Yellow and Purple Are the Finest Colors Under Heaven! What a Delightful Mood!

Outside Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

By the time they returned to Spirit Pagoda headquarters, night had already fallen.

Yet the entire building was brightly lit, every light switched on, illuminating the towering giant spire that pierced the clouds as though it were daytime.

Bai Yuan looked up at its majestic outline and was still awed by this greatest building on the continent.

As expected of the continent's strongest organization.

Good thing he had not joined Shrek, or he would probably have been living in a doghouse while getting brainwashed.

The car stopped at the entrance.

Someone had already been waiting there. When Leng Yaozhu got out of the car, he immediately stepped forward.

"Your Excellency Heavenly Phoenix, you have returned."

"Mm." Leng Yaozhu responded indifferently. "Nothing major has happened in the tower lately, right?"

"No."

"Good."

Leng Yaozhu turned to Bai Yuan and said to the man, "Arrange accommodations for my disciple."

"Disciple?" The man paused, surprise evident in his voice.

"That is unusual. Your Excellency Heavenly Phoenix has personally taken a disciple?"

He did not ask further and continued, "All right, then we shall arrange for him to stay..."

Leng Yaozhu cut him off, her tone calm but unquestionable. "Arrange him beside me."

The staff member was clearly stunned, a trace of shock flashing through his eyes.

This young man was valued so highly?

He was actually being assigned a room next to Sky Phoenix Douluo's?

But he quickly composed himself and respectfully replied, "Yes."

Leng Yaozhu turned to Bai Yuan. "Go with him first. I have something to take care of."

"Alright, Teacher." Bai Yuan nodded.

Bai Yuan followed the staff member into the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed. The man pressed a button positioned near the very top of the panel, and the elevator began to rise smoothly.

"Young Master, since you are Her Excellency's disciple, there are some matters I believe I should explain to you."

The staff member was respectful in manner, but his tone was rather solemn.

"The Spirit Pagoda was founded ten thousand years ago by Lord Spirit Ice Douluo, Huo Yuhao. Its original purpose was to promote peace between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, using Soul Spirit technology to replace the practice of hunting Soul Beasts for Soul Rings.

"However... after ten thousand years, the Spirit Pagoda is no longer what it once was. Internal factions are everywhere, and power struggles never cease."

Bai Yuan did not respond and simply listened quietly.

"Currently, the core authority of the Spirit Pagoda is controlled by the Leng Family and the Qiangu Family."

"So, now that you have just arrived at the Spirit Pagoda, it would be best not to provoke the Qiangu Family if you can avoid it, lest you cause trouble for Her Excellency."

The staff member lowered his voice.

"The Qiangu Family's branch holds tremendous influence in the council.

"If not for Her Excellency Heavenly Phoenix holding the fort on the Leng Family's side, the Leng Family would likely have long been crushed by the Qiangu Family to the point that they could not even raise their heads.

"That is why Her Excellency has been seeking exceptionally talented youngsters to cultivate these past years..."

As he said this, the staff member glanced at Bai Yuan, his gaze carrying a deeper meaning.

Bai Yuan understood immediately.

The man was giving him a hint.

Leng Yaozhu taking him as a disciple was not merely a matter of master-disciple ties. He was also an important piece the Leng Family had placed in its power struggle within the Spirit Pagoda.

Seeing that Bai Yuan remained composed, neither flustered nor asking needless questions, the staff member secretly nodded. This child was quite steady.

"Spirit Pagoda headquarters was first built ten thousand years ago. It was originally located in Shrek City, but after numerous renovations and expansions, it now stands eighty-one stories tall and is recognized as the most magnificent building on the Douluo Continent.

"Each floor serves a different function. Some are Soul Spirit storage areas, some are research and development centers, while others are offices for the council's upper ranks.

"And the floor where Her Excellency Heavenly Phoenix resides..."

Before he could finish, the elevator gave a crisp chime, and its doors slowly opened.

Bai Yuan stepped out, his pupils widening slightly.

How was this a floor inside a tower? It was clearly an aerial palace floating amidst the clouds.

The entire floor was exceptionally vast, with a ceiling over ten meters high. It was paved with some kind of pale yellow Soul Guidance Crystal that emitted a gentle, non-glaring radiance, making the place as bright as day without a single lamp in sight.

The floor was laid with dark, unknown stone polished until it gleamed like a mirror.

The walls on all sides were inlaid with entire Soul Guidance walls, displaying slowly shifting images of mountains, rivers, stars, and skies in a dreamlike illusion.

A faint fragrance lingered in the air, soothing the mind.

Exquisite works of art stood along both sides of the corridor every few steps.

Some were sculptures of ancient Soul Masters, some were rare Soul Beast specimens sealed in crystal, and some even emitted fluctuations of Soul Power.

Even the words "utterly luxurious" were not enough to describe the extravagance of this place.

The staff member led Bai Yuan down the corridor, introducing the area as they walked. "Young Master, Her Excellency's room is at the end opposite us.

"This way, please—"

He led Bai Yuan around a corner into another, slightly narrower corridor, stopped before a door, and pushed it open.

"Young Master, this is the room prepared for you."

Bai Yuan stepped inside, his gaze sweeping across the spacious, brightly lit living room, the tastefully arranged reception area, and the fully equipped Soul Guidance furniture. He nodded slightly.

The living room was enormous. Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows stood an entire wall of transparent Soul Guidance glass, offering a panoramic view of Eastsea City's nightscape.

Sofas, a tea table, bookshelves, a Soul Guidance Screen... everything that should have been there was there, and even things that should not have been there were there too.

"Not bad." Bai Yuan offered sincere praise.

The staff member smiled without speaking and led him toward the bedroom.

He pushed open the door—

Bai Yuan stood in the doorway, frozen in place.

The bedroom was a sea of yellow and purple.

Purple bed curtains, yellow bedposts;

Yellow patterns embroidered across the purple carpet, purple padded wall panels set beside yellow wall lamps.

Even the small lamp on the bedside table had a purple lampshade and a gilded yellow base.

Bai Yuan: "..."

When the staff member saw him say nothing, then looked at the yellow-and-purple color scheme filling the room, his heart skipped a beat.

This lord did not like it?

Come to think of it, several groups had stayed in this room before, and not one of them had failed to call it ugly.

If this floor had not been Heavenly Phoenix's domain, where no one dared make changes without authorization, this room would have been renovated long ago.

"Young Master, do you dislike these colors?" the staff member asked cautiously. "How about I change your room? I will arrange it right away."

"No need." Bai Yuan raised a hand and interrupted him.

The staff member was taken aback.

Bai Yuan strode into the bedroom, swept his gaze across the yellow-and-purple ocean, and then—

The corners of his mouth slowly curled upward.

"What is this?

"Why does this yellow-and-purple combination look better and better the more I see it?"

He walked to the bed, reached out to touch the yellow bedpost, then pinched the purple bed curtains. The more he looked, the more he liked them, until his eyes practically shone.

"It looks so good!"

The staff member stood at the door, utterly bewildered.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed the words back down.

This young master...

His taste truly was... unique.

Everyone who had come to this room before had thought the color scheme unbearably ugly, practically wanting to move out overnight.

After all, some thought purple and yellow together looked noble, while others thought it looked gaudy. Most found it harsh on the eyes, so this room had remained empty and had never been cleared out.

But this one was different. Judging by his reaction, he genuinely liked it?

The staff member fell silent for a moment and quietly stuck a label on Bai Yuan in his mind.

"Young Master's taste... is quite... unique."

Bai Yuan did not care what he was thinking. He was already wandering around the bedroom, touching this and patting that, the smile on his face impossible to suppress.

Yellow and purple.

Purple plus yellow.

This color scheme made him feel energized just looking at it. It felt so familiar and comforting.

Wasn't this Xiao Bai's favorite color scheme??

Perhaps Xiao Bai had influenced him, but the more Bai Yuan looked at yellow and purple, the more pleasing they became!

Now he was living in this yellow-and-purple room, and the first thing he would see every morning upon waking would be purple and yellow—

Wasn't this practically tailor-made for him?

The more Bai Yuan thought about it, the happier he became, nearly laughing aloud.

Seeing that he was quite satisfied, the staff member breathed a sigh of relief and tactfully said, "It is good that Young Master is satisfied.

"Please rest first. I shall take my leave. If you need anything, simply give the order."

"Alright. Thanks for your trouble."

Bai Yuan nodded and watched the staff member leave and close the door.

He turned around again, looked at the yellow and purple filling his vision, spread his arms, and took a deep breath.

Comfortable.

Too comfortable.

This was where he ought to live.

Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze, walked to the bed, and patted the soft pillow.

Then he lay down in satisfaction.

Yellow and purple.

Wonderful.
