I Have a Golden Crow

The elevation of Chi Bear·Houtu to the Demon Saint Level was far more difficult and time-consuming than Du Yu had imagined.

Thanks to Houtu, on the third day, a violent fluctuation of Demon Breath was emitted from Yang Qingqing’s body.

It wasn’t that Emperor Qing was advancing, but rather the Rose Emperor Spirit within her.

This rose had experienced a troubled fate, once on the brink of death, with only its Demon Soul lingering.

Finally, in this special environment, the Rose Emperor Spirit initiated a fierce advancement stage, bravely catching up and stepping towards the Demon Emperor·Minor Success Stage.

Its name was ”Holy Flower,” said to have been named by Yang Qingqing when she first encountered it.

It also represents the owner’s high hopes for it.

Currently, it seems the Holy Flower has not disappointed its owner, regardless of the severe setbacks it experienced, the Holy Flower continues to move forward with effort.

It’s worth mentioning that Yang Qingqing’s Demon Pet·Heaven Returning Wood is named ”Holy Wood.”

Hmm... this kid Master Qing has always had considerable ambitions since a young age~

After all, this pair of flora was Yang Qingqing’s first and second demon pets contracted during the Demon Taming Prentice Tier.

At that time, Master Qing was still ”Little Master Qing,” only 10 or 11 years old?

Du Yu really wanted to see what Little Master Qing looked like back then...

She must have been adorable, right?

It’s a pity that, despite their long acquaintance, and Du Yu’s prolonged stay at Master Qing’s house, he had never seen any photos of her, let alone childhood ones.

On the fourth day, an incident occurred by the Crescent Lake shore.

While countless Chi Bears were focused on their cultivation, they were also secretly hoping for Elder Houtu’s breakthrough and advancement.

However, on this night, the usually quiet Houtu suddenly let out a bear’s howl: ”Wooh!”

At that time, Du Yu was meditating beside Master Qing. Upon hearing the enormous sound, he instinctively looked up.

”Wooh! Wooh!!” Houtu roared several more times, with a deep voice.

Immediately after, the ground trembled slightly, as a full 11 giant Chi Bears stood up and began moving in all directions.

Du Yu was somewhat puzzled and looked to the side, ”Hongye, what’s going on?”

Suppressing her inner excitement, Hongye enveloped Du Yu with her Demon Soul, ”Elder Houtu is making the final sprint!”

”Where are those Chi Bears going?”

”Those are the clan leaders of various Earth Bamboo Tribes. According to Elder Houtu’s instructions, they are going back to fetch Tai Sui Earth Bamboo.”

”Oh.” Du Yu nodded, suddenly inspired, and contacted in his mind, ”Baojun, Baojun?”

”Yes.” In the Acupoint Home, the Desolate Silver Lynx responded lazily, disturbed from her nap.

”Wake up, will you?” Du Yu gently called out.

”What, going for a kill?” The Desolate Silver Lynx stretched with satisfaction.

”Not quite, there’s a superb cultivation environment here; want to come and enjoy the benefits?” Du Yu conveyed his thoughts.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be 11 pieces of Tai Sui Earth Bamboo here, coupled with the one inside Chi Bear Houtu, that makes 12 pieces in total!

Each piece of Tai Sui Earth Bamboo is the Mother of the Demon Spirit Realm!

What does that mean?

Even Du Yu, with his Shadow Gu Tower, would have to admit being outshone!

”Not killing?” Baojun, just done stretching, collapsed back like a puddle of mud.

”You foolish monarch!” Du Yu said helplessly, ”Get up quickly; it’s time to benefit!”

The Desolate Silver Lynx had two nicknames, and Du Yu didn’t use ”Foolish Monarch” that often.

Upon hearing this nickname, the Foolish Monarch was instantly unhappy.

”Hoo~”

A dense wave of Demon Breath flowed out from behind Du Yu.

A colossal beast gradually formed, her two claws landing beside Du Yu’s sides as she lowered her head to gaze at the tiny human beneath.

”Gulp.” Du Yu swallowed.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he leaned back to look at the dreadful beast head above.

Those vertical pupils emitted a faint glow in the pitch-black night.

The low growl lingered in Du Yu’s ears, accompanied by a fierce aura enveloping his body.

Even Hongye at the side contemplated taking action!

Du Yu immediately floated up and flipped over to sit on her big head, pinching her pointed ear with one hand, ”Don’t act up, be good.”

”Hm.” Surprisingly, the Desolate Silver Lynx didn’t say much.

She merely snorted coldly, then scanned the surroundings, eventually fixing her gaze on Houtu.

”Yes, this Chi Bear is about to elevate to a Demon Saint.” Du Yu whispered in her ear, ”In a bit, I’ll find you a nice spot, just keep quiet and don’t distract them.”

The Desolate Silver Lynx’s gaze was deep, seemingly plotting something.

Before long, enormous Chi Bears emerged continuously from the ground.

They drew earth-brown gigantic bamboo wood from within themselves and then plunged them into the ground.

With the Tai Sui Green Bamboo as the center, a total of 12 Tai Sui Earth Bamboos formed a circular formation, surrounding the Mother Bamboo and Houtu.

”Let’s go.” Du Yu whispered, and the Desolate Silver Lynx made her way softly.

The master and pet pair waded through the river of Chi Bears, shamelessly squeezing forward.

The Little Chi Bears along the way indeed became like soccer balls.

With each step Baojun took, several were kicked away...

The ”soccer balls” felt aggrieved, dared not vent their anger, but could only wait until the bully cat moved past before rolling back to their original spots.

Upon arriving by the Earth Bamboo array, the master and pet duo halted.

”Let’s stay here, better not go in... huh?” Just as Du Yu spoke, he suddenly found himself unsteady.

With the Desolate Silver Lynx lowering her head, Du Yu landed on the ground.

Next, a giant cat paw descended from above, pinning Du Yu to the ground.

Du Yu: ”...”

Slowly, as the cat paw shifted, Du Yu, under the soft pad, was dragged beneath the Desolate Silver Lynx.

Luckily, the grass by Crescent Lake was lush, sparing Du Yu from much pain while being flattened and dragged.

If it were on a gravel surface, the Demon Breath Battle Robe might have made scraping noises...

”Why not resist?” The colossal beast slowly lay down, pressing the tiny human beneath her.

Du Yu rolled his eyes, muttering, ”I really owe you, finding you such a good cultivation place, and still have to be your cushion.”

Lord Baojun’s whispery voice echoed in Du Yu’s mind: ”You promised me at the bottom of the Bottomless Pit, remember?”

”Uh.” Du Yu was immediately caught off guard, it seemed there really was such a thing?

”Hmm...” The Desolate Silver Lynx let out a deep breath, lying softly on the ground, its long tail sweeping back and forth.

Comfortable~

The only unsatisfying thing was that the tiny human below had already accepted reality and no longer struggled in resistance.

This lost a bit of fun.

But that’s okay, compared to having him under me, enjoying the feeling of complete possession...

Whether he struggles or not is not very important.

”Don’t just lie there!” urged Du Yu, ”Quickly absorb the Earth Demon Breath, quickly cultivate!”

Desolate Silver Lynx: ”Shh.”

This command to silence was frustrating to Du Yu.

Cats are really annoying, aren’t they?

Dogs are better!

Look at Hu Xiaoyan, so obedient~

Under the night sky, the Desolate Silver Lynx lazily licked its silver claws, shifted slightly to find a more comfortable position, and then began to cultivate.

Du Yu never would have expected that he would be used as a cushion for a full four days!

Four days!!!

It’s like being punished under some sort of Administrative Punishment Law, isn’t this akin to detention for less than five days?

Moreover, even in detention, prisoners have the right to eat, sleep, and get some fresh air!

You this...

Luckily, Du Yu was a Demon Taming General, able to survive motionless as long as there was energy in the world.

Otherwise, he might really be imprisoned to death by Baojun.

As for Du Yu’s eventual release, it wasn’t due to good behavior, but because the Desolate Silver Lynx had advanced!

Yes, Thick Earth was still repeatedly hammering away at the chains of the Demon Emperor·Peak Stage, but the Desolate Silver Lynx at the Demon Emperor·Initial Stage had already broken through the level’s shackles.

Stuck in the little black room, Du Yu felt the tremor of the Desolate Silver Lynx’s body and was ecstatic!

Does it really advance?

The Desolate Silver Lynx leveled up the day of Du Yu’s final assessment, which was August 1st, and now it’s early November.

In less than three and a half months, to advance from the Demon Emperor Initial Stage to Minor Success Stage!

What kind of talent is this?

Truly a Heterochromatic Demon Pet, thanks to the Twelve Earth Bamboo Array!

Of course, one cannot forget the nourishment from the Shadow Gu Tower, and the help from Little Fen Yang and the Cinnabar Red Demon Flame.

”Haha!” Du Yu vigorously rubbed the soft belly of the Desolate Silver Lynx, the gloom of being detained vanished!

Wonderful!

The Desolate Silver Lynx was unmatched among all of Du Yu’s Demon Pets, being truly brutal and extremely fierce.

With its tail wrapped around the Lion Bone Scythe, it killed like harvesting wheat!

This kind of creature, the damage it can cause and the blow to enemy morale when facing the Youhan Army is unimaginable.

If one day, it really becomes a Saint...

”Mmm~” The Desolate Silver Lynx let out a satisfying nasal sound, its Demon Breath wavering and gradually settling down.

It slowly opened its eyes, pupils fierce.

The brilliant glow within, dissipated after a long while.

”Baojun?” The master’s voice came into its mind, ”Get up, let me have a good look at you.”

The long silver tail slowly slipped under its belly, picking up the tiny human.

The Desolate Silver Lynx crossed its silver claws, holding them in front, enclosing Du Yu within its body and arms.

It then lowered its beastly head, extending a pink tongue, gently licking Du Yu.

”Ugh.” Du Yu pushed against the giant tongue with both hands, retreating until being stopped by the overlapping giant claws.

”Congratulations...ugh, you’ve advanced.” Du Yu said half-heartedly, due to fighting against the giant tongue, he switched to contractual communication.

Desolate Silver Lynx: ”You summoned me out, wasn’t it for me to level up?”

Du Yu: ”Ah?”

Desolate Silver Lynx: ”I just completed the task you assigned.

Just like every time you summon me, I complete the task, nothing special.”

Du Yu: ”...”

This is so domineering?

I really... like you more and more!

Desolate Silver Lynx ”hmmphed” with a hoarse voice: ”As it should be.”

Good graces~

Du Yu widened his mouth; if this keeps developing, Lord Baojun will not just be domineering.

It’s becoming a king of pressure, isn’t it?

”Congratulations, Xiaoyu.” Within the range of the Desolate Silver Lynx’s arms, next to its giant tongue, a skinny figure emerged from the ground.

”Elder Langao.” Du Yu struggled against the giant tongue, making time to look at the old lady beside him.

Langao smiled: ”My lynx has been stuck at the Demon Emperor·Peak Stage for a long time. Who knows, maybe your lynx will advance first and pass on some experience to me.”

”Elder Langao is joking...” Du Yu’s words paused, the Desolate Silver Lynx also paused, Langao suddenly turned and looked up.

A giant wave of energy rippled out!

In the layered waves of air, was the triumphant roar of Thick Earth: ”Woo~~~”

”Woo~”

”Woo~~~” Instantly, the endless cries of the Chi Bears resonated, shaking the bamboo forest.

Twin Tree Calendar, November 998,

Bamboo Grove·Chi Bear Tribe, finally catching up to the ancestors’ footsteps!

Earth Bamboo Chi Bear·Thick Earth, after hundreds of years, represents the entire Chi Bear race, ascending back to the Demon Saint position!
