Chapter 989: Chapter 635: The Golden Crow Returns Home

Du Yu stepped back, until he fell into a void.

One moment he was in a beautiful bamboo forest, the next he arrived in a spacious bathroom.

With a bamboo basket on his back, Du Yu looked at the large bathtub in front of him, feeling quite odd.

It felt as if he was resurrecting from a "spring"~

"Splash~"

From the ceiling of the bathroom, a few golden leaves and stalks extended down. Since Du Yu last appeared in the bathroom, the territory of the Golden Leaf had expanded to here.

Sure enough, it had awaited its master’s return and greeted him at once.

"Here." Du Yu took off the bamboo basket and handed it to the golden stalks.

He looked at the large bathtub in front of him, with only four words in his head:

Since I’m here.

Du Yu took off his clothes and threw them all to the Golden Leaf: "Oh, there’s a phone card in the pocket. Keep it safe for me."

At his words, the Golden Leaf seemed to remember something as well.

While Du Yu was running the hot water, a few leaves held a square box and handed it to him.

"Already here?" Du Yu was stunned for a moment, looking at the phone box in front of him.

He had placed the order yesterday afternoon and had the newly purchased phone sent directly home.

Ever since Li Mengnan mentioned the satellite phone, Du Yu had been paying special attention after returning to Bamboo Grove.

Such phones are quite expensive, tens of thousands are not unheard of.

So, Du Yu paid out of his own pocket, without asking his big brother to buy it for him.

Du Yu had some spare money, hmm... his card probably had about a hundred thousand.

Plus, he had already repaid the "Youth Teacher Loan," so he wasn’t under much financial pressure and didn’t want to rely on others.

Du Yu casually pulled a leaf: "Sharper."

The Golden Leaf immediately hardened, turned into a small blade, which Du Yu picked up and used to cut open the package.

From the front, the satellite phone looked no different from an ordinary phone, but from the side, it was totally exposed.

There was a folded, black, and thick antenna hidden on the back side of the phone.

And the phone was as thick as a small brick.

Could it be used to hit people?

The phone registration process was still a bit complicated; Du Yu fiddled with it for quite a while.

Once everything was settled, Du Yu immediately downloaded the Demon Spirit Atlas and retrieved photos from storage space.

The lock screen was still the Celestial Cyan Porcelain under the Shatang Tree.

The desktop background was also the Shatang Tree, but now replaced with a group of Little Dragon Carps and the ethereal shadow among them.

Yes, that’s the feel!

Du Yu, satisfied, placed the phone aside, and sank his relaxed body into the bathtub.

A couple of weeks of training and advancement had left Du Yu quite tired.

But the spring, true to its name, was indeed refreshing!

At 9 a.m., Du Yu was fully revitalized!

He changed into a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, carried a basket of Fire Pomegranate Fruits, and flashed into the Mountain Realm.

"Nai~"

Bai Yujing let out a deer call, catching up to Du Yu in free fall, and hurriedly swerved him onto its back.

"Jia Rong, where is Master Qing?" Du Yu rode the deer, descending from the Peak of All Mountains, holding a Deep Red Grass leaf.

Jia Rong Grass: "Still by the Twin Trees, where you advanced before."

"Okay." Du Yu patted the Immortal Deer’s back, "Let’s go, Xiaobai, let’s bring Master Qing... Little Fen Yang some fruit to eat!"

"Nai~~~" Bai Yujing’s Snow Hoof quickly stepped, jumping high off the cliff, flying straight west.

It was a mere ten-kilometer journey, reaching almost in an instant.

When Du Yu arrived, he found Master Qing surprisingly not meditating?

She was standing by the Twin Trees, looking far into the mountain forest, watching two disciples train their Demon Pets.

"Master Qing."

"Hmm?" Yang Qingqing turned slightly, looking up.

The slight worry between her brows was gone.

Seeing this, Du Yu felt a surge of emotion!

Could it be...

"Master Qing." Bai Yujing landed steadily, Du Yu dismounted, patting the deer’s belly.

Xiaobai happily bounced away, running to find its parents.

Du Yu, carrying a bamboo basket, looked inquisitive, stepping towards the Immortal Master.

"Heh." Yang Qingqing’s face showed a faint smile, knowing she couldn’t hide some things from her disciple, she gently nodded.

Du Yu was overjoyed: "Is it as I thought?"

Yang Qingqing: "Yes, only the Rose Emperor Spirit has regressed to become the Rose General Spirit, back to the Peak of Demon General stage."

Du Yu promptly said: "Strength and such can be cultivated again! Just being alive, living means hope!"

"Indeed." Yang Qingqing nodded in agreement, then changed the topic, "Burning Sun helped us a lot."

The residual Demon Soul only gave the Demon Beast and Demon Tamer a longing.

As for when the Demon Soul can reshape its physical form, it could be 2 or 3 months at the shortest, or several years, with no exact time.

These are the good outcomes.

The greater possibility is that the remaining Demon Soul gradually fades into despair.

Yet, Little Fen Yang had resided within Master Qing for less than a month!

The residual Demon Soul of the Rose Emperor Spirit had actually reshaped and revived!

Yang Qingqing continued: "The remaining Demon Soul expends a lot of time and energy to preserve itself, ensuring it doesn’t scatter.

The existence of Burning Sun relieved Rose from these worries.

Over these days, as you and the others advanced, it greatly benefited Rose."

"Hee hee~ Am I awesome?" A cute face appeared on Qingqing’s, suddenly.

"Awesome!" Du Yu nodded heavily, reaching out his hands to Little Fen Yang, "Going home?"

Little Fen Yang blinked its big orange eyes: "I live in Little Aunt Qingqing’s body, it’s so comfy!

The meridians here are so spacious, like a big river! Du Yu’s is just a small stream, so narrow~"

Hearing this, Du Yu couldn’t help but feel bitter.

He had just become a "Yu General" a few days ago, what qualification does he have to compare with Emperor Qing?

Du Yu paused for a moment, saying: "I... I’ve also become a Demon Taming General, a bit stronger."

"Hee hee~" Little Fen Yang floated in front of Du Yu, tilting its head, looking at Du Yu adorably, "So eager for me to come back?"

Du Yu nodded: "Yes."

With a proud little demeanor, Little Fen Yang raised its small head, yet couldn’t hide its happy smile: "Alright then!

Lord Golden Crow will take pity on silly Du Yu and go with you~"

"Hehe." Du Yu was also amused by her charming little demeanor, "Grateful for Lord Golden Crow’s blessings?

By the way, this time the exam location is at the Bottomless Pit, we can go peel tree bark again."

Regarding her favorite topic, Little Fen Yang didn’t respond this time.

She quietly looked at Du Yu, her little face suddenly drawing close, her big eyes intently staring into Du Yu’s eyes.

Du Yu instinctively leaned back, then immediately stopped.

After a moment, Little Fen Yang leaned forward, using her ethereal forehead to bump Du Yu’s forehead: "Stinky Du Yu, I missed you."

"Hu~"

Just as her slightly complaining words fell, Little Fen Yang disappeared without a trace, retreating back into Yang Qingqing’s body.

Master Qing closed her eyes, seemingly communicating with the Golden Crow Saint about something.

Du Yu patiently waited, and after a few minutes, he saw the woman’s brows lightly furrow, and her body trembled slightly.

Then, a Demon Soul surged out of Emperor Qing’s body, like a homing swallow, rushing into Du Yu’s embrace.

In that little hand, there was also a thread, gently imprinting on Du Yu’s forehead.

"Heh..." Du Yu widened his eyes slightly, drawing a breath of cool air.

The Supreme Demon Soul entered his body, and a surging energy erupted.

His eyes gradually became bright, captivating all who saw them!

It was back.

Everything was back.

Once again, he saw this world clearly and distinctly.

Du Yu blinked his eyes, looking forward at Master Qing, counting the faint palm lines in her hand.

"Master Qing?" Du Yu stepped forward, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine." Yang Qingqing’s pained expression gradually returned to normal, "The Rose General Spirit asked me to thank you for everything you’ve done for it."

Du Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "I didn’t do anything."

Yang Qingqing: "It was a blessing in disguise for it."

"How so?"

"Over the past month of rebuilding its body, Burning Sun has been secretly working hard and took the opportunity to awaken the Rose General Spirit’s ancient bloodline."

"Hmph~" In Du Yu’s mind, Little Fen Yang’s voice echoed, "I’m amazing!"

Du Yu: "Little Fen Yang is the best! Praise the Golden Crow!"

"Du Yu Du Yu~ What’s that on your back?"

"Oh." Du Yu took off the bamboo basket from his back, "These are Fire Pomegranate Fruits, I brought them for Master Qing to eat... I mean, I brought them for Little Fen Yang to eat... Eh?"

As he spoke, Du Yu froze.

No, wait!

Little Fen Yang has already returned.

The Fire Pomegranate Fruits that I specially asked for, wouldn’t they end up being for myself?

This?

Yang Qingqing looked at Du Yu’s stiff face, combined with the words from her disciple...

Smart as she was, a hint of amusement appeared in her eyes, and she softly said, "Eat."

"Ah." Coming back to his senses, Du Yu looked at the red Fire Pomegranates in the basket, then looked up at Master Qing.

"Wow! Fire Pomegranate Fruits, it’s been so long since I had them!" Little Fen Yang was so happy, she flew up.

She floated out of Du Yu’s body, looking at the basket full of ten big pomegranates: "Eat, eat them all quickly~!"

Du Yu picked up a Fire Pomegranate, peeled the red pomegranate, revealing the tempting deep red seeds inside.

"Gulp." Du Yu’s Adam’s apple moved, his whole person seemed to freeze.

What do they mean by ’a person digs their own grave’?

From in front came Master Qing’s soft voice: "Eat."

"Mm... Mm." Du Yu opened his mouth and carefully swallowed a few seeds.

Little Fen Yang, looking like a little glutton: "Take a big bite! Good Du Yu~ Hurry, hurry, I’m drooling!"

Du Yu closed his eyes, took a big bite.

His mouth filled with plump seeds; as the thin skin was crushed by his tongue and upper palate, sweet juice exploded in his mouth.

"Mmm, delicious~" Little Fen Yang looked satisfied, eyes closed, savoring the tasty fruit.

Grinning, Du Yu found it so sweet he couldn’t open his eyes.

Holding half a pomegranate in one hand, he stretched out his other hand: "Master... Master Qing, it’s so sweet, would you like to try some?"

Yang Qingqing couldn’t help but look strange.

At least, when telling a lie, he knew to close his eyes.

Watching her disciple dig his own hole, a mischievous glint appeared in the woman’s eyes as she playfully teased him.

Unfortunately, Du Yu was too engrossed in the cloying sweetness to notice this scene.

"Du Yu Du Yu~" Little Fen Yang floated in front of Du Yu.

Du Yu squatted down, waving his hands in surrender: "Let me catch my breath, pause a bit before eating again."

Little Fen Yang thought for a moment: "Maple Syrup is bitter, how about mixing the two when you eat?"

Yang Qingqing: "..."

Du Yu: ???

Are you a devil?

But... there’s some logic to it?

Use magic to defeat magic!

Du Yu stood up: "Master Qing, where’s the maple syrup from earlier?"

"By the tree."

"Oh." Du Yu stepped over to it.

Watching her disciple’s figure, Yang Qingqing felt a bit reluctant and said, "Earlier, you said you needed to peel tree bark?"

Sure enough, Du Yu stopped, turned to look: "This time the test site is at Gourd Mountain, the same place we carried out that Spiritual Artifact mission a long time ago."

"Oh?" Yang Qingqing was a little surprised.

She pondered for a moment, reminding him: "Once inside, find the Jade Gourd Spirit and Divine Tree right away, make them be extra vigilant.

The Cold Tree holds a grudge against you like no other.

If it gets even the slightest chance, it will try to put you to death."

Du Yu’s face turned serious: "Understood, don’t worry Master Qing, I’ll be fully prepared."

Yang Qingqing nodded with satisfaction: "Pack up and take me to the Sea Realm."

"Alright." Du Yu walked towards the Twin Trees, gripping the long handle of the Fire Age Axe.

Wait!

A thought struck Du Yu, there was no need to be obsessed with peeling tree bark, right?

An axe,

isn’t it better suited for a tree?
