Chapter 246 - The Hatched Egg (2/2)
“Oh, I’m Shen Ying.” Shen Ying replied casually, deep in thought as she continued to look at the egg in her hand.
“Daoist Shen!” Long Zhen had a look of gratitude as she looked at the child in her arms. “If you don’t dislike it, could you stay in the Dragon Palace for a few more days? I would like to thank you on behalf of my son.”
“No need.” She glanced at the child in Long Zhen’s arms and replied, “I still have a person to look for.”
“Oh, who are you searching for? Perhaps my Dragon Abyss could be of assistance.”
“Oh, really?”
“Naturally!”
“I’m looking for…”
“Exalted Goddess…” They had not finished speaking when the black dragon suddenly interrupted bitterly, “We’re in no hurry to look for people, so can you not step on me while you two speak? I’m still on the ground!”
Shen Ying: “…”
Long Zhen: “…”
When did he lie on the ground?
The two of them then moved their legs. Long Zhen remembered her son in her hands and asked, “Fellow Daoist Shen, my son is too weak now. Allow me to carry him down to recuperate, I’ll discuss the search with you in detail later on?”
“Sure!” Shen Ying nodded.
Long Zhen then picked up her son and turned around, instructing the maid outside. She was about to bring her son to the back palace, but she suddenly stopped and lowered her head. Her son, who had been sleeping had opened his eyes abruptly and stretched out a hand to grab Shen Ying’s sleeve.
“Son, this is…”
Shen Ying felt a tug on her sleeve and she faltered. “What?” She was about to retract her hand, but the little child grabbed on even harder. He anxiously opened his mouth, as though using all his effort to try to make a sound. After awhile, he finally managed to force out a word. “Mas… ter.”
Shen Ying: “…”
Long Zhen: “…”
The black dragon: “…”
What was going on?
The three of them were astonished, even Long Zhen was lost. She did not understand why her son suddenly called her Master, but she did not object against it and smiled. “It looks like my son has affinity with you, I will have to prepare a large gift.”
The black dragon also mumbled, “This little fellow sure is a sweet-talker.” He knew how to cozy up to someone powerful from birth.
However, Shen Ying frowned and looked closely at the skinny figure and suddenly said, “Chef?”
The child’s eyes lit up, like starlight had been poured into them.
He really was!
(⊙ o ⊙)
She held him by his little hand and tilted her head. “Can you still cook?”
The child who had just woken up faltered. His little face puffed up and he said in a pronounced voice, unlike his weak call of Master. “Yes!”
Great chef!
Long Zhen: “…”
The black dragon: “…”
What did she say just now, why could they not understand a word of it?
