I Have a Golden Crow

"The dark sky hangs low, the bright stars follow, bamboo leaves flying, bamboo leaves flying..."

The boy’s soft singing resonated gently within the spacious cave dwelling.

Little You Ying nestled obediently in Du Yu’s arms, listening to the gentle lullaby, gradually drifting into dreamland.

"Hehe~" Little Fen Yang giggled, full of envy, "Little You Ying is so happy."

Du Yu noticed Little Fen Yang’s feelings and smiled back, "You want to be lulled to sleep too? Then let’s do it together?"

Herding one sheep or two, it’s all the same.

"Hmph, I don’t want to!" Little Fen Yang muttered quietly, "I’m not a child."

Du Yu: "..."

I was thinking, but aren’t you also quite young?

The scene was warm and peaceful, all of it observed by the Mountain Ghost Race Leader.

However, the Mountain Ghost’s heart could not settle down.

It knew well that it stood at a turning point in destiny, and the human boy before it could give it everything it needed.

The matter of relocating the entire tribe was undoubtedly a monumental decision that required careful consideration.

The Mountain Ghost only felt lucky that it could make this decision with ease.

Everything Du Yu offered was something the Mountain Ghost Race Leader couldn’t refuse.

Meeting this human was already a stroke of great fortune.

The rest was up to the Ghost Demon Race to grasp this heavenly favor.

"Hmm?" Du Yu uttered a soft inquiry, looking ahead.

While coaxing You Ying to sleep, he saw the Ghost Demon King stand up and arrive at the stone table.

The tall body of the Great Demon Emperor slowly knelt on one knee, clasping fists together.

For a brief moment, Du Yu imagined a phrase: "Thanks to the lord’s benevolence, I am willing to serve with all I have?"

"Please take us in, Master." The Mountain Ghost Race Leader whispered, as if worried about disturbing Little You Ying’s happy dreams.

Du Yu realized he had always been instilling the idea of "Commander" into the Mountain Ghost Race Leader.

Different from other Commanders in the Mountain Realm, the Ghost Demon King before him had a clearer sense of his role.

This soldier-like etiquette said it all.

Demon Beasts with culture are indeed hard to handle.

The cave dwelling was silent, but the two guard Ghost Baboons at the entrance witnessed this scene and widened their eyes, as if seeing something unbelievable.

Du Yu said, "You’ve only listened to me talk about it; you haven’t seen the Acupoint Home."

The Mountain Ghost Race Leader lowered its head, "The Mountain Ghost does not need to see the home; as a Demon Beast, recognizing our master is enough."

Du Yu: "..."

"As a Demon Beast"

Could a true Demon Beast say such a thing?

"Just agree to this monkey, Du Yu." Kui Chou shouted, "I want to drink wine."

"Mhm mhm," Little Fen Yang quietly agreed, "The juice is sweet~"

Du Yu chuckled, looking at the Mountain Ghost Race Leader before him, "What’s in your Mountain Ghost Brew?

When you all move into the Mountain Realm, I’ll get the corresponding Demonic Plant fruit trees ready for you."

The Mountain Ghost Race Leader immediately lifted its head, its painted face full of joy, "Thank you, Master, for granting it."

"Rise." Du Yu said softly, indeed finding it easy to talk with a smart monkey.

The Mountain Ghost did not rise, adding, "The Mountain Ghost has one more matter."

"Hmm?"

"Our tribe entered the Mountain Demon Realm with the arrangement of Great Xia; wanting to relocate the entire tribe out of the Otherworld, the Master will face considerable resistance."

"Don’t worry." Du Yu looked at the Mountain Ghost Race Leader, "I’ve already welcomed the equally rare and valuable Dust Spirit Deer tribe into my home."

Upon hearing this, the Mountain Ghost was internally moved!

The Master did indeed say that the home also includes a "Big Black Sheep" and a "Little White Deer."

This so-called Little White Deer, is it really from the Dust Spirit Deer tribe?

The Mountain Ghost suppressed its emotions, "The Dust Spirit Deer tribe is far more rare than my Ghost Demon tribe."

"No need for modesty, rise." Du Yu casually said, looking down at the already asleep Little You Ying.

He carefully placed the Divine Ghost Firefly into the Acupoint Home, instantly plunging the cave dwelling into darkness.

Silence enveloped the area, except for the occasional strange cries of the Ghost Baboons outside the cave.

Suddenly, a screen’s glow illuminated Du Yu’s face.

The Mountain Ghost certainly recognized the phone, the monkeys had taken quite a few of them before, exchanging for fruits after returning them to the Other Realm.

Du Yu suddenly asked, "What is your tribe called, how are you different from other Ghost Demon tribes?"

The Mountain Ghost Race Leader: "The Mountain Ghost Tribe is named after me."

"Oh." Du Yu dialed a number, "How many clan members do you have?"

"Including myself, there are 21 Enchanting Demons in total."

"Junior brother?" At the same time, Senior Brother Li Jing’s voice came through the phone.

Du Yu apologetically said, "Sorry, Senior Brother, for disturbing you so late."

"It’s okay, I’m still at work." Li Jing replied with a cheerful chuckle.

"It’s already 11 p.m., why are you still at work?" Du Yu muttered, "Is Master Qing a capitalist?"

Li Jing: "..."

Such words, he absolutely dared not say.

Indeed,

only those favored have the audacity.

Du Yu: "Are you still at the office, Senior Brother?"

"Yes." Li Jing asked curiously, "What does junior brother need?"

Du Yu reached out with a wisp of Demon Soul, placing it atop the Mountain Ghost’s head, "Go, bring another jar of wine."

"Yes!"

As the Mountain Ghost stood up and left, Du Yu continued, "Senior Brother, help me check if there’s anyone outside the courtyard gate?"

Upon hearing this, the astute Li Jing realized that the junior brother was coming over.

"Wait a moment." Li Jing’s face inadvertently turned serious as he stood up and walked to the window, observing for a moment, "It’s desolate, no one’s here."
