I Have a Golden Crow

Regarding the Red Bamboo Courtyard, Yang Qingqing had long heard of it, and her heart was full of longing.

Today, under the guidance of Du Yu, she finally had the fortune to behold the beauty of this courtyard.

Hidden in the quiet little courtyard within the Tai Sui Bamboo Forest, it was a fiery red that wasn’t blinding, with a beauty beyond compare.

The courtyard had scattered leaves, clearly due to a long period of unoccupancy and lack of management, giving it a somewhat desolate air while also adding a touch of forlorn beauty.

”I’m home.” Du Yu stood at the courtyard gate, muttering softly.

For this long-untended courtyard, Du Yu felt a sense of joy.

This meant that since he and his senior brother from Sword Province left, no one else had moved in!

The thought was truly satisfying.

In the Bamboo Grove Realm, to have a courtyard all to himself was quite the status...

Hongye pushed open the courtyard door with one hand, leading the two towards the bamboo house, a hint of self-reproach in her eyes. She slightly turned her head to glance at Du Yu.

The Red Leaf Demon Soul conveyed a message: ”I will clean up right away.”

”No need, no need,” Du Yu hurriedly said, ”I can handle such small matters.”

The Red Leaf Demon Soul: ”Your movements seem a bit stiff, are you having difficulty moving?”

Du Yu: ”...”

I’ve been riding on a deer this whole time, and you could tell?

Passing through the courtyard, Hongye pushed open the door of the bamboo house. Compared to before, at this moment, Hongye no longer needed to stoop, she could pass through the wooden door normally, her physique truly perfect.

It should be noted that the clan leader of the Tai Sui Fire Bamboo Tribe was of Demon General level.

The clan leader, in Du Yu’s eyes, was like a moving ”two-story building,” standing at a height of 6 meters!

The same Demon General, Hongye was only 2 meters tall?

”Master Qing, please come in.” Du Yu dismounted from the deer, looking at the furnishings inside the house, unchanged from when he had left.

Yang Qingqing looked at the red bamboo table and chairs arranged in the central hall and was secretly amazed, softly asking, ”Where do you live?”

On the east and west sides of the hall were two intricately designed red bamboo beds, and Yang Qingqing had a thought of appreciating them.

”Master Qing, you can stay here yourself.” Du Yu thought for a moment, then said, ”I’ll go find a place.”

”Hmm?” Yang Qingqing looked at Du Yu, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of doubt.

Du Yu did want to live with his Immortal Master, but the problem was...

On either side of the hall were just two beds, not even room walls, let alone a screen.

Du Yu said, ”I’m afraid it would be inconvenient for you.”

”Heh.” Yang Qingqing chuckled, and flower stems emerged from her naturally hanging hands.

Soon, two beautifully woven flower leaf walls separated the rooms.

She went to the west side, and the flower vine in her hand was constructing a wardrobe.

It’s truly convenient to be a Wood Element Demon Tamer!

Du Yu opened his mouth, wanting to tell his master that he always stayed on the west bed...

After a moment of hesitation, he still didn’t say anything, and after sending the suitcase to the room on the west, Du Yu, carrying his backpack, headed to the east room.

”Hongye, your physique is really small, isn’t it?” Du Yu sat on the bed, taking out daily supplies from his bag, while asking.

”Ying~” Hongye summoned a short and chunky piece of hollow bamboo, placing it horizontally as a nightstand beside the bed.

Du Yu reached out in surprise, touching the hollow bamboo: ”This?”

Hand-twisting bamboo?

Unlike the flower stems released by the Rose General Spirit, the hollow bamboo was a product pieced together by demon breath.

Little Tai Sui could also summon hollow bamboo as a weapon, but once the bamboo left the hand for a while, it would shatter and disappear.

The main body, Hongye, looked down at Du Yu, her eyes full of gratitude: ”This piece of red bamboo will last for a long time. The Ancient Body has granted me unimaginable abilities.

Thanks to the Burning Sun Golden Crow’s assistance, I’ve recovered the Ancient Bloodline. Perhaps, in the future, I can truly create the Tai Sui Bamboo of the Blessed Tribe.”

Listening to the message delivered by the Demon Soul Hongye, Du Yu couldn’t help but be stirred!

Ancient Body!?

This name sounds so domineering!

”Is your body this small also because of the Ancient Body?”

Hongye: ”Yes.”

Du Yu: ”Is it considered a demon skill?”

Hongye shook her head: ”I believe it is a racial trait. Demon skills, in essence, are driven by demon breath.

Whereas activating the Ancient Body feels more like a bodily instinct and doesn’t consume demon breath.

Just like this little deer, her racial trait is being able to discern the good and evil in the hearts of all living beings.”

Du Yu was quite surprised: ”You know the Dust Spirit Deer race?”

Hongye: ”At our request, the Human Race taught us a lot of knowledge, enriched our learning, and helped us better understand the outside world.”

”I see.” Du Yu silently marveled in his heart. No wonder so many protectors were unwilling to join tribes, choosing to feed, play, sleep, and daze on the outskirts of the Bamboo Grove.

If they joined a tribe, would they have to attend cultural classes?

Du Yu took out a toothbrush and toothpaste from his bag, muttering softly: ”I thought the Ancient Body would be very large.”

”It is indeed large. I just found a way to freely adjust my physique within this racial trait,” Hongye answered in all seriousness, ”In fact, my current body is far larger than the clan leader you’ve seen before.”

”Ah...”

How big must that be, if a bear paw came down, wouldn’t it smash the bamboo house?

Wait!

Du Yu’s eyes lit up, looking at Hongye: ”What is your smallest possible size?”

Hongye: ”My current size is the smallest, this is the closest I can be to the size of ordinary tribesmen.”

Hearing such words, Du Yu thought, unfortunately.

If only it could be a bit smaller, it could be a Chi Bear hat, a Chi Bear pillow.

The current Hongye can only be a Chi Bear’s bed.

Thinking about it, Du Yu looked at Hongye’s round, furry belly. He wondered how it would feel to lie on it?

Would it be more comfortable than the Earth Bear’s belly?

Moreover, if Hongye transformed into its largest form, it would be no less than a small mountain. No matter how much he turned over and rolled around, he wouldn’t fall off, right?

Simply perfect!

After all, what Hongye can do now, Little Tai Sui will be able to do in the future.

In the future, when he entered any Demon Spirit Realm to cultivate, he wouldn’t even need to bring a sleeping bag. With Little Tai Sui, he’d have a big bed wherever he went!

Just the thought of it was delightful~

While packing his things, Du Yu asked, ”What other changes do you have? Tell me in detail, so I can guide Little Tai Sui in the future.”

”Yes.” Hongye bowed respectfully, making Du Yu feel a bit helpless.

However, thinking of Hongye’s attitude and actions as signs of respect for Little Fen Yang, Du Yu could somewhat accept it.

While the man and bear chatted to understand the situation, Yang Qingqing in the west room had already taken care of everything.

In just a few minutes, the woman not only crafted a few pieces of furniture, but with the help of the Flower Vine, she had also neatly organized the items.

She, now wearing a light green dress, opened the flower-leaf woven door.

Yang Qingqing did not disturb the reunion of the master and his pet but pushed open the bamboo wood house door, looking at the courtyard covered with red bamboo leaves.

When she came, she had walked through this vast courtyard and felt the softness of the peculiar bamboo leaves.

Now, she stepped onto it barefoot.

In this secluded Peach Blossom Spring, she seemed to have shed the image of an Immortal Master.

Like a neighbor’s girl, her dignified and steady demeanor slightly eased, her eyes again igniting with curiosity about the world.

Her jade feet softly stepped on the warm red bamboo leaves, feeling the unique texture beneath her, and a slight look of contentment appeared on her face.

The fallen leaves, surprisingly, still carried some warmth.

The red bamboo leaf cloak Du Yu had given her before didn’t have this temperature.

Was it because they were in the Demon Spirit Realm?

She slightly raised her head, gazing at the dense red bamboo forest outside the courtyard that looked like clouds and seas, listening to the rustling sounds and gradually becoming entranced.

Inside the bamboo wood house, Du Yu chatted with Chi Bear, Hongye, for quite some time before tidying up his room.

He walked out the door, ready to clean the courtyard, but saw an unbelievably beautiful scene.

”My heavens.” Du Yu murmured, stopping at the bamboo wood house doorway.

In his view, the courtyard full of fallen red bamboo leaves looked like a huge beautiful carpet, covering the ground.

As for why Du Yu didn’t think it was a carpet when he walked into the courtyard before...

It was because at this moment, the woman standing on it played a finishing touch.

The graceful figure stood with hands behind her back, her long black hair and the hem of her long skirt gently swaying in the breeze.

Every frame was a screensaver!

The woman in the courtyard seemed to sense being watched.

She slightly turned her head, looking towards the bamboo wood house door.

Du Yu suddenly had a thought: Thank heaven, Master Qing’s aura is intact!

Honestly, the bright red with light green is not something just anyone can pull off...

Looking at Du Yu’s expression, Yang Qingqing softly asked, ”What do you want to say?”

”I...uh.” Du Yu stammered a bit, wanting to say she was red with green, but didn’t dare to say it!

Yang Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly: ”Hmm?”

”Nothing, nothing.” Du Yu decisively shook his head, whispering in his heart.

I have so much I want to say!

I even think, you’re missing a sword in your hand, and I’m missing a jug of wine.

If you started sword dancing, wouldn’t it be breathtaking... hmm, never mind.

This king wants to live a bit longer.

Seeing Du Yu’s appearance, Yang Qingqing didn’t press further, casually saying, ”Leave the fallen leaves.”

”Yes.”

Yang Qingqing: ”I didn’t sense anyone around monitoring us?”

”Ah, Master Qing.” Du Yu explained, ”Bamboo Grove is indeed filled with soldiers and surveillance, but those are all outside the Tai Sui Bamboo Tribe.

Every tribe’s interior is considered a private space for the Chi Bears. The Chi Bear race has strong territorial awareness, and the Human Race won’t disturb them.

Last time, Senior Brother Fu and I were even driven out of the territory by a few Chi Bears of the Tai Sui Wind Bamboo...”

”Hmm, okay.” Yang Qingqing nodded gently, feeling quite relieved.

This courtyard was undoubtedly a perfect secluded place for cultivators to cultivate and cultivate their hearts. Du Yu had arranged the itinerary so impeccably that she had no complaints.

”Master Qing, do you want to rest, or should I take you for a tour?”

”Take me to see the Tai Sui Fire Bamboo.”

”Alright.” Du Yu called Bai Yujing, sitting on her back, ”Let’s go, Xiaobai, we’re going out for a stroll. By the way, you can secretly taste these bamboo leaves.”

”Nai?”

”Go ahead, eat. We’re in our yard; no one will know anyway.”

”Nai~” Bai Yujing carried Du Yu forward, lowering her deer head, and picked up a soft red bamboo leaf.

With one bite, she tasted a hint of Fire Demon Breath...

”Pfft.” Bai Yujing shook her head, spitting out half a bamboo leaf.

Not tasty.

Even worse than Fire Phoenix Tree leaves.
