Chapter 371 The Real World (I)
In the real world, it has been less than half a month since Nan Huan entered the game, and less than three and a half months since Bei Xi entered the game. When she saw the gray-haired old butler, she had the illusion that she was in another world.
In order to prevent the old housekeeper from being frightened, Bei Xi had to make an excuse and found a very good doctor for Nan Huan to isolate and treat him. Soon, the other party would be able to go home, which made the old man finally feel relieved.
Apart from taking care of her business and suffering from harassment from the Heavenly Dao from time to time, the rest of her focus is all on the egg. Since bringing her back to the real world, Bei Xi can clearly feel that the other party is in a good mood, especially after returning to a familiar place.
Although she knew that this was difficult to understand, after all, it was difficult for normal people to feel the mood changes of an egg, but perhaps because there was a fragment of Shenqi's heart in her body, so this subtle connection was only felt by her.
But apart from this connection and the heart beating occasionally, the egg has not changed at all. Bei Xi has been obviously a little anxious in the past two days.
Because she was an egg, not a small animal or a plant, she did not need any other care, and she didn't even need to eat. Although Bei Xi was very patient and talked to her every day, she was still unsure about this unknown situation. One day, she finally met Tiandao who came to ask for money, so she caught him and wouldn't let him go.
Yes, you heard it right, and you saw it right. The Heavenly Dao really came to ask for money.
After all, after so many years, it finally unloaded its burden. It also felt novel that human society had developed to this level. It could even get rid of that invisible force, become an ordinary person, and appreciate this beautiful world up close.
But as long as one becomes a human being, one will be constrained by money, and even the laws of nature are no exception. Fortunately, the Nan family is very wealthy. She was a little embarrassed at first, but recently she has become more and more thick-skinned, and even asked Bei Xi to arrange for her to join the Nan family's company to experience the working culture.
Although she had only been to the company a few times as Beixi's assistant, Linda, she became more and more skilled in asking Beixi for money.
"Tell me the truth, did you team up with Anan to deceive me?" Linda was caught by Beixi that day. Uncle Nan thought that the two of them were talking about something important in the study room with the door closed, but he didn't know that they were both bent over, carefully observing the egg on the desk. "Could it be that you found a rotten stone from somewhere and deceived me?"
Bei Xi's tone was a little irritable. He held a bank card in his hand and glared at Linda in a bad tone.
Linda was confused by her paranoid mentality. She looked at her bank card in Beixi's hand and finally rolled her eyes and sat down on the chair. "What are you crazy about? A few days ago, you asked me if I took this egg out of the nest of some ancient beast?"
The two of them were already familiar with each other and had had face-to-face conversations more than once, so they naturally spoke without any reservations than before.
"I've been back for almost a month, and she hasn't changed at all. She doesn't respond to what I say. Sometimes I feel like my heart is beating out of inertia, not because of what I said."
Bei Xi sighed, she was not afraid of waiting, not afraid of the long wait, but there was no progress at all, and even Tiandao had no experience at all, which always made her feel uneasy and afraid for no reason.
"And I remembered something," Bei Xi knocked on the table after she finished speaking, "I remember the last time she reincarnated, when she first met me, she was clearly a baby. Why did she turn into an egg this time? This is unscientific..."
Tiandao opened his mouth and thought, I have become a human and am sitting in front of you, and you are talking to me about science? Are you kidding me?
"That's not reasonable either?" Bei Xi added in a serious tone, "So I have reason to suspect that you guys colluded with each other to deceive me, and found a broken stone to impersonate Anan?"
"You don't believe it?" Linda asked back, leaning back on her chair. Before Beixi could answer, she leaned forward and looked at the egg on the table, "Then let me do an experiment for you?"
With a wicked smile, she approached the egg on the table cautiously, and then gently tapped on the eggshell. "Hey, are you awake? If you are awake, then it will be easy. You heard it clearly just now. Your little monster said you are a rotten stone..."
Before she finished her words, the egg had already rolled towards Bei Xi, and Linda was directly covered by Bei Xi's mouth. "What nonsense are you talking about in front of her?"
After she scolded Linda, she quickly reached out to catch the egg that rolled over, "I'm not talking about you, I'm not talking about you, dear..."
As a result, the egg seemed to be able to sense her. It twisted its body angrily and rolled in another direction.
Seeing Bei Xi busying herself for fear that the egg would fall to the ground, and carefully saying coaxing words, Linda quickly took the bank card from the table and left the study with a sly smile.
It was not until the door was closed again that the voice of Tiandao was heard again, "Shenqi is the last god in the world. As long as she wants, she can be reborn and reincarnate in any form. Take good care of her."
Inside the room, Bei Xi, who had finally held the egg in her arms again, looked at the empty table and couldn't help cursing in her heart. However, the egg seemed to have psychological sensitivity and nudged her chest, as if educating her.
"Okay, okay, I won't scold her in my heart, is that okay?" Bei Xi sighed helplessly, and held the egg in her palm and looked at it, "If you can really sense all this, please change back to your original state quickly, I miss you."
I don’t know if she understood or not. Anyway, after a moment, I don’t know if she was shy or for other reasons, she treated Bei Xi’s palm as a bed and rolled back and forth.
After that day, Bei Xi found another opportunity to catch Tian Dao and asked him how to raise an egg correctly.
But this was obviously beyond the knowledge of Tiandao. It had seen many ancient mythical beasts giving birth to offspring. After laying the eggs, all they had to do was find a suitable place for the eggs to hatch and ensure that the temperature and humidity were appropriate. However, the egg produced by Nanhuan was obviously different.
She had no concept of hot or cold at all. As the weather got warmer, Beixi was afraid that she would be cold if he took her out, so he asked the aunt at home to weave a net bag for her to put Nanhuan in. But she only went in to experience it for a while and then came out. It seemed that she was not used to being wrapped up, or that she just wanted to stay close to Beixi at any time.
Moreover, the other eggs always showed some signs of growth and change, but the one that Nan Huan turned into was no different from when he brought it out of the game. It was still crystal clear, and nothing could be seen inside. It did not grow, and there was no change at all. It just heard what Bei Xi said, and would occasionally move a few times out of respect.
The Heavenly Dao also had only a partial understanding of the matter, not to mention that this egg could not be attributed to any known biological species in the world. In the end, she could only say such a few useful things.
"I don't think she needs any other nourishment. Shenqi was conceived by heaven and earth. But before, her heart was where she received the spiritual power of heaven and earth, so her power was endless. Now the heart fragment in your body is her only connection with this world, so you should get closer to her. Maybe one day she will suddenly break out of her shell."
After Bei Xi returned to the real world, she didn’t often take Nan Huan with her when she went out. After all, it was not as safe outside as at home. She was also worried that something unexpected might happen and the egg would be damaged, which would be a waste of time.
Now, after listening to Tiandao's words, he knew that the egg transformed by Nanhuan should not be so easy to be destroyed, so he kept her in his pocket almost wherever he went. Whenever he was free, he would find a chance to talk to her. Sure enough, after a period of time, he found that Nanhuan responded more and more.
Especially when she takes him to a place they have been to together, Nan Huan will react more strongly. Although she has just returned to the company not long ago, she will still take time to take Nan Huan to look for traces of their past little by little.
One night, Bei Xi finished her shower as usual. When she came out, she found no trace of the egg on the bed. She was suddenly very nervous because at this time in the past, the other party always liked to roll around on the big bed while waiting for her.
In a panic, she began to search the bed quickly, but was worried that she would move too much and accidentally drop her to the ground. She had to hold her heart back, her hands trembling a little, and finally she found her under the pillow.
Maybe because she had been out for a long time today and was a little tired from rolling around, she hid under the pillow and fell asleep and did not hear Bei Xi's voice.
Bei Xi panted several times, and when her hands stopped shaking slightly, she gently picked up the egg, put it to her lips and kissed it, "Naughty boy."
Her voice was very soft, but carried some melancholy. The egg moved inadvertently, then as if it sensed a familiar breath, it nestled into Bei Xi's collarbone and fell into a deep sleep.
In her sleep, it seemed that warm liquid fell and woke her up. Nan Huan seemed to hear a familiar crying voice. She was calling her name. The voice was so shrill. Every sound and every word did not sound like a dream. It was as if that person was standing in front of her.
The man cried like rain, the rain wet his cheeks, and every drop was bitter.
Although Nan Huan felt sad that someone had disturbed her sweet dream, she seemed to remember in a daze that someone was waiting for her. She thought she shouldn't sleep like this any longer, otherwise someone would be so sad that he would cry in the middle of the night.
Her eyelids were heavy, and when she heard the familiar voice, she wanted to open them and look at the person in front of her, but her limbs seemed to be sealed in a small space and she could not move them as she wished.
Or I could sleep a little longer, but as soon as this thought came to my mind, it was shattered by the word "Anan".
Bei Xi is waiting for her, she has to wake up quickly.
Once she had this thought, she found that her restricted limbs were gradually free from control.
Bei Xi was very familiar with the feeling of having a nightmare. Her eyelids were swollen and uncomfortable. The moment she wanted to reach out her hand, she felt something was wrong.
