When the branches of the firewood tree were pulled away, Du Yu realized that he had been dragged back to the living room, next to the flowerpot.
He lay softly on the floor, looking like he was about to cry without tears.
But the firewood tree still had more to say, and the only small branch left poked his waist again.
Poke~
Du Yu suddenly trembled, and then he sat up and looked at the firewood tree with resentful eyes: "It's over, I'm not clean anymore."
It's always okay for Huotongshu to pretend to be innocent.
Since the last branch was pulled back, it has remained motionless, pretending to be a normal plant.
Du Yu simply started sitting cross-legged, leaning on his knees with his elbows and supporting his face with his palms as usual: "Just leave it like this, sooner or later I have to move away."
With just these words, the pretending innocent Huotong tree moved again!
It quickly wrapped its branches around Du Yu's wrist. As the branches swayed and the leaves rustled, the firewood tree seemed to be shaking its head, not wanting Du Yu to leave.
"Huh?" Du Yu was stunned for a moment. Huotongshu's humane expression was completely beyond his expectation.
Another branch came out, and as the dense leaves turned layer by layer, a pitaya fruit appeared in front of Du Yu's face.
"Emm..." Du Yu was wrapped around the branches by his wrists, and the pitaya fruit was forced into his hand.
Feeling Huotongshu's efforts to stay, Du Yu couldn't help but lower his head and smile.
In the world of demon control, all living things have spirituality. Even a tree still has feelings after all.
Du Yu didn't want to admit it, but after moving here, he thought that he would also miss the Fire Tung Tree.
Although it always teases and ravages itself, the days of special training are still vivid in its mind. Whenever I go home, the branches of the firewood tree are the first to greet me.
Even when he was promoted just now, Huotongshu no longer disliked himself for being dirty, but tried his best to help him break through the strength level.
"Hey..." Du Yu held the firewood fruit in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
"Shasha~"
The firewood tree swayed again, and seemed to be shaking its head. The dark living room was once again filled with the sweet sound of leaves.
"It's not a problem to live in other people's homes all the time." Du Yu touched the leaves of the firewood tree with one hand and whispered.
"Duyuduyu~"
"Um?"
"This tree is a good tree. It likes us and always gives us fruit to eat."
"Haha." Du Yu smiled. Even Xiao Fenyang, who was sworn in with the tree, said this. This shows how much the Fire Tung Tree helped him.
Du Yu's heart moved and he said softly: "It's better than this. I'll move closer. It's best to live downstairs from Master Qing's house.
In this case, wouldn't it be possible for you to poke out the branches from the window and tease... uh, play with me?"
Qingshi's house is located on a staircase, so the nearest place is naturally downstairs.
Expensive, of course it will be very expensive. But now Du Yu's vision has been much higher, and he is even more energetic!
On the premise of ensuring that all the demon pets can eat high-end pet rations, of course my "den" can be better, after all, I am an expert.
The house should be cleaner and bigger. It can also build a small garden for Xiao Bai and a children's room for Xiao Youying...
"Shasha~" The leaves swayed gently.
Xiao Fenyang: "Do we have enough money to buy the house downstairs?"
"Earn money." Du Yu was confident. He was never worried about being penniless at a certain stage. The real problem was that he had no stable source of income.
The bottomless pit in the southern suburbs gave Du Yu a huge guarantee of survival.
Daxia’s rewards for demon controllers on the battlefield are really great!
And because Du Yu is an out-of-print spirit master and is near the Shadow Gu Tower, so he needs monster souls, so Du Yu will definitely hang out on the battlefield for a long time in the future.
In this way, you can achieve success in one fell swoop!
"Are the people downstairs willing to sell it to us?" Xiao Fenyang's voice was filled with expectation, as if she also wanted a little nest of her own.
Indeed, during the days at Qingshi's house, Xiao Fenyang did not dare to show his demonic spirit.
She could only sneak out of the room in the dead of night to see Du Yu who was sleeping soundly.
Hearing Xiao Fenyang's words, Du Yu looked a little strange.
yes!
I have been training at home for more than a month, jumping up and down, but no one from downstairs has come up to look for me?
Or is there no one downstairs at all?
Since the elevator was card-operated, Du Yu couldn't go to other floors. However, every time he went home, he never saw the lights on on the 16th floor.
While thinking about it, Du Yu stood up and walked towards the guest room.
However, he forgot that the tree branch was still wrapped around his wrist, and his figure was immediately grabbed again.
Obviously, Huotongshu doesn't want him to leave.
Du Yu said angrily: "If I don't leave, I don't have anywhere to go now. I'm going to wash my hands, and you prepare the fruit."
Huh~
The Fire Tung Tree immediately pulled away its branches, even pieced together a leaf hand, pushed Du Yu, and signaled him to take a bath quickly.
Du Yu: "..."
He walked to the guest room with a sad look on his face, looked at the fruit in his hand, made up his mind, and took a bite.
Oops~
It still has the familiar sour taste, but it is no longer my life!
Du Yu comforted himself and swallowed the firewood fruit in three mouthfuls.
"Du Yu is the best~"
Du Yu's face was squeezed into a bun, and he grinned and said: "As long as you are happy."
He opened the door and walked into the guest room, but stopped for a moment and then backed out.
There was a note posted on the door of the guest room at some point.
Du Yu took off the note, walked into the room, turned on the light, and Junxiu's handwriting came into view:
"Beware of arrogance and impetuosity, and devote yourself to practice."
There is also a signature below, which is a beautiful connected character: Qing.
Such beautiful words made Du Yu think of Qingshi's graceful figure.
"Yes." Du Yu responded in a low voice, folded the note, put it in the desk drawer, and pressed it under the red square box.
But now, he is practicing all the time.
There are a bunch of shapeless monsters trapped in the Shadow Gu Tower. Since they are shapeless, the prey will naturally not be able to make any waves.
Under constant refining, Du Yu was baptized by the demon breath all the time.
It can even be said that at this moment, it doesn't matter whether Du Yu can enter the realm of demons and spirits to practice.
Because the demon breath provided to him by the Shadow Gu Tower has always kept him in a state of overexertion!
What he is thinking about now is not how to absorb the demon breath at all, but how to digest the large amount of demon breath in his body.
Du Yu believes that the most important thing for him to do at this stage is to hone his skills, preferably the kind that soaks his clothes with sweat, and digest the gifts of the Shadow Gu Tower during training/battles.
"Duyuduyu~"
"What, you still want to eat fruit?" Du Yu came back to his senses and asked in his mind, and was already ready to sacrifice himself.
It’s already like this anyway, don’t say anything else, just keep showing off!
Xiao Fenyang: "During this period, my body has recovered a lot."
Du Yu was delighted: "Oh?"
"Sister Ta helped me a lot."
Little Fenyang was also filled with joy and said in a sweet voice: "I am a monster~ When Sister Ta can absorb the complete monster in the future, I will recover faster!"
Without waiting for Du Yu's response, Xiao Fenyang continued: "You must quickly advance to the level of Demon Master. My Eye of Fenyang has even more powerful functions."
Du Yu nodded heavily: "Okay!"
Du Yu, who was in a great mood, immediately rushed into the bathroom and took a refreshing bubble bath.
After washing away the dust from his body, Du Yu threw all the clothes into the washing machine and let it purr. He also wrapped his wet face in a big towel, returned to the bedroom, and threw himself on the soft big bed.
Picking up the charging phone on the side, Du Yu read the message.
During this period, Du Yu did not lose contact. Since his schedule was very regular, he would occasionally chat with members of the organization in the evening.
The name of the small group of three is "Yan".
This was undoubtedly changed by Li Mengnan. Not only that, organization members were also required to have a unified name format and use single characters.
Looking at the silent group, Du Yu sent a message: "I'm going home."
Soon, Li Mengnan responded.
Nan: "I'm finally back! Your master's mission has been completed? Has Master Qing assigned you the next mission?"
Yu: "No."
Nan: "That's great, you come to school to play! The monthly exams are about to happen, how about you come and participate in the qualifying competition at the end of the month? Clean up those shady old disciples!"
The term "old disciple" is obviously a product of the development of the times, and has just emerged in major demon schools.
Corresponding to the old disciples are naturally the "new disciples", also known as paper crane disciples.
Wherever there are people, there will naturally be rivers and lakes.
And where there are interests, there will naturally be struggles.
A large number of paper crane disciples, with their explosive talent potential and unparalleled growth rate, achieved the results of one year's training as "old disciples" in just two or three months, and entered the Demon Spirit Academy.
The Paper Crane disciples are robbing the teaching resources that belong to the old disciples. How can the conflict between the two be minor?
This is in modern society and under the high-pressure control of Demon Spirit Academy.
Therefore, the Old Disciples and the Paper Crane Disciples have not yet reached the point of fighting each other, but overt and covert conflicts will naturally arise one after another and are unavoidable.
Nan: "Are you talking? Where is the person?"
Yu: "I won't go."
Nan: "Aren't you free? Practice your skills. This is a good opportunity for you to stand out! It feels good to think about being a saint in front of others~ By the way, how is your practice?"
Yu: "Peak."
Nan: "Haha! My second brother is indeed invincible! Come on, come on, represent our Paper Crane disciples and kill those mean guys!"
Yu: "No."
Nan: "???"
Yu: "(Put your mouth and smile)"
The next moment, the video call came up. Du Yu looked at the screen of his phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally connected.
In the picture, Li Mengnan showed half of his face, and his beautiful big eyes were full of anger: "Why are you acting like a scumbag!
I'm excited to say a bunch of things to you, and you just give me one word, and then two words come out?"
Du Yu hugged Xiaoyan in the bath towel and put it in front of the phone: "Pay attention to your image, King Yan is watching."
The macho guy can change his face faster than Du Yu can advance~
I saw Li Mengnan's whole face exposed, the corners of his crystal lips raised, and a sweet smile on his face: "Hi~ Xiaoyan, long time no see!"
"嘤~"
Li Mengnan looked at Du Yu: "Are you coming to the qualifying match at the end of the month?"
Du Yu was helpless: "This kind of activity is not mandatory for me. Also, what are the rewards for the monthly exam?"
Li Mengnan blinked: "What kind of reward can you get from the monthly exam? Is it to make you famous and make our organization shine?
Oh...by the way, you can get extra credits."
Du Yu hesitated for a long time, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, Qingshi clearly asked me to 'concentrate on practice'."
Hearing what Du Yu said, Li Mengnan calmed down.
She thought seriously for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right. Since Master has such a request, you'd better stop wandering and don't make the young master unhappy."
Du Yu smiled. Although Xiao Mengnan was crazy on weekdays, he could still understand key matters clearly.
He asked: "Has Master Qing contacted you?"
Li Mengnan: "No, you..."
Du Yu scratched his head: "I have already recommended it to you, but the Qingshi is too busy. You should prepare well and try your best to get good results and increase your chips."
Li Mengnan nodded repeatedly and said in a much lower voice: "Thank you."
Du Yu smiled: "Prepare well for the monthly exam. If you really need it, I can help you train and simulate actual combat."
"Well... besides, the monthly exams are approaching, and our training classes are also very full." Li Mengnan waved his hand, "The lights will be turned off soon, and I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
"Okay, okay, come on."
"Bye bye Xiaoyan!"
"嘤~"
Du Yu hung up the video call, but saw a private message.
Wei: "Back?"
Yu: "Ah, at Qingshi's house."
As soon as Du Yu sent the message, he felt his ankle was wrapped around a branch.
His fingers froze, and when he lowered his head to look, he had already been pulled off the big bed.
With a "pop" sound, Du Yu sat down on the ground.
He rolled his eyes angrily, holding his cell phone while texting. He didn't even make a move to struggle, and let Huotongshu drag him to the living room, pretending to be cleaning the floor of Qingshi's house.
Such a gesture carries with it an indescribable sense of freedom and ease...
Wei: "How's it going? Is everything going well?"
Du Yu clicked on the screen of his mobile phone and reported the results of his practice.
Far away in an independent courtyard, Lin Shiwei was wearing a black nightgown, sitting on a swing and swaying gently. On the lawn at her feet were several little wolf dogs playing.
She looked down at the message on the screen, her eyes full of admiration, and a hint of pride: "My family invites you to be a guest at home."
Yu: "Huh?"
Wei: "Contracting a Chenling Deer is a big deal. Maybe you don't think anything of it, but my family really wants to see you and thank you in person."
As the message was sent out, there was no response from Du Yu for a long time.
Lin Shiwei licked her lips, hesitated for a long time, and tapped her fingers on the screen of her phone.
It's just that she wrote, deleted, deleted, deleted, wrote, and wrote. For a while, she didn't send the message.
Just when she didn't know what to do, a message suddenly popped up on the screen.
Yu: "Okay, no problem!"
Lin Shiwei felt relieved immediately, but the message came again.
Yu: "The firewood tree just took out my cell phone."
A smile finally appeared on Lin Shiwei's face: "Okay, I will pick you up at my aunt's house tomorrow."
