119: Gu Yongze goes to propose marriage

Gu Xiaoyue frowned. Was this the Chu Family Head informing Chu Li that Gu Yongze had gone to propose marriage?

She had been in the capital for special training for less than a month. It seemed Xiao Mingyan had dealt a heavy blow to the Gu Corporation, causing Gu Yongze to lose his composure.

Moreover, he had no other way out and could only seek a marriage alliance with the Chu Family.

Gu Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt for Gu Yongze in her heart.

"Should you agree? You're asking me?"

Chu Li hadn't finished the call yet; it seemed the Chu Family Head was asking Chu Li whether he agreed.

He glanced at Gu Xiaoyue. Of course he wanted to agree!

The problem was—would the person concerned agree?

Everyone could hear the meaning of his phone call—

White Gaze asked Shui Lingyu, "It sounds like Big Sister's family went to the Chu Family to propose marriage?"

Shui Lingyu nodded, while He Zhichen clenched his fists.

Now, the target being stared at by three dark faces had become Chu Li.

Chu Li felt a chill down his back from being stared at and hurriedly turned off his brain.

"Xiao Yue, what do you think—"

Chu Li certainly knew that Gu Xiaoyue would not agree to the marriage, but he didn't know her next plan.

Gu Xiaoyue pondered for a few seconds and then said softly, "You know I want the Gu Family to go bankrupt. I'm afraid the Xiao Family is also taking action now.

It's better for your family not to get involved."

In fact, Gu Xiaoyue didn't take Xiao Mingyan seriously at all, but the Xiao Family Head had a God-Rank Pet, so she had to be a bit wary.

After all, she wasn't powerful enough to be invincible yet; she was merely a Master-level Beastmaster.

The combat assessment for the quasi-legendary level involved two mature sixth-rank ferocious beasts.

The strict requirement for the Beastmaster's pets was that they must have at least two that were mature fourth-rank middle stage or higher to have a chance of passing.

Otherwise, when entering the information into the brain, one would be notified that they didn't meet the requirements and would fail directly.

Now that she was in closed training with the National Team, neither assassins nor the Xiao Family could lay a hand on her.

The training camp would end in over a month, and she only wanted to think about how to improve her strength.

Gu Xiaoyue looked at the handsome men in front of her and sighed, "I'm going to eat."

White Gaze immediately smiled, "Big Sister, I'll make it for you. You especially like what I make!"

Gu Xiaoyue didn't refuse, although she didn't know where this emotion of White Gaze came from.

Chu Li, Shui Lingyu, and He Zhichen, however, were skeptical.

Wasn't he a prince of Damon Country? Could he even cook?

When five dishes with Damon characteristics appeared in front of Gu Xiaoyue, they finally truly believed—this prince had some skills!

Gu Xiaoyue tasted them; they were indeed all things she loved to eat, and the flavor and cooking time were all just right.

"Delicious."

She praised while eating.

"Is it delicious? Let me try!"

Chu Li immediately went up with his chopsticks and put a piece of meat into his mouth.

This taste—he didn't find it particularly delicious.

Was this the taste that Xiao Yue liked?

Gu Xiaoyue was different from Ye Wanrou; she had no requirements for food.

As long as there was something to eat, it was fine.

Chu Li had only heard her say once during the special training at Xiao Pan Mountain that she wanted to eat what her mother made.

But why did White Gaze know Gu Xiaoyue's taste?

Clearly, ever since they awakened their talents, only he had been with Gu Xiaoyue all along!

Could White Gaze also be reborn?

Chu Li felt that this was the only possibility, but even if he asked, would White Gaze tell him?

While Chu Li was having an internal conflict, Gu Xiaoyue had already finished eating.

She cleared the dishes and returned to her dormitory, thinking that Ying Long and Hou should be leveling up tonight.

Gu Xiaoyue's system shop had no points left at all.

Today she happened to have exchanged for another Huanpo Lotus, so now she had 3.

Should she use it for Xiao Qi? But he had just leveled up to mature sixth-rank.

In terms of skills, Thunderbolt Spell and Lightning Strike were already mastered, but Wind Control was only at an advanced level.

This was the drawback of using too many spiritual plants; the level went up, but the skills and level didn't match, so it couldn't display maximum strength.

Even with spirit condensation dew, the skill proficiency level still required solid, real training.

It wasn't that there were no rare treasures to increase skill levels.

It was just that they were like legends; they couldn't be found on the market at all.

Gu Xiaoyue took out a Huanpo Lotus and placed it in front of Xiao Qi, "Do you want to eat this?"

Xiao Qi could already communicate with her without barriers.

Gu Xiaoyue couldn't make up her mind now; she would let him make this decision himself.

Xiao Qi didn't hesitate for even a second and swallowed the Huanpo Lotus in one gulp.

"I am your companion beast. If there is a chance to become stronger, I naturally cannot miss it.

Not only must I protect you, but also—"

Xiao Qi's gaze swept over the other pets, and even the tianling tree and others growing in Gu Xiaoyue's Yu Beast Space.

He yawned, "I'm going to sleep. Keep a low profile these days."

Gu Xiaoyue smiled awkwardly; she couldn't keep a low profile even if she wanted to.

Including Xiao Qi, all seven pets were sleeping; how could she not be quiet?

She wanted to wait for Ying Long and Hou to level up to mature first-rank before sleeping, but unexpectedly, while she was waiting, Gu Xiaoyue fell asleep.

When she woke up, Ying Long and Hou had already leveled up.

Their bodies were twice as big, the light around them was brighter, and they expressed the joy of leveling up to Gu Xiaoyue with high spirits.

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for breaking through a new achievement—"

Mature first-rank pets: 10 (Completed)—Reward: 3600 points, 3 Huanpo Lotus.

Mature first-rank pets: 11 (Completed)—Reward: 4900 points, 5 Huanpo Lotus."

She had gained 8 Huanpo Lotus at once; now she had 10, and she could exchange points for something else.

Gu Xiaoyue's body also seemed to have been strengthened, but the feeling was very weak.

Perhaps a Beastmaster's body could only be strengthened ten times at most.

After all, many Beastmasters, in their entire lives, could not have enough Mental Power to support them in contracting ten pets.

Gu Xiaoyue fed the Golden Herb to Ying Long and Hou. Now, the only pets that could be summoned were Xiao Jiu, Qingqing, and Xiao Lu.

Because White Gaze wanted to continue observing, Coach Huo found it hard to refuse, so he let everyone train freely.

Gu Xiaoyue practiced summoning skills with Chu Li and Shui Lingyu.

He Zhichen and White Gaze were incredibly jealous on the side.

"You say you have the space attribute; that's really awesome!"

He Zhichen looked at Gu Xiaoyue and the others; he also wanted to get a Fire Phoenix so he could train summoning skills with Gu Xiaoyue.

But he didn't have the space attribute; even if he got a Fire Phoenix, he wouldn't be able to contract it.

White Gaze narrowed his eyes, "Hmm, really awesome!"

He had eleven attributes, but just didn't have the space attribute.

Ever since he learned about his trash attributes, he had once given up on himself.

But later, his biggest regret was not having the space attribute, and thus not being able to have the Fire Phoenix summoning skill.

At this moment, Gu Xiaoyue's brain rang.

She saw it was an unknown number and hung up.

After a while, the brain rang again, still an unknown number, and she continued to hang up.

The third time the brain rang, it showed Gu Xiaoxing's number.

Gu Xiaoyue then answered, and Gu Qi's roar came from the other side: "You wretched creature, do you really want the Gu Family to go bankrupt?!"
