I Have a Golden Crow

Kui Chou barked harshly, "What kind of random crap is that, talk properly to your daddy!"

As for Kui Chou’s words and attitude, Empress Huangtu neither got angry nor annoyed; her state of mind was extremely calm.

She slowly turned her head to look into the distance, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

This realm is cut off from the mortal world, far away from the human world—where would a so‑called domain of mine come from?

Only when he is here,

only then does my domain exist.

Speaking of which, there is indeed another Mud Po Goddess Sculpture in this realm; this clansman long ago dropped to both knees, worshiping Huangtu as a Divine.

But Jiang Feng’s Mud Po Goddess Sculpture, its energy is far, far too small.

Even if that Mud Po Goddess Sculpture is at Demon Emperor Level, even if its battle merits are illustrious, it is still far from enough.

First, this Mud Po has no method to borrow, and second...

A single tree can’t support the weight!

How insignificant is the power of one living being’s devout reverence?

Only that Human Race youth—or to be precise, the Guardian Saint Spirit behind him—is truly the "solitary tree that becomes a forest"!

To Empress Huangtu, who presently resides in the Otherworld·Peach Blossom Realm, this Guardian Saint Spirit is practically an existence that defies the heavens to change fate!

"Hoo~"

Slowly, Empress Huangtu extended her left hand, endlessly stretching it downward.

Du Yu stood there in a daze, only to see a mud hand that blotted out the sky reaching over from the distant heavens.

The scene was spectacular to the extreme!

It also made Du Yu’s heart pound wildly; if this were a battle, he really had no idea how he could possibly survive under this mud hand.

It seemed that, other than running for his life, there was no second option?

For a brief instant, Du Yu had already wanted to swing the Void Axe!

Empress Huangtu’s enormous mud hand slowly landed over ten meters in front of Du Yu.

Very considerately, her fingertips lightly pierced into the ground, providing Du Yu with a path to climb up.

If her fingers had only rested on the ground, then this tiny Human Race youth would have to fly to be able to step onto the mud hand.

"Du Yu, Du Yu~" Little Fen Yang shouted, "Go, go, let’s go check it out."

Du Yu: "..."

"Moo!"

High in the sky, Kui Chou let out a bovine bellow: "You’re saying this brat is the expert standing behind you, that he helped you?"

Huangtu said nothing; she only felt that at her fingertip, the tiny Human Race had already climbed up.

"Nai~" Bai Yujing wore a terrified expression, yet still followed and guarded his master, accompanying Du Yu as they climbed onto the mud finger.

"Don’t worry, it’s fine." Du Yu’s heart softened; even when Xiaobai could barely fend for himself, he still acted like this.

Du Yu stroked the Immortal Deer’s fur with one hand and then recalled Bai Yujing back into his body.

Down below, Li Mengnan’s little mouth was slightly open as she watched, eyes wide, while the mud hand slowly lifted, carrying Du Yu away, taking him toward the heavens.

"Whoa!" Du Yu cried out in surprise; as the mud hand rose, his body suddenly tilted.

The mud hand’s moving speed was still considered slow, but for a tiny Human Race, it was no different from an earthquake.

Du Yu reacted quickly; as wind coiled and fire flared around his feet, a Hollow Bamboo also appeared in his hand.

Standing on Empress Huangtu’s fingertip pad, he braced the bamboo stick backward.

Empress Huangtu’s body structure was highly lifelike, refined down to the tiniest detail.

There were even shallow fingerprints on her fingertip pad; to Du Yu, they were like little trenches.

Du Yu stepped within them, using the bamboo pole to brace himself, which allowed him to better maintain his balance.

Just like that, Du Yu was carried by a mud hand up over a thousand meters into the sky, right beneath the dark clouds!

No matter how powerful others were, at most they could step into the heavens in a single stride.

But Du Yu?

He didn’t even need to move his feet—just by standing there, he ascended to the heavens...

"Yo‑hoo~" Little Fen Yang felt the raging winds all around, very much like riding a roller coaster.

Empress Huangtu’s four fingers quietly curled in, leaving only her index finger supporting Du Yu.

She didn’t place her finger before her chest or her face, but instead raised it above her head.

Empress Huangtu lifted her eyelids, gazing at the tiny Human Race on her fingertip, silently looking up at him.

This scene even gave the Cyan Sect crowd a brief illusion, as if...

As if Empress Huangtu was "toasting" Du Yu?

No, this wasn’t an illusion!

Empress Huangtu really was honoring Du Yu, wasn’t she?!

This scene’s coolness level was maxed out.

In the sky, dark clouds rolled; the Thunder Bull coiled within them, its ferocious bull’s head glaring downward.

On the ground, earthen shrines clustered together; Empress Huangtu towered awe‑inspiringly above them, her solemn mud eyes uplifted toward her fingertip.

Between heaven and earth,

between the bull’s head and the Goddess Statue, a tiny Human Race figure stood.

"Gulp." Du Yu swallowed, his heart already lodged in his throat.

The scene was indeed soul‑shaking, but Du Yu, standing at the very center of the vortex, was about to be crushed by the auras of these two Supreme beings!

Damn... he couldn’t handle either side!

Du Yu shakily took a step, never having felt his legs so heavy.

Fortunately, he still had a bamboo stick in hand; Du Yu simply gave a hard jab, the bamboo stick stabbing fiercely into Empress Huangtu’s fingertip.

"Swish~" Du Yu darted off to the side, wind and fire coiling at his feet as he sprinted toward the side of Empress Huangtu’s finger.

Who would have thought Empress Huangtu would suddenly open her hand, catching Du Yu in her palm.

Du Yu: ???

No, I didn’t slip and fall!

I was trying to go down, okay!

Empress Huangtu cupped Du Yu in her palm, still holding him above her head; her mud eyes swept past her palm and looked up at the Thunder Bull in the sky. "He is the key to Huangtu’s victory."

Kui Chou stared fixedly at Du Yu, deeply puzzled.

The Huangtu Domain was very mysterious, beyond what Kui Chou could yet comprehend.

At the end of the day, Kui Chou was a Demon Beast, and the vast majority of its life had been spent in the Mountain Realm.

You couldn’t just assume that Kui Chou understood various aspects of worldly culture, phenomena, and so on.
