I Have a Golden Crow

As the vehicle wound its way along the mountain road, who knew that at the end of a certain fork lay a villa. Finally, just as Du Yu was about to get dizzy from the winding, the vehicle slowly drove into a forest of red maple leaves.

In front of him was a standalone villa, the house was not small, and the yard was even larger. And just outside the door was the mountain forest, which was quite a bit of natural scenery indeed.

Little Fen Yang: ”Wow~ So many trees~”

Du Yu: ”...”

Little Fen Yang: ”Maple trees, this family probably has wood and fire attributes.”

Du Yu was startled in his heart: ”You’re saying all these maple trees are demonic plants?”

”Yes, silly Du Yu~ Can’t you feel the demon breath?”

Du Yu felt embarrassed. The demon breath inside him was simply too abundant!

So abundant that he lost the sensitivity he should have had to the demon breath fluctuations in the surrounding environment.

Moreover, these trees really looked like ordinary maple trees.

Lin Shiwei got out of the car, was the first to open the rear seat, and several Wolf Lake Dogs wagged their tails and dashed out.

They didn’t run off immediately, but instead bounced on the spot, constantly calling to Prince Yan on the rear seat: ”Yip!”

”Woof woof~”

”Woof!”

Responding to the call of the contract, Du Yu came back to his senses and said, ”Go play with them, it’s okay.”

”Yip~” Xiaoyan whispered, leaping out of the rear seat.

The Little Wolf Lake Dogs saw their big sister coming along, and they happily wagged their tails, leading Xiaoyan to the dog house beside the villa.

In the dog house, a gigantic Wolf Lake Dog, hearing the sound, slowly extended its beautiful head.

Little Fen Yang: ”Even the dogs have a home~”

Du Yu: ???

Little Fen Yang: ”Really, Du Yu, look over there.”

”Stop scolding, stop scolding,” Du Yu muttered, as he saw the front door of the villa open, and a middle-aged woman in a light-colored dress greeted them.

Du Yu immediately opened the door and got out of the car, looking at the tall figure standing in front of the house.

”Is she your mother?”

”Yes, let’s go.” Lin Shiwei smiled and waved, walking up briskly.

Du Yu, however, was confused. The mother and daughter really didn’t look alike.

The woman’s brow had no trace of fierceness, revealing an aura unique to Great Xia women, full of gentleness.

By this logic, Lin Shiwei should resemble her father more, right?

”Hello, Du Yu.”

Seeing the woman’s extended hand, Du Yu quickened his pace, went forward and shook hands with her: ”Aunt Su, sorry for bothering you.”

Regarding Lin Shiwei’s mother’s name, Du Yu had specifically asked. And he also knew that Aunt Su was a Demon Tamer.

She hadn’t been able to advance to Great Demon Tamer, nor take the step towards deification and sainthood, but this did not affect her status and position.

In fact, her ambition was not in this area.

Because Su Ming’an was a very famous breeder!

Well...at least that’s what Lin Shiwei says.

Many powerful Demon Tamers would use connections and spend a fortune to send problematic Demon Pets to Su Ming’an, asking for help to correct bad habits and rectify attitudes.

Especially when Demon Pets advance to Spirit Level, this is a period prone to significant changes in character!

Once people gain momentum, it’s easy for them to get carried away, let alone demon beasts?

The vast majority of Demon Tamers will pull their Demon Pets back from going astray through contracts, emotional bonds, reward and punishment methods, etc.

But there are some that can be educated well, and naturally some that can’t.

With the strength level of a Third Level·Demon Tamer, Su Ming’an trains Fourth Level·Spirit Level Demon Beasts, guiding Demon Pets back onto the right track. Just this ability is enough to amaze everyone.

And Su Ming’an’s skills are not just in ”education,” but also in ”nurturing.” The potential of Demon Pets cultivated by her hands tends to be greatly developed.

”There’s no disturbance at all.” Su Ming’an’s voice was very gentle, with a bright smile on her face, ”I invited you over, come in quickly.”

”Oh, okay.”

As Aunt Su turned and opened the door, Du Yu also saw her hair tied up at the back, with a jade hairpin piercing through the bun, looking very much like a demon soldier.

”Come on.” Lin Shiwei tugged on Du Yu’s sleeve.

”Mm... oh~” As soon as Du Yu stepped in, a gigantic butterfly floated over.

Although it had wings, it wasn’t relying on flight, but simply hovered in mid-air.

The golden wings are adorned with exquisite patterns, and beneath them extends a tail reminiscent of the ”Swallowtail Butterfly,” only this creature is much larger.

Lin Shiwei raised her hand and gently touched its antennae.

A shimmer of light flickered, and the giant butterfly flew far away.

”No need to change shoes, come in quickly.” Su Ming’an waved to the two, leading Du Yu to the large floor-to-ceiling window at the end of the living room, seated in a wooden chair by the tea table.

”I once wondered what kind of person the Dust Spirit Deer would fancy, and to what extent it would trust you. Just by vouching, Xiaowei could bring back an Immortal Deer.”

Su Ming’an poured the tea, holding the porcelain cup with jade-like fingers, and handed it over: ”Your eyes have unraveled many of my questions.”

Lin Shiwei: ”Du Yu?”

”Ah?” Du Yu stood dazed in front of the large window, transfixed by the outside scenery until he finally snapped out of his reverie upon hearing Lin Shiwei’s words.

Seeing the jade porcelain cup handed to him, Du Yu hurriedly reached out to take it: ”Sorry, sorry, I was a bit dazzled. Are all these the Demon Pets raised by Aunt Su?”

Outside the villa, there’s merely a maple grove, with red leaves suffused, breathtakingly beautiful.

Yet behind the villa is a world unto itself!

In the distance, the dense maple forest seems like a natural barrier enclosing a vast garden.

On the verdant grass, various Demon Beasts are frolicking and playing, or leisurely resting.

Du Yu hadn’t studied much, he was a ”pragmatist.” Because he had to go to the battlefield before, he researched the Celestial Treasure Race’s biological studies more.

And precisely because of this, Du Yu knew what precious and rare Demon Pets were nurtured in this enormous garden!

In the center of the garden stands a towering ancient tree, its leaves swaying, with occasional appearances of multicolored Enchanting Demon silhouettes.

Below the giant tree lies a pond, where Wolf Lake Dogs, along with Xiaoyan, are playing with Golden Lamp Spirit Fish in the water.

Faintly, Du Yu could hear the neighing of steeds, as a group of Wind Trace Steeds sometimes amalgamated, sometimes shattered, traversing the wide grounds.

In the distant Maple Forest Barrier, various bird clans roosted within, holding their territory.

Individual small groups of Demon Beasts dispersed throughout the garden, the various precious Celestial Treasure Race Demon Beasts truly dazzled Du Yu!

Yet non-Celestial Treasure Race Demon Beasts were similarly numerous.

With keen eyesight, Du Yu quickly noticed the Dust Spirit Deer! They were not within the garden but had breached the Maple Forest Barrier, chasing through the woods.

And there were not just one, but two Dust Spirit Deer!

Whether the Dust Spirit Deer was entrusted here by others or belonged to Su Ming’an himself, it means Su Ming’an is qualified enough!

”Whish~”

The Little Wolf Lake Dogs and Xiaoyan whimpered together, continuously retreating, clamoring as they ran back to find their mother.

A beast resembling a beaver emerged from the pond.

Its back turned to the little ones, using its ”duckbill” like peculiar big tail, it splashed waves of water, drenching the little ones all over.

Su Ming’an sat peacefully on the wooden chair, took a sip of tea, and gazed at the tranquil and beautiful scene outside the window, softly saying: ”Most are entrusted here for nurturing.”

”Aunt Su must be very tired every day.” Du Yu slightly raised his head, watching a group of butterflies fly by, casting tiny specks under the sunlight.

”No, I like them.” Su Ming’an looked gently outside, suddenly asked, ”Did you see that big fellow?”

”That... big bear?”

Many small groups were distributed within the garden, but only one Demon Beast was solitary, occupying a small area in the northwest.

Its size was exceptionally large, resembling a small mountain, seemingly unsociable, with no Demon Beast daring to disturb it.

Su Ming’an: ”It’s very withdrawn. Would you like to help it?”

”Me?” Du Yu turned to look at the woman, ”Can I do it?”

Su Ming’an nodded gently, softly said: ”Breeder is never a career choice, but a kind of talent.”

Du Yu slightly raised his eyebrow, talent?

”In this world, there are always a handful of people who can make Demon Beasts willingly open their hearts and treat them sincerely.”

Du Yu: ”Hmm...”

Su Ming’an gazed at the youth’s bright eyes: ”It was brought here three days ago, want to give it a try?”

Du Yu: ”What level is it?”

Su Ming’an: ”Spirit Level.”

Du Yu froze, silent for quite a while, softly said: ”Aunt Su, shall we eat first?”

Lin Shiwei: ”Pfft... hahaha~”

Su Ming’an: ”...”
