In front of Master Qing, Lin Chuan and Lin Shiwei were almost indistinguishable.

Lin Chuan had always been respectful to his little aunt, looking up to her with admiration, and always hoping to gain her recognition, but unfortunately...

Lin Chuan suddenly shook his head, something felt wrong!

How could I, a Great Demon Tamer, compare myself to a child? That's laughable!

He continued speaking, "Du Yu and Little Shiwei are both great. The girl named Li Mengnan is slightly less impressive, mostly because she lacks a Fire-type Demon Pet."

"You've worked hard during this time."

"Please don't say that, we're family. By the way, how have you been recently? I heard from the family that you're about to..."

"Yes, just focus on your cultivation, don't lag behind."

"Understood."

Yang Qingqing put down her phone, pondered for a moment, and then dialed another number:

"Shadow Gu Tower, please arrange something for me."

"Yes, my disciple, Paper Crane Disciple·Du Yu. Put him ahead of me."

"As someone who has successfully reached the top, I think he's qualified to jump the queue, don't you think?"

...

In the evening, a black SUV slowly drove into the underground parking lot of Xishu Garden. As the car door opened, a particularly unpleasant smell wafted out.

Fortunately, there weren't many people around, and no one cast strange looks at the young man and woman.

Du Yu holding Xiaoyan, walked into the elevator with Lin Shiwei, feeling dizzy and extremely tired.

Earlier, when he took Li Mengnan home, he got scolded by Li Hong and felt the love from a high school homeroom teacher once again.

The so-called scolding was, of course, more about concern.

Li Hong naturally didn't know where the child had wandered off to, but seeing her daughter all dirty and looking like a little beggar, it broke her heart.

Actually... looking like a beggar isn't so bad; the key was that Li Mengnan looked more like a dead dog, carried on Du Yu's shoulder back into her home, which indeed looked quite pitiful...

As the elevator slowly ascended, in the quiet little space, Lin Shiwei suddenly turned her head to look at Du Yu.

Du Yu blinked, not understanding why.

"Hehe~"

"Hehe." The two looked at each other for a few seconds and then burst into laughter, not knowing what they were giggling about. Perhaps seeing each other in such a sorry state was a bit amusing.

Once back on the 17th floor, they walked out of the elevator and along the long corridor of flowers and leaves, only to find a faint light inside the room in the distance.

Du Yu's heart was stirred, and he whispered, "Has Master Qing returned?"

"Maybe?" Lin Shiwei quickened her pace into the home, curiously looking around, "Little Aunt?"

They waited at the door for a moment, only to be met with the branches of the Fire Phoenix Tree.

"No, no, Brother Tree. I'm not in the mood today, don't play with me... oh?" Du Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. The branch shrank back?

Impossible!

My Fire Phoenix Tree can't be this obedient!

Could it be... does it find me dirty?

"You're back." Along with the sound of footsteps on the stairs, a cool voice came through.

Du Yu felt joy in his heart, quickly looking up, and finally saw the figure of the Immortal Master once again.

She hadn't changed, still as dazzling and with an ethereal temperament.

So it seems...

"Master Qing, was everything smooth? Did Senior Brother Fu succeed?" Du Yu asked excitedly.

Yang Qingqing slightly raised an eyebrow, slowly walking to the two young people, catching a whiff of a familiar scent.

A faint scent of blood, a strong smell of sweat, and the cold breath acquired from prolonged confinement on the battlefield.

The mixed smell was quite unpleasant, but Yang Qingqing didn't mind, only recalling her past.

"Master Qing?"

"Hm?" Yang Qingqing came back to her senses, calling the two inside, "Come in."

Du Yu whispered, "Where's Senior Brother Fu?"

"He hasn't returned."

"Bang!" Du Yu's face stiffened, and the bundle and Demon Soldier Bow in his hand all fell to the ground.

Yang Qingqing looked at Du Yu, who appeared like he had been struck by lightning, and comforted, "Sword Province succeeded, but the process was rather complicated. He is currently consolidating his cultivation and hasn't returned to Ancient Pine Tower City yet."

"Ah..." Du Yu opened his mouth, looking at Master Qing with a face full of grievance.

"Hehe~" That small, resentful expression actually made Yang Qingqing laugh, "Go wash up, get enough rest, and prepare for a tough battle ahead."

"A tough battle? Aren't I supposed to report to school tomorrow?"

Yang Qingqing: "There's no need; you'll be on standby at home."

"Little Aunt." Lin Shiwei looked at Yang Qingqing eagerly, probing, "Is it about the Shadow Gu Tower?"

Yang Qingqing looked at the girl and nodded slightly.

"I..." Lin Shiwei hesitated for a moment, before plucking up the courage, "Can I climb the tower with Du Yu?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingqing frowned slightly.

Lin Shiwei instinctively lowered her head, avoiding her little aunt's gaze.

Subsequently, she raised her eyes again, looking at Yang Qingqing with a determined expression.

Yang Qingqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly, noting how the girl's stubborn look hadn't changed at all.

Du Yu sensed a bit of tension in the atmosphere and spoke, "Master Qing..."

Yang Qingqing: "Go take a bath."

"Yes." All Du Yu's words were swallowed back down, as he picked up his things and headed toward the guest room, sneaking a glance back, catching a glimpse of Yang Qingqing softly placing her hand on Lin Shiwei's forehead.

While Lin Shiwei closed her eyes tightly, looking like she wanted to avoid it but didn't dare.

The valiant warrior who was always fearless in the team finally revealed a girlish side in front of Master Qing.

But why did this scene feel a bit familiar?

"Splash!"

Far away, Du Yu actually heard the sound of the Demon Breath Battle Robe shattering!

Wow~ This is indeed the real little aunt! A flick of the finger shattered a Demon Breath Battle Robe...

Du Yu silently clicked his tongue in astonishment, quickly entering the guest room and heading straight for the bathroom, "Xiaoyan, come out for a bubble bath."

"Squeak~" The Fire Demon Breath on her forehead gathered into a beautiful Little Fox, her long tail hooking around Du Yu's neck, perching lightly on his shoulder.

While Du Yu ran the water, her fiery red large tail kept covering his face, playfully disturbing his vision.

"Hmm?" Du Yu grabbed her big tail with one hand, looking at its tip.

The golden fur had become much denser; without close observation, people could easily notice the peculiarity of her tail.

However, the golden fur was limited to the tip of the tail and did not spread to other areas.

"You're becoming more and more beautiful." Du Yu thought joyfully, wasn't this a sign that Xiaoyan was evolving along the line of an Ancient Fire Fox?

Smiling, he gently picked up her big tail and kissed the tip lightly.

"Squeak~" Xiaoyan proudly raised her little head and switched to another tail, nudging it to Du Yu's lips.

"Mua~"
