I Have a Golden Crow

East Suburb of Ancient Pine Tower, within the Ten Thousand Plants Garden.

A silver lightning flashed through the jungle, ghostly and swift.

The Desolate Silver Lynx, always residing in the desert region, seemed to have awakened its genes seeing the dense forest.

The complex mountainous forest terrain was like open ground under Baojun’s feet.

The person riding on her back, however, occasionally let out a scream.

”Slow down, slow down, Foolish Monarch!” Du Yu’s muffled voice called out.

At the moment, his legs and hands were tightly wrapped around the lynx, with his face buried in the silver fur.

Du Yu was afraid if he loosened his grip even a little, he would be thrown off by the big cat!

The Desolate Silver Lynx was too fast!

Not only was she fast, but she kept turning too.

One sharp right angle turn after another continued to torment Du Yu.

The problem was, the Desolate Silver Lynx seemed to enjoy Du Yu’s screams?

The louder Du Yu screamed, the happier she seemed...

This journey was far more thrilling and exciting than a roller coaster a thousandfold!

In the end, trying to change the situation, Du Yu clung tightly to the Desolate Silver Lynx, gritted his teeth, and decided to remain silent.

He let himself be tossed around like a dead dog, without making a sound.

Sure enough, the Desolate Silver Lynx quickly lost interest and gradually came to a stop.

”Ah, saved.” Du Yu finally managed to sit upright, and everything he saw was spinning.

From below, a magnetic sandy voice drifted over: ”Why aren’t you screaming anymore?”

Du Yu: ???

Was this even language?

The Desolate Silver Lynx: ”Scream.”

Du Yu slapped her back, speaking frustratedly: ”I’m your master, you... Whoa!”

She suddenly started moving again, causing Du Yu to lean backwards abruptly.

”Ha.” The Desolate Silver Lynx let out a cold laugh, stood firmly, and her long silver tail pointed ahead, ”We’ve arrived.”

”Let me take a moment.” Du Yu held his forehead as dizziness caused his stomach to churn.

The Desolate Silver Lynx said nothing further, only lifting her head to gaze into the distance.

Even before entering the Ten Thousand Plants Garden, Du Yu had thoroughly studied the map with Baojun to confirm their journey to Zone 6, the Nameless Tree area.

The Desolate Silver Lynx was particularly sensitive to outdoor terrains, after passing several landmark trees on the map, she accurately found the Nameless Tree area.

Constructed and extended by the Nameless Tree Leaves, the ”Dark Forest” had the magnificent aura of blocking out the sky and sun.

As the Desolate Silver Lynx quietly observed the scene, she felt the little person on her back inching forward, for reasons unknown?

Du Yu reached out and pinched her ear, grabbing the tuft of fur on her pointed ear.

”Next time you do this, I’ll pluck all your fur!”

The Desolate Silver Lynx: ”...”

Du Yu released his hand and looked up at the overwhelming Nameless Tree Leaves.

The Desolate Silver Lynx’s ear wobbled like a small fan, slightly parting the tuft of fur on the tip.

”Let’s go find the main trunk.” Du Yu patted the big cat’s back.

The Desolate Silver Lynx looked at the dark jungle ahead, filled with anticipation, and stepped inside.

Yet what she found inside was somewhat disappointing.

In such a dim environment, fierce beasts were supposed to be hunting here.

But the forest was just dark, with no small creatures lurking under the Nameless Tree.

As they ventured deeper into the darkness, the beams of light filtering through the gaps in the leaves guided their way.

Arriving in front of the tree, Du Yu immediately slid off the lynx, a layer of Demon Soul emerging in his palm, lightly pressing onto the bark: ”Nameless Tree, do you remember me?”

All was silent, the ancient wood gave no response.

Du Yu: ”I brought the Demon Fruit Tree Heart last time, you even gave me lots of Nameless Fruit, do you remember?”

The next moment, endless branches suddenly descended from the distant sky.

”Meow!” The Desolate Silver Lynx’s gaze was fierce, with a tendency to bristle.

The countless branches, driven by their own will, continued to plunge downward until over twenty meters above the heads of the man and beast, where a bunch of fruit fell.

”Hey, no, I didn’t come for fruit!” Du Yu said, yet his hands didn’t slow at catching the fruit.

His hands pulled at the hem of his clothes, forming a simple pouch.

As the Nameless Tree Fruit dropped with a pitter-patter, Du Yu moved to catch each fruit resembling little green tangerines.

”Enough, enough, not so many!”

After gathering nearly twenty tree fruits, with more scattered on the ground, the endless branches finally retracted.

”I came seeking the Demon Fruit Tree Heart, not for the fruits.” Du Yu picked up a fruit, offering it to the Desolate Silver Lynx’s mouth.

Although Lord Baojun had no plans for offspring, and she didn’t consider any clansmen worthy of her.

As the Nameless Tree was an attributeless demonic plant, demon beasts of all attributes could eat it. It was worth a try, especially as it nourished the body.

”Here! It’s a good thing, others beg for it and can’t have it.” Du Yu weighed the fruit in his hand, gesturing for Baojun to taste it.

The Desolate Silver Lynx opened her mouth, intending to sip away the fruit in her master’s hand.

It was at that moment that the little green tangerine suddenly opened its eyes.

”Meow?”

Du Yu was also startled: ”Demon Fruit Tree Heart?”

”Mm!” The Demon Fruit Tree Heart wore a pitiful look, floating to Du Yu’s face, nudging his head.

It seemed it intended to repeat its old trick, like last time, to scare Du Yu.

Except it hadn’t expected to nearly end up in the big cat’s mouth!

Du Yu scratched his head awkwardly: ”Your disguise is impressive.”

Blame himself for not keeping the Demon Soul external when catching the fruit, otherwise, he should have sensed its presence.

Du Yu summoned the Demon Soul again in his palm, holding the fruit before his face: ”I see you still remember me.”

”Huh?” Little Green Tangerine blinked its eyes, its little mouth slightly open, looking quite curious.

The last time it saw Du Yu, this Human Race boy didn’t even have a Demon Soul and couldn’t communicate with all things in nature.

Little Green Tangerine: ”Golden Leaf.”

”Yes, yes, yes!” Du Yu nodded repeatedly, feeling joyful in his heart, ”The Golden Leaf is at my home now.

It’s living very well and peacefully.

No creatures oppress or torture it anymore; the current Golden Leaf has reached the Celestial Level Minor Achievement Stage.”

”Good, good~” Little Green Tangerine’s voice was cute, like that of a naive child, five or six years old.

”Demon Fruit, I want to ask you for a favor.” As Du Yu spoke, he felt a long tail sweep past his side.

The Desolate Silver Lynx wrapped a pile of tree fruits with its tail and sent them all into Du Yu’s ”big pouch.”

I didn’t know whether to say she followed the rules, or that she had a unique temperament.

She didn’t eat the fruits scattered on the ground; she picked them all up for Du Yu, as if asking him to feed her personally?

Little Green Tangerine: ”What?”

Du Yu: ”I have a Demonic Plant named the Fire Phoenix Tree; it’s my partner and has always taken care of my growth.

Now, it’s reached the end of its cultivation and has no more potential to tap. The Fire Phoenix Tree feels sad and down.

That’s why I’m seeking your help; you can awaken the potential of the Demonic Plant, right?”

”Alright, I will help the tree, and the tree heart is willing to help the tree; the tree heart is also willing to help Du Yu.”

It actually knows my name; it must have been told by Little Fen Yang during a previous task, right?

Happiness came so suddenly that Du Yu almost didn’t react in time.

He had prepared a long speech, planning to persuade tactfully and speak eloquently.

However, the Demon Fruit Tree Heart had already agreed?

”Then... shall I take you home now?” Du Yu held Little Green Tangerine in one hand, ”Is it okay for you to leave the Ten Thousand Plants Garden?”

”Where to?”

”To my home, where the Golden Leaf currently resides. You can also meet your old friend.”

”Oh...” Little Green Tangerine seemed hesitant, turned its face to look at the Nameless Tree, pondered for a while, then responded, ”The tree heart will help the tree, and Du Yu will send the tree heart back.”

”No problem!” Du Yu readily agreed.

”Then let’s go~”

”Let’s go!” Du Yu watched as the Demon Fruit Tree Heart flew into his bag, transforming into an ordinary Nameless Tree Fruit.

He picked up a genuine fruit and handed it to the Desolate Silver Lynx’s mouth: ”Try it; you can eat this one.”

”Meow.” Lord Baojun got his wish and finally tasted the fruit fed by Prince Du himself.

Hmm... the taste is okay.

On the way back, Du Yu made a point of digging up a lot of soil from the mountains and forests and teleported it to the Sea Realm.

Describing it as digging is actually inaccurate.

Du Yu pressed one hand on the ground, activated the Mountain and Sea Bell, expanded it and then retracted it.

In the future, the Fire Phoenix Tree would stand in the center of the Ancient House’s backyard; how could a sandy, rocky ground suffice?

It’s worth mentioning that, looking at over 30 tree fruits in his bag, Du Yu ended up visiting the library and completing the shop’s bounty task.

He had cleared all Demon Spirit Realms below Level 3 of the Ancient Pine Tower, missing only a ring from the Ten Thousand Plants Garden, always feeling like something was missing.

Now it’s perfect!

After handing in 10 fruits, more than 20 were left. He decided to give them all to Li Mengnan and Lin Shiwei.

Yiren had been pregnant for over three months; in another three months, Little Deer would be born. Now was the time to supplement nutrition.

These fruits would be enough for Su the Great Breeder to work their magic and reasonably allocate resources, always escorting Bai Lu and Yiren’s family!

When Du Yu drove away from the Ten Thousand Plants Garden, he couldn’t help but feel full of emotions.

This journey to the Ten Thousand Plants Garden truly yielded great returns.

In the past, he had left good karma with the Demon Fruit Tree Heart, appearing to help others, but actually helping himself too.

Isn’t the blessing here now~

It seems, in future travels far and wide, it is still necessary to accumulate more good karma.

Additionally, upon revisiting the Ten Thousand Plants Garden, no one dared to ”teach Du Yu a lesson” anymore.

The Ten Thousand Plants Garden remained unchanged, with those within still remote from the civilized world and the rule-of-law society; the jungle rule still applied within the garden.

But the Desolate Silver Lynx under Du Yu was itself the embodiment of jungle law.

There wasn’t anyone reckless enough to provoke Du Yu...

As the sun was setting, Du Yu, carrying a bag and bow and accompanied by the Desolate Silver Lynx, knocked on his home’s door.

Unexpectedly, the one answering the door was a Li Mengnan.

”Ah? This... ah?” Du Yu stepped back several paces.

Li Mengnan was tiny, less than a meter tall, her head level with the doorknob.

Having been accustomed to her older brother’s long legs, her suddenly being this small felt unsettling to Du Yu.

”Eep~” Li Mengnan tilted her head slightly, blinking with a smiling expression.

Du Yu: ”...”

Core Demon Skill of the Fire Fox Race·Shadow-Luring Fire Fox!

By reaching Xuan Platinum Quality, the released shadow could transform into anything!

”Du Yu, you’re finally back!”

Li Mengnan ran over, holding a Little Mengnan in her arms, looking frazzled: ”Please take care of Xiaoyan; after I helped her enhance the Shadow-Luring Fire Fox quality, she... uh.”

Prince Yan appeared out of nowhere, suddenly dashing to Li Mengnan’s leg, with a fiery red long tail extending out.

Xuan Platinum·Shadow-Luring Fire Fox!

The shadow fox that popped out transformed into a Little Yang Qingqing.

Little Qingqing, wearing a long dress with an ethereal appearance, not only looked exactly like the original but even imitated her temperament vividly.

Little Qingqing stood with hands behind her back, looking up at Du Yu, yet her posture seemed to look down on all of humanity.

The woman’s faint words were imprinted into Du Yu’s mind through the contract: ”Kneel!”

Du Yu: ???
