How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

It did give her tremendous motivation at first.

But as time went by, that motivation gradually disappeared.

If it's using Yue Shimei, then that's it.

She wants to give up.

Actually, she doesn't need to work so hard, does she? After all, she's an alchemist; even if her cultivation level is low, as long as her alchemy skill level isn't low, it's fine.

But Junior Sister Yue said there are only two steps left. Do we really have to give up?

Si Keke hesitated for a moment, but still took the difficult steps forward.

One step, two steps.

But the next step was not land; it was still the frozen lake.

At the same time, I heard the girl's voice drawing pictures of cakes.

"Go, Grand Alchemist! You're just one step away!"

Hearing this, Si Keke could no longer hold back her exhaustion and cried out in grievance:

"Just one last step, waaaaah, how many more steps are left?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yueyue twitched her lips and coughed lightly.

"This is truly the final step!"

"I don't believe you. You've said it several times."

As soon as she finished speaking, Si Keke stopped her slacking off.

She was exhausted.

"Junior Sister Yue is just lying. I can't believe the promises you make..." That's all.

The ice surface cracked as soon as it stopped.

Her words trailed off.

Si Keke couldn't help but cry out in surprise. The water was icy cold, making her flinch and frantically grab onto something to steady herself. She didn't know what she grabbed, but her legs, which had been frozen, suddenly melted away.

Ye Yueyue quickly pulled her aside.

She almost got swept away too, but before she could release her spiritual power, she broke through the ice and easily made her way ashore.

Seeing her slumped on the ground unharmed, Ye Yueyue smiled:

"Tell me, is drawing a pie in the sky useful or not?"

Si Keke looked up and realized she wasn't cold anymore. She sat on the grass, where the air was comfortable and a gentle breeze brought a refreshing coolness.

And next to her was Junior Sister Yue's smiling face.

"Okay, okay."

Si Keke looked down and found that she had caught a lotus flower.

Ye Yueyue saw it too, and a sense of powerlessness welled up inside her.

So that's how lotus flowers are used. I was worried she might be hiding a trap and deliberately avoided it, thinking that having a fire spirit root was an advantage.

What about what she just endured?

Is this considered a test of willpower?

"Another day of hard work, haha..."

"What's wrong with Junior Sister Yue?" Si Ke asked, somewhat puzzled, when she saw her Junior Sister Yue suddenly laugh out loud.

Ye Yueyue sighed and said to her, "It's okay, let's go, baby!"

This time, she didn't linger. After saying that, she stepped into the vortex beside the big tree.

“Okay.” Si Keke followed.

Before entering, she turned and glanced at the vast lake, still feeling a sense of disbelief.

It turns out she could get through it too.

……

As soon as Ye Yueyue returned to the clouds, she noticed several pairs of eyes looking at her. When she looked up, she saw that everyone's worried gazes were fixed on her.

Ning Shuang and Jian Youqing both gathered around.

Ye Yueyue couldn't help but ask, "What day is it today?"

“The third day,” Ning Shuang said calmly.

Upon seeing Ye Yueyue, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had confidence in Junior Sister Yue, Ning Shuang couldn't help but feel uneasy because her junior sister kept nagging her.

Things were fine at first, but she started to get anxious from the third day onwards.

I'm worried that Junior Sister Yue won't be able to get through.

Upon learning the time, Ye Yueyue gasped in shock.

Wow, she almost got eliminated.

At this moment, Ye Yueyue was extremely grateful to the snow leopard. If it weren't for it, she really wouldn't have been able to come back. How long would that long slope have taken?

Thank you for giving me a ride.

"Yuebao, why did it take you so long?" Jian Youqing asked.

Her gaze fell on Ye Yueyue, her eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

That shouldn't be the case. Yuebao was always at the top of the rankings in the previous levels, so why did she only come back on the third day this time?

Did something happen?

"How many days have you been on your way to the snow mountain?" Ye Yueyue thought about the two-day detour she had taken and silently changed the subject.

"The fourth day."

6. So she took the long way around.

"Did you all notice the mirror image of the snow mountain from the beginning?" Ye Yueyue asked curiously, turning her gaze towards them.

"What mirror image?" Jian Youqing asked.

For a moment, everyone looked over with puzzled expressions.

"It was discovered, but only the next day."

These words were spoken by Sheng Ning.

His words left everyone even more puzzled.

All eyes were on the two of them, wondering what kind of riddle they were playing.

Ye Yueyue felt inexplicably moved after hearing these words.

See, she's not the only one who's so unlucky.

Seeing the girl pout in dissatisfaction, her cheeks puffed out, making her chubby face extremely cute, Sheng Ning found it amusing while also understanding her hidden meaning.

Ming Qiuyang, standing to the side, felt a little annoyed as he watched the two stare at each other.

He frowned, stepped forward, and casually placed himself between the two, asking, "Did something trigger?"

Mirror image?

So you were delayed for so long because you got lost?

"...You see the snow-capped mountains, right? If you look back, you'll find there's another one. The two snow-capped mountains are basically the same, but one of them is fake. You can't tell the difference at all unless you take out the jade pendant and examine it closely."

After speaking, Ye Yueyue paused again:

"And when I opened my eyes, all I saw was that fake snow mountain."

At this point, everyone understood.

For a moment, sympathetic glances fell upon her, and it was inevitable to feel a pang of pity.

Jian Youqing glanced at her, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.

Are you just really unlucky?

In the end, all I could do was give her a dry pat on the shoulder.

Feeling comforted by her words, Ye Yueyue felt a warmth in her heart. Just as she was about to say that she was alright, a box was slipped into her hand, and at the same time, she heard Jian Youqing's soft voice:

"Yuebao, you've worked hard."

Ye Yueyue looked up.

She saw Jian Youqing looking at her with a comforting smile, her face full of seriousness.

Although she didn't know what it was, she was still coaxed.

Ye Yueyue immediately smiled and leaned closer, whispering, "I love you the most, Qingbao!"

Come again?

Sheng Ning caught a glimpse of Ming Qiuyang's actions and was somewhat speechless. He turned to the side, and the girl's figure reappeared in his sight. He chuckled softly:

"I accidentally wandered into the territory of the demon beasts and only realized it when I turned around. After careful comparison, I found the right path. Otherwise, I might have been in a worse situation than Junior Sister Yue."

Hearing this made Ye Yueyue feel much better. She glanced at Sheng Ning, feeling very satisfied, and nodded in complete agreement.

That's right, the Xuanling Tower is impossible to defend against.

Even someone as clever as her almost got into trouble.

Although that's what she thought, Ye Yueyue still said very sincerely, "With Senior Brother Sheng's intelligence, he would have discovered the problem very quickly even without any demonic beasts."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning's lips curved upwards even further.

Where is Coco?

Jian Youqing suddenly spoke up, glancing at the vortex with a look of worry in her eyes.

Although she felt it was highly likely that she had been eliminated, she still couldn't help but ask.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Si Keke landed on the ground.
