t reply, listening quietly.
“Today, the core of power in the Spirit Pagoda is held by the Leng family and the Qiangu Family.” “So, as you have just arrived at the Spirit Pagoda, it’s best not to provoke the Qiangu Family if you can help it, to avoid causing trouble for Her Excellency.” The staff member lowered his voice slightly.
“The Qiangu Family lineage has immense influence in the council.
On the Leng family’s side, if it weren’t for the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo presiding over things, they would likely have been suppressed by the Qiangu Family long ago.
That’s why Her Excellency has been looking for exceptionally talented young seedlings to nurture all these years…” At this point, the staff member glanced at Bai Yuan, his gaze holding a deeper meaning.
Bai Yuan understood perfectly.
This was a pointer.
Leng Yaozhu taking him as a disciple wasn’t just out of teacher-student affection; it was also an important piece placed by the Leng family in the power game of the Spirit Pagoda.
Seeing that Bai Yuan’s expression remained normal, without panic or excessive questioning, the staff member nodded inwardly.
This child was indeed steady.
“The Spirit Pagoda headquarters was first built ten thousand years ago.
It was originally located in Shrek City, but after multiple renovations and expansions, it is now eighty-one stories high and is recognized as the most magnificent building on the Douluo Continent.
Each floor has a different function.
Some are Soul Spirit storage areas, some are research and development centers, and some are offices for the high-level council members.
As for the floor where Her Excellency Heavenly Phoenix is located…” Before he could finish, the elevator emitted a crisp chime, and the doors slowly opened.
Bai Yuan stepped out, his pupils dilating slightly.
How did this look like a single floor inside a tower?
It was clearly an aerial palace floating among the clouds.
The entire space was extremely vast, with a ceiling over ten meters high paved with a pale yellow soul tool crystal.
It emitted a soft, non-glaring light that illuminated the place as bright as day without any visible lamps.
The floor was paved with a dark, unknown stone, polished to a mirror-like shine.
The four walls were embedded with solid soul tool screens, slowly displaying images of mountains, rivers, and stars, like a dream or a fantasy.
A faint, delicate fragrance permeated the air, bringing peace to the mind.
Exquisite works of art were placed every few steps along both sides of the corridor.
Some were sculptures of ancient Soul Masters, some were rare Soul Beast specimens sealed in crystal, and some even radiated Soul Power fluctuations.
The phrase ‘ultimate luxury’ was not enough to describe the grandeur here.
The staff member led Bai Yuan down the corridor, introducing things as they went: “Young master, at the very end opposite us is Her Excellency’s room.
This way, please—” He led Bai Yuan into another slightly narrower corridor, came to a door, and pushed it open.
“Young master, this is the room prepared for you.” Bai Yuan walked in, his gaze sweeping over the spacious and bright living room, the elegantly arranged reception area, and the fully equipped soul tool furniture, nodding slightly.
The living room was very large.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was a full wall of transparent soul tool glass, offering a panoramic view of the night scene of Eastsea City.
Sofa, coffee table, bookshelf, soul tool screen…
everything that should be there was there, and even things that shouldn’t be there were present.
“Not bad,” Bai Yuan praised sincerely.
The staff member smiled without speaking and led him toward the bedroom.
He pushed the door open— Bai Yuan stood at the door, completely frozen.
Inside the bedroom, everything in sight was yellow and purple.
Purple bed curtains, yellow bedposts; Yellow patterns were embroidered on the purple carpet, and the yellow wall lamps were set against purple upholstered walls.
Even the small lamp on the bedside table had a purple shade and a gilded yellow base.
Bai Yuan: “…” Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, and looking at the overwhelming yellow and purple color scheme, the staff member’s heart skipped a beat.
Does this master not like it?
Thinking about it, several groups of people had seen this yellow-purple room before, and not a single one hadn’t called it ugly.
If it weren’t for the fact that this floor was the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo’s territory and no one dared to take initiative here, this room would have been redecorated long ago.
“Young master, do you not like this color?” the staff member asked cautiously.
“How about I change it for you?
I’ll go arrange it right away.” “No need.” Bai Yuan raised his hand, interrupting him.
The staff member was stunned.
Bai Yuan strode into the bedroom, his gaze sweeping across the sea of yellow and purple, and then…
His lips slowly curled into a grin.
“What’s going on?
This yellow-purple color scheme, why does it look more and more pleasing to the eye the more I look at it?” He walked to the bedside, reached out to touch the yellow bedpost, then pinched the purple bed curtains.
The more he looked, the more he liked it; his eyes were almost glowing.
“It’s truly beautiful!” The staff member stood at the door, completely bewildered.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back down.
This young master…
His taste is truly…
unique.
The people who came to this room before all complained that the color scheme was hideously ugly, wishing they could move out overnight.
After all, when purple and yellow are paired together, some find it regal, while others find it tacky.
Most people find it an eyesore, so this room had always been left empty and never cleared out.
But this one, from the looks of it, really likes it?
The staff member was silent for a moment, silently labeling Bai Yuan in his heart.
“The young master’s taste is…
quite…
unique.” Bai Yuan didn’t care what he was thinking.
He was already wandering around the bedroom, touching this and tapping that, the smile on his face impossible to suppress.
Yellow and purple.
Purple plus yellow.
This color scheme made him feel energized and familiar just looking at it.
Isn’t this the color scheme Xiao Bai likes??
He didn’t know if he was influenced by her, but the more he looked at yellow and purple, the more pleasing it became!
Now that he was living in this yellow-purple room, the first thing he would see every day when he woke up would be purple and yellow—.
Isn’t this tailor-made for him?
The more Bai Yuan thought about it, the better it felt.
He almost laughed out loud.
Seeing that he was quite satisfied, the staff member breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said sensibly, “It is good that the young master is satisfied.
Please rest.
I shall take my leave now.
If you need anything, feel free to command me at any time.” “Alright, thank you for your hard work.” Bai Yuan nodded and watched the staff member retreat and close the door.
He turned back around, looking at the yellow and purple everywhere, spread his arms, and took a deep breath.
Comfortable.
So comfortable.
This was where he should be living.
Bai Yuan retracted his gaze, walked to the bedside, and patted the soft pillow.
He lay down with satisfaction.
Yellow and purple.
Truly wonderful.
