Su Xi circled the egg in front of her, examining it closely. Even with the help of her supercomputer, she couldn't find anything peculiar about it.
It was just a normal egg, with no unusual features.
Yet, she found it hard to accept that the accompanying item of the Wood Spirit Pearl would be an ordinary egg. Even if it was an egg, this one was too magical.
Tapping the egg with her hand, Su Xi wore a look of helplessness.
If she ate such a large egg, besides being stuffed to death and becoming a gluttonous ghost, there seemed to be no other benefit.
Su Xi chuckled self-deprecatingly, then turned her gaze to the Wood Spirit Pearl beside her and extended her hand.
No matter what, she had to achieve her goal for this trip.
She opened a rift between her internal space and the outside world. Just as Su Xi was about to place the Wood Spirit Pearl inside, she suddenly heard a clear bird cry.
The bird cry was fast and urgent, as if something important had happened and it was trying to convey it.
Hearing the hurried bird cry, Su Xi finally remembered that there was a bird here, a bird with not much presence.
She cast a spell and released Xu Ge. Xu Ge ignored Su Xi and immediately began to spin and leap around the egg, appearing very excited.
He didn't even care about the drool that dripped from his mouth.
"Hey, do you know this egg?" Su Xi asked, unable to help herself as she watched Xu Ge's excitement.
A preposterous thought instantly popped into her mind.
Σ(⊙▽⊙”a
Birds reproduce through eggs, so Xu Ge's excited reaction to seeing this egg… could it be his illegitimate egg?
Otherwise, why would Xu Ge be so agitated?
However, she was even more curious: how could Xu Ge, a male bird, lay eggs?
Xu Ge had no idea what labels Su Xi was attaching to him in her mind. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. At this moment, he was filled with an ineffable joy.
He had paid such a high price and endured so much hardship. He thought he would never find them again, but unexpectedly, he found the lost sacred object of the demon race of his Kunpeng clan here.
As long as he could bring the sacred object of the demon race back, he would gain more cultivation resources from then on and ascend to the throne of the Kunpeng clan's king.
"Gē gē gē!"
In his excitement, Xu Ge couldn't help but let out chicken-like clucks, unconcerned about crossing species.
"What are you so happy about?" Su Xi snatched the egg away from Xu Ge's sight and asked.
Upon seeing the sacred object gone and then spotting Su Xi, Xu Ge's joyful expression vanished instantly, replaced by dejection.
He had been careless and forgotten that he was no longer who he once was.
He had become Su Xi's pet and could never return to the demon race.
(⊙︿⊙)
If he hadn't already turned into a bird-person, he would have burst into tears. Such a fate was simply too unfair to a bird.
How unfair was the Heavenly Dao to him.
Seeing Xu Ge, who was both happy and sad, Su Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
With so much drama, it was a shame he wasn't an actor bird; his acting skills were wasted.
If he were in a circus, he could definitely be a pickpocket.
"I need you to explain clearly, or don't blame me for being impolite." Seeing Xu Ge's silence, Su Xi was losing her patience.
She had very important things to do and no time to waste.
Although Xu Ge was reluctant, having become Su Xi's pet, he knew he couldn't hide anything. Otherwise, with just a thought from Su Xi, he wouldn't even have time to retaliate before becoming a dead bird.
He organized his bird language in his mind and explained the matter clearly.
Hearing Xu Ge's words, Su Xi's eyes showed disbelief.
This inconspicuous thing in front of her was actually the sacred object of the demon race.
Since when were sacred objects so casual?
Moreover, wasn't the sacred object supposed to be in another place? Why did it end up here?
"What kind of egg is this?" Su Xi looked at Xu Ge and asked the question she most wanted to know.
The demon race had gone to such great lengths to protect it, so it must be something extraordinary. If she could use it herself, her strength would surely advance further.
Xu Ge shook his head in response to Su Xi's inquiry.
Their Kunpeng clan was only responsible for guarding it; how would they know what kind of egg this was? All bird eggs in the world looked similar. It was difficult to distinguish them from the outside.
Hearing Xu Ge's answer, Su Xi couldn't help but frown. "Then why did the Demon King ask you to guard such an important sacred object?"
If the Demon King guarded something so important himself, it would be much better than the Kunpeng guarding it, and it would be less likely to be lost. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Hearing Su Xi's question, Xu Ge's expression turned a little strange.
How could this woman ask about such a private matter?
Seeing Xu Ge's hesitant expression, Su Xi's expression also became peculiar. "What's wrong? Could it be that your Kunpeng clan had some shady deal with the Demon King, which is why such an important item was entrusted to your care?"
Seeing Su Xi's gossip-laden face, Xu Ge, though he didn't know what "shady deal" meant, knew it couldn't be anything good.
"No," Xu Ge interrupted Su Xi righteously. They were decent individuals and would absolutely not engage in any improper transactions.
Looking at Su Xi, Xu Ge really wanted to educate her, to tell her that his great race absolutely disdained such actions.
"Then what is the reason?" Su Xi looked at Xu Ge, waiting for him to continue.
"Alas," Xu Ge sighed, knowing that if he didn't explain clearly, Su Xi would undoubtedly come up with more strange ideas.
Therefore, he thought of a relatively good phrasing and began to explain: "Because in addition to our Kunpeng clan's fast flying speed, we also possess excellent egg-hatching abilities."
"What the Demon King valued was precisely our hatching ability, wanting us to hatch it."
Hearing Xu Ge's explanation, Su Xi's eyes suddenly gleamed. If everything was as Xu Ge said, then she really didn't need to rush.
As long as the egg was hatched, she would know what it was. This foolish bird, Xu Ge, was somewhat useful after all.
Thinking of this, Su Xi looked at Xu Ge with a meaningful gaze.
"What are you doing?" Xu Ge couldn't help but take a few steps back, showing his fear of Su Xi's gaze.
"Of course, you'll do your job," Su Xi smiled and stuffed the egg into Xu Ge's arms.
Since Xu Ge needed it so much, she naturally had to help him fulfill his wish.
Hearing Su Xi's words, Xu Ge immediately rolled his eyes several times.
He knew that once he said that, Su Xi would make him do something so humiliating.
He really wanted to vent, to remind Su Xi.
She could make him do things, but could she consider the fact that he was male?
