I Have a Golden Crow

The group searched in the bamboo forest for a long time, but found nothing.

Over a hundred years ago, this Chi Bear’s Courtyard no longer existed.

At that time, the Chi Bear Race set out with all the Tai Sui Bamboo and went to war, never to return.

It was undoubtedly a sad story, and a tragic history worth singing and weeping over.

Alas, the Twin Tree Realm was destroyed, and ashes filled the world.

No one knows or sings this grand epic anymore.

Only a century-old Dixiu Tree, relying on its blurred memories, tells its tale to the travelers from the Otherworld.

For the Chi Bear Race, Du Yu held great respect, even though the stories about the Chi Bear Race were just a few words from the Dixiu Tree.

But Du Yu knew that a seemingly ordinary sentence in the history books might actually be a world-shattering story.

Just like the few sculptures in the Daxia Chi Bear Paradise - Culture Hall, the brief introductions in just a few sentences encapsulate the perilous journey of Du Yu and Master Qing to East Persia.

Du Yu didn’t know how to express this respect.

He selected a large patch of bamboo from the forest and took it to the Sea Realm, planting it behind the Fire Phoenix Tree Residence, close to the Dust Spirit Garden wall.

As a memorial to the Otherworldly Chi Bear Race.

With Immortal Mountain comes fame, and with Dragon Water comes spirit.

Without the Tai Sui Bamboo, these bamboo are of course ordinary wood, and over the long hundred years, many generations of bamboo have changed.

But no matter what, the bamboo grew on the old site of the Chi Bear’s Courtyard.

Du Yu has decided to go to Jinguan City·Bamboo Grove next time and select some bamboo from behind the house to give to the Chi Bear Tribe.

To let the Chi Bears know, there was such a brave and fearless group of clansmen who once existed in the Otherworld Continent and rose to fight.

This is one of the few things Du Yu can do.

As the gray sky gradually brightened, Du Yu activated the Void Axe, leading the group into the spatial rift.

"Hmm." Du Yu squinted and stepped into the bright 17th-floor living room.

In Great Xia, the sky was also just beginning to brighten, but in the Ashen Continent, even during the day, there was gray fog covering the sky, making the light particularly dim.

"Alright." Yang Qingqing reminded.

Du Yu immediately turned around, confirmed all his fellow cultivators were present, and promptly activated the Void Axe to close the spatial rift.

A passageway to the Otherworld slowly closed, yet the dense energy continued to surge violently, leaving its residual power.

"For the past three days, everyone worked hard." Yang Qingqing looked at the disciples with a hint of pride.

In a place unknown to the world, they accomplished yet another feat.

Even though the General’s Seal from that side had lost its spirituality and seemed like scrap metal.

But Yang Qingqing knew, since the disciple was determined to retrieve it, this General’s Seal would surely shine brightly at some moment in the future!

"Everyone go home to rest and stabilize your minds." As she spoke, Yang Qingqing glanced at Jiang Feng.

"Master Qing." Jiang Feng spoke, "I have already found a place to live, Junior Brother Fu helped me choose it, and the environment is great.

When you have time, feel free to visit, as it will officially be my new home."

Yang Qingqing smiled, "Since you are moving, of course, you pick the day and inform me."

"How about setting it for three days later?" Jiang Feng proposed.

"Hmm." Yang Qingqing nodded lightly.

"Master Qing, what about this Life and Death Tree Heart?" Li Mengnan held up an irregular ellipsoidal object, about 2 meters in size, with twisted branches.

It wasn’t actually Li Mengnan holding it, but the Xun Grass wrapped around her arm held the Life and Death Tree Heart tightly.

The Demon Tree Heart is not the tree heart in the ordinary sense.

The formidable Holy Plant, the Tree of Life and Death, is as big as hundreds of meters, yet its heart is only 2 meters, which is quite pitifully small.

The entire essence of the demonic plant is concentrated here.

"Leave it with me." Yang Qingqing reached out her hand, "I’ll have the bureau contact a few Demon Weapon Masters."

Such precious materials must be treated with the utmost care, never to be wasted.

In terms of combat, everyone is naturally an expert among experts.

But crafting demon weapons?

Until now, Du Yu has only had the experience of crafting the Newbie Demon Soldier Bow, and even then, he ruined quite a few materials...

Professional matters should of course be handled by professionals.

Master Qing will surely seek out the top-tier Demon Weapon Masters in Great Xia. It’s undeniable that the status granted to her by the Great Xia Bookstore·Twenty-Ninth Bureau will bring great convenience to everyone.

Yang Qingqing held the tree heart, but Xun Grass did not let go.

Li Mengnan quietly said, "Xun?"

Slowly, Xun Grass finally loosened its hold and let go of the tree heart. It’s uncertain if it had let go of itself and that bittersweet past.

Yang Qingqing lifted the tree heart, and the Ground Cover spread across the wall immediately reached out to entwine the tree heart.

The woman walked towards the stairs, saying, "Everyone disperse."

With the master’s orders, no one dared to disturb further, and after a few casual conversations, they all left.

The end-of-the-world journey to the Ashen Continent left a significant impact on everyone.

This is why Master Qing required the disciples to go home to rest and stabilize their minds.

Interestingly, everyone specifically escorted Du Yu back to his doorstep.

It sounded proper, but it was just one floor, and they didn’t even take the elevator, choosing to use the stairs instead...

Du Yu also bid farewell to Xun Grass.

Xun Grass would accompany Li Mengnan to see the outside world, the sunlight, and the blue sky with white clouds.

Later, as per agreement, it would settle in Li Mengnan’s Peach Blossom Realm.

There, too, was a place with blue skies and white clouds, but more importantly, it was a true place of peace, the beautiful home Xun Grass had always dreamed of.

After watching everyone leave by elevator, Du Yu took the Gilded Bronze Seal and knocked on his own door.

Unsurprisingly, he was warmly welcomed by the Golden Leaf.

Xiaoyezi didn’t care about Du Yu’s aura of hostility and thoughtfully helped him change his shoes and take off his clothes.

And in the main bedroom’s bathroom, Golden Leaf also immediately prepared hot water for Du Yu.

It seemed that it truly wanted Du Yu to become unable to manage his own life.

"Celestial General’s Seal." Du Yu nestled into the sofa, playing with the Gilded Bronze Seal, "Celestial General, tsk tsk~"

This title is quite domineering, isn’t it?

"Hey!"

"Ah? Kui Chou, the Supreme." Du Yu immediately responded.

Kui Chou: "What are you doing? Taking a break?"

Du Yu blinked his eyes: "Yeah, I just finished a task, taking a break... Any instructions from the Supreme?"

Kui Chou almost laughed in frustration: "Don’t you know to send me back to the Huishan Realm?

You were all this and that when you needed me, and now you’ve forgotten me?"

"Ah!" Du Yu slapped his forehead, "Now, now I’ll send you back to the mountain!"

As he spoke, Du Yu flipped his hand, and the Bell Shadow flickered open.

The room full of Golden Leaves suddenly froze.

I’m still running a warm bath over there for you!

And you’re just leaving like that?

At the same time, at the Celestial Gate of the Mountain Realm, Du Yu flew straight into the sky.

It must be said, the power of the Supreme is truly astonishing.

Kui Chou had been out for several days, yet the sky over the Mountain Realm remained dark, filled with dark clouds.

Ever since contracting with Kui Chou, Du Yu was fortunate enough to witness the true scene above the dark clouds.

The Mountain Realm actually has blue skies!

Unfortunately, as long as Kui Chou exists, the beings of the Mountain Realm can never escape the shadow of the Supreme.

"Moo!!!"

With Du Yu summoning Kui Chou, the Ancient Bull returned to the dark clouds.

Returning to its domain, Kui Chou called out in comfort.

The way it jumped and frolicked in place was less about celebration and more about going wild~

"That Ashen Continent isn’t all that dangerous either?" a voice came from within Du Yu’s mind.

The other party communicated with Du Yu via their contract, so Little Fen Yang couldn’t hear it.

Similarly, Du Yu responded through the contract: "Because with Kui Chou the Supreme here, everything becomes so simple."

That was the truth.

Without the support of instant teleportation, the difficulty of rescuing Xun Grass would have skyrocketed.

"Heh." Kui Chou let out a cold snort, "You sure know how to talk.

That praise felt nice, keep it up in the future!"

Du Yu: "..."

Kui Chou: "Alright, stop standing there, get lost."

Du Yu pouted, truly uncouth!

My Celestial Cyan Porcelain at home is better, with such a nice and gentle voice~

"Moo!!!"

Niuniu wasn’t happy!

His voice became even more gruff: "If she’s so good, go to her! Stop bothering me!"

Du Yu shivered and shrank his neck: "Kui Chou the Supreme is also great! I love Kui Chou!"

Kui Chou chuckled and scolded: "Go away!"

"Gotcha~"

Du Yu left with a Mountain and Sea Bell, directly sitting back on the living room sofa.

He picked up the Gilded Bronze Seal lying nearby, feeling quite upset inside.

For goodness’ sake, I really have no memory!

Always thinking of other things while communicating through the contract, isn’t this just like wearing my emotions on my sleeve?

"Rustle~"

Seeing its owner back, the Golden Leaf was happy again, quickly extending a golden stem.

The buzzing sound it made captured Du Yu’s attention.

"Huh?" Du Yu took the phone the Golden Leaf handed over, spotting a rare name on the screen—Hongye.

Hongye?!

Du Yu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Since giving Hongye a phone, she had never called, probably worried about disturbing him.

And at this particular time, Hongye called...

As much as Du Yu’s thoughts started to roam.

Could Elder Yinsuo have seen me return from the Ashen World?

Oh boy~

Like a surveillance camera, the Sky Net System?

"Hongye?" Du Yu answered the call, calling out.

"Ying~" A soft murmur came from the other end of the line.

Du Yu hesitated for a moment, choosing not to interpret it maliciously, and instead, said: "You miss me?"

Hongye: "Ying..."

Du Yu: "Then I’ll come to see you in two days?"

Hongye: "Ying!"

Du Yu chuckled: "Alright, I happen to have something to give to your tribe anyways, so tomorrow morning it is, we’ll meet at the Red Bamboo Courtyard.

By the way, don’t stand in the courtyard, you might get accidentally hurt."

Hongye: "Ying."

Du Yu: "Then I’ll hang up first? I’m going to take a bath, we’ll see each other tomorrow."

Hongye: "Ying~"

Du Yu put down the phone, his expression quite peculiar.

What’s called unobstructed communication?

Learning Beast Speak isn’t that hard, after all.

Little Fen Yang: "Hehe~"

Du Yu stood up: "You’ve been listening the whole time? Did I understand it right? What did Hongye just say?"

Little Fen Yang’s voice was soft and sticky, coyly murmuring: "Ying~"

Du Yu: ???
