I Have a Golden Crow

Wang Zongying: ”The ring awarded to you by our bookstore headquarters is not only applicable to the South Suburbs Bottomless.”

”Oh?”

Wang Zongying looked at Du Yu with a smile: ”Within the jurisdiction of Ancient Pine Tower City, all Bottomless Bookstores open to demon tamers are compatible with your ring.”

Beside them, Lin Shiwei’s heart couldn’t help but stir.

There is only one Bottomless Battlefield open to the public in Ancient Pine Tower City, which is precisely where they competed before.

That Bottomless Pit happens to face the Twin Tree Realm for novices in the South Suburb, seemingly intertwined with connections in levels and difficulty.

Even though the difficulty of the Bottomless Pit is unlimited, generally speaking, the Bottomless Pit beside the lowest-level Twin Trees should be the easiest to handle.

Ancient Pine Tower has five county-level cities under its jurisdiction, and there are as many Bottomless Pits as there are Twin Trees. Each city has at least one battlefield open to the public.

Lin Shiwei vaguely felt that this precious Library Ring seemed more like ”bait.”

It ingrains a series of benefits such as convenience and free services into Du Yu’s mind, giving him an extra option when considering cultivation locations.

Is the event hosted by the bookstore difficult?

Indeed it is difficult, after all, it is a team versus hundreds of people, but this is only on paper.

In reality, the large and complex underground maze disperses and scatters personnel, making it far easier for Du Yu’s team to break out of the Bottomless Pit than imagined.

In comparison to the real reward tasks at the South Suburbs Bottomless Bookstore, it is definitely incomparable. Yet the bookstore headquarters still gave the ring—without stinginess, a genuine Golden Ring!

Wise as Lin Shiwei, she quickly grasped the meaning in a few moments.

The Demon Spirit Bookstore is encouraging Du Yu to go to the battlefield!

Is this a consensus among certain classes? It currently seems targeted at Du Yu, but will it be aimed at all Paper Crane Disciples in the future?

In a nutshell, this group of Paper Crane Disciples is indeed extraordinarily excellent.

As Lin Shiwei pondered quietly, Du Yu had already thanked and bid farewell to Wang Zongying on the other side.

”Thank you, Brother Wang. Sorry to trouble you.”

”Train well after you go back. You should also have been pre-admitted to the Demon Spirit Academy. I look forward to your growth. In the future, we might meet more often.” Wang Zongying encouraged with a smile, softly patting Du Yu’s shoulder.

”Absolutely, absolutely, what about Li Mengnan?” Du Yu gestured outside the door.

”She should have settled down. I’ll take a look.” Wang Zongying led them through the corridor and carefully opened the door.

At the center of the room, Li Mengnan continued to stand quietly, but her expression was no longer grim.

”Mengnan, how are you feeling?” Wang Zongying spoke kindly, the change in addressing her was smooth and not abrupt at all.

Such is typical of organizational people; a few meetings, completing tasks, and leaving behind good relations that should be left.

”I should be fine.” Li Mengnan’s voice was hesitant as she looked down in front of her, ”It seems like it was subdued by me and calmed down.”

”That’s good, remember not to have mercy.” Wang Zongying moved aside to signal Li Mengnan to come out, ”It’s a special species, just being nice to it isn’t enough, you must thoroughly conquer it.”

”Got it, thanks Brother Wang.” A sweet smile emerged on Li Mengnan’s face, she returned to her radiant self, seemingly fine now.

”Let’s go, I won’t see you off.” Wang Zongying waved them off, ”I look forward to you coming back to claim your prize!”

”Ha ha ~ Great.”

”Alright, Brother Wang, goodbye!” Du Yu was walking ahead, but kept turning around to wave his hand.

”Hiss!” Suddenly, a hissing roar echoed, and accompanying it was a human-shaped outline made of lightning, clawing its way out and banging its head against the wall.

With a heavy thud!

Just as Du Yu turned to wave his hand, he felt a harsh hit on his side by the Demon Breath Battle Robe, which trembled slightly and sent him directly into the wall.

An ambush?

”Ah!” Li Mengnan was startled and quickly backed away, her face full of regret, ”Are you alright, Du Yu? Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention...”

”I’m really served by this slippery guy.”

Du Yu grinned, turned to Li Mengnan, while the Electric Soul Imprisonment had already merged into the girl’s body, disappearing without a trace.

Why target me when Lin Shiwei is right here?

Li Mengnan: ”Du Yu?”

”It’s fine, it’s fine, the robe didn’t break, it’s too weak.” Du Yu felt terrible inside, quietly mumbling, ”Really despicable, although quite fitting for our gang?”

Lin Shiwei: ”...”

Immediately behind them, Wang Zongying’s voice offered a stern reminder: ”Strike hard and teach harshly, never hold back!”

Lin Shiwei looked at Li Mengnan and suggested, ”Better to force the Electric Soul Imprisonment out now and teach it a lesson on site, that way it will remember more clearly.”

Passing on her nurturing experience, Lin Shiwei thought she would have to elaborate, only to find Li Mengnan already prepared with her long sword, arraying the Demon Arrow Array!

This scene prompted Lin Shiwei to slightly raise her eyebrows.

Our gang leader is quite ruthless, isn’t she?

”Hiss!” Half of the silhouette darted out from Li Mengnan’s front, crackling with electricity, quite formidable!

”Hiss!” The Demon Soldier Sword, shimmering with dazzling sword light, directly penetrated the Electric Soul Imprisonment’s back!

”Hiss... hiss!!!”

”Who told you to hit Du Yu? I said you could only hit when I say so!” Li Mengnan wielded her long sword frantically, slicing the electric figure into pieces in front of her face.

”Hiss... hiss...” The Electric Soul Imprisonment howled in agony, its cries echoing through the fourth-floor corridor.

One by one, office doors opened as staff curiously peeked out.

Only to witness Li Mengnan moving forward, gripping the sword in reverse, madly stirring the air in front of her, muttering, ”Not listening, I’ll make you listen!”

”Hiss~ Woowoo...” The Electric Soul Imprisonment was completely subdued.

Unable to break free from the advanced contract, nor able to escape, under the unique rules of companionship, the owner forbade it from retreating into the body.

The lightning element that composed its body grew thinner and thinner...

”Whoosh,” all of a sudden, the lightning outline finally contracted back into Li Mengnan’s body, its owner at last showed some mercy.

”Humph!” Li Mengnan snorted coldly, using the sword tip to press the elevator button, turned to Du Yu, her gaze turned to concern, ”Are you really okay?”

Du Yu shook his head repeatedly, looking innocent: ”No problem.”

”That’s not acceptable.” Li Mengnan glanced down at her chest, the concern in her eyes vanished, and her expression turned grim again, ”Let’s get downstairs first. I’m not done yet!”

Du Yu secretly clicked his tongue, turned to Lin Shiwei: ”Is this alright?”

Lin Shiwei slightly shook her head: ”This is a necessary phase in nurturing. While the Electric Soul Imprisonment is still at the Mortal Level, you must establish rules or the consequences will be unimaginable.”

As the elevator doors opened, the trio stepped inside.

”Don’t worry.” Lin Shiwei stood by Du Yu and said, ”The imprisoned race naturally exhibits behaviors to showcase their abilities, constantly thinking of seizing bodily control, enslaving the host.

When I first contracted the Flame Soul Imprisonment, I would occasionally pull it out just to beat it.”

Li Mengnan’s eyes lit up, she turned to Lin Shiwei: ”Good idea! Whether right or wrong, beat it first without discussing.”

Lin Shiwei expressed approval: ”Some alien races are not worth loving or respecting, as long as you subdue them, you’ll feel comfortable, and so will they.”

”Yes, yes, I also read online...”

Listening to the girls exchange ”domestic violence” experiences, Du Yu felt uneasy and instinctively took a step back.

However, with the elevator space so small, even this subtle action drew eyes from both girls.

”It’s nothing,” Du Yu smiled awkwardly, ”We’ve arrived at the ground floor, let’s hurry out, hurry out...”
