100: The Marrow Washing Spring is too random

Shui Lingyu did not understand why.

Gu Xiaoyue continued, "As for changing attributes, I haven't done that before. Senior, give me that egg, and I'll wash it for you!"

Shui Lingyu's previously dim eyes brightened again; he took the beast egg out of his Yu Beast Space and handed it directly to Gu Xiaoyue.

Gu Xiaoyue also retrieved a pot of Xisui Spring Water from her Yu Beast Space.

Ten milliliters was enough to change the attributes of a beast egg once.

She poured 10 milliliters of Xisui Spring Water onto the Devil Rank egg.

A wisp of golden light circled the beast egg, and its attribute changed to Dark Gold.

"Not good enough, let's try again."

The second time, it turned into Gold-Wood attribute.

Gu Xiaoyue's palms were sweating a little; even Dark Mental Power would be usable for Shui Lingyu, though, of course, Dark-Fire attribute would be best.

The third wash—Wood Mental Power.

The fourth—Light-Fire.

The fifth—Water.

The sixth—Wind-Thunder.

Gu Xiaoyue was getting a bit impatient. These attributes were truly random; if she hadn't moved the entire Spirit Cleansing Spring, along with its spring eye, into her space, she would be heartbroken every time she washed it!

As long as there was a spring eye, the Xisui Spring Water would be inexhaustible, and she could wash it as many times as she wanted.

However, Gu Xiaoyue was getting annoyed. If the Dark-Fire attribute didn't appear soon, she would have to use the Soul Exchange Fruit directly!

She took a deep breath and poured the Xisui Spring Water onto the Devil Rank beast egg for the eighth time.

Finally, a wisp of black mist and a wisp of red light entwined, wrapping around the egg before drilling into it and disappearing without a trace.

Success!

It was finally the Dark-Fire attribute!

Gu Xiaoyue returned the beast egg to Shui Lingyu, "That was not easy. The attributes washed by the Spirit Cleansing Spring are just too random! I was almost about to use the Soul Exchange Fruit!"

Shui Lingyu was also quite excited, "Thank you so much, Junior Sister. I'll transfer more star coins to you later!"

Gu Xiaoyue said she wasn't selling it and just wanted to try washing the attributes, but could he just take her things for free?

Moreover, it was Xisui Spring Water, which was consumed with every use. She only had that one pot, and Shui Lingyu felt terrible watching her wash it.

Gu Xiaoyue waved her hand, "I intended to give this to you anyway. Who knows, if you were lucky, it might have come out after two washes, but I ended up washing it eight times!"

She intended to give it to him?

Shui Lingyu was somewhat moved. From beginning to end, Gu Xiaoyue had been the one planning for this egg for him.

He had even thought that Gu Xiaoyue could have obtained this Devil Rank beast egg based on her own strength alone. Yet, she had given this egg to Shui Lingyu.

Gu Xiaoyue felt that Shui Lingyu was spacing out, so she couldn't help but urge him, "Senior, since the attributes match, hurry up and contract it."

After saying that, she also took out three months' worth of Devil Rank Beast Food from her Yu Beast Space.

Her action confirmed it for Shui Lingyu—Gu Xiaoyue definitely had a Devil Rank beast! Otherwise, who would prepare beast food in their Yu Beast Space that didn't match their own beasts!

For Gu Xiaoyue, although the incident with Xiao Yun had previously caused some distance between her and Shui Lingyu, there was that time during the Beast Master level assessment when Shui Lingyu left early to protect her, exposing the fact that he had a stealth skill in front of her.

Regardless of whether he had any ulterior motives to intentionally move Gu Xiaoyue, she had already come to regard Shui Lingyu as one of her own people.

He was the second person, besides Chu Li, to whom she could entrust her back!

In her past life, Gu Xiaoyue had almost always fought zombies alone. Even after joining the Survivor Alliance later on, she mostly fought on her own. In this life, she wanted to make some changes.

Having many strong beasts was naturally her advantage, but if her combat partners were also numerous and strong, wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger!

Ye Wanrou, Chen Yixuan, and Fang Xiaoyu were also good, but their strength was a bit lacking. Gu Xiaoyue wanted to help them develop well now, whether they developed on their own in the future or continued to work together. It was a good thing for both them and Gu Xiaoyue.

Shui Lingyu snapped back to reality. He had indeed been surprised by the Devil Rank Beast Food just now and couldn't help but re-evaluate Gu Xiaoyue's strength in his heart.

He nodded, pricked his finger, dripped a drop of blood from his fingertip onto the Devil Rank beast egg, and then drew a contract formation.

Gu Xiaoyue watched his movements with a touch of nostalgia; she hadn't drawn a contract formation in a long time.

Moreover, Shui Lingyu had a gentle personality and a handsome appearance, making him look even better when drawing the formation.

Shui Lingyu succeeded in the contract, the beast egg cracked, and a tiny Dark Devouring Dragon Beast crawled out.

It shook the egg fluid off its body, flapped its wings, and feeling that it could fly, it flew towards Gu Xiaoyue's arms.

Just as it was about to fly into Gu Xiaoyue's arms, it seemed to run out of energy.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoyue hurriedly gathered it into her arms, and the little Dark Devouring Dragon Beast didn't stand on ceremony, diving headfirst into Gu Xiaoyue's embrace.

This action of it left Shui Lingyu dumbfounded and amused.

"It seems to like you even more than me."

"Senior, are you jealous? Could it be that because I washed its attributes, it has a slight fondness for me?"

Shui Lingyu didn't know either and shook his head noncommittally.

Gu Xiaoyue looked at the little Dark Devouring Dragon Beast in her arms; it was somewhat ugly-cute, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

Not far away, Chu Li saw this and sat directly between Gu Xiaoyue and Shui Lingyu, "What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?"

Gu Xiaoyue picked up the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast with both hands and held it up for Chu Li to see, "Look, isn't it ugly-cute?"

Chu Li stared at it for a few seconds and nodded solemnly, "Yeah, ugly!"

Upon hearing Chu Li call it ugly, the little Dark Devouring Dragon Beast spat out a column of fire, almost burning Chu Li's nose!

"Hey, you little thing!"

Seeing that it dared to attack him, Chu Li went up to pinch the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast's little nose.

Gu Xiaoyue immediately gathered it back into her arms, "It's still young; it's just playing with you."

Chu Li glared fiercely at the little dragon beast that was acting cute and coquettish in Gu Xiaoyue's arms—it was just as annoying as its owner!

Not long after, everyone received the transfer from Shui Lingyu.

He transferred it based on 2 billion star coins, with 40% for Gu Xiaoyue, 35% for himself, and 5% for everyone else.

He also gave Gu Xiaoyue an extra 200 million.

Gu Xiaoyue had intended to use the Spirit Cleansing Spring to repay the gift Shui Lingyu gave her for her birthday. She wanted to return the extra 200 million star coins to Shui Lingyu, but Shui Lingyu firmly refused to take them back.

Gu Xiaoyue could only sigh, thinking that she would save up some points later to exchange for Dark attribute or Mental Power attribute jewelry for Shui Lingyu in the mall.

You have to know that right now, she wished she could use all her points to exchange for the Huanpo Lotus.

After all, many other supplies could be bought at Hualian, but the Huanpo Lotus might not be purchasable even with money!

Ye Wanrou was quite excited. Last time she went to the secret realm with Gu Xiaoyue, she got over 80 million star coins. This time, before they had even left, she had already received 100 million. Plus the hua yu flower and so many beast corpses—and this was only after two days!

Although the Ye family's background was not inferior to the Chu family or the Lin family, she had only awakened a Profound Rank talent, and she wasn't of the direct bloodline, so naturally, she wasn't valued.

Now, she felt that she also had hope of becoming stronger and stronger. In the future, she might even have the power to fight against Ye Junhe and Lin Zhiyi! She had to cling tightly to Xiao Yue's leg!

After everyone played and fooled around for a while, the boys took the night watch, and the girls went into the tents to rest.

Gu Xiaoyue slept until the middle of the night, when she was woken up by the commotion of the beasts in her Yu Beast Space. What was going on?
