Chapter 218 Poor Dragon Egg
Qian Jingyao had been standing by and listening silently. At this moment, he stepped forward, gently patted Xia Yueke's shoulder, and suggested in a gentle voice:
"Keke, let's wait a month and see. If the egg hatches within a month, we can put it away. If it doesn't, it might be dead, so it's okay to eat it!"
Xia Yueke raised her head slightly, met Shang Qian Jingyao's gaze, and nodded gently, thinking that this was indeed a good idea.
She turned around, hugged the egg tightly, and walked steadily into the house.
When Long Xiaoyu heard that they actually wanted to eat him, he almost forgot to laugh out loud.
Ignorant orcs!!!
When he gets out, he will definitely teach them a lesson and let them know what it means to suffer the consequences of one's own actions!
Everyone followed behind and came to a relatively tidy room. Xia Yueke stood on a wooden stool and placed the eggs steadily on a stone cabinet.
The stone cabinet was against the window, and the sunlight shone through the mottled window lattice onto the egg, casting a faint halo. From a distance, the egg looked like an exquisite ornament.
In the following days, the first thing Xia Yueke did every day when she got up was to run to the stone cabinet to see if there was any movement with the eggs.
Sometimes she would take a wet cloth and carefully wipe the eggshell to keep it clean, and then drool over it.
Long Xiaoyu inside the eggshell was not idle either. He felt that he was fixed in one place. After being moved occasionally, he began to try hard to break the eggshell.
He wondered if he had to break the eggshell in order to come out again, just like when he was first born.
As for Qingyan, although he initially clamored to eat the egg, as time went on, he would come over from time to time, poke at the eggshell, and mutter, "What the hell are you? Are you delicious?"
Whenever he heard this, Long Xiaoyu would get angry for a while, and then he would dig the eggshell with his mouth and claws even harder. Because there was no light, the inside of the eggshell was dark, and he couldn't see what he looked like. He just felt that his claws were not even one percent of what they used to be!
Until a month later, there was still no movement from the egg.
Xia Yueke finally couldn't stand it anymore and decided to cook it.
Qingyan squatted beside the blazing fire, constantly adding firewood to the stove with his hands. Sparks crackled and flew everywhere, making his cheeks red.
The water in the pot had already boiled to a rolling boil, with huge bubbles bubbling out.
He turned his head to look at Xia Yueke, grinning and showing two big white teeth:
"Keke, today we can taste what this strange egg tastes like!"
After saying that, he stood up swiftly, picked up the unmoved egg with both hands, and threw it directly into the boiling pot with a "Hey!". Large splashes of water were made, and a few drops even jumped onto his face, scalding him so much that he grimaced.
Long Xiaoyu inside could only pull at the eggshell angrily, but he was not at all panicked by the hot water.
After all, he is a dragon, and this little bit of heat can't affect him. It's just that this female and her partner named Qingyan are busying themselves.
Xia Yueke stood aside, arms folded across her chest, her eyes fixed on the eggs in the pot, feeling both nervous and expectant.
As time passed, the water in the pot continued to boil, but the eggs seemed to be soaking in a hot spring and did not change at all.
Qingyan was a little anxious. He scratched his head, took a thick wooden stick, and poked the egg into the pot. The egg was steady and didn't move at all.
"Hey, what the hell is this? Why can't it be cooked?"
He muttered, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, not sure if it was from the fire or his anxiety.
Long Xiaoyu felt that the eggshell was a little hot inside, but he could still bear it. Hearing Qing Yan's words outside, Long Xiaoyu's dragon mouth curled up. It would be best if it didn't work, but these two guys accidentally helped him!
The eggshell, which had been cracked a little from the inside by him before, finally became a little crispy under the high temperature.
Long Xiaoyu hurriedly peeled the shell and kicked it, trying to get out.
At this time, Luo Cihe walked in slowly, playing with a leaf in his hand. He glanced at the scene in the pot and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"I told you, this egg won't give in so easily."
Qi'an followed behind, frowning. He walked closer and squatted down, carefully observing the pot and eggs, muttering to himself:
"The texture of this eggshell is definitely unusual. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."
After hearing what they said, Xia Yueke became more curious and reached out to grab the eggs.
Qing Yan was quick to stop her: "Keke, be careful, it's hot!"
As he said this, he found a piece of thick cloth, wrapped his hands, and fished out the egg.
Several people gathered around and started knocking and prying at the eggshell, but the eggshell was so hard that they couldn't even make a mark, let alone a crack.
After struggling for a long time, everyone was exhausted and out of breath, but the egg was still intact, lying there quietly.
"Forget it, this is too much trouble. How about just forget it and use it as a decoration?"
Xia Yueke pouted and waved her hands helplessly, and the stubbornness in her heart had mostly disappeared at this moment.
After knowing that the egg was so hard, Xia Yueke no longer had any worries and immediately felt like playing.
She bent down to pick up the egg from the ground, tossed it in her hands like she would a ball, and then gently tossed it into the air and caught it, muttering to herself:
"Hey, little tough, just be my new toy."
When Xia Yueke finished saying this, Long Xiaoyu had a bad feeling.
Qing Yan watched from the side, his eyes suddenly lit up, "What a great idea!"
As he said that, he rushed over and stretched out his hand to grab the egg in Xia Yueke's hand, "Let me play with it too, and I'll throw you higher."
The two of them fought with each other, laughed and played, and the small courtyard in front of the stone house was full of laughter. The egg drew arcs in the air.
Long Xiaoyu: “#*&￥%#｀”
He cursed a lot in the sky, but because his voice was so weak, no orc heard it.
Long Xiaoyu gradually began to feel dizzy and his teeth were grinding.
While playing, Xia Yueke was not paying attention and threw the egg a little too hard towards a big rock in the corner of the yard.
With a muffled "bang", everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat.
Xia Yueke widened her eyes, the smile on her face froze, she thought to herself that something was wrong, and ran over there.
Qing Yan followed closely behind, shouting, "Oh no, it's bad!"
When they ran closer, they saw the egg shaking gently beside the stone, and a thin crack miraculously appeared on the eggshell.
"Wow, look!"
Xia Yueke jumped up excitedly, pointing at the egg with trembling fingers, and her breathing became a little faster.
