For a moment, he was filled with anticipation.

“They all are. Good people.”

“Huh?” Du Yu felt his vision blur. The figure of the little girl appeared quietly and sat on Du Yu’s abdomen. She looked at Du Yu seriously.

The little girl’s duck pose was very standard. Although she was sitting on Du Yu’s body, Little Scorcher was still an illusory figure and was weightless.

Du Yu was curious. “Why do you say that?”

“I’m so good!” Burning Sun raised his head a little, looking proud. “I can feel their hearts. Like you, they’re good people.”

Du Yu was surprised. Little Scorcher actually had such a skill? So, the extremely rare pure fire element + Good Person Card allowed you to travel half of Great Xia and finally choose me?

The question is… am I a good person?

“Woo?” The lazy little firefox suddenly perked up. It looked curiously at Little Scorcher and tried to climb out of Du Yu’s palm.

The way Little Fire Fox dragged her big tail while approaching the target crookedly gave the feeling that she was crippled yet persevering…

Tsk tsk ~

‘Not picky about the size, as long as it’s a pretty young lady?’

Anyway, this little firefox was also a female. Why did she like to stick to women so much?

“Hehe ~” Little Scorcher looked at Little Fire Fox’s silly appearance, reached out her little hand, and gently patted Little Fire Fox’s head.

Unfortunately, that small hand was illusory. Little Fox didn’t feel the caress.

“By the way, Little Scorcher, are you in your cub form too?” Du Yu asked curiously.

“Mhm.” Little Burning Sun nodded. “Big Tree, it hurt when it hit me. My demon soul, almost shattered. I turned into fire, start again…”

As expected, she was reborn!

Du Yu immediately perked up, and Little Scorcher also mentioned a word: Demon Soul.

The world had a clear classification of demon beasts. From low to high, they were: 1 mortal level, 2 earth level, 3 heaven level, 4 spirit level, 5 demon general level, 6 demon emperor level, and 7 demon saint level.

The fourth level, Spirit, was a qualitative change. After advancing to this level, demon beasts could cultivate demon souls.

A demon soul was an incredible thing!

You could even treat it as a second life of a demon beast.

Even if a demon beast died, as long as its demon soul still existed, given a certain amount of time and power, the demon beast could reconstruct its body!

Although it was extremely difficult to reconstruct a body, and even if the reconstruction was successful, the lifespan of the demon beast would be greatly reduced, but at least it was alive.

Du Yu also knew very well that it was impossible for Little Scorcher to only be at the Spirit level. Based on her ability to cover the eastern part of Great Xia with paper cranes, she was very likely to be at the seventh level—Demon Saint level!

It might even be more than that!

The moment Du Yu returned home, he picked up his phone and searched for Little Scorcher’s information. Unfortunately, he did not find any specific information about the Scorching Solar Crows.

There were only legends about the Solar Crows on the Internet, which did not help Du Yu much.

What made Du Yu feel even more helpless was that although there were countless opinions on the Internet about the Thousand Paper Crane’s storm, none theorized a Scorching Solar crow fighting with the Tree and causing the phenomenon.

Du Yu also specially searched for information on the Kunlun Mountains and the Twin Ancient Trees. He wanted to try his luck, but he also did not find anything.

Thinking of this, Du Yu sat up. “Little Scorcher, why did you fight with the tree? Where is the tree?”

Hearing this, Little Burning Sun lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. “I-I forgot.”

Du Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. He wasn’t sure if Little Scorcher had forgotten or if she was unwilling to say.

He organized his words and asked quietly, “You’re very proficient in the Great Xia language. Where did you learn it? Do you have any human friends, or are you the demon pet of some human mighty figure?”

With just one sentence, Little Scorcher’s face instantly fell. Her figure disappeared and fused into Du Yu’s body.

Du Yu tensed. Had he stepped on a mine?

After hesitating for a moment, he called softly in his mind, “Did I say something wrong? I’m sorry, Little Scorcher?”

His sincere apology still received no response.

Du Yu hesitated for a moment and tried to change the topic. “You said that we signed a contract before. You signed me, right? After all, I don’t know how to sign a contract yet.”

Still silent.

Du Yu was very patient and said softly, “What’s the difference between a pet signing a human and a human signing a pet?

Tell me about it. The stronger I get, the better I can nourish your growth with my body. Don’t you agree?”

“It makes no difference,” Little Scorcher said, finally giving a hint of a response. “I just want to find a home.”

‘No difference?’

Du Yu frowned slightly, but he could not force her too much. After all, Little Scorcher had just thrown a tantrum and ignored him.

A person signing a pet did not mean that the two parties were master and slave: the contract was equal. Therefore, logically speaking, it should technically be the same when reversed?

Du Yu really wanted to know what kind of existence Little Scorcher was and who her previous demon tamer was.

Just like demon beasts, demon tamers also had clear levels.

From low to high, they were: 1 Demon Tamer Disciple, 2 Demon Tamer Scholar, 3 Demon Tamer Master, 4 Great Demon Master, 5 Demon Tamer Generals, 6 Demon Tamer Emperors, and 7 Demon Tamer Saint.

If Little Scorcher really had a human companion, he would definitely be a top-notch demon tamer.

The number of Demon Taming Saints in Great Xia could be counted with ten fingers. Could Little Scorcher be related to them?

If any of the Demon Tamer Saints died in the past two days, it might really be Little Scorcher’s companion! After all, if the previous Demon Tamer did not die, there was no reason for Little Scorcher to find another home.

The more Du Yu thought about it, the more convinced he felt. He picked up his phone and searched again. But even if there was such news, it was probably sealed off. How could he let the commoners know?

He was digging three feet into the Internet when another voice sounded in his mind. “She can, become red ~”

“What?”

“Little Firefox, newborn. The spirituality is not yet gone. There is still, a chance.”

Du Yu put down his phone and asked softly, “Turn into a different color? What should I do?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you.” Little Scorcher’s figure suddenly appeared and floated in front of Du Yu’s face. Their eyes met. “I’ll work very hard this time.”

Du Yu did not understand, but the scene in front of him made his heart tremble!

Before this conversation started, Little Scorcher’s sunset-colored eyes were still so beautiful.

Innocence. Indulgence.

But at this moment, her eyes were filled with sorrow.

She stretched out her illusory hand and gently touched Du Yu’s bright eyes.

Through this familiar Scorching Solar Vision, she seemed to be mourning someone. Or perhaps, this was a silent farewell…
