I Have a Golden Crow

The breeze blew softly, sending a chill upon them, and the pale purple leaves of the Nether Leaf Bead gently swayed.

Such a magical Demonic Plant; the Nether Leaf Small Pearl Cluster didn’t have many, just four or five rows spanning at most 40 meters, yet the cool scent it emitted could cover such a large area.

Little Fen Yang: ”This is the place. Let’s have the Ghost Firefly cultivate here, but don’t let it level up until dawn.”

Du Yu: ”Hmm... what’s this man up to?”

The strong flashlight shone again, flashing continuously at Du Yu.

Du Yu frowned tightly, once again blinded, he used one hand to shield his face while also pointing his flashlight back.

Finally, the light from the other side disappeared, and from the low bushes ahead, a figure stood up: ”Friend, could you please cultivate elsewhere?”

Hearing the deep voice of the middle-aged man made Du Yu irritated.

Soon after, several figures stood up from the bushes, and several strong flashlight beams shone over.

”Alright, stop shining, I’ll move to the edge!” Du Yu turned his back on the light and stepped away.

Unexpectedly, those very words brought him trouble.

”Du Yu?” A somewhat familiar young voice came, with a trace of surprise.

”Heterochromatic Little Fire Fox!” said the girl softly, full of excitement in her voice.

”Ying~” Xiaoyan’s tail hooked around Du Yu’s neck, hanging on his chest, apparently unable to withstand such strong light either.

”Heterochromatic Little Fire Fox? Is it really Squad Leader Du?” Another familiar young voice came through.

Du Yu couldn’t help but pause his steps. Among this group of flashlight people, it seemed there were two acquaintances?

Suddenly, for just a moment, Du Yu didn’t want to go to the edge anymore.

”It might really be!” Lin Shihang’s voice came again, as he shined his flashlight on Du Yu’s back, also spotting the two entwined large tails around Du Yu’s neck.

For a moment, Lin Shihang’s expression was terribly unpleasant.

Every time he saw Xiaoyan, his heart filled with regret.

The faster Xiaoyan’s growth, the better talent he showed, the more Lin Shihang’s regret overflowed, his resentment rose.

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Shihang, spoke respectfully: ”Do you know him?”

”Same batch Paper Crane Disciple,” Lin Shihang snorted, his voice abruptly louder, ”Don’t just stand there stupidly, leave here! It’s best for both of us.”

Under the glare of multiple strong flashlights, Du Yu seemed to be standing in the center of a stage: ”What’s up, is the Demon Spirit Realm owned by your family?”

At this moment, Du Yu was sure, he really didn’t want to leave.

Du Yu was mentally prepared, after all, the Nether Leaf Bead was a special resource, likely surrounded by Demon Beast Race, like just now, the Little Night Mongoose tribe.

Even if there weren’t Demon Beasts, it was very likely humans would be here taking a break, cultivating.

But encountering acquaintances was unexpected.

The unfamiliar girl in the bushes sensed the tense atmosphere, she reached out, wrapping around the handsome young man’s arm, whispering: ”Qi Ming, what’s going on?”

Zhang Qiming’s handsome face showed an unprecedented awkward smile, lowered voice, whispered to his girlfriend’s ear: ”Some slight grudge between classmates, don’t ask.”

”Oh.” The girl nodded obediently, only tightening her hold on Zhang Qiming’s arm.

Lin Shihang gazed at Du Yu’s back, said deeply: ”Du Yu, I’ve been very polite to you. Leave, and let’s pretend we’ve never met.”

Du Yu scoffed: ”What, afraid your aunt will scold you at home?”

Lin Shihang suppressed his anger: ”I’ve given you face, don’t reject it.”

The middle-aged man beside them seemed to realize something.

No matter what identity this person called ”Du Yu” held, from the conversation between them, it was clear this kid was related to the Lin Family and Master Qing.

It wouldn’t be good to treat him like others, directly using force!

”Squad Leader Du!” Zhang Qiming quickly spoke, choosing the timing wisely, right after Lin Shihang’s retort, ”We’re all here to cultivate, since we have some conflict, staying together might lead to trouble.

When it comes to cultivation, safety is paramount, don’t you agree?”

Du Yu moved sideways, stepping into the bushes, as they rustled, he squatted down, hiding amongst them.

From afar, came Du Yu’s voice: ”You’re threatening me?”

Grass!

Zhang Qiming’s facial expression was extremely stiff, watching helplessly as Du Yu vanished into the bushes, recalling the sensation of having an arrow nailed into the back of his head.

He hurriedly said: ”There’s an unwritten rule in the Demon Spirit Realm, this place was occupied by us first, it took quite an effort, we don’t welcome you, please leave!”

From the bushes, Du Yu’s voice returned: ”You want to impose unwritten rules on me?”

Zhang Qiming: ”Huh?”

The pretty girlfriend beside him had a strange expression too, feeling the conversation wasn’t right!

Lin Shihang’s face was dark: ”Not leaving, are you?”

Why would I leave?

Du Yu touched the pale purple leaves of the Nether Leaf Bead before him, initially intending to move to the edge of the bushes, staying clear of the occupying party.

If worse came to worst, he intended to retreat to the forest edge, just to witness the blooming and fruiting of the Nether Leaf Bead, but now?

Since Lin Shihang was here, he definitely couldn’t leave.

The Ghost Firefly Fire Types needed a stable environment for leveling up, he couldn’t just let Lin Shihang stay nearby, eyes watching like a hawk.

”Not willing to leave, then don’t leave!” Lin Shihang immediately summoned Rose Spirit, that little guy, originally supposed to be in bud form, already had a stem body, two hands, and feet, even a second bud head.

Rose Spirit’s evolution, Rose Double Spirit!

Beside Lin Shihang, a black flame slowly rose, unexpectedly a Ghost Firefly Fire Types?

Lin Shihang’s choice of a second Demon Pet surprisingly overlapped with Du Yu’s.

Du Yu: ”Ha, come out for a duel, huh?”

Enraged, Lin Shihang laughed, pointing his long sword forward, two Flower Vines shot out rapidly: ”Alright! I’ll show you how the gap between us widens!”

Du Yu pushed off his foot, sprang from the bushes, rolled to relieve force, and stood up quickly, the Demon Soldier Silver Fire had already been drawn fully.

”Whiz!”

The rapidly shot arrow was instantly slapped down by the turning Flower Vine.

Du Yu pulled his bow again, notched an arrow, the Little Fire Fox on his shoulder quickly gathered a Fireball: ”Earth-level Rose? Growing fast, you’ve stacked quite a lot of Celestial Materials and Earthly Treasures, huh?”

Lin Shihang rushed out from the Nether Leaf Small Pearl Cluster, holding his long sword, charged straight at Du Yu: ”Stop the horse nonsense!”

”Isn’t it coincidental~ we’ve also eaten quite a few good fruits at Master Qing’s House.”

”Ying!”
