Chapter 8 - 006 Farewell

Chapter 8: 006 Farewell

For a moment, his heart was filled with anticipation.

"They are all good people."

"Hmm?" Du Yu felt a blur before his eyes, then the image of the Little Burning Sun girl mysteriously appeared, sitting on Du Yu’s stomach, looking earnestly at him.

The little girl’s duck-sitting posture was quite standard. Although sitting on Du Yu, Little Fen Yang was still just an illusory figure, not bearing any weight at all.

Curiosity filled Du Yu’s heart: "Why do you say that?"

"I’m very powerful!" Little Fen Yang slightly raised her head with a proud little expression, "I can feel their hearts, just like you, they’re good people."

Du Yu was astonished. Little Fen Yang had such capabilities? So, it was the rare pure fire attribute and the good people card that led you to wander half of the Great Xia and ultimately choose me?

The question is... Am I really a good person?

"Chirp?" The lazy Little Fire Fox suddenly perked up, curiously inspecting Little Fen Yang and trying hard to crawl out of Du Yu’s palm.

The Little Fire Fox, dragging her big tail, wobbling towards her target, always gave people a sense of determination despite physical limitations...

Tsk tsk~

No matter the size, as long as they’re pretty ladies?

Speaking of which, this Little Fire Fox is also female, why does she like cozying up to the girls so much?

"Hee hee~" Little Fen Yang looked at the silly, cute Little Fire Fox and reached out to gently pat the little fox’s head.

It’s a pity that her little hand was illusory, and the Little Fire Fox didn’t feel the caress.

"Oh, Little Fen Yang, are you also in a youngling form?" Du Yu curiously inquired.

"Um." Little Fen Yang nodded, "The big tree, it hurt me so badly. My demon soul was almost shattered. I turned into fire, reborn..."

As expected, rebirth by fire!

Du Yu was immediately invigorated, and Little Fen Yang mentioned a term: demon soul.

The world has a clear hierarchy for demon beasts, from low to high, it is: 1 Mortal Level, 2 Earth Level, 3 Heavenly Level, 4 Spirit Level, 5 Demon General Level, 6 Demon Emperor Level, 7 Demon Saint Level.

The Fourth Level - Spirit Level is the phase change stage. Once reaching this level, demon beasts can cultivate a demon soul.

The demon soul is an extraordinary thing!

You can even consider it as a second life for a demon beast.

Even if a demon beast perishes, as long as its demon soul remains, given some time, and with human assistance, it can reconstruct its physical body!

Although reconstructing a physical body is extremely difficult, and even if it succeeds, the demon beast’s lifespan would be greatly reduced, at least it counts as living again.

Du Yu was well aware that Little Fen Yang couldn’t just be at the Spirit Demon Level. Based on her ability to cover the eastern land of Great Xia with thousands of paper cranes, she was most likely at the Seventh Level - the level of a Demon Saint!

Or perhaps even beyond that!

As soon as Du Yu got home, he searched for information about Little Fen Yang on his phone. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find specific data on the Burning Sun Golden Crow.

Online, there were only legendary stories about the Golden Crow Race, which didn’t help Du Yu much.

Even more frustrating was that for the phenomenon of the paper crane rainstorm, there were many divergent opinions online, and he didn’t find news about a fight between the Golden Crow and a big tree causing a celestial phenomenon.

Du Yu even specifically searched for information on the Kunlun Mountain Range - Twin Ancient Trees, hoping to try his luck, but found nothing.

Thinking of this, Du Yu sat up: "Little Fen Yang, why did you fight with the big tree? Where is that big tree?"

Upon hearing this, Little Fen Yang fiddled with her fingers: "Forgot, forgot."

Du Yu slightly raised an eyebrow, unsure if Little Fen Yang forgot or just didn’t want to say.

He organized his thoughts and quietly asked: "You’re very proficient in the Great Xia language. Where did you learn it? Do you have any human friends, or are you the demon pet of some great power of the human race?"

With just one sentence, Little Fen Yang’s little face fell, and her figure disappeared, merging into Du Yu’s body.

Du Yu’s heart tightened. Did he step on a landmine?

After a moment of hesitation, he softly called out in his mind: "Did I say something wrong? I’m sorry, Little Fen Yang."

A sincere apology still didn’t receive any response.

After some hesitation, Du Yu tried to change the topic: "Earlier, you said we formed a contract, is it you contracting me? After all, I still don’t know how to make one."

Still, there was silence.

Du Yu, with ample patience, gently asked: "What’s the difference between a pet contractor and vice versa?

Tell me, as I become stronger, I can better nourish you with my body for your growth, don’t you think?"

"There’s no difference." Little Fen Yang finally replied softly, "I just want to find a home."

No difference?

Du Yu frowned slightly, but didn’t press further. After all, Little Fen Yang had just been sulking and ignoring him.

A pet contract doesn’t mean the relationship between the parties is one of master and servant, but rather, they are equal. So logically, the reverse should be the same?

Du Yu really wanted to know the true nature of Little Fen Yang, and who her previous demon tamer was.

Like demon beasts, demon tamers also have a clear hierarchy.

From low to high, they are: 1 Demon Tamer, 2 Demon Warrior, 3 Demon Tamer, 4 Great Demon Tamer, 5 Demon-Taming General, 6 Demon Emperor, 7 Demon Taming Saint.

If Little Fen Yang did have a human companion, they had to be the top tier of demon tamers.

In the Great Xia realm, the number of Demon Taming Saints can be counted on ten fingers. Could Little Fen Yang be related to them?

If any Great Xia Demon Taming Saint had perished in the past couple of days, it could indeed be Little Fen Yang’s companion! After all, without the demise of her previous demon tamer, Little Fen Yang would not need to seek another home.

The more Du Yu thought about it, the more it seemed plausible, prompting him to pick up his phone to search again, but even if such news existed, it would likely be sealed off, away from the public’s knowledge.

He was deeply engrossed in his online investigations when a voice came to him in his mind: "She can turn red~"

"What?"

"Little Fire Fox, newborn. Spirituality not yet dissipated, still has a chance."

Du Yu put down his phone and softly asked: "Change to heterochromatic? What should I do?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll help you." Little Fen Yang’s image suddenly appeared, hovering in front of Du Yu’s face, meeting his gaze intensely, "This time, I’ll work hard."

Du Yu didn’t fully understand, but the scene before his eyes made his heart twitch gently!

Before this conversation, the sunset-colored eyes of Little Fen Yang were still as beautiful as ever.

Pure, lively.

But now, her eyes were filled with sorrow.

She stretched out her illusory little hand, fingers lightly touching Du Yu’s bright eyes.

Through these familiar Eyes of Burning Sun, she seemed to be mourning someone, or perhaps, it was an unspoken farewell...
