Receive the Wannian Cold Pond

Who could refuse a celestial tree that is golden all over and bears particularly valuable fruit?

Gu Xiaoyue definitely had to take it!

If she weren't afraid that she couldn't keep it alive, she would have dug up this tianling tree and stored it in her Yu Beast Space long ago!

"Ding — — Transplanting tianling tree — — Completion progress (0%) Estimated time 11 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds — —"

Fine, fine, fine. It's 2:40 PM now, so the tianling tree won't be fully stored in the Yu Beast Space until 2:40 AM.

Gu Xiaoyue immediately told them that they would rest here today.

Han Qiao came to distribute the tianling fruit and asked Gu Xiaoyue if they were going to split them equally.

Chu Li stepped forward and said, "Xiao Yue gets 30%, Chen Yixuan, Fang Xiaoyu, and I get 20% each, and you and Ye Wanrou get 5%."

"Why! Why am I getting the least again!"

Han Qiao's voice immediately rose; it wasn't the first time she had received the smallest share!

Ye Wanrou felt that Chu Li's distribution was fine. "You should think about what you've done. You haven't done anything, yet you're still getting a share—you should be secretly happy!

You're asking why? Then you tell me why you deserve more!"

Han Qiao put her hands on her hips, striking a shrewish pose. "I am Fang Xiaoyu's girlfriend, so I should be getting the same share as him!

On the contrary, you two dead weights haven't done anything, so you shouldn't be getting any at all!"

Gu Xiaoyue said coldly, "You know full well that you only got in because of Fang Xiaoyu.

Do you not want to stay in the secret realm anymore? Take out the remote and teleport out!"

Han Qiao's face turned pale. She instinctively covered her pocket and didn't dare to say anything more.

In the evening, Han Qiao cooked dinner for everyone herself.

She apologized to Gu Xiaoyue, saying that she had been ignorant before and shouldn't have been so calculating about the distribution; after all, she had come with Fang Xiaoyu.

She also said she would handle the food and logistics for the next few days, so everyone could just focus on fighting at the front.

Her words sounded nice enough, but when it came to cleaning up, she mostly ordered Fang Xiaoyu to do it.

Ye Wanrou came over to gossip with Gu Xiaoyue. She also didn't understand if Fang Xiaoyu had some special hobby, since Han Qiao nagged him every day, and he just took it.

Moreover, when Fang Xiaoyu stood guard at night, Han Qiao never accompanied him once.

Gu Xiaoyue was noncommittal. Every relationship has its own meaning; just as Ye Wanrou said, maybe Fang Xiaoyu just has a special hobby.

As long as it didn't harm her interests, she wouldn't ask.

Today, Chu Li's shift for night watch happened to be from one to three o'clock. Gu Xiaoyue slept for a while and woke up at two o'clock.

"Transplanting tianling tree — — Completion progress (96%) Estimated time 33 minutes 6 seconds — —"

Gu Xiaoyue left the tent.

Chu Li saw her come out and asked why she didn't sleep a little longer.

"Chu Li, tell me, before we went up the mountain, didn't we see two colors of light, gold and cyan?"

Chu Li understood and nodded.

Besides this tianling tree, there should be other treasures on this mountain.

And the level won't be low!

"In a while, when Fang Xiaoyu takes over for me, shall we go look around?"

Gu Xiaoyue smiled lightly. After nearly a year of getting along, the two of them already had a tacit understanding.

"Ding — — Transplantation of tianling tree complete!"

As the system's prompt sounded, the tianling tree that had been beside Gu Xiaoyue vanished instantly.

The surrounding light dimmed somewhat because of the tianling tree's disappearance.

Chu Li was a little surprised. He looked at Gu Xiaoyue, then at the empty space where the tianling tree had been, and then back at Gu Xiaoyue.

It wasn't until he saw Gu Xiaoyue's smug and sly smile that he understood.

Fang Xiaoyu, still a bit groggy, took over Chu Li's shift, completely failing to notice that the tianling tree had disappeared.

Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li rode the Fire Phoenix and began to circle the small mountain, going into any cave they found to take a look. They entered three or four caves in a row, but returned empty-handed each time.

Until Gu Xiaoyue entered a cave that could only fit one person sideways.

She had originally thought that there might be a hidden world inside, but she didn't expect to enter a tunnel that was like a slide.

Her foot slipped, and she slid along the tunnel deep into the cave.

Just as she landed and before she could get up, Chu Li also slid in after her.

The two of them helped each other stand up and continued walking forward.

Before long, they saw a pool of deep blue water ahead.

Gu Xiaoyue walked quickly to the front. The cave should have been pitch black, but because the pool was emitting a deep blue light, it wasn't very dark.

"This — —" Chu Li was a bit surprised. "This pool water is so cold!"

He hadn't even touched the pool water yet, but he could already feel the chill radiating from it.

"Ding — — Host detected Ten Thousand Year Cold Pool. Accept? — —"

[Yes]

[No]

Ten Thousand Year Cold Pool?

This can be stored in the Yu Beast Space too?

Gu Xiaoyue hadn't expected her Yu Beast Space to be so powerful.

Although she didn't know what this Ten Thousand Year Cold Pool was for, she had to take it!

Just hearing "Ten Thousand Year," she knew this pool water was awesome.

Gu Xiaoyue chose [Yes].

"Ding — — Receiving Ten Thousand Year Cold Pool — — Completion progress (0%), estimated time 11 minutes 59 seconds — —"

Only twelve minutes, that's quite fast.

Gu Xiaoyue checked the time; it was already 4:47, and day was about to break.

She and Chu Li waited for the system to receive the Ten Thousand Year Cold Pool. After a few minutes, Gu Xiaoyue heard footsteps and voices.

Soon, two more people appeared beside the cold pool.

Gu Xiaoyue took a look, and weren't these two old acquaintances — — Bai Youlian and Wei Liuyun.

Bai Youlian's strength was still decent; after all, she had stayed at Xiao Pan Mountain for a long time during the special training before.

It made sense that Wei Liuyun agreed to let her join the team, Gu Xiaoyue thought, she just hadn't noticed them when they entered the secret realm.

Seeing the cold pool, Bai Youlian said to Wei Liuyun: "This cold pool has a deep blue light, just like what was displayed on the mountaintop. There must be a treasure inside!"

Wei Liuyun nodded excitedly. They were so focused on the cold pool that they completely failed to notice Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li in the corner.

Gu Xiaoyue gave a light cough to remind them that there were still other people here.

Only then did Wei Liuyun and Bai Youlian realize their presence.

"Y-y-you, why are you here?"

Bai Youlian's face turned deathly pale. Her surprise made her stutter, and her eyes were full of venom as she glared at Gu Xiaoyue.

With Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li here, she and Wei Liuyun would likely get nothing.

"However you got here, that's how we got here."

Gu Xiaoyue looked at Bai Youlian with a trace of mockery.

Wei Liuyun and Bai Youlian stood there awkwardly, unsure whether to stay or leave.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, the cold pool water vanished instantly, leaving only an empty pool.

"Ding — — Reception of Ten Thousand Year Cold Pool complete — —"

The system prompt sounded. Gu Xiaoyue had intended to leave, but then she discovered that the bottom of the empty pool was emitting a deep blue light.

Could it be that the original cold pool didn't have any light, and it was this thing underneath that was glowing?

The group, including Gu Xiaoyue, walked to the edge of the empty pool.

An ice-sealed pet egg was lying at the bottom of the pool.

"G-g-god — — God-Rank Pet — —"
