"Hoo~"

Bell Shadow flickered again, and the obedient-looking Du Yu appeared before the sofa, accompanied by the aura-filled General Lin.

Li Mengnan felt a bit uneasy and cautiously asked, "Third Sister, what’s going on?"

Lin Shiwei smiled apologetically, her brows softened considerably, "I just battled with the clan leader Shen Shen."

Li Mengnan blinked, "You personally went to fight?"

Du Yu whispered, "Your third sister is basically a human-shaped fierce beast. When I arrived, she was pinning the Yue Mountain Lion to the ground and beating it up... hmm."

Lin Shiwei casually picked up a grape and directly stuffed it into Du Yu’s mouth.

Under the watchful gaze of the girl’s dark eyes, Du Yu silently ate the grape, not daring to spit out the skin.

With a subtle smile on her face, Lin Shiwei said, "Let’s go."

"Mm-hmm," Du Yu immediately walked out.

Lin Shiwei followed, and as she moved, the Black Python Robe on her body quietly transformed.

Li Mengnan, who followed behind her, was visibly full of envy.

Only to see the pitch-black robe on Lin Shiwei gradually transforming into a black dress.

The long hem covered her calves, revealing her pale jade-like ankles, swaying by themselves without wind.

Noble, mysterious, full of presence.

With this piece of clothing, it’s equivalent to owning every style of garment!

The only drawback is that all clothes magically transformed by the Python Robe are black.

However, this perfectly suits Lin Shiwei’s taste.

Li Mengnan linked arms with Lin Shiwei, suggesting, "Third Sister could wear high heels! Pairing them with this black dress would be so elegant."

Lin Shiwei glanced at Du Yu walking ahead and quietly said, "Next time."

"Mm-hmm, later we can sit in the back seat and pick a few pairs while on the road." Li Mengnan was full of excitement.

Lin Shiwei felt somewhat helpless, as Silly Mengnan took the casual words seriously...

Du Yu fastened his baseball cap and slipped on his sneakers, grabbing the car keys, and walked out the door.

When they arrived at the elevator, the Golden Leaf had already called it, standing inside, pressing the button to keep the door open.

Du Yu: "I’ll be back later, Xiaoye."

"Shasha~"

"Don’t worry, I won’t go far this time. I’ll definitely be back tonight." Du Yu patted the golden leaf, "Go back and guard the house."

Watching the Golden Leaf leave, Lin Shiwei said, "Its courage has grown quite a bit."

Du Yu: "Still, it’s a Spirit Level, after all. Indeed, there’s some change. It used to be less clingy and preferred solitude."

Li Mengnan: "Liking to cling to people isn’t a bad thing; you’re blessed without knowing it."

"True," Du Yu nodded in agreement, "By the way, during breakfast at dawn, when I told you the story, I omitted some details."

"Hm?"

"What?" The two girls grew more serious, looking at Du Yu.

"After all, Master Qing was present, and I didn’t want to mention her sorrowful matters," Du Yu sighed slightly, "Master Qing’s Wind Trace Steed died in battle."

"Ah?" Li Mengnan was taken aback, "Died in battle?"

Du Yu nodded, "Its Demon Soul was even devoured."

Lin Shiwei’s face was complex as she asked, "Did any other Demon Pets encounter misfortune?"

Du Yu: "Most were severely injured, aside from the sacrificed Wind Trace Steed, the most miserable was the Rose Emperor Spirit, with only its Demon Soul remaining in Master Qing’s Acupoint Home."

Lin Shiwei gently sighed.

No wonder Master Qing, unlike usual, chose to go to Jia Rong Grass instead of cultivating in the Sea Realm - Shatang Mansion.

Du Yu consoled, "The Rose Emperor Spirit will reshape its body. Rest assured."

"Mm, hopefully," Li Mengnan said softly.

Not all Demon Souls can reform their bodies.

Leaving behind a Demon Soul only preserves hope, retaining a possibility.

Du Yu: "Didn’t we rescue a Sorrow Seabird before?"

Lin Shiwei was astute, "You want Master Qing to contract the Sorrow Seabird?"

"Yes." As the elevator doors opened, Du Yu stepped into the underground parking lot, "I brought it up with Elder Feng, who gave me some guidance."

Du Yu continued sharing as he got into the long-unused SUV.

Not bad, there’s still almost half a tank of gas.

The trio set off driving towards the North Suburb of the Ancient Pine Tower, repeatedly discussing matters of mounts along the way.

Considering all factors, the three unanimously decided to seek the Sorrow Seabird after completing their exam on August 1st.

Not too early because Master Qing might not be ready to accept; not too late because any Demon Pet joining halfway needs ample time and energy to forge emotional bonds.

This world seems peaceful on the surface, but huge crises lie beneath. They must prepare in time.

Upon reaching the Ancient Pine Tower North Suburbs·Twin Tree Realm Gate, the trio tactfully changed the topic.

"It’s been a long time since we’ve been here." Du Yu parked the car steadily and looked at the rearview mirror at the Otherworld Gate, "I’ll negotiate with the soldiers; you two wait in the car."

The two girls certainly knew how eye-catching they were, so they didn’t say anything.

Du Yu lowered the brim of his baseball cap, got out of the car, and jogged towards the Otherworld Gate.

Li Mengnan turned to look out the car’s rear window, observing the people bustling near the Otherworld Gate, "So many fresh faces."

Lin Shiwei: "This is the Newbie Realm after all; us three visiting here..."

"Like gods~" Li Mengnan muttered quietly.

"Hehe." Lin Shiwei chuckled.

Here, Li Mengnan truly seemed like a deity.

One slap could swipe away a group of kids~

Pure fish-blasting!

Li Mengnan sighed, "Time flies so fast. Back when I was camping under the Twin Trees with Du Yu in this area."

Lin Shiwei’s heart stirred. Wasn’t she the same?

That humble self years ago, too, was led by Du Yu to the home of the Dust Spirit Deer.

Bai Yujing, Bai Lu, and Yiren all originated from here. Regarding this Newbie Realm, the Yan Organization trio visited it most and stayed the longest.

"Hey, Du Yu is calling us." Li Mengnan put on her baseball cap and pushed open the car door.

As Lin Shiwei got out of the car, she already had a dark hood on her head.

Under the curious eyes of the Demon Tamers, the two moved swiftly, like the wind, darting into the Otherworld Gate and swiftly disappearing into the woods.

"Nai~"

"Nai!" From deep in the jungle, the sound of deer calls rang out.

The three Beautiful Immortal Deer greeted each other, Bai Lu and Yiren were even more over the top, their heads resting against each other, rubbing closely.

Without a shred of shame.

Bai Yujing had no one to rub against so it lowered its head, rubbing against Du Yu’s cheek...

"Feels familiar?" Du Yu embraced the snow-white deer head and said with a smile.

"Nai?" Bai Yujing lifted its head, surveying the surroundings.

Most mountain forests are similar, without seeing any distinctive terrain, it’s hard to feel familiar.

But Xiaobai was very smart, since its owner was asking this way, and Du Yu had once promised her to bring her home to meet mom and dad...

"Nai!" Bai Yujing happily squinted its eyes, lowered its head again, and extended its pink deer tongue to lick Du Yu’s face.

"Haha, let’s go~" Du Yu climbed onto the deer, feeling a sense of a triumphant return.

Bai Lu and Yiren, also realizing, under their owner’s reminder, where they were!

Immediately, the three Dust Spirit Deer started running towards the north, making their way.

"Slow down, slow down!" Li Mengnan said with a laugh, in the blink of an eye, they were under the Twin Trees.

The rookie camp under the trees, those tents, evoked memories for Du Yu and the others.

And one by one, the Demon Tamer Prentices and Demon Tamer Journeymen stood there dumbfounded, staring as the three snow-white deer shadows flashed by.

Even the speed of the General-level Dust Spirit Deer was too fast for people to see clearly.

Only the faint traces of Immortal Mist outlined the trajectory of the Dust Spirit Deer.

"Haha, Xiaobai! We’re here at the canyon again!" Du Yu shouted loudly, "Do you remember the first time you gathered your courage and jumped over the canyon?"

"Nai~~~" Bai Yujing led the way, its snow hoofs lightly stepping, soaring upward.

Bai Lu and Yiren called out, joining in harmony, leaping lightly.

"Nai!"

"Nai!!!" On the opposite side of the canyon, the sound of deer calls suddenly arose.

The originally beautiful sound was as if it exploded into chaos.

In the forest, white figures peered out, quietly observing.

And those three massive Dust Spirit Deer caused the Dust Spirit Deer herd to be in awe.

The characteristic of the Dust Spirit Deer applies to all living beings, even including their kind.

But the thing is, Bai Yujing and Bai Lu Yiren are not just their kind, they come from this herd.

"Nai!"

"Nai~" Bai Lu Yiren softly called out, as if calling for friends.

"Nai?" A tall doe stepped cautiously out of the forest.

In those deer eyes, there seemed to be a trace of confusion.

"Nai!" Bai Yujing joyfully bounced around, happily shaking her antlers.

Enchanted petals swayed gently, exuding a faint fragrance.

"Nai!" Another tall stag came out, staring blankly at Xiaobai.

This is... is this my daughter?

"Nai~~~" Bai Yujing carrying Du Yu, immediately rushed over.

In the past, when she was young, she used to cling to the legs of her mom and dad, quietly leaning on them, seeking a sense of full security.

But now, her size does not allow it.

The Dust Spirit Deer Race Leader couple is still at Spirit Level Peak, smaller in size than their daughter by several circles, much shorter in height.

"Nai." The tall doe looked up at her daughter, eyes full of excitement, gently calling.

"Nai~" Bai Yujing softly responded.

She closed her deer eyes, lowered her head, intimately rubbing against her mother’s cheek, "Mom, it’s been a long time.

I’ve come back.

I have great strength now, just as you hoped.

Over the years,

I’ve experienced many battles, suffered a few injuries, but none hurt too much.

Du Yu and I,

We met so many beautiful souls, heard so many stories, traveled to many distant places.

Deserts, grasslands, bamboo forests, snow-capped mountains, oceans..."

"Nai."

The tall doe gently asked, "Is he treating you well?"

"Nai~"

Bai Yujing softly replied, "He likes me, always loves me dearly."

Bai Yujing’s heart was full of happiness and joy, filled with bits and pieces of memories.

Suddenly, her Demon Breath inside her surged violently, rippling outward.

The Dust Spirit Deer herd was startled and fled in all directions.

Only the Race Leader couple stood their ground, gazing up at their tall and slender daughter, realizing what she was going through.

Du Yu initially was surprised, then his face was full of joy, Xiaobai was about to advance to Demon General·Minor Achievement Stage?

He reached out a hand, gently smoothing Bai Yujing’s snow-white fur.

"Nai~~~" Bai Yujing raised her deer head high.

The fragrance of flowers spread everywhere, dazzling.

That extremely beautiful deer call echoed through the canyon and forest, drifting far, far away...

...
