Chapter 167 - WHY LITTLE ANCESTOR TURNED BLACK (2/2)

Before he could ponder on that thought, Shen Ji Yun already spoke.

”How many percent was the egg's status of hatching?” he asked.

”95%,” Luo Yan answered quickly.  Looking at Shen Ji Yun's thoughtful expression, it seemed like he already got an answer to the egg's situation from whoever he just contacted.  ”Is something wrong with my Little Ancestor?”

The corner of Shen Ji Yun's lips twitched when he once again heard the rabbit's nickname for the egg.  ”None.  According to the person I just asked, the incubator disappeared because the egg's Mana was too much for it to hold.”

Okay.  Luo Yan was a bit relieved when he heard that there was nothing wrong with the egg.  ”Then, why did it turn black all of a sudden?”

”Remember how you fed the egg with a huge amount of Mana using the [Ambrosia Pod]?  The sudden surge of Mana triggered a mutation in the egg – more specifically, the beast inside the egg.  The direction of the mutation depended on the Mana of the one who'd been feeding it.  You.”

Luo Yan digested Shen Ji Yun's explanation.  ”What does it have to do with my Mana?”

”Do you perhaps have an affinity with a certain element?”

It's something very uncommon.  But there were some races that had affinity to certain elements.  The Angels for example had extremely high affinity with the light element.

With that question, Luo Yan quickly understood what Shen Ji Yun was trying to say.  ”Shadow,” he said.

He looked at the black egg.  So his Little Ancestor mutated because of the sudden urge of Mana from being soaked in the [Ambrosia Pod].  And then it tried to complement his Mana and thus, turning completely black.

He lifted the egg.  [So, Little Ancestor, what did you mutate into?  You didn't became some deformed beast, right?  Right?]

As if answering him, the egg trembled a little.

He raised one of his brows.  Did this egg understood what he was just thinking?

”You can no longer put it in an incubator.  Nor can you put it in your Items Tab.  That means that you have to carry it around with you until it hatches.  Which, based on the status of hatching, is not very far off,” Shen Ji Yun said.

”But what shall I do once I log out of the game?”

”You don't have to worry about that.  It will automatically enter a suspended state once you log out.  Then return back to normal once you log in again.  This way, you can be sure that you're around when it hatches,” Shen Ji Yun explained.  ”I suggest you leave it at your room at the palace,” he continued, referring to their team's headquarters.

When Luo Yan and Luo Jin joined the team, they were also given their own rooms in the palace.  Luo Yan hadn't had the time to use his.  He hadn't even bothered to decorate it or something.  It seemed like it finally now had its used.

”Okay,” Luo Yan.  ”Could Brother Ji Yun relay my thanks to the person you asked about this problem?  Please tell him 'thank you for his fast response'.”

Shen Ji Yun only nodded.  ”Do you plan to go back to the palace now?”

”No way,” Luo Yan quickly answered.  ”Does Brother Ji Yun not see the cakes on our table?  I still have to eat them all.  And then line up again to eat some more.”

After he said that, he put the big black egg on his lap and then started eating another slice of cake.

Shen Ji Yun watched Luo Yan stuffed himself with one cake after another.  His white cheeks bulging like a pouch.  He looked like a rabbit nibbling on his food.  He suddenly had the urge to take a screenshot of this scene.

And so he did.
