"Hehe~ Du Yu is so fierce."
Hearing Little Fen Yang's delicate laughter in his mind, Du Yu felt a bit embarrassed.
He responded, "I have to be fierce, right? This big cat is so disobedient?"
Through Du Yu's eyes, Little Fen Yang looked at the silver lynx: "This big cat is so pretty~ So big, soft, and fluffy, we can take it home as a mattress."
Du Yu: "..."
Truly worthy of being the Ancient Golden Crow, what a class act!
Speaks to my heart~
Du Yu: "In a bit, I'll communicate with it. Little Fen Yang, help me with the translation."
"Sure~"
With that response, Du Yu looked again at the hesitating silver lynx: "Come here."
The silver lynx's eyes shifted repeatedly, gazing at the orange juice bow flowing with magma in Du Yu's hand.
Eventually, it succumbed to Prince Du's oppressive might and cautiously came over.
To the silver lynx, this orange juice bow was like a nightmare!
Including the fox on Du Yu's shoulder, and the deer behind him, all of these made the silver lynx uneasy.
This combination had speed, control, and terrifying damage output!
Really disgusting...
Actually, it was okay in terms of speed; the silver lynx didn't think the deer could catch up to it.
The problem was this human youth's reaction speed and control methods, which were genuinely remarkable!
Up till now, the silver lynx still hadn't figured out how this human could keep up with its rhythm.
"Hand." Du Yu reached out his right hand and beckoned to the silver lynx.
"Lur..." The silver lynx didn't understand Du Yu's meaning, but could mostly guess it.
Instead of its paw, it offered its long tail, placing it in Du Yu's palm.
In Du Yu's palm, Little Fen Yang's tiny palm quietly appeared.
Du Yu was still enjoying, while behind him, Li Mengnan was secretly astonished.
You know, the silver lynx's long tail was over two meters long, longer than Du Yu himself!
Its girth was not something Du Yu could grip with one hand.
So much so that Du Yu's hand was completely buried in the silver fur.
Ferocious beast, tiny human.
Such a scene made Li Mengnan secretly anxious, fearing the silver lynx would suddenly rage and swipe Du Yu into pieces with its tail!
"Meow!!!"
The silver lynx suddenly let out a sharp cry, and Li Mengnan's heart jumped into her throat.
The big cat seemed startled, diving its front half low and stepping back several meters in retreat!
Li Mengnan: ???
Lin Shiwei was also a bit dazed; shouldn't the one frightened and retreating in panic be Du Yu?
What was wrong with this Spirit-level Divine Beast, so scared to this extent?
Du Yu was equally puzzled, asking in his mind, "What's wrong, Little Fen Yang?"
Little Fen Yang giggled, "I was fierce too, really fierce, scared her so she wouldn't dare hurt you again."
"Uh... thanks."
Little Fen Yang: "She's a queen of the lynx tribe. I felt she reveres strength as the supreme.
If you want to take her home as a mattress, maybe we should change our approach."
Du Yu: "Like what?"
Little Fen Yang: "Show her our strength, make her submit~"
Little Fen Yang's judgment was very accurate!
At this moment, the silver lynx retreated slowly, shocked and frightened!
Could it be that within this tiny human, there's such an immensely powerful being hidden!?
Or, using the term "Divine Spirit" might be more fitting.
The silver lynx's gaze upon Du Yu changed completely.
This human's body remained small, seemingly frail, but behind him, it was as if a sky full of roaring flames burned fiercely!
In a terrifying world of natural disaster, a gigantic Golden Crow spread its enormous wings, seemingly endless, covering the sky and the sun!
What... what is this?
Why do I see these things?
Was it this Divine Spirit communicating with me through the Demon Soul just now?
"Um." Little Fen Yang looked at the big cat with frightened eyes and muttered softly, "I might have been too fierce, scared her too much."
Du Yu was filled with confusion, finding it hard to imagine what it would look like when the cute and soft Little Fen Yang got fierce.
No matter how fierce, isn't she just an orange-eyed little girl?
Little Fen Yang: "Silly Du Yu, you'd better grow up quickly and find me Demon Fire soon."
Du Yu: "Ah, I've been trying to grow up... uh, trying to become stronger. Why did you suddenly mention this?"
Little Fen Yang murmured softly: "The scene I showed the big cat was my state at full strength.
If she discovers she's been tricked later, it'll be interesting then!"
Du Yu smiled, "That's not really a trick; you rightly should have that power, just temporarily restrained. Besides, even now, we can handle her."
"You're right."
Du Yu curiously asked, "What were you like at your peak? I haven't seen it."
"Hmph~ Not showing you."
"Why not?"
"What if I scare you badly?"
Du Yu: ???
Am I so fragile in your eyes?
"Du Yu?" Suddenly, Li Mengnan's voice came from behind, "Wake up, stop daydreaming! What are you doing?"
"Ah, I'm communicating with the big cat, through the Shadow Gu Tower." Du Yu immediately snapped back, speaking off the cuff.
When it comes to protecting Little Fen Yang, Du Yu's actions were already subconscious.
And to explain everything Little Fen Yang brought, the Shadow Gu Tower had taken too much blame over such a long time...
Du Yu looked at the silver big cat and beckoned again, "What are you hiding from? Come over here, let's chat!"
Compared to last time, the wariness in the silver lynx's eyes deepened a bit.
Du Yu grabbed the hesitant silver tail and gave it a tug backwards.
"Lur..."
Little Fen Yang: "Go ahead, I'll relay it."
Du Yu: "Ask her if she's willing to come with us."
Little Fen Yang: "As I said before, she reveres strength as supreme; you should be more domineering!"
Du Yu scratched his head, being overbearing?
This King thinks you look pretty good, pack your things, and come back to the Prince's Mansion with me?
That's not something people would say!
"Oh? This big cat has quite a personality."
Du Yu: "What?"
Little Fen Yang said with interest: "Even though she's very scared, she's not convinced~"
Du Yu looked into the lynx's beast eyes and said: "What are you not convinced about? Didn't I beat you so badly that you meowed last night?"
"Loo~"
Little Fen Yang: "The big cat thinks you didn't win honorably, you had a lot of help."
Du Yu almost burst out laughing in anger.
Isn't this obvious!
I'm a Demon Tamer; my Demon Pet is part of my strength. If I don't rely on my Demon Pet, what should I rely on?
I'm not a Spirit Master who can cast spells on my own... uh, wait! Am I actually a Spirit Master?
"Hehe~" Little Fen Yang suddenly giggled, "I scared her a bit, and now she's much more polite!
But she's really stubborn; this big cat is so fun."
"Ha~" Du Yu made a strange nasal sound, just like a villager in Minecraft.
Respecting strength, that's interesting.
It seems conquering the big cat will be a long process.
Since it's a wild Spirit-level Demon Beast, and also a Heterochromatic Demon Beast, it's naturally worth putting in some energy and effort.
"Snap~" Du Yu snapped his fingers, "How about this."
As he spoke, Du Yu tugged on the silver big cat's tail, pulling it back a bit.
"Loo!" The silver lynx bared its teeth, looking at Du Yu with displeasure, but not daring to fight back.
In fact, with a flick of its tail, it could easily throw Du Yu off the mountain peak...
Du Yu: "Ghost Firefly, go pick two Sandstone Fruits for me."
"Ooh!" Little You Ying hugged a big torch and hopped off towards the distance.
Du Yu pointed to a distant Sandstone Fruit Tree and said to the silver lynx: "Yesterday afternoon, there were no fruits on this tree, but now it's full.
From now on, you can settle here.
You and your kin won't need to hunt everywhere; just guard this territory, and you'll have delicious fruits to eat every day."
Silver Lynx: "Meow?"
Du Yu grasped the silver tail with his right hand and, while Little Fen Yang translated, took the fruits Little You Ying handed over.
He casually tossed a Sandstone Fruit into Little You Ying's torch head.
Even though Sandstone Fruits are Earth Element fruits, eating them occasionally as snacks is still okay.
"Ooh~" Little You Ying happily bounced around Du Yu, then ran off to find the Wind Witch.
The silver lynx watched the frolicking Demon Pet and, although it didn't know what Little You Ying was, its happy state didn't seem fake.
It seems this little one gets along very well and lives happily with the young human in front of him?
Du Yu picked up a Sandstone Fruit, holding it to the silver lynx's mouth.
"Loo?" The silver lynx raised its eyelids, its slit pupils locked onto Du Yu.
Du Yu showed a kind smile on his face: "Try it, you're an Earth Element Demon Beast, you must like it."
Silver Lynx: "..."
I've hunted all my life in Thousand Blade Mountain, don't you think I know what a Sandstone Fruit is?
Thinking this in its heart, but seeing Du Yu's friendly demeanor, the silver lynx hesitated for a moment but still slightly lowered its head to take the fruit.
Earth Element fruit, with Earth Element Demon Beast, perfect match!
Watching the big cat devour the fruit, Du Yu stepped forward and finally placed his palm on its head.
The silver lynx's body stiffened slightly but didn't make any further movements.
Du Yu rubbed its head, feeling only two words in his heart: comfortable~
Is this the feeling of petting a cat?
Since arriving in this world, Du Yu has petted a fox, a deer, and even a panda.
Each species feels different to pet.
As Du Yu enjoyed the pleasure of petting the cat, he said, "The territory here is big enough, food is plentiful, and you can enjoy the feeling of having all living things under your feet.
Respecting strength, you like this, right?"
With Little Fen Yang's help communicating, the silver lynx turned to look at Du Yu, silent.
Du Yu: "Well, I'll often come climbing the mountain in the future, and each time I'll beat you until you meow."
"Meow?"
Du Yu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, just like that until you're subdued, how about it?"
"Meow!"
Little Fen Yang: "She said you only won because of Xiaoyan and Xiaobai, and I helped you too."
"Then let's give it a try." Du Yu patted the silver big cat's head, "Once you're defeated, you'll be my mattress, okay?"
"Meow!" The silver lynx looked at Du Yu full of defiance.
Little Fen Yang: "If you lose, the big cat will use you as a cushion too.
Hehe~ It seems scaring her is working, at least she's not daring to say she'll eat you."
Du Yu nodded: "It's a deal!"
Actually, Du Yu knew in his heart that without the help of his Demon Pets, it would be hard to win.
But to be a mattress for the big cat?
That would be great!
I've been worrying about not having a chance to build a bond with a wild Divine Beast, and now the opportunity is here~
You may think you are gaining, but this King is definitely not losing!
Previously, regarding making a contract with a wild Spirit-level Divine Beast, my third sister mentioned "two unlesses."
The other party should preferably be highly intelligent, able to use reason to suppress wildness and nature.
And through the previous exchange, Du Yu was very certain that this silver lynx is quite intelligent!
The second "unless" is for there to be a story between the human and the Demon Beast that is so deeply bonding that their ties run deep.
How can Du Yu share a profound story with the silver lynx?
It can only be a case of quantity leading to quality.
Making it meow the first time didn't seem deep enough.
But making it meow the hundredth time? The thousandth time? Surely there will come a time when it is memorable?
Hmm... not bad!
A great bond indeed!
I can exercise by climbing the mountain, and there's even a dedicated sparring partner up here to hone my combat skills, and if I lose, I get to be a cushion for them.
In the future, this will surely become a famous tale...
