At around 5 PM, Du Yu went upstairs and prepared a sumptuous dinner for Master Qing, with a complete set of four dishes and one soup.
Master Qing doesn't have a big appetite, so to avoid wasting food, Du Yu ate until his stomach was round.
Hmm... just short of humming.
After dinner, Du Yu cleaned up the kitchen and began moving house.
Even though he didn't have many belongings, just so toiletries, clothes, and Demon Soldier Ring, Prince Du still made several trips back and forth.
Yang Qingqing nestled in the sofa, caressing Bai Yujing lying beside her, and idly flipping through TV channels, occasionally glancing at Du Yu's busy figure.
The student's eyes were filled with expectations for the future life, just watching him made her feel happy for him.
Clearly, Aunt Su's level of feeding was quite good, which pleased Yang Qingqing.
Until the final trip of moving house, when Du Yu ca out of the dining room holding a jar of maple syrup, Yang Qingqing spoke up to stop him: "Bring more dried fruit downstairs."
Du Yu paused, holding a jar of maple syrup, looking a bit embarrassed.
Yang Qingqing casually pressed the TV remote: "Bring so fruits of the Fire Elent and Wind Elent as well."
After a while, still without a response from the student, Yang Qingqing frowned lightly and looked at him: "Why are you standing there like an idiot?"
Du Yu lowered his head, looking at his bulging coat pockets: "I've already taken them."
Yang Qingqing: "..."
Du Yu scratched his head and said: "By the way, Master Qing, I left a jar of maple syrup in the cabinet.
It's from Aunt Su, the quality is super good, you can let the Rose General Spirit taste it."
Yang Qingqing glanced at the TV and softly replied "Hmm": "There's no bed downstairs, you can stay here tonight."
"No need, no need." Du Yu shook his head repeatedly, "Tomorrow morning, I'll co to make breakfast for you."
Yang Qingqing: "Just co up at 7:30, Jianzhou will co over in the morning, he'll accompany you to the southwest."
"Ah?"
"Just right, let him open his eyes."
Yang Qingqing looked at Du Yu once more, instructing: "The opportunity to enter Bamboo Grove is rare, don't rush back, make sure you experience Chi Bear culture."
Actually, she also wanted to go to Bamboo Grove to rejuvenate.
However, her role and identity were too important, whether at school or in Ancient Pine Tower City, they wouldn't easily allow her to leave the jurisdiction.
Especially after last week's Twin Trees crisis, she played a crucial role in resolving the crisis due to her special constitution as a Spirit Master, making it even more impossible for her to leave easily.
"Yes." Du Yu responded politely and went downstairs.
That night, Du Yu slept in the embrace of the Firethorn Tree.
Back in the novice training camp, under the pressure of Old Demon Gong, Du Yu improvised a heroic speech.
Sothing about using Divine Wood Leaves as a bed and Golden Crow Wings as a blanket.
As for Golden Crow Wings as a blanket, that would take so more ti, as Little Fen Yang's wings were not yet grown enough to spread as a blanket over Du Yu.
As for laying a bed with Divine Wood Leaves...
After sleeping a night with the Firethorn Tree, Du Yu was genuinely tempted!
So! Com! Fort! Able!
He never imagined a leaf bed could be so comfortable, layers of lush branches piled into a mattress, Du Yu could even adjust the softness himself...
And the next morning when he got up, Du Yu couldn't find his phone; he later discovered that the Firethorn Tree, seeing him asleep, had automatically moved the phone beside him to the socket to charge.
"This is too ticulous." Du Yu picked up the phone handed over by the branch, "If I were a girl, I'd definitely marry you."
It can be a bed, guard the ho, clean the house, and crucially produce high-quality Firethorn Fruits.
The only requirent is water, and even when it needs water, the Firethorn Tree would water itself...
Isn't this a pure great... uh, warm guy?
Out of a principle to care for his own demonic plant, Du Yu poured the first ladle of water for the Firethorn Tree.
The Firethorn Tree was quite happy, imdiately poking Du Yu's waist in gratitude...
After playing for a while, Du Yu checked the ti; it was already 7 o'clock, and he ran to the kitchen to grab a jar of maple syrup from the cabinet.
"By the way, Brother Tree, do you eat maple syrup?"
The tree branch beside him swayed back and forth.
"Alright, then you have no blessing." Du Yu casually grabbed a branch, picked a leaf as a spoon, scooped a spoonful of thick maple syrup, and sent it into his mouth.
Whoa~
"Ugh." Du Yu's expression twisted, grimacing as if he were a ghost, it was so bitter it was beyond recognition.
"How is it, Little Fen Yang, is it tasty?" Du Yu rushed to the sink, gulping water desperately.
"Um?" Little Fen Yang said groggily, "What tasty thing, I was sleeping."
Du Yu: ???
"Wow~ Maple syrup, I want to eat, I want to eat!"
Du Yu looked grieved, leaning both hands on the kitchen counter: "I've already eaten a spoonful."
"Eat another spoonful then."
Feeling helpless, Du Yu considered himself unfortunate and used a Firethorn Leaf to scoop another spoonful of maple syrup.
"Hmm~ Delicious, Du Yu."
"What."
"You're so nice~"
"Isn't it when you despise for being weak?"
"Nice and weak, not conflicting!"
Du Yu: "..."
Nearby, the Firethorn Tree branch swayed from side to side, as if observing Du Yu in 360 degrees, perplexed.
Is my new master suffering from so serious illness?
Why are you treating yourself so badly?
If you want to experience such pain, there's no need to fight with the Demon Pet for food. I can just hit you!
"Knock, knock, knock." A knocking sound ca from a distance.
Du Yu was startled for a mont and dragged the branches and leaves to the sink: "Wash yourself."
Curious, he walked to the door and looked at the first guest in his ho through the peephole.
However, Du Yu was shocked because what he saw was an eye!
"Click." Du Yu opened the door with one hand.
"Eh?" Li ngnan quickly stepped back, covering her forehead with one hand. It turned out she was looking inside through the peephole...
As the door opened, two tall figures appeared outside.
"Congratulations on your new ho." Lin Shiwei was initially smiling to congratulate him, but upon seeing Du Yu's face, her eyebrows furrowed, "Why are you crying again?"
For heaven's sake, Du Yu was speechless.
Anyone who eats maple syrup always gets caught by the third sister, right?
"No, no, co in quickly." Du Yu hurriedly greeted them, walking towards the living room, "I'm going to wash my face."
"Do we need to change shoes?" Li ngnan hesitated at the door, as there were no slippers in the house.
"Just co in, Brother Tree will help with the cleaning."
Du Yu's voice ca from afar, and the Firethorn Tree's branches also reached in front of the two won. The leaves, like a little hand, gently caressed their faces as if to rember their appearances.
It recognized Lin Shiwei, but it was the first ti eting Li ngnan.
"Hello." Li ngnan marveled, pinching a leaf with her fingers and then shouted loudly, "Last ti you said you had your eyes on the Xishu Courtyard, and you really moved in."
"Ah, bought it from Master Qing."
Li ngnan curiously asked, "How much was it?"
"I don't know, I'll just be paying it back for the rest of my life."
Li ngnan: "..."
Lin Shiwei walked into the house, asking, "It's empty, not even a bed?"
"Did you sleep on the floor last night?" Li ngnan looked around the house, feeling sorry, "I'll go buy you a bed."
"Snap!"
The Firethorn Tree whipped near Li ngnan's feet, startling the girl.
"It's nothing, it's fine." Du Yu quickly returned, pushing the Firethorn Tree's branches away with one hand.
Li ngnan hid behind Du Yu, cautiously looking at the Firethorn Tree, "What's going on?"
"Hehe." Du Yu chuckled awkwardly, not knowing how to explain.
Lin Shiwei took an envelope out of her pocket and handed it to Du Yu: "Master Qing asked us to take a two-day break, and then there will be the next phase of the task. I won't be able to accompany you."
"Okay." Du Yu took the envelope, looking at his two teammates in front of him, "While I'm away, you two need to cultivate diligently!"
Lin Shiwei nodded with a smile, looking around the empty house, "Leave a key to the house."
Du Yu was a bit taken aback, so straightforward?
I'm not ready yet...
Li ngnan whispered, "Third sister, you an...?"
Lin Shiwei indicated the empty house, "To give him so housewarming gifts."
"Oh right, right!" Li ngnan realized and nodded repeatedly, "At the very least, we need to buy him a bed. Sleeping on the floor isn't okay."
"Snap!" In the distance, the Firethorn Tree's branches struck the ground again.
Li ngnan hid behind Du Yu, peering out at the Firethorn Tree that kept scaring her and said unhappily, "We'll buy it, we'll buy it!"
Firethorn Tree: ???
Du Yu whispered, "It's a Celestial Peak-level Demonic Plant. If you annoy it more, none of us can get out of this door."
Li ngnan widened her beautiful eyes, "So strong?"
Du Yu: "You better be careful."
"Hehe~" Lin Shiwei chuckled lightly, "Let's go upstairs to eat, don't keep Master Qing waiting."
Li ngnan was the first to run out of the house, seemingly really afraid of being trapped there by the Firethorn Tree.
The trio took the elevator upstairs. As soon as they entered, a stream of pear blossom petals drifted past, akin to a river, flowing towards Bai Yujing.
Xiaobai gracefully leapt, elegantly jumping over the Pear Blossom River, ran a few steps forward, then turned back to look at the pile of petals, "Nai~"
The petals slowly pieced together, turning into a beautiful little fox, cooing unhappily at Xiaobai, "Eek!"
Xiaobai wobbled its head, the flowers on its snowy white antlers glimred, like playing with a child.
Upon seeing Du Yu and the others co in, it let out a deer cry, transforming from a "nanny" back to a "child," bouncing over to Du Yu.
"Eek~" Pear Blossom Fox took the opportunity to flutter onto Bai Yujing's head like chasing a butterfly, clinging onto the small flowers on her antlers.
"Xiaohua, nice to see you again." Du Yu, now an expert at serving guests, patted the snow-white deer head with one hand and gently tapped the petals of the Pear Blossom Fox with the other hand.
"Eek?" Hua Mantang tilted its small head, curiously looking at Du Yu.
This person seems a bit familiar?
"Eek!" Pear Blossom Fox finally rembered who this guy was, and it started jumping around delightedly, constantly cooing.
"It's looking for Xiaoyan."
"Morning, Senior Brother Fu." Du Yu turned his head to greet him, while also summoning Prince Yan, "Play with Xiaohua for a bit, take care of it; it's still young, don't bully it."
Fu Jianzhou laughed, "Ti for breakfast, we have a flight to catch later."
"Okay."
Everyone headed towards the kitchen, Bai Yujing followed them, only leaving the Pear Blossom Fox to flutter down to the floor, standing beside Xiaoyan.
"Eek?" Pear Blossom Fox blinked with its adorable little eyes, tilting its head, and started counting Xiaoyan's big tails over and over.
Although there were only three, no matter how it counted, sothing seed off?
