70 Fox and Egg

Fox and Egg

Someone once asked her this: You grew up under Mo Jinghong's wing, Qinglai is your home, Mo Jinghong committed a serious crime, which led to the destruction of Qinglai, and your home is gone, aren't you sad?

In response to this, Ming Jinshu gave the following answer: Wherever my senior sister is, that is my home.

Unfortunately, Hua Luodeng didn't buy it. When she heard the news about Murong Jun, she still left her behind and ran away without hesitation.

While Ming Jinshu was cracking melon seeds, he accidentally heard that there was a new Demon Lord in the Demon Clan and that a passage from Zhongzhou to the Demon Realm had been built. Ming Jinshu immediately spat out the melon seed shell and decided to take the initiative. He would first look for Murong Jun and then take the opportunity to capture Hua Luodeng.

After successfully sneaking into the demon world, Ming Jinshu wandered around for a few days and successfully found the most prosperous mansion. He wandered around in this mansion all night, and after roughly figuring out the location of the main house, Ming Jinshu sneaked into the house.

There were some books scattered on the ground. Ming Jinshu picked one up and took a look. They were all names. He turned to the cover and saw a few big words: "Demon World Promotion and Commendation Personnel"

The next line of small print is: List of Little Red Flower personnel.

Ming Jinshu:?

Although it is strange, it seems that this is indeed Murong Jun's room.

Ming Jinshu looked around the room and walked into the inner room without any hesitation. Looking at the childish dolls and the doll clothes hanging all over the wall, she severely despised Murong Jun's aesthetic taste.

After casually commenting on the furnishings in the room, her eyes fell on the half-open bed.

There was a pitch-black object on the bed. Ming Jinshu was suspicious when she saw it move. She walked a few steps closer to take a look at the thing, and saw two eyeballs suddenly emerge from the dark mass.

"Is it a demon?"

She acted decisively and pounced directly onto the bed, trying to catch the ball. Unfortunately, although it looked clumsy, it was actually as nimble as a fish. She rolled on the bed several times and it slipped out of her hands several times before she finally managed to hold it tightly with great effort.

"Shh! If you dare to scream, I'll hit you!"

"Are you Murong Yun's pet demon? Can you transform into a human?"

"Where is Murong Jun? Or have you ever seen a strange woman chasing people around with a sword?"

Before she could figure out the origin of this monster, she heard faint footsteps coming from outside the house.

Ming Jinshu moved and instantly hid on the beam behind the screen. She held her breath and tried to observe the person through the screen.

Unfortunately, this was obviously a man, not Murong Jun or Hua Luodeng she was waiting for.

As soon as the man walked into the house, he went straight to the inner room, "Master, it's time to get up."

At this moment, there seemed to be some movement on the other side of the bed, and a female voice rang out, "What time is it?"

Ming Jinshu couldn't believe it. When did this extra person appear in the room? Or... there was actually someone on the bed? And she'd fought this monster for several rounds in bed without even alerting her?!

The male voice replied to her, and then, accompanied by the rustling sounds of people getting dressed, the two chatted intermittently. Suddenly, the female voice became alert, "No!"

Ming Jinshu's heart skipped a beat. Was he discovered?!

"Where did this egg come from?"

"Come over here and take a look. Why is there this thing on the bed?"

Ming Jinshu recalled that when he entered the demon world, he tried to obtain some information by eavesdropping on the conversations of a male and a female demon. Not only did he feel his head was filled with either salty or bland eggs, but he was also forced to eat an egg.

She was already feeling guilty about sneaking into the demon world, and she was caught eavesdropping. She couldn't refuse, so she could only put the egg in her arms. She must have accidentally dropped it on the bed in the chaos!

Oops, they found the flaw!

Hua Lang asked suspiciously, "Is this the breakfast you bought? Why did you put it on the bed?"

"Breakfast is clearly on the table," Xie Hanjing was also quite puzzled. He pondered, "When I got up half an hour ago, there didn't seem to be anything like this on the bed."

Hua Lang's face was solemn. She held up the fist-sized egg, looking left and right. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Suddenly, an idea struck her, "Do you think it's possible that I laid this egg? Is there any history, story, or legend about your Sky Foxes laying eggs?"

Xie Hanjing thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head honestly, "I've never heard of it."

He took the egg from Hua Lang's arms, studied it for a moment, and said, "It looks like the Blood Ghost Egg sold in the shop at the city gate."

Hua Lang also had an impression of this shop. To be more precise, it was an impressive one. He was caught by the female demon selling pickled eggs twice when he entered the demon world.

A month ago, Xie Hanjing went to their store and bought breakfast for Hua Lang. After that, the store was extremely servile and delivered breakfast to the mansion every day. This time, the egg was probably accidentally dropped on the bed.

Hua Lang had to lean towards this more realistic possibility, "Maybe he brought it in with him during breakfast yesterday, and it got pushed onto the bed by the coal."

Thinking of this, her maternal love suddenly dissipated, and she lost interest in the egg. Seeing Xie Hanjing frequently looking behind the screen, Hua Lang took the egg and said, "Speaking of coal, go and take a look. It seems to be in her hand."

Xie Han nodded in surprise and stepped behind the screen. Hua Lang picked up the egg and knocked it against the edge of the bed - it didn't break.

Hua Lang:?

She didn't believe it, so she increased the force and knocked it a few more times - still no break.

Hua Lang:? ?

When did the blood ghost egg, which shatters at the slightest touch and is the reason why the banshee frequently scams passers-by who have just entered the demon world, become so strong?

"Why is it you?!"

"Is it you?"

Two voices rang out simultaneously. Hua Lang no longer cared about studying the breakfast. She stood up and rushed behind the screen, and immediately exclaimed, "Senior Sister?!"

…

"Junior Sister," after they had confirmed their identities, Ming Jinshu looked at the egg in her hand and coughed guiltily. She handed the coal to Hua Lang and took the breakfast egg. "I dropped this thing by accident. At that time, I thought you were going to find it. It was all a misunderstanding, hahaha."

Although Hua Lang had noticed someone breaking in a long time ago, he never expected that it would be his senior sister whom he had not seen for many years. He had long forgotten about the pickled eggs. The two looked at each other with tears in their eyes and got closer and closer under Xie Hanjing's gaze.

"Senior Sister!"

"Junior Sister!"

"I miss you so much!"

Ming Jinshu couldn't control her emotions. She threw the egg casually. The egg drew a smooth arc in the air and finally rolled into an unknown corner with a "gurgle".

The two finally hugged each other tightly and seamlessly.

"Crack!" The crisp sound of the eggshell breaking was heard.

"Hiss, it hurts. Senior Sister, what did you put in your arms?"

Hua Lang asked, covering his painful chest.

Ming Jinshu patted her shoulder vigorously, took out the broken Blood Ghost Egg, and said nonchalantly, "It's the pickled egg that someone gave me when I entered the Demon Realm."

…

…

…

"That's not right. The egg is on me. Then what did I just throw away?"

…

…

…

Hua Lang was horrified, "My eggs!"

Foxes don't lay eggs, but butterflies do!

The three of them searched for a while, and it was Coal that found the weathered egg in the corner.

While checking whether the eggshell was broken, Hua Lang pushed Xie Hanjing to the bed to see if there were any other eggs. If she remembered correctly, butterflies seemed to lay more than one egg at a time.

Xie Hanjing didn't hesitate at all. He carefully turned the entire bed over and searched every corner before confirming, "Master, there are no other eggs."

Hua Lang held the egg distressedly, her joy turning into sadness. "What should I do? I just hit it so many times. What if it doesn't hatch? Even if it does, what if it's a fool?!"

Xie Hanjing hugged Hua Lang and whispered to him, "Since it hasn't broken yet, it will definitely hatch. Its talent will inherit both of ours. Even if it's stupid, it will definitely get better after a few years of training."

Ming Jinshu twitched her lips. She really didn't understand how things had turned out like this—why were these two people suddenly clinging to a pickled egg and refusing to let go?!

She tried to spread some physiological knowledge, "Junior sister, it's impossible for humans to lay eggs, let alone a pickled egg."

Hua Lang shook her head, her expression sorrowful. "No, Senior Sister, you don't understand at all. It's not an egg, nor a pickled egg. It's a butterfly egg!"

Ming Jinshu: Is there any essential difference? Can humans lay butterfly eggs?!

Hua Lang suddenly thought of something. She grabbed the corner of Xie Hanjing's clothes and said, "Oh, right, could there be a caterpillar in here?"

Thinking of the appearance of the caterpillar, the maternal love that was overflowing just now suddenly dried up.

“…”

Thinking of this possibility, Xie Hanjing fell silent.

Hua Lang found it hard to accept, his eyes lost their luster in an instant, and he collapsed on Xie Hanjing.

Xie Han was shocked and quickly changed his words, "Master, I just remembered that there is a similar legend in our clan. Foxes can also lay eggs. There must be a little fox in here!"

…

Hua Luoming listened silently and killed the monster that blocked her way. When Ming Jinshu thought she hadn't heard anything, she spoke:

"So, is that a pickled egg, or a caterpillar, or... is it really a little fox?"

Ming Jinshu was afraid that she would disappear again, so she smiled and said, "Senior Sister, as long as you don't leave me to fight with someone again, I will definitely tell you everything that happens next."
