Chapter 1317 - 836: The Scent of Pear Blossoms Once Again

In March, the warm sun is bright.

During the early morning, the Ancient Pine Tower is serene, resembling a scene of spring warmth and blooming flowers.

On the 16th-floor master bedroom, it’s equally brimming with spring vitality.

As for the reason...

It’s naturally because of the twin flowers blooming softly on the windowsill.

A light pear blossom fragrance wafts in the dark master bedroom, surrounding the noses of the pair in bed.

"Hmm..." Li Mengnan murmured with a vague nasal tone, slowly opening her drowsy eyes.

Gazing at the ceiling covered with golden leaves, Li Mengnan took a moment to realize where she was.

Du Yu’s home.

No, our home.

The girl seemed to think of something else, her face tinged with a blush.

She quietly turned her head, looking at the person beside her.

The long and rhythmic breathing of Du Yu made Li Mengnan very at ease.

Previously, they had been performing tasks in the Ashen Continent for a full month and a half.

Even at night, when Du Yu would lead everyone back to the Sea Realm for rest, people remained tense and on edge.

Now, they were finally home.

It was evident that Du Yu was very tired and as such, especially relaxed in this environment.

Otherwise, with his Demon Taming General·Peak Stage strength, it was impossible not to notice someone secretly watching.

Li Mengnan’s face was flushed, lost in thought staring at Du Yu’s side profile.

She didn’t know how long had passed when another wave of drowsiness hit.

Inhaling the faint scent of pear blossoms, she carefully nestled closer, her cheek against his shoulder, closing her eyes once more.

This sleep was deep and oblivious.

When she woke again, the sun was already high.

"Hmm... hmm..." The sleeping girl just felt her nose itch.

Rubbing her nose with a hand, she hazily opened her sleepy eyes.

She saw a fiery red beautiful demon fox standing beside her head, looking at her playfully.

And a fiery red fox tail reached her face, its golden tip playfully rubbing her nose.

"Xiaoyan." Li Mengnan smiled, very gently.

Hu Xiaoyan’s fox eyes widened instantly.

Though the master bedroom was dark, with the girl’s smile, it seemed the whole room brightened.

At this moment, Xiaoyan was bewildered.

It was always her who enchanted Li Mengnan; for the first time, Hu Xiaoyan felt she had been ensnared!

"Hmm." Li Mengnan’s lazy appearance was indeed intoxicating; she brushed away the mischievous tail tip, "Stop playing."

Hu Xiaoyan hesitated, then the tail tip approached again, teasing the large bed at home: "You sleep better than Master Shiwei."

"Huh?" Li Mengnan’s expression froze.

Then her face blushed redly in an instant.

Li Mengnan, shy and annoyed, embraced Hu Xiaoyan with one hand, directly stuffing the little fox into the quilt: "You rascal, shut up, don’t speak!"

"Hehe~" The beautiful demon fox lightly chuckled, making Li Mengnan’s face even redder.

After a while, Li Mengnan pretended to be fierce and said: "Where’s your master?"

"Gone to cook for you." Hu Xiaoyan snuggled in her mistress’s arms, "When will you make me something delicious?"

"Now?" Li Mengnan asked.

"Sure, then quickly get up!" Xiaoyan extended a few long tails, slightly exerting force, burrowing under the girl’s back.

"Eh?" Li Mengnan called out softly, only feeling the long tails behind lifting gently, she just sat up directly.

Forced wake-up service?

Hmm... being awakened by such a beautiful demon fox is also a kind of enjoyment?

Li Mengnan smiled at the little fox, then rubbed her slightly messy long hair, got out of bed, and walked towards the bathroom.

But as she placed her hand on the doorknob and just opened the bathroom door a sliver...

She stiffened in place.

"Shasha~" The golden leaf was very curious; it quickly came over, helping the mistress to open the bathroom door.

"Thank you." Li Mengnan’s face burned like fire, walked in with her head down into the bathroom.

Darn it, troublesome thing!

After half an hour, Li Mengnan, wearing a white silk nightie, walked out of the bedroom.

At that moment, Du Yu was sitting on the sofa, his expression heavy as he scrolled through his phone.

Noticing someone coming, he immediately looked up, the heavy expression changing to a smile: "You’re awake."

"Mm." Li Mengnan slightly lowered her head, responding softly.

"Oof!" By the girl’s fair legs, a beautiful demon fox was standing.

Hu Xiaoyan used her furry fox head to nudge Li Mengnan’s legs, as if urging her to quickly cook something delicious.

"Alright, alright." Li Mengnan replied helplessly, quickly walking towards the dining room.

Staring at the girl’s back, Du Yu felt somewhat dazed.

A long time ago, in the Demon Pet Paradise one night, he secretly woke up Li Mengnan, coaxing her to join him to eat maple syrup.

Beneath the moonlight, the girl wore the same pure white nightie, beautiful as the Moon Goddess.

"Ah..." Du Yu sighed heavily.

This beauty, he wonders if he can truly protect it.

He looked down at his phone, reading the news from countries on the west side of the continent, his expression growing heavy again.

Bottomless abysses frequently appearing was evidently not normal.

As of now, seven bottomless abysses have opened on the continent’s western side, showing a trend like the Seven Star Alignments.

Is it because the Twin Tree Realm and Youhan Tree Realm are closely linked, with Youhan Tree seizing this opportunity?

Or perhaps the Youhan Tree did it intentionally, regardless of the cost, continually opening bottomless abysses on the western side?

Cold Tree...

What exactly are you planning?

Will this be a precursor to a massive invasion?

It’s worth mentioning that Great Xia’s Spirit Cultivation Place has been open long enough, already giving rise to a number of Great Spirit Masters.

Great Spirit Masters are Fourth Level, aligning with Demon Taming·Great Demon Tamer.

At this level, you can create Spiritual Shields, also known as "Spiritual Energy Carpets," which can be used to block the Bottomless Gate.

This means that although there are many Bottomless Abysses on the western side of the continent, the Great Xia has enough manpower to block these Bottomless Abysses.

Currently, what the Great Xia lacks is not those who guard, but those who attack and kill!

No surprise, Du Yu will soon be sent to the front lines to cut down the Cold Trees and cooperate with the soldiers to block the numerous Bottomless Gates.

Du Yu was secretly worried, while Li Mengnan, who entered the dining room, looked at the loving breakfast Du Yu made for her, feeling sweet inside.

She walked towards the refrigerator, opened the cabinet door, and originally planned to cook whatever was available for Xiaoyan but found it was filled with ingredients.

Li Mengnan was a bit surprised and called, "Du Yu?"

"Hmm?"

"Did you go out to buy groceries?"

"Went to the capital city this morning to buy some." Du Yu replied casually, then saw a piece of news, furrowing his brows involuntarily.

New type of Cold Beasts frequently appearing?

Due to the unclear properties, Demon Skills, etc., of the new type of Cold Beasts, they pose a great disturbance to the Human Race Corps.

Darn it!

What on earth are these Celestial Treasure Race creatures, naturally birthed by heaven and earth?

The girl’s clear voice came again: "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet... Oh, wait a moment." Du Yu got up and walked to the dining room, "I’ll heat up the dishes."

"Ding~ Ding~" Li Mengnan was holding a small bowl and a spoon, constantly stirring the clean water, maple syrup, and egg liquid in the bowl.

At the girl’s leg, Hu Xiaoyan sat obediently, occasionally sticking out her tongue to lick her lips, looking quite expectant.

"What’s wrong?" Li Mengnan saw Du Yu approaching, noticing his displeased expression.

"Things aren’t looking too good in the west." Du Yu sent one hand to his side, and the Golden Leaf immediately reached over, helping its master hold the phone.

"Hmm..." Upon hearing this, Li Mengnan’s heart was filled with joy, but it suddenly turned into worry.

This world is indeed quite cruel.

Li Mengnan never felt her life was so wonderful, with a loved one in front of her and an adorable pet at her feet.

Having all this, who would want to lose it?

Yet the Youhan Tree hangs like a sharp sword above everyone’s head, ready to pierce down and destroy the entire world at any moment.

This feeling is simply terrible!

Du Yu turned on the induction cooker, heating up the mushrooms and bok choy, and also sensed the girl’s emotions.

He softly said, "It’s okay."

"Hmm?"

Chef Du smiled and even flipped the pan: "We also brought back powerful allies, like the Ghostly Radiance Hammer, the Wind Dance Sword, and the Supreme·Flowing Fire."

Du Yu felt nothing but gratitude at this moment.

His idea of "upgrading the arsenal" was very correct and his response was timely.

No matter what, the addition of Supreme·Flowing Fire Suanni has given the Cyan Gate Squad a qualitative improvement in combat power, which also gives Du Yu full confidence!

As the saying goes: Among the six attributes, the Thunder Attribute is the most explosive in terms of output. The only thing comparable to Thunder is the Fire Attribute!

When Du Yu first encountered Flowing Fire, the other had already demonstrated powerful output capabilities.

A Flame Array from Flowing Fire, wouldn’t it burn all things to ashes?

The only thing that left Du Yu feeling a bit melancholic was that he wasn’t at a high enough level.

Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor...

Once he reaches the Demon Emperor Level, he can use the Eternal Diamond Grade Rapid Lightning Flash with Kui Chou’s help.

By then, Du Yu’s instant teleportation will be faster and piecing together his body will take less time, leaving the Cold Tree with less reaction time.

Kui Chou, the Supreme, once clearly stated that Du Yu can try again after becoming Emperor.

Du Yu is eagerly looking forward to that day!

Whether alive or dead...

In any case, first try the Kunlun Divine Tree, if it’s really possible, he will definitely deliver a fatal blow to the Cold Tree and thus completely liberate the entire Twin Tree Realm!

Du Yu, like Li Mengnan, like everyone in the world, had enough of feeling the sharp edge above his head!

However, he had only just advanced to the Peak Stage of Demon Taming General for a short time, and it will take some time to become Emperor.

It’s unknown whether the Youhan Tree will give him time to grow.

After all, the situation on the western side of the continent is really not optimistic.

Hmm... Find some time to meet Flowing Fire, understand the list of the Supreme Lord’s Demon Skills for joint battle plans in the future.

Li Mengnan, indeed beautiful and kind-hearted, saw Du Yu trying to act light-hearted, she also tried her best to restrain her inner sorrow.

"Hmm." The girl sprinkled a little salt into the egg liquid, turned to Du Yu, and whispered, "And you too."

Du Yu grinned: "Can I compare to Supreme·Flowing Fire?"

"Hmph, who knows!" Li Mengnan gave Du Yu a sidelong glance, "I’m not complimenting you."

Despite her words saying otherwise, she whispered as she placed the porcelain bowl into the steamer.

"What is this?" The Beautiful Demon Fox poked its beautiful fox head, rubbing against the heroine’s leg.

"Maple Syrup Egg Cake." Li Mengnan smiled as she crouched down to rub the fiery red fox’s head.

"Wow!" Hu Xiaoyan’s eyes glowed brightly, licking the girl’s face as a reward.

Is it a new dish?

"Hehe~" Li Mengnan’s face felt ticklish, leaning back to dodge.

Du Yu watched this scene with a smile, unable to tell which was more beautiful, the girl’s eyes, or the fox’s eyes.

"Ying!" Hu Xiaoyan lifted her head, looked at Du Yu, and through the Contract, conveyed words, "I told you, I like this."

Du Yu rolled his eyes helplessly, turned, and plated the dish.

"Let’s eat." Du Yu placed the dishes on the table.

"What are we going to do afterward?"

Du Yu: "Check out the newly joined Demon Pet and Demon Soldiers, familiarize ourselves."

"Okay." Li Mengnan instinctively glanced at her wrist.

A Holy Weapon·Wind Dance Sword is stored here!

In the future, she can also help Du Yu on the battlefield, sharing some tasks and ensuring his safety.

Thinking of this made Li Mengnan feel beautiful again.

Later, she must witness the power of the Holy Sword!
