I Have a Golden Crow

Chapter 1067 - 671: Two Years · Two Years_3

"Mom, I’m back!" Li Mengnan fumbled for the keys to open the door, and even before the door was open, she shouted out loud.However, until the door was opened, Du Yu still didn’t see the familiar figure.

With his strong perception, he did hear Teacher Li Hong’s voice, seeming to be on the phone with someone?

Li Mengnan changed her shoes while calling out: "Mom?"

"Stop calling, teacher is on the phone." Du Yu softly changed his shoes, like second nature, placing the bought fruits and milk separately on the living room coffee table and in the kitchen.

Li Hong was still clearing up doubts for the person on the other end of the phone call, mentioning names of several key high schools in the city, school cut-off scores, teacher quality and such.

Such a topic also completely dragged Du Yu back into the real world.

It was hard to imagine that in the morning, he was still in some sea area in the south of Great Xia, helping Master Qing contract the Sorrow Seabird.

In the afternoon, he was beside the Holy Weapon Cold Lake Sword, roasting fish by the foggy lakeside.

And at this very moment, he was sitting in a school district apartment, listening to a class teacher solve a parent’s puzzles.

It’s quite a separation,

and quite magical too.

No wonder Li Mengnan has a deeper understanding and a closer connection to the ordinary world.

"Mom!" Li Mengnan opened the room door, stomped her foot in a complaining manner, "Why are you ignoring me!"

Li Hong seemed startled. At first, she was surprised, and after seeing her daughter standing at the door, her face couldn’t help but break into a delighted smile.

She immediately got up and went forward, holding the phone with one hand and holding her daughter’s wrist, carefully looking at her own girl.

You could tell, Li Hong was overwhelmingly happy about her daughter’s safe return.

However, such joy quickly changed its flavor.

Li Hong turned and walked into the room, gestured for her daughter to leave first.

Li Mengnan: "..."

She is an undisputed goddess, and even a dignified Demon Taming General.

It’s no exaggeration to say that wherever Li Mengnan goes, there are admiring and awe-filled gazes following.

Yet once back home...

What’s with mom’s actions?

Is she shooing a little dog away?

Other kids get at least a week home on break before parents get tired of them.

But not for her, they hardly even looked at her before getting tired?!

Li Mengnan felt miserable to no end, wishing to tell her mom of all her life-and-death experiences for such a long time.

But she held back and held back, well...never mind.

Talking about experiences in the Demon Taming World to mom would only add to mother’s worries and troubles, with no beneficial effect at all.

For any real need to vent, talking to dad suffices.

"Mom, Du Yu came to see you." Li Mengnan said.

Li Hong clearly paused for a moment, then she quickly wrapped up the call in a few words and walked out the bedroom door: "Xiaoyu is here?"

"Teacher Li." In front of the sofa, Du Yu quickly stood up, nodding with a smile.

"You’ve grown up, I almost don’t recognize you." Li Hong stepped forward, placed a hand on Du Yu’s arm, looking him up and down.

Du Yu’s appearance hadn’t changed at all, but in the way of Demon Taming, it’s about refining one’s Spirit, Essence, and Qi!

At this moment, General Yu was indeed like a different person.

"No, Teacher Li, I haven’t grown." Du Yu chuckled, "Just 1cm short, didn’t manage to shoot up."

"Haha." Li Hong couldn’t help but smile, "One seventy-nine is enough...Have you eaten? Want me to cook you a meal?"

Du Yu didn’t hold back, it was just the right time for dinner: "Alright, let me help you."

"No need, just sit, watch TV, or check your room if you want." Li Hong immediately refused.

"Crunch." Li Mengnan sat on the sofa, picked up a pear, and took a bite.

Such a noise naturally caught Li Hong’s attention.

She looked at her leisurely daughter on the sofa and suddenly erupted with anger: "Mengnan, come over here, help me wash the vegetables."

Li Mengnan whispered: "I just finished eating it."

"Eat it after dinner!"

Li Mengnan pursed her lips and kept quiet in the end.

She put down the pear, lifted her long legs and stepped across the coffee table in one go.

Immediately, Li Hong’s fury surged as she dragged her daughter into the kitchen.

Du Yu stood silly in the living room, not daring to say anything...

After a while, he tilted his head towards his old bedroom and walked over.

Little Fen Yang: "Nothing has changed here."

Du Yu stood at the door, looking at the interior furniture arrangement, except for his luggage, everything else hadn’t changed.

"Hehe~" Little Fen Yang softly said, "Xiaoyan signed a contract with you on this very bed."

"Hmm..." Du Yu leaned against the door frame, a hint of recollection in his eyes.

It was with Little Fen Yang’s help, his first time contracting a Demon Pet.

That was also the first time he connected souls and thoughts.

Du Yu whispered: "Back then, you used to stammer even while talking and were unwilling to tell me who our enemies were."

Little Fen Yang retorted: "I really forgot."

"Hehe."

"Lie down."

"Huh?"

Little Fen Yang: "Lie down!"

Du Yu hesitated for a moment but still stepped into the room, closing the door behind him.

He lay on the familiar bed and saw the familiar ceiling.

Suddenly, Little Fen Yang appeared silently.

Again with that familiar duck sitting posture.

She sat on Du Yu’s stomach, smilingly looking at him: "Back then, it was just like this. I appeared suddenly and startled you."

Du Yu smiled: "No, you didn’t scare me at all."

"Pfft~" Little Fen Yang turned her head aside, scanning the room around.

She was inspecting the room while Du Yu was quietly observing Little Fen Yang.

The Demon Soul, still the adorable Demon Soul.

But she was no longer weak, no longer was she afraid that her soul would dissipate.

In those big orange-red eyes, there’s no more fear, nor is there confusion within.

Two years have passed,

Sorry, I still haven’t managed to help you restore your physical body.

But at least you no longer live in fear, your life is serene, it’s happy.

It should be...well, happy.

"Du Yu."

"What?"

Little Fen Yang slowly lay down, the charming face resting sideways in Du Yu’s arms.

Her small hand tried to grasp Du Yu’s clothing but didn’t succeed.

After all, a Demon Soul doesn’t have a physical form, still insubstantial, yet the gesture is expressive.

She said softly: "I am happy."

Du Yu: "Huh?"

"Silly Du Yu." Little Fen Yang murmured, closing her eyes, gently rubbing her cheek against his embrace.

...

Five thousand one hundred words, it’s the last day of the month, asking for some monthly passes.
