Question: If you have a beautiful island, a perfect haven isolated from the world, how would you renovate it?

Du Yu's answer is... make money first!

Finally back home for vacation, Du Yu's thoughts gradually drifted away from tasks.

Returning to his familiar home, he realized it was already June 28th, and the new ranking season was about to start!

The next morning, after feeding all the Demon Pets, he picked a Firethorn Fruit and returned to the bedroom to change clothes and go to the Great Xia Bookstore.

"Tsk." Du Yu stood in front of the wardrobe, looking at the fruit in his hand, smacking his lips.

The Firethorn Fruit was already ripe.

So red and see-through, you couldn't see through it any more!

It looked extremely delicious, but Du Yu could imagine the taste inside.

"I'm afraid it'll kill me with its sourness." Du Yu was troubled, suddenly feeling reluctant to eat it.

Yesterday afternoon, when he took the Firethorn to the Sea Realm to see the new home, he noticed a bunch of ripe fruits on it.

Worth mentioning, the Firethorn Tree didn't stay in the Sea Realm but insisted on following Du Yu back home.

After all, the Shatang Tree's wood and water Demon Breath were quite strong; the Firethorn Tree didn't quite like it there.

Back at Prince Du's Mansion, the Firethorn might need to "keep its head down," but at least it could feel dominant in its nest.

Whereas staying beside Shatang, the Firethorn truly couldn't act bossy, not even as much as the Desolate Silver Lynx.

After all, Lord Baojun once knocked Du Yu straight to the ground in front of the Shatang Tree, couldn't be stopped.

"Shasha~"

Golden leaves swayed, drawing out a set of black sportswear from the wardrobe, presenting it to Du Yu.

This Humble One, Xiao Ye clearly misunderstood the situation, thinking his owner stood in front of the wardrobe for so long because he didn't want to pick clothes himself.

"Oh, thank you." Du Yu came back to reality but didn't take the clothes. Instead, he called out in his mind, "Little Fen Yang?"

"Hm." In his mind, a drowsy voice from the little one, still sounding not fully awake.

"I knew it! Almost ate for nothing again." Du Yu picked up the Firethorn Fruit, muttering, "I'm giving you the fruit, wake up and taste it."

"Okay~" The freshly woken Little Fen Yang responded softly, sounding quite obedient.

Admittedly, when she doesn't say "Du Yu is so weak," she's rather cute.

Du Yu stuffed the Firethorn Fruit into his mouth, took a bite, and the juice exploded enticingly.

The sourness brought tears to Du Yu's eyes, while Little Fen Yang happily exclaimed, "So delicious~"

"Alright then." Du Yu grinned; as long as you can taste it, it wasn't in vain for me.

He quickly dressed and walked out of the bedroom.

In the living room, the Desolate Silver Lynx lay lazily on the couch, watching TV.

Xiaoyan leaned against her, using her tail tip to flip through TV channels with the remote.

One Baojun and one Princess Consort Yan.

The scene looked quite harmonious?

Just missing a servant attending them.

Time to get a phone for both pets, and save the macho brother's phone number inside.

Hmm... simply perfect!

"Come, Xiaoyan, let's rack up some points!" Du Yu waved.

"Oh?" Xiaoyan blinked her fox eyes, handed the remote to the Desolate Silver Lynx's face with her two tails, and with another tail leaning against the couch, she shot out straight away.

"Meow." Baojun also looked at Du Yu, with an unhappy expression.

Du Yu hugged the rushing Xiaoyan, laughed, and said, "You can't participate in the ranking, just relax at home."

The Desolate Silver Lynx silently watched Du Yu, without saying a word.

Du Yu placed Xiaoyan on his shoulder and strode ahead.

Using both hands, he powerfully rubbed the big cat's head, "I'm not going on a mission, you can come with me if you want. I'll take you into the Sea Realm?"

"Meow~" Du Yu's hands seemed to have magic; within a few rubs, the Desolate Silver Lynx's voice softened.

"Heh." Watching Lord Baojun indulge in the enjoyment, Du Yu chuckled, "You better stay home and watch TV; I'll be back soon."

"Hmm." The Desolate Silver Lynx responded softly, a long tail reaching towards Du Yu's face.

Du Yu's response was instinctive.

He held the long tail, and his lips gently pressed against the soft silver fur.

Until after kissing, only then did Du Yu realize he didn't seem to be kissing Xiaoyan?

Wow~

Learning good is hard, slipping into bad is easy!

Previously, the Desolate Silver Lynx didn't have such actions or even thoughts.

No doubt, she saw the interaction between Du Yu and Xiaoyan during breakfast.

Hmm...

Alright, I've kissed three fox tails, might as well kiss a cat tail too.

Du Yu was still pondering when the long tail in his palm suddenly pushed him away.

"Hey?" Du Yu stepped back a few steps, seeing the Desolate Silver Lynx watching the TV screen, seemingly annoyed that Du Yu was blocking her view.

Du Yu rolled his eyes, indeed, she flipped and didn't recognize him~

"Brother Tree, you and Foolish Monarch take good care of the house, absolutely no fighting," Du Yu said as he walked towards the door.

Along the way, Firethorn Branches swayed from side to side, waving goodbye.

Until Du Yu arrived at the elevator, a branch helped call the elevator before retracting.

In the empty elevator, Du Yu hadn't even caught his breath when the tail on his neck tightened slightly.

"What's wrong?" Du Yu held onto the fiery-red long tail, turning his head to look at his face.

"Oh~" Xiaoyan's eyes were full of displeasure, her fiery-red long tail reaching Du Yu's mouth.

Du Yu: "..."

"Okay, okay." Du Yu held the fiery-red fox tail, resigned himself, and lowered his head.

I mean, what choice do I have!

For one's own Demon Pet, you indulge them~

After all, counting on the first place in the Celestial List to make money... uh, no, counting on her to achieve good results and bravely climb the Demon Taming pinnacle!

...

Twenty minutes later, Du Yu drove to the Ancient Pine Tower Bookstore headquarters.

He had already made an appointment with Wang Zongying yesterday, but unfortunately, there were already several Demon Tamers waiting in line ahead.

Since it's the end of the month, many people come to push for rankings.

Others come to push rankings, but Du Yu... just calls it racking up points.

Whether it was Xiaoyan or Little You Ying, they sat steadily on the throne of first and second place!

As long as Prince Yan does not ascend to Spirit Level, all demons are merely subjects!

Interestingly, it's Little Tai Sui's first time participating in the bookstore ranking competition, and among the top 100 list, there are various Demon Pets, yet notably absent are the Chi Bear Race.

Once Tai Sui makes it onto the list, more people in the Ancient Pine Tower region will know about the appearance of a Chi Bear.

"Come on, Xiaodu, it's your turn." Wang Zongying appeared at the entrance of the training hall, waving with a smile.

"Coming!" Du Yu quickly walked over. He had been waiting for over an hour, and the Demon Tamers lining up in the corridor mostly recognized his identity.

Luckily, these Demon Tamers were quite proud; none came up asking for autographs or photos.

But Du Yu couldn't quite handle their gazes; it was as if they all considered him a hypothetical enemy.

In fact, Wang Zongying wanted to arrange for Du Yu to skip the queue.

Honestly, if Du Yu hadn't joined the Great Xia Bookstore·Twenty-Ninth Bureau, he would have gone in with his head down long ago.

The work credentials in his pocket constantly reminded Du Yu: have some dignity!

Hmm...

Xiaoyan and Little You Ying's tests went smoothly, the two little ones had participated in multiple assessments and were well acquainted with the process.

Du Yu even believed that Xiaoyan didn't exert her full strength!

In previous assessments, after the endurance test, Xiaoyan would pant like a dog.

But this time, she leaped off the treadmill still as elegant as a fox~

About this, Du Yu didn't say anything.

After all, when Xiaoyan was in the Great Success Stage, she steadily held first place, and now with the foundation points of the Peak Stage added, other Demon Pets could only eat dust.

Proof of this, Little You Ying indeed ate dust.

It tried its very best to chase Sister Xiaoyan, yet still couldn't keep up.

For this, Xiaoyan even lovingly comforted Little You Ying.

Interestingly, Little You Ying wasn't upset at all!

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" Little You Ying waved a large torch, circling around the little sister, congratulating her for retaining the throne of first place.

Du Yu felt odd; the little one indeed congratulated Xiaoyan, but what it seemed to be shouting sounded like "Du Yu"?

"Well-trained in Demon Taming, Xiaodu." Wang Zongying said with a smile.

"The two have grown up together since childhood, their bond is strong." Du Yu was quite humble.

"Do you have other Demon Pets in the rankings?" Wang Zongying asked even though he knew the answer, and eagerly anticipated the appearance of Chi Bear!

At least before Du Yu joined the Great Xia Bookstore, he fully understood Du Yu's background.

But since April, Du Yu's records were pulled out by the bookstore's internal·Twenty-Ninth Bureau.

Wang Zongying was also very aware, standing before him, little Xiaodu was no longer an ordinary student.

Witnessing a child rising rapidly is indeed a wondrous experience.

"Go, Tai Sui!" With a surge of Demon Breath before Du Yu's forehead, a little fatty fell from above.

"Woo!" Little Tai Sui stood with hands on hips, looking up and roaring like a bear.

Tai Sui knew through the Contract that it was about to display its prowess. At this moment, it could hardly wait!

"Exactly, that's the kind of momentum we need!" Du Yu patted Tai Sui's head, "Let's aim for the top ten!"

"No problem!" Little Tai Sui nodded heavily, suddenly pulling out a Bamboo Stick.

With a fierce face, Little Tai Sui looked toward the staff present: "Tell me, Master! Who do we fight?"

"No, we're not fighting anyone." Du Yu was startled, hurriedly bending down to hold the little one's head, afraid it might initiate Chi Bear Charge.

"Hehe~" Suddenly, the laughter of Little Fen Yang echoed in his mind.

After explaining for quite a while, only then did Little Tai Sui reluctantly put away the Bamboo Stick.

With its little bear paws scratching its head, the clumsy look almost melted one of the female colleagues...

Under Wang Zongying's call, Little Tai Sui happily trotted over.

"Charge, Tai Sui!" Du Yu clenched his fist, mind adding another note: For the ten thousand bucks!

Building the island home, urgently requires funding support!

Unfortunately, due to various restrictions, Bai Yujing and Desolate Silver Lynx couldn't participate in the evaluation.

Otherwise, this Prince would definitely fleece the Great Xia Bookstore dry!

"Buzz... Buzz..."

Suddenly, a vibration came from his pocket, prompting Du Yu to immediately pull out his phone.

As someone waiting for a call at any time, the bureau had clear requirements for him: 24-hour non-stop connection, communication must be maintained.

"Master Qing."

"Why aren't you at home?" A familiar woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm here at the bookstore, taking Little Tai Sui for an evaluation."

"Okay." At Prince Du's Mansion, Yang Qingqing was sitting on the living room sofa, leaning against the Desolate Silver Lynx, her hand stroking the lynx's silver fur.

Unexpectedly, Baojun did not refuse.

Evidently, the Desolate Silver Lynx remembered the promise beneath Lanyin Mountain with its owner.

It could be quite unruly, even occasionally bullying its owner, but towards Du Yu's mentor, it allowed no disrespect.

Of course, Yang Qingqing was also very kind, which was one reason for Desolate Silver Lynx's relative tameness.

"Master Qing, do we have a new mission?"

"No, I need to go out."

"You've rested for less than a day, where are you heading?"

Yang Qingqing kneaded the pads under Baojun's paw, softly saying: "Mountain Fire Saber."

"Then when will you be back..." Du Yu paused, realizing there was no need for Master Qing to report back to him.

She called because Driver Fu retired, and he was now honorably on duty!

"Master Qing, wait a moment. I'll be back after the evaluation, in no more than an hour."

Yang Qingqing looked toward the living room wall, following the woman's gaze, the Firethorn Leaves quickly spread open, revealing a round clock.

"No rush, evaluate well." She hung up and looked at the TV.

The screen's content was somewhat gory, with several wolves sharing a stag.

"You like watching this?"

"Yes."

Yang Qingqing smiled: "Since returning with Du Yu, you haven't hunted again, have you?"

Desolate Silver Lynx's voice was rustling, exuding a special charm, leading the woman to think of vast desert sands: "There will be opportunities."

"What?"

"He will always have enemies."
