Chapter 36 - The Egg is Laid, You Can Leave (2/2)

The void beast gloated and said with a smile, “Look at your reaction, I didn’t have the heart to tell you that you were going to birth an egg this morning, hum~”

Nan Xun ignored little eight. She touched the egg in her hand, rubbed the eggshell and carefully placed it in the basket and covered the egg with a small handkerchief.

The next day, Nan Xun made ten egg blankets, each made with good quality fabric.

Nan Xun placed the egg within the blanket, revealing only half the egg.

Seeing that the egg’s surface was too smooth and monotonous, Nan Xun was very playful. With a pen, she drew a pair of big cartoon eyes, a nose and a mouth on the egg exposed from the blanket, with a small tongue sticking out of the mouth, it was especially cute.

The void beast: …

“Now that the egg is laid, we should go.” The void beast reminded her.

Nan Xun replied, “But it hasn’t broken through the shell yet.”

The void beast sneered, “Do you want to wait until it breaks from its shell? How clever is the Demon King’s son? He guessed that you would leave without him breaking his shell. If he doesn’t break his shell for hundreds of years, will you wait for hundreds of years?”

Nan Xun was stunned, and her eyes were bright, “Little eight, do you mean that this egg has its own consciousness? What’s more, how do you know that the egg is a boy?”

The void beast pretended it was dead. It was tired and didn’t want to talk.

Since then, Nan Xun has started her life with the slippery egg. During the day, she hung the egg in the blanket around her waist and goes out for a walk when she has nothing to do. At night, she held the egg in her arms and told stories.

Later, Nan Xun discovered that her family’s egg was very clever. It likes to wear blankets made of snow silk and being washed with Lingquan water best. He doesn’t like the faces that she painted on. When he has time, he will rub it off on the blanket.

So, after a year, Nan Xun sighed and said, “I believe you little eight, this egg is being intentional, I think. When I finish one last thing, we will leave.”

“What do you want to do?” The void beast asked.

Nan Xun said, “I want to give some virtue for my family’s egg because it is heavy from all the killings his father done. At present, the evil spirit in that battlefield has yet to disperse. If we go on like this, there will be resentment. I want to seal that battlefield.”

The void beast yelled, “What are you really so great? Do you know how big the battlefield is? How would you seal it!”

Nan Xun smiled, “there is a secret method from the heritage of the Zuili, which can seal a space into a secret place.”

So, Nan Xun went to the battlefield alone.

After three days and three nights, Nan Xun finally succeeded in sealing the whole battlefield, and it was locked away in a jade slip.

After thinking about it, Nan Xun broke the jade slip into two halves, leaving a small piece for herself and the remaining to the Zuili family.

She was thinking, to not place it with the egg in the basket, in case the jade slip was obtained by people with ill-intentions and try to open the secret place, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, Nan Xun almost spat out blood after hearing little eight’s words.

For some reason, the half jade slip she handed over to her mother was divided in half and one piece was with the dragon beast clan while the other with the black Divine Serpent.

“It’s okay. Hei Ze has been seriously injured and half-dead. He’s useless and let alone the dragon beasts. Their old ancestor, the Qinglong is dead, the rest are not good, and they were cursed by the Demon King. One day they will perish.” The void beast said.

Nan Xun nodded and felt that she could die with ease.
