Chapter 374: Red Thorn’s Underwater Domain When Red Thorn was showing its superiority, Lin Yuan had to constantly give encouragement and acknowledgment. This would allow Red Thorn to have more drive when learning how to talk in the future. Hearing Lin Yuan’s praises, Red Thorn’s 12 large flowers extended from 1 meter to 1.2 meter due to its joy. As Lin Yuan sensed Red Thorn’s happy emotions, he said, “Red Thorn, learn how to read from me, okay? “If you learn how to read, you will be able to converse with me like how Genius converses with me.” Red Thorn’s 12 large flowers actually shivered for a moment. This was obviously Red Thorn using its own methods to show that it had accepted Lin Yuan’s proposal and was rather interested. Lin Yuan praised Red Thorn again. When Red Thorn showed its willingness to learn, it was important to give timely acknowledgment. At that moment, Genius jumped out from Lin Yuan’s embrace onto one of the large flowers and said, “Red Thorn, I can teach you how to read every day too.” Red Thorn and Genius had an extremely great relationship. When Red Thorn heard Genius’ statement, it turned its body and used the massive flower to play with Genius. Morbius suddenly spoke in Lin Yuan’s mind. “Yuan, the spirit qi crystal is ineffective toward Red Thorn. If Red Thorn can grow well, then we will be able to explore the sea region, obtaining some rare resources from the sea.” Lin Yuan could feel that Red Thorn already had the strength of a Silver/Fantasy fey. He said, “I have to experiment if Red Thorn’s ramets are able to survive underwater. If they can survive, it is possible to explore the shallow sea region.” Subsequently, Lin Yuan carried Genius off the massive flower and placed it on the sofa before saying, “Genius, wait here for me. Once I return, I will bring you upstairs to sleep.” Genius let out a meow and used its little head to rub on Lin Yuan’s hand. Lin Yuan used his hand to knead on Genius’ head before he withdrew Red Thorn back into the Diamond grade fey storage box. After exiting the mansion, Lin Yuan walked toward the man-made lake within the mansion garden. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 As he was walking toward the man-made lake, he took a small piece of completely jade-textured wood out of the Diamond grade fey storage box. The completely jade-textured wood was emitting a gentle glow on Lin Yuan’s hand. It immediately illuminated everything within three meters from Lin Yuan. The glow was very gentle and made it very comfortable. As the light emitted from the completely jade-textured wood blended with the bright moonlight, it gave the early winter’s moonlight a refreshing feeling. The mansion’s man-made lake was five meters in depth. Wen Yu nurtured plenty of decorative aquatic feys on the surface of the man-made lake. Schools of fish in various colors were all swimming around in the man-made lake. Lin Yuan walked in front of the man-made lake and summoned Red Thorn by the shore of the lake. He then asked Red Thorn to enter the water using its own conditions. Lin Yuan might be able to sense Red Thorn’s mutation, which gave Red Thorn the capability to breathe underwater, but Red Thorn had yet to complete its mutation. Therefore, Lin Yuan was truly afraid that Red Thorn might not be able to adapt to the man-made lake, which was five meters deep. This was also Red Thorn’s first time encountering water. Perhaps after eating underwater dimensional lifeforms’ flesh and blood, Red Thorn wasn’t afraid of water. Therefore, it immediately leaped into the five-meter deep man-made lake. Lin Yuan watched nervously as Red Thorn sank to the bottom of the lake. Immediately after, Lin Yuan noticed that Red Thorn’s 12 large flowers were completely opened up at the bottom of the lake. The gill-like petals were swaying, allowing Red Thorn to have a relaxed time within the water. Lin Yuan’s clothes were already completely drenched due to the splashes made when Red Thorn jumped into the man-made lake. Therefore, he simply jumped into the lake and dove down to the bottom. He then used his thoughts to converse with Red Thorn, asking Red Thorn to summon a few ramets. Be it the brutal vine ramet or the miniature spore cavity ramet, Red Thorn summoned a few of each. In the beginning, the brutal vine ramet twisted and turned uncomfortable in the water. After a period of time, even if Red Thorn transferred energy to the ramet, it was still far inferior in movements as compared to when it was on land. As for the miniature spore cavity ramet, it lost its ability to release spores after a short period. It was obvious that Red Thorn’s capability to breathe underwater didn’t get inherited by the ramets. At present, it seemed like Red Thorn was able to live casually underwater, but the man-made lake was only five meters in depth. Lin Yuan was unable to test the depth limit of Red Thorn’s underwater survival. However, if Red Thorn could consume large quantities of flesh and blood from Gold underwater dimensional lifeforms when those 12 large flowers turned their stamen into gill-like organs, Red Thorn’s underwater breathing capability would have a complete mutation. By then, Lin Yuan reckoned that the brutal vine ramets and the spore cavity ramets should have inherited the underwater breathing from Red Thorn. As such, the top priority now was for Lin Yuan to obtain more flesh and blood from Gold underwater dimensional lifeforms. When Lin Yuan swam out of the man-made lake, he withdrew Red Thorn into the leaf-shaped fey storage box from the bottom of the lake while it was still having a good time. He then asked Red Thorn to continue consuming dimensional lifeforms’ flesh and blood to increase its grade and quality. Lin Yuan then swung off the excess water from his body and walked into the mansion. At this moment, the Royal Capital’s temperature was already below zero. But due to the heat emitted from Lin Yuan’s body, his drenched clothes didn’t turn into ice from the winds of the early winter. However, when the cold wind blew across, it still quickly took away Lin Yuan’s body heat, allowing Lin Yuan to feel a strong but refreshing chill. It was fortunate that he had used the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar to cleanse his body’s impurities and enhanced his genetic model. Therefore, Lin Yuan’s resistance level was extremely high. Coupled with the fact that Lin Yuan was already a C-rank spirit qi professional, sickness like fever and cold had already been left behind by Lin Yuan. After returning to the mansion, Lin Yuan noticed that Genius was already sleeping on the sofa. While Genius was sleeping on the sofa, its small head was still facing the direction of the entrance. It was obvious that it had been waiting for Lin Yuan to return. However, as Genius had been waiting, it gradually entered its dreamland. Lin Yuan looked at his drenched clothes and felt the warmth from his hands. He used his mouth to blow a few puffs of breath and noticed his hands were still rather cold. Lin Yuan was afraid that he might shock Genius when he carried it with his cold hands. Thus, he returned to his room first to have a warm shower. After changing to a set of clean clothes, Lin Yuan returned downstairs softly to carry Genius back to his room. Lin Yuan then carefully covered Genius with a small blanket after placing it on the bed. Subsequently, Lin Yuan logged on Star Web.
