Chapter 1128: Dreaming of This
"Du Yu, what are you doing?" Li Mengnan huddled next to Du Yu, holding his wrist with one hand, a demon soul floating in her palm.
Du Yu’s expression was strange, "I didn’t do anything, just lit three sticks of incense."
"Really?" Li Mengnan looked suspiciously, sneaking a glance at the Empress Huangtu inside the hall, "With the incense you offered, the hall shook three times."
Du Yu: "..."
Actually, he was a bit confused himself. It was just burning three sticks of incense, why was Empress Huangtu reacting so strongly?
Glancing around, the other worshippers all thought it was the manifestation of a divine presence, and knelt down in waves.
This is great!
Du Yu, Li Mengnan, and Jiang Feng stood out awkwardly among a crowd of devout, kneeling believers.
Honestly, if Du Yu were alone, he might have just knelt down.
Respecting the divine is quite normal.
But with the Golden Crow in Du Yu’s destiny, he simply couldn’t kneel.
Little did Du Yu know, even if he did want to kneel at this moment, even Empress Huangtu inside the hall wouldn’t dare to accept it...
If his knees so much as softened, Empress Huangtu would immediately have to back down!
If you think about it, wouldn’t that scene be especially interesting?
Countless worshippers come to burn incense and pray devoutly, only for the empress to get up and leave!
Hmm... now that’s what you call a real manifestation of the empress~
The worshippers might feel like they’ve been struck by lightning, their faces turning ashen!
How deep must my sins be?
No matter how bad it is, Empress Huangtu ignoring me is one thing, but how could she just get up and leave?
Is what I seek today really that impossible?
"This Demon Friend." Just as Du Yu was lost in thought, an old woman shuffled forward.
Her demeanor was respectful, hands clasped together, she made a bow to Du Yu, "Please."
Du Yu nodded lightly in acknowledgment, following the old woman into the hall, heading deep inside.
"Xiaoyu, sit." Langao gestured to the kneeling cushion beside him.
Du Yu immediately shook his head in refusal, "No need, Elder, I can stand."
But Langao was very firm, her old, withered hands gesturing to the kneeling cushion beside her, "Sit."
Du Yu hesitated for a moment, then chose to follow the host’s wishes.
"Crack! Crack..."
Just as Du Yu sat down, a special sound came from behind.
He turned his head and saw some men and women in gray robes, coming from who knows where. They were pushing the grand doors of the main hall, slowly closing them.
Looks like Empress Huangtu planned to close the doors to visitors.
The gray-robed men and women didn’t directly chase away the worshippers still kneeling inside, instead standing beside them, seemingly waiting for a while before escorting the visitors out.
Langao looked at Du Yu and spoke softly, "Xiaoyu, do you know that there’s a mysterious Supreme protecting you within?"
"Hmm?" Du Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
No wonder the hall quaked when I burned a few sticks of incense.
Turns out Empress Huangtu had sensed the presence of the Little Golden Crow.
Langao’s expression was very respectful, gazing into Du Yu’s eyes, as if trying to see through them to the Supreme Holy Beast within.
She spoke, "This Holy Beast is of boundless virtue, rarely seen in the world, inspiring awe and reverence in the heart."
Du Yu nodded, "There indeed is one, but this Supreme prefers not to show itself in everyday life, I hope Elder Langao can forgive."
Langao immediately waved it off, why speak of forgiveness?
Such a Holy Beast should be revered as divine, with not the slightest disrespect.
Since the Holy Beast doesn’t want to be seen, it just means one’s fortune hasn’t arrived, and one doesn’t have the privilege of meeting it.
Seeing Elder Langao’s reaction, Du Yu realized again the uniqueness of the Mud Po Goddess Divine Sculpture·Supreme Domain.
Empress Huangtu was clearly of the belief and merit-based faction.
Therefore, she reacted so strongly to the presence of Little Fen Yang!
But then look at the Celestial Cyan Porcelain, the Sorrow Seabird, the Chi Bear Race, and a series of other demon beasts.
Though these Supreme, Demon Saints, and Demon Emperors also showed respect to Little Fen Yang, it was more from fearing its mighty power.
However, the reverence from Empress Huangtu and Langao towards Little Fen Yang wasn’t just for its strength.
They valued the role Little Fen Yang played in the Demon Taming World, and everything it’s done all this while.
As the Burning Sun Golden Crow, being the Fire Attribute Venerable, it could bless all fire element demon beasts in the world.
Plus, it had previously carried Twin Tree Bark and spread it across half of Great Xia, blessing countless Xia citizens...
The respect from Langao and Empress Huangtu, Little Fen Yang certainly deserved it!
Jiang Feng, who stood behind, was also a bit confused.
She hadn’t seen the Celestial Cyan Porcelain with her own eyes, after all, by the time she arrived, the Sea Realm Saint had already returned to the Dragon Palace.
What Jiang Feng never expected was that inside her junior brother, there was actually a Supreme?!
This...
The more Jiang Feng understood Du Yu, the more she realized the strength of her junior brother, the more incredible it seemed.
It’s hard to imagine, such a seemingly harmless young man concealed so much behind him!
While Jiang Feng was dumbfounded over there, Du Yu, sitting on the cushion, spoke up, "Elder, about teaching that Ancient Niuniu a lesson?"
Langao nodded lightly, "Empress Huangtu is willing to take on this task, Xiaoyu’s goal is to repel the Cold Tree, to protect the Twin Tree Realm.
If it can help you gain strong support, it’s naturally a virtue."
Langao was evidently very measured, not inquiring further about the mysterious Supreme.
In anyone else’s place, they would surely have many questions. After all, with such a Supreme in Du Yu’s body, it seems unreasonable to come here to burn incense and pray?
"Thank you, Elder Langao!" Du Yu looked delighted, then looked up at Empress Huangtu, "Thank you, Empress Huangtu, I’ll burn a few more sticks of incense for you later."
Langao hurriedly said, "No!"
