So he simply enjoyed his tea while looking at the moving clouds in the sky as the cherry blossoms slowly fell to the ground.
The warm breeze made the atmosphere serene as his thoughts drifted back to his dream.
'What was it? I don't think it was merely a dream, but I don't have any recollection of it as well. And my cultivation...'
There were far too many questions with little to no answers to them.
[Do you mind telling me what is happening now? Maybe I can help you with it.]
'...I suspect it's related to my bloodline.'
[Ok then I can't help you.]
Shen Yuan felt his eyebrow twitching. 'Useless.'
[Your bloodline is already something that I have never seen, how do you suppose I deal with it? It already made m-]
Yue Lan abruptly stopped as she felt a malevolent presence forming inside Shen Yuan's sea of consciousness.
'Hmm? What did my bloodline do?'
Yue Lan quickly took back her words, not wanting to face that abomination anytime soon.
[...Your bloodline already made you so strong, what can I even do about it.]
Shen Yuan nodded his head, 'True, I need to find out more about this bloodline, so far it has the ability to devour others' talent and refine them before giving them to me, but I have not been able to gain any bloodline till now.'
[Why don't you try to devour someone with a bloodline next time to see what reaction your bloodline will have?]
Shen Yuan finished tea and placed the cup on the table before rubbing his chin softly, 'That's doable, I can try and see what reaction my bloodline will have at that point.'
[Why don't you name your bloodline something? We can't keep referring to it as your bloodline or other things.]
'That's a good idea, why don't you suggest a name.' Shen Yuan agreed with her and said.
[Haha, you asked the right person why don't you use—]
Yue Lan stopped talking as she felt her eye twitching, the presence of that abomination seemed to be getting strong again.
Wan Ling lowered her head further, "I was going to give the honey to my clan when I went back."
Shen Yuan exhaled a long sigh, took out two portions of honey-filled cups from his inventory and gave one to her, "Here, taste it. Let me know how it is."
Wan Ling raised her head as she smelled the delicious aroma spreading all around her; she salivated a little as her nose tingled with sweetness.
"Bu-but it's yours, how can I take something so precious?" She hurriedly shook her head and refused.
Shen Yuan pushed the honey-filled cup into her hands and spoke with a laugh, "No need to worry, I have a lot of it, and I will have more of it in the future."
Wan Ling looked at the honey in her hands with struggling eyes; she couldn't make up her mind whether to eat it or not.
Shen Yuan looked at her with gentle eyes and placed a hand on her head and softly patted her, "Go ahead and eat it. No need to overthink something so simple."
Wan Ling let go of her struggle and softly nodded her head; she took out a spoon from her spatial ring and scooped a bit of honey from her cup.
Shen Yuan nodded his head with a smile and raised his cup before directly drinking the honey from it.
[How crass.]
'Does she have any special physique or bloodline?' Shen Yuan ignored her remark and asked.
[None. She has neither bloodline nor physique, but her talent in the sword is really strong. She is nearing First Level Sword Intent already. She will probably comprehend it as soon as she reaches the Origin Core Creation Realm.]
'Oh, not bad at all. Maybe I should give her some pointers in the way of the sword,' he thought.
[Sure, that will be good, but isn't it better if Huo Rong or Bing Rong trained their disciples?]
'There was a reason I had them accept these guys as their disciples; I already have plans for them.'
[If you say so.]
Yue Lan got silent after that.
Wan Ling soon finished eating her share of the honey as she looked at Shen Yuan in confusion.
"That... was underwhelming, nothing happened to me?" She tilted her head in confusion.
Shen Yuan stood up and explained, "That's because you don't have a bloodline or physique for it to focus on; it will instead strengthen your constitution over time and help to strengthen your Dao Foundation."
