Another divine egg

Xiaohei and Xiaoxiong had both leveled up to the early stage of the Mature Tier, and Gu Xiaoyue had undergone two more body reinforcements.

The hardness of her body now was comparable to a Young life stage level 6 fierce beast.

The system also rewarded her with 1200 points, and the previously overdrawn points had finally become positive!

This wasn't what made Gu Xiaoyue the happiest; what made her the happiest was that after more than ten months, Qingqing had finally leveled up!

It had risen from the middle grade of the Heaven Tier to the peak grade of the Heaven Tier!

Even with Gu Xiaoyue's Immortal Tier talent, it had taken more than ten months to rise from the middle grade of the Heaven Tier to the peak grade of the Heaven Tier, so wouldn't those with Heaven Tier or Earth Tier talent need to spend two or three years?

When Chu Li and the others discovered that Qingqing had leveled up, they were naturally happy for Gu Xiaoyue, though each person expressed it differently.

Chu Li had an expression that said it was expected, Ye Wanrou spouted a round of flattery, Chen Yixuan smiled without speaking, and Fang Xiaoyu was extremely surprised.

Thus, they continued killing fierce beasts and searching for medicinal herbs in the secret realm, and the 20-day deadline was fast approaching.

Gu Xiaoyue took stock of the supplies in her Yu Beast Space: hundreds of fierce beast corpses, two mature tianling fruit, three stalks of Ice Heart Grass, and one stalk of han jiang grass that she had found later.

In reality, she could already be considered to have made a fortune, but there was a faint sense of unease in her heart.

She kept feeling that if she left just like that, she would lose something.

As for what exactly it was, she didn't know.

It was already the night of the nineteenth day; in one more day, they were supposed to leave the secret realm.

Gu Xiaoyue discussed it with them; her idea was to let them leave first while she stayed in the secret realm for a few more days.

She needed to resolve the unease in her heart.

She calculated the days; even if she stayed for another five or six days, there would still be time to leave.

Furthermore, with Gu Xiaoyue's current strength, the fierce beasts in this secret realm couldn't hurt her at all.

However, Chu Li and Ye Wanrou firmly opposed this. It wasn't a question of whether Gu Xiaoyue could survive in the secret realm on her own, but rather that since they had come in together, they should leave together in one piece.

The final decision was that they would stay in the secret realm for another five days.

If they still hadn't found anything within five days, they would have to leave no matter what.

Gu Xiaoyue agreed.

They continued walking in the secret realm, and on the twenty-third day, they arrived at a barren and parched land.

"Xiao Yue, is this perhaps the end of the secret realm?"

Ye Wanrou was a little worried; she was afraid that the secret realm would close early and they wouldn't be able to get out.

Gu Xiaoyue shook her head; she didn't know either.

But she had a feeling that although this place was barren, it was very likely to have what she wanted.

It was an indescribable, mysterious feeling of being drawn to it.

She followed her intuition and pressed forward, walking for an entire day until the day they had agreed to leave the secret realm arrived.

"Xiao Yue, why is it getting hotter and hotter? Why don't we just leave!"

Ye Wanrou was drenched in sweat, using her hand to fan her face.

Chu Li and the other boys were holding water bottles, gulping down water.

But Gu Xiaoyue continued walking as if she had heard a call.

Yes, both ahead of her and within her Yu Beast Space, something was guiding her forward!

Finally, they stopped in front of a huge fire pit.

Chu Li couldn't help but exclaim, "I thought that was the end of the secret realm before; it seems the secret realm is far larger than we imagined! This fire—is a bit strange—"

Fang Xiaoyu also felt it was strange. "Such a huge fire pit, I wonder what is burning in it and how long it will take to extinguish. The area nearby is terrifyingly dry; it must have been caused by this fire pit."

"Ding—Detected that the host has discovered the Ten Thousand Year Sky Fire, accept it?" 【Yes】 【No】

She had previously accepted the Ten Thousand Year Cold Pool, and now it was Sky Fire; could there be a pet egg underneath this?

Gu Xiaoyue had roughly figured out the system's patterns, so without much thought, she clicked 【Yes】.

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

"Wait for me for a moment. If nothing unexpected happens, we can leave immediately."

After Gu Xiaoyue finished speaking, she closed her eyes and turned her thoughts into the Yu Beast Space.

The God-Rank Pet egg that had previously been frozen seemed to be glowing with a more intense deep blue light.

It seemed a bit excited, and Gu Xiaoyue could almost feel the egg's heart beating rapidly, thump, thump.

Time passed minute by minute, and the fire pit in front of them suddenly extinguished.

"Ding—Reception of Ten Thousand Year Sky Fire complete—"

"Look, what is that underneath?"

The moment the fire went out, Ye Wanrou noticed that at the bottom of the large fire pit—there was a pet egg wrapped in flames.

Chu Li gave Gu Xiaoyue a look; he understood that Gu Xiaoyue didn't want to leave just for this pet egg!

Fang Xiaoyu scanned it with his brain and was so excited he almost bit his tongue off. "This is a God-Rank Pet egg!"

"What, what! Another God Rank egg! Oh my god, I'm going to be bragging about this for two lifetimes!"

Ye Wanrou jumped up with joy, gave Gu Xiaoyue a bear hug, and then gently pushed her toward the pet egg.

"Xiao Yue, go quickly! This egg must be the reason you didn't want to leave."

Gu Xiaoyue didn't say anything; she silently collected this God-Rank Pet egg into her Yu Beast Space.

She looked at the others again; they were all looking at her sincerely, with no jealousy or greed in their eyes, just pure happiness for her.

Gu Xiaoyue knew that these people could be good friends and soulmates for a lifetime!

Gu Xiaoyue was moved. "This God-Rank Pet egg today was discovered by everyone, so it should be shared equally. I don't know how many star coins it's worth, so I can only owe it to everyone for now."

Ye Wanrou interjected, "Xiao Yue, don't be silly. If you hadn't brought us here, and if this fire hadn't suddenly gone out, we would never have been able to see this God Rank egg! In the end, it was waiting for you; we just happened to be here! Don't mention star coins or anything like that, or I'll get mad at you!"

Fang Xiaoyu also added, "Yeah, if I hadn't been with you, I might not have had the fortune to see two God Rank eggs in my entire life! This life is worth it!"

Gu Xiaoyue was so moved by their sincerity that she almost wanted to tear up.

She could only say that if they didn't want star coins, then in the future, if they needed any resources, she would never be stingy as long as she had them!

The matter came to a rest, and just as Gu Xiaoyue was about to say they should all leave together, she was stopped by Chu Li.

"Xiao Yue, why don't you just sign a contract with those two God-Rank Pet eggs here? I'm afraid that if we go out, things might get complicated!"

The fact that Gu Xiaoyue had obtained the God Rank egg was not a secret. Wei Liuyun, Bai Youlian, and Han Qiao all knew about it.

Not to mention that they were all at odds with Gu Xiaoyue, even if they just casually mentioned it, it would bring endless trouble.

Even if these two eggs both had multiple attributes, there would be no lack of powerful people who would harbor evil intentions.

Even if they couldn't contract them, keeping them as heirlooms and waiting for suitable descendants to contract them was not impossible!

Gu Xiaoyue thought it made sense. After leaving the secret realm, she wouldn't be able to find a safe enough place to contract these two God-Rank Pet eggs.

With a shift in her thoughts, the two God Rank eggs appeared in her hands.

"Hmm, I'll sign the contract right now!"
