I Have a Golden Crow

Isn’t it true that you haven’t even managed to snag a single Acupoint Home?

What’s more, our Lord Baojun even dares to mess with his own master, shoving Du Yu underneath him anytime, anywhere, using him as a human pillow~

Dare your Yue Mountain Lions try that?

”Alright, alright, simmer down.” Du Yu looked at the two black-hearted villain troops, now at each other’s throats, and called out loudly, ”Now, everyone, follow me back.”

Turns out,

The heroes of this world are in cahoots with the dark villain corps.

They might even be the leaders of the black villain army...

”Ruu.”

”Wooh~” The lions and lynxes followed their leader, Du Yu, charging off toward the Peak of All Mountains.

Charging along, they naturally started to calm down as well.

As they drew near the home area, Bai Yujing gave a soft call: ”Nai~”

”Hm?” Du Yu looked up, eyes sweeping far off toward Lion’s Roar Peak.

Atop the mountain, a tall and graceful figure was standing, holding a golden, shiny little lion in her arms, quietly looking down below.

By the girl’s legs, a huge Yue Mountain Lion was lounging leisurely, licking its paw.

Seeing Du Yu returning with his troops, Lin Shiwei’s face lit up with a faint smile.

The Snow Deer general led at the front,

Over forty fierce beasts trailed closely behind.

The scene really was quite epic!

Du Yu patted the Snow Deer’s back, Bai Yujing slowed down, gradually coming to a stop.

The two forces behind also halted and steadied their paws.

Du Yu turned the deer’s head, scanning the lions and lynxes: ”Shen Shen, Mountain Lynx.”

”Ruu.”

”Wooh~” The two clan leaders stepped out from their sides, and came in front of the Snow Deer.

Du Yu said, ”From now on, you can each lead your clans, run wild within this Mountain Realm.

But there are a few things I need to tell you first, so listen up!”

The Divine Divine Race Leader quietly looked at Du Yu, while the Mountain Lynx leader gave a slight nod of the lynx’s head.

Du Yu: ”Your two clans can spar and compete. But, under no circumstances can anyone die!

You can be rivals, but at the end of the day, you’re all my subordinates!

At heart you’re all comrades, and one day, you’ll charge into battle by my side!”

”Ruu!”

”Meow!” Shen Shen and the Mountain Lynx called out loudly in reply.

Du Yu: ”Also, the four Colorful Elephants in Xiangming Valley are your comrades too.

They’re still way too weak right now, so leave them alone for now.

If you run into them in the wild, remember to protect them, not harm them, got it!”

Seeing the reaction of the clan leaders and their kin, Du Yu nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Xiangming Valley already had some new additions.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the kids of Xiang Caicai and Xiang Caicai—them two are still just kids themselves.

The two newly joined Mortal-Level·Little Colorful Elephants were brought in by Li Mengnan and Lin Shiwei.

According to the two girls, these were their New Year’s presents for Du Yu.

Li Mengnan got first in the Four Provinces joint exam, Lin Shiwei got second in the Seven Provinces and One City exam.

Their rewards, of course, were sky-high!

Gotta remember, Du Yu himself once scored first in the Four Provinces joint exam, earning the Divine Artifact· Ice-Colored Jade Marrow Bow.

And for that Seven Provinces and One City runner-up, the reward level needs no elaboration.

The two girls could easily have chosen a Cold Jade- or even Eternal Diamond-level custom Demon Soldier, or a Demon Pet that fit them better and was even stronger.

But somehow, Big Sis and Third Sis must’ve discussed it in private.

This time they came back, each bringing a baby Colorful Elephant, saying it was to help Du Yu strengthen his Colorful Elephant Corps.

This gift really took Du Yu by surprise.

Speaking of which, Du Yu’s own bookroom reward still hasn’t shown up.

Stuff like rings just had to wait for now.

You could tell, making a custom Demon Arrow really takes a lot of time and energy!

For this Demon Arrow to be finished, the Demon Weapon Master that made it probably got drained of all their Primordial Energy...

”Awooo~” Atop the mountain, Jin Cancan let out a babyish roar.

It had some flair,

But not too much.

Jin Cancan’s never been in a Human Race Acupoint Home, hasn’t had access to that kind of top-level treasure for cultivation, but has always grown up under the blessing of the Ancient Demon Saint Jia Rong Grass.

So, even though Jin Cancan isn’t even three months old yet, he’s already an Earth-level Demon Pet.

That’s mostly ’cause he’s little, loves to sleep and mess around—otherwise, Jin Cancan would totally be even stronger.

”Hm?” Sensing something, Du Yu looked up at the peak again.

He saw Lin Shiwei teasing Jin Cancan in her arms, still looking down quietly below.

The mountain breeze gently blew at her stylish short hair.

A lock of hair drifted across her lips, brushing that handsome face.

That heroic vibe...tsk tsk.

For a moment, Du Yu felt like he’d become the little squad leader reporting in after a mission.

And that figure standing atop the mountain, looking down on all below, was the real Grand General.

”Uh.” Du Yu scratched his head. This feeling was really odd.

But Third Sis had never glared at him harshly or given him orders.

Can’t say she always pandered to him, but at least she tried to be gentle...he really couldn’t tell where this feeling came from.

Goes to show, being strong is only temporary.

”Ruu?” Reminded by the Divine Divine Race Leader, Du Yu snapped back to his senses.

He said offhandedly, ”These days, I’ll plant some Demonic Plants in the Mountain Realm and toss in more Demon Beasts for you to hunt.

Alright, off you go.”

At his words, both black villain troops cheered up like crazy!

They’re all carnivores, after all.

No matter how tasty the Ancient Demon Saint Jia Rong Grass’s fruit is, eating it every day would drive anyone nuts...

They’re just not plant-eating creatures—blame the food chain, blame their genes!

”Hiss...”

”Roar~” Amid roars of lions and growls of lynxes, Du Yu spurred the deer, flying up toward the mountain peak.

Watching the Immortal Deer land gently, Lin Shiwei’s gaze was tender as she reached up.

”Nai~” Bai Yujing lowered her head with a beaming smile, nuzzling against the girl’s palm.

Du Yu swung off the deer and walked over to the lounging Xiaoru.

”How’re you doing?” Du Yu knelt by her side, hugging Xiaoru’s big head and giving her a good rubdown.

”Wooh~” Xiaoru squinted in happiness.

”Oh? Just one month left?” Following the message sent via the Demon Soul, Du Yu felt delighted.

”Wooh.” Xiaoru replied softly.

Du Yu’s four generals under the Yue Mountain Lion banner—all as mighty as mountains—had long ago reached the General Level.

Because of that, Xiaoru was pretty huge, and Du Yu honestly couldn’t tell how far along she was in her ”pregnancy.”

But, Lord Demon General’s body awareness was razor-sharp.

Since Xiaoru said she’d be giving birth in a month, Du Yu had absolute faith in her.

”That’s great.” Du Yu kneaded Xiaoru’s furry face. ”When I get back, I’ll bring you some extra meat.”

”Wooh~” Like Bai Yujing, Xiaoru pressed against Du Yu’s hand.

Lin Shiwei smiled at the scene, and said softly, ”You’ve finally liberated the Mountain Realm.”

”Ah, that was all thanks to Qingci.” Du Yu responded as he looked up at the sky.

At that moment, the sky was still packed with dark clouds, and the Mountain Realm was pretty dim.

But those rolling clouds were much, much farther away from the ground than before.

It gave you a sense of ”heaven and earth opening up.”

The Ancient Niuniu clearly still clung to the clouds overhead—maybe thinking, out of sight, out of mind, peace of heart.

Was that why Kui Chou kept his distance from us little folks below?

”I’m thinking of heading over to the Ten Thousand Plants Garden.” Du Yu said.

Lin Shiwei stroked the Snow Deer’s cheek and asked, ”Want to move some Demonic Plants inside?”

”Yep.” Du Yu nodded. ”Last time I went to the Bottomless Pit, I racked up a crazy amount of Points.

Added to what I already had, it’s over fifteen hundred—I’ve been waiting for this day!”

As he spoke, Du Yu got a bit excited: ”I can finally let loose and build my own Demon Taming World!”

Become the master of my own Demon Taming World?

Such grand ambitions—who wouldn’t get excited?

”Sure.” Lin Shiwei smiled. ”I’ll go with you.”

Of course, Du Yu wouldn’t say no.

But as he looked at the girl’s gentle face, he couldn’t help but say with a grin, ”If you faced the world with this attitude, no one would ever fear you.”

”Heh.” Lin Shiwei shot Du Yu a playful glare but didn’t reply.

You’re right, that makes a lot of sense.

The question is,

How could I ever treat anyone else like I treat you?
