On the bustling street, a girl in black tights was sitting on the stone steps by the roadside eating candied haws.
Passersby would always look back at her curiously, and after glancing once, they would look again. The reason was simple: no one could eat a candied haws with such callousness.
Ling sat cross-legged, ignoring everyone, with a long sword across her knees. Her face was impassive, her eyes as cold as ice, even though at that moment she was using countless idioms to praise the sweet and sour candied haws in her mouth.
This was her first time eating such sweet and sour food, and she liked it very much.
"I want to eat too." A childish voice came weakly from her sleeve.
Ling raised her sleeves, and the black egg in her sleeves took the opportunity to roll around, acting coquettishly and cutely towards her, just wanting to get some candy.
Ling reached out and lifted her out, placed her on his knees, and continued to eat the candied haws with an expressionless face.
Heidan was excited at first, but when he saw that she had no intention of sharing the candy with him, the little face that appeared on the eggshell became very fierce.
Ling reached out and touched it. Her fingers were like her temperament, icy as the deep water in a cold pond, and with a hint of a stern sword energy, which made Heidan, who had been in the demonic energy for many years, tremble uncontrollably.
Sensing its fear, Ling withdrew his hand and sighed, "So why bother following me, sleeping in the open, having no fixed place to live, and making a difficult journey?"
When she read the idiom, Heidan saw two circles in front of his eyes. He didn't understand what she was saying, so he didn't know that she used the wrong word.
But Heidan had to follow her because he actually had nowhere else to go.
As Ling sighed, she ate the candied haws in her hand clean under Xiaodan's eager gaze.
"You are so cruel!" Xiaodan was heartbroken and complained in tears.
Ling stretched out her fingers, which were made sticky by maltose, and touched its egg head. "Be good, you don't have a mouth to eat it."
“…” Heidan finally accepted this tragic fact.
After eating and drinking his fill, Ling brushed off the dust on his knees and stood up quickly.
Heidan put aside the thought of not being able to eat the delicious food and followed eagerly.
"Where are we going next?"
"Let's go wherever there's something fun and interesting." Ling raised her lips, her smile cold, like the sunshine in deep winter, which shines brightly but still makes people feel chilly. "Let's go to the clothing store first."
"Do you want to buy something~" Heidan was very excited. He had long been fed up with the dark black cloth she was wearing.
Unexpectedly, Ling reached out and picked it up, looking at her with disdain, "Look at who else on the street is running around without clothes, you are the only one." She shook her head, "It's really immoral, inappropriate, inappropriate."
The little egg wanted to say something but stopped himself. "Wow, have you ever seen an egg rolling around wearing clothes?"
In any case, it was taken to the clothing store.
The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and came out to greet her. "Miss, what style of dress would you like to buy? Our shop has the latest cuts..."
With a clatter, my sister placed the little egg on the counter and pointed at it, saying, "Is there anything suitable for it?"
The shopkeeper's eyes widened as he looked at the pitch-black egg in front of him, wondering if this was an egg laid by a black chicken. He had never seen such a black egg before!
There was another click, and this time an ingot of silver was placed on the counter.
The shopkeeper reacted quickly and said decisively, "Yes!"
Ling curled her lips and smiled again, "Something prettier."
Xiaodan stood aside obediently, not daring to protest. In fact, she was quite happy when she thought about it, because after all, she was buying clothes for herself.
When the shopkeeper saw the sword and the silver on the woman, he dared not neglect her. He retreated to the inner hall and urgently called his wife and daughter for a discussion. Finally, he asked his wife to make a small dress for her temporarily.
Fortunately, it was just making clothes for an egg, which wouldn't take much time. The shopkeeper's daughter then suggested decorating it with some small beads.
After a while, the shopkeeper came out carefully holding a palm-sized red cape with beads. "Sir, are you satisfied with it?"
Ling took the small cloak, looked at it, and nodded, "Not bad."
As she spoke, she looked back at the little egg, which was completely stiff, and said, "Try it on."
The little egg was in tears. No, any egg wearing a cloak is probably a crazy egg.
But the timid little Dan reluctantly let her put on the small cloak, and pretended to let Yi admire him.
Ling reached out and touched its eggshell, nodding, "The appearance of the heavenly egg is magnificent and beautiful. Very good."
The shopkeeper next to her, who was somewhat literate, weakly corrected her, "Sir, that's not how you use 'beautiful and magnificent'."
Lingmian remained calm and glanced at him. "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the way I use it?"
The shopkeeper who had no ambition to be a teacher chose to keep silent.
In the end, Xiaodan came out wearing this extremely flashy red cloak with a look of despair.
Ling looked at the egg in the palm of his hand and smiled slightly, "It's really heroic, the only thing missing is a trident."
The little egg struggled weakly. Excuse me, how did you see that an egg was so heroic?
It thought its "suffering" was over, but it wasn't.
"You always stay in your sleeves and can't see the scenery outside, so you'd better come out."
Xiaodan was very excited, "You finally let me stand on your shoulders~" Xiang Xiang was very excited.
"No." Her words were like a bucket of cold water, and then she put him in a numbing situation, "You stay here."
Ling took out a small net bag from his arms.
Net...net!
Still, black!
Feeling that she was going to put this sexy little net bag over her head, Xiaodan wanted to grow wings and fly away!
But in the end, she couldn't escape the fate of being packaged as a sexy little egg in black stockings.
Ling grabbed the mesh bag and said, "This way, you can see the scenery outside while staying inside. How nice."
No, not at all, Xiaodan shed tears, "I'm still a child!"
"Then you have to keep it in your pocket, to prevent it from falling." After saying this, Ling set off again calmly. This time, he could finally carry it on the street openly without having to worry about a small, shiny egg lying in his sleeve.
Ling walked eastward along the river. She wanted to see the legendary sea.
"Do you think we'll encounter mermaids? Or shell spirits?"
Xiaodan held the big red cloak tightly around her body, indicating that she didn't want to talk. Mermaids are very beautiful, but it's better not to meet them.
As a result, they didn't meet the mermaid, but they met a beautiful snake.
This beautiful snake sat in the middle of the road, holding a pipa in her hand. She was beautiful and enchanting, singing a sad song.
"The little Chinese cabbages of March 3rd, pitiful and unloved, left in the fields to be frost-bitten and beaten by rain. The little Chinese cabbages of March 3rd, pitiful and unloved, have had their tears shed and their leaves plucked out."
Sister & Xiaodan: ...
Jiang Wenwen followed the scent and searched in many places before finally finding her enemy. In a blink of an eye, she saw the small black silk egg.
What a charming and tempting little egg... The snake's nature makes it unable to resist eating it in one bite. It must be delicious.
Feeling the fiery gaze of the beautiful snake, the black egg trembled and rolled timidly into the big red cloak, but the eggshell at the top was still exposed.
Ling pulled the cowardly egg out again and looked at the snake in front of him thoughtfully. Suddenly, a bold idea came to his mind, "Why don't you hatch the little egg?!"
"I... I'm not a snake egg!" Black Egg, who was from the Demon Realm, protested strongly.
Jiang Wenwen suppressed her appetite and looked at her sister. "Of course I can, but you have to promise to let me follow you."
Ling didn't think much about it and said, "Okay." Anyway, whether one person follows or two people follow, it makes no difference to her.
So the idea of one man and one egg turned into one man, one egg and one snake.
They reached the eastern sea. It was spring and flowers were blooming. They found a small stone house and settled down.
Jiang Wenwen transformed back to her original form and wagged her tail, "Come on."
Ling placed the black egg, reluctant but curious, into Sheshe's warm embrace. Jiang Wenwen curled up and rolled the little egg deep inside, but controlled her strength to avoid breaking it.
Hatching eggs is a long waiting process.
Ling sat cross-legged on a rock by the sea, gazing at the boundless expanse of sea and the blue sky. She felt a sense of peace and tranquility. After living in darkness for so many years, she finally had a bright life. She could see the sun whenever she wanted and wake up whenever she wanted. For the first time, she felt that life could be so comfortable and carefree.
Ling let out a long breath, breathing in and out as he waited, with a faint smile on his lips.
After one cycle, Jiang Wenwen crawled out of the stone house exhausted both physically and mentally.
Ling rushed over and saw the broken eggshells on her scales. Her eyes lit up and she asked in disbelief, "Hatched?"
Jiang Wenwen's eyes were dim, and she was a little crazy. "You know, it...it..."
"What's wrong with it?"
"It's a fucking egg within an egg!"
Ling: ...
The meaning of an egg in an egg is that the outer shell is broken, but the egg inside is still intact.
Jiang Wenwen worked hard to incubate the eggs for a whole cycle, but in the end, all that came out was just an egg. She was really devastated.
Ling hadn't expected this outcome. "How about not hatching it?"
"no."
The crisp sound came from the small egg popping out. Without the outer shell, it had shrunk a lot, but it was still a complete egg.
"What if it hatches and it's still an egg?" Jiang Wenwen would probably sit in the sea and cry forever.
Jiang Wenwen suddenly raised her head and said, "I don't believe that nonsense. Incubate, continue incubating!"
So, it’s another egg-hatching cycle.
Ling held his sword and walked back and forth in front of the stone house, waiting anxiously, just as anxiously as he was waiting for his wife to give birth!
"Oh, oh, oh..." A burst of crying suddenly came from the room.
Ling hurriedly stepped in and saw broken eggshells lying on the ground under the snake's tail, and a crying human baby girl lying next to it!
This magical world, Ling couldn't believe it, "Why is there a human doll in the egg?"
Jiang Wenwen said weakly, "I'm so tired! This isn't an egg at all, it's just the spirit of an infant. It trapped the soul of the deceased infant inside, and it couldn't get out. Now I've hatched it!"
While listening to her explanation, Ling bent down and picked up the crying baby.
"This crying baby is so delicate, it must be a little princess in the palace." Jiang Wenwen turned into a human form and looked at her sister's clumsy way of holding the baby, and laughed, "You are holding it too stupidly, give it to me, I'll do it."
So Ling had no choice but to hand the doll in her arms to Jiang Wenwen.
"Does she still have any memories?"
"Her soul has been refined, which is equivalent to rebirth. Of course, she has no memories. But when she opened her eyes, the first person she saw was her family. All hatched babies are like this." Jiang Wenwen held the newborn baby in her arms. After all, she had hatched it with so much difficulty, so it was natural for her maternal instinct to burst out. She looked at her stunned sister in front of her, kicked her, and said confidently, "Why are you still standing there? Find her some milk!"
Ling walked out of the stone house in a daze. Jiang Wenwen's voice could still be heard from behind her. "If you can't find human milk, try goat milk. Got it?"
Later, Ling and Jiang Wenwen raised a baby together. Looking at the adorable little princess, they still had a feeling: this world is too magical!
