Early the next morning, Du Yu was woken up by the vibrating sound of his phone.
He drowsily picked up the phone, and as soon as he saw the name "Master Qing" appear on the screen, he immediately woke up!
Du Yu sat up, cleared his throat, and then answered the phone: "Hello, Master Qing, are you back?"
On the other end of the call, a woman’s cold voice came through: "Why aren’t you at home?"
"I’m at Lin Shiwei’s house." Du Yu hurriedly explained and added, "I’ve been dedicated to cultivation and honing my skills here without slacking off."
Du Yu’s response was unexpected for Yang Qingqing, who had thought this kid had gone off to some Demon Spirit Realm, but instead he had gone to the Demon Pet Paradise.
Since he’s in the city...
Yang Qingqing softly said, "Come pick me up with Xiaowei in a bit."
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Du Yu put down his phone and saw the time was 7:50!
Darn, it’s all because I snuck out last night to eat syrup, and slept straight through until now.
He rushed to wash up, got dressed, and walked out of the room. After asking the cleaning servant in the living room, he headed straight to the backyard.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Shiwei standing by the fence outside the house, looking towards the northwest of the garden.
"Awake?" Lin Shiwei turned her head upon hearing the sound and said with a smile, "Go have breakfast first, the Earth Bear is still asleep."
Du Yu used his Extreme Eye Power to look far away, feeling somewhat amused.
The Earth Bear is apparently a "sleeping beauty," and when it wakes up, it might be way past noon.
But Su Fang is a soldier, already awake early, yet he doesn’t dare make too much movement, so as not to disturb the big bear’s sleep.
As a result, Su Fang is lying flat like a corpse, straight on the bear’s belly, staring at the blue sky and white clouds with vacant eyes.
The scene, don’t even mention how comical it is.
Lin Shiwei: "If you want to see the results of your breeding and their reactions upon reunification, you’ll probably have to wait a few more hours."
Du Yu spoke up: "Master Qing is back, she wants the two of us to go and pick her up at home in a bit."
"Oh?" Lin Shiwei was pleasantly surprised, Yang Qingqing must have gone for a promotion; she hasn’t been seen for more than 20 days. Now that she’s back, there’s a good chance Aunt succeeded!
Lin Shiwei picked up her phone, dialed a number, and pushed Du Yu with one hand back to the villa: "Let’s have breakfast first."
While the two were gobbling up in the dining room, Su Ming’an, upon receiving the message, came in with two freshly filled jars of maple syrup.
"Since it’s Master Qing’s summon, you should head back."
Su Ming’an signaled the servant next to her to pack the items, then turned to Du Yu: "Once you’re back, make sure to nourish your Demon Pet well, a spoonful or two of maple syrup a day is enough, too much nutrition isn’t good either."
"Thank you, Aunt Su..." Du Yu muttered, feeling like he could almost cry!
Looking at the transparent glass jars held by the servant, containing the crystal-clear, dense and tempting maple syrup, Du Yu almost had a physiological reaction.
Oh boy, this is sorted!
After going back, I’ll spoon-feed it to Little Fen Yang.
A whole two jars! I’m going to suffer until who knows when...
But come to think of it, using a spoon to scoop it down your throat is still better than licking tree bark directly, isn’t it?
Su Ming’an patted Du Yu’s shoulder: "In your spare time, come by here often, you have a real talent for being a breeder.
You have my contact information, if you have any questions about breeding Demon Pets or difficulties in life, feel free to reach out to Auntie."
"Yes, thank you, Aunt Su." Du Yu nodded repeatedly.
Su Ming’an smiled: "Remember, Auntie promised you a Demon Pet too. The cultivation journey is long, don’t rush for quick success.
When you’re ready, I can confidently gift you a Demon Pet."
"Yes." With a round of combo punches, Du Yu was left with nothing else but to nod repeatedly and express his gratitude over and over.
The Demon Pet given by such a Great Breeder like Su Ming’an must be no ordinary grade!
The Demon Pet gifted by Master Qing to Du Yu will definitely match his team’s characteristics, fitting his combat system and growth direction.
While what Su Ming’an might offer may not consider these factors, but just looking at the Demon Pet itself, it would definitely be top-grade!
Just thinking about it is a bit exciting~
That said, Aunt Su is too upright, only thinking about rewarding Demon Pets, answering Du Yu’s questions, and assisting Du Yu’s Demon Taming career.
Actually, there are many ways to pay back.
You could just slap a few million in Du Yu’s face, or flat out buy a property from the Great Xia Government and drop it on him, what difficulties would Prince Du have in life then?
The only difficulty would be not being able to afford the property management fee...
Seeing off by Su Ming’an, Du Yu followed Lin Shiwei into the car, waving continuously to the woman outside the car window.
"Heh." Until the villa disappeared amidst the fiery red maple forest, Du Yu lightly sighed.
He looked down at the two jars of top-grade maple syrup in the gift bag, his expression slightly bitter.
Lin Shiwei is quite astute; when she went to sleep last night, she vaguely guessed why Du Yu was crying under the Maple Tree, his eyes red.
Seeing Du Yu react now, the girl couldn’t help but smile slightly: "I had it when I was little too."
"You stole... huh? You had maple syrup? Was it good?"
Lin Shiwei nodded: "My uncle was really mischievous when he was young. I remember it was New Year’s, I was only 4 or 5, and he blew syrup into a candy figurine and gave it to me to eat."
