I Have a Golden Crow

Xu Yihai sighed softly, "Every time a Tai Sui Bamboo is lost, the territory of Bamboo Grove naturally shrinks a bit.

Although Bamboo Grove's area is quite vast, even losing three Tai Sui Bamboos doesn't affect the normal lives of the Chi Bears.

But the Chi Bear Race has its own pride, and even greater dreams of strengthening their race and expanding their homeland."

Hearing this, Du Yu nodded silently, these adorable-looking creatures actually harbored such ambitious aspirations!

Indeed,

They are perfect to be a Demon Pet of this king!

Fu Jianzhou inquired, "Do the Chi Bears esteem strength so much in hopes of becoming strong enough to reclaim the lost Tai Sui Bamboo?"

"No." Xu Yihai shook his head, "The Chi Bear Race has another purpose; they believe they can create Tai Sui Bamboo."

Fu Jianzhou was startled internally, "Create it themselves?"

Xu Yihai shrugged, "That's how the legendary tale goes. And each Chi Bear Tribe within Bamboo Grove firmly believes it."

Listening to these words, Du Yu and Fu Jianzhou exchanged glances.

After all, Tai Sui Bamboo is the Mother of the Demon Spirit Realm, could such a thing really be created?

It all sounds too fantastical.

Come to think of it, if you've created the Mother of the Demon Spirit Realm, then what does that make you?

The Grandfather of the Demon Spirit Realm?

"Whether Bamboo Grove shaped the Chi Bears or the Chi Bear Race built Bamboo Grove, we've never had a definite conclusion."

Looking at the greedy little creature, Xu Yihai's face revealed a smile, "But we can be sure that at the inception of Bamboo Grove Realm, there weren't as many Tai Sui Bamboos."

"Oh?"

Xu Yihai continued, "Legend says that five powerful Chi Bears traveled across mountains and waters and finally settled here.

They possessed abilities to reach both sky and earth and created various attributes of Tai Sui Bamboo, planting them in this land.

They established their own Bamboo Sea homeland and hence established this Bamboo Grove civilization."

Meanwhile, Xu Yihai turned his head towards Du Yu, "After the Chi Bears finish eating, there's a good chance they will bring you into the tribe to continue the celebration.

Every breakthrough and advancement is a great occasion for the Chi Bear Race.

Even though you are not one of their kind, they will treat you as a role model, using the celebration to inspire their tribe members.

Once you express your desire to contract with a Chi Bear, perhaps one will be willing to grow with you.

At that time, they will also express their own intentions.

Regarding the pursuits and beliefs of the Chi Bear Race, you must not show any disdain or contempt."

Du Yu hurriedly said, "No way, having dreams is good, I will fully support it."

"Hmm." Xu Yihai took away the snack bowl, no milk remained long ago, the bottom of the bowl had been licked clean by the Little Chi Bear.

Only to see Xu Yihai stand up, smiling at Du Yu, "After Ms. Su applied for your contract qualification, we thoroughly investigated your past records.

In just a few short months since your awakening, your performance has been astonishing.

Whether it's overcoming the Shadow Gu Tower twice or living closely with the Dust Spirit Deer, to us reviewers, your score is much more than just passing."

Only then did Du Yu realize that the unfamiliar man before him was actually his qualification examiner?

No wonder he had come specifically to say so much to him.

Most of Xu Yihai's stories were never recorded in the Chi Bear Culture Memorial Hall!

The intention is clear, to help Du Yu increase the success rate of the contract, avoiding pitfalls!

Xu Yihai smiled and extended his hand, "We believe you will be a great fit for the Chi Bears, wishing you success."

Du Yu and Xu Yihai held their hands tightly, "Thank you."

Xu Yihai nodded towards Fu Jianzhou, "Mr. Fu, farewell."

"Goodbye." Fu Jianzhou replied, watching the departing man, full of deep emotions, "Not bad, Junior Brother, your fame is rising!"

"Hmm..." Du Yu looked down, only to see the well-fed and rested Little Chi Bear had crawled to his feet, using his calf as a chair, lazily yawning.

As Xu Yihai departed, staff members began tidying up the food boxes.

They and the Chi Bears had a protracted tug-of-war, ultimately squeezed out the last piece of fruit, only then did the Chi Bears let people pass...

"Woo~"

"Woo~!" The Chi Bears returned triumphant, each eating until their bellies were round, passing by Du Yu one by one, heading back into the depths of the bamboo forest.

"Eep~" A Chi Bear brushed past Du Yu's feet, using its round tail to rub against Du Yu's leg, with a slight nod of its head, clearly signaling Du Yu to follow.

"Alright." Du Yu felt a surge of happiness in his heart, bending down to pick up the sleepy Little Chi Bear as if holding a plush toy, and stepped up to follow.

The Red Leaf Bamboo Forest, a world apart.

As Du Yu and Fu Jianzhou navigated through clusters of bamboo trees and proceeded deeper within, they finally witnessed the legendary Mother of the Demon Spirit Realm—Tai Sui Bamboo!

The towering Tai Sui Fire Bamboo stood far above the other bamboos!

Bear in mind, the fire-red bamboo already reached over 60 meters high, its dense leaves resembling a red sky-spanning cloud.

Even so, it couldn't overshadow the prominence of the Tai Sui Fire Bamboo!

A piece of fiery red Tai Sui Fire Bamboo, so beautifully surreal.

Its scale is tremendously grand, at least 80 meters tall, extremely thick, probably requiring several people to embrace it.

And in front of the Tai Sui Fire Bamboo, there stood a gigantic bamboo chair, making Du Yu feel a bit bewildered.
