...

”Mmm~”

A pleasant hum echoed through the dimly-lit corridor.

”Woo woo~ woo woo...” And accompanying Du Yu’s pleasure was the panicked whimpering of the Evil Soul Dog.

With the faint tremor of the Shadow Gu Tower, even the release of its soul became a luxury for the Evil Soul Dog. All it could do was be sucked into the tower, turning into a special kind of nourishment.

Fu Jianzhou turned his head away, scratching his head awkwardly, not sure what to say.

He finally understood why Master Qing insisted on bringing his little junior brother down to the battlefield.

Fu Jianzhou had never experienced what it feels like to have your soul torn apart, but just by watching and listening, he could tell this method is pure torture!

But when your prey is the enemy, the savage creatures lurking in the Bottomless Pit, there’s really no psychological burden in absorbing their Demon Souls and Spirits.

If the Shadow Gu Tower ever hunts Demon Beasts with normal intelligence for too long, would owner Du Yu’s mindset lose balance?

”Sigh...” Fu Jianzhou felt a bit conflicted, and sighed in his heart.

This was his tenth day accompanying Du Yu in the Bottomless Pit, and this little junior... seemed to have just given up on dignity.

At first, Du Yu was still embarrassed.

Every time he let the Shadow Gu Tower nourish him, he’d try desperately to suppress his trembling body, stifling any strange noises that might come out.

But now?

Who cares, just let it rip!

Whether you pretend or not, honestly, there’s not much difference.

For Du Yu, since Senior Brother Fu had already seen him in this embarrassed state, what could he even do?

Du Yu was just thankful it wasn’t Master Qing who came to the battlefield with him.

Otherwise... uh, now that would be way too embarrassing...

”Heh.” Du Yu let out a comfortable breath, finally calming down.

Fu Jianzhou also turned to look just in time, and seeing Du Yu’s satisfied, blissful face, he just felt... something was off!

Fu Jianzhou was sure Du Yu was a good and kind-hearted kid, especially since the Dust Spirit Deer had vouched for him.

But the problem is...

Your behavior is way too villainous!

To the point that Fu Jianzhou kept feeling like he was raising a Great Demon.

”Alright, let’s head back.” Fu Jianzhou spoke up.

Their daily routine these days was super regular. Three meals at the Demon Pet Center, back to the hotel to rest at night, only entering the battlefield twice each day: once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

In fact, they fought far fewer times than Fu Jianzhou originally expected.

All because of that Shadow Gu Tower in Du Yu’s hand!

Absorbing two Celestial-level Monster Beasts per day was already more than enough.

The Shadow Gu Tower needed time to refine the Demon Souls, and Du Yu needed time to digest the Demon Breath and expand his internal meridians.

So over these ten days, they didn’t actually fight that much. Most of the time was spent either meditating on the spot or just chilling back at the hotel.

”Senior Brother Fu, let’s hunt for one more Celestial-level Monster Beast,” Du Yu said softly, slowly opening his eyes.

Maybe because he was still digesting Demon Breath, he couldn’t control his body, and his voice trembled a bit.

”Hm?” Fu Jianzhou was a bit puzzled, ”The Demon Soul has refined that quickly? Can you actually digest it all?”

”No, it’s not done refining yet, just that I... uh.” Du Yu paused, then said, ”I’m about to break through to Demon Tamer Journeyman Peak.”

Fu Jianzhou: ”...”

It was one thing for the Paper Crane Disciples, but this kid also had the Divine Artifact·Shadow Gu Tower... Ugh, seriously leaving the old-timers no chance at all.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Du Yu scratched his head, ”Senior Brother Fu, help me out, let me absorb one more. Give me one night to refine, I promise I’ll level up!”

As he spoke, a fiery red figure appeared at Du Yu’s forehead.

Fu Jianzhou said softly, ”You should put your Demon Pet away. Right now, your body is dense with Demon Breath, it’s the best time for your Demon Pet to cultivate. I’ll hunt the Demon Beasts for you.”

”Thanks, Senior Brother!” Du Yu planted a kiss on Xiaoyan’s little head, then immediately brought her back into his Acupoint Home.

Little Fen Yang was leading the Fire Demon Breath to course through his body. Every time it passed by the Acupoint Home, Xiaoyan and the Ghost Firefly got a great boost, so there was really no time to waste.

Fu Jianzhou: ”The mid-month will be over soon, and the moon’s not so full anymore.

The Celestial Treasure Race is about to hit their berserk phase, the Bottomless Pit will get even more dangerous, and all the levels will reshuffle.

Master Qing’s mission for me is to let you have a little trial run and spend mid-September here. After you absorb one more prey, it’s time for us to head back.”

”Ah... ah!” Du Yu was reluctant, but he quickly nodded, ”Okay, Senior Brother, I got it.

Thank you for looking after me these days, you’ve been a huge help. I really don’t know how to thank you...”

Fu Jianzhou had his own cultivation and life, and the fact that he was willing to accompany Du Yu for over ten days of training really made Du Yu grateful.

Fu Jianzhou looked at the obedient young man in front of him and felt like Du Yu had two faces.

One was the awe-inspiring, villainous Great Demon.

The other, a gentle, kind little junior brother.

Fu Jianzhou grinned and shook his head, finally giving in: ”Alright, I’ll find you a few more Celestial-level Monster Beasts. Ask your Shadow Gu Tower how many it can handle at most.”
