Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 25 - 25 The Real Golden Finger i



After Shen Yuan clearly refused, Fu Hua dared not bring up the topic again. However, Fu Hua’s attitude did not change due to Shen Yuan’s rejection.

In Fu Hua’s view, even if he can’t get the Fu Family to firmly latch onto Shen Yuan’s coattails and become one of the influencers of the Great Xia’s situation, it can still be greatly beneficial to maintain a good relationship with such a powerful figure.

Shen Yuan returned to the first-floor hall.

After the incident two days ago, all members of the Fu Family except for Fu Hua chose to move out of this mansion, leaving only Fu Hua waiting for Shen Yuan to come out of seclusion.

However, Shen Yuan did not expect to see a scene in the hall that completely took him by surprise.

The black kitten that he had renamed Bai Xue was lazily sprawled on the couch, with her paws around a remote control that was even bigger than her, and a plate full of various freeze-dried snacks by her side.

While watching the drama on the TV, Bai Xue would stick out her tongue to roll up a piece of freeze-dried snack from the plate and chew on it with gusto, her cute little face full of indescribable contentment.

“What on earth did I raise?”

Seeing this scene, Shen Yuan was somewhat puzzled. He walked straight towards the couch.

The kitten Bai Xue, who was engrossed in the TV drama, extended her paw and patted the plate next to her, indicating the servant to put down the new flavour of freeze-dried snacks, and not to disturb her watching TV.

However, after waiting for a while, Bai Xue still didn’t hear the sound of freeze- dried snacks being put down, and the person who had been walking towards the couch seemed to have stopped behind her.

Bai Xue’s little brows furrowed, and she turned around with evident displeasure, only to almost have her heart stop from what she saw.

The fearsome being who had been secluded for two days was standing behind her with a glowering expression, and all her actions of eating and watching TV had been seen by him.

Bai Xue trembled and quickly tried to get up, but in her haste, one paw stepped on the edge of the plate, causing the plate full of freeze-dried snacks to spill over her.

With her fur full of freeze-dried snacks, Bai Xue struggled to get out from under the plate and carefully squatted on the couch, putting on an adorable and pleasing manner.

“Meow- Meow-!”

Seeing Bai Xue’s reaction, Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes and finally confirmed that Bai Xue was definitely not a normal kitten.

Regardless of how intelligent a regular kitten is, it’s not possible for it to fear being observed by him and actively try to please him.

“Could she also be one of the demons that tried to attack me that night?”

Such a thought flashed through his mind, but then Shen Yuan glanced at the young kitten with freeze-dried snacks all over her and a face full of pleasing looks, he quickly dismissed the idea.

“Given Bai Xue’s size, she would struggle to even catch a single large mouse, much less attack a human. At most, she is a little demon that gained spiritual wisdom under the influence of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge.”

Picking up Bai Xue by the scruff of her neck and shaking off the freeze-dried snacks that were stuck to her fur, Shen Yuan placed Bai Xue back on his shoulder.

Seeing that the fearsome being didn’t seem to have any intentions of punishing her, Bai Xue finally sighed a breath of relief.

When Bai Xue first entered the mansion two days ago, her instincts detected a peculiar soul inside it.

After Shen Yuan received the Darkness-Light Sword, Bai Xue noticed the Sword Slave hidden within it.

Bai Xue had planned to quietly steal the soul and take a bite or two to replenish herself, but who knew that the soul was alive and scared Bai Xue so much that she hid under the bed.

Only when Shen Yuan went into seclusion with the Darkness-Light Sword did the servants of the Fu Family bring her out, and they treated her to a feast.

The past two days were undoubtedly the most comfortable days Bai Xue had ever experienced in her life.

She had small freeze-dried snacks of various flavors and catnip as soon as she opened her mouth, she was the sole occupant of the super large TV in the main hall, and no one would bother her even if she watched it all day and night.

Even during the time she was protected by the Maine Coon, Bai Xue only ate some snacks stolen by stray cats from the store and played with a handed- down mobile phone. How could she have enjoyed such treatment?

Bai Xue quickly lost herself in this luxurious lifestyle. In fact, she wished that Shen Yuan would stay in his meditation room for another year or two.

Unfortunately, this comfortable life only lasted for two days. After Shen Yuan’s seclusion ended, Bai Xue had to obediently return to his side.

She enjoyed such a life, but she was also aware that the Fu Family treated her so well only because of Shen Yuan.

In addition, her own life was still beholden to Shen Yuan. She dared not have any rebellious intentions.

Glancing at the small furball curled up on his shoulder, Shen Yuan prepared to walk out the door.

“Teacher Shen, are you going home? Let me escort you!”

Fu Hua, seeing this, quickly approached him with a smiling face.

There was a distance from this villa area to the old city district. Shen Yuan did not refuse Fu Hua’s goodwill.

As he walked out of the mansion, a black luxury car had been waiting. Fu Hua once again occupied the driver’s seat and personally chauffeured Shen Yuan.

Throughout the ride, Fu Hua was deliberately making conversation, trying to improve his relationship with Shen Yuan.

However, he never brought up the idea of openly aligning with Shen Yuan and wanting Shen Yuan to intervene in the situation of the Great Xia Kingdom.

In the strictest sense, among the entire Fu Family, only Old Master Fu had some connection with him. This visit was also made out of respect for Old Master Fu.

Having saved Old Master Fu once, Shen Yuan could completely ignore any debts of gratitude. He did not have to bother about it.

However, what he experienced at the Fu Family mansion made Shen Yuan realize that the Fu Family could still have its uses.

Gently scratching Bai Xue’s chin with his right hand, the kitten kept purring pleasantly. Shen Yuan said in a flat tone:

“I can give you a chance.”

Fu Hua, who had been continuously trying to make conversation, perked up, realizing the implicit message in Shen Yuan’s words, and hurriedly said:

“Whatever Teacher Shen needs, the Fu Family will do its utmost to accommodate!”

Shen Yuan waved his hand, his tone becoming even more indifferent.

“It is simply a trade.”

“I want the Fu Family to search for ancient legends from a thousand years ago within the territory of the Great Xia and items related to them. The more, the better.”

This trade was naturally inspired by the ‘Sect Masters Directory’ and the Darkness-Light Sword.

The two hidden achievements he completed, if placed a thousand years ago, would have been extremely difficult tasks.

However, after thousands of years of transformations and a long period of Spirit Energy depletion, many difficult tasks have become incredibly simple.

Just by writing a name, one could become the Falling Clouds Sect Master, and defeating a feeble old man who just stepped into the Essence Refining Stage could complete the Unparalleled Sword Immortal achievement and receive two valuable Earthly Destroyer Divine Skill seeds. This was unthinkable a thousand years ago.

If he had travelled to a thousand years ago, Shen Yuan would only be following the novice guidance, slowly climbing up from the bottom with the system’s help to ultimately ascend and become an immortal.

But with the changes over a thousand years, Shen Yuan could easily complete hidden achievements and receive rare Divine Skill rewards. Wasn’t this more exciting than going step by step?

Shen Yuan increasingly realized that his greatest advantage wasn’t just the system itself, but also the time difference that was late by a thousand years!
