It was already afternoon when the vehicle returned to Creek Tree Garden.
Following Yang Qingqing's instructions, Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan nodded repeatedly, said goodbye to their master respectfully, then drove away and went home to have a good rest.
Only Du Yu and Yang Qingqing were left standing at the entrance of the apartment building, watching the vehicle go away.
"What? You can't bear to let go?" Looking at the complicated expression on her little disciple's face, Yang Qingqing teased with a smile.
"No, no." Du Yu immediately withdrew his gaze.
There was nothing to be reluctant about. Outside the gate of the Demonic Realm in Shiyan City, Du Yu stayed alone in the small tent for 7 days and was not with his teammates.
The reason why he was in a low mood was simply because he had experienced a doomsday situation.
Of course, it is not accurate to call it "doomsday". At most, it can only be regarded as a sign of crisis.
Now, the demonic world was clear and the crisis seemed to be resolved. However, Du Yu always felt uneasy about the two mysterious figures.
I don't know what will happen in the future...
I hope the military can arrest those two and extract some useful intelligence.
Du Yu lowered his head and followed Yang Qingqing into the elevator.
Arriving at the seventeenth floor, Du Yu was about to step out of the elevator when he found his master standing at the door, waving at the distance.
"Teacher Qing?" Du Yu was curious and pressed the door-opening button with one hand, wondering what she was doing.
A flower vine stretched out from the door, passed through the long corridor, and came in front of Yang Qingqing.
The woman casually took the keychain from the flower vine and handed it to Du Yu: "Here."
"What is this?" Du Yu looked at the keychain and didn't react for a moment.
"Your house key." Yang Qingqing stretched out a flower vine from her fingertips, passed by Du Yu's side, lightly tapped the "16" button on the keyboard, and then tapped the door closing button.
As the elevator door slowly closed, Yang Qingqing stood outside the door with a smile on her face, watching Du Yu quietly.
It was not until the elevator door closed that Du Yu came back to his senses. Looking at the key and access card in his hand, he felt even more complicated for some reason.
“Ding~”
The elevator only went down one floor, so Du Yu certainly didn't have time to think about it.
The scene outside the door has also changed.
There is no green corridor covered with flowers and leaves, but only white walls, tiled floors, and sunlight shining on the ground through the corridor windows.
“Wow…”
The elevator door closed again, and Du Yu hurriedly reached out and stopped the elevator door.
He walked out and looked around. He could see the end of the corridor on the left side at a glance. The place was not small, and it was more than enough to store some sundries or build a few cat kennels or dog kennels.
On the right...
Compared to the 17th floor, which has direct entrance from the corridor, Du Yu's home has a security door.
Du Yu inserted the key into the hole and gently opened the door.
The room was spacious, clean and bright, one could even describe it as spotless.
He thought about it again and again, took off his shoes, walked in, and then paused for a moment.
There is something in the room.
In the northeast corner of the living room, there is a tree standing there quietly, motionless.
"Brother Shu?" Du Yu was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly.
“Rustle~”
The firewood tree finally came back to life.
It seemed that it had been enduring for a long time, waiting quietly, until Du Yu finally discovered it, and then the fire tong tree stopped pretending completely!
Branches quickly stretched out and wrapped around Du Yu's wrists and ankles.
Du Yu: “…”
"Oh!" With a light cry, he was dragged directly to the firewood tree.
The leaves swayed, and a red ribbon with a bow appeared in front of Du Yu.
Gift
A heavenly-grade demon plant at its peak stage seems a bit too expensive as a gift.
The leaves of the firewood tree tumbled, revealing a card with a string of elegant handwriting in sight:
What you get is what you want.
There is also a cursive signature at the back: Qing.
Looking at Master Qing's handwriting, Du Yu felt a surge of emotions in his heart.
It’s a beautiful blessing, and sounds very luxurious.
The next moment, endless branches came and instantly wrapped Du Yu into a leaf cocoon, but...
After more than ten seconds, the branches of the firewood tree retracted, leaving Du Yu sitting on the ground.
The firewood tree obviously realized that its new owner was in a bad mood and had no intention of playing around.
It stretched down a branch and gently poked Du Yu's face, as if asking something.
"It's not because of you." Du Yu sat cross-legged in front of the flowerpot, grabbed a branch with one hand, and twisted it gently.
"Du Yu Du Yu~"
"Um?"
Xiao Fenyang's cute voice came, very excited: "Why are you not happy? We have a home now!"
"Yes, we have a home." Du Yu raised his eyes and looked around.
The huge house is spacious and bright. The afternoon sun shines into the house through the windows, bringing a unique sense of warmth and comfort.
Even though this place is empty and has no furniture, for Du Yu, this is the home he has always dreamed of.
Xiao Fenyang asked curiously, "Then why are you unhappy?"
Du Yu scratched his head, very distressed.
I finally have a home, but does it all make sense
After he had seen the battlefield and had a rough understanding of the truth of the world, he came to believe that the prosperous Daxia was nothing but a fantasy built on ruins.
But at that time, Du Yu still longed for home.
Until a week ago, until the first twin trees in the world fell, the cold air swallowed up the world like a dark cloud...
Only then did Du Yu realize that the end of the world was not far away.
Xiao Fen Yang whispered: "You are about to be promoted to a demon master, and your demon pet is so well trained. We also gained spiritual power and Sister Ta!
We are so successful and now we have our own family, you should be happy, right? "
"Yeah." Du Yu nodded, "Yes!"
He wiped his face, stood up, and a demonic aura gathered in front of his forehead.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yan was soaking in the acupuncture point home, enjoying the nourishment of the Shadow Gu Tower. She was suddenly called out, and her reaction speed was amazing. Her tail quickly hooked Du Yu's neck.
The little firefly floated beside Du Yu's face, looking around curiously.
This place... seems to be the master's home.
But how come there is nothing left but a tung tree
Could it be that the firewood tree went crazy and threw away everything
Xiao Youying opened her eyes wide, retreated slightly behind Du Yu's head, and looked at the fire tong tree vigilantly, as if she was afraid that the fire tong tree would throw her out as well
"Come, King Yan, take a look around our home." Du Yu pointed at Xiao Yan's furry head with his finger.
"Hmm~"
"Yes, I promised you that." Du Yu's mood gradually improved, and he said with a smile, "Go and choose your bedroom."
"Ying!" The fiery red figure jumped down, ran happily, and chose his own house.
Strictly speaking, the choice was Du Yu's bedroom. After all, even when she slept, she would sleep in her master's arms.
The layout of the upstairs and downstairs is the same, the only difference is that the 16th floor is a flat and there is no second floor.
When Xiaoyan took Xiaoyouying to visit their new home, Du Yu came to the balcony and looked at the long pavilion and lake view below in a daze.
He could still remember what he looked like when he first came to Creek Tree Garden.
At that time, he was brought in by a security guard in a sightseeing patrol car. It was the first time he saw such a high-end residential area, which was quite an eye-opener.
Just a few months later, he moved in here.
Although this mortgage may take a long time to pay off...
Du Yu was in a trance, and he didn't know how long he had been thinking. Then a cold voice came from behind him:
“This world is a beautiful place.”
Du Yu was startled and turned around quickly to look.
Yang Qingqing looked like she had just finished a bath, her long hair was slightly wet, and she had changed into a gorgeous nightgown.
"Master Qing."
She did not respond, but took two steps forward, stood side by side with Du Yu, and looked out the window.
The trees surrounding the lake are dyed with autumn leaves, giving it a unique and tranquil charm.
After quietly appreciating it for a while, she asked, "What do you think?"
Du Yu: "Well... it's very beautiful."
"Don't look at me, look out the window."
Du Yu looked embarrassed and turned to look at the window.
Yang Qingqing stood with her hands behind her back and said softly, "So we must protect it well."
Du Yu: “…”
He knew that his emotions must have been discovered by his master.
Otherwise, as tired as she was, she should have had a good sleep at home instead of coming downstairs at this time.
"When I first joined the army, every time I came out of the battlefield, I felt like I was in another world."
Yang Qingqing looked into the distance, looking at the city streets in the distance, with cars flowing continuously: "The dark bottomless and the prosperous city are like two different worlds.
By shuttling back and forth between the two worlds, I can better understand what I am protecting."
Du Yu also raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
Yang Qingqing: “Crisis has always existed and has never stopped, it’s just that you have never encountered it before.
There are people like me who protect people like you. Your worries are limited to ordinary life, and you never have to worry about the abyss. "
"Um... ... "
"But it's different now. You're one of us."
"What?"
Yang Qingqing raised her head slightly and pointed to the bustling city buildings in the distance. The meaning was self-evident.
Du Yu looked at the peaceful and prosperous scene and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
Yang Qingqing smiled and raised her hand, as if to rub Du Yu's head.
Du Yu hurriedly took a step back and whispered, "Dirty."
He hadn't had time to wash or even change his clothes since entering the house.
Yang Qingqing did not insist, and turned away, and heard a voice from afar: "Spend some time to decorate the house to make it warmer.
You spent a lot of money to buy this house from me. In the next 30 to 50 years, you may not be able to afford a new house and will have to live here. "
Listening to the woman's teasing words, Du Yu grinned.
He knew that his master was using another method to make him feel at ease and let go of his messy thoughts.
"Nai~"
Although Teacher Qing had left, a snow-white figure ran over and threw himself into Du Yu's arms.
Du Yu rubbed Xiaobai's head and looked at Xiaoyan and Youying running around happily in the house. He also made a secret decision.
Teacher Qing is right.
The crisis has never stopped, but Daxia is still there, and the sun rises as usual every day!
Besides, with our advancement speed, how could the twin trees fall
In less than a year or two, if the twin trees get crooked again, I will straighten them with my own hands!
"Du Yu Du Yu~"
"Um?"
"Why are you in a good mood again? You are so fickle~"
Du Yu:
“Hehe~”
Du Yu curled his lips in annoyance and looked towards the huge living room.
This is my first home in two lifetimes, so I have to think carefully about how to decorate it. Hmm... a palace style would be nice, right
It sounds very extravagant and licentious.
It fits my name "Du Wangfu" very well...
