I Have a Golden Crow

Chapter 1089: Chapter 684: Rules?

In the afternoon, Du Yu and Lin Shiwei flew to the Great Xia Capital City and were taken directly to the Twenty-Ninth Bureau.

In the blazing summer, the Twenty-Ninth Bureau is quite a good place to avoid the heat.

The front and back yards of the Twenty-Ninth Bureau are full of green plants, and various attribute vines climb on the building’s surface, providing shade and a cultivation environment for the staff.

"Whoa, hey?" Du Yu said as he got off the car, looking at the building covered in vines.

It’s only been a month or so, and the bureau’s changed again?

It’s much more pleasing to the eye than before.

Du Yu: "Do you think it’s Master Qing who had them planted?"

Everyone knows Master Qing likes flowers and green plants.

Lin Shiwei took a sip of her lemon water, feeling very comfortable: "Maybe his subordinates are catering to his tastes."

"That’s true, Master Qing is a director now, so there must be many people trying to please him," Du Yu glanced at Lin Shiwei.

So young, yet knows so much?

Lin Shiwei misunderstood and handed the lemon water over: "Here."

"I’ve had enough to eat and drink," Du Yu quickly shook his head.

When they returned, the two bought roasted goose and roast duck in Luzhou City, along with several cold drinks, enjoying themselves on the plane.

It’s worth mentioning that the roasted goose and roast duck from Luzhou City are really great!

As for why Du Yu would buy them...

Previously, on the way to Citu Temple with Jiang Feng, a friendly female citizen leaned out of her window and shouted, urging Du Yu to try her hometown’s delicacies.

Du Yu wasn’t foolish; he didn’t go to buy it himself. After all, Luzhou City had just experienced a big commotion and many citizens were frightened.

Even though Du Yu was considered a hero, going out to eat and stroll at this time with Lin Shiwei would definitely draw criticism.

So Du Yu asked a soldier to help buy them.

The amusing part is, after sharing his request with the military, Lin Shiwei teased: "If Senior Brother Fu was here, would you let him buy it?"

Well... Du Yu didn’t dare respond at that time.

"Knock knock knock~" The two reached the 7th floor familiar with the place and knocked on the director’s office door.

The door was open, and inside, Senior Brother Li Jing’s voice could be heard as if talking on the phone.

Following the sound, Li Jing looked towards the door and immediately showed delight: "Come in quickly!"

He ended the call within a few sentences: "You finally returned. Luzhou City praised us highly. You completed the mission excellently."

"Mainly, the Spiritual Artifact has its limits," Du Yu laughed and stepped forward, giving Senior Brother Li Jing a big hug.

"No need to be modest, Master Qing is very satisfied too." Li Jing encouragedly patted Du Yu’s shoulder, "Sit down, I’ll make some tea for you."

"No need, senior brother, we don’t need to be formal among family." Du Yu declined, "I’ll go take Senior Brother Fu and the others from Zhongli and report to the bureau first."

"Alright, go quickly." Li Jing nodded immediately.

With Bell Shadow flashing, only Lin Shiwei was left in the room.

"Is Master Qing not here?" Lin Shiwei asked.

"After confirming your task completion, Master Qing went to the adjacent lounge. Do you need something, junior sister?"

"No, don’t disturb Master Qing." Lin Shiwei walked towards the lounge area, "Don’t worry about me, senior brother, go ahead."

The senior brother and sister didn’t expect that just after finishing their conversation, the Bell Shadow flashed again.

Du Yu returned from the Mountain Realm with Fu Jianzhou, Jiang Feng, and Li Mengnan.

Lin Shiwei looked at Du Yu from afar, slightly raising an eyebrow.

Du Yu subtly nodded back.

"Hehe." Lin Shiwei understood implicitly that Senior Sister Jiang’s contract with the Three Spirits Coin must have been successful.

"Senior Sister, nice to see you again." Li Jing greeted with a smile.

Jiang Feng had just joined a few days ago and returned to Ancient Pine Tower City after reporting to Li Jing.

In just 3 or 4 days, this newcomer successfully completed an important task.

Clearly, solving the arising Spiritual Artifact in the city would bring huge benefits to the Twenty-Ninth Bureau.

Dealing with a Spiritual Artifact in the wilderness, although it protects the world similarly, its influence isn’t as significant. That’s an objective fact.

"Li Jing." Jiang Feng nodded lightly, in a somewhat peculiar state, looking at the coin in her hand, "I..."

Li Jing, as the bureau’s secretary, is undoubtedly a keen person.

He immediately understood the soldier’s state of mind, saying, "Spiritual Artifact choosing a master is uncontrollable, and no one can stop it.

Our mission is to solve the rampant Spiritual Artifacts.

Guiding Spiritual Artifacts to find suitable masters, restraining their behavior for our use, is even more essential!"

Fu Jianzhou said with a smile: "Right, no need to overthink, Senior Sister, and anyway, we also have to take corresponding responsibility and duty."

"Indeed." Li Jing and Fu Jianzhou complemented each other, "Senior Sister knows what our little junior brother has been up to lately, right?"

Jiang Feng instinctively looked at Du Yu.

Li Jing: "Little Junior Brother is leading from the front, and our two junior sisters were with him on the mission at the Bottomless Pit."

Jiang Feng’s face became serious: "I understand."

"Let’s go, Senior Sister, let’s report our mission." Li Mengnan tugged at Jiang Feng’s sleeve, revealing a sweet smile.

Looking at the sweet and lovely girl before her, Jiang Feng smiled too: "Okay."

Just one task journey, and Jiang Feng could feel the care from her junior brothers and sisters, in every aspect, big and small.

Jiang Feng isn’t foolish; previously, she simply didn’t understand how Spiritual Artifacts operated.

And now, with the contract for the Three Spirits Coin completed, Jiang Feng completely understood why her little junior brother specially asked her to dig mud and search for coins.

Also, why when she stood under the bridge, extending her arm to hand the ancient coin to Du Yu’s face, her little junior brother made her awkwardly frozen in place.

Some things are destined from the start.

Just that Du Yu didn’t say it.

Regarding Du Yu being the leader of this small team, Jiang Feng also deeply felt it.

The little junior brother seems easygoing and approachable, but he possesses absolute decision-making power.

Ever since entering the Mountain Realm, Fu Jianzhou, who first grasped the understanding, began intentionally guiding Jiang Feng, and Li Mengnan, who reacted afterward, also started chiming in.

Everything was in perfect order.

Being pulled by his collar out of the office, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but turn his head and deeply gaze at Du Yu.

Du Yu stepped forward quickly, "Don’t be nervous, Senior Sister, just report normally, we will go together."

Actually, he didn’t have much to say, just explaining the task process to the Bureau, the problem-solving ideas, and so on.

As for the specific information of the Three Spirits Coin, its origin story or whatever, the Bureau had to seek Jiang Feng for understanding.

Soon, Du Yu returned to the Director’s office.

He nestled in the sofa, scrolling through the news of Luzhou City on his phone, occasionally glancing at Senior Brother Li Jing’s figure bustling around.

Gee~ really busy!

It’s said that Master Qing is resting in the lounge?

Hmm... truly a good master, really giving his disciple an opportunity to train~

As Du Yu silently grumbled, a clear and cold voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"What’s up, Qingci?" Du Yu put down his phone and asked, puzzled.

"I’m returning to the Dragon Palace."

"Is there something wrong?" Du Yu was quite perplexed, for although Celestial Cyan Porcelain’s home was indeed at the Candle Sea Dragon Palace, there wasn’t any task there, right?

"Nothing, just returning to take a look."

"Oh?" Du Yu frowned slightly, not believing so.

Since visiting Elder Langao, Du Yu held even more awe towards beings of Supreme level.

Such beings have transcended the mortal world, transforming into the heavens and earth, and their thoughts aren’t easily stirred.

If one wants to eat a fish or take a nap, that’s quite normal, but suddenly wanting to return to the distant Candle Sea Dragon Palace?

Plus, during these recent times, Celestial Cyan Porcelain has been continuously comprehending the rules...

Du Yu’s heart stirred greatly, "Qingci, could you wait for me for a while? I’ll accompany you back."

Within the cold voice, a trace of subtle delight mingled, "Alright."

Du Yu immediately picked up his phone and dialed a number.

Coincidentally, Senior Brother Fu and the other two returned, but Senior Sister Jiang was nowhere to be seen.

Du Yu spoke, "Qingci is going back to the Candle Sea Dragon Palace for a visit, would you like to browse around?"

"Sure!" Li Mengnan’s eyes instantly sparkled, as Du Yu had promised her before that he’d take her along the next time he goes to the Dragon Palace.

It’s evident the girl had been looking forward to this trip for a long time.

Fu Jianzhou said, "Bai Lan also looks forward to going there."

Du Yu glanced at Lin Shiwei, "Let’s go together, just relax for a few days and broaden your horizons... Hello! I am Du Yu."

Lin Shiwei curiously gazed at Du Yu, not knowing with whom he was conversing.

"Yes, correct." Du Yu nodded repeatedly, "I can arrive at any time, same old place, just arrange a time for me."

This trip, of course, was to go to the Kunlun Realm to collect the Dragon Corpse.

Yesterday afternoon, Annihilation Ash Demon Flame informed Little Fen Yang that the White Jade Dragon was already burned.

Not only had the cold qi within it been burned off, but even its Demon Breath had been swallowed by the Demon Fire.

It was thoroughly complete...

Du Yu had thought that this White Jade Road could release Wood and Water Demon Breath, but reality proved he was just imagining things.

After all, the mighty Demon Fire·Annihilation Ash Demon Flame is not a contestant known for sparing a single bite!

It had been starving in the Peach Blossom Realm for hundreds of years; asking it to eat one less mouthful felt worse than killing it!

After saying goodbye to Senior Brother Li Jing, Du Yu activated the Mountain and Sea Bell, bringing everyone into the Sea Realm.

Senior Sister Jiang Feng still had to stay in the Bureau for a while, given that the history of Three Spirits Coin was ripe for investigation, so Du Yu didn’t wait for her.

Ten minutes later, Du Yu also bid farewell to Senior Brother Li Jing, waving the Void Axe before him, "Take care, Senior Brother!"

"You too." Watching Du Yu smoothly wield the Void Axe, Li Jing’s face revealed a meaningful smile.

Previously, on the phone, when Lin Shiwei asked the Bureau to arrange for a return flight, Du Yu’s Void Axe was still somewhat unwieldy.

The little junior brother’s spiritual artifact seemed intelligent, working intermittently.

Good when needed, bad when not!

After retrieving the Dragon Corpse, Du Yu stepped into his respawn point— home on the 16th floor.

Having learned from past experience, Du Yu simply took a bath in the bathroom, repeatedly cleaning to ensure he was squeaky clean.

Hmm... all to be enjoyed by the Supreme Lord.

Du Yu no longer wanted to be wrapped by Dragon Beard, swished back and forth in the sea.

After cleaning thoroughly, Du Yu changed into fresh clothes and then activated the Mountain and Sea Bell.

"Oh!" Du Yu let out a soft exclamation, his entire body ensnared by the thick and long Dragon Beard.

The enormous Dragon Beard was extremely cold, causing Du Yu to shiver.

On the beach ahead were the White Jade Dragon Corpse he had brought back, along with his brother and sisters who were awestruck.

Behind him surged an overwhelming, incredible oppression, pressing on Du Yu, making him shiver and nearly suffocate.

"Qing... Qingci?" Du Yu’s body stiffens, turning his head with difficulty.

What he saw was not a Hundred-Meter Dragon Boat, but a Thousand-Meter Cyan Dragon!

Although Du Yu couldn’t see the Dragon Body or Dragon Tail, the head of the Hundred-Meter Dragon Turtle and the head of the Thousand-Meter Cyan Dragon were worlds apart in scale!

"Gulp." Du Yu swallowed hard, staring foolishly upward, "Aren’t these Demon Skills extremely taxing mentally and energy-draining?"

Celestial Cyan Porcelain said blandly, "Who set the rules?"

"Who set what? Aren’t these the rules of the Demon Skills, heaven, and earth’s laws..." Du Yu’s words paused, he seemed to understand something.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain slightly opened her mouth, swallowing the tiny Human Race into the Dragon’s Mouth.

Ha,

This time, at least it’s clean.
