Late at night, inside the Li family mansion in Songta Home Community.
In a dark and quiet guest room, Du Yu's body trembled slightly and he woke up from his sleep.
With the moonlight outside the window, he looked at the unfamiliar ceiling. He was a little confused and reacted for a while before he remembered where he was.
"Uh." Du Yu covered his forehead with one hand and sat up.
broken!
You seem to have drunk too much?
That Hou'er wine, um, Shangui wine is truly a fairy wine in the world. It's sour and sweet in the mouth, and leaves a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth after drinking it.
The problem is, this thing tastes like juice, but it has a lot of stamina!
"What's wrong?" A concerned voice came from beside him.
Li Mengnan, who was woken up, had a gentle, gentle, soft and waxy voice. How could he still look crazy like he usually does?
She also sat up, cuddled up against Du Yu, rested her face on his shoulder, and said softly: "Are you having a nightmare?"
"No." Du Yu shook his head, "Just woke up suddenly, huh?"
He stopped talking and looked at his sleepy girlfriend: "Why are you here?"
Li Mengnan looked dissatisfied and pressed his forehead to the side of Du Yu's head: "I sneaked here~
You were sleeping so soundly that you didn’t even feel the fluctuations of my wind demon breath.”
"oh."
Li Mengnan suddenly remembered something and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Do you still remember what you promised my parents at dinner?"
"Of course." Du Yu responded simply. He stretched out his hand and took Xiao Mengnan into his arms.
He said he drank too much, but actually he was a little dizzy. Of course he remembered what Du Yu said.
What's more, when he said that sentence, Du Yu was very serious and serious: "I will definitely take good care of Meng Nan."
For Du Yu, this is the promise he made.
But for the three members of the Li family, what Du Yu said was the truth.
In the past few years, his careful care for Li Mengnan was obvious to everyone.
Mission after mission, battle after battle, traveling through various realms again and again, a fantastic and dangerous journey.
Every aspect, no matter how small or small.
Du Yu was like a huge demon that enveloped Li Mengnan.
Her whole person, her life, and even her future destiny were all under his protection.
"Yes." Li Mengnan leaned in Du Yu's arms, closed his eyes, and was filled with joy.
Du Yu recalled the dinner time and suddenly said: "Did the dog advance?"
"Haha~" Li Mengnan smiled, remembering that after the meal, Du Yu habitually washed the dishes.
This time, her mother refused to let him go no matter what, and Du Yu was forcefully dragged to the living room by his father.
While sitting on the sofa, Du Yu looked at the Wolf Lake dog curled up next to the coffee table, touched it, and then
Then the promotion window will open for the Wolf Lake Dog at the peak stage of the Heaven Level!
That scene left Li Kuanren stunned for a moment.
Du Yu even sent Buddha to the West. He activated the Shadow Gu Pagoda to help the Wolf Lake Dog condense the demon soul into shape, and personally sent the dog into the ranks of "divine pets".
The Wolf Lake dog was shaking its head happily. Its original body length was 1.8 meters, but it suddenly increased to 2.5 meters. It was very majestic.
Li Kuanren was laughing from ear to ear, and then, he was grabbed by Du Yu's hand.
Du Yu didn't touch Uncle Li like a dog. The two parties simply shook hands, but the essence of Du Yu's behavior was the same.
That scene made Li Mengnan laugh so hard.
Du Yu felt dizzy and didn't know what to say. Anyway, he really wanted to give Father Li a ride.
As a successful businessman, Li Kuanren is naturally a well-rounded boss and will not make the atmosphere awkward.
He held Du Yu's hand and talked about everything. They chatted for a long time. Well, it didn't work out in the end.
"I couldn't help Uncle Li." Du Yu held Wenxiang Nephrite in his arms, feeling a little regretful.
Li Mengnan snorted: "He is only focused on making money, and his spiritual practice has been neglected for decades. No matter how good the opportunity is, he can't seize it.
It’s true, dogs are better than my dad. Eh?”
Du Yu: "."
You are really a filial daughter of Songgu Pagoda!
Li Mengnan's face turned red: "I mean, dogs at least know how to work hard and practice."
Du Yu didn't dare to say anything and directly changed the subject: "You and Wolf Lake Dog should have a good communication and don't cause any trouble."
To the world, spiritual level demon pets are divine pets.
Especially after the monster souls are gathered, the monster's intelligence will be further developed.
This is also the fundamental reason why some spirit-level monsters have "dramatic changes in temperament."
"Don't worry." Li Mengnan said nonchalantly, "I'm here."
This is true.
In front of Divine General Mengnan, there was no difference between the so-called spirit-level beasts and mortal-level cubs.
As long as she gives a little warning, nothing unexpected will happen.
"Yeah." Du Yu responded softly, turning to look out the window at the night.
Snowflakes were falling in the night sky, and under the dim light of the street lights, they looked very beautiful.
"Go to sleep." Li Mengnan raised his head slightly and buried his face in Du Yu's neck.
Du Yu was looking at the dim lights outside the window, secretly lost in thought.
Li Mengnan realized that this guy wanted to see Songguta City again.
Really, you can never get enough of it?
Li Mengnan glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 3:30 in the morning, and she couldn't help but feel something in her heart.
She suggested: "Shall we go out for a walk?"
"Ah?" Du Yu was a little stunned by the sudden words.
Li Mengnan curled her lips: "It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it's three o'clock in the morning. There won't be any fools wandering on the street."
Du Yu: "."
I suspect you are calling me stupid, but why am I so moved?
"Let's go." Li Mengnan rubbed his long hair lazily, "I'll accompany you."
Ever since he took up the role of controlling demons, Du Yu's main focus has been on the tactic of "habit".
Facts have proved that when facing Du Yu, Shen Mengnan was no less willing to give in.
Du Yu got up and got out of bed, muttering: "This god-general is too humble, and he has to go out in the dark."
Li Mengnan smiled and said, "Would you like to wear the coat that dad brought back for you?"
For Du Yu's visit, the Li family specially prepared a gift - Qianye clothes.
Li Kuanren was originally in the Yaozhi clothing business, but when he took action, even Du Yu, who was well-informed, was shocked.
It was a coat carefully made from the leaves of a demon plant. It is said that its material is made of 188 kinds of demon plant leaves!
As for why it is called Qianye Yi and not "Hundred Leaf Yi".
It’s a product, just brag about it.
Maybe it’s because when people mention louver, they tend to think of hot pot?
No matter what, Du Yu liked this coat very much. It was like a large cloak and looked very impressive when worn.
It is worth mentioning that this piece of clothing is just for looking good. It will not give the demon controller any help in combat. Instead, it is as fragile as ordinary clothing.
"Here." Li Mengnan handed over the gray coat and said dissatisfiedly, "You shouldn't tell dad that you like gray."
"Haha." Du Yu smiled, put on his Chiba coat, and followed Li Mengnan out of the room.
"Woo~" In the living room, the Wolf Lake Dog moved its ears and stood up from the soft cushion.
"Shh." Li Mengnan raised a slender finger and put it against his lips.
The Wolf Lake Dog tilted its head, and as the girl pressed her hand, it obediently climbed down.
"I just said the dog is very good." Li Mengnan whispered proudly, holding Du Yu's hand and walking towards the door.
Wolf Lake Dog blinked and watched the two men open the door and leave. Through the window, it saw two figures, one gray and one white, flying quietly.
In the vast night, there is snow falling all over the sky.
The two stood quietly, taking in the Songgu Tower City.
"You really like Songgu Pagoda." Li Mengnan slowly flew forward and squeezed his palm.
"Yes, everything has been given to me here." Du Yu looked around and saw that every street was very familiar, "I met you."
This city carries the memory of Du Yu’s struggle all the way.
From a poor young man to a pawn under the Qingshi sect.
From the first paper crane disciple of Songgu Pagoda, to the famous national protector god general in Daxia.
Until now, he has become the guardian of the twin sacred trees, traveling through the major tree realms.
In the difficult years of fighting against the Cold Tree, this small city went through ups and downs with Du Yu.
On the 17th floor, Du Yu looked at it with blooming flowers and thousands of lights.
On the 16th floor, Du Yu looked at it, deserted, dark and lonely.
While staying at Chenling Mountain, Du Yu saw it restored to its former glory, bustling with people and brightly lit.
People in the city come and go, but Songguta City remains the same.
This city has always been with Du Yu.
Later, when people came back, they found that there was a magnificent stone statue in the city, standing quietly with the city.
"Huh~"
The tails of their coats were flapping, and the two of them fell through the wind and snow into Central Park, looking up at the towering stone sculptures.
On the rocky mountain that its left foot is stepping on, there is a giant mountain-breaking ax embedded in it.
The stone bow in its hand is open like a full moon, pointing far to the western horizon.
Suddenly, a sound of thin footsteps came from behind.
Li Mengnan turned around and saw only a group of soldiers.
The sculpture area here is actually guarded by demon troops?
Hmm. Think about it, this statue is extremely sacred to Songgu Pagoda, and even to Daxia, so it must be well protected.
When the leading soldier saw the girl's face, he couldn't help but look startled. He immediately raised his right fist and the team immediately stopped.
Du Yu also turned to look and nodded apologetically: "Excuse me."
The soldiers reacted for a moment, immediately stood up and saluted, and then left silently.
Du Yu turned his head and looked up at the towering sculpture again.
Will it always stand here and accompany Songguta City?
Maybe.
The Hanshu clan is cunning by nature, but when Du Yu faced Tushan Continent - the Tree of Youhan, Hanshu's words were true:
Outside, I don’t know how many cold trees there are.
Ash Continent Hanshu has also clearly told Du Yu that it is still conquering the tree world and will never stop.
Maybe at some point, another cold tree will find the world of Daxia and invade this world.
It seems to be very difficult to maintain long-term peace and stability in Daxia and to keep this sculpture with Songguta City.
Everyone in Qingmen is not ignorant of the world. Everyone knows that crisis is always there and may break out at any time.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Mengnan held Du Yu's arm and asked softly.
"I wonder" Du Yu hesitated for a moment, "Where is the end of the mission?"
His target is of course the Ash Frost Tree.
But as Du Yu continued to struggle, he sadly discovered that he was embarking on an endless road.
"Just cut down the cold trees one by one and it'll be fine~" Li Mengnan said softly, "Why are you thinking so much?"
The girl said this with a very lively thought: Although the journey of cutting down trees with you is a process, is it not a happy ending?
Du Yu turned his head and lightly placed a seal on the girl's pretty face.
Li Mengnan said nothing, but held Du Yu's arm tighter.
Yes, this is what I want, the best ending.
"The cold trees will have 'roots', right?"
"Huh?" Li Mengnan raised his eyes and looked at Du Yu.
Du Yu said softly: "When I was weak and ignorant, I thought that there were countless twin trees in Daxia.
Later Xiaota told me that there is only one twin tree in the world - the Kunlun Sacred Tree."
Li Mengnan frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
Du Yu slowly spoke: "If we look at it from a higher perspective, is the Kunlun Sacred Tree also a branch?
It’s just that I don’t know about the Kunlun Sacred Tree, Bahuang Sacred Tree, Tushan Sacred Tree, etc.”
Li Mengnan nodded thoughtfully: "There is indeed a trace of perception between the sacred trees."
"Similarly, is Han Shu also like this?"
Li Mengnan pursed her lips: "Yeah"
Du Yu sighed softly: "Bahuang Continent and Tushan Continent were all found by Saint Xu and Yue Mang Dao in the territory of Taixu.
Maybe somewhere in the realm of Taixu, behind the entrance to a certain world, there is a real cold tree hidden."
Du Yu paused and said: "The original body is Hanshu."
"Du Yu, let's not think about these things for now." Li Mengnan was a little worried. She had complete awe of the Taixu realm.
The girl also knew that if she strayed into the realm of Taixu, she might wander there for decades or even hundreds of years.
"Maybe." Next to the two of them, a tall cloaked figure suddenly appeared.
Taixu looked up at the stone sculpture: "Master."
"Huh?" Du Yu turned around and looked.
Taixu: "In recent days, I have gained some insights into the realm of Taixu."
"Oh?" Du Yu was a little surprised.
Taixu nodded and said: "Master, do you remember how many space cracks you tore open in total when you took me to cut down the Hanshu in Tushan Continent a few days ago?"
Du Yu shook his head: "A lot, I can't remember."
Taixu: “There is a crack in it, which gives me a special feeling.
Looking back now, that crack is very similar to the crack I entered when I mistakenly entered the realm of Taixu."
Du Yu's eyes lit up, but Li Mengnan became more and more worried.
Du Yu immediately asked: "Can you now open the space crack to the Taixu Realm?"
Taixu shook his head: "I remember that feeling. Give me some time, Master, and I will work hard to understand it."
Hearing this, Du Yu had a look of regret on his face, while Li Mengnan breathed a sigh of relief.
Taixu: "As the master said, if Hanshu really has an identity, maybe it is hidden somewhere in the realm of Taixu, behind an entrance."
"Well, let's study it carefully." Du Yu sighed deeply, "If we can really find it, then it won't be the problem of Hanshu's body."
Taixu and Du Yu both raised their heads and looked at the mountain-splitting ax at the foot of the stone sculpture. One person and one ax thought in one mind:
