"Mmm, mmm..." In the pitch-dark hotel room, the young man lying on the bed made unconscious nasal sounds.

Du Yu gradually awakened, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, feeling somewhat confused.

Where is this place?

"Du Yu Du Yu~ You're awake!"

"Mm." Du Yu propped himself up on the bed, looking at the somewhat familiar nightstand control panel, he casually turned on the bedside lamp.

Am I in a hotel?

Du Yu's mind was a bit muddled as he looked at the date on the electronic clock on the cabinet: May 21st.

He was on the night of the 12th, practicing at Mountain Fire Saber with Master Qing.

How did it become the 21st in the blink of an eye... Oh, right!

I was welcoming the Celestial Fire under Mountain Fire Saber.

Du Yu got out of bed and stepped to the window, gripping the curtains with both hands and pulling them open.

In an instant, the firelight filled the entire dark room.

Du Yu opened his mouth slightly, in the far distance, atop the mountain peak, stood a giant blade that burned fiercely.

It seems this is the Demon Pet Center·Hotel Department outside the Mountain Fire Blade Realm.

"You're really a sleeper." Beside him, a petite figure floated out.

Her big orange-red eyes curiously looked at Du Yu's profile: "I wanted to wake you up, but Sister Ta wouldn't let me~"

"Ugh." Du Yu held his head with one hand, feeling a bit confused and bewildered.

He had no concept of how long the Celestial Punishment lasted, or how long he had stayed under Mountain Fire Saber.

Being in a high-temperature, oxygen-deficient environment for a long time made Du Yu's consciousness somewhat blurred.

And under the constant torment of Celestial Punishment, Du Yu's physical and mental levels were continuously battered; he didn't even know when he lost consciousness.

It's as if his life had been forcibly erased for many days.

This feeling was awful!

If I hadn't woken up, would my life have passed by so muddle-headedly?

And I wouldn't have had the space to react, no despair, no unwillingness, no emotions at all...

"Master Qing." Du Yu pressed his hands on the window sill, gazing at the distant Mountain Fire Saber, suddenly uttering a name.

She must have brought me back.

Thinking of this, Du Yu's expression became somewhat complex.

No wonder Fu Jianzhou and Li Jing held Master Qing in such high regard, loyal and devoted.

The two senior brothers must have experienced all of this.

The feeling of powerlessness to resist Celestial Punishment becomes more fearful the more one thinks about it.

Our hope can only be entrusted to her.

And when Celestial Punishment takes away our consciousness, when we open our eyes again, this sense of rebirth after the disaster, all is built upon gratitude to Master Qing.

Nothing to return, only loyalty until death?

"Ugh." Du Yu held his forehead with one hand, at this moment he finally connected with the joys and sorrows of the two senior brothers.

Little Fen Yang looked at Du Yu curiously, responding: "Aunt Qingqing went under Mountain Fire Saber, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, my head is a mess." Du Yu wiped his face vigorously, "My thoughts and emotions have changed, I've never been this sensitive before."

"Because you have a Demon Soul~"

"Demon Soul?" Du Yu slowly lowered his hand, "On the road to becoming a God or Saint, shouldn't people become increasingly indifferent, until they're emotionless, ultimately forgetting their passions?"

"Silly Du Yu~ How could coldness set in!"

"Huh? But Senior Feng lost his stage because he was too passionate, leading to being entangled in mundane affairs and unstable mindset?"

Little Fen Yang floated in front of Du Yu's face, her big orange-red eyes looking at him: "He just misplaced his passion."

Du Yu: "Passion?"

Little Fen Yang's little face was full of seriousness: "The upward path has never been about extinguishing the emotions of all living things.

On the contrary, it's about amplifying your emotions."

Du Yu frowned deeply, feeling very puzzled.

Little Fen Yang reached out her small hand and patted Du Yu's forehead: "You will perceive the world more deeply and will be more able to experience the joys and sorrows of every flower and tree.

However, the road upward becomes increasingly narrow.

In the end, the full emotions of all living things can only be compressed on this narrow path, turning into a fierce, singular desire for strength to continue upwards.

They are not indifferent, but have dedicated everything to cultivation."

Du Yu was silent for a while, nodding silently.

So, although my understanding was wrong, the final outcome is the same.

Little Fen Yang: "Most living beings in the world can only compensate for their lack of talent through focus."

Du Yu's heart stirred: "Lack of talent?"

"Silly Du Yu~" Little Fen Yang giggled, "Do you think I am cold-hearted?"

Du Yu shook his head decisively: "Of course not."

Little Fen Yang blinked: "That's right! We don't need to, like other Demon Tamers, cast aside everything and only focus on cultivation.

Let me tell you, my talent is super high~"

Du Yu: "..."

If you are the standard, there might not be many creatures in this world qualified in talent?

Little Fen Yang muttered in a low voice: "Besides, you're just a little Demon Tamer, just gathered a Demon Soul, and you're comparing it with the mindset of a Demon Taming Saint... clueless.

Du Yu's expression turned slightly awkward: "I have learned."

Little Fen Yang's words were entirely deserving of Du Yu's three-word response.

"Come on, I'll take you to visit Sister Ta." Little Fen Yang dived into Du Yu's embrace.

Visit Sister Ta?

Why does that sound a little odd...

"Come on, come on!" A mysterious Little Black Gold Bird quietly appeared in the Yutang Acupoint, looking at the floating Little Du Yu.

At the window sill, Du Yu closed his eyes tightly, self-taught.

Inside Yutang Acupoint, Little Du Yu slowly opened his eyes, he lowered his head, looked at his body, trying to clench his phantom fist.

"Chirp~"

Suddenly, a long, graceful bird cry rang out.

"Wow!" Demon Soul Du Yu let out a soft exclamation, as his ethereal body was wrapped by the interwoven black and gold tail feathers, flying out from the Forehead Acupoint.

At this moment, Du Yu's mind was blank.

He had always viewed the inside of his body from a god's perspective, but for the first time, he walked through the body's veins from a first-person perspective.

The inner body was filled with the extremely hot Fire Demon Breath, yet Du Yu did not feel tormented; instead, he felt exceptionally comfortable.

Layer upon layer of flames spread, under the surging heat waves, the veins seemed like a time-space tunnel, guiding Little Golden Crow and Little Du Yu.

"Chirp~"

Du Yu's heart moved slightly, seemingly understanding her words: "Well~ Sister Ta."

The flames in front of him dispersed slowly like mist.

Inside the Spirit Ruins Acupoint, there was a world of fiery red, with only an ancient-looking treasure tower standing among it.

Du Yu was wrapped in the tail by Little Golden Crow, flying around the exquisite Shadow Gu Tower once, before falling in front of the tower.

"Eh? Where is Sister Ta?" Little Golden Crow transformed into human form, quickly came to the tower door, and curiously peeped inside, holding onto the door frame with one hand.

Du Yu looked up at the sky, knowing well that this was his Spirit Ruins Acupoint, but against the backdrop of endless fire clouds, he always felt he had arrived in anotherworld...

In front of the giant tower door, a woman of black mist appeared quietly.

She slightly bent her knees, holding her knee with one hand, and gently patted Little Fen Yang's head with the other.

On her black mist-like face, seemingly appeared a slightly indulgent smile.

Is this the Ancient Artifact Spirit?

She clearly looked more like the big sister next door.

Although this big sister had black stockings over her head, resembling a fierce bandit robbing a bank, it did not hinder her expression of goodwill...

"Look, whom I brought!" Little Fen Yang exclaimed joyfully.

The woman of black mist raised her head slightly, then stood upright, nodding to Du Yu outside the tower, "Master."

"You, uh, hello." Du Yu attempted to move forward, but floated away.

The Shadow Gu Tower suddenly raised its hand, pressed against Du Yu's chest, stopping him from entering the tower.

"The Mountain Giant and Heaven Returning Wood are still undergoing punishment." Shadow Gu Tower gently pushed, sending Du Yu out before the door, "You better not come in."

Du Yu: "..."

The king within his own body, yet was refused?

"Alright." Du Yu dared not say anything, he habitually scratched his head, the action was standard, but felt like he didn't scratch anything?

Shadow Gu Tower bent its knees again, looking down at Little Fen Yang, "Take the master to renew the contract."

"Okay~" Little Fen Yang was very obedient, turned around and left.

As she passed by Du Yu's side, her petite body suddenly transformed into a Little Golden Crow, with interwoven black and gold tail feathers also wrapping Du Yu's body.

"Oh!" Du Yu rose into the sky again, cloud-riding and mist-walking, the towering Shadow Gu Tower becoming more distant.

At the door, the woman of black mist was still waving goodbye.

Du Yu: "Where are we going?"

Little Fen Yang: "Just follow me!"

Du Yu: "..."

It's very odd!

The king couldn't order Little Fen Yang, yet she was happy to listen to the Shadow Gu Tower?

Is outward appearance really that important?

"Huh?" Inside the Sea of Qi Acupoint, Xiaoyan perked up her ears, raising her furry head.

Sure enough, one crow and one person barged in.

"Huh!" Xiaoyan joyfully wagged her tail, looking at the master entering her realm.

"You are so big!" Du Yu floated in front of Xiaoyan, looking at the fire fox as tall as himself, feeling a bit unaccustomed.

In Xiaoyan's pair of golden-brown fox eyes, there was a shimmering smile, as she nudged her head over: "Master."

What a lovely voice!

Du Yu embraced Prince Yan's furry head, completely bewildered.

Clearly holding a fox, yet as if embracing a world.

Her emotions, her thoughts, even her entire fox life...

The Shadow Gu Tower touched me just then, why didn't I feel its world?

"Master?"

"Ah... ah!" Du Yu appeared silly, looking into the fox eyes before him.

The two parties always had a contract connection, whenever Xiaoyan conveyed messages, her thoughts would directly imprint in Du Yu's mind.

He had never heard Xiaoyan's voice with his own ears.

Goodness~

Prince Yan's voice was too captivating!

Extremely magnetic, carrying an indescribable lazy tone; it was simply enchanting.

"If Mengnan heard your voice, she might be charmed to death."

"Huh~"

"Yes, you better keep making that cute sound; otherwise, I'm overwhelmed..."

"Huh!"

"Haha~" Little Fen Yang sat on Xiaoyan, "Let's renew the contract."

Du Yu: "Renew the contract? But I'm not a Great Demon Tamer yet."

Little Fen Yang: "Others wait until they are Great Demon Tamers to renew, because only after upgrading do they possess Demon Souls.

We can renew now.

After renewing the contract, you can wield Xiaoyan's Demon Skill!"

Du Yu's eyes suddenly brightened, and in the outlined phantom lines, an orange-red layer emerged.

Little Fen Yang was delighted, the orange-red eyes especially blazing hot.

Indeed, Du Yu could do it!

It should be known that every Demon Tamer's Demon Soul in the world is ethereal, without any color.

Similarly, the Demon Souls of Demon Beasts are the same.

However, now, Du Yu's Demon Soul eyes have been tinted with specks of color.

The beautiful orange-red, identical to Little Fen Yang's eye color...
