I Have a Golden Crow

Du Yu stopped in his tracks and looked at the Immortal Master beside him.

Yang Qingqing had a gentle smile on her face: "The Thunder Pool might be able to communicate with the heavens and earth, foreseeing or deducing the future of all living things.

But ultimately, the path is one you carve yourself.

When the future involves you, you always deliver an even better answer."

"Huh?" Du Yu was a bit puzzled, not understanding how Master Qing came to this conclusion, or what the basis was.

Could facing Chi Ancestor alongside you be the better solution?

Then let’s... try it out?

A gust of wind wrapped around Du Yu’s feet, lifting him over ten centimeters into the air.

Yang Qingqing did the same, her skirt gently fluttering as they both soared hundreds of meters into the sky, flying towards Chi Ancestor’s face.

"Eee~" Hu Xiaoyan suddenly let out a soft coo, linking head to tail across Du Yu’s chest, holding him tightly.

It’s unclear whether Prince Yan was afraid of heights, or merely trying to keep Du Yu warm.

Or perhaps, the Beautiful Demon Fox was simply crafty, seeking Prince Du’s affection.

Du Yu naturally warmed up to this, nuzzling the fiery red fox fur, only to accidentally discover an astounding scene!

The direction from which he came, the sealed high wall of bamboo forest, was now growing infinitely taller!

This also prevented Du Yu from overseeing the scene outside from high above.

Such a "blinding technique" was truly astonishing.

"We’re here." Yang Qingqing softly reminded him.

"Oh." Du Yu snapped back to reality, his flight speed reducing suddenly, only dozens of meters ahead was Chi Ancestor’s pitch-black nose.

Looking further up, there were a pair of black, gleaming bear eyes.

"Hello?" Du Yu stood steadily in mid-air, suddenly sensing some movement below.

He looked down immediately, only to see a giant bear paw slowly lifting, with glimmers of light emanating from its palm.

A majestic life force surrounded Du Yu.

"Eeeeee~~~" Hu Xiaoyan cooed comfortably, her body being nourished, relishing an incredibly wonderful sensation.

Similarly, Du Yu and Yang Qingqing shivered as they accepted Chi Ancestor’s goodwill.

The two of them gently landed on the soft pad of the bear paw, and the next scene was one Du Yu had not anticipated.

The Fire Age Axe he held in his hand started to sprout?

Made of Tai Sui Bamboo, the Fire Age Axe had a simple and straightforward style, without any bamboo leaves on its body.

But now, at the bamboo joint of the axe handle, green bamboo leaves were slowly growing.

Du Yu: ???

The green bamboo leaves were visibly changing color, transforming into crimson leaves.

And the overall size of the Fire Age Axe was continuously growing and expanding.

"This..." Du Yu was utterly astonished. Could a finished Demon Soldier really grow?

Upgrading from Emperor Grade to Holy Grade could radically change a Demon Soldier’s scale.

But at this moment, the Fire Age Axe was clearly not being reborn, but was simply growing slowly.

The 2-meter-long axe shaft and the 1-meter-sized axe head were continually expanding, presenting an especially magical scene.

"Du... Du Yu!" In his mind, came the trembling voice of Little Fen Yang.

Du Yu’s heart tightened, and he asked with concern, "What’s wrong, Little Fen Yang?"

Little Fen Yang’s eyes were wide with disbelief, her voice trembling: "I... I, I grew flesh."

Du Yu’s breath caught slightly: "What?!"

Little Fen Yang’s shaking voice was filled with delight: "Oh! I grew flesh!"

Du Yu immediately used the Demon Soul to view the Acupoint Home internally.

And when he went to observe, Little Fen Yang had already transformed into a Little Black Gold Bird.

Truly a Little Golden Crow!

The mysterious bird with black and gold hues, originally a phantom shape of a Demon Soul, was now continuously growing feathers on its body.

"Yoohoo~!" Little Golden Crow was extremely happy!

She gleefully fluttered her wings, flying around and around in the Acupoint Home, chanting, "Du Yu~ Du Yu Du Yu!"

"Ah, I’m here." Du Yu’s Demon Soul entered the acupoint, watching the Black Gold Bird fluttering around him.

"I grew flesh! Grew flesh~"

Little Golden Crow kept repeating the same sentence, and the delight in her words grew more intense each time.

"Mmm, mmm." Du Yu smiled, glancing repeatedly at the jubilant bird flying around him.

"Hehe~" The sweet laughter of the Little Golden Crow was so pure and innocent.

It echoed in Du Yu’s ears, swirling around his heart.

Since the day one person and one Golden Crow met, they had been companions for so long.

Little Fen Yang had never been this delighted before.

And Du Yu had never been this happy before.

Yes,

since I embarked on the path of Demon Taming, wasn’t my goal, my pursuit, precisely this?

Unexpectedly, in this cold Bamboo Garden, before the Chi Ancestor Saint, my wish has finally been fulfilled!

But the problem is, didn’t Elder Yinsuo say the Golden Crow Saint’s body is still pressed within the Ashen Continent’s Bottomless Kunlun?

And isn’t this Little Golden Crow too small in size?

It’s only about the size of a palm?

Is this the size befitting a Saint?

"Flap flap flap~"

The Little Golden Crow flew towards Du Yu, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Hehe~" Little Fen Yang happily flew left and right in front of Du Yu, as if showing off its black and gold wings.

Du Yu reached out to catch it, but his body was incorporeal as a Demon Soul.

"Silly Du Yu!" Little Fen Yang flapped its wings, landing on Du Yu’s shoulder, "You can’t catch me!"

The Golden Crow leaned forward, pecking Du Yu’s earlobe with its small beak, playfully pulling out a strand of Demon Soul thread.

In the following hundred seconds, Du Yu witnessed what "wings gradually growing strong" truly means!

"Thank you, Xiongxiong, let’s quickly thank Xiongxiong!" Little Fen Yang pecked Du Yu’s earlobe again.

"Alright, alright." On Chi Bear’s palm, Du Yu’s real body strained to raise his head, "Thank you, Chi Ancestor..."

But just after saying four words, Du Yu’s voice grew softer and eventually ceased.

Chi Ancestor’s eyes were so large that Du Yu could only see one of them.

Chi Ancestor’s eyes were also so small that they held only one emotion.

Sorrow.

It quietly looked at Du Yu, its bear eyes overflowing with endless sorrow.

For the first time, Yang Qingqing held Du Yu’s hand in reverse.

She understood Chi Ancestor’s gaze; it wasn’t feeling sad for itself but was sad for Du Yu.

"Why?" The joy on Du Yu’s face vanished completely as he looked up at Chi Ancestor’s bear eyes.

Chi Ancestor remained silent.

Indeed, it had not spoken a word from beginning to end, nor transmitted any thoughts.

Even Chi Ancestor’s shape-shifting Demon Soul had not appeared.

Du Yu’s voice steadied as he asked, "Has Chi Ancestor seen something? Can you tell Du Yu?"

"Hoo~"

Chi Ancestor still did not speak, but the green light in its palm grew more intense.

Little lights nourished Du Yu’s body, nurturing the spirit within him, and also obstructing the view between man and bear...

However, Du Yu possessed the Eye of Burning Sun, the lights couldn’t block his gaze.

Yet, regrettably, Chi Ancestor slowly closed its bear eyes, seemingly unwilling to communicate.

Du Yu’s voice came again: "Just now, my mentor told me that the Thunder Pool might connect with heaven and earth, predicting or deducing the future of all beings.

But the path, in the end, is one I must walk myself.

In those future scenarios, whenever I am involved, for better or worse, I always find a better solution."

Chi Ancestor remained unmoved, silent and still.

Du Yu: "Now, you have already seen a better solution.

In the scene of our meeting, she wasn’t originally by my side, right?"

As the sentence fell, Chi Ancestor silently opened its eyes.

Du Yu loudly said: "Without her companionship, I wouldn’t have heard these words on the way earlier.

At this moment, I wouldn’t be able to say these words.

You witnessed firsthand, this is the better solution that has happened to me, right?"

As he spoke, Du Yu tightly grasped Master Qing’s hand.

Fortunately, the woman had become Emperor Cheng; otherwise, her battle robe might have been crushed.

Du Yu had always been calm and reliable, even his expression at this moment seemed composed.

But his uncontrollable strength made Yang Qingqing aware that Du Yu’s heart was experiencing a cataclysm!

Anyone else would find it hard to stay calm.

If there were a doctor, faced with such a patient, revealing this expression, what would the patient’s reaction be?

Yet Chi Ancestor was not just a powerful Saint.

It was also a Prophet!
