Du Yu finally returned home and could finally rest.
Poor Senior Brother Fu, who works as both a driver and a cook, made lunch according to the Qingshi's orders.
At this time, in the private bathroom of the guest room on the first floor, Du Yu was lying in a large bathtub, and the water was covered with foam.
"Hey~" Xiaoyan was lying on Du Yu's bent knees, with only a furry little head above the water, and a foam hat on her head.
The same style as Lazy Sheep!
This is a hat that Du Yu specially made for her. It looks like an ice cream hat.
Xiaoyan's golden-brown fox eyes blinked as he looked at his master who was resting on his back, not knowing whether to disturb him or not.
Under the contract, she could feel Du Yu's physical and mental exhaustion. After thinking about it again and again, Xiaoyan still turned her head and looked at the two big tails emerging from the water.
At this moment, she is already an earth-level demon pet!
In other words, she has the ability to break away from the contract with the Demon Controller, but she has no intention of doing so. She really likes being with Du Yu.
Well...it's best to be together all the time.
Du Yu is already a demon warrior, and the promotion process to such a high level is frighteningly smooth!
The real situation is: as long as you have a slight tendency to advance, and with the youth master around, even a dog can give you promotion...
Now that Du Yu can upgrade the quality of the contract, the Demon Controller level contract will naturally make the spiritual communication between pets smoother.
However, for demon masters, the first two levels are the foundation. What can be obtained through promotion is mainly the improvement of physical attributes, such as strength, speed, etc.
Monster Controllers and Demon Controllers are still at the basic level and do not yet possess some special means.
When Du Yu reaches the third level, Demon Controller, he can summon elemental demon soldiers out of thin air, or he can make his own demon soldiers, which brings many benefits.
"Hey~" Xiaoyan called softly.
Du Yu opened his eyes, raised his head slightly, and looked at the little guy lying on his knees.
Obviously, Concubine Yan didn't want to be alone anymore. She jumped up, and like a fiery red towel, it stuck directly on Du Yu's face.
"Snapped!"
Du Yu put Xiaoyan on his shoulders and wiped his wet face: "Don't you want to play anymore? Let's wipe it clean and go out?"
"Hey!" Xiao Yan happily rubbed the side of Du Yu's face. Playing with water or something was just a novelty at first. Unfortunately, Xiao Youying didn't want to play, and didn't even like to touch it, otherwise she would still be able to bully it.
"By the way, can you swim?" Du Yu asked curiously, holding the back of Xiaoyan's neck and placing it in front of her face.
Canines generally can swim, right?
Xiaoyan dabbed some water on her little paws and seemed a little confused. She had been well taken care of since she was born. She didn't know what kind of survival skills she had.
Du Yu stretched out his palm and shook her two big fiery red tails: "Also, can your tails be used as propellers?"
"Huh?" Xiaoyan blinked, looking confused.
What is a propeller?
Du Yu looked carefully and saw that it didn't work. Once the two tails were turned, they seemed to be easily knotted?
If there are no knots, Xiaoyan can not only move forward at full speed in the water, but also fly?
Like Doraemon's bamboo dragonfly?
Hmm... I have to study it carefully in the future.
Du Yu opened the bathtub stopper, stood up, and turned on the shower. He rarely took a bath on weekdays, and always took a quick shower.
But someone said it well: I have been fighting for my whole life, so why can’t I enjoy it?
...
A few minutes later, Du Yu wore clean short-sleeved shorts, wrapped her little face in a thick bath towel in her hand, rubbed her slightly damp hair, and walked out of the room.
When passing by the green living room, he was teased by the branches of the firewood tree. The left side poked his waist and the right side pinched his face, which made Du Yu want to peel off its bark again...
This broken tree must be too lonely. In fact, there are many demonic plants in Qingshi's house, but most of the flowers and plants like to be quiet, and no one wants to play with the fire paulownia tree.
After finally catching the "toy" Du Yu, the Huotong Tree's true colors were revealed.
After a while, Du Yu was released by the "Bully Tree". The moment he was pushed out by the branch, another branch with a pitaya fruit was handed to him.
At this moment, Du Yu was confused!
What's the meaning?
Is this considered a tip?
Du Yu, who cares about you? He hurriedly picked the firewood fruit with one hand, but he hesitated before he wanted to escape.
He thought again and again, then looked up at the Fire Tung Tree: "Brother Shu, I'm free anyway, why don't you play with me again?"
"Snapped!"
A vine struck the floor fiercely, making a crisp sound.
He was startled and hurriedly fled back to the guest room with Xiaoyan in his arms: "Eat quickly, leave half for me."
"Hey!" Xiaoyan looked at her master's "earned money" and took a bite immediately without any hesitation.
The abundant fruit is so beautiful that once you bite it, your mouth will be full of juice.
She was also very well-behaved and left most of it for Du Yu. He lowered his head and swallowed the remaining half of the pitaya fruit.
Little Fenyang shouted happily: "It's delicious~"
"Ah." Du Yu's face was distorted by the sourness, and he muttered, "It tastes good, just vomit~"
Du Yu returned to the bathroom, rinsed his mouth, threw away the towel, and walked out of the guest room again.
When passing by the living room, he was stopped by the "Bully Tree" as expected. Such a scene gave Du Yu the feeling of restarting the game...
Only this time, Du Yu didn't resist too much.
Perhaps because he was dissatisfied with Du Yu's showy behavior, Huotongshu didn't give him a tip this time.
It’s so annoying!
Du Yu was full of resentment after being cheated on. He muttered something like "I'll peel off the bark of your tree sooner or later", and then came to the restaurant in search of the scent.
He happened to see Fu Jianzhou put the cover on the dishes and took off his apron.
"Senior Brother Fu."
"You will ask the young master to come down for dinner later." After saying that, Fu Jianzhou hung up his apron and quickly cleared the kitchen table.
Du Yu looked confused: "Where are you going?"
Fu Jianzhou: "The young master told me to leave after I finish making lunch."
Du Yu: "..."
Poor Senior Brother Fu, not only does he have to be a driver, but he also has to be a cook, and he is not allowed to take a bite of the meal after he has finished cooking?
"Junior brother, I'm leaving first. If you need anything, call me."
Du Yu hurriedly followed Fu Jianzhou's footsteps, walked all the way through the corridor, and sent him to the elevator door: "Senior brother, walk slowly."
"Snapped!"
Fu Jianzhou stood in front of the elevator and slapped Du Yu on the shoulder: "You have talent and hard work! I believe you can catch up with me soon! Come on!"
Seeing Fu Jianzhou's face full of blessings and expectations, Du Yu always felt that he had evil intentions.
I caught up with you, what next?
Let me take your place and be the driver and cook for the young master?
Fu Jianzhou stepped back into the elevator, showed a sunny smile to Du Yu, and waved goodbye.
Du Yu smacked his lips, walked back to the wooden stairs at home, and called upward: "Qingshi, it's time to eat."
"Um."
Hearing the woman's response, Du Yu also turned around and went to the restaurant. Just as he was setting the dishes, Yang Qingqing finally appeared in front of the restaurant wearing a gorgeous nightgown.
It can be seen that Qingshi likes the palace style very much, and also likes the color green. There are countless nightgowns at home, ranging from dark green to light green, and they are worn every day.
Yang Qingqing sat at the table and glanced at the little fire fox: "With two tails, you can learn earth-level demon skills."
"Yeah, I'll train her next."
"Before that, I will teach you the Demon Controller's contract first. She can also get more energy from your body. In addition, you must also adjust your mentality in a timely manner."
"What?" Du Yu was a little confused.
Yang Qingqing: "This time when you climb the tower, you are still the main force in the team. But as your demon pet advances, it won't be long before she is the one protecting you.
The racial gap is terrible. The advantage of the human race is brains and intelligence, but in many aspects such as demon skills and physical fitness, we cannot compete with the orcs."
"Hey~" Xiaoyan seemed to understand what Qingshi said, she jumped happily and raised her furry little head proudly.
"That's good." Du Yu also smiled and turned to look at the proud Xiao Yan, "The more powerful you are, the better."
"Haha." Yang Qingqing chuckled, "If you and I were born hundreds of years ago, I would not have said such things to you."
"ah?"
Yang Qingqing: "Because a long time ago, the fighting power of the human race was not inferior to that of monsters."
Du Yu suddenly realized that Yang Qingqing insisted on rushing Senior Brother Fu to leave, probably because he wanted to tell him something.
Yang Qingqing elegantly overlapped her legs and tilted her body slightly. The flowers and leaves behind were pieced together in layers to form the back of the chair in time, allowing Yang Qingqing to lean on it.
"Where to start..." She thought for a moment and then said, "Your Shadow Gu Tower story is, to a certain extent, an origin story."
Du Yu nodded silently, Chapter 1 "Origin"?
Yang Qingqing: "It tells how its owner died tragically and how it fell into the hands of evil people."
She paused and said with emotion: "It's just that we didn't expect that this origin story actually involves twin trees and contains a top-secret information."
Du Yu: "That special twin tree?"
Yang Qingqing: "Yes, you noticed the difference the first time you saw it and asked me about it. In fact, those are the orthodox twin trees."
"Oh?" Du Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "The one I saw in the newbie's foreign land in the southern suburbs, one withered and withered, and the other full of vitality, isn't it an authentic twin tree?"
"It's authentic, but it evolved into this later. A long time ago, the twin trees were alive and not withered."
Du Yu hurriedly asked: "Why did it become like this?"
Yang Qingqing thought for a while and said: "During the hundred years of the third century, the war between the human race and the orc race reached its peak, and the battle was so intense that the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
We can't figure out the story line, there are only stories that are pieced together one by one. I'm afraid no one in the world can tell it clearly. In short, after entering the 4th century, all the twin trees in the world have changed their shapes.
Whether it was the twin trees that existed in the past or the newly emerged twin trees, they have all become their current form."
Du Yu: "If one plant dies, the other one survives?"
Yang Qingqing suddenly asked: "Twin trees, why are they called 'Twins'?"
Du Yu shook his head.
Yang Qingqing suddenly raised her fingers, and the flower stems suddenly became entangled together, forming a model of twin trees.
She said: "One of the twin trees is called the Tree of Demonic Breath.
The tree is now full of vitality, it continuously releases the breath of monsters and nourishes the creatures of monsters."
Yang Qingqing stretched out her finger and tapped another entangled flower stem: "The other of the twin trees is called the tree of gods.
It is the tree that is withering now, which once spread the spirit of the gods to the world and nourished us humans."
Du Yu: "Nourish us humans?"
Yang Qingqing: "Demon control is the life-saving straw that our ancestors grasped when they were forced to have no choice but to live or die.
Before the 3rd century, although there had always been a position of demon controller, people did not favor it. The so-called demon controller was also considered to be a heretic in the cultural background of that time.
It’s hard for you to imagine how intense the conflict between humans and monsters was back then. And at that time, our ancestors were all spirit masters.”
Du Yu: "Spirit Controller!"
Slowly, a flower stem reached the left side of Du Yu's chest and gently touched his Lingxu point: "Aura, the one who controls the spirit."
Du Yu opened his mouth stupidly, unable to digest such information for a while. There was no such information in history books or even on the Internet.
Yang Qingqing's voice was filled with emotion: "Perhaps in order to stop this never-ending war, the Twin Tree made its own choice. Between the human race and the orc race, it abandoned us humans.
From then on, the tree that released the spirit of the gods gradually withered and withered, while the tree that released the breath of the monster became more and more lush."
