Du Yu sat silently on the bed and did not disturb Little Scorcher’s “ceremony”.
He also held some guesses. Little Scorcher’s previous demon tamer must have also obtained her Scorching Solar Vision.
Therefore, Little Scorcher should be missing someone when she saw his eyes…
In his vision, Little Scorcher gradually lowered her eyes. Her big orange eyes were still beautiful, but their luster had dimmed slightly, and she was abnormally depressed.
Such a scene made Du Yu’s heart ache.
He reached out to rub her head, but his palm passed through her ethereal form.
“Eh.” Little Burning Sun woke up and looked at Du Yu timidly.
Du Yu said softly, “Among millions of people, you chose me. I will cherish you and do my best to protect you.
Don’t be sad, Little Scorcher. When we grow up, let’s teach that stupid tree a lesson, okay?”
“Really?” Little Scorcher’s eyes brightened a little, and hope rose in her sad little face.
Du Yu reached out and tapped the tip of her illusory nose. “You just said that I’m a good person. Good people don’t lie to you.”
“Yes, yes.” A phantom mist seemed to rise in Little Scorcher’s eyes. She kept nodding and spread her arms, wanting Du Yu to hug her.
Unfortunately, her figure was illusory and did not receive a warm embrace. She only passed through Du Yu’s body.
Du Yu turned around and saw Little Scorcher looking aggrieved. “I’ll be fine when I grow out my body.”
Du Yu said, “In other words, right now your body is shattered but your demon soul is still intact. You need to reconstruct your body.”
“Yes and no.” Little Scorcher lowered her small head and whispered, “I could have started over. But I keep feeling that something is missing.”
Du Yu did not understand. “What are you lacking? Will it affect your reconstruction of your body?”
Little Scorcher shook her head, as if she didn’t even understand her situation.
For a moment, the room fell silent.
After a while, Little Scorcher took the initiative and said, “I’ll teach you, Contract. I have a new home, Little Fire Fox and you, will grow faster.”
Du Yu nodded eagerly. “Sure. What should I do?”
“Focus.” Little Scorcher floated back to his face, reached out, and gently touched Du Yu’s forehead.
Du Yu felt his forehead heat up. Little Burning Yang’s finger clearly was not tangible, but it led a trace of fire element to burn down from Du Yu’s forehead.
A little hot.
Mid-brows, mid-lip, mid-chest, lower navel, sea of qi.
This was a clear vertical line. To Du Yu, it was an extremely hot path of flames.
There were many acupoints in the human body, but there were only a few that could be used as the home of demon pets.
Among the four mentioned acupoints, the Bandang and Qihai acupoints could be used as the home of demon pets.
As the level of the contract increased, Du Yu would be able to obtain more demon pet homes and sign contracts with more demon pets.
“Perseverance. Just a little more.”
Du Yu said, “Yes!”
Little Scorcher’s finger landed on Du Yu’s Qihai acupoint and stayed there for a long time, as if she wanted to suck out the fire elements in his body!
It was not until Du Yu’s limbs were cold yet his abdomen was burning that Little Burning Yang’s fingers gradually moved up and returned the way they came…
“Pick up, Little Fox.”
“Okay.” Du Yu hurriedly picked up Little Fox and held her to his chest.
Woosh ~
Little Scorcher’s finger on Du Yu’s glabella pulled outwards, and a small line of fire was actually hooked out from between Du Yu’s eyebrows.
Du and Little FIre Fox looked confused, and Little Scorcher’s finger slowly pressed into Little Fox’s forehead.
The flame threads connected the human and the pet. At this moment, Little Fire Fox’s big tail, which had been hanging down, gradually curled up!
It seems to have replenished a lot of strength from Duyu’s body?
Little Fire Fox’s limbs straightened, and her big tail curled up. Her golden brown eyes were even brighter. She looked up at Du Yu and cried out softly and happily. “Wuu ~”
Don’t, don’t…
“Gulp.” Du Yu’s Adam’s apple bobbed. Under normal circumstances, little cute things would at most make people feel pity.
However, Little Fox’s temperament was completely different. There was actually a hint of seductiveness in her cuteness?
It was reflected in its golden brown fox eyes. It was really moving and pitiful!
How could this be?
When it grew up and faced some big brothers and sisters, wouldn’t that be lethal?
Strings tied. The contract was set.
The confused little fire fox seemed to have its mind activated. Its lively eyes looked around. Finally, it lowered its furry little head and gently licked Du Yu’s palm.
Du Yu did not move. There was only one sentence in his heart: King Zhou’s happiness is probably not far away…
“Sob~” Little Fox whimpered softly. After signing the contract, Du Yu realized that he could vaguely sense Little Fox’s thoughts.
‘Is she hungry?’
Du Yu hurriedly got out of bed and rushed to the kitchen.
The living room was empty except for Teacher Li Hong’s reprimanding voice coming from the master bedroom.
Du Yu really wanted to give Li Mengnan a sad expression, but when he thought of her “fierce man’s obedience” appearance, he couldn’t help but laugh…
After taking a bag of milk from the refrigerator, Du tiptoed back to the guest room and gently closed the door.
“Later. It’s too cold. It’ll be ready soon.”
Du Yu lifted his shirt and stuck the cold milk to his abdomen. He asked in his mind, “Little Scorcher, what do you like to eat?”
“Wait until, I build a body, and eat it myself.” Little Scorcher felt that it was a pity, but she sensed that Du Yu was warming Little Fire Fox’s milk with his stomach and seemed happy with his choice.
Little Burning Sun did not know that Du Yu did not dare turn on the stove in the kitchen for fear of disturbing Li Hong’s motherly love for Li Mengnan.
Little Scorcher continued, “Now, you eat, equals me eat.”
Du Yu said, “Huh?”
Little Burning Sun said, “My contract with you is different from Little Firefox’s. If you eat, I eat.”
Du Yu scratched his head and pondered. “I see… Does human food help you? You need rare fruits or something, right?”
“Uh-huh.”
There were many types of spiritual plants in this world. If they produced specific fruits, it would be very beneficial to the growth of demon pets. It would naturally help Little Scorcher recover her strength and reconstruct her body.
However, these rare fruits were not something that the current Du Yu could hope for.
On the other hand, demon pet rations were more realistic. There was special food specially provided to demon pets in this world, which was also beneficial for their growth.
However, demon pet rations were not ordinary goods. They could only be bought with the identification of a demon tamer. Therefore, they could only wait until tomorrow to participate in the training and eat at the canteen of the Demon Spirit Academy.
‘It’s settled this time!’
Not only did he have to eat, but he also had to secretly eat pet food…
Well… he had to be careful when eating. He had to be careful not to be caught. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous.
Du Yu made up his mind. “Little Scorcher, endure it a little longer. I’ll go to school tomorrow and steal some food for you.”
Little Scorcher: “Okay ~”
Du Yu said, “By the way, how can we stimulate the potential of the little fire fox and turn it back into a rare colored breed?”
“I’ll divide her, some breath. Just leave it to me.”
Du Yu was relieved. He hated that he had just started and could not provide her with too much help.
Tomorrow’s dog food… uh, pet food, I’m definitely eating it!
Taking a moment to compose himself, Du picked up the phone with one hand as he searched for Fire Fox’s skills. “Shall we name her?” he whispered.
Little Scorcher: “Okay ~”
Fox said, “Wahh?”
Since it was a wahwah monster, why not call it a wahwah fox?
‘Er… that seems rather hasty. Let me think again.’
Du Yu spent the afternoon in anticipation.
…
The next morning, Du Yu ate his fill. He carried his bag and pushed a certain someone’s large suitcase. Under Teacher Li Hong’s repeated instructions, he went out with Li Mengnan.
Today’s Li Mengnan was as beautiful as a peach. She was wearing a white T-shirt and denim jeans. Coupled with her long legs, she looked the beauty of youth.
It seemed that yesterday’s heavy motherly love did not disturb her beautiful mood.
With Dark Wind Sword at her hip and a wind witch doll perched on her shoulder, she attracted a lot of attention along the way.
From time to time, the wind witch doll would float up and circle in front of Li Mengnan’s face, making the girl happy.
In just one night, the little guy could actually fly.
Du Yu secretly blamed himself. He felt that he had been a little soft-hearted yesterday. He should have brought Little Fire Fox to learn the elementary skill, Sparkle.
“Wind Witchy, blow away the willow branches in front of you!” Li Mengnan held the Black Wind Sword in her hand and pointed the wooden sword forward in high spirits.
After receiving the order, the eyes of the wind witch doll suddenly changed.
(>_<)
It used all its strength and finally caused the slightest wave, blowing the willow branches hanging in front of it gently.
“Be careful.” Li Mengnan hurriedly reached out and caught the fallen wind witch doll.
A badminton birdie that landed on the ground and could still stand up, but the doll was a pile of mud, lying motionless in Li Mengnan’s palm.
A thought struck Du. “Wind witchy?”
‘Great minds think alike!’
The name was to my liking.
Li Mengnan was all smiles. “Isn’t the name I gave it cute? It has a beautiful meaning!”
Du Yu asked curiously, “What’s the moral?”
Li Mengnan’s beautiful eyes were bright and full of yearning. “One day, its wind will blow so hard that it will cackle like a witch! Witchy witchy!”
Du Yu was speechless.
‘An about the onomatopoeia in the name?’
Li Mengnan held the wind witch doll in his hand and looked at Du Yu proudly. “The Internet says that giving demon pets a nickname can close the distance between master and pet.
Does your little firefox have a name?”
Du Yu shook his head. “I’ve thought about it for a long time, but I’m not sure. Your naming style suits me very well.”
Li Mengnan tapped his lips with his fair finger, looking thoughtful. “So… splat?”
Du Yu looked at the quirky Li Mengnan and wondered how her little brain worked. “Are you describing the sound of sparks splashing?”
“That’s right! Rumbling also works, it’s a little more domineering.”
Du Yu quickened his pace awkwardly. “Let’s go, let’s go. I saw the school bus from the Demon Academy.”
