Mo Yan placed his hand on the stone egg and listened carefully, and indeed he could hear a faint heartbeat.
But just thinking about the force with which he had knocked on the door with the stone egg, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
The thing inside that stone egg probably won't survive.
Li Muge first used his spiritual power to draw a small circle in the air, then injected his spiritual power into the stone egg. The stone egg immediately floated in the air, swaying left and right and bouncing around.
"This egg is so lively! I hope it didn't cause a concussion!" Li Muge really didn't know that there was life inside the stone egg.
She originally thought that the stone egg, which simply possessed spiritual power, would be a very useful weapon for smashing things.
The stone egg spun around in the air, shaking off the clods of dirt to reveal its smooth surface.
"Earth dragon egg," Mo Yan said subconsciously, recalling a record of it in the scriptures of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.
Earth dragons are an ancient race, capable of suppressing mountains, and belong to the same lineage as divine dragons.
In the ancient war between immortals and demons, they were abandoned by the dragon race, and their entire clan perished at the hands of the demon realm.
The earth dragon then disappeared without a trace.
Li Muge had also heard of earth dragons, but she had never seen one in person. She smiled slightly and said, "No wonder the spiritual energy in the Zhuxian City mine is so abundant. It turns out there is an earth dragon egg here."
"Mo Yan, bring me this earth dragon. I can use it to repair the mine." Li Muge was very happy. This was like a pillow appearing when you're sleepy.
“Okay.” Mo Yan didn’t object, since what he wanted had already been delivered to Li Muge.
Li Muge, carrying the earth dragon egg, walked to the destroyed mine, placed his hand on the earth dragon egg, and used a bit of its spiritual power to repair the mine.
Her body could no longer support her, and if Mo Yan hadn't caught her in time, she probably would have fallen to the ground.
Mo Yan carried Li Muyang on his back, while Li Muyang held a dragon egg in his hand. They followed the mining line and exited the mine.
Li Muge was so tired that she rested her head on Mo Yan's shoulder listlessly.
"Mo Yan, I have a feeling that you knew how to get out of the Zhuxian City mine all along."
Li Muge's words did not sound like a question; rather, they sounded more like a probe.
Mo Yan's eyes paused slightly, but his steps did not stop: "Sect Master misunderstands. I just discovered that although the mine is blocked, the man in black has a way to get out."
"There must be a way out of this mine, but we don't know who that man in black is. It seems like he knew we were coming back in advance, so he was waiting there to plot against us."
Li Muge was successfully diverted from the topic, and she gritted her teeth menacingly: "I know who it is, and I will definitely kill him when we get back."
Mo Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief; thankfully, Li Muge no longer suspected him.
When Li Muge returned, he was holding a clay dragon egg, his face and hair covered in dirt, looking like he had just come out of a coal mine.
Zuo Xia stretched and saw Li Muge's disheveled appearance. Before she could even process what was happening, the words came out.
"Hahaha, Sect Master, it's the middle of the night, and you went underground? Your hair smells burnt."
Li Muge ignored her, her anger growing, and went straight to Shao Junhao's door.
That damned Shao Junhao blew up the mines of Zhuxian City. Out of consideration for their past relationship, she didn't tie him up and hand him over to Nan Yi, but instead arranged for him to stay at the Chiyue Sect.
She was living a life of luxury, never imagining that this man would scheme against her like this, almost causing her to make a grave mistake and be unable to face Yun Qi in the afterlife!
Li Muge kicked the door open, but there wasn't a soul inside, only a pile of sunflower seed shells on the table.
"This is too much, Shao Junhao! I will make sure you die a horrible death." Li Muge closed her eyes and recited a calming mantra to herself.
He ordered his men to issue a kill order across the Phoenix Continent, instructing them to kill Shao Junhao on sight.
Li Muge also brought out the divine fruit that Shao Junhao had praised as being the best in the world. However, after Mo Li tested it, it turned out to be non-toxic, but just an ordinary sour fruit, its only characteristic being that it was extremely sour.
"Alas! I know, go down." Li Muge held the earth dragon egg and had his subordinates bring a jar that could nurture its primordial spirit.
Little Peony ran quickly to Mu Ge's side, looking at the earth dragon egg with curiosity. "Mu Ge, can a dragon really hatch from this egg?"
Little Peony was in high spirits. She had never seen a real dragon before. Grandpa Banyan Tree said that dragons were all very big and very powerful.
It can bring rain, it can breathe fire, it can do everything.
"Hmm, probably." Li Muge felt that the earth dragon egg was extremely hard, and guessed that Mo Yan woke it up when he hit the door with the egg.
"Mu Ge, when will this dragon hatch? Aren't eggs supposed to hatch? Why don't we go find a hen to incubate it?"
Li Muge sighed: "It probably won't work. How can a hen hatch a dragon egg?"
"The spiritual energy within this earth dragon egg is extremely pure. If it were purified by Buddhist teachings, it should hatch even faster."
"The Buddhist teachings mean that we can put it in a temple and let this earth dragon egg receive the Buddha's light, wouldn't that be enough?"
Little Peony pouted: "It's a pity I'm a demon and can't go into the temple. Otherwise, I could go and see the earth dragon eggs from time to time, and see how they hatch. It would be so much fun."
Li Muge smiled and gently tapped Xiao Shaoyao's brow with her slender fingers: "Why bother looking for a temple? Isn't there one right here? Mo Yan isn't from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect."
"I estimate that having him recite Buddhist scriptures to this earth dragon egg three times a day would have about the same effect."
Little Peony nodded: "That makes sense. Mu Ge, you're so smart. This way we don't have to go to the Buddhist temple."
___
In the stillness of the night.
Mo Yan stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at himself, the vermilion mark on his forehead faintly visible.
Once the cinnabar disappears.
This means he has developed feelings for someone.
Yun Qi raised his hand and placed it on the table. His hair was half-down, and beneath his refined and gentle demeanor, a hint of madness flickered in his eyes.
He raised his hand to the bronze mirror, pressed his finger to his lips, and recalled the time in the mine.
The passionate kiss he shared with Li Muge after taking the Chinese medicine kept replaying in his mind.
He felt a slight lingering fondness for the soft touch of her lips.
"No, Mo Yan, are you crazy? Li Muge is the sect leader of the Crimson Moon Sect. She has done all sorts of evil deeds. Everyone in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect wants to kill her."
“Your master raised you like his own son since you were a child. If you fall in love with Li Muge, it means you will betray the entire sect for Li Muge.”
"At that time, the entire Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect will definitely become a laughing stock of the entire Immortal Alliance."
Mo Yan muttered to himself in front of the bronze mirror, questioning himself from the bottom of his heart.
These consequences were not what he wanted.
No, he couldn't fall for Li Muge. Mo Yan secretly made up his mind that he must keep his distance from Li Muge starting tomorrow.
There are no longer any emotional ties.
They can only ever be enemies. Even if they aren't enemies with Li Muge, they can never be lovers.
