Start with a dragon egg and join the chat group

Light streamed through the roof of the dilapidated house. Inside, a little girl with blue hair, who looked about six or seven years old, was sitting.

She was dressed in pink and white, standing barefoot, with a piece of charcoal tied to her head. A pink bow was tied behind her, with two long ribbons hanging down her back.

She was staring at Lu Tianyu with wide, curious eyes.

"Brother Tianyu?" Binchotan looked at the boy in front of him with long silver-white hair, dragon horns on his head, and delicate features.

"It's me, hello Binchotan!" Lu Tianyu looked at the cautious Binchotan and smiled as he patted her little head.

It's soft and feels great. This carbon material is a bit rough on the hand; it doesn't feel as good as Kanna's dragon horns.

Feeling the warmth on her head and gently stroking her own hands, Binchotan smiled sweetly.

"Binchotan, here's a little gift for you." Lu Tianyu looked at the smiling Binchotan and took out a bag of spirit rice from his spatial ring, placing it in front of her.

Binchotan looked at the bag in front of him curiously and asked, "Brother Tenyu, what is this?"

"Open it and see, it's a gift for you. I bought it especially for you." Lu Tianyu smiled mysteriously.

Seeing this, Binchotan curiously stepped forward and opened the bag.

"It's rice!" Binchotan exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the glistening rice in the bag, each grain seemingly shimmering with light.

“Oh right, this is spirit rice. Binchotan, you’re usually malnourished, eat more of this, it will help your health.” Lu Tianyu said with a smile as he looked at the happy Binchotan.

"But...can I accept it...?" Binchotan Nanami asked.

“Of course, this was bought especially for Binchotan. Besides, you call me brother and you are my sister. We are family.” Lu Tianyu gently stroked Binchotan’s hair while smiling.

"Uh-huh."

Feeling Lu Tianyu's gentle words and caresses, Binchotan's little heart began to warm up.

"Thank you, Brother Tianyu," said Binchotan, tears welling in his eyes.

She hasn't had any family for a long time. Since her grandmother passed away, she has been living alone, strong and resilient.

After calming Binchotan down, Lu Tianyu looked up at Binchotan's house. The sun was already setting, and it was evening.

"Binchotan, you go and cook the rice first. I'm going out for a bit."

After saying that, Lu Tianyu put the bag of spirit rice in the corner where the binchotan charcoal was kept, and told her to cook the rice while he went out to do some chores.

“Okay, Tianyu-nii.” Binchotan nodded obediently.

I poured some rice out of the rice bag and went to prepare to cook.

Lu Tianyu walked out of the house, flew up, and looked at the house in front of him.

The roof had several large holes and numerous cracks. The walls were riddled with cracks, and the windows were broken and dilapidated. In particular, the load-bearing pillars were rotten.

Lu Tianyu wouldn't be surprised at all if the house collapsed.

But this was the house where Binchotan lived, her only home...

"Alright, let's get started!" Lu Tianyu smiled slightly.

Now that I'm here, how could I possibly let my little darling live in a house like this?

With a gentle wave of his hand, Lu Tianyu conjured a pile of refining materials and spirit wood on the ground.

He first told the binchotan cook inside the house, and then waved his hand.

The binchotan charcoal used for cooking inside the house—just after Lu Tianyu told her, the next second she saw her roof fly off, followed by flames like starlight burning on the house.

But it won't burn you at all, and it'll even keep you warm.

what is this?

.....

.....

Lu Tianyu watched with satisfaction as the rooftop flew away, and then he saw Binchotan cooking inside.

He smiled and waved to her. Lu Tianyu then controlled the Star Flame to begin repairing the binchotan charcoal house.

First, all the top-grade refining materials on the ground were melted and then incorporated into the binchotan house. The binchotan house began to change visibly.

The cracked walls slowly turned pristine white, becoming brand new. The rotten pillars were replaced with refined spirit wood. The old, broken windows were replaced with gleaming white frames and new glass. The old, black wooden planks on the floor began to fill with fragrance as they were replaced with black and white planks.

In the corner, the little figure from the binchotan charcoal drawing also appeared intact on the brand new wall.

Lu Tianyu looked at the brand-new house, then put the already refined glazed roof back on, connecting it with the other half of the great formation inside the house, and then refined the whole structure again.

That's right, Lu Tianyu transformed the Binchotan house into a magical artifact. He imbued the small figure drawn by the powerful Binchotan with spirituality, making it the core of the Binchotan house.

After the refining was completed, Lu Tianyu looked at the brand-new, three-story house in front of him, with a clean white exterior, and nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of him, it was crafted using the same materials and formations as Sky City.

Afterwards, Lu Tianyu walked closer to the house with satisfaction, and looking at Binchotan who was touching the brand-new house with a look of surprise, he smiled and said, "So, Binchotan, do you like your new home?"

"Is this for me?" Binchotan asked in surprise, pointing to himself with his small hand.

"Yes. It's for binchotan charcoal." Lu Tianyu replied with a gentle smile.

"Thank you, Brother Tianyu!" Binchotan looked at Lu Tianyu and thanked him through tears.

Lu Tianyu stepped forward and gently patted the head of the cute, pitiful, yet strong child: "Don't cry, Binchotan. From now on, I and everyone in the group will be with you. We are all family."

"Yes, yes!" Binchotan tried hard to hold back his tears and nodded with a smile.

"Alright, let's go. Brother will take you to see the brand new house." Lu Tianyu smiled, took Binchotan's little hand, and walked towards the house.

As for the food, the formation will now cook it automatically, not to mention the spirit on the wall.

Lu Tianyu brought the binchotan charcoal to the place where the rice used to be stored. There, a brand new door appeared, connecting to an alternate dimension.

Binchotan followed Lu Tianyu as he opened the door and entered. In the pristine white space, 100,000 bags of spirit rice were poured out and floated in mid-air, like an ocean of rice.

These spirit rice, here, will become increasingly effective after being refined by the spiritual energy gathered by the house's formation and by the spirit stones and life crystal mountain that Lu Tianyu placed in this space.

Behind the sea of ​​spiritual rice, a tall tree of life stands.

Beneath the Tree of Life, a lake composed entirely of the Fountain of Life glows faintly.

Along the lake, rows of fruit trees and various spiritual-grade vegetables grow in abundance.

In the sky, a small sun shines upon the world.

This is a small sun, containing a true solar fire, which serves as the energy core for both the sun and the house.

"Wow!"

Binchotan stared in astonishment at the scene before her; she had never imagined her house would contain such a place. A sea of ​​spirit rice floated in the sky, and in the distance, there were many vegetables and fruit trees laden with fruit.

Binchotan took a deep breath, absorbing the spiritual energy and life force overflowing in the space. Her pale, malnourished face began to turn rosy.

Chapter 138 Reimu Tenyu: Where's My Rice?

Binchotan felt the air was filled with a pleasant scent, and some gases seemed to be seeping into her body. She felt her previously weak and powerless body begin to grow stronger.

On her small hands, the calluses from years of hard work began to peel away, revealing her fair and tender palms. Her little feet, which had never worn shoes, also shed a layer of calluses, becoming fair and tender.

"Brother Tianyu, what is this?" Binchotan asked.

"This is the binchotan warehouse. Those flying things in the sky are the spirit rice your brother gave you, 100,000 bags of them, all here. They're connected to a box above, so binchotan can get the rice whenever he needs to cook. That big tree in the distance is the Tree of Life. In a while, some little spirits will be born on it to help you take care of the Tree of Life and the vegetables and orchard below." Lu Tianyu smiled and pointed to the lake, continuing, "That's the Spring of Life. Binchotan, drink more of that; it can improve your cultivation aptitude and increase your lifespan. That little sun in the sky is the core of the house, but it has already recognized you as its master."

Binchotan listened to Lu Tianyu's explanation in a daze. Although she didn't understand most of it, she knew that these things were very precious. Moreover, there was an ocean of rice. She used to dream of oceans of rice often, and she never expected that Brother Tianyu would actually fulfill her wish.

"Thank you, Brother Tianyu!" Binchotan said, moved.

"It's alright, I'm your older brother." Lu Tianyu smiled, took her little hand, and turned to walk out: "Let's go, Binchotan. You can watch it for as long as you want. There are still many places we haven't seen yet."

And so, Lu Tianyu, accompanied by Binchotan, inspected the entire house.

A brand new bed, a private swimming pool, a tap that runs water instantly, a light-up ceiling that's clearly visible even at night—just like the town's streetlights, though Brother Tianyu says it's controlled by an array. There's also a brand new kitchen, a private meat storage area... and so on.

After showing Binchotan around the house, Lu Tianyu and Binchotan went to the living room on the first floor.

Lu Tianyu brought out the rice that had been cooked using the array, along with various dishes from his spatial ring. He and the binchotan charcoal beside him ate slowly.

While eating binchotan charcoal, he sat in a soft chair, tasting something he had never eaten before. He looked around at the brightly lit house, the brand-new, unbroken bowls, and the jade-like chopsticks.

Most importantly, she was no longer eating alone; a family member was now eating with her.

Binchotan felt like he must be dreaming; it was so unreal!

If this is a dream... Dear God... please let me dream a little longer!

After slowly finishing their meal, the array automatically collected the bowls, cleaned them thoroughly, and placed them in the cupboard.

Lu Tianyu looked at Binchotan, who was still looking completely bewildered, and smiled slightly.

It seems this little cutie still thinks she's dreaming.

"Binchotan, let's go. It's time to go to sleep," Lu Tianyu said, patting the still dazed Binchotan.

"Okay...okay, Tianyu-nii-gege." Binchotan stood up blankly and followed Lu Tianyu, swaying unsteadily.

That dazed look is so adorable!

Afterwards, Lu Tianyu brought the binchotan charcoal back to her room and covered her with a brand new quilt.

"Good night, prepare some charcoal." Lu Tianyu said with a smile.

"Goodnight, Tianyu-gege," Binchotan replied.

After saying that, Lu Tianyu turned around and walked out, and the room lights turned off automatically.

Binchotan lay on the soft bed, covered with a soft, floral-scented quilt, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

A faint smile was on his face.

.....

.....

Outside the room, Lu Tianyu sensed that Binchotan had already fallen asleep and smiled.

Then, I opened the chat group.

"I met a Taoist priest! I'm about to become a fox spirit!" Tu Shan Susu

While Lu Tianyu was taking care of Binchotan, Tushan Susu successfully escaped from Tushan and, just like in the original story, met Bai Yuechu at a blind date.

After Bai Yuechu dealt with the two large foxes that came to capture her, she successfully bribed Bai Yuechu with two dozen colorful sticks.
