I Have a Golden Crow

Chapter 974 - 628: Tragic Qingqing

Returning to the Red Bamboo Courtyard, Du Yu saw the fallen leaves covering the ground, carrying a unique, desolate beauty.The spacious courtyard, the bamboo chairs and tables in the corner, and the exquisite Bamboo House.

Every place holds Du Yu’s memories.

"Heh." Standing in the courtyard, Du Yu suddenly shook his head and laughed.

"What’s wrong, Master?" Hongye stepped forward curiously, looking at Du Yu’s profile.

Du Yu walked towards the Bamboo House: "Everywhere is filled with memories, I feel as if I’ve gotten old."

Yet I am only 20 years old, having come to this Demon Taming World, it hasn’t even been two years.

Hmm... maybe the Life of a Demon Tamer is just too exciting.

In these two years, I’ve been to so many places, experienced so many stories.

Smelling the fresh scent of bamboo, Du Yu opened the door to the house.

He looked towards Master Qing’s bed on the west side, as if he could see that delicate green figure.

Then, Du Yu turned around and walked towards the east side, plopping down on his own bamboo bed.

The interior was spotless, evidently having been cleaned.

"Master, I’ve placed the Fire Age Axe here." Hongye’s Demon Soul enveloped Du Yu, sensing his thoughts.

Yet, Du Yu extended his hand.

Hongye immediately held the Fire Age Axe with both hands and handed it over.

"This axe wasn’t given to me for nothing." Du Yu grasped the axe handle, his thumb stroking the flame groove in the center.

One must know, Du Yu never asked for an axe, the idea of training axe techniques was purely his own.

And upon arriving at the Bamboo Grove, just after meeting Elder Yinsuo, a mighty War Axe was handed to Du Yu.

Isn’t it like my wishes being fulfilled?

Undoubtedly, Elder Yinsuo must have seen some vision, and thus prepared beforehand, having the clan’s Demon Weapon Master forge this Demon Soldier Axe.

As it happened, in the recent vision, Du Yu also saw himself wielding the War Axe.

"What will we do for the Chi Bear Race?" Du Yu weighed the bamboo-made War Axe, speaking to himself.

"Buzz!"

The Fire Age Axe lightly trembled, as if it could understand Du Yu’s thoughts?

It was crafted from the Mother of the Demon Spirit Realm, Tai Sui Fire Bamboo, which undoubtedly set the lower bound of the Fire Age Axe.

As for its upper bound, and how far Du Yu could go with the Fire Age Axe...

"Woo~"

Suddenly, the sound of a Chi Bear was heard outside.

"Hmm?" Du Yu turned to look towards the window.

Hongye stepped over and propped up the swing-open bamboo window.

Outside the Red Bamboo Courtyard, stood a massive Chi Bear, over 5 meters tall, its tiny 2-meter-high bamboo fence couldn’t block its figure.

On its head, it wore a dull brown conical hat.

The Demon General Chi Bears range from 4 to 6 meters in height, this one is obviously an expert!

Hongye: "Woo?"

Earth Bamboo Chi Bear: "Woo!"

Du Yu asked curiously: "What brings it here?"

"Woo~" Hongye, through the Demon Soul, transmitted the thought: "This tribesman is named Tutuan, sent by Elder Earth Bamboo."

Elder?

Du Yu blinked, the five Grand Elders of the Chi Bear, who superseded the clan leader, were the highest decision-makers of the Bamboo Grove.

Du Yu had just seen the Earth Bamboo Elder in the Thunder Pool.

Hongye continued: "Tutuan is sent by the Elder to teach you axe skills."

Du Yu: "..."

Indeed, just as desired?

Looks like myself and this Fire Age Axe are destined to make significant contributions to the Chi Bear Race!

Du Yu got up and walked to the door: "Is Tutuan male or female?"

"Male."

"Let him in." Du Yu casually changed pronouns, pushed the bamboo door open, and walked towards the courtyard.

Hongye: "Woo~"

Tutuan walked in, clasping his hands in salute to Du Yu who approached him.

Du Yu smiled and returned the gesture: "Hello, teacher."

"Woo." Tutuan shook his head repeatedly, seemingly overwhelmed by the honor.

Who Du Yu is, every Chi Bear in the Bamboo Grove knows very well.

If before they respected Du Yu because a higher command ordered the Chi Bears to bow to Du Yu.

Then since Du Yu returned the Tai Sui Thunder Bamboo, the respect they have for Du Yu is genuine.

Hongye smiled: "He says he dares not, only here to spar with you."

Du Yu asked puzzled: "Are you in a hurry to leave?"

Tutuan shook his head again: "Woo."

Hongye thoughtfully translated: "At your disposal."

Du Yu didn’t hold back: "Then I’ll rest first, you..."

As he spoke, he had a sudden thought and swept his hand across in front of him.

Accompanied by a torrent of Fire Demon Breath, Little Tai Sui was summoned.

"Woo?" Little Tai Sui’s eyes rolled around before, upon recognizing the surroundings, it instantly became joyful.

Finally, this clumsy bear is home! Who is this unfamiliar Earth Chi Bear? So big... hey? Isn’t this Sister Hongye?

"Woo!" Little Tai Sui raced towards Hongye, its furry head burying into Hongye’s embrace.

"Hehe~" Hongye chuckled, reaching out her bear paw, she stroked Tai Sui’s head.

She wanted to say something, but was aware of Little Tai Sui’s strong nostalgia.

Some was for Hongye, but more was for its homeland.

Thinking about it, during the days Tai Sui accompanied Du Yu, they had been to many places, experienced many stories.

Du Yu turned and returned to the Bamboo House, with Hongye’s Demon Soul enveloping him, transmitting thoughts was very smooth: "Let Tutuan train Little Tai Sui first."

Hongye: "Alright."

Du Yu walked back alone into the Bamboo House, sat on the bamboo bed, and casually took out his phone.
