Chapter 1290 - 812: The Gate to a New World

The calm days of cultivation passed more than half a month.

During these days, Du Yu remained focused, dedicated to arduous cultivation, changing his rest schedule to every two days.

All of this was solely for the purpose of quickly enhancing his power tier.

He had plans to go to the Ashen Continent and ambitions to ascend to Demon Emperor and cut down the Youhan Tree.

Even during his nights of rest, Du Yu utilized the time well.

He and Lin Shiwei would either go to the Firethorn Residence, sleeping soundly under the tree with the Desolate Silver Lynx, or return to the 16th-floor home to fall asleep holding Xiaoyan.

From time to time, Du Yu would call Tai Sui to be a bed and pillow, summon Little You Ying to serve as an air conditioner and night light.

The title of Prince Du was not given in vain.

Essentially, he was all about inclusivity~

As the date reached late January, one night arrived, marking Du Yu’s return to Prince Du’s Mansion.

This meant he could see Xiaoyezi again, enjoy his girlfriend’s loving breakfast, and soak in a bubble bath.

"Whew~"

Accompanied by flashing bell shadows, Du Yu and Lin Shiwei appeared in the living room.

The Golden Leaf had been waiting for a long time, immediately bringing over slippers. It had already figured out the owner’s schedule, meeting once every four days, right on time.

"Did you miss me?" Du Yu smiled and patted the leaf.

"Shasha~"

The Golden Leaf happily shook its leaves: "The hot water is ready."

"Thank you." Du Yu casually said, smiling at Lin Shiwei, then stepped towards the bedroom.

Du Yu’s home was large, except for the study, the other three rooms all had bathrooms.

The Golden Leaf not only prepared hot water for Du Yu but also provided everything needed for the lady’s bath in Little You Ying’s nursery bathroom.

As a caretaker, the Golden Leaf was very competent.

Well...at least more competent than the Firethorn Tree~

Lin Shiwei remained where she was, silently watching Du Yu’s departing back, lost in thought.

"Where’s my phone?" Du Yu walked into the bedroom and asked.

The Golden Leaf seemed to know what the owner wanted to do, a leaf already holding the phone, waiting at the bathroom door.

Du Yu stepped forward, picked up the phone, and felt a bit disappointed.

Li Mengnan still hadn’t replied to his messages.

That huge girl seemed to have disappeared from the world.

Luckily, Du Yu contacted Teacher Li Hong, and learned from her that Mengnan was cultivating in the Peach Blossom Realm.

Otherwise, Du Yu would really be at his wits’ end!

Others might not understand, but this indeed worried him.

After all, the Youhan Tree exhausts every possible mean to destroy Du Yu!

The existence of Three Holy Han is the best proof.

During the recent Asa Empire’s invasion by the Youhan Realm, so many people of the Cold Race fled everywhere, trying to integrate into the Human Race.

If Mengnan were nowhere to be found, Du Yu would really have a lot to think about.

"Crack." Du Yu opened the bathroom door, stripped off his clothes, and stepped into the large bathtub with his phone in hand.

"Ah~" He sighed comfortably; this is what life should be!

Oh yes!

Du Yu suddenly remembered something and immediately summoned Xiaoyan.

"Sip~" Hu Xiaoyan landed on Du Yu’s chest, droplets splashing.

Du Yu scooped up a handful of foam, placed it on the fox’s head, and tapped her nose playfully: "Hehe."

"Sip!" Hu Xiaoyan nudged Du Yu’s cheek, protesting.

Subsequently, she found a comfortable position and lay on Du Yu’s chest.

A fox tail held foam, with its tip also touching Du Yu’s nose.

"Uh." Du Yu rubbed his nose with his hand.

Hu Xiaoyan looked at Du Yu, smiling with charming fox eyes.

Her other tails fell into the bathtub, gently swaying, creating an air of allure.

"You demon!" Du Yu thought helplessly, "You’re really too enchanting to resist...uh?"

Before he finished speaking, the phone on the edge of the tub suddenly buzzed.

Du Yu rinsed his hand underwater, and as he raised it, a surge of Fire Demon Breath rolled over, drying his wet hand.

He picked up the phone, instantly brightening up, and immediately answered: "Mengnan?"

"Whoa?" A sweet female voice came from the other end of the line, "I heard from my mom that you’ve been looking for me quite a few times?"

Du Yu snorted and said, "I thought you’d disappeared!"

"Haha~" The girl chuckled lightly, teasing, "What, did you miss me?"

Du Yu pouted; if you really were in any danger, I’d regret it for a lifetime!

Ever since Du Yu came to the Demon Taming World, taking up heavy responsibilities, he understood many things.

Du Yu finally realized why many heroes sever ties and move forward alone.

If you have family and friends, it means you have weaknesses.

And such weaknesses are often quite fatal.

In some sense, Ancient Pine Tower City is also Du Yu’s "weakness."

Look at the current Ancient Pine Tower City!

In his confrontation with the Youhan Realm, Du Yu has lost a vulnerable spot.

"Huh?" Li Mengnan asked curiously, "Why aren’t you talking?"

"I’m here." Du Yu snapped back to reality, asking, "What’s your situation, in isolation for more than half a month?"

"Demon Pet upgrade, you know." Li Mengnan explained, "Originally, I didn’t plan to stay in the Peach Blossom Realm for long, but the Demon Pets are quite diligent, upgrading one after another, like a string~"

It was clear that the girl was very happy.

"Ha, congratulations!" Du Yu said with a smile.

"First, the Electric Soul Imprisonment advanced, and wasn’t Xun Grass releasing Pure Demon Breath? Now the cultivation of the Electric Soul Imprisonment has a future. Then the Ghostly Firefly Doll advanced..."

Li Mengnan’s little mouth was like a machine gun, rattling away without pause.

Du Yu couldn’t even get a word in, he could only respond with "Mm-hmm" to show he was listening.

"I’ve been thinking if I should hold a wedding for my parents."

"Mm...mm?" Du Yu habitually responded and suddenly realized something was off?

Weren’t you just talking about the Demon Pet’s advancement?

How did it suddenly switch to Teacher Li’s marriage...

Moreover, marriage?

Li Mengnan asked with a giggle: "What do you think? Congratulations to the two of them for getting back together and sealing the deal!"

Du Yu’s expression was odd, did Mr. and Mrs. Li really reconcile?

He thought about it and asked: "Does Teacher Li agree?"

"Tch~" Li Mengnan pouted, "My dad’s fine with anything, but my mom insists on not having one, no sense of ceremony at all.

By the way, in a few days, will you accompany me to Langao City?"

"Are you going to pay respects to Empress Huangtu?"

"Yes, it’s time to fulfill my vow." Li Mengnan’s voice carried a trace of feeling, "The Empress is truly effective!"

After she spoke, Li Mengnan added softly, "I might as well make a wish too."

Du Yu laughed and asked: "What wish do you want to make this time? A little brother, or a little sister?"

"Ah!" Li Mengnan shouted, startling Du Yu.

What he didn’t expect was for Li Mengnan to shout her displeasure, and then suddenly say, "Sounds good though, doesn’t it?"

Du Yu: "..."

"Mm, I should make note of that." Li Mengnan quickly said.

"Click."

Du Yu was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of the bathroom door opening.

His heart skipped a beat, he turned his head and unexpectedly saw Lin Shiwei walking in?

"Who?" Lin Shiwei approached the laundry basket, her back to Du Yu, and with one hand, she undid the collar button of her blouse, casually asking.

Du Yu looked at the girl’s back, observing her movements, and felt as though time had stopped at that moment!

"Mengnan?" Lin Shiwei asked softly, tossing the blouse into the laundry basket.

Du Yu had his mouth slightly open, this... this this this?

Am I supposed to be seeing this?

"Who is it?" Li Mengnan’s voice came from the other end of the phone, asking, "Is it your third sister?"

Du Yu: "Ah."

Li Mengnan pouting, muttering: "Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore! I’ll stay with my parents for two more days, then you accompany me to fulfill my vow!

Bye-bye~"

"Goodbye." Du Yu responded foolishly, looking at the tall figure of the girl before him.

Her exquisitely beautiful body outline was faintly visible amid the steaming bathroom.

Du Yu was dumbfounded.

"Ugh!" Hu Xiaoyan was unhappy.

She reached out with her two long tails and covered Du Yu’s eyes.

Du Yu instinctively wanted to remove the fox tail covering his face but hesitated in his movements.

Ultimately, he let the fox tail continue to obscure his vision, without removing it.

Lin Shiwei stood in front of the bathtub, smiling at the scene, her gaze carrying a hint of reproach.

More than half a month had passed, and Du Yu had only been proactive twice.

Once in the Youhan Realm, after defeating Demon Emperor Black Bamboo, he was brimming with confidence and spontaneously kissed her.

The second time was at the Peak of All Mountains, after he had just experienced the Holy Soldier battle and saw the Jade Dragon Lion Bone Scythe return to the Holy Grade ranks.

With great joy, Du Yu kissed her again.

Those were the only two times, no more.

"Heh..." Lin Shiwei sighed lightly, looking at the young man whose eyes were covered with the fox tail in the bathtub.

She knew very well that aside from his extreme desire to cut down the Cold Tree, Du Yu was quite passive about everything else.

Waiting for him to make a move, it’s truly uncertain when that will happen.

Fortunately, Lin Shiwei was not a shy person; she was straightforward, brave, and bold.

"Xiaoyan." Lin Shiwei bent over and hugged the little fox, her voice uncharacteristically gentle, "We’ll cuddle with you later, okay?"

"Ugh?" Hu Xiaoyan twisted her body, gently struggling.

"Be good." Lin Shiwei lowered her face and kissed the fiery red fox head lightly, "Listen."

"Ugh~" Hu Xiaoyan nudged the girl’s cheek discontentedly, then felt herself being pressed against Du Yu’s face.

As the "fox towel" landed on Du Yu’s face, he also heard a charming mature voice: "Put Xiaoyan back first."

Du Yu foolishly followed orders, the Beautiful Demon Fox instantly shattered into specks of Demon Breath, merging into his brow.

Now, nothing obscured Du Yu’s vision anymore.

Although the bathroom was shrouded in mist, Du Yu’s eyesight was undeniably sharp.

Du Yu stammered: "I, Shi...um."

"Shh." Lin Shiwei leaned down, cupping Du Yu’s cheeks with both hands, a pair of thin lips pressed against his.

AD, January 23rd.

Du Yu would remember this day forever!

On this night, within his revival point, he opened a new world of possibilities...
