I Have a Golden Crow

Hu Xiaoyan used her furry fox head to nudge Du Yu’s forehead discontentedly: "Master Qing is calling you upstairs."

"You cheeky thing, you’ve been upstairs playing." Du Yu walked into the bathroom, placing Hu Xiaoyan on the floor, "Haven’t given up, huh?"

"Hmph~" Hu Xiaoyan snorted. Judging by her demeanor, she seemed to have failed again.

After accompanying her owner in washing his face and brushing his teeth, Hu Xiaoyan followed him to the 17th floor.

As soon as they stepped onto the 17th floor corridor, Du Yu noticed something different.

The corridor was still covered with floral leaves; Master Qing’s demonic plant hadn’t moved elsewhere?

He quickly walked in and saw a woman watching TV in the living room.

"Master Qing."

Yang Qingqing turned her head to look at her disciple, a slight smile appearing on her face: "Slept well?"

"Yeah, I feel better now." Du Yu smiled.

Yang Qingqing: "I’ve contacted the Demon Spirit Squad. They wanted to bring the Golden Leaf to you, but I didn’t let them. You should get it yourself."

Du Yu nodded without any doubt.

He always believed that Master Qing had her reasons for everything.

Sure enough, Yang Qingqing continued: "Bring everyone out. While you’re fetching the Golden Leaf, take a look around this city.

Find out where the troops are stationed and get detailed information; it will help us execute tasks in the future."

Master Qing’s words were quite tactful, but Du Yu understood her meaning.

This city could experience anything at any time.

And those guarding Ancient Pine Tower City might need to cooperate with the troops to carry out tasks when necessary.

To put it bluntly...

Compared to civilians, the Demon Spirit Squad is obviously the stronger party; they’re the Guardian Gods of the people.

But for the Cyan Sect members, the soldiers stationed here are not only comrades but also potential targets for rescue.

"Du Yu?" Yang Qingqing called softly.

Du Yu snapped back to reality, absorbed Hu Xiaoyan into his body, and spoke softly: "Master Qing, I’ve always believed this city won’t fall.

Regarding Chi Ancestor’s prophecy, I’ll strive to find a better solution."

There was another thought, trapped in his heart: I’ll completely obliterate the Cold Tree before it is forced to a dead end, before it chooses mutual destruction!

"I believe in you." Yang Qingqing elegantly crossed her legs.

This calm and serene posture demonstrated her endless trust in Du Yu: "As I said to you last night, this city will eventually be restored to its former state.

We’ll bring back those who were forced to leave their homes."

"Hm." Du Yu nodded, flipped his hand, and Bell Shadow glittered.

A few minutes later, Du Yu returned to Master Qing’s residence with the others.

After a brief exchange, Du Yu and the others bid farewell to Master Qing, took the elevator downstairs, and arrived at the underground garage.

"Ah..." Li Mengnan looked at the empty parking lot with a complex expression.

Everyone got in the car, with Senior Brother Fu sitting in the front passenger seat, while the others sat in the back.

In the group of five, Fu Jianzhou, Li Mengnan, and Lin Shiwei were all making phone calls.

Only Du Yu, who was driving, and Jiang Feng had no one they needed to check in on.

Their situations were quite similar; the people they cared about were on the 17th floor, in the car.

The vehicle drove through the empty city streets, evoking a particularly unique feeling in Du Yu.

The streets were clean, in every sense.

The city wasn’t as chaotic as imagined; maybe the evacuation had been orderly, or perhaps there were maintenance staff handling things.

"Okay, I’ll visit you in a few days." Lin Shiwei was the first to finish her call, exhaling softly.

Du Yu looked in the rearview mirror: "Where did Aunt Su go?"

Lin Shiwei: "She went to my dad’s side, Bohai City."

Du Yu nodded; Mr. Lin had been working in Bohai, the provincial city, long-distance. Finally, the couple could reunite.

Lin Shiwei: "My mom said she’s sending the Maple Tree from Demon Pet Paradise to you."

"Does Aunt Su not know you have the Celestial General’s Seal?"

Lin Shiwei gazed out the window, replying softly: "Just leave it with you, my mom insisted."

Du Yu: "..."

"Phew~" Li Mengnan exhaled and put down her phone, "My parents moved to the capital city! Just 10 minutes’ walk from our office."

Du Yu’s heart stirred: "Teacher Li and Uncle Li?"

"They’re together now." Li Mengnan looked odd, muttering softly, "A blessing in disguise, right~"

Du Yu: "..."

You can’t just learn from me, even using an inverted sentence.

Li Mengnan suddenly craned her head forward, looking at Du Yu: "Did Empress Huangtu overdo her magic? Did it create an uproar?"

Du Yu was puzzled: "What?"

Li Mengnan: "Do you think Empress Huangtu moved the whole Ancient Pine Tower just to bring my parents together..."

Du Yu: ???

He used his free hand to lightly and amusedly knock Li Mengnan’s forehead: "Empress Huangtu is indeed potent, but she couldn’t possibly do something that would tarnish her virtue."

"Oops." Li Mengnan rubbed her forehead and murmured, "You’re right, haha."

In the passenger seat, Fu Jianzhou also put down his phone.

Du Yu glanced over, and Senior Brother Fu gave a reassuring nod with a smile: "The elders are in the capital. Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged everything."

"That’s good." Du Yu said softly, driving through a world intersection no longer illuminated.

"Not a shadow in sight." Li Mengnan leaned against Lin Shiwei, glancing out the window, "It’s so empty, completely vacant."

Jiang Feng suddenly said: "Had I known, I wouldn’t have bought a house; I would’ve just picked one to live in."

Li Mengnan blinked: "Eh?"

Everyone: "..."

Sister Jiang Feng was usually silent, rarely cracking jokes.

Her unexpected remark first puzzled the group, then they burst into laughter.

"Sister, do you still have to repay the loan?" Li Mengnan asked curiously.

Jiang Feng looked out the other window, responding with four words: "Paid in full."

"No worries, Sister." Du Yu followed Jiang Feng’s lead, trying to lighten the mood, "Think of it as buying the whole city."

He pointed a hand outside at the tall buildings: "There, the entire skyscraper is yours.

Sleeping one floor a day, let’s see...six or seventy floors, it’ll take you over two months to finish."

"Hey, watch the road! Stop counting floors!" Li Mengnan quickly said.

Du Yu rolled his eyes: "No people, no cars, whether I watch the road or not, it’s all the same."

"Ha!" Li Mengnan’s eyes shone brightly, "Yes! We can ride the Dust Spirit Deer around the streets, no one’s there anyway."

Lin Shiwei nodded in agreement.

"We can go wild!" Li Mengnan, truly carefree, grew more excited as she spoke, "Every facility in the city to ourselves... an amusement park!

Find an amusement park and have fun!"

"The amusement park probably doesn’t have power."

"Come on~ we’ve got Kui Chou, the Supreme..."

The dark vehicle, carrying a full car of people, drove through the empty city.

Occasionally, bursts of laughter emitted from within, battling the city’s eerie silence.
