"Nai~" the tall doe answered softly.
Du Yu tactfully stepped away, letting the Twin Trees and the Dust Spirit Deer clan get to know each other.
"The Dust Spirit Deer clan like to eat Wind Cotton Grass." Li ngnan sidled over, standing shoulder to shoulder with Du Yu as they looked at the surrounding mountains and forests.
Li ngnan had always been scatterbrained, but when it ca to taking care of Demon Pets, she was consistently very attentive.
Du Yu looked around. "When I get out, I’ll buy a few kilos of Wind Cotton Grass Seed and scatter a bunch in the mountains."
"Mm, mm." Li ngnan responded. Watching the Beautiful Immortal Deer playing with the Twin Tree Seedlings, the look in her eyes softened.
You could tell the Twin Trees really liked the new guards Du Yu had assigned them.
The Dust Spirit Deer were all lively and agile, far more interesting than that bunch of dull, rigid Black Fire Sheep Servants.
"Whoosh~"
The Twin Trees were barely one ter tall, but their branches stretched out a full five ters, lowering in front of Du Yu’s face.
"Happy now?" Du Yu grabbed hold of the two branches.
Strictly speaking, the Twin Trees were two trees.
But since the two grew together in mutual companionship, whenever they moved, they always acted in pairs.
The two branches slipped out of Du Yu’s palms, continued probing forward, and poked Du Yu’s nose at the sa ti.
"Uh." Du Yu rubbed his nose and stepped back.
The Twin Trees’ branches swayed happily, then reached in front of Li ngnan’s face.
"What do you want?" Li ngnan’s face was full of vigilance as she pinched the branches between her fingers.
However, the two branches wrapped around her wrist, as if studying that delicate ladies’ wristwatch.
The scene felt very familiar to Du Yu.
Hadn’t the Twin Trees studied Master Qing’s Bell Bracelet before?
"You like it?" Li ngnan took off the watch. "Here, you can play with it."
But the Twin Trees retracted their branches, as if they’d realized the watch was just Mortal Grade, nowhere near comparable to the Bell Bracelet.
"Tch." Li ngnan curled her lip. "No taste."
Du Yu: "It’s exactly because they have taste that they’re not interested."
Li ngnan turned her head to look at Du Yu, her gaze deep. "Cold Heart Jade Pendant - Devoted Love Series. Two hundred and sixty thousand."
Du Yu: ???
Two hundred and sixty?
Thousand?!
"Damn~" Du Yu stepped forward, lifting the girl’s wrist to carefully examine the gold-and-white chanical watch. "Good thing the kid didn’t want it. You really spoil them, huh?"
Li ngnan just laughed. "Silly Du Yu, you actually believed ?"
Of course I did!
This kind of gift really is sothing Uncle Li would give!
Still studying the watch, Du Yu said, "Tsk~ my Uncle Li really is loaded!
Looks like there still aren’t enough Peach Blossom Realm peach trees planted yet, huh?"
"Hehe~" Li ngnan chuckled softly. "He bought this before he started planting trees."
Du Yu suddenly looked up at the girl. "Does my Uncle Li still need a son?"
"Get lost." Li ngnan’s cheeks flushed slightly as she spat at Du Yu.
Du Yu snickered. "If Teacher Li saw this, wouldn’t she lecture you for a few classes straight?"
"I’m not stupid." Li ngnan blinked playfully. "Last ti my mom saw it and asked, I told her I bought it for 260 yuan at the departnt store."
Du Yu: "..."
At the ntion of Teacher Li, a thought flashed through Du Yu’s mind. "When are we going to visit Teacher Li?"
Li ngnan: "Let’s focus on exam prep first, no rush. After exams I’ll go back with you."
"Oh, that works too." Du Yu held the girl’s wrist and gently lowered it, carefully letting go.
"You." Li ngnan raised her hand and shoved Du Yu a ter away. "What are you doing next?"
Du Yu: "I have to make a trip to Xi River City to send Qingci to the Cold Lake, so it can focus on Cultivation. Then I need to go to Xuena City to send the Ashen Arrow back."
"You’re sending Ashes back?" Li ngnan asked in confusion.
She could understand sending Qingci back. After all, for the Celestial Cyan Porcelain at its current stage, focusing on studying Demon Skills was the proper thing!
But sending Ashes back to Xuena City?
"Yeah." Du Yu nodded. "Ashes is fixated on burning that Bottomless pit."
There was one more thing Du Yu didn’t say.
Ashes was of decisive importance to the existence of Xuena City.
With the Youhan crisis lurking and encroaching these days, letting Great Xia Soldiers train and improve in real combat was extrely necessary.
And with Ashes around, Great Xia could continuously produce batch after batch of elite troops. That was a major matter of benefiting the nation and the people.
Li ngnan: "Then let’s go?"
Du Yu: "You don’t have to co with . Just Cultivate and prep for exams in the Mountain Realm. I’ll run the map myself..."
Du Yu said it that way, and he did exactly that.
At night, once he exited the Mountain and Sea Bell, he started a whole chain of trips.
Since he was "running the map," after he arrived at the Cold Lake Area and Xuena City District, he naturally marked the locations with the Void Axe.
Next ti he wanted to go, it’d just take a single Spatial Rift.
As for that pitch-black SUV, Du Yu chose to carry it with him.
When Du Yu arrived at Xi River City and saw Qingci off, he needed to take a military plane to Xuena City, and he didn’t want to leave the car behind here.
So, that car with the Boh B·Q7777 license plate still ended up entering the Sea Realm.
After arriving at Xuena City and seeing the Ashen Arrow off, Du Yu planned to activate the Void Axe!
He really didn’t want to sit on a plane for eight hours to get back to the Great Xia Capital City!
It was ti to let the Void show its power!
That was on an open field outside Xuena City, around late morning, with bright, clear sunshine.
Squads of soldiers watched from afar, giving Du Yu a formal salute.
