Chapter 17
It had been a whole day and night since Han Yuan had gotten to eat or drink anything One could i that was nearly two Chi1 high, he couldn’t help but s and ask eagerly, “W-what is this?”
“No idea” Yan Zhenglance at Han Yuan “Don’t touch it! Things in the Demon Valley cannot be touched rashly Wipe off your saliva Coo Master must be anxious”
Indeed, it was getting dark and perils lurked everywhere in the De theerous
nobody dared to delay, and everyone set off along the way they came Even the noisiest Han Yuan became mute
Men of the world valued brotherhood loyalty the most He’d forever remember the debt he owed his senior brothers
Seeing they were leaving, the egg didn’t give up It evaded all those obstacles on the way and chased after them insistently
Li Yun looked back and shouted, surprise and suspicion in his voice, “Just whichafter us?”
Cheng Qian, who carried the bear spirit’s fang, coldly said, “Maybe it wants to be a boiled egg”
The egg seee, or perhaps itQian’s words, as it tre back for a erly avoided Cheng Qian, rolled to Yan Zheng’s feet, and stopped there pathetically
Yan Zheng briefly paused and then bypassed it heartlessly But after a few steps, he couldn’t help looking back Somehow, he saw an aura of deep disappointshell
Therefore, youngonce more After a few moments of indecision, he pointed at Han Yuan and said, “You… Ho pick it up”
“Ah? Didn’t you tell me not to touch it?” Han Yuan raised his eyebrows and stared in surprise
Li Yun also didn’t understand, asking, “First Senior Brother, why?”
How should he answer the question?
Yan Zheng pitiable, could he?
Then he had a brainwave and ca Zhenren ask us to take the thing on the Celestial Platform back to her? It’s said that demonic cultivators cannot enter that place, so I assume she herself doesn’t knohat lies there We can use this to fool her”
Having traveled all this way, Li Yun and Cheng Qian were both physically and otten about the deal with Zipeng Zhenren They both agreed to follow this advice after being reminded
But at the same time, they felt that their devil-may-care first senior brother was abnormally meticulous this time
Strangely enough, their journey on the way back had see’s escort They’d kept their guard up the entire time, yet onlyby AfterZhenren’s abode safely
The giant bird was still lying prone there, though the i over its head had disappeared They were at a temporary loss about whether she was asleep or dead
Yan Zhengnal his junior brothers to be quiet and walked forward cautiously to reconnoiter—selfishly, he hoped Zipeng Zhenren was dead so that she wouldn’t give them trouble… but he knew that was almost impossible
All of a sudden, he heard a crack from behind All of them flinched at
the sound Their eyes roved around and fell on Han Yuan…and the egg in his arshell from the top doards
Finally, at the center of the cracks, a piece of eggshell ca wasn’t a beak, but a hand
A baby’s hand
Han Yuan hurriedly placed the egg on the ground, and all four boys gaped at the sight of a baby crawling out of an egg
It was like a chubby meatball and looked not at all different frolance, except that it already had the appearance of a one-year-old mortal infant with two unobtrusive birthmarks on its back
Han Yuan reached with his aze to the part which he shouldn’t be looking at, and irl”
The little baby fell flat on her face from Han Yuan’s poke She tried to move her limbs, only to find she wasn’t asa little upset, she let out a loud bawl
And made the entire place wobble
Han Yuan, as the closest to her, plunked down on the ground and screamed, “What the heck is it?”
“Heavenly Monster,” a weak voice answered him
Zipeng Zhenren had woken up when they weren’t paying attention She hung over the giant bird’s head, as vague as a haze, her outline just faintly visible in her ghostly state
It seeth to round with hed and said softly, “It is the result of the union between the Monster Queen and a ht after its birth Soaking herself in human blood, the Queen hacked her way into the Celestial Platfor sliced into pieces and struck by lightning She died after placing the child there As it is born with half-human blood, the Celestial Platform’s restriction didn’t apply to it For a hundred years this egg has not ht it was stillborn No one could have dreamed that one day, the calamity of the monster species would descend upon her…”
Han Yuan had been befuddled by her narration, but he accurately seized on the point of it all and exclai had been cheated on?”
“You… shut up…!” Yan Zheng hissed faintly
Cheng Qian had listened and understood—they had taken out the “THING” from Celestial Platform by accident
