Two days later, Du Yu and Yang Qingqing boarded the plane heading to Jinguan City.

Without Senior Brother Fu bustling around, Du Yu naturally took on the role, handling everything himself.

Just like how Senior Brother Fu accompanied Du Yu on the flight, Du Yu was now accompanying Yang Qingqing.

The only difference was that Du Yu bought first-class tickets.

The high ticket prices made Du Yu feel a pinch, but there was no choice; he couldn't let Master suffer.

Riding a bicycle to the bar, save where you can, but spend where it counts~

If I make Master Qing happy, who knows, she might toss thirty or fifty thousand at me just casually?

Hmm...

In February, Jinguan City wasn't too cold, at least much warmer than the Ancient Pine Tower.

It was around 4 or 5 degrees here. Although the master and disciple were wearing coats, they didn't appear out of place.

In the Chi Bear Paradise, it was still bustling with people.

From the moment they entered the amusement park, Du Yu could clearly feel that his master was in a much better mood.

Whether it was the unique Chi Bear cultural theme park or the children laughing and playing inside, they were indeed good remedies for a healing mood.

"Master Qing, do you want some?" Du Yu asked softly, carrying a backpack and dragging a suitcase beside the woman.

"Hmm?"

Du Yu slightly raised his head, indicating a candied haws stall on the street: "I'll get one for you."

Saying this, Du Yu had already put down his suitcase and quickly walked over.

Yang Qingqing watched the figure of her beloved disciple leave, her expression slightly helpless.

Throughout the journey, Du Yu's carefulness and consideration had not gone unnoticed by her.

Of course, Yang Qingqing knew there was a reason for all this, but she did not consider herself a weak Demon Tamer.

If it were someone else treating her like this, she would have refused from the very beginning.

She didn't need anyone's pity or sympathy, but the problem was, the other party was her disciple...

For this increasingly mature young disciple, whose values were being formed, Yang Qingqing didn't refuse his kindness.

She stood still, one hand on the suitcase handle, watching Du Yu pay with a pained expression, and couldn't help but smile a little.

It was indeed true; at this moment, Du Yu was really pained, more so than when he bought the first-class tickets!

This candied haw stick had only two hawthorns, yet it was sold for 25 yuan?

No wonder it's an amusement park!

Two hawthorns costing as much as taking a photo with the king.

But of course, Du Yu understood that what they were selling wasn't just candied haws, but a cultural theme.

The two hawthorns, one large and one small, formed the head and body of a Chi Bear.

The candied coating also shaped the Chi Bear's facial features and limbs, looking especially adorable, almost too cute to eat.

"Here you go, Master Qing." Du Yu quickly returned and handed the "Candied Panda" to the woman.

Yang Qingqing took the candied haws, her thin lips slightly parted, and without hesitation, bit off the Chi Bear's small head.

"Crunch."

Accompanied by the crisp sound of breaking sugar, Du Yu couldn't help but grimace.

This woman, what a ruthless heart!

"It's very good." Yang Qingqing smiled at Du Yu and handed the remaining half of the candied haws to him, "You try it too."

"Oh." Du Yu looked at the little Chi Bear that had lost its cute head, and suddenly found it much easier to bite...

Taking a bite, it was sweet and sour, with a good texture.

On another note, if I summon Little Tai Sui and eat this in front of him, I wonder what his reaction would be?

The two walked and watched along the way, finding it much more pleasant than Du Yu's previous visit, more like exploring an amusement park.

They walked almost half a circle around the theme park, eating snacks along the way, and finally reached the Chi Bear Culture Hall.

This was still the most crowded place, and Du Yu took half an hour to walk through the three-story Culture Hall!

Because a Chi Bear was passing under the glass walkway, visitors had stopped walking, causing the long queue to remain still for quite some time.

Such a scene, instead, made Du Yu secretly happy.

For others, seeing a Chi Bear was difficult, but he had one himself, sleeping with it every day if he wanted, where's the fairness in that~

Finally reaching the third floor and descending from another side to the first, Du Yu immediately headed towards the staff passage, finding two stationed soldiers.

Listening to Du Yu's purpose and seeing the young man with a bulging backpack and such a big suitcase, the soldiers were a bit puzzled!

Visiting family?

Are you sure you're not here for a long stay?

With Du Yu handing over his credentials, after the soldiers found his name on the visitor list, they had no choice but to take the seemingly scheming Du Yu into the underground research facility.

On the way, Du Yu didn't see Xu Yihai. After leaving a message with the soldiers, he and Master Qing climbed the stairs and emerged from the familiar "subway station entrance".

At the moment they stepped out of the door, Yang Qingqing couldn't help but stop, gazing at the beautiful bamboo grove.

Even though she had already seen a corner of Bamboo Grove from the glass walkway.

But being within it, the beautiful scene still brought her a great sense of awe.

She took a deep breath, her nose filled with the fragrance of the vegetation.

All she could see was the green Bamboo Sea, and in her ears was the gentle rustle of bamboo leaves swaying in the breeze.

Du Yu's words from two days ago still echoed beside her ears: But that Bamboo Sea is really beautiful...

Indeed, it is very beautiful.

"Master Qing?"

"Hmm." Yang Qingqing's eyes appeared slightly dazed as she responded softly.

Most people would like flowers and plants, but the degree of fondness varies. Yang Qingqing was evidently one of those who particularly loved them.

Her home, three floors in total, was completely covered with floral and demonic plants, which was the best proof.

Du Yu: "Why don't you call Xiaobai out?"

Yang Qingqing brushed her jade hand across her forehead and extended it toward Du Yu.

Bai Yujing appeared quietly, curious to see the unfamiliar scenery she had never seen before.

"Nai~" Bai Yujing was overjoyed, bouncing and hopping towards the distance.

"Come back, come back Xiaobai!" Du Yu called out, "Come back and carry me!"

Yang Qingqing: "..."

Du Yu suddenly shouted: "Don't eat! Whatever you do, don't eat!"

"Nai?" Bai Yujing sniffed the grass on the ground. Hearing this, she looked up at Du Yu and curiously tilted her head.

Little Fen Yang muttered in a low voice: "Poor Xiaobai~ following Du Yu, even grass is out of reach~"

Du Yu rolled his eyes in exasperation. You need to know where the grass grows!

Calling Xiaobai forward, Du Yu sat sideways on her back, constantly reminding her: "This is Bamboo Grove, the hometown of the Little Tai Sui.

This place is really valuable; if we damage even a blade of grass or a tree, we'll be kicked out."

"Nai."

Yang Qingqing: "Hehe~"

Du Yu looked at Master Qing in confusion: "What's up?"

Yang Qingqing relayed Bai Yujing's words: "It asks you: Is anything more valuable than me?"

Seeing Bai Yujing shaking her deer antler flower, Du Yu felt a chill on his scalp and hurriedly said: "Nothing's more valuable than you, nothing's more valuable than you..."

Du Yu was very right!

The soldiers in the control room watching the surveillance, when they saw a Dust Spirit Deer appear, their expressions were quite spectacular too!

Both the Dust Spirit Deer and the Chi Bear are equally precious and equally rare!

The difference is, the Chi Bear Race has Great Xia stopping you from making a contract.

While the Dust Spirit Deer Race, its own characteristics are at play, giving you no chance to sign at all!

"Master Qing, let's go to the Tai Sui Fire Bamboo Tribe first, then we can explore this Demon Spirit Realm," Du Yu suggested.

"Hmm." Yang Qingqing had no objections, gazing at the green bamboo sea and silently following Du Yu.

Returning here, Du Yu naturally felt right at home.

Du Yu didn't rashly visit the Tai Sui Bamboo Tribe he passed by, afraid of being turned away.

Little did he know, after passing the first Tai Sui Bamboo Tribe, news of Du Yu's return to the Bamboo Grove Realm spread rapidly across the tribes!

Before the master and disciple reached the Tai Sui Fire Bamboo Tribe, a huge Chi Bear emerged from the distant bamboo forest.

Yang Qingqing's eyes lit up, seeing for the first time a Chi Bear wearing a conical hat.

That red bamboo-leaf woven conical hat was exquisite, just like the one Du Yu gave her.

This Chi Bear was about 2 meters tall, with a round, fluffy body that should have looked adorably clumsy.

But beneath the red leaf conical hat, there was a pair of rather sharp eyes, completely transforming the Chi Bear's demeanor!

Majestic and imposing!

"Hongye?" Du Yu looked at the approaching Chi Bear, uncertainly asking.

To Yang Qingqing's surprise, this Chi Bear, who exuded a heroic aura, smiled gently, even its beastly eyes softened, "Ying~"

"Haha, long time no see!" Du Yu waved with a smile, full of joy at the reunion.

However, as the two sides got closer, Du Yu couldn't help but wonder, why had she gotten smaller?

"Ying~" Hongye's transparent Demon Soul emerged from her body, enveloping Du Yu, and immediately reporting the progress, "Du Yu, I've ascended to General Level."

"Ha?" Upon hearing this, Du Yu immediately said: "Congratulations on your..."

Before finishing his sentence, Du Yu stopped.

No way!

The Chi Bear Race grows larger the more they advance, what's going on?

Although Du Yu didn't voice his doubts, Hongye's Demon Soul enveloped him and naturally sensed the question in his heart.

Then, Hongye playfully winked at Du Yu.

In that moment, Du Yu suddenly realized.

Could it be due to awakening her Ancient Bloodline that her size changed?

Hongye reached out her bear paw, taking the suitcase from Du Yu's hand, while looking at the woman beside them.

Only then did Du Yu react, introducing: "Hongye, this is my master, Yang Qingqing."

Hearing this, Hongye clasped her bear paws together and respectfully bowed to Yang Qingqing.

Yang Qingqing had heard about Hongye before. When Du Yu last returned home, he immediately reported the happenings in the Bamboo Grove to her.

For her disciple to contract a Spirit Level Chi Bear, Yang Qingqing found it quite incredible.

But with the example of the Dust Spirit Deer, Yang Qingqing could understand why Demon Beasts favored someone of the Human Race like Du Yu.

Yang Qingqing politely returned the bow, watching Hongye lift the suitcase, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Hongye has a really good personality.

Other powerful Demon Pets seldom willingly do menial tasks.

Or, this Chi Bear has a great relationship with Du Yu and willingly does so.

She inquired: "What were you congratulating it for just now?"

Du Yu: "Hongye ascended, to General Level."

Yang Qingqing was slightly taken aback; this Chi Bear had reached Demon General Level?

And yet it's helping you carry a suitcase?

Du Yu looked at the figure leading the way ahead and laughed: "Now, your title of first on the Spirit List is gone."

Hongye's Demon Soul still enveloped Du Yu: "Yes. Unfortunately, General Level can't compete in the battles, there's no ranking for it."

Du Yu's heart skipped a beat: "Right, last time I was here, I asked about the competition. You said it was in 5 months?"

Hongye: "The grand contest of the tribewise martial arts is early next month, Master... Well, if you stay a bit longer, you can watch."

Du Yu felt a great joy, not paying attention to the latter part of the sentence.

He turned to look at the woman beside him: "Master Qing, the Chi Bear Tribe holds two grand contests a year, and the new one is about to start!"

Yang Qingqing nodded lightly, also piqued with interest.

Hongye: "Currently, the strong from various tribes are preparing intensely. If you want to watch, I can take you to see."

"Great! But let's settle down first. By the way, is the Red Bamboo Courtyard still there?"

Hongye nodded: "Ying~"
