I Have a Golden Crow

Vast hills, endless snow-white horses raise their proud heads, gazing at their rebellious kin in the sky.

Some horses are happy, some are worried.

Happy because their kin has advanced, worthy of celebration, worried because this kin is rather special.

Jing Chen was already hard to tame at the Demon General Level.

Now that it’s advancing to Demon Emperor, wouldn’t it create chaos among the whole herd?

"Xi lu lu~~~" Jing Chen neighed fervently.

Unexpectedly, Du Yu heard not an emboldened spirit, but Jing Chen’s grievances, its unwillingness.

I am born different from others,

I want to fly in the sky, wanting to sprint across rivers.

I do not wish to be content with one corner, I want to roam mountains and rivers, explore every land, wanting to see what this world looks like.

Am I wrong?

"You’re not wrong." Du Yu stroked Jing Chen’s mane, murmuring, "It’s always been the roc soaring over the North Sea, the phoenix reaching for the morning sun.

Always like this, should be like this."

"Good!" suddenly a sonorous voice exploded next to Du Yu’s ear.

Du Yu turned his head to see golden currents flashing, a tall and imposing figure quietly appeared.

White Horse Silver Spear Zhongli Chen.

At this moment, he was without his silver armor, dressed in simple clothes, yet his commanding presence was undeniable.

"Roc over the North Sea, phoenix reaching for the morning sun." Zhongli Chen’s eyes burned fervently, his laughter hearty to the extreme, "Hahaha! Good words!"

Du Yu felt a pang of guilt, nodding to greet Zhongli Chen: "Elder Zhongli."

Zhongli Chen stood suspended in air, looking at the advancing Jing Chen beneath Du Yu: "This child is very special, it seems it has found a kindred spirit."

Du Yu cupped his hands respectfully: "Elder Zhongli, the junior has a favor to ask."

Zhongli Chen gently nodded, waiting for Du Yu’s words.

Du Yu gently brushed through the thick Thunder Demon Breath, landing on the back of the Jade Tiger Roar: "Jing Chen and I are connected, could I..."

"Xi lu lu~~~" Upon hearing this, Jing Chen neighed loudly, its Thunder Demon Breath surged even more.

"Certainly." Zhongli Chen straightforwardly nodded, "It’s Jing Chen’s fortune to be appreciated by a young friend."

Du Yu felt delighted, but also a bit embarrassed.

After all, the Jade Tiger Roar clan is extremely rare, almost exclusively Demon Pets of the Zhongli Clan, and Jing Chen is on the verge of becoming a Demon Emperor, which is invaluable.

"Thank you, elder, for your generosity." Du Yu cupped his hands again, "Du Yu doesn’t know how to repay..."

Zhongli Chen waved his big hand: "You and I both are people who wholeheartedly serve the Twin Trees and Great Xia, being comrades, there’s no need to speak much."

Du Yu smiled: "Elder, you are magnanimous."

Zhongli Chen also smiled, said no more, but closed his eyes, quietly listening to something.

Du Yu couldn’t help but be curious, he waited patiently for a moment, but couldn’t resist asking: "Elder, what are you listening to?"

Zhongli Chen looked content: "Young friend, do you know why this Demon Beast clan is named ’Jade Tiger Roar’?"

Du Yu: "I don’t know."

Zhongli Chen: "The thunder is as loud as a fierce tiger roaring, hence it’s called Jade Tiger Roar."

Du Yu slightly raised his brow, he sat on Jing Chen’s back, as the horse advanced, with the surging Thunder Demon Breath, he naturally heard the rumbling thunder.

It turns out "Jade Tiger Roar" refers not to the horse, but to the thunder.

He also remembered that the Jade Tiger Roar clan has a Demon Skill bearing the same name, Jade Tiger Roar, when the horse neighs, it carries the rumble of thunder.

Meanwhile, in the distant sky, Zhongli Tian’s face was about to crumple into a bun.

He looked at the young man and the Clan Leader talking and laughing, a thousand questions rose in his heart.

Zhongli Tian turned his head to look at his younger cousin, rode his horse near: "Bai Yue, who is this young man?"

Zhongli Bai Yue coldly glanced at her cousin: "I told you in my first sentence, you didn’t listen."

Zhongli Tian helplessly smiled, whispered: "Please, tell your cousin."

Zhongli Bai Yue spat out two words: "Du Yu."

"Du Yu?" Zhongli Tian was shocked, "Great Xia’s first Paper Crane Disciple?"

Zhongli Bai Yue snorted: "That’s him."

"Hiss..." Zhongli Tian took a soft breath, turning his head back to gaze at the distance.

This young man is too low-key, too deceptive!

Zhongli Tian had seen Du Yu’s recording, after all, the Clan Leader personally mentioned this young man, the younger members of the clan naturally sought to learn more.

And Du Yu’s performance in the recording was extremely explosive!

He acomplished feats of creation, his aura inspiring awe, invincible!

Yet Du Yu appears in real life, harmless to humans and animals, very much like a regular Demon Tamer tourist...

Seeing Du Yu still chatting and laughing with Clan Leader Zhongli Chen, Zhongli Tian’s heart felt half-frozen.

"Haha~" At this moment, Zhongli Bai Yue instead laughed.

She looked at her cousin’s stiff expression and softly comforted: "Relax, Du Yu is very nice."

"Mm..." Zhongli Tian gently nodded, hopefully.

After all, he’s someone who fought alongside the Clan Leader to conquer foreign lands, who destroyed the Youhan Army.

He’s the one who leveled Bottomless, who felled the Cold Tree!

Zhongli Tian truly couldn’t imagine, just now when riding the Jade Tiger Roar, he directly collided, ending up in Du Yu’s war horse crotch.

If Du Yu made a move... the consequences would be simply unimaginable!

Though Zhongli Tian is at the Demon Taming General·Peak Stage, two small tiers higher than Du Yu.

But he doesn’t think his bones are harder than the Youhan Tree!

"Xi lu lu~~~" From afar, Jing Chen’s aura soared to the sky, its neigh echoed across the heavens.

Du Yu was surprised, how did it feel like Jing Chen was about to successfully advance?

This is from Peak of Demon General advancing to Demon Emperor Level.

Even if the cultivation path of the Demon Beast clan is smooth, it’s impossible to advance this quickly!

Little Fen Yang exclaimed: "Wow~"

Du Yu: "What?"

Little Fen Yang: "Poor horse, it’s been suffocated for so long."

"Hmph, this wimp." Kui Chou grumbled, "If it continues to be bottled up, it might be able to level up twice, directly to Demon Emperor·Minor Achievement Stage."

Du Yu: "..."

Can such an operation really exist?

Is it holding back experience, not leveling up?

Little Fen Yang was somewhat distressed: "Being suppressed for so long, I truly wonder how the horse managed to survive. Du Yu, Du Yu~"

"Hmm?"

Little Fen Yang: "Shall we help it break free of its shackles?"

"Of course." Du Yu nodded immediately.

"Great~" Little Fen Yang became spirited, "We’ll teach that horse a lesson later, to show it not to boss our horse around!"

"Hmm." Du Yu felt the violent trembling of the steed beneath him and spoke softly, "It’s not about right or wrong, it’s about choice."

"Hoo!"

An enormous gust of wind spread out, thick with Thunder Demon Breath mixed with thunder sounds and electrical currents, surging in all directions.

Jing Chen’s eyes flashed with electric light, his hooves frantically stomping in the air, producing faint thunderous sounds.

Zhongli Chen enjoyed such sounds.

Following Jing Chen’s gaze, Zhongli Chen looked up and saw the two riders standing in the sky in the distance.

Zhongli Chen understood Jing Chen’s gaze and was even more willing to send the horse on its way: "Young friend."

"Senior?"

Zhongli Chen: "That young man in black is an outstanding member of my race’s younger generation, would you like to give some guidance?"

Du Yu was momentarily stunned, this situation sure has escalated.

Isn’t this what heroes see eye to eye on!

"Go ahead." Zhongli Chen encouraged softly, "Jing Chen is full of fighting spirit, it deserves this battle."

"Neigh!" Jing Chen snorted loudly.

Du Yu stroked its mane and looked forward.

Zhongli Tian felt a sudden tension in his heart!

Since the ancestor looked at him, Zhongli Tian felt something wasn’t right.

The distance was so far, he couldn’t hear what the clan leader said to Du Yu, and when Du Yu also looked over...

Zhongli Bai Yue’s face showed a hint of pity, trotting away to the side: "Tian Hui, the clan leader is watching, you better perform well."

Zhongli Tian Hui: "..."

Whether I can perform well doesn’t seem to be up to me.

But my cousin is quite right!

It’s rare for the clan leader to have such interest, observing nearby, I absolutely must not disgrace the name of the Zhongli race!

"Hoo~"

Zhongli Tian Hui suddenly swung his hand, electrical currents flickered in his palm, quickly forming a Thunderbolt Spear.

Du Yu looked across with a smile and shouted: "Such courage."

Zhongli Tian Hui: "..."

Listen,

Is this what a Minor Achievement-stage Demon Taming General should say to a Peak-stage Demon Taming General?

Hmm... yes, and it makes perfect sense!

Du Yu brushed his hand across his temple, pulling out a Flame Bow from his mind.

"Jing Chen, we just advanced to Demon Emperor, and the opponent has been a Demon Emperor for a long time, this battle we have to... oh... go?"

Before Du Yu could finish speaking, Jing Chen had already charged forward!

In an instant, a snowy white figure pierced the sky.

On Jing Chen’s rapidly traversed path, thin currents lingered, like little snakes gliding through the air.

Cold Jade·Thunderbolt Charge!

"Pfft... hahaha~" Little Fen Yang burst into laughter, "This horse is so wild!"

Du Yu’s upper body uncontrollably leaned back, his legs instinctively tightened around the horse’s belly, almost tumbling down.

In fact, while Little Fen Yang was speaking, Jing Chen had already crossed paths with the opponent’s Jade Tiger Roar.

"I know you want to prove yourself." Du Yu suddenly sat up, hugging the horse’s neck with one hand, "I know you’re anxious, but don’t be too hasty... Oh my!"

Du Yu was completely baffled.

The newly ascended Demon Emperor-level wild horse had already broken free of its reins, and no one could stop it!

"Whinny!" Jing Chen darted again, swift as lightning.

Luckily, Du Yu was cautious, having already wrapped one arm around the white horse’s neck.

But in this speedy traversal, he still had no time to draw his bow and nock an arrow.

Du Yu had to quickly bend forward, ducking beneath the spear thrust by Zhongli Tian Hui.

Wait!

As the steed raced through, the fire lines drawn by the Flame Bow caught Du Yu’s attention.

Thunderbolt Charge is a high-speed movement demon skill, qualitatively different from Instant Teleportation; while sitting on horseback, Du Yu naturally also has an action path.

If taking these fire lines as Void Axe marks...

Du Yu discarded the Flame Bow, quickly gathering a burning ax blade in hand.

In Du Yu’s eyes, the Elemental Battleaxe transformed into the Void Axe.

Behind him, Zhongli had turned into the Cold Tree, and it was the Youhan Tree’s true form!

Du Yu tightened his grip on the ax blade, his thoughts racing.

All along, he had tried to control the Cold Tree.

Using the Spirit Tree for control, using Three Spirits Coin and Jade Gourd for control, then clearing away Bottomless Cold Beasts for a stable environment to chop the tree.

What if I don’t seek this?

What if I... press forward regardless?

Eye of Burning Sun, seeing through the Cold Branches, Cold Race, Cold Beast’s offense.

Kui Chou Instant Teleportation, repeatedly traversing the battlefield, cutting in and out.

Qingci transforming into Water, used to preserve life when necessary.

Plus Jing Chen, or Bai Yujing’s rapid movement, allowing me to swing the Void Axe, instantly tearing open a long spatial rift.

With such cooperation, could I roam among the thousands of Cold Branches and press upon the Youhan Tree?

Just by treading on the Cold Tree’s face, smash it to pieces in its arrogance?!

Why have I always wanted stability, wanted to control the Cold Tree?

The true form of the Cold Tree cannot be controlled, and it is impossible to clean up all the Cold Race and Cold Beasts surrounding it.

So...

Du Yu suddenly turned his head, looking far back at Zhongli Tian Hui.

"Gulp." At that moment, Zhongli Tian Hui only felt his temples throbbing!

He didn’t know what had happened to Du Yu in these few short thoughts.

But Du Yu’s sudden change in momentum made Zhongli Tian Hui feel a foreboding hunch rise.

Du Yu’s gaze...

Damn, don’t really take me for the Cold Tree!
