I want to squeeze with you
"Tell them. If we say we didn't get it, who knows what kind of scene Han Qiao will make.
Don't mention the Bi Fang."
Gu Xiaoyue leapt onto the back of the Fire Phoenix and recalled Xiao Qi.
Chu Li was somewhat puzzled. Since they had both strengthened their bodies twice, why did Gu Xiaoyue's physical enhancement seem even more effective than his?
They had both eaten the golden scale fruit, so it should have been the same.
Little did Chu Li know, Gu Xiaoyue's body had already been strengthened three times, and combined with the martial arts mental techniques from her previous life, it was naturally much tougher than his.
"We shouldn't have agreed to Fang Xiaoyu's request to bring Han Qiao along in the first place!
If it weren't for her just now, we could have retreated first, and once it was safe, I could have used the Youming Tiger to sneak over and harvest the han jiang grass!"
Chu Li was somewhat resentful. He had almost put Gu Xiaoyue in danger again just now; the distance of several dozen kilometers was beyond the range of his summoning skill.
He needed to continue training his summoning skill once they got out!
Gu Xiaoyue just said indifferently, "We're already inside, so let's just be more careful. Getting the Bi Fang can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Chu Li sighed and commanded the Fire Phoenix to fly toward the gathering point specified by Gu Xiaoyue.
Ye Wanrou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing in circles around Chen Yixuan.
"Ye Wanrou, stop pacing, you're making me dizzy."
Chen Yixuan held her back with some helplessness.
Before he could finish speaking, the Fire Phoenix appeared in everyone's line of sight, and within a few seconds, it flew in front of them.
Han Qiao rushed up and asked Gu Xiaoyue eagerly, "Did you get the han jiang grass? The han jiang grass?"
Ye Wanrou also rushed over and shoved Han Qiao aside, "Xiao Yue, are you hurt? Is it serious?"
She grabbed Gu Xiaoyue's hand and looked at the gauze seeping with blood, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's fine, Ye Wanrou, it's not serious."
Gu Xiaoyue comforted her and also told Han Qiao that Chu Li had harvested the han jiang grass.
As soon as Han Qiao heard the han jiang grass was in Gu Xiaoyue's hands, she immediately said she wanted it.
Hearing this, Ye Wanrou was furious. She pointed at Han Qiao's nose and said, "Xiao Yue just got back. Instead of asking if she was in danger, you're only focused on wanting the han jiang grass. Do you have any conscience at all!"
"We agreed on who wanted which materials before we came in. What did I do wrong?"
Han Qiao retorted without showing any weakness.
"Sure."
Gu Xiaoyue spoke up, and Ye Wanrou was shocked. Han Qiao wanted it—and she was just going to give it to her like that?
"60 million star coins."
Gu Xiaoyue continued, and only then did Ye Wanrou feel relieved. Making Han Qiao pay for it was the right thing to do!
"Give it to me first, and we can just deduct it when we split the star coins after leaving the secret realm."
Han Qiao reached out to Gu Xiaoyue.
Gu Xiaoyue didn't move and uttered three words, "star coins first."
Han Qiao's expression stiffened. Seeing Gu Xiaoyue's firm attitude, she turned to Fang Xiaoyu and asked him to pay the star coins first.
"You've only been together for a few days, and you're already asking him to pay 60 million for you? You're so shameless!"
Ye Wanrou rolled her eyes so hard they almost flew into the sky, her tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.
Fang Xiaoyu scratched his head. He didn't have that many star coins, and he felt even more embarrassed to ask Gu Xiaoyue to hand over the han jiang grass to him first.
At this moment, Han Qiao seemed to realize something and said, "If not 60 million, 40 million is fine. We were supposed to get 10 million anyway, so why not just waive that!"
Hearing this, Chu Li got angry. "What kind of wishful thinking are you having? Xiao Yue lured away the fierce beast, and I went to harvest the han jiang grass. Besides dragging us down, what the hell have you done!
You still want an equal share? Are you broke and crazy, or did you just wake up from a dream!"
Han Qiao pouted, looking as if she had suffered a great grievance, and tugged at Fang Xiaoyu's sleeve without saying anything more.
Fang Xiaoyu asked, "Then how do you suggest we split it?"
"Xiao Yue gets 60 percent, I get 20 percent, and the four of you get 5 percent each."
Ye Wanrou and Chen Yixuan both agreed. They hadn't done anything besides fleeing the scene, so they wouldn't have any objections even if they didn't get a share.
Actually, Fang Xiaoyu also agreed. Only Han Qiao disagreed, "Then wouldn't I have to pay 54 million star coins! I don't agree!"
"You're the worst. If it weren't for you—"
Chu Li pointed at Han Qiao's nose, wanting to say that if it weren't for her, he could have let the Youming Tiger use stealth to harvest the han jiang grass, but thinking that he couldn't expose the Youming Tiger, he didn't say it.
Gu Xiaoyue smiled, "Then I'll give you 3 million star coins, do you agree?"
Han Qiao answered without even thinking, "Of course I agree!"
Subsequently, Fang Xiaoyu's brain received a transfer of 6 million star coins.
Han Qiao seemed to just realize something, "Gu Xiaoyue, what do you mean?"
"Nothing special, 60 million, I'm taking the han jiang grass!"
Gu Xiaoyue took out a few stools and signaled for Chu Li and the others to sit down and rest for a while; it had been truly dangerous just now, and she felt a bit exhausted.
She hadn't decided which pet to use the han jiang grass on yet.
If she gave it to Xiao Qi or Xiao Jiu, she wouldn't be afraid even if she encountered mature second-tier or third-tier fierce beasts again.
However, she still didn't want to expose Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu in front of others, but if she used it on Qingqing, the success rate would be lower than with Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu.
The difference between Heaven Tier quality and Immortal Tier was not just a little bit.
Not wanting to look at Han Qiao, who was scolding Fang Xiaoyu on the side, Gu Xiaoyue closed her eyes and directed her consciousness into the Yu Beast Space.
Qingqing had been treated by Xiao Lan, and its wounds were already much better.
However, Gu Xiaoyue felt bad for it and didn't want it to fight again for the next two days, so she instructed it to rest well.
The group rested for a while, ate some food to replenish their energy, and continued searching for fierce beasts and treasures in the secret realm.
Along the way, they encountered a few Young life stage rank 8 and rank 9 beasts, all of which were easily dealt with by Chu Li and Fang Xiaoyu.
Consequently, Han Qiao mocked Ye Wanrou and Chen Yixuan both openly and covertly, saying that they were truly "lucky" to get a share of the money just for tagging along.
Ye Wanrou was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight Han Qiao.
She could take insults herself, but not insults against Chen Yixuan!
Gu Xiaoyue knew her little thoughts and didn't stop the fight; instead, she pursed her lips and giggled.
Instead, it was Chen Yixuan and Fang Xiaoyu who pulled the two girls apart, not letting them actually fight.
"We really shouldn't have let her join. It's so annoying!"
Ye Wanrou complained to Gu Xiaoyue secretly.
"These are all minor matters. Just remember what I sent in the group chat earlier."
Ye Wanrou looked at Gu Xiaoyue with some confusion. She didn't understand why Gu Xiaoyue would say that, but she still nodded obediently.
Night fell; time in the secret realm was synchronized with the outside.
They decided on a resting spot, and Gu Xiaoyue took out some wood and lit a bonfire.
The group sat around the bonfire and discussed the night watch.
"How about we three guys take the night watch? Two hours each: 11-1, 1-3, 3-5. We can draw lots to decide."
Chu Li suggested, and no one else objected.
In the end, it was Chu Li from 11 to 1, Chen Yixuan from 1 to 3, and Fang Xiaoyu from 3 to 5.
After dinner, the group started setting up their tents.
Chu Li said to Gu Xiaoyue pitifully, "Xiao Yue, I forgot to buy a tent. Let me squeeze in with you."
