I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 639 - 454 Cyan Sect, coming to recruit...

The sea realm's sky was as clear as washed jade, and serenity and peace reigned over the mansion.

Not knowing when it began, the lingering melody of a flute drifted up from beneath the Shatang Tree, echoing across the island.

The beautiful flute music only made the island seem even more tranquil.

It carried a certain feeling—like "the cicadas' song makes the woods feel quieter still."

No one found the flute tune annoying, as it carried a touch of calming magic to soothe the mind and ease sleep.

In the West Wing of Shatang Courtyard, Lin Shiwei lay on her side upon the bed, watching the little lion cub tumble and frolic before her.

"Awuu~" The naughty little lion suddenly changed its demeanor.

The flute's melody entered its ears, making it open its mouth wide again: "Aaah~"

The tiny lion cub... actually yawned?

Lin Shiwei watched the adorable little thing with amused interest.

The little lion rubbed its face with its tiny paws, snuggled into the girl's arms, and kept pressing its furry little head affectionately against her.

Really quite like Prince Yan in the old days, isn't it?

Mm... so good at finding a bed~

All the hostility had long since faded from Lin Shiwei—this small, cute creature had become the perfect cure for the tempest in her heart.

She gently patted the cub's back, watching the little thing gradually drift off.

Slowly, Lin Shiwei also closed her beautiful eyes and slipped into a dream.

She wasn't the only one—the whole Cyan Sect, after relentless battle, finally let down their taut nerves.

And under the West Xia's Flute's melodious peace, they too fell asleep one by one.

No one knew how much time passed...

Beneath the Shatang Tree, Fu Jianzhou suddenly lifted his eyelids, and the flute music stopped abruptly.

He stared dumbly ahead, gazing at that dreamy, celestial blue in the northern sky.

"So beautiful." The flawless features of Bai Lan appeared across Fu Jianzhou's face.

The woman's illusory eyes were full of wonder.

When a living creature grows large enough, it inevitably inspires awe in all who see it.

Such a colossal being drifted slowly across the sky, gradually approaching Shatang Mansion.

A pair of celestial-blue Dragon Eyes silently gazed at the tiny humans below.

Fu Jianzhou's heart clenched—he felt as if he were undergoing a silent trial.

It was as if a true Divine had descended to earth, observing the weak and humble lives below.

"Swish~" The Shatang Tree reached out its branches toward the heavens.

The Celestial Cyan Porcelain glanced coldly down at the human race beneath the tree.

Not only was this man a stranger, he had taken up her rightful place.

"My master is over there, beneath the Firethorn Tree." Shatang sent a message to Celestial Cyan Porcelain, averting a looming disaster.

The Celestial Cyan Porcelain gave the ground one last glacial look, but was surprisingly honest, and slowly descended toward the Firethorn Courtyard.

"Gulp." Fu Jianzhou's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

He felt the pressure of an Ancient Demon Saint.

Even as a Demon Taming General, he could only cower in fear.

"Jianzhou, let's go have a look." Bai Lan, though, seemed not to register any of it.

Her eyes were fixed dreamily on the falling Celestial Cyan Porcelain.

In the past, Bai Lan had journeyed far and wide across the Great Xia, seeing countless Demon Beasts.

Yet she had never encountered a creature so lovely—beautiful as a divine sculpture.

Without a care for Fu Jianzhou's consent, Bai Lan seized control of their body and strode off towards the northwest Moon Arch.

Just as they stepped through the courtyard gate, Fu Jianzhou spotted Celestial Cyan Porcelain descending beneath the Firethorn Tree, her long Dragon Beard reaching into a Leaf Cocoon.

Those Dragon Eyes were no longer cold—they were as tender as water.

Her movements careful and gentle, she curled out a tiny human.

"Mmm... mm." Du Yu rubbed his eyes sleepily, still lost in a beautiful dream.

After days of relentless combat and travel, Du Yu was exhausted.

And with the enchanting flute, he had slept deep and heavy as a rock.

"Hisss..." A soft dragon's hum wound through the silent halls of Shatang Mansion.

Du Yu finally woke up, and looked up: "Qingci?"

The next instant, the Celestial Cyan Porcelain parted her dragon's mouth and—gulped the tiny human into her jaws?

"Uh." Du Yu lay sprawled on the cool Dragon Tongue Bed.

The chilly tongue rose and fell like waves, tossing Du Yu up and down with it.

Her voice was still cool as ever, but gentle now: "You missed me."

"No, not that much." Du Yu clung to the tongue, rubbing his face on its icy surface.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain lowered her head, her voice tinged with a quiet amusement: "So stubborn."

Du Yu tried to struggle up, but the dragon's tongue wouldn't let him.

"Who is he?" Celestial Cyan Porcelain opened her mouth.

Du Yu gripped the tip of her tongue, peeking through a crevice to see Fu Jianzhou standing beneath the Moon Arch.

"He's my senior brother, Fu Jianzhou, and also Master Qing's disciple," Du Yu explained, "When I was weak, he protected me and helped me grow."

The East Wing of Shatang Courtyard has always been reserved for him."

"Mm." Hearing this, Celestial Cyan Porcelain's scrutinizing gaze grew much gentler.

Since you have helped Du Yu, you are spared the guilt of taking my place.

Fu Jianzhou was dazed too!

What kind of human-pet interaction is this?

Watching the dragon's mouth close, the junior brother vanish—this is...

Before an Ancient Demon Saint, little humans really have no means to resist.

The crushing force was absolute, at all times and in every way.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain slowly took flight, drifting toward the northern Dust Spirit Garden: "I can take you with me when I leave."

Hearing this, Du Yu realized Celestial Cyan Porcelain still had not found the Purple Abyss Water Drops.

Which made sense—after hundreds of fruitless years, another sea search wouldn't make a difference in time.

Du Yu replied gravely, "I'm on the edge of the battlefield now; there's still one last task I have to complete."

"A task?"

"Yes, I must take revenge on my enemies."

Celestial Cyan Porcelain's voice chilled: "Enemies?"

"Mm, the Golden Lion Corps..." Du Yu recounted everything that had happened recently.

The more she listened, the angrier Celestial Cyan Porcelain became.

And inside that dragon's mouth, Du Yu could do nothing but shiver in fear.

Good gracious~

The enemy's still alive, and yet I'm already being crushed by your aura!

"Let's go, I'll go with you," Celestial Cyan Porcelain said solemnly.

"No, wait—Qingci, it's a bit complicated." Du Yu hurriedly explained, telling her about the Lion Bone Scythe Realm.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain: "No need to worry. The Lion Bone Scythe—just destroy it."

Du Yu: "..."

So domineering—boss move!

He patted the chill dragon's tongue with his hand: "Calm down first, okay?

There's justice and there's vengeance—we're not actually after the Lion Bone Scythe."

After all, it's a Holy Grade Demon Soldier.

To walk the Road to Heaven and refine itself to such a level, it must've suffered untold hardships and perils.

Just for that, it deserves respect from any cultivator.

Du Yu had no feud with Lion Bone Scythe—his vengeance was only for the Golden Lion Corps.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain sensed Du Yu's thoughts, and stifled her anger on purpose.

She said softly, "Let's just go then. If it dares to move, I'll destroy it."

"Mm-hmm, got it." Du Yu felt his heart ease. "But first, we should return to Shatang Mansion, gather my companions."

Celestial Cyan Porcelain said nothing, just turned her dragon head and flew them back to Shatang Courtyard. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

By the time they returned, the Cyan Sect was already assembled, patiently waiting for master and pet to reunite.

"Long time no see, Celestial Cyan Porcelain!" Li Mengnan shot up high, greeting the Demon Saint's return.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain was friendly as well, her long Dragon Beard brushing across the girl's cheek before gently dropping them beneath the tree.

"Pffft~"

And then Du Yu was spat right out.

Strange looks passed among the group; Yang Qingqing just chuckled silently, remembering those earlier outings together.

Inside that icy dragon's mouth, the Water Demon Breath was so thick it felt like a Demon Spirit Realm in there.

Truly, it was the ultimate place for a Demon Tamer to cultivate.

Unfortunately, Celestial Cyan Porcelain was only willing to let in people she trusted—and Du Yu, with his Pure Fire Attribute, didn't benefit at all.

Du Yu floated up and came before the Dragon Eyes: "Qingci, could you go into Master Qing's Jiangshan Map first?"

"Why?"

Du Yu: "With your kind of power suddenly showing up, the Lion Bone Scythe will definitely feel threatened.

Even if it's not involved, it might be forced to join the battle."

Celestial Cyan Porcelain: "I can wait at the sea reef, where the Celestial Gate opens."

Du Yu drifted closer, gently touching the cool Dragon Eye: "Battlefields change in an instant.

No matter how fast I move, there's always a moment when I'm off the field.

But in the Jiangshan Map, it's different.

If we need you, Master Qing can release you straight into the fray—ensuring the right place and timing..."

"Bonk~"

Before he finished, the Dragon Beard poked Du Yu in the face.

Apparently, Celestial Cyan Porcelain meant to poke his forehead—but at her size, the beard just jabbed his entire face...

"Fine, as you wish." Celestial Cyan Porcelain said with a hint of resignation.

She honestly thought Du Yu was being overly cautious.

But perhaps, that was why he could survive in this world of constant danger!

He really did think of everything...

"Uhh." Du Yu scratched his head and grinned sheepishly.

When it comes to fights—especially life and death—you can't be too careful!

There's only one life,

and Prince Du still had far too many ambitions to fulfill.

He turned to look at Yang Qingqing: "Master Qing?"

Yang Qingqing lifted her hand and swept it horizontally in front of her.

Miraculously, as her fair hand moved, a scroll painting silently appeared in the air.

The Seven-foot Map of the Realm immediately unfolded before all.

"Hisss..." A dragon's hum—the Celestial Cyan Porcelain drifted towards the scroll.

A giant Sea-devouring Dragon Turtle dove straight into the painting, merging into the Jiangshan Map.

Du Yu watched as the picture seemed to come alive—

The exquisite Celestial Cyan Porcelain roamed gracefully across the sky inside.

Yang Qingqing slid her palm back, right to left.

The floating Seven-foot Jiangshan Map slowly furled up, became a scroll, then vanished altogether.

"Now we've got real backup! Let's get going?" Li Mengnan was buzzing with excitement.

Usually led by others, the girl was rarely this proactive in the team.

Maybe it was that Spirit-Slaying Pestle acting up?

She muttered quietly, "It's already morning—wonder if Gothine is still in the Lion Bone Scythe Realm."

Du Yu didn't reply, but he didn't think Gothine would run elsewhere.

From Fa Bin and Qinbu's accounts, Gothine always revered the Lion Bone Scythe as divine.

The only thing was—the Lion Bone Scythe rarely responded, so they never managed to sign a Contract.

But for Gothine, nowhere in the world could be safer than the Lion Bone Scythe itself.

After all, Gothine had served for ages, offering up countless treasures to the scythe.

Maybe, even if the "Lion Bone Scythe Goddess" was always cold...

In this most critical moment, the Lion Bone Scythe would finally spare him a glance.

Yang Qingqing eyed her poised team and gave a crisp order: "Let's go!"

Whoosh~

The Mountain and Sea Bell twinkled and vanished.

By early morning, the sky had brightened, but the wind and snow were only getting worse!

Howling wind and blizzard, like a chorus of shrieking ghosts.

Mmm... actually a perfect mood for an epic battle.

Du Yu took a few steps forward, stepping out onto the cliff's edge.

His gaze pierced the storm, staring toward the distant Lion Bone Scythe.

"Let's go." Du Yu raised his collar high and led the way, flying forth.

The group followed close behind, chasing after Du Yu into the endless wind and snow.

Cyan Sect,

is here to collect what's theirs!
