1623 Eggs of the Dragon and the Phoenix (1/2)
”Stop the nonsense… I didn't eat anything from the dragon or the phoenix…” The old man weakly said, staring at Ye Xiao, ”I am telling the truth. I didn't eat the dragon's liver or the phoenix's guts…”
”I doubt it! I deeply doubt it!” Ye Xiao was angry. ”If you didn't mess with the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, why would they send thousands of men to kill you? Look… Listen… How far away is the Glaze Sky? Who are the Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King? Why would they come all this way to find you if you didn't offend them? Stop lying to me!”
The old man weakly said, ”I… Well… I must have… I definitely didn't eat the dragon's liver or the phoenix's guts…”
”You didn't eat them. Fine. What do you mean?” Ye Xiao was surprised. 'Why does he keep mentioning the liver and the guts?'
”I did not eat any liver or guts…” The old man repeated, but this time, he sounded tougher.
Ye Xiao came up with an idea, and he said, ”You didn't eat any liver or guts… Well… You must have eaten something that you shouldn't have, right? What is it? Say it!”
The old man turned weak as he heard Ye Xiao. With hesitation, he said, ”Well… You're probably going to get something to eat when you are really hungry, don't you? What is wrong about that? Nobody should starve!”
Ye Xiao knew that he had the right guess, so he felt awkward. He said, ”Go on!”
The old man became weaker. ”Well… Is trying to get yourself fed that serious of an offense? I was so hungry… I was starving… And I heard that it was delicious… So… I just… I…”
Ye Xiao kept both of his eyes widely opened. He knew something must have gone wrong. ”Can't you just say it? What was it? What happened? What did you eat? Just say it! Didn't you say you didn't eat any liver or guts? Was it even more serious than liver and guts?”
He was anxious!
”Well, it is not that important… I heard that the phoenix's egg tasted good…” The old man's lips twisted, and he continued, ”So I thought I should get an egg for myself… I was just going after the phoenix egg, not the dragon's egg…”
Ye Xiao was shocked. He stared at the audacious old man. 'Did he mean he took the dragon's egg as well?'
”I didn't think that… Well… The egg… You know… I took the egg that belonged to the Golden Phoenix King…” The old man looked upset. ”I thought it was some egg of some ordinary phoenix…”
”You f*cking bullsh*t!”
Ye Xiao couldn't help it anymore. ”Some egg of some ordinary phoenix? Would you really risk that much to get some ordinary egg?”
He just wanted to scold the old man so much!
”You can't blame me…” The old man said, ”There were two eggs at the same place… A phoenix usually only lays one egg. I saw two eggs… so I guessed those eggs weren't that important…”
Ye Xiao felt something wrong, so he asked, ”Did you say there were two eggs at the same place?”
