I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 474 - 340 Demon Taming: I carry an Immortal Master with me_2
Du Yu, back in the driver’s seat, quickly started the car and drove away from the Mountain Fire Blade Realm.
The drive back took a whole two hours, but a grin was stuck to Du Yu’s face the entire time.
Time to write an autobiography: "Demon Taming World: I Carry an Immortal Master with Me."
Nice, now that’s a strong flavor~
Worth mentioning, on the way back, Little Fen Yang moved to a new acupoint home.
After all, she holds Cinnabar Red Demon Flame in her body, a monstrously powerful Demon Fire—an unparalleled cultivation treasure for any Golden Crow Great Power.
But for Bai Yujing, who lives in the same space, it’s like a super-toxic poison.
Little Fen Yang moved to Du Yu’s Du Meridian in his back, at the Life Gate Acupoint on his lower back.
This acupoint has yet to be opened—it’s a future acupoint home for when Du Yu advances to Demon Taming General level.
So Little Fen Yang heading there is essentially scouting it out for Du Yu.
Du Yu’s whole body is Little Fen Yang’s home anyway, plus she’s past her weakest stage now and doesn’t need a very particular acupoint home—especially since the Demon Fire’s still nourishing her.
Taking the opportunity, Du Yu also relocated Xiaobai and Xiaoyan’s acupoint homes, swapping the fox and deer’s residences.
Bai Yujing, naturally, is his mount.
Du Yu could change his habits and stop summoning his demon pets from the center of his forehead.
This way, having Mount Bai Yujing reside in the Qi Sea Acupoint below the navel is the optimal choice.
She can leap right out from Du Yu’s lower belly—with just a little hop, Du Yu can smoothly land right on her back.
With Bai Yujing, who’d still need a Desolate Silver Lynx?
Forget cat backs—a deer back is way comfier~
This way, Lord Baojun can go be an assassin in peace, and focus on guarding Du Yu’s rear too.
Picture it: in the middle of a fight, someone tries to sneak up on Du Yu from behind...
And all of a sudden a massive silver beast leaps out from his back—how beautiful... uh, how terrifying would that be?
Just imagining it made Du Yu feel sorry for the would-be attacker.
By the time Du Yu got back to Xishu Garden, it was nearly noon.
Once he picked up Master Qing, he was instantly recruited as a porter, helping his master move house.
Most of it was daily necessities—like toiletries, clothes, teawares, tea bricks, and a few books.
The Sea Realm really is a good place to read: quiet, comfy, and bright daylight twenty-four-seven.
Mom, Dad—no more worrying about me staying up late to study!
Damn~ No night at all, it’s always daytime!
Besides the books, Master Qing also moved in two demonic plants.
Till today, Du Yu’s never dared step onto the second or third floor of Master Qing’s place.
So when Master Qing came out cradling a Purple Morning Glory, draped in Jinping Vine, in Du Yu’s eyes these demonic plants may as well have come out of thin air.
Du Yu hadn’t seen these demonic plants before, but Xiaoyan already had a fateful encounter with the Purple Morning Glory long ago.
Back then, Prince Yan was just a baby, totally naive and courting disaster, and hopelessly crushing on Yang Qingqing, that gorgeous big sis.
That night, the little guy snuck upstairs to the second floor, and right at the door of Master Qing’s bedroom was knocked out cold... by the Purple Morning Glory.
Purple Morning Glory—a wood element demonic plant that helps with sleep.
Yang Qingqing planned to put it at her bedside.
As for Jinping Vine, it’s a wood & water dual-element demonic plant—perfect as a curtain or room divider.
It’s got water attributes too, perfect for tidying up and keeping the house clean.
Since there’s a Shatang Tree right outside the main house door, Yang Qingqing went with wood and water attribute demonic plants on purpose.
The two should be easier for the Shatang Tree to accept since their attributes are perfectly matched.
"Let’s move these first." In the main house study, Yang Qingqing looked on in satisfaction as Du Yu shelved her books.
The other stuff is manageable, but she just has too many demonic plants—moving them all is a pain.
If it weren’t for planning a long stay, it’s not wise to just dig up and move them all.
But Yang Qingqing had a feeling she’d be living here for a while.
The place is serene, plus there’s a Demon Saint—Shatang Tree—for cultivation aid. It’s basically a Demon Tamer’s dream retreat.
The only thing in the mortal world she still really cared about was the Mountain Fire Saber.
A Divine Weapon at that level—it takes time to cultivate and truly bond with it.
Du Yu dusted off his hands—not much dust, honestly—then turned and asked, "Master Qing, are you hungry? Want me to rustle up something from the backyard or head back to the 17th floor to cook for you?"
"No need, I’m not hungry." Yang Qingqing headed to the door.
Above the room’s entrance, the reddish-brown Jinping Vine matched the furniture perfectly, falling in a curtain of hanging vines.
As Yang Qingqing approached, the Jinping Vine parted for her, swinging open the door for its master.
"Not happening." Du Yu hurried after, "You’ve been training under the Mountain Fire Blade for ages—must’ve barely eaten, just living off the world’s energy with your Demon Soul, right?
Master, I’ll go cook, and bring it right in for you."
Yang Qingqing shook her head with a smile—half helpless, half happy.
She didn’t turn down her disciple’s filial piety, just casually said, "Keep it light."
"Trust my cooking! What’s light food anyway? Plain boiled veggies—easy~"
Yang Qingqing: "..."
She turned to look at Du Yu, just in time to see the Mountain and Sea Bell shrink away—Du Yu’s form was already gone without a trace.
She couldn’t help but sigh softly.
In just a year, her once naive, weak disciple had grown so much.
Really feels like a dream.
Back on the 17th floor, Du Yu whipped out his phone right away, planning to order some veggies to cook.
Ordering takeout would work too, but no matter how much you note it, restaurants always use oil.
"Bzzz~ bzzz~"
Still picking his veggies, Du Yu’s phone buzzed with a text.
From Li Mengnan—just three words: "Call me back!"
She probably tried calling earlier. There’s no signal in the Sea Realm after all.
Curious, Du Yu called back. Before the first ring finished, Li Mengnan’s sweet voice piped up, "Second Bro!"
"Huh?"
"Where’d you go? How come you weren’t at the service area?"
Du Yu: "I was in the Sea Realm just now. What’s up?"
Li Mengnan sounded excited: "The Bookhouse website posted exam results! You scored 60.2!"
Du Yu’s mood crashed—knew it!
He answered helplessly, "Alright, at least that’s a pass."
"Exactly, exactly!" Li Mengnan said quickly, "You’re the only passing student out of all four provinces!"
Du Yu: ???
WTF?
I got an unexpected reward?!
"Hehe~" Li Mengnan couldn’t help but laugh—not clear if she was congratulating or teasing, "You’re first place! Top of all four provinces!"
This confirmed it for Du Yu—he was stunned.
I’m actually the only student who passed?
Li Mengnan laughed, "There’s a whole batch of people in the 20s and 30s—looks super tragic just scrolling down~"
"Uh." Du Yu scratched his head. How to put this...
It’s not that I’m strong,
This time—it’s all thanks to being compared to the crowd...
Suddenly curious, Du Yu asked, "What did you get?"
"Hey, now!" Li Mengnan’s laughter vanished, instantly disgruntled, "Here I am congratulating you, and you turn around and backstab me?"
"My bad, my bad, I won’t ask." Du Yu surrendered fast, "Uh, I gotta make dinner for Master Qing—you want to join?"
"Nah, already ate." Li Mengnan smacked her lips, kinda regretful not to get any of Master’s cooking.
Du Yu asked, "But it’s only 11:18—you already ate?"
"Ate, ate!" Li Mengnan said hurriedly, like she was escaping, tossing out one last line before hanging up, "Check the Bookhouse website—every bonus and penalty is annotated in detail."
"Oh." Du Yu put down his phone, feeling a little puzzled.
Last time’s provincial exam, the Bookhouse didn’t spell out how Du Yu’s high score came about.
Looks like in this four-province exam, the scores were so low, the Bookhouse had to reveal everything—maybe to convince the masses, or avoid unwanted rumors.
Sixty points long live?
Hmm... now this finally feels like a real college exam~
