A bucket of water was finally filled, Shi Zanxue lifted it, scooped out a ladleful and handed it to Lu Yuque, who drank it beautifully and sighed in comfort.
"When it's not contaminated, the water in this pond is the sweetest." Shi Zanxue smiled, turned around and returned the way she came, "But I don't know how many days it can last. As the contamination worsens, there will come a day when the disciples of artifact refining will find their methods ineffective."
"Then drink more while you can, drink until you're full." Lu Yuque jumped beside her and laughed.
"Well, that's a good way too." Shi Zanxue nodded.
The two of them walked back side by side, and on the return journey the moon came out, the edge of Lanzhu Pool was still lined up with a long queue.
"Tianshan doesn't seem to be that cold." As they returned to the settlement, Lu Yuque suddenly said.
