I Have a Golden Crow

Chapter 964 - 623: Steps Away, Axes Apart

At the peak of all mountains, 10 kilometers directly west.Du Yu led the team, traversing through the dense forest. Just as they spotted the Jia Rong Grass, they heard the bleating of sheep.

"Baa!"

"Baa!" That was undoubtedly the sound of a warning, causing the Immortal Deer to slow their steps.

"The Black Fire Sheep Servants are really reliable, huh?" Li Mengnan sat side-saddle on Yiren, looking towards Du Yu.

"Yes." Du Yu nodded in agreement.

This kind of stubborn species, you give them a task, and they execute it to the death...

"Baa~~~" From the tall Jia Rong Grass, a giant black sheep emerged.

It stood a full four meters tall, with its pitch-black sheep head appearing extremely menacing.

"Black Sheep!" Li Mengnan immediately waved her hand, "Remember me?"

Unexpectedly, the Black Fire Sheep Servant completely ignored Li Mengnan and instead led several towering sheep servants step by step towards the deer herd.

Du Yu spoke, "Me."

"Baa?" Only then did Black Sheep stop, its dull horizontal pupils looking towards Du Yu, tilting its head.

"Such presence, it’s already at the General Peak level?" Li Mengnan lightly sighed in amazement.

Father Bai and Mother Bai exchanged a glance, understanding each other’s thoughts.

Indeed!

Under Du Yu’s Twin Trees, powerful demon beasts were indeed entrenched.

Father Bai and Mother Bai couldn’t help but worry, would their daughter taking over the territory of the Twin Trees irritate Du Yu?

Will this group of big black sheep bear a grudge against the Dust Spirit Deer clan?

Du Yu urged his deer forward, pressing his hand.

Black Sheep instantly landed on all fours, its spiral-shaped thick horns pointing straight ahead, with a sharp cold gleam, causing the deer herd to tremble with fear.

Bai Yujing, however, was unafraid, carrying its master onward.

"Very good, you’ve continued your cultivation without delay." Du Yu leaned over and stroked the head of the Black Fire Sheep Servant, "Since she likes calling you this, you’ll be called Black Sheep from now on."

"Baa~" Black Sheep responded softly.

"Well done, you’ve completed your task admirably." Du Yu patted the sheep’s horn, "Lead your clansmen back to your home—Black Sheep Ridge.

Continue to cultivate day and night, without any slack. Do you remember?"

"Baa!" The Black Fire Sheep Servant obligingly responded, deferentially to Du Yu.

As Black Sheep’s bleating echoed, the clansmen also stepped out from the Jia Rong Grass.

With their leader on all fours, of course, the clansmen didn’t dare stand up.

The pitch-black flock treaded with sheep hooves, brushing past the snow-white Immortal Deer.

The ferocious sheep heads and the beautiful deer heads looked at each other, as the black and white entwined, the scene unexpectedly had a strange beauty?

And as the black sheep passed Du Yu, they all bowed their heads, in a show of respect.

It was evident they had been well trained by Black Sheep.

The sheep servants knew who their leader was, and even more so who their master was.

"Let’s go." Du Yu looked towards the deer herd behind him.

In the eyes of the old clan leader couple, Du Yu saw deep gratitude.

He could sense it; Bai Yujing could even more so feel it.

Unlike the other clansmen, Bai Yujing was inwardly delighted, gently stepping forward with snow hooves: "Nai~"

Indeed, the master loves me the most!

Amid the relatively open mountain forest, Du Yu finally found the figure he sought: "Long time no see, Little Hemp Flower... uh, Little Twin!"

"Creak~ Creak~"

The twin trees, twisted like a hemp flower, suddenly bent into a curve.

It had a crooked body and a tilted head, its actions very vivid, as if it was "looking" at Du Yu.

From such an adorable posture, Du Yu seemed to read four big characters: "Yo~ Who’s this?"

"Hehe~" Li Mengnan covered her mouth, snickering. She never thought that the Twin Trees could be so cute.

After all, in Li Mengnan’s demon-taming career, every Twin Tree she encountered was solemn and sacred.

The revered Mother of the Demon Spirit Realm, controlling the order of a realm and blessing all beings, how could she have such a quirky personality?

As it turns out, small things are often very cute~

"You’ve grown a lot taller." Du Yu dismounted from the deer, coming next to the Twin Trees.

The little guy of the past now stood waist-high to Du Yu, and the twisted trunk had thickened significantly.

Du Yu reached out his hand, with water gathering in his palm.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain Demon Technique - Heroic Bronze - Cyan Wave!

He sprinkled the water gun like this, circling the Twin Trees, splashing some water on them.

"Shasha~"

The Twin Trees shook their branches, extremely happy.

Though the Mountain Realm was always shrouded in dark clouds, rain wasn’t very frequent. This watering Du Yu gave reached right to the heart of the Twin Trees.

"The black sheep must be quite boring, right?" Du Yu said while watering, "I’ve replaced them with a new team of guards, take a look."

Bai Yujing lowered its deer head, passing over Du Yu’s shoulder, its nose reaching the top of the Twin Trees.

Sniiff~

Spiritual Qi!

And it was of no attribute, pure Spiritual Qi!

Poke~

Two branches reached out, poking Bai Yujing’s nose.

Watching the tree and deer interact so intimately, Du Yu smiled as well, turning his head to the Dust Spirit Deer: "Come over here."

At this moment, the Immortal Deer, whether incredulous or joyously excited, had yet to regain their senses.

They certainly recognized the Twin Trees, but had never seen such a lively Divine Tree!

Really, Spiritual Qi that can be consumed?

That would be too joyful...

Seeing Father Bai and Mother Bai approach, Du Yu also lifted his hand.

The tall doe mimicked her daughter’s gesture, lowering her deer head, her chin resting in Du Yu’s palm.

Du Yu instructed, "This territory is all yours. In the future, you need to help me guard the Twin Trees, take good care of them for me."
