Yulili went around to the other side to observe and confirmed his guess.

And not only did the water-facing turtle grow bigger, it also seemed to become... weird?

Yulili could feel the restless atmosphere around it, as if something was being suppressed, or as if something was missing.

She slowly approached the turtle's genitals. Her intuition told her that she should be gentle and not stimulate the turtle.

Seeing the carp approaching the water-welcoming turtle, the audience in the live broadcast room were all nervous.

Even people who don't know much about it can see that the Water-Walking Turtle is in a dangerous state now. It suddenly sent Yulili away before because it probably didn't want to hurt Yulili. Even it itself has lost confidence, so why did Yulili suddenly come closer again?

If the audience at this time was just anxious and vaguely worried, then when a barrage suddenly appeared, their hearts would immediately be lifted.

[Although it may not be accurate, it is very likely that this water-facing turtle is advancing.]

The appearance of this barrage made the faces of the audience in the live broadcast room change suddenly.

Although no one has ever raised high-level mutant animals, and high-level mutant animals almost always avoid people, the promotion of low-level mutant animals will make them become irritable in a short period of time - and there is also a certain failure rate.

If a cub grows up slowly and gradually increases its strength as its body grows, this promotion is almost not dangerous. The mutant animal cub may be a little irritable, but it is still within the controllable range.

Therefore, "promotion" mainly refers to the period when they are no longer cubs, and have grown to a level that is generally unattainable by their own tribe. At this time, they have to make their bodies withstand stronger forces, which is not only painful but also very risky.

There are so many people now, and there are many rich people, and even more rich people keep mutant animals as pets.

So they had heard a little bit about the promotion.

So when they saw Yulili approaching the water-welcoming turtle, they thought Yulili was crazy.

Yu Lili may not know the dangers of advancing, but they do!

This is an eighth-level water-welcoming turtle. If it really goes crazy, how can Yulili hide from it?

The fish carp approached slowly without attracting much attention from the water-welcoming turtle. Although it took a little time, the fish carp successfully reached the side of the water-welcoming turtle's head.

She saw that the water-welcoming turtle's eyes were red, and the occasional sounds it made were filled with pain. She slowly placed her hand on the top of the water-welcoming turtle's head.

The results of the massage over the past few days were evident. The turtle was very accustomed to her approach and did not have the overreaction that the audience had worried about. Even after Yu Lili put her hand on it, its mood seemed to stabilize a little.

——It did break through.

Yu Lili confirmed this fact.

Yu Lili didn't know much about the breakthrough of mutant animals, but she herself had rich experience in the breakthrough of demonic power. She also realized that the biggest problem of the Water-Welcoming Turtle was not that its body could not withstand the force of the breakthrough, but that its breakthrough power was insufficient.

Generally speaking, to achieve a breakthrough one must first accumulate enough spiritual energy – or other energy – in the body, and then find a place with a high energy concentration, which can increase the probability of a breakthrough.

The Water-Welcoming Turtle's accumulation was insufficient, but it was promoted because of the spiritual energy of the Pearl Grass.

If you don't replenish your energy, your turtle might...

Yu Lili's eyes darkened. Without hesitation, she took out the largest pearl she had just picked and stuffed it into the turtle's mouth.

Not only did she stuff the pearl into the bottle, she also swam to the top of Yingshui Cave, using her magical power to soothe it and catalyze the spiritual power contained in the pearl fruit.

The familiar feeling of comfort brought back some of the Water-Welcoming Turtle's rationality, and the sudden abundance of energy in its body also gave it the strength to make this breakthrough.

It felt a familiar sensation above its head. It opened its mouth and was about to ask when it heard a voice in its head: "Concentrate and work hard to break through. I will do my best to help you."

Ah, this familiar voice, it really is its little human friend.

The water-facing turtle closed its eyes and began to work hard to break through again.

The breakthrough of the water-facing turtle lasted for a long time.

During this period, the audience went from being worried at the beginning to being numb at the end. They no longer wanted to say anything. Anyway, Yu Lili was such an amazing person that she could remain intact even if she encountered an eighth-level mutant animal.

Just say who else?

More and more people came to watch Yingshuigui advance, including Professor Qiu and Professor Qi.

The two were both excited and regretful.

What’s exciting is that we can see the eighth-level mutant animals advance. Regardless of whether the advancement can be successful this time, it is rare to see.

Unfortunately, we can’t watch from too close.

Seeing it through a hologram is different from seeing it in person.

Under everyone's gaze, time passed slowly.

When it got dark, the atmosphere around the water-facing turtle finally calmed down. It slowly opened its eyes and controlled the water flow to catch the carp above its head.

"……Thanks."

This time it spoke directly.

This was the second time the water-welcoming turtle spoke, but this time it spoke much faster than last time.

——Although it is still very slow compared to the speed of ordinary humans speaking.

"I'm glad you're okay." Yu Lili breathed a sigh of relief. She checked the time and said, "Oh no, it's too late. I have to go back first."

“…Okay.” The water-welcoming turtle nodded. It had grown larger and lay on the bottom of the lake: “Tomorrow… I… have… something… You… don’t… come… to… me… I… will… find… you… when… I… come… back…”

"good."

As soon as Yu Lili emerged from the lake, he met several pairs of eyes.

The carp being stared at said: "..."

She glanced at Ms. You, Rong Jing, Chu Ming, Wang Yun, and Professor Qi and Professor Qiu in turn, and inexplicably felt that the scene was a bit strange.

Why are you all here?

Yu Lili's body was still in the water, with only her head sticking out. She raised her hand hesitantly: "Hello?"

Rong Jing stared at Yu Lili expressionlessly and waved at her: "Come up first."

Yu Lili inexplicably felt a sense of danger, but looking at Rong Jing's expression, her intuition told her that it would be better for her to be obedient for now.

The fish carp that had come ashore was rolled up by Rong Jing in a large, clean rabbit skin. Rong Jing didn't mention the fish carp at this time, but simply said, "Go back first."

Ms. You, who always had a relatively expressionless face, became even more expressionless. She glanced at Yu Lili, then turned and left.

That direction looks like it's heading towards a cave?

Wang Yun continued to be her background board, Chu Ming followed silently, Professor Qiu and Professor Qi were a little curious, but at this time they also knew that it was not their turn to ask, the two discussed it and simply returned to the starship first.

Yu Lili, who was being walked forward by Rong Jing holding her wrist, looked up at Rong Jing's back from time to time, but he couldn't see anything from Rong Jing's background, and couldn't tell whether Rong Jing was angry or not.

What if Rong Jing gets angry?

Yu Lili is thinking about this very serious question.

Today's events were indeed a bit risky, and Yu Lili herself knew it.

But at that time she had no way of ignoring the water turtle. Even if she had considered that Rong Jing would be angry, she would still return to the lake.

When they returned to the cave, Wang Yun and Chu Ming stood outside together.

Then Wang Yun silently opened Yu Lili’s live broadcast room.

There were barrages of comments coming at her, and because there were too many of them blocking her vision, Wang Yun turned them off directly. She now hoped that Rong Jing and Ms. You could teach Yu Lili a lesson and tell her not to take risks without regard for her own safety next time.

But on the other hand, she couldn't bear to let Yu Lili be blamed.

——She had the same mentality as Yu Lili’s fans. She had already been one of Yu Lili’s fans for a long time, but her professional ethics made her keep calm and not show it.

After walking back to the cave from the lake, Yulili's clothes, which had been soaked, were dry.

Rong Jing hung the rabbit skin aside to dry, then looked at Yu Lili again. She sighed, "Lili..."

"I'm here!" Yu Lili responded immediately.

Rong Jing: “…”

She was left amused and confused by Yu Lili's reaction, and didn't know what to say to Yu Lili for a moment.

Ms. You looked at Yu Lili, her face becoming serious. "Do you know how dangerous you are today?"

"...Ah...I understand now." Yu Lili shrank his neck and whispered, "I didn't think so much at the time."

Ms. You likes Yu Lili's innocent heart very much. As long as she includes her as a friend and considers her one of her own, she will do her best to protect her.

But she hopes that Yu Lili can protect herself more.

Although Yu Lili is very lucky and can always turn misfortune into good fortune, what if?

She didn't want to see what would happen.

So even though she felt soft-hearted towards Yu Lili's sincere attitude of admitting her mistakes and her pitiful eyes, she didn't show it. She said calmly, "Think about it carefully. I don't want this to happen again in the future."

"I'll think about it carefully." Yu Lili nodded obediently.

Rong Jing would not be fooled by her well-behaved appearance. She watched coldly as Yu Lili and Ms. You pretended to be well-behaved and cute, and acted coquettishly to get Ms. You through this test. She never intervened.

After Ms. You was coaxed into leaving the cave and returning, she was still staring at Yu Lili.

Yu Lili, who had long felt that he was being watched, said: "..."

She really felt her scalp tingling. She laughed dryly and turned around, only to meet Rong Jing's expressionless face.

Her animal-like instinct kicked in, and she immediately smiled: "Rong Jing, it's so late, you must be tired too, right? How about we rest first?"

"What? You're not hungry after not eating for a day?" Rong Jing sneered.

Yu Lili was resolute: "Of course it's more important for you to get enough rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Lili's stomach growled twice.

Yu Lili: "..."

This is what embarrassing social death feels like, right?

"...Let's eat something." Rong Jing rubbed her brows, lit a fire, and quickly cooked a few simple dishes, which she prepared to eat with the corn buns she had made earlier.

Yu Lili sat obediently, saying nice things without asking for any money: "Rong Jing, you are the best. I know you care about me the most. Don't worry, I will be obedient in the future and will never make you angry."

"Alright." Rong Jing ignored what he said. She took out a portion and said, "Send some to Chu Ming. He hasn't eaten yet."

"Yeah." Yu Lili nodded repeatedly, picked up the things and ran out.

As soon as Yu Lili came out, Chu Ming heard the sound.

He didn't fall asleep so quickly anyway, so he walked out of the small room before Yu Lili knocked on the door.

Seeing the food that Yu Lili was carrying, he was a little surprised: "Rong Jing let you go?"

The author has something to say:

Good night~
