143: Weapon Controversy

Gu Xiaoyue blinked; heaven knew how much she wanted that weapon.

Anyone with half a brain could tell this weapon was incredibly valuable.

It couldn't even be measured in star coins.

“You—this is—”

Gu Xiaoyue wanted to ask Chu Li where this came from.

How could Chu Li tell her he found it in the Chu Family's treasure vault?

If the Chu Family Head found out, either he would spit blood, or he would beat Chu Li until he spit blood!

“What is it? Just take it!”

Chu Li somewhat forcefully shoved the Po Di Zi Jin Spear into Gu Xiaoyue’s hand.

Although in her hand, the spear shaft was only about a foot long; it would likely display its normal size in a pet’s hand.

Gu Xiaoyue didn't act coy; she put the Po Di Zi Jin Spear into her Yu Beast Space, then took out a Hanxing Grass and handed it to Chu Li.

Everyone gasped again.

Ye Wanrou, however, asked, “Xiao Yue, what kind of spiritual plant is this?”

Zhuang Yanxin, a bit enviously, told Ye Wanrou, “This is Hanxing Grass; it can be used by pets above mature seventh-rank and can increase their rank by a major level!”

Ye Wanrou’s mouth hung open in surprise.

“Xiao Yue has so many natural treasures!”

Her praise made Charlie, standing nearby, quite pleased, and he puffed out his chest a bit proudly.

“I know Hanxing Grass can’t compare to this weapon, but consider it a small return gift.”

Seeing Gu Xiaoyue accept the Po Di Zi Jin Spear, Chu Li didn't stand on ceremony either and put the Hanxing Grass into his Yu Beast Space.

Gu Xiaoyue specifically paid attention to Shui Lingyu; his expression was normal, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Everyone dispersed after dinner, focusing on preparing for the National Competition during this period.

Gu Xiaoyue gave the Po Di Zi Jin Spear to Xiao Qi; already clad in purple-gold armor, he looked even more majestic and domineering holding the spear.

Ying Long, having absorbed the energy from the Hanxing Grass and woken up, felt a bit awkward seeing Xiao Qi holding the Po Di Zi Jin Spear.

When Gu Xiaoyue’s consciousness entered the Yu Beast Space, she couldn't help but ask, “When did Xiao Yue get a weapon? Why didn't she think of getting one for me too?”

Gu Xiaoyue was a bit bewildered; in her mind, for a great beauty like Ying Long, wielding a sword or spear was too awkward.

Only a graceful weapon would suit Ying Long.

Seeing her not answer, Ying Long became even more annoyed.

“Initially, Hou said you were biased, and I just thought you were prioritizing those who came first!

Now it seems you can’t distinguish between what’s important and what’s not!

I, a dignified God-Rank Pet, can’t even be worthy of a weapon from you!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ying Long transformed into her beast form, a giant dragon over 100 meters long, suddenly appearing in Gu Xiaoyue’s Yu Beast Space!

Instantly, lightning flashed and thunder roared within the space, accompanied by wind and rain.

Several large trees were split in half, and a Fire Sea ignited on the grassland, which wouldn't be extinguished by the rain.

“Jun Lin, I just thought that spear was more suitable for Xiao Qi!

If I found a weapon suitable for you, how could I not give it to you!”

Ying Long, in her original form, didn't listen to Gu Xiaoyue’s explanation at all, only causing a ruckus in the Yu Beast Space.

By this point, if Gu Xiaoyue still didn’t understand her intention, she would be a fool!

Ying Long was simply disobedient and wanted to retaliate against her!

The weapon was just an excuse; Ying Long’s current rank was only one minor level lower than Xiao Qi’s.

But she was God Rank, and if they really fought, even with the Po Di Zi Jin Spear, Xiao Qi might not be her opponent!

Gu Xiaoyue frowned, and Xiao Qi had already raised his spear to stab Ying Long.

The Po Di Zi Jin Spear guided Xiao Qi’s Thunder Attribute skill.

The lightning struck Ying Long’s body directly, causing her dragon scales, despite their defense, to crackle loudly!

But Ying Long also had the Thunder Attribute, so Xiao Qi’s Thunder Attribute skill had much of its attack power nullified.

Ying Long spat out a water column, directly blasting Xiao Qi far away.

Ying Long used the skill “Overturning Rivers and Seas”; the sea within the Yu Beast Space churned with giant waves tens of meters high, making even Xiao Lan appear disheveled from being battered by the waves.

Hou had long known this day would come, wearing a schadenfreude expression.

Xiao Jiu also wanted to join the fight, but Ying Long’s pressure was enough to suppress him, rendering him unable to move.

The vibrations in the Yu Beast Space made Gu Xiaoyue dizzy and irritable.

She had no choice but to use her trump card!

She exchanged 500 points in the mall for a Beast-Beating Whip.

She controlled it with her consciousness, raising the whip and striking at Ying Long.

“What is this? Are you trying to tickle me?”

Ying Long was not on guard against this thin whip, thinking it was just a piece of grass rope blown by the wind.

Even Xiao Lu was on the ground, hugging the Hua Yu Tree and Soul Exchange Fruit tree, trembling.

How could this grass rope hurt her!

“Ah—what, so painful!”

Gu Xiaoyue swung the first whip, striking Ying Long squarely, and she let out a scream.

Taking advantage of her inability to dodge, Gu Xiaoyue pressed her advantage, continuing to swing the whip.

With each whip Ying Long received, her body size shrank by two circles, until she was only a little over two meters long.

She finally reverted to human form, collapsing to the ground, covered in red welts from the whipping.

“Can you speak properly now?”

Gu Xiaoyue’s voice was condescending.

“You say I’m biased; whoever is well-behaved and obedient, I naturally favor them more.

Is there anything wrong with that?”

Tears welled in Ying Long’s eyes; she seemed to have been beaten severely.

She turned her head away, biting her lip and remaining silent.

Xiao Lu ran over, nudging Ying Long’s clothes with her small hooves.

It was like comforting, and also like persuading.

Gu Xiaoyue sighed, “If you don’t want to follow me, and you think I’m harsh and biased.

Then why don’t I just release you now!”

Light seemed to appear in Ying Long’s eyes, “Really?”

“Of course it’s real, but I won’t just let you go like this!

Your rank was cultivated by me; even if I release you, I’ll turn you back into a pet beast egg and throw you into the Ten Thousand Year Cold Pool!

I won’t go to the New Student Secret Realm; I’ll put you in the Graduates Secret Realm!”

Gu Xiaoyue’s gaze swept over Hou, “What about you? Are you staying with me or going back to the Ten Thousand Year Heaven Flame?

If you both want to go back, I’ll release Xiao Lu too!”

Gu Xiaoyue’s heart felt like it was bleeding; she had used so many natural treasures to raise the ranks of Ying Long and Hou.

However, a forced melon isn’t sweet; what if they are God-Rank Pets? If she couldn’t control them, it would be better to abandon them!

Upon hearing about returning to the Ten Thousand Year Cold Pool, Ying Long’s expression changed.

Hou immediately stated, “I’m not going back!

It’s not easy to find someone who can contract me. You can send Ying Long back; she wants to go back!”

Gu Xiaoyue looked at Xiao Lu, “What about you?”

Xiao Lu looked at Ying Long, her gaze full of regret, but she also shook her head.

Just then, a spiritual light burst from Xiao Lu’s body, and her size suddenly doubled.

She leveled up!

Gu Xiaoyue carefully felt her twelfth body reinforcement.

“Ding—Congratulations to the host for achieving the accomplishment—

Twelve mature first-rank pets (completed).

Reward: 6300 points, 10 Huanpo Lotuses.”

Ten minutes later, the reinforcement ended.

She only felt that the effect was minimal.

Now, all twelve of her pets had reached maturity.

She didn't plan to contract any new pets, so her body reinforcement would only reach this level.

After the interlude, Gu Xiaoyue asked Ying Long again.

“Jun Lin, have you thought it through?”

Even though the Beast-Beating Whip’s description said it could make the beaten pet obedient for a year.

Gu Xiaoyue thought she should still respect Ying Long’s wishes; if she insisted on leaving—
