Du Yu sat up, holding Xiaoyan in his arms, "What about other aspects? Any changes?"

Xiaoyan thought seriously for a moment, then shook her head.

Du Yu softly reassured her, "When you're in your ancient form, all your body's attributes should increase significantly, just like Tai Sui."

"Mm, I feel it," Xiaoyan said, and her body grew larger once again.

Du Yu was once again submerged by the fiery red "fox fur blanket", and only after she stepped away did he catch his breath.

Beside him, the Desolate Silver Lynx approached.

She was full of curiosity, and there was also a hint of envy.

Watching Xiaoyan stretch her body, fully displaying her enchanting figure, the Desolate Silver Lynx draped a long tail over Du Yu's arm, "Why can she grow bigger?"

Du Yu admired the beautiful Xiaoyan and explained, "This is the ancient form of the Fire Fox Race, the appearance of their ancestors hundreds of years ago."

"Hmm?" Du Yu's response was completely unexpected for the Desolate Silver Lynx.

She didn't know much about history but could understand the concepts of "ancestors" and "hundreds of years ago."

"The original form of the Fire Fox Race."

"Yes, that's exactly it," Du Yu patted the silver long tail, "Little Tai Sui can also activate the ancient form, you haven't seen... oh, right. Tai Sui hasn't shown it in front of you."

The Desolate Silver Lynx said, "I also want to revert to my original form."

"Well..." Du Yu looked a bit troubled.

The Desolate Silver Lynx's sand-like voice was tinged with irritation, "Is it because of the contract again?"

"It's not just the contract, you're also not a fire attribute."

Du Yu patted the silver long tail, trying to soothe Lord Baojun, "Lord Golden Crow can only stimulate the potential of fire demonic beasts and find ancient bloodlines."

Upon hearing this, the Desolate Silver Lynx's eyes became even more envious when looking at Xiaoyan.

Du Yu whispered, "You're already very big, weighing over 400 kilograms, that's enough!

Do you really want to crush me?"

"Meow!" The Desolate Silver Lynx was instantly displeased, letting out a hiss at Du Yu.

"Ying~" A fiery red figure swooped in, its long tail reaching below the Desolate Silver Lynx's face.

The golden tip of Xiaoyan's tail lifted the Desolate Silver Lynx's chin, and her red tail supported her jaw, turning the tyrant's head around.

The Desolate Silver Lynx: ???

The Fox King Yan smiled, using another fire tail to smooth the fur on the Desolate Silver Lynx's fluffy face.

The Desolate Silver Lynx: "..."

The little creature that should have been nestled in her arms now suddenly became almost as big as her, making it hard for the Desolate Silver Lynx to adjust.

In fact, Xiaoyan was still several sizes smaller than the Desolate Silver Lynx.

The ancient Yan was 2 meters long and had a 2-meter tail, while the Desolate Silver Lynx was 2.5 meters long with a tail over 2 meters.

The ancient Yan was less than 1.5 meters tall, whereas the Desolate Silver Lynx's shoulder height was over 1.8 meters.

In appearance, Lord Baojun completely outmatched Xiaoyan.

"Ying~" Taking advantage of the Desolate Silver Lynx's distracted state, Xiaoyan suddenly took a step forward, bit onto Du Yu's collar, and whisked him away from the tyrant.

Du Yu felt a blur before his eyes as the scenery around him rapidly receded.

Such speed!

The red enchantress had just come to a halt on the gravel ground when a silver lightning struck!

Both being heterochromatic demon pets, they shared explosive speed talents.

And Xiaoyan's hard strength seemed to have been compensated by her ancient form?

"Haha, let's go, Xiaoyan!" Du Yu climbed onto the fox's back, "Let's find the Shatang tree and ask about what's going on with this bridge!"

All along, it was Du Yu who held her through battles far and wide.

Today, Du Yu finally experienced the feeling of riding a Fire Fox!

"Ying~" Xiaoyan cooed, a red flash with the implied intention to race the Desolate Silver Lynx.

"Meow!" The Desolate Silver Lynx would not be left behind, darting forward at high speed.

"Whoa~~~" Du Yu exclaimed, proving that the Fire Fox Race wasn't quite suitable as a steed.

When Xiaoyan ran, her back jolted considerably, far less stable than riding Bai Yujing.

Perhaps sensing Du Yu's predicament, Xiaoyan's fiery red tail suddenly curled around.

Two tails rose up, forming a backrest.

Two tails wrapped around, turning into a safety belt?

Du Yu was bewildered, could it be played like this?

The fierce wind howled as Du Yu covered his mouth and nose with both hands, turning to look at the silver lightning beside him.

The two speed-type kings raced neck and neck.

The rapidly speeding scenery of begonia trees around them blurred the scene, whereas the silver lightning remained clear.

"Foolish Monarch, learn a thing or two!" Du Yu shouted, "When I ride you, why don't your tails become a safety belt for me?"

"Meow!!!" The Desolate Silver Lynx finally bristled!

With her heart already filled with envy and jealousy, unable to awaken her ancient bloodline, and now being provoked by Du Yu like this...

"Bang!" The Desolate Silver Lynx slapped the Begonia Bridge, and the round wooden beneath instantly shattered!

"Uh." Du Yu was startled, ducking his head and clamping his legs around his mount, "Run, run!"

"Hehehe~" Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh, springing lightly towards the island's center.

The Desolate Silver Lynx stopped in place, staring intently at Du Yu, but the ancient Yan's speed was too fast, disappearing in a blink.

"Hmm?" The Desolate Silver Lynx sensed something.

She raised her massive paw, only to see the fractured round wood beneath slowly moving.

Within a few seconds, the shattered area had already been replaced by a brand new begonia tree.

"Meow." The Desolate Silver Lynx understood that the Begonia Bridge beneath her was actually part of the Shatang Tree at the island's center.

The other side didn't retaliate, probably out of respect for the owner.

The Desolate Silver Lynx hesitated for a moment, then dashed out again.

Meanwhile, in the island's center.

"My goodness!" Du Yu was shocked!

At the end of Begonia Bridge, not only stands the Sea Tree·Shatang, but also an ancient house?

This...

I've just sheared a cool 300,000 from the library.

Counting the 158,000 I didn't spend on the car earlier, plus two months' wages, it's a total of over 470,000.

I was thinking of rolling up my sleeves and doing something big.

Turns out Shatang has already set up a home?

"You're here." Shatang gently sways, making the sound of leaves rustling.

Du Yu: "This courtyard?"

Shatang: "It's yours."

Du Yu: "..."

Throughout this journey, he's clung to quite a few little rich ladies.

From Little Rich Lady Li Mengnan, to Landlord Lin Shiwei, and to the unfathomably wealthy Yang Qingqing.

But no matter what, at least Du Yu clung to humans!

And today, Prince Du's freeloading career has expanded into new realms!

Cling to trees!

Du Yu flips off his fox and looks up at the front door of the mansion: "What a vintage style, whose home is it modeled after?"

"It's from so long ago, I don't remember." Shatang's branches and leaves wrap around Du Yu's hand as it slowly speaks, "My memory of Human Race houses is like this."

"This isn't for the average folk." Du Yu pinched the deep red leaves.

Evidently, this courtyard's prototype should be the red brick and green tile quadrangle courtyard.

Above the front door, there's even a blank plaque, seemingly waiting for Du Yu to inscribe something.

Du Yu steps forward, pushing open the wooden door.

A spacious courtyard meets the eye, and in the center stands the body of the Shatang Tree.

Although Shatang's branches are lush, the ancient wood is towering, so the courtyard isn't shrouded in darkness.

"A quadrangle, huh." Du Yu looks around, "This is way too big."

Shatang: "You once said you wanted to shelter your friends and family here."

"That I did." Du Yu comes to the Shatang Tree, giving the trunk a motivational pat.

He looks around, noticing a circular gate in the left front corner?

He looks to the right front, seeing another circular gate in the corner.

Du Yu: "Is there another courtyard back there?"

Shatang: "Yes."

Du Yu feels awkward, scratching his head.

Do you have some misunderstanding about me?

I don't have that many people I care about.

Honestly, I barely have any friends...

Well... never mind, let's leave it at that.

Since I'm a freeloader, I have no right to complain.

Speaking of which, this square courtyard can inspire Du Yu a bit, setting the directions for north, south, east, and west.

In his mind, Du Yu sets the direction the door faces as south.

He walks to the left and steps onto the corridor, taking three strides in two steps before opening the west wing door.

Du Yu immediately gets energized!

The room is completely empty, finally giving him room to work.

"Ying~" The Ancient Yan darts into the room, glancing around.

"Don't be picky, we're just looking, not staying here." Du Yu pats the fiery tail in front of him, "Troublemakers like you usually have to be hidden away deep in the boudoir."

Xiaoyan turns to look at him, blinking: "Hmm?"

"You have to stay in the back courtyard, where no one can see you." Du Yu grins, "Come on, let's go check it out."

"Ying~" Xiaoyan suddenly returns to her original size, nimbly leaping onto Du Yu's shoulder.

One person and one fox stroll down the corridor, through the circular gate, into a wide-open view.

A courtyard of the same size, except the center lacks the Shatang Tree, making it look much bigger.

Du Yu explores for a while, thinking that maybe he could plant a Fire Phoenix Tree in the center?

Just unsure if the Fire Phoenix would want to be so close to Shatang.

One's fire, one's water, indeed a bit conflicting.

"Come, Xiaoyan." Du Yu sits on the steps before the main house, calling to Xiaoyan scurrying around, "Today, we'll learn your new Demon Skill in the new home!"

Xiaoyan immediately nodded.

"Let me show you the video... hmm." Du Yu just opened his phone and then stopped.

In the Mountain and Sea Realm, where's the signal?

"Alright, I'll describe it... Foolish Monarch, don't be upset, come over." Du Yu suddenly notices a silver figure swaying in the corner and shouts loudly.

"Meow." The Desolate Silver Lynx reluctantly comes over.

Du Yu's way of comforting her is simple and crude, hugging Lord Baojun's big head and petting it hard.

Petting the cat, he says to Xiaoyan: "The Fire Fox Race's Spirit Level Demon Skill is called Fox Face Fire Sea.

You need to gather the Fire Demon Breath within your body to your head, and use flames to piece together a fox face mask.

This fox face mask can spray a terrifying sea of fire with a wide attack range!

If used properly, Fox Face Fire Sea's attack span can even reach nearly 180 degrees...

Xiaoyan glances at the wooden courtyard, seemingly a bit wary.

Du Yu understands, patting the red leaves coiled around his wrist: "Shatang, letting out fire here should be fine, right?"

"No problem." As grand as the Sea Tree, why fear flames?

"Alright, Xiaoyan, let's assemble the mask first!"

"Ying!"
