I Have a Golden Crow

Chapter 867 - 576: April in the World

By the time Du Yu finished handling everything and returned to the Ancient Pine Tower, it was already mid-April.On this day, the spring breeze was gentle and the sun was bright.

Du Yu basked in it, only feeling completely relaxed in body and mind, warm all over.

It was like a reward from the heavens, as for almost half a month, his tasks had been relentless, plus reporting to the office was truly tiring.

"Drive slowly, senior brother." In front of the apartment building, Du Yu shouted to the black car slowly leaving.

From the backseat window, Li Mengnan stuck her head out: "Du Yu, remember to take my call, let’s go plant peach trees together!"

Du Yu nodded with a smile: "Definitely."

"Hehe~" Li Mengnan showed a sweet smile, waving repeatedly.

With his excellent vision, Du Yu clearly saw that fair hand.

In terms of appearance, Brother Mengnan really was no worse than anyone else.

Those slender jade hands could be described as having icy skin and jade bones, beautiful beyond measure... hmm, just like Du Yu’s mood.

Only when the car disappeared around the corner did Du Yu turn around to enter the building, heading straight for the 16th floor.

Honestly, thanks to the Golden Leaf being a Demonic Plant, if it were ordinary flowers left alone, they might have withered long ago.

Standing before his home, Du Yu rarely used a key, inserting it into the lock.

However, with a gentle tug, the door didn’t open.

Du Yu sensed something, noticing leaves piled behind the door, as if holding the doorknob?

"Knock knock~ knock~" With no other choice, Du Yu knocked on the door, "It’s me, Du Yu."

"Click."

The door opened, and a pile of golden leaves spilled out.

"Whoa~!" Du Yu gasped softly, then was submerged in a sea of golden leaves.

Deep within it, Du Yu grabbed a leaf, finding it as big as his palm!

"You advanced?" Du Yu exclaimed with joy.

As the leaves rolled and dispersed, Du Yu found himself in the living room.

Looking up, the ceiling was covered with beautiful, breathtaking golden leaves.

Each leaf was brilliantly colored, glossy and smooth, with a rich Demon Breath wafting down softly.

Both ornamental and practical, simply perfect!

Spirit Level · Golden Leaf!

It had been mentioned long ago that Du Yu’s 16th-floor home had the same layout as Master Qing’s house.

Meaning, this multimillion-dollar large apartment had a living room alone over 200 square meters. And with this, the ceiling was completely covered with Golden Leaves...

It was truly magnificent!

Du Yu looked around, surrounded by golden leaves, leaving him mesmerized.

A bit... hmm, a bit dazzling.

The advanced Spirit Level Golden Leaves seemed capable of emitting a faint golden glow on their own?

"Can you dim your brightness a bit?" Du Yu asked.

The Golden Leaf responded promptly, and the golden leaves quickly dimmed to a dark gold hue.

In an instant, Du Yu transitioned from spring into autumn...

"Goodness~" Du Yu scratched his head.

Now, there’s no need to even turn on the lights; just let the Golden Leaves brighten or dim.

Even save on electricity bills~

"Congratulations, Xiaoye." Du Yu smiled as he raised his hand.

Above, a leaf stem slowly extended down, and a palm-sized leaf landed in Du Yu’s hand, brushing gently against it.

"We’ll talk later, I’ll go take a bath first." Du Yu held the "smart home" in his hand, casually kicked off his shoes, and headed straight for the bedroom.

Question: How to recover with full energy?

Answer: Bubble bath.

Now that the tasks were finally over, Du Yu, full of a sense of accomplishment, deemed himself worthy of such a reward.

Too bad the "Deer Fur Blanket" couldn’t be used, it was too large.

Similarly, with the "Chi Bear Pillow’s" size, it couldn’t fit into the bathtub.

From the once three-piece bathing set, only the "Fox Bath Towel" remained a suitable size.

"Ah~" Du Yu laid in the bathtub, sighing deeply.

"Eep~" Xiaoyan lay on Du Yu’s chest, curiously looking at him, with three fiery red fox tails extending behind her, playing with the water.

Another fox tail lay next to Du Yu’s hand, letting him gently knead it.

Sharing a fox tail with Du Yu and letting him play with it had become second nature for Hu Xiaoyan.

Du Yu didn’t reject Prince Yan’s goodwill, but his thoughts drifted far away.

The Black Python Robe was sent to the Mountain Realm, watched over by the Jia Rong Grass to replenish energy.

The Celestial Cyan Porcelain was also sent back to the Cold Lake, and before parting, the people of the Cyan Sect and the Celestial Cyan Porcelain had a grilled fish feast.

But given the Celestial Cyan Porcelain’s size, those small Cold Lake fish weren’t enough to fill a gap between its teeth.

After parting with the Celestial Cyan Porcelain, Du Yu and others reported to Master Qing, then were called back to headquarters and left the Black Python Robe in the Jia Rong Grass per Director Yang’s orders.

Regarding the reporting and other tasks, they were dull and cumbersome, distressing Du Yu.

Moreover, during this time, what troubled Du Yu more was that enchanting figure of Flower Dan.

Du Yu could never forget the congratulatory look in her eyes when she left.

Bitter, self-mocking.

Like attending an ex-girlfriend’s wedding!

As for a pair of wolf eyes, they should’ve been sharp and fierce.

But Miss Flower Dan’s wolf eyes looked at Du Yu and made him emo.

Why do they still call you Flower Dan?

You should be called Hua Yimou from now on...

Honestly, Du Yu wanted to help her, at least try, even if the chances of success were slim to none.

But he was truly afraid, afraid of failure.

Hmm... better think it over, at least wait until he advanced to Demon Taming General and had another Acupoint Home before considering it.

"What are you thinking about?" Suddenly, a gentle, charming voice resonated in Du Yu’s mind.

Startled, Du Yu came back to his senses.

At some point, Prince Yan’s claws were already resting on Du Yu’s shoulders.

She lowered her fox head, her golden-brown fox eyes filled with doubt as she looked at Du Yu.

"Think again... uh, think." Du Yu scratched his head, his expression odd, why did he suddenly feel caught red-handed?

Damn, what the hell!

This demon pet I’m taming actually gives off the vibe of a heartbreaker?

That’s not right!

I’m a Demon Tamer, I’m the master here!

Du Yu decisively pinched the wet fox tail: "Don’t talk, you can only go ’ying ying’.

"Ying!" Xiaoyan nuzzled against Du Yu’s cheek before lying down.

"What do you want for lunch?" Du Yu pinched the wet fox towel, and casually wiped his face, "How about a big bone?"

"Ying." Prince Yan responded softly, activating the Fire Demon Breath to dry a fox tail, and handed it in front of Du Yu.

"Haha, hit the nail on the head, huh?" Du Yu smiled as he took the other "fox towel," wiping his face, "Right.

Since we have some free time now and haven’t leveled up yet, let’s find a time to climb the rankings for this quarter?"

It’s only mid-April now, normally, one would only push for rankings at the end of June.

But this time, Du Yu’s situation was special, he was very confident that he could advance to a Demon Taming General before the end of the second quarter.

The tasks he had been performing during this time also reminded him.

If something unexpected happens and the task duration is too long, then he might miss out on the rankings.

Anyway, the level of my demon pet is enough, whether early or late, the result will be the same.

Du Yu was quite looking forward to this opportunity.

Because his Youth Teacher Loan had been completely repaid!

This last bit of earnings from the book house belonged entirely to Du Yu himself.

"Ying~" Hu Xiaoyan agreed readily.

In fact, she was very willing to participate in the rankings, partly because achieving a good result would make Du Yu happy, and on the other hand...

Hu Xiaoyan enjoyed beating that Xi Gou.

Knocking those presumptuous, high-and-mighty assholes to the ground, making them kneel in front of her!

Heh heh,

that feeling is just too wonderful~

Du Yu rubbed the fox head with one hand: "That way, we’ll make our first bucket of gold. However, your Sister Mengnan probably can’t wait that long."

Hu Xiaoyan: "Ying?"

Du Yu: "It won’t be long before she sets up the Peach Blossom Realm, we need to think about what gift to give."

Speaking of Li Mengnan’s "housewarming" is not quite right, she’s setting up a realm and becoming the master of a world.

Choosing a gift for that is not easy.

As Du Yu pondered, he hugged the wet Prince Yan and got up, rinsing under the shower.

After drying off, Du Yu changed into his familiar gray shorts and shirt.

He went to the living room, flopped onto the sofa, picked up his phone, and ordered several portions of big bones for Xiaoyan, then an idea struck him.

How about gifting a good demonic plant?

This way it doesn’t involve money and can be exchanged with points.

Take a trip into the Bottomless Pit, earn some points, and let the Silent Extinction Grey Demon Flame have a feast, wouldn’t that be wonderful?

"Eh?" Du Yu looked down to see a fox tail lifting his arm.

"Ying~" The beautiful Demon Fox climbed up, comfortably curled in Du Yu’s arms.

"I was ordering meat for you, and you... uh." The fox tail blocked his mouth, making Du Yu feel stifled, and he rolled his eyes.

Meanwhile, in the Mountain Realm—Black Sheep Ridge.

Lin Shiwei was sitting atop the ridge, meditating with her eyes closed.

The mountain breeze gently blew by, carrying a rich Fire Demon Breath that lightly brushed over her body.

Not far behind the girl, the Black Fire Sheep Servant Leader was diligently training his troops.

To this day, the Sheep Servant Leader had not been officially named by Du Yu, and Lin Shiwei wasn’t sure if she should call it "Black Sheep"...

Suddenly, a deep red grass leaf landed on the girl’s shoulder.

As her thoughts transmitted, Lin Shiwei’s eyes snapped open!

She could hardly believe the message sent by the Jia Rong Grass.

The Ancient Spiritual Artifact·Black Python Robe was successfully reforged?!

Sure enough, being by the Demon Saint·Jia Rong Grass was more conducive to the rebirth of the Black Python Robe.

But that was far from enough.

Previously, Du Yu’s guess was undoubtedly correct; who could say for sure that over the centuries, the Black Python Robe hadn’t been secretly working?

Lin Shiwei reacted quickly, and when she turned her head, she indeed saw a black robe darting rapidly, full of imposing momentum!

"Hoo~"

With a fierce gust of wind, the black robe was instantly suspended!

Deep red Jia Rong Grass leaves threaded through the cuffs and collar, weaving back and forth.

The Black Python Robe was thus stretched open in mid-air; faintly, Lin Shiwei could still see signs of subtle struggle.

Jia Rong Grass: "This spiritual artifact is quite insidious, over a hundred pieces of tattered cloth were not pieced together one by one, but assembled completely in an instant.

It must have been premeditated!"

"Hmm." Lin Shiwei stood up, looking at the Black Python Robe, "We brought you out from the Desolate Mountain, back to the world outside.

We also provided you with the top cultivation environment to help you reshape your body.

Why would you attack me?"

"Hoo!" The Artifact Spirit of the Black Python Robe did not appear, only a surge of fierce wind, powerful and striking, blasted out.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Standing atop the mountain ridge, the girl took several steps back until she almost stepped into a gap.

Yet she did not fall below but was held steadily in the air, with wind coiling around her feet.

The chaotic flow was violently turbulent, swirling wildly around, but despite such a show of force, the Black Python Robe still could not break free from the restraints of the Jia Rong Grass.

Lin Shiwei shielded her face with one hand, her hair wildly disheveled.

Through her slender fingers, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "Heh, quite the temper."
