I Have a Golden Crow

The master and disciple pair arrived in the Shatang Courtyard. By now, Celestial Cyan Porcelain had already woken up.

She turned her massive dragon body around, lowering her head to look at the pair of tiny humans before her.

Du Yu spoke up, asking, ”Qingci, shall we head out now? Just so happens Master Qing is free.”

”We can.”

Du Yu’s heart skipped a beat and he glanced at Yang Qingqing. ”Should we have a Shatang Fruit before we go?”

Celestial Cyan Porcelain stretched out her dragon beard, lifting Du Yu’s chin so he had to look up and meet her gaze. ”If you eat the Shatang Fruit, my Demon Skill won’t work on you, and I won’t be able to keep you safe in the sea.”

”Oh... in that case, let’s skip it.” Du Yu tilted his head a little, feeling this posture was a bit weird.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain’s dragon eyes were uncommonly gentle as she softly replied, ”Alright.”

This decision of Du Yu’s was an incredible show of trust in her!

You could even say he was putting his little life in her hands.

After all, judging by Du Yu’s roster of Demon Pet Demon Skills, he definitely didn’t have the ability to survive on the sea floor.

Off to the side, Yang Qingqing wore a knowing smile—just from their few words, she could pretty much guess what this human and his pet were talking about.

Her figure slowly floated up. ”Let’s go.”

As Du Yu floated into the air, he tossed his car keys and phone to Shatang. ”Let Mengnan grab the cake and juice, and share them with the Demon Pets.”

”Shasha~” The Shatang Tree swayed gently, bidding its master farewell.

Behind Du Yu, Celestial Cyan Porcelain coiled her dragon body beneath herself and followed tightly.

Don’t think Dragon Turtles just show off in the sea. In reality, Qingci was a bona fide ”land, air, and sea” triple-threat warrior!

Once they reached the sea reef, the master and disciple landed steadily on the rocks.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain, meanwhile, swept past their heads and dove right into the ocean.

”Poof~”

”Poof!” The next moment, two water dragons shot out, heading straight for Du Yu.

Du Yu instantly stretched both hands forward, full of anticipation.

Ever since he learned about Qingci’s Demon Skill, he’d been dying to try this ”Wandering Dragon Dance.”

Here’s the fun bit: this Demon Skill’s effect was pretty much the same as Rotten Wood Dragon Fish’s Demon Skill—Fish Dragon Dance.

The only real difference was how it looked on the outside.

Yang Qingqing stood on the reef, and a shoal of exquisite Little Dragon Carp appeared, circling around her.

In an instant, her long hair and dress floated up and drifted in the air.

Even though she hadn’t entered the water, it felt as if she was already underwater.

Demon Skill·Fish Dragon Dance: ”Domain Battle Skill, summons a swarm of Rotten Wood Dragon Fish to construct your own battle field.

Little Dragon Carp are both offense and defense: they can shield and also charge enemies.

With the Little Dragon Carp’s protection, the Demon Tamer can travel freely through sky and sea.”

That’s how the Demon Spirit Atlas described Demon Skill·Fish Dragon Dance.

Du Yu honestly thought Wandering Dragon Dance and Fish Dragon Dance were the same Demon Skill, just with different names for various reasons.

Of course, expecting the same name was a bit much.

There were no more Dragon Turtle Race left in the world—people probably didn’t even know such creatures existed.

The only remaining Dragon Turtle in the world was with Du Yu.

”Gentle! Be gentle, okay?” Du Yu kept reminding.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain silently watched Du Yu, feeling a sliver of guilt in her heart.

All along, she’d treated Du Yu with utmost care, super gentle and cautious.

The only accident had been moments ago under the tree.

She’d unintentionally tightened her dragon beard just a tad, and Du Yu’s Demon Breath Battle Robe had started snapping and popping apart...

So right now, Celestial Cyan Porcelain was even more careful, treating Du Yu like something fragile.

”Feels like a dream,” Du Yu murmured to himself, watching his own outstretched hands. The two Little Wandering Dragons were already winding around him.

They were completely formed of water, about a meter long, coiling around Du Yu as they slowly moved.

Excellent!

This king can finally head into the sea~

While Du Yu could fly through the air or burrow through the ground, he’d never cruised across the great sea before.

With the two Little Wandering Dragons guiding him, he floated to the water’s surface and slowly submerged down into the ocean.

The seawater was icy cold, kind of refreshing, actually?

”Blub blub~”

Du Yu blew a string of bubbles out of his mouth, finding it all quite fascinating.

Water definitely has resistance.

But Du Yu felt like he was floating in outer space—if not for those bubbles reminding him he was underwater.

”No need to breathe, the Wandering Dragons will take care of you.” Celestial Cyan Porcelain nudged Du Yu with her giant nose.

Looking at the tiny human blowing bubbles before her, a soft smile even fluttered within her enormous dragon eyes.

Du Yu nodded lightly. Even though he didn’t need to breathe with his lungs now, the two Wandering Dragons collected oxygen from the water and pressed it right into his skin, delivering it inside him.

He grabbed her dragon beard with one hand, Demon Soul glowing in his palm. ”I can’t move on my own.”

Just like when activating Demon Skill·Mountain Earth Concealment, if Du Yu wanted to go somewhere underground, he had to direct the Big Cat and have Baojun carry him along.

The problem was, Du Yu didn’t have any spare Acupoint Home left at the moment, nor had he signed a Contract with Celestial Cyan Porcelain.

The two Wandering Dragons were, of course, actually controlled by Celestial Cyan Porcelain.

If Du Yu wanted to move in the sea, he had to make physical contact and send information using his Demon Soul.

”I’ll take you,” the dragon beard automatically wrapping around Du Yu’s waist.

Nearby, Yang Qingqing swam to the top of the dragon head, looping one arm around Qingci’s dragon horn.

The three of them gradually moved away from the shore, diving diagonally downward.

The deeper they went, the darker it grew.

Slowly, Celestial Cyan Porcelain, that exquisite porcelain dragon, actually began to emit a faint glow.

Then, from her enormous Dragon Turtle body, countless streaks of teal-blue light diffused outward in all directions, like glowing candles wavering in the dark sea.

The cyan candlelight was gentle and yet very penetrating, able to illuminate dozens of meters around them.

Bathed in the sea of light, Du Yu and Yang Qingqing found their vision opening up wide.

”Mm~” Yang Qingqing closed her eyes, looking utterly at ease.

”Blub blub,” Du Yu half-opened his mouth, feeling totally comfortable all over.

So relaxed. So pleasant.

The soft candlelight nourished not only his body, but his soul as well.

Demon Skill: Sea Dragon Candle!

This wasn’t some mere lighting skill—light was just a lovely side effect.

The real power of this Demon Skill was its ability to heal all living things!

Any living thing touched by the glow of ”Sea Dragon Candle” would gradually recover over time.

In the Demon Taming World, there were six major attributes, and as for Demon Skills that heal, they were most commonly found among the Wood Attribute and Water Attribute skills.

Up till now, Du Yu was most familiar with Wood Element healing skills—Heaven-Returning Tree Cocoon and Hollow Bamboo Shoot, for example.

This was his first time experiencing a Water Element healing Demon Skill.

It felt just like lying in bed on a lazy afternoon, basking in utter comfort... wait, huh?

Du Yu snapped back to himself—bed?

Wasn’t he forgetting something?

Oh... right!

Ever since they’d left the Ancient Pine Tower Bookstore’s main building, Prince Yan had been obsessed with the big bed, still waiting for me to come ”bed-sit” for him.

”Xiaoyan, just sleep in the Acupoint Home for now,” Du Yu sent a message through the Contract. ”I’m in the sea right now. I’ll call you when I’m back.”

Xiaoyan sighed mournfully, ”In the end, I gave my love to the wrong person.”

Du Yu: ”.....”

That resentful voice, the tone full of wronged sorrow... who could stand it?

Du Yu: ”Just whimper for me and stop talking!”

”Hmph~” Prince Yan harrumphed.

”I just got busy and forgot,” Du Yu scratched his head, a little embarrassed. ”When I get back, I’ll cuddle you to sleep. Three days, okay?”

Prince Yan had just earned three hundred thousand in appearance fees, and what do I do? I straight up forgot my star player.

I really am a scumbag, huh!

”What’s wrong?” Suddenly, another cool, clear voice slipped into Du Yu’s mind.

”Nothing, nothing,” Du Yu responded with Demon Soul. ”How far is the Abyss of the Deep Sea?”

”Maybe a day, maybe two. I lost all sense of time long ago. The Sea Abyss is very, very far. You could take a nap.”

Du Yu was shocked!

It’s that far?

Celestial Cyan Porcelain: ”There won’t be any living things along the way, just endless sea. You’ll get bored pretty quick, so sleep.”

As her voice echoed in his mind, Celestial Cyan Porcelain suddenly opened her dragon mouth.

Du Yu: ???

He didn’t really have the right to refuse anyway. Coddled by the dragon beard, Du Yu was immediately popped into Celestial Cyan Porcelain’s mouth:

”This way, I can swim faster too. When we arrive, I’ll wake you up.”

Du Yu: ”...”

For a tiny member of the Human Race, there was plenty of space inside the dragon’s mouth.

But still...

Before Du Yu could even say anything, Yang Qingqing was also sent inside by the dragon beard.

Accompanying her was a pint-sized Sea Dragon Candle and, swimming around the candle, a Little Dragon Carp.

The teal candlelight lit up the inside of the dragon’s mouth.

The master and disciple looked at each other. This was definitely a first for both of them.

After thinking a moment, Du Yu reached down and patted the soft dragon tongue. ”Careful there, don’t absent-mindedly eat us.”

”Mm.” Celestial Cyan Porcelain slowly closed her mouth, angled down, and began to pick up speed beneath the waves.

A few dozen seconds later, the seawater in Celestial Cyan Porcelain’s mouth actually receded. Still, just in case, Du Yu’s Wandering Dragons didn’t vanish.

Realizing the environment had changed, Du Yu was a bit dazed.

Land, sea, and air transport? Seriously?

This is almost too high-function, huh...

Then again, using a majestic Ancient Demon Saint as a means of transportation... isn’t that kind of a waste of talent?

”Hello? Hello?” Du Yu’s breathing was smooth. He quickly opened his mouth to test his voice—yep, he could talk!

Yang Qingqing calmly surveyed her surroundings, adapting easily to whatever came.

She shifted a few steps and sat by Celestial Cyan Porcelain’s teeth, leaning back on the tightly-shut Dragon’s Teeth, and began to meditate and cultivate.

As a Savior, she could naturally cultivate all the Demon Breaths. In the mouth of an Ancient Demon Saint Celestial Cyan Porcelain, the Water Demon Breath was practically bursting.

Du Yu, meanwhile, boredly glanced around, then suddenly had a brainwave.

His eyes lit up, and he stared at the dragon tongue beneath him.

Isn’t this just a giant, soft bed?

Settled, Prince Yan~

What’s the point of sleeping on an ordinary bed? Today we’ll rest on a Dragon Tongue Bed!

The style is off the charts!

With Demon Soul flashing in his palm, Du Yu contacted Celestial Cyan Porcelain, and after getting her okay, he immediately summoned Xiaoyan.

”Ying?” Xiaoyan looked confused—didn’t the boss say he was in the sea?

The instant Prince Yan arrived, a tiny Little Wandering Dragon appeared, winding around her petite form, offering her a safety guarantee.

Du Yu hugged Xiaoyan, stretched out on the huge, soft dragon tongue, and whispered, ”Go to sleep, hero.”

”Ying~” Though she still didn’t quite get it, Xiaoyan was instantly much happier.

Du Yu felt someone gazing at him from behind. He turned and glanced back. ”Good night, Master Qing.”

Yang Qingqing: ”...”
