On the distant mountain peak, the Mountain Fire Saber stood proudly, still blazing fiercely.
Under the firelight, no one’s silhouette could be seen.
After quietly watching for a while, Du Yu turned his head helplessly and looked at the road under the streetlamp.
He felt he was already working hard enough, and growing up fast, but catching up with Master Qing still seed a hopeless dream.
Little Fen Yang was right—he didn’t even have the qualifications to see her face to face.
Hurry up and level up.
Once I reach the Great Demon Tar Stage, things should get a lot better.
By then, most Demon Spirit Realms in the world should open their doors to .
"Vroom!" Du Yu suddenly slamd on the gas pedal, the vehicle roaring like a wild beast in the night as it shot out from the road in front of the Mountain Fire Saber gate.
kiloters—neither too far nor too close.
And ever since he got the Demon Soul, it was hard for Du Yu to feel lonely anymore.
Even if Xiaoyan and Tai Sui wanted to sleep, the Little You Ying in the Xuanji Acupoint was always happy to welco Du Yu.
Even if woken up, it never got mad—the first thing Little You Ying did upon opening its eyes was to start circling around Du Yu.
This little chatterbox sure was talented!
Perfect for hanging out at the village entrance, competing with the elderly uncles and aunties.
Most of the ti, Little You Ying was just calling out "Du Yu," but every now and then, it would spout a few innocent, mischievous lines.
It sounded pretty amusing.
Fun fact: When Du Yu drove back to Xishu Garden, the car was already full of a delicate fragrance.
He’d easily mastered the Demon Skill: Ghost Firefly Burn.
No need for an explosion—he could just release a heart-soothing aroma at will.
Of course, if Du Yu actually used Ghost Firefly Burn to make his palm explode, the effect was pretty pathetic...
"Thunk." Wearing a bathrobe and barefoot, Du Yu got out of the car and shut the door behind him.
Since Demon Soul Du Yu left the Juque Acupoint · Tai Sui’s Holand, Du Yu had naturally lost the ability to use the Bamboo Leaf Armor.
Anyway, it was already 1 a.m., the underground parking lot was quiet and deserted, and Du Yu didn’t really care.
He wrapped the bathrobe around himself, walked toward the elevator, and, as he did, flicked his fingers—small runes silently drifted out.
Demon Skill · Ghost Fire Talisman·Guard!
The burning, firefly-green rune looked quite mysterious, almost like a little cookie.
Du Yu didn’t really trust its defensive power, but still gave it a try.
"Whoosh!" The tiny rune suddenly grew larger, slightly bigger than his palm, and took the shape of a little grass.
Gamma?
Du Yu stared at the "γ" in front of him, grabbed the "root" with one hand, and poked the elevator button with the tip of the grass.
The elevator doors opened imdiately...
Du Yu let go of the root, and "γ" shrunk back to a tiny piece.
It cut the line and squeezed back among the string of mysterious runes, spinning gently with its buddies around Du Yu’s wrist.
"Heh." Du Yu grinned and walked into the elevator.
A fight? Forget it,
This is perfect for babysitting kids.
"Fwoosh~"
ψ suddenly got bigger—Du Yu grabbed the fork-like handle and poked the 16th floor button with the tip.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Little You Ying darted out, clutching its big torch, looking at Du Yu with curiosity.
Inside its Acupoint Ho, it had no idea what its master was up to, but it needed to use its skills again and again.
Little You Ying actually wanted to see how its master used the Demon Skills.
However, the mont it stepped out from the Acupoint Ho, its body separated from Demon Soul Du Yu.
In the blink of an eye, the little runes spinning around Du Yu’s wrist all disappeared without a trace.
"Only when you’re in the Acupoint Ho can I use your Demon Skills," Du Yu said with a smile, patting its little head.
"Mmm." Little You Ying nodded blankly, suddenly realizing it was in the elevator.
Such a tiny, closed space made Little You Ying’s eyes start to sparkle!
Du Yu suddenly panicked, "No! Don’t explode, don’t!"
"Poof~"
At the very last second, Du Yu pulled Little You Ying back inside his body.
"Good grief!" Du Yu still looked shaken. As soon as the elevator doors opened, he hurried out.
No wonder people say even dogs avoid you!
I can’t stand you either... eh?
Du Yu scratched his head, feeling like sothing was off.
"Brother Tree?" With several fla runes swirling around his fingertips, Du Yu made them grow and knocked on the door in turn.
"Crack~"
"Miss ? I’ve got a Demon Soul... whoa!" Before Du Yu could finish, branches wrapped around him and dragged him into the apartnt.
Du Yu thought this was the Fire Phoenix Tree’s way of welcoming him, but instead, he was pulled right into the living room.
As the branches let go, Du Yu froze.
On his very own floor... there was a chick lying there?
Du Yu reached his hand out, the firefly-green rune bracelet floating forward, illuminating the girl’s delicate face.
Li ngnan?
She was gripping a longsword in her hand, clothes soaked through with sweat, clearly just having fallen asleep recently.
Or maybe, the Fire Phoenix Tree knocked her out?
Du Yu half-knelt and tapped the girl’s forehead, "ngnan?"
"Ah~!" Li ngnan’s eyes flew open, and she slashed out with her sword.
The runes swirling in front of her face snapped back, retracting into Du Yu’s palm and suddenly growing big!
"Ding!"
The longsword struck the palm-sized "β", making a crisp sound.
"Du Yu?" Li ngnan finally woke up. Realizing the situation, her face went red, and she quickly rolled away.
"Did the Fire Phoenix Tree bully you?" Du Yu frowned slightly.
From her reaction, you could tell Li ngnan had definitely suffered plenty at the hands of the Fire Phoenix Tree.
"N-no." Li ngnan shook her head repeatedly, "The Fire Phoenix is great, has been helping train."
"Oh." Du Yu nodded and chuckled, "Nice place you picked, coming to my place to train."
Li ngnan pouted, "You won’t answer my texts, don’t pick up the phone, I almost called the police!
Ca here looking for you, and only the Fire Phoenix Tree told you and Master Qing went off on a cultivation trip."
She’d started out annoyed, but the more Li ngnan spoke, the stranger her expression grew.
Looking at the bathrobe Du Yu was wearing, she was puzzled, "Why are you dressed like that, where did you and Master Qing go to cultivate?"
Du Yu: "I..."
Li ngnan and Little You Ying alike—both had motor mouths!
She didn’t even seem to care about the answers, just kept asking, "What were those symbols just now? Were those Ghost Firefly’s runes? How can you use Ghost Firefly’s Demon Skills?"
"I..."
"How did you...wah!" Li ngnan jerked backwards, startled!
Right in front of her, a phantom stord out of Du Yu’s body!
Demon Soul Du Yu burst out, similar in size to the real Du Yu, and flopped to the ground.
Li ngnan frantically kicked her long legs, scooting her butt backward, face full of terror: "W-what’s that?"
Demon Soul Du Yu looked up, deliberately contorted his face into a snarl, straight out of a life-taking Fierce Ghost scene.
Clawing at the floor with both hands, he slowly crawled toward the girl through the dim room.
Behind him, real Du Yu rolled his eyes: "That’ll teach you to keep yamring..."
