So, according to Little Fen Yang, am I a Fire Element Demon Tamer?
"I'll help you, and be with you."
With the soft words of Burning Sun's little girl reverberating in his mind, a scattering of orange-red sheen emerged under Du Yu's skin.
Dreamlike and illusory, very much like Little Fen Yang's beautiful eyes.
But Du Yu couldn't see it; he only felt a scorching heat all over his body, as if all his blood had been ignited.
"Burning..." Du Yu barely uttered a word before his vision blurred completely, and he collapsed into unconsciousness.
He slept, not knowing for how long.
In his dreams, Du Yu returned once more to that land of void.
This time, he was greeted by a pitch-black little bird, its body covered in dark golden patterns, radiating mysterious and brilliant sheen.
Du Yu reached out carefully to touch it, only to see the dark golden patterns on the pitch-black bird suddenly burst into golden flames, burning fiercely!
Is it a Golden Crow or a Phoenix?
In the dream, Du Yu had no place to flee, allowing the blazing flames to rush toward his face, completely igniting his body...
...
Sun and Moon flow, the sun has risen high.
"Ha..." Lying on the hospital bed, Du Yu suddenly opened his eyes, taking deep breaths of cool air, scrambling to prop himself up.
With the pungent smell of disinfectant in the air, is this a hospital?
Du Yu dumbfoundedly looked around, where there were 30 or 40 beds in the large ward, each holding a boy or girl in deep sleep.
"Du Yu, you're awake?"
Du Yu turned his head to see the figure of his homeroom teacher, Li Hong.
The impression of the homeroom teacher was quite stern, never having been so gentle before.
As Du Yu turned his head to look, Li Hong stopped in his tracks, a look of astonishment written across his face.
"Uh~" Du Yu had no time to pay attention to that, as another wave of scorching heat surged through his body. He hurriedly got out of bed, asking, "Where's the bathroom?"
Hot, so hot!
True, full of hot blood!
For this scene, the nurse sister beside him was already used to it.
Under her guidance, Du Yu stumbled towards the bathroom, dove into the sink, and quickly turned on the faucet, letting the cold water pour on the back of his head.
He haphazardly rubbed his head and face, even lifting his short sleeves to splash cold water on his chest and back.
"Splash~ Splash~ Splash~"
After two full minutes, Du Yu finally felt relieved!
He wasn't quite sure if it was the result of physical cooling or if his body had gradually stabilized internally; in any case, he didn't feel as hot-blooded anymore.
"Ha...Ha..." Du Yu panted heavily as he turned off the faucet, resting his hand on the edge of the sink as he slowly lifted his head.
The sight of the wet-haired teenager in the mirror took Du Yu by surprise.
He finally understood why the homeroom teacher looked so incredulous!
Du Yu was fair-skinned, naturally gentle in demeanor, with potential as a warm guy and a grievance holder.
And now, those eyes were so bright, like the finishing touch on a painting, making the person in the mirror look completely "alive."
The eyes were like torches, vibrant and lively!
Such a pair of outstanding eyes transformed his entire aura, revealing a heroic spirit between his brows.
How can he be the great grievance holder, isn't he pure and on the path to becoming a small Sea King?
"Wait, what's this?" Du Yu frowned slightly, seemingly discovering something extraordinary.
This body had previously been buried in sea of books, with mild myopia, which did not affect him much, so he did not usually need glasses.
And now, looking at the mop in the corner through the mirror, counting the tiny fuzz on the mop strips, he personally experienced what it means to have sharp eyes!
"So detailed, Du Yu, really detailed..."
"Hehe~ It's not just that." Suddenly, a soft voice came from beside his ear.
Du Yu couldn't help but blink, and through the mirror, he saw a small head slowly emerging from behind his right shoulder.
His body was already hot, and seeing such a sight almost made Du Yu's nose bleed.
Little Fen Yang rubbed her nose against Du Yu's shoulder, blinking her big, cute eyes: "My eyes have more purposes."
Du Yu's heart skipped: "Your eyes?"
The eyes of the Burning Sun Golden Crow?
When Demon Tamers cultivate to a certain level, they can indeed harness the power of Demon beasts to jointly cast Demon Skills. But that's a privilege of powerful Demon Tamers!
Even if Du Yu truly awakened, he was just a little fledgling. How could he have the means to borrow the eyes of the legendary Burning Sun Golden Crow?
"I made a contract with you, alright~"
Surprising events came one after another; Du Yu simply didn't know any contract methods, so how could he sign a contract... huh?
Little Fen Yang meant that she signed me? Pet Contractor?
Can things in this world really work this way? How come I've never heard of it...
Phew~
Little Fen Yang paid no heed to the dazed Du Yu; her form abruptly transformed into a palm-sized ethereal bird, floating onto Du Yu's shoulder.
Du Yu's eyes slightly narrowed; isn't this the creature from his dreams, with black feathers and golden patterns, resembling both a crow and a phoenix?
The little figure on his shoulder was in an ethereal form, lacking a solid body, without the black and gold colors.
"Thank you for letting me enter your body." The voice of Little Fen Yang sounded joyful in his mind, while the small bird on his shoulder tilted its head affectionately against Du Yu's cheek.
Du Yu: "Uh..."
"Um, there's someone." Little Fen Yang seemed to have noticed something, and her figure vanished instantly.
"Click." The bathroom door was pushed open, and a male nurse entered with a towel, "Are you alright, student?"
Du Yu turned his head towards the door and slowly shook his head.
Unavoidably, the male nurse noticed Du Yu's bright eyes.
Du Yu knew he had transformed into a small Sea King, but being stared at like this by a man was still a bit awkward, so he opened his mouth, saying, "Hello?"
"Ah!" The male nurse snapped back to his senses, "It's good that you've stabilized; here, wipe your face."
"Thank you." Du Yu took the towel, wiping his hair while he asked, "Excuse me, how did I end up in the hospital?"
The nurse's expression was somewhat unnatural, hastily averting his gaze, "Yesterday afternoon, you experienced the Thousand Paper Cranes rain at the front gate of the Seventeenth Middle School. The police brought you and your classmates here."
Du Yu nodded gently: "Thousand Paper Cranes rain..."
Nurse: "Experts analyze that the Thousand Paper Cranes rain was likely caused by a powerful Demon Beast.
We don't yet know what Demon Beast is behind it, nor what intentions they have, but the rain of Thousand Paper Cranes falling in the city helped many children awaken and become Demon Tamers."
Du Yu was taken aback: "The whole Ancient Pine Tower City experienced the Thousand Paper Cranes rain?"
"Not just Ancient Pine Tower City, but the eastern half of the Great Xia Kingdom received the Thousand Paper Cranes rain at the same time."
Du Yu: "Ah?"
The eastern region of Great Xia experienced the Thousand Paper Cranes rain! Such scale, Little Fen Yang is truly this powerful?
It's indeed a legendary Demon Beast, escaping in such earth-shattering fashion.
Speaking of which, when Little Fen Yang transformed into a myriad of Paper Cranes to search for a dwelling, she could bless the land of Great Xia, and she finally made a contract with me, inhabiting my body...
For a moment, Du Yu almost burst into tears.
All my hard work for the high school entrance exam, sprinting back and forth, not in vain. All my suffering, being crushed by a truck, wasn't in vain!
Isn't this where my luck has accumulated~
