Sumr night’s starry sky, Twin Flower Waterfall.
Du Yu sat leaning against a large tree, gazing at the Twin Flower Tree not far away, his face full of enchantnt.
So beautiful.
During the day, he had already witnessed the grandeur of the Twin Ancient Trees, but he didn’t expect the Twin Trees at night to be even more fantastical and beautiful.
The lush Twin Trees were adorned with clusters of white little flowers, emitting a soft glow.
Especially at nightfall, the flower waterfall cascaded down from top to bottom, so beautiful that it made one impulsively want to get married on the spot...
The choice of a marriage partner no longer matters; the atmosphere had already set the stage!
The night breeze gently blew, mingled with a rich floral fragrance and waves of pure Demon Breath, swirling around Du Yu.
His growth was rapid, and Xiaoyan was no less remarkable.
Hu Xiaoyan nestled in Du Yu’s arms, half-asleep, half-awake, with a dreamy look in her eyes. The Fire Demon Breath around her petite body was quite substantial.
Her fiery red tail gently swayed, occasionally brushing against Du Yu’s chin, enjoying the beautiful night pleasantly.
The Twin Trees were not frightening; on the contrary, it felt more like a kind guardian.
It wasn’t stingy with its abilities. Perhaps to human Demon Tars, it also considered them part of the world of living beings. As long as one harbors no ill intentions, the Twin Trees are very willing to help nourish the body.
And around it, many Demon Beasts lurked, with battles frequently occurring.
The Twin Trees would gently separate them, like disciplining mischievous children, preventing the Demon Beasts from fighting within its domain.
Gentle?
It’s hard to imagine Du Yu using the word "gentle" to describe a tree.
Therefore, after spending a night here, Du Yu set off during the day to complete gathering tasks in areas 7, 8, and 9, then returned here again to spend another night.
Eventually, the third day arrived, and Du Yu temporarily bid farewell to the gentle and beautiful Twin Trees, departing back to the Demon Spirit Bookstore.
On one hand, to submit tasks and receive new ones, on the other hand...
Today was the day to et the new teammate!
...
"Good morning, Brother Xuyang." Du Yu excitedly pushed open the door of the Demon Spirit Bookstore, and with the familiar sound of a bell, the store assistant stood up from behind the counter.
"That’s my brother, working the night shift." The store assistant smiled, seeing Du Yu pull open his tactical backpack and take out a thick Beard Tree Vine from his bulging bag.
"Oh, hello, little brother, I’m here to submit the task." Du Yu glanced at the na tag on the store assistant’s chest—Chen Xuri.
Chen Xuri imdiately rolled his eyes, who’s a little brother here!
As Du Yu submitted the task items, he also skillfully handed over his student ID.
A 3-ter long Beard Tree Vine, 8 Demon Plant Fruits of any grade, two 30-centiter Water Swirl Grass, and a bunch of Thousand Color Flowers.
Upon looking again at the task board, Du Yu noticed the sixth task was still there. That Double-leaf Grass Snake, eroded by Cold Qi, seed to still be wreaking havoc all around?
"Collect Moonlit Little Bear’s feces?" Du Yu blinked, counting the task list, "Why do you need poop?"
Chen Xuri shrugged his shoulders, "The Moonlit Little Bear was artificially bred and released into this Demon Spirit Realm not long ago. By checking their feces, we can see how healthy they are and whether they’re adapting to life here."
"Alright then." Du Yu nodded. For points, he didn’t mind scooping poop, "Today’s intelligence task is actually investigating the Double-leaf Grass Snake?"
The fifth task and the sixth task seed a bit repetitive, huh?
"We need to monitor the Double-leaf Grass Snake’s movents in real-ti until soone eliminates the threat."
Du Yu’s eyes lit up, seeing the intelligence task worth a full 6 points, he sensed an opportunity for easy gain.
As long as the Double-leaf Grass Snake remains, the 6-point intelligence task would always reappear, and as the Double-leaf Grass Snake becos increasingly stronger, the bounty points for this intelligence task might keep climbing higher!
Du Yu took on a total of 5 tasks, adding 4 points to his card, and left imdiately, "Goodbye, little brother."
Chen Xuri: "I..."
Leaving the Demon Spirit Bookstore, Du Yu trotted straight into the Demon Pet Center.
Without even glancing at the young lady at the service desk, he headed straight for the window with his student ID, "I’m here to retrieve the Demon Pet, the one I exchanged for a few days ago."
"Swipe your ID."
"Beep~"
"Ghost Firefly Fire Types?" The female staff mber behind the window looked at Du Yu strangely, then suddenly put her hands together, as if in prayer like a Bodhisattva.
Du Yu was startled, though he knew he was handso, but not to the point of being worshiped, right?
The young lady looked pleadingly, "Classmate, I beg you. Once you get the Ghost Firefly Fire Types, can you please go outside to sign the contract?"
Du Yu: "Oh."
The woman picked up a walkie-talkie and hurriedly said sothing.
Du Yu also understood why she reacted this way. The first Demon Skill of the Ghost Firefly Fire Types is called "Ghost Firefly Burn."
Five big characters: Highly Flammable and Explosive!
If it was just about exploding, it might not be a big deal, but the unique scent produced after the explosion is very unfriendly to all living creatures.
The sll... it’s a bit like sulfur.
Alright, to put it bluntly, it slls like rotten eggs.
But with the status of Ghost Firefly Fire Types, how can we describe it as slling like rotten eggs? Ghost Firefly Fire is a ghost fire, a uniquely eerie and cold fla!
The gases produced by its explosion naturally carry the most authentic ghost fire scent from the Demon Ghost World!
Yes! It must be like that!
After a while, a man holding a tal can walked toward the hall entrance, beckoning Du Yu, "Hey, student, your Demon Pet is here, follow ."
Du Yu took a step and followed him.
Behind them ca the thankful words of a young lady, "Thank you, may a good person live a peaceful life!"
Du Yu: "..."
It’s as if I sent you a link.
Outside the Demon Pet Center, Du Yu caught up with the well-dressed middle-aged man, quickly saying, "What if the Ghost Firefly Fire runs away after you open the can?"
Ghost Firefly Fire is a double elent of wind and fire, often appearing and disappearing, making it hard to catch.
"I will stay here until you complete the contract, or until you decide to forfeit the contract and put it back into the can," the man said with a professional fake smile.
While speaking, the man led Du Yu to a bench by the street, "I suggest you bring out so fire or wind elent pet food to bond with the Ghost Firefly Fire for a better chance at signing the contract."
"Alright." Du Yu took out two cream-filled cookies, accepted the tal can with one hand, and gently unscrewed the lid.
As soon as there was a small gap, wisps of flas, escorted by a gentle breeze, swirled out and gathered into a fla in front of Du Yu’s face.
Judging by sight, the fla was about the size of a volleyball.
Its internal flas were pitch black, overlaid by a seemingly vague fluorescent green fla.
Du Yu looked up at the ghost fire in front of him, hearing the crackling sound of the fla, and saw so fluorescent green sparks splashing out.
"So cool!" Du Yu was delighted, and with his excellent vision, he even saw a pair of pitch-black eyes within the dark fla!
The pure black eyes had only a slight color difference from the pitch-black fla, requiring close inspection to notice.
For a mont, the person and the fla had a staring contest.
Du Yu picked up the cream cookie and extended it to the dark fla, "Hello, I really like you, let’s go together in the future."
No matter if it could understand or not, Du Yu’s good intentions were clear.
Unexpectedly, the fluorescent green flas on the dark fla grew brighter and more dazzling.
Du Yu: "What are you..."
"Bang!"
The fla exploded, and the air surged!
Du Yu shielded his face with one hand, retreating continuously, feeling his Demon Breath Battle Robe trembling.
anwhile, behind the Ghost Firefly Fire, the suited man’s expression was stiff.
It was obvious he was trying hard to maintain a service smile, but it truly looked unpleasant.
Du Yu was about to say sothing to the Ghost Firefly Fire but suddenly felt a cold chill rushing at him, and the strong rotten egg sll filled his nostrils.
"Ugh." Du Yu felt nauseous, unable to control his physical reaction, as he quickly grabbed a small tree for support.
"Whoo-hoo~" The Ghost Firefly Fire joyfully fluttered up and down, spinning in circles, seemingly proclaiming to the world how happy it was...
As expected from an officially guaranteed transaction, the remark information was spot on; this little guy was indeed mischievous!
"Touch it," suddenly, Little Fen Yang’s voice echoed in his mind.
Du Yu quickly asked in his mind, "What?"
"Touch it, I’ll help you."
Covering his nose and mouth with one hand, Du Yu reached out to the black fire with the other.
The big black eyes of the Ghost Firefly Fire were barely visible, like winking, and as Du Yu’s fingers approached the black fla, he started to feel a bit cool.
After all, the Ghost Firefly Fire was young, and its ghostly fla body wasn’t cold, but more "cool," making it suitable for cooling off during a scorching sumr.
Noticing the human approaching, the fluorescent green flas on Ghost Firefly Fire began to light up again.
Nearby, the suited man’s expression looked pained, like he wanted to run but couldn’t escape.
He even dared not make a vomiting movent for fear of being complained against...
Just as the fluorescent green outer flas grew brighter, Du Yu’s finger poked into the cool fla.
"Who?" The Ghost Firefly Fire emitted a strange sound, hovering in mid-air.
Du Yu finally found its mouth and was thinking of shoving the cream cookie in, but heard Little Fen Yang’s voice, "Contract, now."
Without a second thought, Du Yu withdrew his finger.
The scene was beautiful, his fingertip traced out a trail of pitch-black fire line, with scattered fluorescent green sparks rapidly pointing toward his forehead...
