Yu Xuanji's soul, though it had guarded the cave tomb for nearly a thousand years, had never once ventured beyond the formation.
She was utterly unaware of the plants that grew outside the cave.
Seeing Yu Xuanji's joy, Cheng Xiaofan explained, "This type of bamboo is called Black Blood Bamboo. It's a famous variety, exceptionally sturdy. In ancient times, swords made from this bamboo could rival those made of steel."
"Mr. Cheng," Yu Xuanji asked curiously, "how can you build a pavilion with such strong bamboo, especially without any tools?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and replied, "I can use the power of this space to help me build the pavilion. You'll be living in it in no time."
"Alright, I won't chat with you anymore. I'm starting to build!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xiaofan sat down cross-legged on the ground.
He closed his eyes slightly, beginning to visualize the pavilion's design in his Sea of Consciousness, envisioning every detail before calling upon the power of the space.
At that moment, the spiritual energy within the space immediately gathered behind Cheng Xiaofan, forming a colossal vortex that began to spin ceaselessly.
The bamboo poles piled to the side flew one by one into the rotating vortex.
Yu Xuanji was stunned by the miraculous sight before her.
From the vortex, rhythmic cracking sounds echoed, reminiscent of majestic music.
To Yu Xuanji, Cheng Xiaofan, sitting before her, seemed like a divine being.
Within the spinning vortex, layers upon layers, like surging tides, continuously emanated seven-colored light.
Bathed in the seven-colored radiance, Cheng Xiaofan and the light seemed to merge into one.
Yu Xuanji stared intently at Cheng Xiaofan, pondering in her heart why her master, Chen Zhen, had entrusted her to him.
There existed such a living, divine being in this world!
With this thought, Yu Xuanji involuntarily knelt before him.
She murmured, "Mr. Cheng, from now on, I am forever yours. To be yours is a blessing from my past life!"
"I love you, you are the eternal god in my heart!"
"To be conquered by you is also my eternal pride!"
Boom!
As Yu Xuanji was continuously murmuring, a classical, exquisitely beautiful bamboo pavilion landed on the ground near the pond.
Concurrently, various furnishings such as a bamboo bed, stools, a lounge chair, and a coffee table floated out from the rotating vortex and drifted into the pavilion.
In no time!
Cheng Xiaofan suddenly opened his eyes.
He smiled slightly at Yu Xuanji and said, "Finished!"
"Mr. Cheng, you are too amazing!" Yu Xuanji crawled forward on her knees, her face filled with immense admiration.
Cheng Xiaofan stood up and said to her, "Yu Xuanji, why are you kneeling on the ground? Get up quickly, I'll take you on a tour of the pavilion!"
Yu Xuanji quickly stood up from the ground, smiling, "Mr. Cheng, I don't know why I knelt before you. But one thing I am very clear about: I truly admire you immensely!"
"Really, I have never seen a man as capable as you!"
"I finally understand why my master entrusted me to you, because you are truly extraordinary!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Stop praising me, or I'll become too embarrassed."
"Let's go, we'll explore the pavilion!"
Yu Xuanji immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a look inside the pavilion."
Upon entering the bamboo pavilion, Yu Xuanji's first impression was that it was incredibly beautiful.
She recalled that her master, Jian Zhen, had once accepted an invitation from the Emperor and taken her to the imperial palace. Now, thinking back, although the palace was luxuriously decorated, it still paled in comparison to Cheng Xiaofan's bamboo pavilion.
All sorts of furniture were present inside.
Upstairs, besides a living room, there were two bedrooms. Each bedroom had a bed, and near the windowsill, two pots of flowers were placed.
Yu Xuanji asked curiously, "Mr. Cheng, why are there two bedrooms upstairs?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Whenever I come into this space and wish to rest here, we can each have our own bedroom!"
Yu Xuanji's eyes twinkled seductively as she said, "The bed is quite wide. Wouldn't it be nice for the two of us to share a bedroom?"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was momentarily speechless upon hearing this.
Could it be that Yu Xuanji had taken a liking to him?
He found it difficult to respond to such a topic!
Cheng Xiaofan, not daring to pick up her conversational thread, said, "Yu Xuanji, overall, is there anything about this bamboo pavilion that you are not satisfied with?"
"You don't need to be polite with me. If you have any suggestions, I can modify it immediately!"
Yu Xuanji shook her head and smiled, "This bamboo pavilion is too perfect; I can't find any flaws at all."
"Mr. Cheng, I truly can't imagine you being able to build such a beautiful and magnificent bamboo pavilion using the power of this space!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "When I was cutting Black Blood Bamboo outside, I saw a very beautiful little white rabbit. I'll catch it for you as a companion!"
Yu Xuanji exclaimed excitedly, "Ah, that would be wonderful, thank you, Mr. Cheng!"
After Cheng Xiaofan exited the space, he stood at the cave entrance, leaped, and flew into the nearby bamboo forest.
He immediately activated his Dragon Eye clairvoyance, scanning the surroundings.
Soon, about a hundred meters away, Cheng Xiaofan spotted the little white rabbit crouching in the grass.
The little white rabbit was as white as snow, without a single stray hair. Its ruby-like eyes sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight, appearing full of life.
This was a very spirited little white rabbit.
It seemed to be waiting specifically for Cheng Xiaofan to find it.
The moment Cheng Xiaofan's gaze fell upon the rabbit, it abruptly turned its head, its beautiful eyes meeting Cheng Xiaofan's gaze.
From such a distance, the little white rabbit already sensed that Cheng Xiaofan was looking for it.
Whoosh!
It leaped from the grass and came running towards him.
With a few bounds, the little white rabbit was at Cheng Xiaofan's feet.
"Little Snowball, come up!" Cheng Xiaofan spread his hands forward, saying to the rabbit.
Snowball was originally a nickname given by the people of Zhuxi Village to Taotie Bao. Cheng Xiaofan had casually borrowed it and given it to the little white rabbit before him.
If Taotie Bao knew about this, he wasn't sure if he would be angry.
Or if he would fight with the little white rabbit over favor.
The little white rabbit immediately leaped and landed in Cheng Xiaofan's arms.
"Squeak, squeak..." the little white rabbit chirped happily at him.
Cheng Xiaofan instantly understood the little rabbit's language.
It said, Master, you are so cool and handsome. The first time I saw you, I felt that we, a rabbit and a person, were fated to meet!
