When the vehicle returned to Xishu Garden, it was already afternoon.
Under Yang Qingqing's instructions, Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan nodded in agreement, said goodbye to their master respectfully, then drove away and went home to have a good rest.
Only Du Yu and Yang Qingqing were left standing at the door of the unit building, watching the vehicles drive away.
"Why, you can't bear to leave?" Looking at the complicated look on his little apprentice's face, Yang Qingqing joked with a smile.
"No, no." Du Yu immediately looked away.
There was nothing he couldn't bear to part with. Outside the gate of Shiyan City - Demon Spirit Realm, Du Yu also stayed alone in a small tent for 7 days, not with his teammates.
The reason why he was depressed was simply because he had experienced a doomsday.
Of course, it is not accurate to say it is the "doomsday". At best, it can only be regarded as the beginning of a crisis.
Now, the world of demons and spirits on that side has become clear, and the crisis seems to have been resolved. But Du Yu always feels uneasy about those two mysterious figures.
I don't know what will happen in the future...
I hope the military officers can arrest those two people and interrogate them to get useful intelligence information.
Du Yu lowered his head and followed Yang Qingqing into the elevator.
Arriving at the seventeenth floor, Du Yu was about to step out of the elevator door when he found his master standing at the door, waving in the distance.
"Qingshi?" Du Yu was curious and pressed the door button with one hand, not knowing what she was doing.
A flower vine poked out of the house, passed through the long corridor, and came to Yang Qingqing's eyes.
The woman casually took off the key chain from the flower vine, turned around and handed it to Du Yu: "Here."
"This is?" Du Yu looked at the keychain and didn't react for a moment.
"Your house key." Yang Qingqing poked out a flower vine from her fingertips, passed by Du Yu's side, lightly clicked the "16" button on the keyboard, and then clicked the door button.
As the elevator door slowly closed, Yang Qingqing stood outside the door with a smile on her face, quietly watching Du Yu go.
It wasn't until the elevator door closed that Du Yu came back to his senses and looked at the keys and access cards in his hands. For some reason, his thoughts became more complicated.
"Ding~"
The elevator only went down one level, so Du Yu certainly didn't have time to think too much.
The scene outside the door has also changed.
There is no green corridor covered with flowers and leaves, but only white walls, tiled floors, and the sun shining on the ground through the windows of the corridor.
"Wow..."
The elevator door closed again, and Du Yu hurriedly reached out and stopped the elevator door.
He stepped out and looked around. He could see the end of the corridor at a glance on the left side. The space was not small, and it was more than enough to pile up some sundries or build several cat houses and kennels.
right......
Compared with the 17th floor, which is directly accessible from the corridor, Du Yu's home has a security door.
The key entered the hole and Du Yu gently opened the door.
The house is spacious, clean and bright, and can even be described as spotless.
He thought again and again, but took off his shoes, stepped in, and then paused for a moment.
It's not like there's nothing in the house.
In the northeast corner of the living room, there is a tree standing there quietly, motionless.
"Brother Shu?" Du Yu was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly.
"Shasha~"
The firewood tree finally "came alive".
It seemed to have endured it for a long time and had been waiting quietly. When Du Yu finally discovered it, the firewood tree stopped pretending at all!
Branch after branch quickly reached out and wrapped around Du Yu's wrists and ankles.
Du Yu: "..."
"Oh!" With a soft cry, he was dragged directly to the firewood tree.
The leaves were swaying, and a red ribbon with a bow appeared in front of Du Yu's eyes.
Gift?
It seems that a gift from a demon plant at the peak of the heaven level is too expensive.
The leaves of the firewood tree were turbulent, a card was revealed, and a string of elegant handwriting came into view:
Whatever you get is what you want.
There is also a continuous word signature on the back: Qing.
Looking at Qingshi's handwriting, Du Yu felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
It's a very beautiful blessing, and it sounds very luxurious.
The next moment, endless branches came and instantly wrapped Du Yu into a cocoon of leaves, but...
After more than ten seconds, the branches of the firewood tree were retracted, leaving Du Yu sitting on the ground.
The firewood tree obviously realized that the new owner was not in the right mood and had no intention of playing around.
It reached down a branch and gently poked Du Yu's face, as if asking something.
"It's not because of you." Du Yu sat cross-legged in front of the flowerpot, pulling the branch with one hand and gently twirling it.
"Duyuduyu~"
"Um?"
Little Fenyang's charming voice came, very excited: "Why are you unhappy? We have a family!"
"Yes, we have a family." Du Yu raised his eyes and looked around.
The large house is spacious and bright, and the afternoon sunlight shines into the house through the windows, giving it a unique warmth and comfort.
Even though this place is empty and has no furniture, for Du Yu, this is his dream home.
Little Fenyang asked curiously: "Then why are you unhappy?"
Du Yu scratched his head, feeling very distressed.
I finally have a home, but does it all make sense?
After he saw the battlefield and briefly understood the truth of the world, he believed that the prosperous Great Xia was just a fantasy built on ruins.
But at that time, Du Yu still had the desire to have a family.
Until a week ago, until the first twin tree in the world fell, the cold air swallowed up the world like a dark cloud...
Only then did Du Yu realize that the end of the world was not far away from him.
Little Fenyang whispered: "You are about to be promoted to the Demon Control Master. The demon pets have been trained so well. We have also gained spiritual power and have Sister Ta!
We are so powerful, and now we have our own home, should you be happy?"
"Yeah." Du Yu nodded, "Yes!"
He wiped his face, stood up, and felt a burst of demonic breath in front of his forehead.
"Huh?" Xiaoyan was soaking in the acupoint home, enjoying the nourishment of the Shadow Gu Tower. When she was suddenly called out, her reaction speed was extremely fast, and her tail quickly hooked Du Yu's neck.
Little Youying floated next to Du Yu's face, looking around curiously.
This... seems to be the home of the owner, the master.
But why is there nothing left but a firewood tree?
Could it be that the firewood tree went crazy and threw away everything?
Xiao Youying opened her eyes wide, retreated slightly behind Du Yu's head, and looked at the Fire Tung Tree warily, as if she was afraid that the Fire Tung Tree would throw her out too?
"Come, Prince Yan, visit our home." Du Yu pointed his finger at Xiaoyan's furry head.
"嘤~"
"Yes, I promised you back then." Du Yu's mood gradually improved and he said with a smile, "Go and choose your bedroom."
"Hey!" The fiery red figure jumped down, running like a child, choosing his own house.
Strictly speaking, Du Yu's bedroom was chosen. After all, even if she slept, she would sleep in her master's arms.
The layout of the upstairs and downstairs is the same, the only difference is that the 16th floor is a flat floor and there is no second floor.
While Xiao Yan was taking Xiao Youying around to visit her new home, Du Yu came to the balcony and looked at the Changting Lake view below and was lost in thought.
He could still remember the first time he came to Xishu Garden.
At that time, a guard boy drove him in in a sightseeing patrol car. It was his first time to see such a high-end community, which was quite eye-opening.
Just a few months later, he moved in here.
Although this mortgage may take a long, long time to pay off...
Du Yu, who was secretly lost in thought, didn't know how long he had been thinking about it, when a cold voice came from behind him:
"This world is a beautiful place."
Du Yu was startled and quickly turned his head to look.
Yang Qingqing seemed to have just finished taking a bath, her long hair was slightly damp, and she had also put on a gorgeous nightgown.
"Qingshi."
She did not respond, but took two steps forward, stood side by side with Du Yu, and looked down out of the window.
The trees surrounding the lake are full of autumn leaves, giving it a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.
After admiring it quietly for a while, she asked: "What do you think?"
Du Yu: "Well...it's very beautiful."
"Don't look at me, look out the window."
Du Yu looked embarrassed and turned to look at the window.
Yang Qingqing stood with her hands behind her hands and said softly: "So we must protect it."
Du Yu: "..."
He knew that his emotions should have been discovered by the master.
Otherwise, as tired as she is, she should have a good sleep at home instead of coming downstairs at this time.
"When I first joined the army, every time I came out of the battlefield, I would feel like I was in another world."
Yang Qingqing looked far away, looking at the city streets in the distance with the endless flow of vehicles: "The bottomless darkness and the bustling city are like two worlds.
By traveling back and forth between the two worlds, I can better understand what I am protecting."
Du Yu also raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
Yang Qingqing: "Crisis has always been there and never stopped, but you have never been exposed to it before.
There are people like me who protect people like you very well. Let your worries be limited to ordinary life and never worry about the abyss."
"Um......"
"But it's different now, you are one of us."
"What?"
Yang Qingqing raised her head slightly and gestured to the bustling city buildings in the distance, the meaning was self-evident.
Du Yu looked at the scene of a peaceful and prosperous age and said solemnly: "Yes."
Yang Qingqing smiled and raised her hand, as if to rub Du Yu's head.
Du Yu hurriedly took a step back and whispered: "Dirty."
Since entering the house, he hasn't had time to wash himself or even change his clothes.
Yang Qingqing did not insist, turned around and left, and heard a sentence from afar: "Spend some thought and make your home more cozy.
You spent a lot of money to buy a house from me. In the next three to fifty years, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy a new house and will have to live here."
Listening to the woman's teasing words, Du Yu grinned.
He knew that his master was using another method to make him feel at ease and let him throw away his messy thoughts.
"Nai~"
Although Qingshi left, a snow-white figure ran over and plunged into Du Yu's arms.
Du Yu rubbed Xiaobai's head and looked at Xiaoyan and Youying running happily around the house, and he secretly made up his mind.
Master Qing is right.
The crisis has never stopped, but the summer is still here, and the sun still rises every day!
Besides, with our promotion speed, how could the twin trees fall?
In less than a year and a half, if the twin trees become crooked again, I will straighten them with my own hands!
"Duyuduyu~"
"Um?"
"Why are you in a good mood again? You are so fickle~"
Du Yu:???
"Hehe~"
Du Yu curled his lips angrily and looked towards the huge living room.
This is my first home in two lifetimes, so I have to think carefully about how to decorate it. Well... the palace style is very good, right?
It sounds very arrogant and lascivious,
It fits my title of "Prince Du's Mansion" very well...
