Now, everything is clear.

Since Little Fen Yang's battle is unrelated to this world, and Yang Qingqing is one of us, there's no harm in speaking about it.

In fact, deep within Little Fen Yang's heart, there's still a thought.

If one day, Du Yu's power reaches the heavens and he truly plans to venture into the Otherworld...

Little Aunt Qingqing will surely be someone by his side.

"What's the Divine Tree's view?" Yang Qingqing looked down at Du Yu, also glancing at the tender branch around his fingertips.

Du Yu: "The Divine Tree says the Thousand Paper Cranes come from another Demon Taming World.

And the bark used by the Thousand Paper Cranes is sourced from the Twin Trees of the Otherworld."

"Oh?" Yang Qingqing raised an eyebrow slightly, the words spoken by her disciple were clearly unexpected to her.

Such earth-shattering secrets just entered her ears!

Yang Qingqing was caught somewhat off guard.

Du Yu continued, "Two years ago, an axe opened up a spatial rift, descending upon our world.

Endless Thousand Paper Cranes arrived following the axe.

Now, that axe is situated within the Bottomless Abyss."

Yang Qingqing lightly furrowed her brow, lost in silent thought.

After a long moment of processing, she softly asked, "What else did the Kunlun Divine Tree say?"

"The Kunlun Divine Tree didn't say anything else, but I have something to say." Du Yu's expression was serious as he gazed up at the Immortal Master.

Yang Qingqing looked into her disciple's bright eyes, her heart faintly sensing a premonition.

Du Yu spoke gravely, "The celestial phenomenon of two years ago - the span of paper cranes - was a method of escape.

Within them carries the residual soul of a powerful Demon Beast.

This Demon Beast is named Burning Sun Golden Crow!"

With those words, Du Yu felt a unique relaxation within his heart.

It was an unprecedented sense of relief, looking again at Master Qing's exquisite face, Du Yu no longer felt a tinge of guilt in his heart.

At the same time, Du Yu realized, was he kneeling while speaking?

Of course, he wasn't kneeling to anyone, but because he was playing around with the Divine Tree Seedling, keeping him in that position.

But in any case... yes, it suits the scene?

"Burning Sun Golden Crow." Yang Qingqing gently nodded, whispering the name softly, savoring it.

Du Yu quietly said, "That Burning Sun Golden Crow... is actually within my body."

In his vision, he saw the woman reveal a gentle smile.

Du Yu's previously serious face shifted to one of utter astonishment.

He had imagined the kind of reaction Master Qing would have when he revealed his heart and shared such secrets.

Doubt, shock, disbelief, even sudden realization.

But Du Yu never expected that Master Qing would show a gratified smile?

So, she knew?!

And knew all along, just waiting for me to tell her personally?

Du Yu softly asked, "Master Qing, you... you knew?"

Yang Qingqing shook her head: "Just had some guesses."

Du Yu was incredulous!

That reaction, all for guesses?

Surely it was a certainty she recognized, hence the reaction.

Du Yu inquired, "When did Master Qing realize?"

Yang Qingqing laughed and leaned down, placing a hand on Du Yu's head, gently rubbing: "On Lantern Festival day."

"That day..."

Yang Qingqing: "That day when you tasted Lanterns for Celestial Cyan Porcelain, the food went into your mouth, but Qingci was savoring beside you.

That was the first time I understood the difference between the Supreme and other Demon Pets' existence."

Du Yu: "So?"

Yang Qingqing playfully tapped Du Yu's forehead with her finger: "So all along, you were secretly eating so many Firethorn Fruits.

At the Red Bamboo Courtyard, you stole Fire Pomegranate Fruit several times, for whom could it be?

When I didn't know, you must have eaten more Demon Plant Fruits."

"Uh..." Du Yu awkwardly scratched his head.

Well then, at least Master Qing doesn't know about sneaking Maple Syrup.

Needless to say, Du Yu was caught in the act by Lin Shiwei while licking the tree in the dead of night.

He even secretly took Li Mengnan, late at night, to eat Maple Syrup, leaving Silly Mengnan with a mouth-full of pain...

Hmm, that's good!

The junior sisters can handle it, at least they don't tattletale~

The woman straightened up, sighing softly: "In this way, many things about you can be explained."

Talking and laughing, Yang Qingqing shook her head: "Come to think of it...

With someone like you, how could the Burning Sun Golden Crow choose anyone else?"

What high praise!

Du Yu whispered: "Sorry Master Qing, I've been hiding it from you because of an agreement with the Golden Crow..."

Before he could finish, Yang Qingqing interrupted: "No matter. Since the Demon Beast is a Residual Soul and life-critical, naturally, utmost care must be taken.

The Burning Sun Golden Crow has helped you grow all along; you should reciprocate and safeguard it.

But why tell me now?"

Suddenly, a petite figure emerged from within Du Yu.

Yang Qingqing widened her lovely eyes slightly; she had heard about the Golden Crow Race legends, but it's her first time witnessing it herself.

The little one twisted its fingers, blinking large orange-red eyes: "Hello, Little Aunt Qingqing~"

Yang Qingqing: ???

In her heart, Yang Qingqing knew, the Burning Sun Golden Crow must be Supreme!

Whether it's the form it takes in the world or the grand spectacle of its appearance, it has to be the world's most top-tier Demon Beast!

Yet, such a Supreme Golden Crow opened its mouth and addressed her as Little Aunt Qingqing?

This...

As composed and poised as Yang Qingqing was, she was momentarily dumbfounded.

How could she bear such a title?

Little Fen Yang blinked, seeing Yang Qingqing's astonished expression, the little one's mood improved.
