Silver Ring sat in the grass, shaking its head and wagging its tail, looking utterly dejected and listless.
She lowered her head, looked at the small patch of ground beneath her tail, pouted, angrily flicked her tail twice, and then stretched out her little hands to resignedly start pulling weeds.
This patch of grass was indeed her birthplace, but the landscape had long since changed with the passage of time. The cave where she was born had long been covered by yellow earth, and if she hadn't sensed her unique aura below, she wouldn't have been sure that this was where she had hatched.
Yin Huan didn't want to ask the demons outside for help, after all, she was searching for her identity. The others all believed she was Nuwa, and whatever they discovered would inevitably lead them to speculate about Nuwa. She couldn't be misled by them; she had to do it herself. The aura beneath the yellow earth was weak, but it was definitely her unique aura—it might just be a clue.
With her small waist bent, Yin Huan cleared out a small area, about the size of a palm. Then, she dug with both hands, once again unleashing her talent for digging.
After half a day, just when she felt her hands were about to give out, she finally managed to dig out what was buried in the ground.
When she saw clearly what was emitting its unique scent, Yin Huan's face froze, and she was instantly dumbfounded.
Yin Huan was dumbfounded... It turned out that after digging in the soil for so long, she had only unearthed two broken pieces of eggshell.
Damn it, it's been three hundred years, how come her eggshell is still here intact...? This is not scientific.
Silver Ring stared blankly at its former eggshell for a while, then its little face fell, it sighed, hugged its eggshell helplessly, wagged its tail in frustration, and left the bushes.
As she walked, she kept glancing at the two broken eggshells.
Seemingly remembering something, Silver Ring's eyes lit up, and it immediately increased the speed of its tail swishing. Oh dear, how could I have forgotten such an important thing? Big Brother said that after he hatched, he swallowed his own eggshell. According to him, his eggshell was a great tonic, containing extremely concentrated energy.
Could it be that I'm such a useless person now because I didn't eat the eggshell back then?
Silver Ring nodded her little head vigorously, feeling that she had figured out the truth.
Hurry, go back and find the green python. Ask him to cook the eggshell for you. Maybe after eating the eggshell, you'll become powerful immediately.
Thinking of this, Yin Huan felt a surge of relief: thank goodness, thank goodness her little eggshell was strong enough, it hadn't changed at all in three hundred years, otherwise, she wouldn't have anything to eat right now.
Silver Ring was delighted. She opened her little mouth, hummed a few times, and began to sing: "Ah...ah...ah...the beautiful scenery of Fuding Mountain in July, the morning and evening sun are so charming, I have an eggshell waiting for me, to enter my belly in three hundred years..."
Wow, this chuunibyou girl is really too deeply influenced by "The Legend of the White Snake".
The gloom that had lingered for more than half a day was swept away in an instant. Yin Huan hummed her own adapted little song, hugged the eggshell, and was so happy that she almost jumped up.
She must eat it. Perhaps this thing is the key to her awakening.
Once she awakens, hmph, she won't have to hide like the green python described. Her elder brother has protected her for a hundred or two hundred years; once she awakens, it will be her turn to protect him.
Whether eating eggshells can awaken an awakening is unknown, but anyone with a little common sense about demons knows that eggshells, while containing some energy, don't contain much, just enough for a newborn demon to satisfy its hunger.
The four demons waiting outside heard a clear, melodious song coming from afar, and their foreheads twitched involuntarily. When they came to their senses, they immediately noticed the unparalleled lightness in the song.
The four demons looked at each other, all somewhat puzzled.
Judging from the sound, Silver Ring seemed to have made a discovery, but there was no movement or change in the grass, everything was calm as usual. If she had really made a discovery, given Silver Ring's status, it should have been a huge event.
Just as the group was wondering what was going on, Silver Ring's small figure finally came into view.
Upon seeing the person, the group immediately headed towards Silver Ring. The Green Python opened its mouth, about to ask Silver Ring what it had discovered, but before it could utter a word, Silver Ring cheerfully presented it with the broken eggshell in its hand.
"Green Python, quickly start a fire and help me boil this eggshell," Silver Ring said cheerfully, raising her little eyebrows.
"Boiling, boiling eggshells?" The green python asked in surprise, its gaze falling on the eggshells on both sides.
Blackie's face twitched violently: "Silver Ring, you can't eat eggshells." How hungry would someone have to be to want to eat eggshells standing up... By the way, it seems Silver Ring hasn't eaten for a day.
Oh dear, I was careless. I was so focused on getting on the road that I forgot that yesterday morning, Yin Huan ate a few fried dough sticks.
Silver Ring: "This is my eggshell. I crawled out of this egg."
The group was startled upon hearing this and all looked at the eggshell.
"What! Your eggshell? Aren't you over three hundred years old? How come you still have your eggshell?"
Silver Ring glanced at the group smugly, puffed out her chest, and said proudly, "Who told me to be an anomaly? Hahaha, in the whole world, I'm afraid only my eggshell can remain uncorrupted for three hundred years. Humph, don't underestimate me, this is also my skill."
The four demons: "......!"
Okay, that's certainly something you've got.
Taking advantage of Silver Ring's good mood, Black Bear secretly nudged the Green Python and whispered, "Can your eggshell also remain intact for three hundred years?"
Green Python: "I don't know. I was too hungry when I was born, and Luo Mang and I fought over the eggshell. By the way, Luo Mang and I were twins, and our eggshells were connected. That good-for-nothing was not as strong as me when he was born, and he couldn't beat me... I ate more than one, while he only ate more than half."
