Xishu Garden, 17th floor.
Du Yu finally returned home and could finally take a rest.
Poor Brother Fu had to be both the driver and the cook. He went to prepare lunch according to Master Qing's order.
At this time, in the private bathroom of the guest room on the first floor, Du Yu was lying in a large bathtub, with the water covered with foam.
"Hmm~" Xiao Yan lay on Du Yu's bent knees, with only her furry little head sticking out of the water, wearing a foam hat on it.
The same style as Lazy Sheep!
This is the hat that Du Yu specially made for her, and it looks like an ice cream.
Xiaoyan's golden-brown fox eyes blinked as she looked at her master who was lying on his back resting, not knowing whether she should disturb him.
Under the contract, she could feel Du Yu's physical and mental exhaustion. After thinking about it again and again, Xiao Yan turned her head and looked at the two big tails floating on the water.
At this moment, she is already an earth-level demon pet!
In other words, she has the ability to break free from the Demon Tamer Contract, but she doesn't intend to do so. She enjoys being with Du Yu.
Well... it would be best if we could be together forever.
Du Yu has also become a demon tamer. The process of being promoted to such a high level was incredibly smooth!
The truth is: as long as you have the slightest tendency to advance, with Master Qing, even a dog can help you advance...
Now, Du Yu can upgrade the quality of the contract to a higher level, a contract at the demon tamer level, which will naturally make the spiritual communication between humans and pets smoother.
However, for the demon tamers, the first two levels are just for laying the foundation. What can be gained by advancing is mainly the improvement of physical attributes, such as strength, speed and so on.
Both demon tamers and demon warriors are still at the basic level and do not yet possess some special methods.
When he reaches the third level, Demon Tamer, Du Yu can summon elemental demon soldiers out of thin air, or he can create his own demon soldiers, which brings him many benefits.
"嘤~" Xiao Yan called softly.
Du Yu opened his eyes, raised his head slightly, and looked at the little guy lying on his knees.
Apparently, Concubine Yan was not going to be so self-admiring any longer. She leaped up and, like a fiery red towel, splashed directly on Du Yu's face.
“Bang!”
Du Yu put Xiao Yan on his shoulder and wiped her wet face: "Don't you want to play anymore? Let's clean up and go out?"
"Hmm!" Xiao Yan happily rubbed Du Yu's cheek. Playing with water was just a novelty at first. It was a pity that Xiao Youying didn't want to play, and didn't even like to be touched, otherwise she could have bullied it.
"By the way, can you swim?" Du Yu held Xiaoyan's neck, put her in front of her face, and asked curiously.
Canines generally know how to swim, right
Xiaoyan tapped the water with her little paws, seeming a little confused. She had been well taken care of since she was born, and she didn't know what survival skills she had.
Du Yu stretched out his palm and shook her two big fiery red tails: "Also, can your tail be used as a propeller?"
"Hmm?" Xiaoyan blinked her eyes, looking confused.
What is a propeller
Du Yu looked at it carefully and it seemed that it wouldn't work. Once the two tails started to turn, they seemed to get tangled easily
If it wasn't tied into a knot, Xiaoyan would not only be able to move at full speed in the water, but also be able to fly, right
Like Doraemon's bamboo dragonfly
Hmm... I'll have to study this carefully later.
Du Yu opened the bathtub stopper, stood up, and turned on the shower. He rarely took a bath on weekdays, and always just rinsed and was done.
But someone said it well: I have been fighting all my life, can't I enjoy myself
... ...
A few minutes later, Du Yu, wearing a clean short-sleeved shirt and shorts, wrapped Xiao Yan in a thick bath towel in his hand, and walked out of the room while rubbing her slightly wet hair.
When he passed by the green living room, he was teased by the branches of the tung tree. The branches poked his waist on the left and pinched his cheeks on the right, making Du Yu want to peel the bark off the tree again...
This broken tree is probably too lonely. In fact, there are many magical plants in Master Qing's house, but most of those flowers and plants like quietness, and no one wants to play with the firewood tree.
After finally catching Du Yu, this "toy", the true nature of the firewood tree was revealed.
It took a while before Du Yu was let go by the "bully tree". The moment he was pushed out by the branches, another branch with a tung fruit was handed to him.
At this moment, Du Yu was confused!
What's the meaning
Is this considered a tip
Du Yu, what does he care about? He quickly picked up the fire tung fruit with one hand, and his steps to escape hesitated.
He thought about it again and again, then looked up at the firewood tree: "Brother Tree, I'm free anyway, how about you play with me again?"
“Bang!”
A vine hit the ground fiercely, making a crisp sound.
He was startled and hurriedly ran back to the guest room with Xiao Yan in his arms: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, and leave half for me."
"Hmm!" Xiaoyan looked at the "fruits of her master's labor" and immediately took a bite without any hesitation.
The rich fruits are so delicious that your mouth is full of juice when you take a bite of them.
She was also very well-behaved and left most of it for Du Yu. He then lowered his head and swallowed the remaining half of the fire tung fruit.
Little Fenyang shouted happily: "Delicious, delicious~"
"Ah." Du Yu's face was distorted by the sour taste, and he kept mumbling, "It tastes good, just ugh~."
He returned to the bathroom, rinsed his mouth, threw away the towel, and walked out of the guest room again.
When passing by the living room, he was stopped by the "bully tree" as expected. This scene gave Du Yu a feeling of restarting the game...
But this time, Du Yu did not resist too much.
Perhaps because Huotongshu was dissatisfied with Du Yu's poor performance, he did not give him a tip this time.
It's so annoying!
After being taken advantage of for free, Du Yu was filled with resentment, muttering something like "I'll peel off your bark sooner or later", and then followed the smell to the restaurant.
I happened to see Fu Jianzhou putting the cover on the dishes and taking off his apron.
"Brother Fu."
"Ask Teacher Qing to come down for dinner later." As he said that, Fu Jianzhou hung up his apron and quickly cleaned up the kitchen counter.
Du Yu looked puzzled: "Where are you going?"
Fu Jianzhou: "Teacher Qing told me to leave after making lunch."
Du Yu: “…”
Poor Brother Fu, not only does he have to be a driver, he also has to be a cook, and he’s not even allowed to eat a bite of the food he’s cooking
"Junior brother, I'm leaving first. Call me if you have anything."
Du Yu hurriedly followed Fu Jianzhou's footsteps, walked all the way through the corridor, and walked him to the elevator door: "Goodbye, Senior Brother."
“Bang!”
Fu Jianzhou stood in front of the elevator and slapped Du Yu on the shoulder: "You have talent and hard work! I believe you will catch up with me soon! Come on!"
Looking at Fu Jianzhou's face full of blessings and expectations, Du Yu always felt that he had ulterior motives.
I caught up with you, and now what
Let me take your place and be Qingshi’s driver or cook
Fu Jianzhou stepped back into the elevator, gave Du Yu a sunny smile, and waved goodbye.
Du Yu smacked his lips, walked back to the wooden stairs of his home, and called up, "Teacher Qing, it's time for dinner."
"Um."
Hearing the woman's response, Du Yu turned around and went to the restaurant. Just as he was about to set the dishes, Yang Qingqing, wearing a gorgeous nightgown, finally appeared in front of the restaurant door.
It can be seen that Teacher Qing likes the palace style and the color green. She has so many nightgowns ranging from dark green to light green, and she wears them every day.
Yang Qingqing sat at the table and glanced at the little fire fox: "With two tails, you can learn earth-level demon skills."
"Yeah, I'll train her next."
"Before that, I will teach you the Demon Tamer Contract. She will also be able to gain more energy from your body. In addition, you must also adjust your mentality in time."
"What?" Du Yu was a little confused.
Yang Qingqing: "During this tower climbing, you are still the main force of the team. But as your pet advances, it won't be long before your pet will protect you.
The racial disparity is terrifying. The advantage of the human race is intelligence, but in many aspects such as magic skills and physical fitness, we cannot match the beast race. "
"Hmm~" Xiaoyan seemed to understand what Master Qing said. She jumped happily and raised her furry little head proudly.
"That's good." Du Yu also smiled and turned to look at the smug Xiao Yan, "The more powerful you are, the better."
"Haha." Yang Qingqing chuckled, "If you and I were born hundreds of years ago, I would not say such words to you."
"ah?"
Yang Qingqing: "Because a long, long time ago, the fighting power of the human race was not inferior to that of the monsters."
Du Yu suddenly realized that Yang Qingqing insisted on sending Senior Brother Fu away, probably because she wanted to tell him some message.
Yang Qingqing elegantly crossed her legs and tilted her body slightly. The layers of flowers and leaves behind her formed a chair back for Yang Qingqing to lean on.
"Where should I start..." She thought for a moment and said, "Your story about the Shadow Gu Tower is, to some extent, an origin story."
Du Yu nodded silently. Chapter 1: "Origin"
Yang Qingqing: "It told how its master died tragically and how it fell into the hands of evil people."
She paused and said with emotion, "But we didn't expect that this origin story would involve twin trees and contain a top-secret message."
Du Yu: "That special twin tree?"
Yang Qingqing: "Yes, you noticed the difference the first time you saw it, and you asked me about it. In fact, that is the authentic twin tree."
"Oh?" Du Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. "The twin trees I saw in the Newbie World in the Southern Suburbs, one withered and the other full of life, aren't they authentic twin trees?"
"It is authentic, but it evolved into this form later. Long ago, the twin trees were alive and not withered."
Du Yu asked hurriedly: "Why did it become like this?"
Yang Qingqing thought for a moment and said, “During the hundred years of the 3rd century, the war between the human race and the beast race reached its peak, and it was so fierce that the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
We can't figure out the story, only the stories pieced together, and I'm afraid no one in the world can tell it clearly. In short, after entering the 4th century, all the twin trees in the world changed their forms.
Whether it was the twin trees that existed before or the twin trees that emerged later, they have all become what they are now."
Du Yu: "One died, and the other survived?"
Yang Qingqing suddenly asked: "Why is the Twin Tree called 'Twin'?"
Du Yu shook his head.
Yang Qingqing suddenly raised her fingers, and the flower stems suddenly tangled together, forming a model of twin trees.
She said, “One of the twin trees is called the Demon Breath Tree.
It is the tree that is full of vitality now. It continuously releases the breath of monsters and nourishes the monsters and creatures."
Yang Qingqing stretched out her finger and pointed at another entangled flower stem: "The other twin tree is called the God's Spirit Tree.
It is the tree that is now withering. It once spread divine energy to the world and nourished us humans."
Du Yu: "Nourish us humans?"
Yang Qingqing: "Demon control is the lifeline our ancestors grasped when they were cornered and faced the possibility of life and death.
Before the 3rd century, although the position of demon tamer had always existed, it was not favored by people. The so-called demon tamer was also considered to be a heresy in the cultural context of the time.
It is hard to imagine how serious the conflict between humans and monsters was at that time. At that time, our ancestors were all spirit masters. "
Du Yu: "Spirit Master!"
Slowly, a flower stem reached the left side of Du Yu's chest and gently tapped his Lingxu acupoint: "Spiritual energy, the controller of the spirit."
Du Yu opened his mouth stupidly, unable to digest such information for a moment. There was no such information in the history books or even on the Internet.
Yang Qingqing's voice was somewhat emotional: "Perhaps in order to stop this endless war, the twin trees made their own choice. Between the human race and the beast race, it abandoned us humans.
From that time on, the tree that released the spirit of the gods gradually withered and died, while the tree that released the spirit of the monsters grew more and more luxuriant. "
Du Yu: "Then we humans... lost?"
