People often oversleep, but Du Yu is a little more advanced and overslept at Aunt Su's house...
He originally wanted to stay for a few days, but when he came to his senses, it was already the end of the month.
There was no other way, this demon pet paradise was too suitable for cultivation. There were suitable demon pets to accompany Xiao Yan and Xiao Youying in battle, and there was also Lin Shiwei to accompany Du Yu in sparring.
He didn't bring his magic bow, so he focused on training his close combat skills. He held a patterned silver blade in a fierce fight with Lin Shiwei, but was beaten so badly by the girl that he lost his temper.
It's so uncomfortable!
In the scope of pure competition that does not involve life and death, Du Yu's physical advantage obviously cannot make up for his lack of skills.
It is worth mentioning that Lin Shiwei also advanced to the Great Master Stage of Demon Tamer during the training process.
The maple trees all over the mountain released wood and fire attributes of demonic aura. The girl skipped the process of transforming the attributes of the demonic aura, and with the accumulation of cultivation materials, she was indeed growing very fast.
Lin Shiwei is undoubtedly a warrior, and a fighter who has been trained for more than ten years. In her eyes, Du Yu's kung fu can only be described as "three-legged cat".
It's not shameful to be beaten when learning a skill.
At least this is how Du Yu comforted himself.
After being abused by his third sister for so many days, he finally figured out the daily routine of this family.
On the night of the 29th, Du Yu quietly opened the door.
“Crack~”
Through the crack in the door, Du Yu looked at the quiet living room outside, then tiptoed out.
Only after he slipped into the backyard did Du Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
The night wind blew, and the maple forest rustled. The demon pet paradise was still quiet under the night sky, and most of the demon pets were resting.
He walked all the way to the left along the maple forest barrier, his heart full of sighs.
Under the moonlight, the maple forest is a fiery red, with occasional maple leaves emitting a faint red glow, which is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.
As a magical plant, the maple tree never sheds its leaves.
It will turn green, red, and yellow, but even in the coldest winter, the maple tree is still full of vitality and its branches and leaves will not dry up.
A burst of demonic energy gathered in front of Du Yu's forehead, and a torch quickly took shape.
Little Youying looked around curiously. When it turned around and looked back, it saw Du Yu's serious expression: "Don't explode, I'll take you to eat candy."
The little firefly opened its eyes wide and turned around happily. It had been here for so many days and knew the taste of maple syrup very well.
Du Yu smiled and grasped the torch handle, then brought the kid to the swing, looked up at the tall maple sugar tree, and whispered, "Can we have some?"
"Squeak..."
The swing suddenly swayed back and forth. This was the maple tree responding to Du Yu.
As for why the swing shakes... ... it's because the "ropes" and "seats" that make up the swing are all made of branches from maple trees.
"Thank you." Du Yu pointed the torch at the bark and reached out.
All of a sudden, the flame on the torch became much brighter. Little Firefly squinted her eyes happily, burning the maple syrup flowing from the cracks in the trees.
"Huh?" Du Yu suddenly turned his head and saw lanterns lit up in the maple forest.
Dual-element fire and wood element·Tianbao clan monster·Night Fire Cage!
For a moment, the maple forest was filled with a strong ancient atmosphere.
The quaint lanterns seemed to have transcended time, walking out from the bustling streets of the ancient Lantern Festival and into Du Yu's world.
Most of them are rectangular, with a handle on top and tassels on the bottom.
The patterns on each side of the lantern are different and slightly blurry, with a warm light shining through them.
"You guys play your own games, it's okay." Du Yu waved his hands quickly.
The Monster Pet Paradise at night is different from that during the day; you can even think of it as another world.
However, the people holding lanterns seemed to want to help Du Yu with lighting, and instead of playing by themselves, they all came over.
Du Yu: “…”
You guys are really loving and caring people!
If I had known this, I would have licked the tree first. Now I am surrounded by so many night fire cages. I...
"Du Yu Du Yu~"
"ah?"
"Hurry up, I'm hungry~"
"Okay." Du Yu moved away the little Youying who was eating with big mouthfuls, took a step forward, and looked at the bark patterns in front of him.
Little Youying's big eyes were full of confusion. She was eating happily, so what was her master going to do
Then, Xiao Youying couldn't help but blinking.
Because its owner leaned forward and licked the bark...
To be exact, he licked the maple syrup flowing out of it.
"Wow~" Du Yu staggered back two steps, grimacing in pain.
The exquisite night fire cages around it scattered one after another, as if they were also watching this silly human creature in a special way.
This is a product of a demon plant. The maple syrup looks tempting, but is it for human consumption
"Hmm~delicious." Xiao Fenyang was very happy and satisfied.
"Ugh." Du Yu covered his stomach with one hand and retched repeatedly, feeling as if his bile was about to come out.
Suddenly, a very attractive female voice came from behind: "Du Yu?"
Du Yu's face froze and his head felt buzzing.
This is too embarrassing!
Lin Shiwei raised her hand and grasped the handle of a night fire cage, shining it forward: "You are here... What's wrong with you?"
Du Yu tried his best to regain his composure and turned his head to look behind him.
Under the moonlight, the girl was wearing a long black nightgown, the hem of which fluttered gently in the night breeze. Against the backdrop of the night fire, the girl's concerned face was reflected.
"Why are you crying?" Lin Shiwei's heart sank, thinking that Du Yu was bullied at home.
"No, no, it's just a misunderstanding." Du Yu waved his hands repeatedly. It's normal to shed some tears while dry heaving!
Lin Shiwei frowned slightly and raised her hand to touch the corner of Du Yu's eyes.
Du Yu subconsciously hunched his head and chest, stretched out his left hand to interfere with the girl's hand, and protected his chin with his right hand, making a relatively standard defensive posture.
Lin Shiwei: “…”
Du Yu: “…”
So awkward!
In fact, Du Yu was also wronged. If you were stared at and beaten by someone every day, you would have a natural reaction.
Lin Shiwei put down her hands, looked at the lanterns around her, then looked up at the maple tree with an unhappy expression: "What did they do to you?"
"It has nothing to do with them." Du Yu hurriedly changed the subject, "Why are you here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Lin Shiwei had a strange look on her face, as if she should ask this question herself first
Seeing that Du Yu was fine, she said, "My uncle is coming to pick up the demon pet, the owner of the Earth Velvet Bear. Mom asked me to ask you if you want to see the scene of the human-pet reunion.
I went to your room to look for you just now, but couldn't find you, so I thought of going to the backyard to take a look. As soon as I went out, I saw a group of night fire cages gathered here. "
"Oh, I see." Du Yu scratched his head. Your uncle came at the right time!
"The owner of the Earth Velvet Bear is your uncle?"
"Yes, Su Fang." Lin Shiwei let go of the lever, letting the night fire cage float in the air. She came to the swing and sat on it. "Do you want to see it?"
"Okay, it's a good opportunity to see what the owner of the Earth Velvet Bear looks like."
“Hehe.” Lin Shiwei swung back and forth on the swing and laughed softly, “You know, I tried hard to become a demon tamer before, but I couldn’t awaken.
My mother has always wanted to train me to be a breeder's assistant, to relieve my regret in another way."
Du Yu picked up the firefly torch and placed the head of the torch against the maple tree: "Then?"
Lin Shiwei: "The first lesson my mother taught me was about the code of conduct for breeders: Don't look at the demon controllers who ask you for help with a critical eye."
Du Yu burned the cracks in the bark and nodded thoughtfully.
Lin Shiwei: "The demon masters put their demon pets here mostly because of various problems. Since they come to us for help, it means they want to solve the problem.
All living things make mistakes.
What we need to do is to help them, solve their problems, give them guidance and suggestions, and hope that they will have a better future, rather than looking at these people and pets with strange eyes. "
"That makes sense." Du Yu nodded.
The job of breeding is more like a service job, and it also provides a certain guarantee for the job of controlling monsters.
If you look at "patients" with contempt and make them feel ashamed, fewer and fewer people will come to seek help, but the problems between people and pets will still exist, and there will be more and more tragedies in the world.
"They're here." Lin Shiwei looked at the lights on at the back door of the villa in the distance. She held the swing rope and pulled it gently, "Lend me a coat."
Du Yu immediately took off his gray sports jacket and turned to hand it to Lin Shiwei, but his movements froze slightly.
I saw that the branches of the maple tree had already stretched down, and the red maple leaves were pieced together layer by layer, forming a fiery red maple leaf coat.
Lin Shiwei hesitated for a moment, but still patted her maple leaf coat and said, "Thank you."
As the layers of maple leaves receded like the tide, she reached out to take the gray coat: "Let's go."
"Oh." Du Yu looked up at the spiritual maple syrup tree and had already made a decision in his heart!
In the future, I must plant a few obedient and well-behaved magic plants in my home. It will make my daily life so convenient!
Well, when I have nothing to do, I can let Xiao Fen Yang peel the bark off the tree to vent his anger...
The four of them met on the way. Before Du Yu could speak, the middle-aged man had already extended his hand to him: "Little brother Du Yu, thank you for your help."
Su Fang was probably in his mid-thirties, of strong build, with a kind smile on his face.
It’s amazing that even when some people are wearing casual clothes, you can still see their military temperament.
Du Yu shook hands with the man and said, "Su... Uh, senior, don't say that. I only dared to get close to Tu Rong Xiong according to Aunt Su's instructions."
He wanted to call him Big Brother, but he always felt something was wrong.
Since Lin Shiwei was wearing a gray jacket, which was obviously a set with Du Yu's gray sweatpants, Su Fang couldn't help but take a few more glances.
He raised his hand and patted Lin Shiwei's head: "I haven't seen you for a few months. Are you adapting to the life of controlling monsters?"
"I'm adapting well."
"Let's go and see your demon pet first." Su Ming'an said softly, interrupting the greetings and leading everyone straight to the northwest of the courtyard.
The woolly bear was still lurking here, now lying on the ground with its arms and legs spread out, soundly sleeping.
Just from its sleeping posture, we can tell that the teddy bear feels that its environment is very safe and it dares to expose its soft belly.
Su Mingan: "Go ahead."
Su Fang looked at his sister and asked, "Are you going to wake it up like this?"
Obviously, the relationship between humans and pets is still quite tense, and Su Fang naturally doesn't want to disturb people's sweet dreams.
Su Mingan smiled: "Why do you want to wake it up? Don't you have several days of vacation?"
Su Fang: "What do you mean, sister?"
Su Mingan raised his head slightly and pointed at the teddy bear with his chin: "Lie on its belly and sleep with it."
Su Fanggui is a great demon tamer, but in front of Su Mingan, he is just a "patient" and does whatever the doctor says.
Su Fang walked forward slowly with light steps.
But obviously, this burly man had never slept on a bear-skin bed. He hesitated for a long time before trying to climb up.
"Lu." Although the Earth Bear was sleeping soundly, its strength was there after all, so it naturally noticed that there was a little thing playing tricks beside it.
It probably mistook Su Fang for Du Yu, so it stretched out its bear paw, picked up Su Fang and threw him on its belly.
Then, it fell asleep again...
Su Fang was stunned for a moment, and at Su Ming'an's nod, he slowly lay down.
The soft bear-skin bed rose and fell with the snoring of the teddy bear. Looking at the stars in the night sky, gradually, a smile appeared on Su Fang's face.
He is obviously a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties, and a tough guy from the military.
Such a childlike smile has not appeared on his face for more than 20 years.
