I Have a Golden Crow

After returning to the car, Du Yu immediately entered the Sea Realm. He arrived at Shatang Mansion but did not see Master Qing’s figure under the tree.

Guided by the Shatang Tree, Du Yu came to the front of the main house and gently knocked on the door: ”Master Qing?”

”Crack~”

The wooden door of the house slowly opened, and the Jinping Vine, like a curtain, lifted to both sides.

Du Yu stepped inside, the large living room was silent, with still no sign of the woman.

”Master Qing?” Du Yu called out once more.

Not far to his left, the bedroom curtain suddenly moved, and the door slightly opened a crack.

”Thank you.” Du Yu looked up and said to the Jinping Vine, once again stepping into Master Qing’s boudoir.

The problem is...

The room was equally silent.

Du Yu was puzzled until he went deeper into the boudoir and finally found his master’s figure in the ancient northern bed.

Was she sleeping?

Master Qing lay on her side, sleeping soundly with her back to Du Yu.

A thin veil draped over the bed, making her silhouette slightly hazy, adding a hint of mysterious beauty to her already graceful figure.

Du Yu stopped in his tracks, completely stunned.

Master Qing was sleeping, which meant she hadn’t allowed him to enter the boudoir!

From start to finish, was it the Jinping Vine acting on its own?

Oh no!

The Jinping Vine was plotting against me!

Du Yu immediately turned around, quietly sneaking away.

Unexpectedly, from within the thin veil, a soft voice suddenly came: ”What’s wrong?”

With sleepiness still in her voice, Master Qing sounded especially gentle.

For a moment, Du Yu couldn’t tell if she had actually let him in.

Unable to figure it out, Du Yu simply decided not to think about it, directly saying: ”Master Qing, I’m in the Mountain Fire Blade Realm, and Tai Sui is already at Celestial Peak. We’re preparing to train.”

”Hmm, go ahead,” Yang Qingqing responded softly, ”I’ll go see the Mountain Fire Saber after some time.”

Du Yu spoke again: ”I want to complete the Mountain Fire Blade Bookstore’s flagship bounty task.

The shopkeeper said, only one person in history has successfully passed the Mountain Fire Blade’s test.”

Upon hearing this, the woman on the bed finally opened her eyes.

Du Yu asked: ”The shopkeeper says this task is extremely dangerous and hopes I’ll be cautious. Master Qing, should I take on this task?”

”Hmm...” Yang Qingqing finally sat up, and as she turned, the thin veil was pulled to the sides by the Jinping Vine.

The woman lazily rubbed her long hair, clearly not having had enough sleep.

She pointed to the distant Eight Immortals Table.

Du Yu immediately walked over, and as he watched Master Qing approach, he picked up the teapot on the table, preparing tea for his master.

Noticing the floral tea was a bit cold, Du Yu activated the Fire Demon Breath, making his palm hot to warm the tea.

Sensing this thoughtful gesture, Yang Qingqing smiled and sat at the table: ”You can try it.”

”Oh?” Du Yu was overjoyed and handed the floral tea over.

Master wouldn’t harm him, of course.

Since she said he could, Du Yu’s already eager heart was unstoppable.

More than the task itself, Du Yu cared that only Master Qing had completed this task in all of Great Xia.

If he could follow in her footsteps and join this elite group, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous honor!

The woman picked up a porcelain cup and took a small sip of tea: ”Most people challenge the Mountain Fire Saber to train their sword skills.”

She looked at the Ice-colored Jade Marrow Bow in Du Yu’s other hand, gesturing for it.

Du Yu handed over the Demon Soldier Bow, Yang Qingqing’s eyes full of admiration.

A few days ago, she had heard that her disciple had obtained a divine artifact, and today she was finally fortunate to see it.

Beautiful.

Dreamlike!

”Practicing long-range and short-range archery isn’t bad either.” Yang Qingqing extended a slender jade finger, gently stroking the bow’s body, her gaze slightly entranced.

It had been a long time since she had seen such a beautiful demon soldier, the Great Xia Western Regions truly worthy of being the rich land of jade.

Even the demonic plants were so distinctive.

Though he had Master Qing’s approval, Du Yu still felt a bit uneasy: ”The shopkeeper said, apart from you, there were more deaths than injuries or disabilities.”

Yang Qingqing played with the flawless jade: ”And then?”

”And then...” Du Yu stammered, hesitating for a moment before asking, ”What is the Mountain Fire Blade’s fury like, and how many rounds do I need to endure?”

However, Yang Qingqing did not answer directly, instead saying: ”The path of the Demon Taming has always been this perilous.”

With that, Yang Qingqing handed back the Ice-colored Jade Marrow Bow.

Du Yu reached out to take it, hearing the woman’s voice beside him: ”Go, properly allocate your team, and utilize each demon pet effectively.”

”Yes.” With these words, Du Yu had no choice but to nod.

Evidently, Master Qing did not intend to give any advice, everything had to be figured out by Du Yu himself.

Yang Qingqing picked up the teacup again, the young figure across the table disappearing in a flash.

Only after Du Yu left did Yang Qingqing lower her head and chuckle.

Injury or death, that was for others.

For you, how could the Mountain Fire Saber strike lethally?

After all, that Mountain Fire Saber is my demon soldier...

Yang Qingqing closed her eyes, connecting through the contract in her mind.

Regarding fury, the Mountain Fire Saber could vent as it pleased; Yang Qingqing would not alter any part of the assessment.

She even suggested the Mountain Fire Saber could be more stringent.

And the only firm directive she gave to the Mountain Fire Saber was: spare her disciple’s life.

Whether this order would be needed was another matter.

After all, Du Yu was surrounded by Divine Pets, just that Dust Spirit Deer alone was far beyond other Great Demon Tamers.
