Chapter 186 - INSIDE THE BLACK EGG IS... (2/2)

”As if you can defeat me,” Su Yuqi responded mockingly.

”Hey--!”

”I agree with Yuqi,” Shen Ji Yun injected.

”Wait- which one did you agree with?” Bai Ze asked.  ”The one about Xiao Ye or the one about me not being able to defeat her?”

”Both,” Shen Ji Yun answered straightforwardly without even batting an eye.

This time, it was Luo Yan who laughed.  It was truly fun to watch whenever the three interacted.  Because it showed how close they were.

Shen Ji Yun stared at the rabbit's smiling face.  Maybe he should tell Bai Ze to make a fool of himself more often when they're together with Luo Yan.  That way, he could see him laugh so freely.

Seeing the interaction of the three, Luo Yan suddenly thought of something.  ”Sister Yuqi also lives in B City, right?” he asked Su Yuqi.

Su Yuqi nodded.  ”That's right.”

”Then can Brother Ji Yun and Sister Yuqi visit us at the Bai household before we return to S City on Sunday?” Luo Yan suggested.  ”That way, the five of us can officially meet.”

”I'll go,” Shen Ji Yun said, as if he couldn't wait to tell everyone his answer.  Which was true in a sense.  Since he's already planning to visit anyway.

Bai Ze glanced at Shen Ji Yun.  What's up with this guy?  It might not be so obvious, but he could tell that Shen Ji Yun was really excited right now.  Did he want to meet his cousins that badly?

He just ignored it and turned his attention back to Luo Yan.  ”That's a brilliant idea, Xiao Yan.”

”I also don't mind going.  I live pretty close to Bai Ze anyway,” Su Yuqi said.

Luo Jin originally wanted to refuse.  Why did they have to let this Shen Ji Yun guy visit them?  It's already annoying seeing his expressionless mug in VR, now they had to see it in reality too?  But when he heard Su Yuqi's answer, he could only shut his mouth.

”Great!” Luo Yan happily clapped his hands.

Then, all of a sudden, the black egg on the table started to shake.  Luo Yan thought it was just his imagination.  But when it shook even harder, he knew that it's definitely not.

”Is this guy going to hatch?” Bai Ze asked, staring at the black egg.

”Duh, what else could it be?” Su Yuqi said sarcastically.

Bai Ze wanted to say a snappy comeback when the egg was suddenly surrounded by a dark shadow.  So his attention was pulled back to it once again.  ”Is this something normal?”

Luo Yan unknowingly looked at Shen Ji Yun.  He didn't know why.  Probably to seek for an answer.  Or maybe… reassurance?  Which the other gave.  Shen Ji Yun nodded at him.  His expression was still non-existent but his blue eyes were silently telling him that 'it's okay'.  And surprisingly, he truly felt that it would really be okay.

So he put his attention back to his Little Ancestor.

The dark shadow started to recede.  When it completely disappeared, the egg started to crack.  Slowly from the top to the bottom.  A small black paw kicked the egg shell and the crack became even larger.  Until the black egg completely cracked.

What's inside was a small black puppy.  No- wait, that's not right.  It's not a puppy but a baby fox with three fluffy tails behind it.  The fox's fur was so black that it almost seemed like black ink would seep out of it.  But there were parts that were striated with silver.  That just added to its charm.  And lastly, there was a spherical dark blue gem embedded on its forehead.

The baby fox slowly opened its eyes.  The pair of eyes were almost similar to the brightest blue sapphire.  It stared at Luo Yan and blinked its eyes slowly.  It tilted its head and then it squeaked.  And Luo Yan was sure he heard the word;
