[Beast Companion: Xueyan (3rd Level Qi Gathering Realm)]"
"Hmm..." Shen Yuan looked at all the stats and soon swiped his hand to put away the status screen.
"Everything is in place, but I didn't know Xueyan was already in the Qi Gathering Realm. That's a nice surprise." He poured himself more wine.
"[She might be slow now, but once she starts getting enough resources, she will reach the peak of her bloodline in no time at all.]"
Yue Lan commented.
"It's pretty neat of you to add this new Beast Companion column," he thought back to his cultivation, "And I'm still improving passively; this cultivation technique is really nuts. But it's quite slow as well."
"[That's not the case at all. You have not been cultivating actively; the cultivation base only improves this much by passive absorption of the Qi gathered in your Dantian. And it's only been a few days—you might break through to the next level within this month even if you didn't cultivate.]"
Yue Lan's voice sounded, and Shen Yuan could almost imagine her shaking her head.
Shen Yuan chuckled and put away his wine cup and gourd. He stood up and stretched, "Mmm..." He stood up straight as he looked at Xueyan.
"Hmm, it's a good time to call Big Sister Huo Rong. It's been some time since we had a chat, and I can introduce Xueyan to her as well." He thought with a smile as he went forward and picked up Xueyan, who was lying down peacefully on the soft grass.
He stroked her back and said, "You want to meet up with my big sister?"
Xueyan raised her head and looked at him curiously while tilting her head.
"...I will take that as a yes." Shen Yuan chuckled and sent a message to Huo Rong with his Harem Connect.
"[Shen Yuan:— Big Sis Huo Rong, you wanna meet up right now? I'm in my mansion inside the Inner Sect. I'll send you the exact location if you wanna come.]"
He waited for the response while saying to Yue Lan, "It's really good you made private chatting available in the Harem Connect; otherwise, it would have been problematic to handle all of them at once if I wanted to meet with one of them."
Yue Lan's proud voice sounded,
"[Hmph! Of course, you will get the best features; the system is created by me after all.]"
Shen Yuan shook his head as he opened his mouth to say something, but his system screen showed an incoming message.
"[Huo Rong:— Don't worry about the location; I know where you're staying. I will be there in a bit.]"
Her voice sounded cheerful as she seemed to be quite happy to be coming to meet with Shen Yuan.
He smiled lightly and sat down on his chair to wait for her. He put Xueyan on his lap while gently stroking her back.
"I really can't get bored of caressing you," he looked at Xueyan and spoke in amusement.
"Purrr..." Xueyan purred as she lay flat on Shen Yuan's lap.
"Well, at least you are enjoying your rest." He shook his head and closed his eyes to wait for Huo Rong.
...
"Yuan'er." A voice sounded from his side as he opened his eyes and saw Huo Rong standing there with a beautiful smile on her face.
"Been a while, Big Sis." Shen Yuan smiled widely upon seeing her.
Huo Rong looked at Shen Yuan's lap to see Xueyan lying down, "Oh? You got yourself a beast companion? What's her name?"
Shen Yuan stood up and put Xueyan on the chair instead, "Her name is Xueyan. By the way, how did you know her gender?"
Huo Rong tapped her chin thoughtfully, "Hmm... what a beautiful name. I didn't know your naming sense was so good. As for your question, it's quite easy after someone reaches my level."
Shen Yuan proudly raised his head. "Well, of course, the one you are talking about is me."
Huo Rong giggled softly and shook her head, seeing him acting so smug. She moved forward a little and embraced Shen Yuan.
"I missed you," she placed her head on his chest as his heartbeat resonated with hers.
Shen Yuan smiled fondly and embraced her back, "It's indeed been a while since we have been able to talk with each other like this."
They stayed like that for a while, calming their beating hearts.
Shen Yuan left her embrace after a while and pulled out a sofa from his storage ring.
"Come, let's sit down and have a little talk." He sat down and patted the right side next to him.
Huo Rong smiled affectionately and sat down beside him.
But before they could start talking, Xueyan jumped up from her chair and came onto Shen Yuan's lap.
He looked at her in amusement and shook his head before patting her, "Alright, you can sit here as well."
'This little guy is acting more and more like an orange cat,' he thought with laughter as he remembered the monsters named Orange Cat from his past life.
"What a cute little thing," Huo Rong said as she extended her hand to pat Xueyan, but before her hand could reach, Xueyan wiggled her body to the side to avoid her hand.
Shen Yuan laughed seeing this, while Huo Rong felt her lips twitching.
"Sigh, what a troublesome thing. Anyways, do you know which species she is from?" Huo Rong turned her face to Shen Yuan and asked.
"Hmm, I don't know about that as well," he said while looking at Xueyan.
"Show me her status screen, Lan'er."

Shen Yuan looked at her status window; it was a lot smaller than his, yet it contained all the details that he needed about her.
"So, her species is called Primal Nexus Beast." He turned his face to look at Huo Rong before asking, "Have you heard about them, Big Sis?"
Huo Rong thought about it long and hard but shook her head in the end, "No, I have not heard about them, but maybe you can find something in the Sect's library."
