"What's wrong?" Cangying saw Yanliu's voice suddenly stop and she stare straight at him. His heart tightened involuntarily, and he opened his mouth cautiously, asking, "Can you tell me?"
Yanliu's eyes were practically glowing with malice. The little green dragon egg had gone too far. Not only did it run away without a sound, but it also wiggled its butt at her.
The egg, about the size of a goose egg, was thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom. It twisted its bottom protruding part as if taunting her; the more she looked at it, the more fiercely it twisted.
Damn it, just like Master said about Jiang Dandan, he is 100% a descendant of that old dragon Bo Jichen, and has absolutely no relation to His Majesty.
Cangying waited a long time for Yanliu's reply, and found that she was staring straight at him, not at him, but at the top of his head.
Cangying hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness Yanliu, what's on my head...?"
"Don't speak, don't move!" Yan Liu suddenly reached out and pressed down on Cangying's shoulder, then stood up abruptly and reached out to scoop up the little green dragon egg.
Unexpectedly, the little green dragon egg, which was wiggling its bottom, had no eyes or ears, but it was very agile and suddenly shot up high.
Yanliu failed to catch anything and was still close to Cangying. The rich plant-based spiritual energy and the fragrance of grass and trees immediately assaulted his nose and body. He reached out and pulled her close: "Be careful!"
In an instant, Yan Liu dodged his hand, tiptoed on the ground, and leaped up to grab the little green dragon egg.
At the same time, Cangying raised his neck and looked up at the sky. He saw a green shadow flash past his eyes and disappear into Yanliu's body.
Yan Liu failed to catch the little green dragon egg, which rolled back down from the back of her collar to her lower abdomen, shrinking and pressing tightly against it.
Cangying stared at Yanliu with sharp, intense eyes: "Your Highness Yanliu, something fell on you. Do you feel any discomfort?"
Yan Liu patted her lower abdomen, landing on the little green dragon egg, and took a step back to distance herself from Cangying: "Something fell on me. You must have seen wrong. I didn't feel anything at all."
Cangying narrowed his golden black eyes, his sharp gaze falling on her hands: "Your Highness Yanliu, a dragon's eyes can see as clearly as day in the dark!"
His implication was that we should not deceive him. Even in the darkest night, with the presence of lamplight and moonlight, his eyes could see everything as clearly as in daylight.
“I said no, so it is.” Yan Liu’s voice turned cold: “I don’t know my own body, so how could you possibly know?”
Cangying's gaze remained fixed on her hand, as if trying to see through it to discern what she was protecting: "Your Highness Yanliu, I mean no harm. Earth has existed for over 3,000 years, and there are still too many unknowns."
Yan Liu smiled and said, "Even if there are too many unknowns, those unknowns won't dare to mess with me. Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it. Go to sleep early."
She'll make stewed eggs when she gets back. Little Green Dragon Egg, she hasn't even figured out how to incubate the eggs for Cangying yet, and it's already run out on its own. It seems she has to teach it a lesson, or it won't know who's the boss in this house.
"The dragon egg has hatched, hasn't it?" Cangying asked Yanliu's retreating figure.
Yan Liu paused, an idea forming in her mind. She used her hand to pry the small green dragon egg off her stomach, then turned her head away, saying, "What dragon egg? There's no dragon egg, only a green-shelled bird egg!"
As Yanliu spoke, she tossed the tiny green dragon egg, no bigger than a quail, into the air and caught it. Her posture was casual, and her egg-throwing style was unrestrained, showing that she didn't take the tiny green dragon egg seriously at all.
Cangying's pupils suddenly constricted, her gaze fixed on the egg that had been thrown into the air and landed in her hand. The egg was blue all over with patterns, and it showed no signs of spiritual energy or life force fluctuations, appearing to be just an ordinary egg.
But Cangying knew it was no ordinary egg, absolutely no ordinary egg.
A strange feeling swept through Cangying's heart. His heart raced, his throat tightened, and he slowly lifted his foot, walked towards Yanliu, and stretched out his hand: "Could you let me take a look at it?"
Yanliu slapped the little green dragon egg into his hand and said, pretending not to care, "It's just an ordinary barley bird egg. I'll show it to you. It's no big deal."
Little Green Dragon Egg: "..."
Why slap it so hard?
My brain is practically scrambled together.
After Cangying obtained the little green dragon egg, even though his eyesight was as good as day, he still concentrated his spiritual power. This spiritual power could not only provide illumination but also envelop the little green dragon egg.
The little green dragon egg was enveloped in white, transparent, and tangible spiritual energy, feeling as comfortable as if it were swimming in its father's belly, chuckling happily and contentedly.
"What are you doing?" Yan Liu knew about dragon fishing: "It's just an ordinary bird egg. If you like, I'll get you two more."
Cangying's spiritual power suddenly amplified, and he raised his eyelids to look directly into Yanliu's eyes, asking hesitantly, "You...you can give me two more eggs like these?"
With a thud, Yanliu accidentally dropped a stone on her foot, but she was quick-witted and scooped up the little green dragon egg. Ignoring the pain in her foot, she continued fishing for dragons: "Let me tell you, this egg fell out of nowhere and has been with me for several days. I still don't know how to hatch it. Why don't you hatch it for me, and I'll get you two more?"
Cangying held no small green dragon egg in her hand, her fingers slowly tightening: "It's been with you for several days now. Did it appear four days ago?"
Yan Liu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then deliberately gave an ambiguous answer: "I forgot whether it appeared three and a half days or four days ago, but when I woke up, I saw it lying between Jiang Yihe and Jiang Yinuo."
"But it was bigger back then than it is now. It's a little smaller now. It's because it can grow big or small that I didn't stew it and kept it. I thought it would definitely hatch some kind of bird that dominates the sky and become my mount or something."
Cangying exclaimed, "You want to stew it?"
Yan Liu nodded and said most sincerely, "Yes, an egg just appeared out of nowhere. It's just a person's conditioned reflex to either boil it or stew it. What's so strange about that!"
Cangying's lips twitched slightly, and she almost blurted out that the egg in Yanliu's hand, which was about the size of a quail egg, was a dragon egg, a dragon egg that could grow big or small, and that had been prematurely laid.
To make it believable, Yanliu paused after speaking and then said, "Little golden dragon cub, you are a dragon, not a human. Don't you know that when we humans, especially our Huaxia people, see a new species, our first reaction is, 'Can we eat it? Is it tasty?'"
"As someone with the blood of the Han Chinese, I've inherited their fine traditions. The first thing I thought about when I saw this egg was whether it would be best stewed, boiled, fried, or stir-fried!"
"Of course, the egg is a bit small, but it can grow bigger, right? When it grows bigger, it can make a whole plate of stir-fried eggs with green peppers, stir-fried eggs with celery, stir-fried eggs with edamame, stir-fried eggs with broad beans, poached eggs, and boiled eggs, right?"
Cangying listened with trepidation and his heart tightened. Four days ago, when he was on the spaceship, he sensed the dragon cub's distress signals twice. He figured that the dragon egg must have hatched after those two times.
If we calculate it that way, this dragon egg is premature, less than six months premature, no, less than four months premature.
Such a premature dragon egg should not be able to survive, but it seems very lively. However, he could not sense any spiritual power or any signs of life in it.
But it absorbed his spiritual power, which means that it is still alive, that it will not die, and that even though it was born prematurely, it is still struggling to live.
Cangying's thin lips trembled slightly, and his voice shook: "Your Highness Yanliu, may I have this egg?"
"Give it to you?" Yan Liu suddenly tightened her grip on the egg, reminding Cangying, "Little golden dragon cub, this is my egg. I found it in my room. Why should I give it to you?"
Yanliu was unaware that this was a dragon egg she had laid; she believed that the egg had inexplicably appeared in her room.
That's true. For normal people, pregnancy and childbirth are life-threatening experiences. But dragon eggs are different; some dragon eggs are so sensitive that the mother doesn't feel anything at all.
He didn't want to alert her, so he didn't hatch the egg and let Yanliu know that it was a premature egg, that it was her child.
Otherwise, a mother will be sad and heartbroken if she cannot protect her child.
Cangying calmed himself down, lowered his voice, and said to Yanliu in a thoughtful tone, "Yes, this is your egg, your egg. I won't take it from you."
"What I meant when I said I could have this egg was, if you give me this egg, I can help you hatch it!"
