I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 666 - 469 Du Pao Pao

"Purple Abyss Water Drops, Purple Abyss Water!" Du Yu muttered excitedly, flying toward the northern end of the island.

As he flew over Firethorn Courtyard, the Fire Phoenix Tree even happily waved its branches to greet Du Yu.

However, Du Yu didn't even spare the Fire Phoenix Tree a glance.

Fire Phoenix Tree: "..."

Watching its master hurry off, the Fire Phoenix Tree's wildly waving branches all drooped down dejectedly.

Feeling sad in secret.

Coincidentally, when Du Yu flew over the Dust Spirit Garden, the Wind Chime Tree also waved its branches.

Yet Du Yu's mind was full of Purple Abyss Water, so he couldn't see anything else at all.

Sea King Du really didn't expect that he would break so many great trees' hearts just by hurrying along the road…

"Who was that?" Under the Wind Chime Tree, Li Mengnan was full of curiosity.

The guy who just flew over should be Du Yu, right?

Du Yu, who always wore gray clothes and gray pants, suddenly changed his usual style, leaving Li Mengnan a bit perplexed.

The girl immediately got up and flew northward.

Only when she reached the beach did she see Du Yu standing on a sea reef, head lowered, looking down below.

"Second Bro?" Li Mengnan called softly.

"Ah." Du Yu finally responded, turning his head to look up into the air.

"Oh wow?" Seeing this utterly transformed Du Yu, Li Mengnan couldn't help but blink her eyes.

A roomy daisy-Dujiang-tea sweater, radiating lazy, home-chill vibes.

With Du Yu's neat, fresh short hair and those bright eyes…

Warm~

Truly, just so warm!

If we sent you back to college as a sophomore looking like this, if you didn't get your heart broken ten times a semester, your looks would be wasted!

This style of Du Yu may not have charmed Lin Shiwei,

But it's obvious Li Mengnan and Su Ming'an's tastes are totally aligned!

Warm, fresh-and-clean types like this totally suit our Second Bro.

Everyday wearing gray from head to toe—it was literally a "temperament seal"!

Li Mengnan landed beside him, grinning, and asked, "Opened up, have you? Finally vain about your looks?"

"Not important." Du Yu waved his hand rapidly, pointing to the Purple Marsh Pool below. "Shatang said the Purple Abyss Water Drops are back!"

Li Mengnan looked utterly blank: "Purple Abyss Water Drops?"

"Yep!" The joy on Du Yu's face was overflowing. "Celestial Cyan Porcelain's Purple Abyss Water Drops.

With this single drop, Celestial Cyan Porcelain has a shot at reaching Supreme Level!"

Li Mengnan finally caught on, her heart both shocked and delighted.

She had once joined the search for Purple Marsh Water, and had also tended carefully to Celestial Cyan Porcelain.

The girl knew perfectly well what Celestial Cyan Porcelain was yearning for, and what it had been seeking over the centuries.

Now hearing the Purple Abyss Water Drops have appeared, Li Mengnan was truly happy for Celestial Cyan Porcelain from the bottom of her heart.

"Haha!" Du Yu couldn't hold back his delight; the more he thought about it, the happier he got.

Supreme Level·Celestial Cyan Porcelain!

Once Celestial Cyan Porcelain succeeded, she would share the lifespan of heaven and earth, and Du Yu would never need to worry about her lifespan again.

And, with Supreme Porcelain by his side, who could possibly harm this king?

Demon Taming World?

This king's going to clear it in one go!

If anyone has a problem, stand up right now!

Oh, you're called Kunlun Divine Tree?

Uh… Please do sit down, sorry, I was a bit too loud just now…

Youhan Tree, you too—sit, standing's so tiring.

Du Yu's thoughts were all over the place, finally settling on one thing: He was finally qualified to meet Ancient Niuniu.

If it came to fighting, Celestial Cyan Porcelain probably couldn't take down Niuniu.

Even though they're both Supreme, Celestial Cyan Porcelain is a latecomer, missing out on untold years of cultivation.

Not to mention, Electric Element dominates Water Element…

But it's not a problem, just have Celestial Cyan Porcelain eat a Jia Rong Grass Fruit before facing Niuniu.

Du Yu isn't going there to pick a fight anyway.

Supreme means qualification, means the right to talk!

As long as I can chat with Niuniu, it's all good.

At least I'm the Lord of Mountains and Seas!

If Niuniu would give me some respect and clear away the dark clouds over Mountain Realm…

Then my grand plan to found my own Demon Taming World would already be halfway to success!

"Haha!" Du Yu reached out and grabbed Li Mengnan's little waist, picking her up and tossing her high in the air.

Shower of flower petals!

"Eek!" Li Mengnan gave a startled cry, feeling as if she were surfing the clouds, flying straight up into the sky.

Most people might just hold their kid up high,

But with Du Yu, it's straight-up tossing into orbit…

Well, Du Yu is still sort of human, at least he reached out to catch her.

But Li Mengnan simply stood in mid-air herself, not needing Du Yu's help at all.

Wind swirled around her feet as she looked down at Du Yu, rolling her eyes at him.

"Hehe." Du Yu scratched his head awkwardly.

Li Mengnan floated gently back down, mumbling softly, "For the sake of how happy you are, Big Sis won't hold it against you!"

"Big Sis has a beautiful heart as well as looks!" Du Yu shamelessly buttered up Little Mengnan, "By the way, for the June 6th final exam, you weren't on the student list."

Li Mengnan smirked and pursed her lips, "Tsk~ At least you know I'm beautiful… huh?"

Du Yu looked up innocently at Li Mengnan.

Li Mengnan: "..."

Du Yu: "..."

Li Mengnan fell silent, her expression growing disheartened, "I didn't get selected."

The reason for her disappointment was obvious—she knew for sure both Second Bro and Third Sis had made it in.

Du Yu comforted her softly, "Shaohai Province only takes the top five, actually with your strength you definitely could have made it.

Liu Juncai, Lin Shihao—those guys are all just Great Demon Tamers·Initial Stage.

It's the competition system that's messed up, just a pure one-shot round, doesn't even try to assess students overall…"

"Alright, alright, no need to comfort me." Li Mengnan suddenly interrupted him.

The girl knew herself well—during the last test, she simply hadn't performed at her best.

As if to strengthen his argument, Du Yu added, "Lin Shijiang is also not in the top five, which is a shame."

"Hehe~" Li Mengnan gave a tiny smile, reading the concern in Du Yu's eyes.

Honestly, with Du Yu looking so warm and gentle today, he was exactly what you needed to feel better.

This cup of "Dujiang Tea," Li Mengnan gratefully drank down.

She said softly, "I'll just keep working hard on my cultivation.

While you and Third Sis are off to the competition for these few days, I can maybe catch up a bit."

Du Yu said, "You just didn't make the selection for the Seven Provinces and One City exam.

But for the next tier, the Four Provinces final, your name is on the list."

"Oh?" Li Mengnan raised an eyebrow.

She'd always competed in the primary rounds, never paid attention to the second- or third-level disciples' exams.

The Dujiang Tea was still working: "Go get first place, Mengnan!

Let Great Xia Bookstore and everyone in Great Xia see what you can do.

Next time for finals, I guarantee the Bookstore will pull you back into the primary round."

"Mm!" Li Mengnan nodded fiercely. "Next finals, let's fight together again!"

Seeing this tough girl itching for a fight, Du Yu couldn't help feeling bad for her opponents.

Li Mengnan really isn't weak.

No doubt about it, she's one of Shaohai's top five Paper Crane Disciples!

Now she's accidentally dropped into a lower-tier round—it's going to be like dynamiting fish in a pond.

Nothing else, just summoning a Demon General·Dust Spirit Deer, who could stand up to that?

Seeing the girl perk up again, Du Yu relaxed and looked down toward the Purple Marsh Pool once more.

Slowly, a branch snaked out from the Begonia Tree and reached Du Yu's hand.

"Master, please don't come any closer." Shatang's voice was extremely serious, as if worried Du Yu would do something rash.

Du Yu nodded, fully aware how strong Purple Abyss Water was. "It's still inside?"

Shatang: "Yes, the Purple Abyss Water Drops have merged with Purple Marsh Water—and they're extremely aggressive.

Your strength is still too low, Master. Best not to get close."

"Very aggressive?" Du Yu frowned slightly.

Logically, since it came home on its own, you should at least be able to have a decent conversation, right?

Even so, the reality was more complicated.

Just like Little Fen Yang's Cinnabar Red Demon Flame.

Supreme Treasures like these, even if they're not deliberately hostile, might accidentally wipe out a living being.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain once said: Purple Abyss Water can shatter the mind and spirit of all living things.

Turn your enemy into a floating rootless duckweed, left a hollow shell, muddling through the days.

Du Yu said gravely, "I need to think of a way—I have to touch the Purple Marsh Water to contact Celestial Cyan Porcelain."

As he finished speaking, the branch suddenly pressed against Du Yu's chest, pushing him several steps back.

Then out from the Purple Marsh Pool below, a drop of purple water slowly floated upward.

It was as big as a palm, shaped like a teardrop.

Entirely deep purple, with specks of glowing light sparkling within, like a vast starry night—dreamlike and enchanting.

"Purple Abyss Water Drops," Li Mengnan breathed in awe, marveling at the creator's handiwork.

In their line of sight, the Purple Abyss Water Drops drifted closer and closer…

"Back up, back up!" Du Yu threw out an arm to guard the girl, stepping her back with him. "Shatang, whatever you do, don't provoke it!"

There were plenty of demonic plants on the island, plus the Dust Spirit Deer siblings.

If the Purple Abyss Water really got angry, then the fun would really start.

Perhaps sensing Du Yu's fear, the Purple Marsh Water Drop suddenly stopped in midair.

Li Mengnan put a hand on Du Yu's shoulder and peeked ahead. "Seems like the water drop doesn't mean any harm?"

"Still can't touch it," Du Yu said, equally serious. "You can lose your mind, lose your memory."

Li Mengnan pouted. "Oh."

Truthfully, Du Yu had his own guess—if you just barely touched the drop, it probably wouldn't be so dramatic.

The Cinnabar Red Demon Flame was the clearest example. That was already the most extreme kind of Supreme Treasure.

And even that needed some time to fully poison any living thing.

If a person instantly lost their mind and all their memories from just a touch of Purple Abyss Water, wouldn't that be over the top?

You could toss this drop over to Korea; K-drama quality would skyrocket.

No more faking amnesia!

Ours is all about honesty~

Uh… doesn't seem like this world even has that country?

And so, two people and a tree just silently watched the floating water drop. It was starting to get awkward.

As time ticked by, Du Yu steeled his mind and whispered, "You wait outside, Mengnan."

Li Mengnan: "Huh?"

Whoosh~

The next moment, the Mountain and Sea Bell flashed and Li Mengnan's figure vanished instantly.

Du Yu stared warily at the water drop, making sure there was no reaction, then slowly flew in a circle around it.

You couldn't stay stuck like this forever, obviously.

For Du Yu and even for all living things at Shatang Mansion, the sooner Celestial Cyan Porcelain returned, the better to dissolve this crisis.

Du Yu swept his hand over a Begonia Branch: "Guard me, Shatang.

If the drop really comes at me, stop it for me."

"Master…"

"It's fine, worst case I just teleport out," Du Yu said, carefully skirting the Purple Abyss Water Drop as he slowly descended toward the Purple Marsh Pool.

He kept his eye fixed on the distant drop and quickly reached his right hand into the pool. "Porcelain!

Come home, Porcelain!

Your Purple Abyss Water is ba—oh shit!"

Du Yu strained to sense the feel of the Purple Marsh Water, doing his best to transmit his emotions.

That, it turned out, was like a trigger switch for the Purple Abyss Water Drop!

The floating water drop suddenly stirred, homing in on his surging emotions, and shot straight for Du Yu!

"Whoosh—" the dense branches wove together, forming a shield in front of the drop.

Amazingly, the drop split apart into a thousand tiny streams—almost invisible—and simply slipped right through the shield, reforming beyond it!

You need to know, the begonia leaf bowls Shatang Tree can weave can hold Purple Marsh Water without spilling a drop.

So just how incredibly "fine" did this Purple Abyss Water's streams have to be?

"Don't stop it, Shatang! Don't piss it off," Du Yu had already kicked off, launching himself into the air.

"Nai~" Bai Yujing appeared in a rush.

She sensed her master's panic and soared up, carrying Du Yu on her back, hurtling straight for the sky.

What should have been a dangerous sight was just ridiculous to see.

Du Yu riding a deer, flying madly through the sky,

With the Purple Abyss Water in hot pursuit behind!

"I got the wrong guy, Water Bro, you've got the wrong one!" Du Yu shouted, while Bai Yujing twisted and turned below him.

The one I miss isn't you…

Of course, this was not something Du Yu dared to say out loud.

If the drop could understand him, he'd be dead for real!

"Splat~"

The palm-sized drop once again turned into endless tiny streams, fanning out around Du Yu.

"Run, Xiaobai, run run run!"

"Nai~~~"
