I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 503 - 361 Dust Spirit Garden

"Jingle~Jingle~"

A gentle breeze brushed by, lightly swaying the branches of the Wind Chime Tree, and the tiny Wind Chime Fruits hanging on it emitted a series of melodious bell sounds.

The blossoms and leaves of the Wind Chime Tree were pure white, as if they had just weathered a heavy snow, cloaked in a wintery white.

Underneath the white Wind Chime Tree stood a young man and woman.

The girl wore a cheerful smile, tilting her head slightly, looking at the boy with a troubled expression.

And Du Yu...

"Uh." Du Yu grimaced, feeling like the fruit in his mouth was attacking him.

The Wind Chime Fruit was wholly translucent, not much larger than a marble, very much like the lantern fruit you’d find in the regular world.

Despite being a fruit, they emitted clear bell sounds.

Perhaps the Wind Element was secretly causing mischief?

Even stranger, as Du Yu bit into the Wind Chime Fruit, the lush flesh and juice engulfing his taste buds, the wind element within indeed acted like tiny knives, constantly slicing at Du Yu’s tongue.

"Is it tasty?" Lin Shiwei asked with great interest, eyeing Du Yu.

Du Yu nodded and then shook his head: "The flesh and juice are somewhat bitter, the fourth best Demonic Plant Fruit I’ve ever had.

The only downside is that it makes my mouth sore."

"Hehe~" Lin Shiwei couldn’t help but laugh.

Indeed, the Wind Elemental Wind Chime Tree is considered quite mild; whether its disposition or fruit flavor, it all hints at the word ’gentle.’

She raised her hand upward, casually asking: "What are the top three tastiest fruits?"

Du Yu: "Divine Tree Fruit, Jia Rong Grass Fruit, Shatang Tree Fruit."

Lin Shiwei nodded; she hadn’t had the fortune to taste the Divine Tree Fruit and Shatang Tree Fruit.

However, Jia Rong Grass Fruit, Lin Shiwei had consumed several times during explorations in the Mountain Realm.

Compared to other Demonic Plant Fruits, the taste of Jia Rong Grass Fruit is much more agreeable to the Human Race.

With the girl’s movement, the Wind Chime Tree slowly lowered a branch.

The pure white blossoms and leaves gently shifted, offering her a small Wind Chime Fruit.

"Jingle~" Lin Shiwei shook her hand lightly, the small fruit rolled in her palm, accompanied by faint bell sounds.

Du Yu: "You..."

"Hmm?" Lin Shiwei popped the fruit into her mouth, her white teeth gently breaking the translucent fruit open.

Subsequently, she closed her lovely eyes, thoughtfully savoring the taste in her mouth.

After a while, she whispered: "When I was a child, these beautiful fruits always fascinated me, though I never learned my lesson.

I always thought since Wind Chime Fruits are so translucent and beautiful, there should be a tasty one; I just never found it."

Du Yu: "..."

Suddenly, he wished to see the young Little Shiwei of the past, grimacing under the Wind Chime Tree...

Gently, the girl opened her eyes, licking her thin lips stung by the wind: "Would you like to come to my other home?"

Du Yu: "What?"

Lin Shiwei smiled: "I was talking to the tree."

"Oh." Du Yu looked up at the Wind Chime Flower Tree, which stands over twenty meters tall.

Much like the Fire Phoenix Tree, it too was at the Spirit Level·Peak Stage, having reached its maximum potential value, unable to advance further in cultivation.

"So, what do you think, Wind Chime?" Lin Shiwei placed her hand on the trunk, gently patting it.

Demonic Plants are different from Demon Pets, as they don’t possess a Demon Soul, thus unable to communicate with Lin Shiwei.

Although thoughts can’t be transmitted, communication is still possible.

"Jingle~Jingle~"

The Wind Chime Tree branches swayed lightly, and as it bobbed up and down, the translucent fruits hanging on it issued delightful bell sounds again.

Seeing the Demonic Plant consent, Lin Shiwei’s face broke into a smile.

As she gradually grew up, all those wonderful childhood memories of frolicking and playing under the Wind Chime Tree were stored deep in her memory.

Now, the Wind Chime Tree agreed to journey to Du Yu’s Sea Realm.

This way, there would be more time to spend together with the Wind Chime Tree.

She turned to look at Du Yu, tilting her head slightly, motioning towards the Wind Chime Tree beside her.

Du Yu understood, stepped forward, placed a hand on the trunk: "Hello, I am Shiwei’s teammate."

"Du Yu, I know you." A young woman’s voice rang in his mind.

That voice was as clear and pleasing as the swaying Wind Chime Fruit on the tree.

Du Yu’s expression froze for a moment, that voice was truly lovely~

He possessed some Demonic Plants, the Shatang Tree, Jia Rong Grass, Fire Phoenix Tree, and Golden Leaf.

Demonic Plants have no gender distinction, but the voices of Du Yu’s four Demonic Plants tend to be male.

The voices of Shatang and Jia Rong were somewhat old and deep.

The Fire Phoenix Tree’s voice was warm, like a male late-night sensual broadcaster, utterly mismatched with its aggressive temperament.

The Golden Leaf’s voice was small and faint, reflected its timid and humble nature.

Finally, a different kind of Demonic Plant came along.

Du Yu: "You know me?"

Wind Chime Tree: "My owner mentioned you once. I saw you walking through the forest with her little one."

"Oh..."

Wind Chime Tree: "Where does my little one want to take me?"

Du Yu no longer used a Demon Soul, instead speaking: "To a secluded sea island.

Your owner’s Dust Spirit Deer gave birth to a fawn, she wants to provide a stable environment for the Little Dust Spirit Deer to grow, hoping you can help care for it as well."

"Jingle~Jingle~"

The Wind Chime Flower Tree swayed without any wind, its translucent blossoms fluttered, and the light bell sounds seemed to convey strands of joy.

Du Yu patted the trunk: "Dig out some soil to take along. The island is all rocky ground."

"Okay!"

"Oh," Du Yu retreated a few steps, looking up at the snow-white flower tree, "sorry to ask you to crouch down first and curl up into a ball.

We need to open the Celestial Gate, and you are too tall."

The Wind Chime Tree naturally didn’t know what the Celestial Gate was, but with its little owner by its side, it obediently listened to Du Yu.

As the wind chime branches bent down, Du Yu and Lin Shiwei stepped back.

Digging, curling up, wrapped into a tree ball.

For a Spirit Level·Peak Stage Demonic Plant, this is not difficult at all.

The growth in strength of a Demonic Plant means an increase in the flexibility of the trunk and branches.

In the past, the 20-meter tall Fire Phoenix Tree could live pitifully in Du Yu’s mere 3-meter high house.

Its flexibility and plasticity were evident.

Soon, a huge tree cocoon appeared in front of the two of them.

Lin Shiwei stepped forward again: "Let’s go."

Du Yu: "Aren’t we telling Aunt Su?"

Lin Shiwei smiled: "I can make the decision."

Upon hearing this, Du Yu said nothing more, flipping his palm, the Mountain and Sea Bell flashed briefly.

One moment it was a dense maple forest, the next it was a clear blue sea.

No matter how many times Lin Shiwei came in, she always felt that Du Yu’s Spiritual Artifact was amazing.

"Splash~"

Waves crashed against the rocks, stirring up waves.

"Hold the soil." Du Yu patted the white flower leaf, "Follow me."

The two of them and the tree crossed the beach and had just arrived at the Begonia Bridge when Du Yu pressed a hand on the bridge railing: "Shatang, help transport this Wind Chime Tree."

In Lin Shiwei’s astonished eyes, the Begonia Forest on both sides of the Begonia Bridge suddenly came "alive!"

Each tree reached out, rolled up the Wind Chime Tree, and like a relay, transported it towards Shatang Mansion.

Du Yu explained: "Every Begonia Tree on the island is a clone of Shatang."

Lin Shiwei couldn’t help but secretly admire: "Truly worthy of an Ancient Demon Saint."

As Du Yu proceeded along the Begonia Bridge, his hand brushed over the bridge railing: "Shatang, let me tell you about my plan."

Until the two of them reached the end of the bridge, Du Yu explained everything to Shatang.

The Sea God·Shatang was undoubtedly a very good housekeeper.

Ever since acknowledging Du Yu as the Lord of Mountains and Seas, it had served him wholeheartedly.

Regarding Du Yu’s wish for a "back garden," the Shatang Tree had no objections and immediately started construction.

It also didn’t mind when new Demon Pets and new Demonic Plants moved in.

Because everything Du Yu did was what he initially told the Shatang Tree:

He would bring everyone he cared about into the Sea Realm.

He also wanted to transform this prison into a refuge, a true Peach Blossom Spring.

Speaking of which, since Du Yu became the new Lord of Mountains and Seas, the Shatang Tree was no longer lonely.

And after transitioning from "Prison Warden" to "Head Housekeeper", the Shatang Tree found new meaning and value in its existence...

Its life seemed to have brightened significantly.

After all, for a normal-thinking being, accompanying prisoners in prison and leisurely living in a Peach Blossom Spring are bound to result in different moods.

"Click."

The mansion’s large doors parted to the left and right, and Lin Shiwei immediately saw the Immortal Master meditating under the tree.

The girl quickly stepped forward, gazing at the woman in the distance: "Auntie."

Perhaps because the environment was sufficiently private, General Lin’s title had changed.

Floating gracefully, Yang Qingqing unfolded her crossed legs and stood steadily on the ground: "Wind Chime?"

Little Shiwei truly had no standing, as Auntie immediately asked about the tree.

It seemed... Yang Qingqing was more focused on the Demonic Plant than her own niece?

"Yes, the Wind Chime Tree, the one that accompanied me as a child." Lin Shiwei began to explain and also recounted the story of the Dust Spirit Deer.

"I was wondering what all the commotion was about." Yang Qingqing suddenly understood, then asked, "Yiren gave birth to two cubs?"

Lin Shiwei: "Mom said this situation was particularly rare, and it must be the effect of the Nameless Tree Fruit."

"Hmm." Yang Qingqing knew what good relationships Du Yu had formed during his two visits to the Ten Thousand Plants Garden and how many rare supplements he brought back.

Lin Shiwei: "It’s said that eating the Nameless Tree Fruit can bring Demon Beasts more blessings, longer life, and more offspring."

Then, Lin Shiwei turned to look at Du Yu, smiling: "Yiren being able to give birth to two Little Deer is at least half thanks to you."

Du Yu: ???

The words were good words.

But something just didn’t feel right?

"Let’s go." Yang Qingqing, in a good mood, said, "I’ll accompany you to see the new garden."

Master Qing’s love for Demonic Plants was undoubtedly genuine.

Her interest in worldly matters was low, as evidenced by her attitude towards food.

Du Yu followed, suggesting: "There are so many Demonic Plants at Master Qing’s house, how about moving a few into the garden?"

Yang Qingqing smiled and glanced at Du Yu.

Is her good disciple plotting against his Master?

"Hehe." Du Yu understood the Immortal Master’s expression and gave an embarrassed smile.

Yang Qingqing asked: "What name do you plan to give this garden?"

There were indeed few things that could pique Yang Qingqing’s interest, but evidently, Du Yu’s naming of things intrigued her.

Ever since she saw the real names of Du Yu’s Demon Pets on Little You Ying, she looked forward to what names her disciple could come up with.

Du Yu thought for a bit: "Dust Spirit Garden?"

Yang Qingqing nodded slightly, the name was indeed refined and had an artistic touch.

But she said: "As the garden is completed, in the future, there might be other Demon Pets added here."

Du Yu, however, was firm: "Perhaps, but this garden was initially built for the Dust Spirit Deer."

Yang Qingqing raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at her disciple beside her.

Gradually, a faint smile appeared on the woman’s face: "Alright, then it shall be called Dust Spirit Garden."

Du Yu seized the opportunity: "While Master Qing has some time, could you help inscribe a plaque?"

"Heh." Yang Qingqing let out a light laugh.

Can’t leave empty-handed?
