I Have a Golden Crow

It could be heard that Little Fen Yang helping Demon Beasts unlock their Ancient Bloodlines requires a certain cost, likely directly related to the strength of Little Fen Yang’s Demon Soul.

Little Fen Yang continued, ”Go have her get us some tasty food, I’m hungry!”

”Senior Brother Fu’s bag has cookies, I’ll sneak some out for you to eat.”

”No, no, I want to taste the fruits that the Chi Bears eat every day.”

Du Yu scratched his head, placed Xiaoyan on the ground, and turned towards Hongye.

Hongye, sitting quietly on the ground cultivating, turned her head at the sound of footsteps: ”Ying?”

Without the Demon Soul to transmit messages, she naturally was just a ”Yingying Monster”...

Du Yu clasped his hands together and offered a Buddhist bow: ”Could you please help me find some fresh fruits, the kind you eat every day.”

Hongye was startled, clearly realizing something!

Don’t be deceived by her foolishly cute exterior; having reached Spirit Level Peak in strength, she was naturally not simple-minded.

Although her contact with Du Yu was short, she communicated with him through her Demon Soul.

In such a situation, she slightly perceived the character of this Human Race teenager.

Gentle and kind.

This was Hongye’s first impression of Du Yu.

When the Human Race boy realized the Bamboo House was built overnight by the Chi Bears, his heart was already full of gratitude.

Considering the character of this Human Race teenager, it was unlikely he would ask for more at this time.

In other words...

This was very likely requested by the Ancient Golden Crow inside the boy!

”Ying!” Hongye immediately got up, casually grabbed her Fiery Red Bamboo Staff which appeared silently.

She performed a pole vault, her round body leaping over the bamboo fence of the courtyard.

Landing steadily, she marched forward.

Last night, more than thirty Tai Sui Bamboo Tribe clan leaders gathered, with all the Tai Sui Fire Bamboo Race leaders in attendance, and other Attribute Tribes sent several clan leaders as representatives.

The Bamboo Grove hadn’t held such a grand meeting in a long time.

After the clan leaders held an overnight meeting, she, consistently top-ranked on the Spirit List for several seasons, was selected and sent here.

Ancient Golden Crow, a race from mythical stories.

When young, Hongye heard stories from the elders in her clan, much like making Tai Sui Bamboo, things that only existed in legends.

And now, a creature from mythology descended without warning into the Bamboo Grove.

This not only confirmed the authenticity of the Chi Bear Race’s stories passed down through generations but also suggested to Hongye, in an evidence-based way, that the Chi Bear Race might truly be capable of crafting Tai Sui Bamboo!

The Chi Bear Race had long been without a Demon Saint.

Ancestors be praised!

This Ancient Golden Crow from myth could be the key to the Chi Bear Race’s revival.

As for contracting with humans, Hongye originally had some reluctance, but she yearned even more to carry the banner of her race, leading the tribe to fulfill the dreams unmet by successive generations.

It was a pity she wasn’t in this tribe.

Yesterday, at the Crow’s request, the clan leader immediately handed the most talented Chi Bear in the tribe to the Human Race teenager.

However, there’s still a chance!

The tribe’s clan leader said, the Human Race boy still had a vacancy in his Acupoint Home.

So... want to eat fruits?

Take as much as you like!

”Wait a moment.” Du Yu didn’t plan to gather the Demon Soul for now, for fear of being interrupted.

He thought for a moment, sat cross-legged on the ground, and summoned Little You Ying.

”Hmm?”

The little creature, holding a torch comparable to her own body size, surrounded by mysterious runes, looked up at Du Yu.

Du Yu patted Little You Ying’s head: ”You’re now at the Heavenly Level, and you can learn Celestial-level Demon Skills!”

”Hmm!” Little You Ying happily jumped, connected two rune steps, and raised the torch in front of Du Yu’s face, waving it ecstatically.

”Stop!” Du Yu grabbed the torch, leaning backward to avoid the stinky egg breath, ”Let’s learn the Demon Skill first! Obey!”

”Hmm.” Little You Ying blinked, calming down considerably.

”That’s more like it.” Du Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Demon Beasts at Mortal Level and Earth Level can practice two Demon Skills. After reaching the Heavenly Level, they can practice one skill.

Celestial Level·Glowing Firefly Doll can learn a skill called ”Ghost Fire Talisman·Guard”.

Du Yu reached down, trying to touch the slowly circling runes.

The mysterious runes, entirely composed of luminescent green flames, felt cool to the touch, similar in texture to the fireball on the torch.

Du Yu: ”Try infusing the runes with energy, treating them as your shield.”

”Hmm?”

Du Yu got up, looked around, and picked up a small stone from the ground, weighing it in his hand: ”Use the runes to protect yourself!”

With that, Du Yu stepped back a few paces and threw the small stone at the Ghostly Firefly Doll.

”Whoosh~”

The small stone perfectly pierced through a flame rune, also passing through the body of the Ghostly Firefly Doll shrouded in black mist, bouncing far away.

The Ghostly Firefly Doll, holding the large torch, peeked her head out from behind, looking at Du Yu in bewilderment.

Master, what are you doing?

All over my body, apart from black mist and firefly light, I also possess the Wind Attribute; could a small stone hit me?

Feeling the emotions from the contract, Du Yu rolled his eyes; this little troublemaker couldn’t even be bothered to gather a Demon Breath Battle Robe?

”Xiaoyan!”

”Ying!” Xiaoyan ran out of the house, chased by the Pear Blossom Fox and Little Tai Sui.

Du Yu pointed in the direction of the Ghostly Firefly Doll, ”Fox Tail Flowing Flame!”

”Ying?” Xiaoyan tilted her head, are you serious?

Foolish Monarch?

”Hmm~” Little You Ying pouted, looking pitifully at Du Yu.

”Adjust the power, lower it to the minimum,” Du Yu commanded, then turned his eyes to the Ghostly Firefly Doll, ”No dodging, inject energy into the rune to block the flame attack!

Don’t be afraid, this Demon skill is easy to learn. It doesn’t require any technique, you just need to instinctively protect yourself!

Go on, Xiaoyan!”

”Ying!” Xiaoyan extended a long tail, its tip aimed at Little You Ying, and a thin flame thread shot out.

Little You Ying, holding the big torch, closed her eyes tightly, following her master’s instructions, trying hard to inject Demon Breath into the rune.

”Whoosh~”

Within the slowly circling rune ring, the rune facing the enemy suddenly expanded in size.

It transformed from the original ”small biscuit” size to a ”brick” size!

Once the rune enlarged, its shape became much clearer, resembling a ”δ”.

This symbol, seemingly with a gap, miraculously blocked the flame thread.

”Great job, You Ying!” Du Yu loudly praised, ”Keep it up, Xiaoyan!”

One after another, thin flame threads shot out.

With Little You Ying standing in place holding the torch, the surrounding runes expanded one after the other, like shields, guarding the Ghostly Firefly Doll within.

”Xiaoyan, put some pressure on You Ying, circle around and shoot!”

”Ying!”

”Hmm~”
