I Have a Golden Crow

”New leader?”

”Once the master has planted the Tai Sui Thunder Bamboo, we will naturally gain a new Thunder Bamboo Chi Bear Tribe.” Hongye nodded and said, ”Each Thunder Bamboo Tribe will select Chi Bears of different strengths and ages.

Under the leadership of the new tribe leader, Celestial Flash, a completely new Thunder Bamboo Tribe will be formed.”

”Oh... Celestial Flash.” Du Yu nodded, ”That’s a nice name.”

Hongye: ”Does the master have any other instructions?”

Du Yu: ”Are you aware that Tai Sui Bamboo can enter the body of Chi Bears?”

Hongye: ”Yes, when a clansman gains the recognition of the Tai Sui Bamboo, they can welcome the bamboo into their body.

There was once a Tai Sui Earth Bamboo that recognized an Earth Bamboo Chi Bear, and was taken away by that predecessor.”

Upon hearing this, Du Yu’s mind became active.

The Tai Sui Thunder Bamboo that was brought back this time seems not to have entered the body of the Forbidden City due to its recognition.

Could it be that the Tai Sui Bamboo did this as a gesture of gratitude and return to its homeland?

Hongye continued: ”That Earth Bamboo predecessor is also the hope of our entire tribe.

We hope it can become a saint and thereby produce more Tai Sui Bamboo, leading our tribe out of its predicament.

So, the elders let the Tai Sui Earth Bamboo leave the homeland.”

Du Yu curiously asked: ”Where did the Earth Bamboo Chi Bear go?”

Hongye: ”The predecessor was contracted by a Human Race member, it is said that this person is a Demon Taming Saint.”

”One of the Seven Saints of Great Xia?” Du Yu’s heart stirred, ”What is the person’s name?”

Hongye shook her head.

”Hmm... alright then.”

Hongye bowed and left: ”Master, have a good rest.”

”Oh.” As the wooden door closed, Du Yu looked at the empty room.

After pondering for a while, he activated the Mountain and Sea Bell.

”Crash~”

Just then, waves crashed against the shore, splashing Du Yu with water droplets.

With wind swirling around his feet and specks of starlight scattering outward, Du Yu flew towards the Shatang Mansion.

”Master Qing, when are we upgrading?” he muttered softly, ”I’ve already been surrounded by Chi Bears...”

”Hehe~” Little Burning Sun giggled, ”The Chi Bear is so cute, why are you afraid of it?”

”That Celestial Flash is 6 or 7 meters tall, a single slap from it could flatten me into minced meat... hmm?” As he spoke, Du Yu paused in suspicion.

Originally, the Firethorn Tree had four trunks, only at the base under the soil did they converge into one main trunk.

But now, the trunk exposed above ground, how does it have five trunks?

Just last night when I came, it was still the same!

The difference in quantity might be overlooked.

The key is that the shape of the Firethorn Tree has changed drastically, it was only about 20 meters tall before, and now it’s nearly 40 meters...

The giant tree towers to the sky!

These four words can now be associated with the Firethorn Tree.

Once living in a flower pot, the demonic plant has finally ventured into a vast world!

Just as the Demon Fruit Tree Heart said, the Firethorn Tree can indeed grow very large...

Du Yu’s figure descended slowly, falling into the Firethorn Courtyard.

”Rustle~”

The Firethorn Tree shook its branches and leaves excitedly, the sea of leaves rushing towards Du Yu.

For a moment, Du Yu was engulfed by the leaves, at a loss of what to do.

”Brother Tree, have you... grown larger?!”

An androgynous gentle voice replied: ”General Level·Initial Stage.”

”Haha!” Although Du Yu was prepared for this, he was still overjoyed to hear it.

The Firethorn Tree advanced to Spirit Level·Great Success Stage in late July.

And now, it has broken through to General Level by late November?

The effectiveness of the Demon Fruit Tree Heart is indeed incredibly strong!

In the past, the Firethorn Tree, stuck at his level, seemed depressed and on the verge of death.

Look at it now, it’s brimming with vitality!

”Crash~”

The lush branches formed a cocoon of leaves, continuously squeezing Du Yu who was trapped inside: ”Thank you.”

Du Yu curled up his body, listening to the sound of cracks forming on the Demon Breath Battle Robe: ”Can you thank me a little more gently?”

Firethorn Tree: ”I miss this.”

Du Yu: ”...”

Do you miss the good old days of bullying me?

What a rascal.

Now that it’s advanced to General Level, this bully tree is going to make a comeback.

Little Burning Sun: ”Du Yu, Du Yu~ eat a fruit.”

”Oh, okay.” Du Yu casually flipped through the leaves, plucking a tempting fruit.

He wiped the Firethorn Fruit, just about to take a bite, when a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on it.

”Whoa!” Du Yu was startled.

The esteemed Great Demon Tamer couldn’t even sense the life signs in the fruit in his hand.

The disguise of the Demon Fruit Tree Heart was truly thorough.

”Ha~” The heart blinked with a smile, an innocent child’s voice echoed in Du Yu’s mind, ”Going home.”

Du Yu: ”What?”

”The Tree Heart helped Du Yu, helped the Firethorn, and the Tree Heart wants to go home.”

”Ah...” Du Yu held the rosy fruit, ”You don’t want to play with the Firethorn Tree and Wind Chime Tree anymore?

Also, some purple bamboo just got brought in yesterday, have you seen it?”

Demon Fruit Tree Heart: ”Tree Heart wants to go home.”

Du Yu: ”The Shatang Tree can help you grow, you...”

The Tree Heart opened its big eyes, looking pitiful and tearful: ”Miss home, Tree Heart misses home!”

”Okay, okay.” Du Yu quickly said, ”I’ll take you home, I’ll take you home.”

Sigh...

The kidnapping failed!

However, since the two had an agreement earlier, Du Yu didn’t force it to stay.

”I have a task at hand right now, can you wait a few more days and I’ll take you back, okay?” Du Yu let the Demon Soul appear in his palm, allowing the Tree Heart to sense his sincerity.

”Okay~” The Demon Fruit Tree Heart, being a child, quickly changed emotions.

Its body suddenly became ethereal and floated to the side.

Du Yu casually grabbed some Firethorn Leaves: ”How about you? To what extent has your potential been unleashed?”

Firethorn Tree: ”Within the General Level, there should be no obstacles to cultivation.”

”Alright then, if you encounter any difficulties later, we can get the Demon Fruit Tree Heart again.” As he spoke, Du Yu pinched a leaf, ”Why did it suddenly want to go home?

Did you bully the Demon Fruit Tree Heart?”

Firethorn Tree: ”The Shatang helped the Demon Fruit Tree Heart to advance in grade, and the Tree Heart wants to go back to share this joy with the Nameless Tree.”

Du Yu: ”I see... wait, this Demon Fruit Tree Heart was at Cold Jade Level before.”

Firethorn Tree: ”Yes, it’s now probably at the Sixth Grade·Eternal Diamond.”

Du Yu couldn’t help but grin.

A true treasure!

It’s undoubtedly a Celestial Material and Earthly Treasure!

”Master.”

”Hmm?”

”The Ten Thousand Plants Garden is the home of the Demon Fruit Tree Heart, but what it cares about most is that Nameless Tree. For some reason, the Nameless Tree’s potential has reached its limit, and at that time, the Demon Fruit Tree Heart didn’t have the ability to help it.”

Du Yu suddenly understood: ”So this return is for the Nameless Tree?”

Firethorn Tree: ”Yes, the Demon Fruit Tree Heart now has stronger capabilities, it might be able to help the Nameless Tree break through the shackles of cultivation.

Additionally, the Demon Fruit Tree Heart likes me, likes the Wind Chime Tree, likes the Shatang Tree even more.

Shatang is a rare demonic plant that can nourish it back.”

Du Yu: ”So?”

Firethorn Tree: ”The Demon Fruit Tree Heart likes it here and wants to stay, it’s just still tied up emotionally by the Nameless Tree.”

Du Yu’s heart stirred: ”You’re saying, if I bring the Nameless Tree into the Sea Realm, the Demon Fruit Tree Heart will stay too?”

Firethorn Tree: ”Maybe.”

Little Fen Yang suddenly spoke: ”Or we could strip the Nameless Tree’s bark and burn all its branches and leaves?”

Du Yu: ???

Little Fen Yang muttered softly: ”Cut off the Demon Fruit Tree Heart’s attachment~”

Du Yu: ”...”

Can you even be human?

”Hehe~” Little Fen Yang giggled mischievously, ”Silly Du Yu, I wouldn’t treat the Tree Heart’s good friend like that.

The Demon Fruit’s friends are all good trees.”

Du Yu rolled his eyes: ”The Firethorn is a bully, not a good tree, go strip its bark!”

Little Fen Yang floated out, shaking its head, ”No, the Firethorn Tree gives me fruit, so it’s a good tree.”

Firethorn Tree: ”Yes, yes!”

As they spoke, a branch reached down, pried open Du Yu’s mouth, and stuffed a fruit into it.

Little Fen Yang: ”Du Yu, Du Yu, you should chew it!”

The Firethorn Tree generously fed, pleasing Little Golden Crow.

Little Fen Yang enjoyed it greatly, urging Du Yu repeatedly.

Du Yu’s mouth was full of juicy, tart fruit flesh...

”Er.” Du Yu grimaced, his face numb.

Alright then,

Hmm... just in time, I was hungry too.
