Chapter 76: sThis gentleman, have you been married?” (1/2)

Translator: Claire.KK

Black Egg flew over the Little Yanyang Palace and looked ahead, finding a gang of people attacking a cultivator together. Both of the two parts were inextricably involved. The little Yanyang Palace stopped for a while and simply adjusted its direction; then it directly dashed to those people and rolled them over.

Black Egg clapped its wings and quickly returned to give a report. However, just as it flew to the window, Gu Yunjue had sat beside Mu Chen while rolling the egg for him and saying, “So many people know that this place is the key road from the secret boundary to the next town. They believe they can make the most of the situation and get some money by robbing some wounded cultivators. This must be the reason why it’s so noisy outside now.”

“Em,” Mu Chen agreed in a light voice. He felt a bit awkward and just wanted to take the egg back without looking at Gu Yunjue.

Black Egg blinked, being aware of the fact that it did nothing meaningful. It was even useless in guarding, and the only thing it could do was no other than brooding the egg, which made it feel its life twisted. Besides, it also felt so confused about what had happened to the master and his disciple when it was sleeping in the spirit pet bag. Why did its masters get along with each other in such a strange way now?

Black Egg’s mind was filled with questions and curiosity!

Apparently, Gu Yunjue had no intention to give the egg back to Mu Chen. The only thing he wanted to do was to touch up his master but Mu Chen was trying to dodge. Meanwhile, neither of them paid any attention to the egg in their hands. Gu Yunjue finally grabbed Mu Chen’s hands but he exerted too much strength. Crack! The eggshell was broken. They didn’t know whether it was because Gu Yunjue broke the egg or it was the time for the egg to hatch. They could only see that viscous egg white coming out.

Mu threw it to Gu Yunjue and Gu Yunjue suddenly lurched. The egg felled on the feet of Black Egg and the eggshell finally crackled. Afterwards, a little creature came out, looking up and down the outdoor world.

Seeing clearly what the thing is, Mu Chen opened his eyes in surprise, as if he was struck by lightning. He had nearly forgotten that his hand was held by Gu Yunjue because he was so surprised at seeing the creature bald!

Black Egg looked down at it and got astonished too! As a male Golden Crow that came from the abyss, Black Egg had never thought that it would hatch a thing with a shell.

Gu Yunjue blinked and turned his eyes to Mu Chen whose face was filled with surprise. Then he couldn’t help bursting into laughter saying, “It turns to be a turtle!”

Mu Chen’s eyelids were twitching. No one could know how disappointed he was now.

As the turtle was hatched, its shell had been as big as a round plate. Its legs were brawny. Tiny scales covered its head, tail and legs. There were brown stripes on its head and neck, which looked like a kind of regular pattern. The shell of the turtle was pretty golden. It became as gorgeous as a bright gold when the sun shone on it.

The little turtle looked up at Black Egg, who was nearest to it, realizing that this must be its “mother” who had been hatching it for so long. So it slowly stepped to Black Egg and intimately rubbed itself against Black Egg’s belly.

Black Egg’s golden feather on its head bristled as soon as the little thing touched it. It couldn’t believe what was happening!

Mu Chen twitched his lips as he saw that. They had paid great efforts but what they got in the end was no other than a silly turtle which was not able to discriminate species. It seemed to be a slow coach, which made the scene funny when it stood with Black Egg.

“It’s Black Egg who hatched the little thing, so Black Egg should be in charge of looking after it,” uttered Mu Chen without hesitation.

“No, Palace Master! What does the golden turtle eat? Need I catch worms for it?” cried Black Egg at the top of its voice. Thinking that it would be like a canary and got into different tree holes to look for worms for a starving baby turtle, Black Egg almost went crazy!

Before Mu Chen responded, Gu Yunjue added, “There must be some problems during the process of your hatching. Just do as what Master said. Why do you have so many things to complain?”

Black Egg got silent for a while and averted its sad eyes to Gu Yunjue. Soon after, it silently held the golden turtle’s tail with its beak and left, wagging its body. Its receding figure showed how hopeless it was. Black Egg believed that it must be the most aggrieved immortal beast in the history as its master put his master first all the time!

Just as Black Egg took a few steps, it heard Gu Yunjue suddenly said, “Master, shall we give it a name first?”

Mu Chen paused for a while and then replied, “How about Golden Egg?”

“This name is perfectly suitable for its appearance. What a great name!” said Gu Yunjue in a serious voice.

Black egg felt that it couldn’t even walk steadily as it had realized that its master might have been crazy!

On the road to the north, Golden Egg ate a lot but it still kept small. It ate everything Black Egg gave it, including meat, fish, potherbs and it even bit the bark when it was hungry. Black Egg always held its little tail in its mouth, being afraid that the little turtle would bite the Fragrance Tree one day that Mu Chen cherished so much.

It was obvious that the turtle was not a normal one. Black Egg had ever flew to the upper air with the little turtle in its mouth and then let it plunge ten thousand meters to the ground, but its shell just kept perfectly well like nothing had happened. What’s more, Golden Egg could take off its shell easily as taking off a vest. Sometimes, it would put it on with the wrong side out. Black Egg taught it a series of turtle boxing to let it do some exercise to avoid being too fat. However, Golden Egg remained unmoved by Black Egg’s words. Sometimes it would took a long time to make a reaction.

This kind of intelligence made Black Egg so depressed that it even felt its head was going to be bald. It believed its life would never be the promising one as it had imagined, in which it would be the king of birds and even the phoenix would respect it.

But now its unscrupulous master gave it a fatal blow again. Gu Yunjue bought all those cute spirit pets on the road as soon as he saw them, totally ignoring what kinds of species they were. He even bought a brood of chicks. Once Mu Chen nodded his head, Black Egg would get one or even more little brothers. After that, Black Egg had become the leader of these spirit pets and even their full-time father.

In order to get the Ice Soul Pearl as soon as possible, Mu Chen didn’t lose any time and kept hurrying on his journey. Seeing Black Egg hanging the spirit pet bag on its neck all the time, Mu Chen finally couldn’t stand it anymore and showed pity to Black Egg. Then he commanded Gu Yunjue that he shouldn’t buy things so randomly. Furthermore, all the spirit pets were set free except for Golden Egg, which saved Black Egg’s life as a demon father.
