The latter possibility was basically incorrect. Yang Kai was currently a 2nd order Emperor Realm, so unless the Great Emperor himself came, it was impossible for him to not notice. Could it be that his guess was wrong and there was no one inside this cave?
But if there was no one, what did Fu Zhun’s words before she left mean?
Things seemed a bit strange, but Yang Kai didn’t lower his guard, constantly scanning his surroundings and quickly arriving at the cave.
The inside of the cave was pitch black, and there was a tunnel that led to the inside of the cave. It was unknown how far it went, but there was no light inside.
Yang Kai quietly stepped inside and slowly explored the interior.
The corridor was filled with twists and turns, but the general direction continued downwards.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Yang Kai estimated that he was at least a few thousand meters underground when he suddenly noticed a flash of light in front of him. This caused Yang Kai’s expression to brighten as he carefully concealed his aura.
Whether or not Fu Zhun had some kind of wild man outside would soon be revealed.
Not long after, Yang Kai arrived at the source of the light. It was an underground cave that seemed to be naturally formed rather than man-made. The space here was huge, about two acres in size.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Yang Kai quickly looked inside but didn’t see anyone. Instead, there were many Night Pearls embedded into the walls of the cave, each of them the size of a fist, emitting a gentle light that illuminated the entire cave.
This cave was the end of the tunnel, and there was no other way forward.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Yang Kai blinked and called out, “Is anyone here?”
His voice echoed out, causing his eardrums to ring, but there was no response?
“If there’s no one here, I’m coming in!” Yang Kai said as he stepped into the cave and looked around, his expression suddenly becoming strange as he rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, “No one? What the hell!”
The situation inside the cave was clear at a glance. Apart from the soft glow of the Night Pearls embedded in the walls, there was nothing else worth paying attention to. Not to mention living people, there wasn’t even a corpse.
However, since there was no one here, who had Fu Zhun said those words to? Was there something wrong with the old witch’s mental state? Although the possibility wasn’t high, it couldn’t be ruled out. After all, he didn’t know much about Fu Zhun, only that this cheap slut’s cultivation was extraordinary, and under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be her opponent unless he could borrow the Dragon Vein’s suppression and Dragon Temple’s power.
Since there was no one else in the cave, Yang Kai didn’t need to hide anymore, so he simply put his hands behind his back and swaggered off.
There was still a faint fragrance lingering in the cave. This was Fu Zhun’s body fragrance, proving that she had indeed come here and had stayed here for three days before leaving. Otherwise, this fragrance wouldn’t have persisted until now.
As he walked, Yang Kai suddenly looked to the side and saw a few crystalline drops of liquid on the ground.
Dragon teardrops! These teardrops were formed from the tears of giant dragons and could be used to refine a special Spirit Pill. Thinking back to the red and swollen eyes of Fu Zhun before she left, Yang Kai immediately understood that these teardrops were left behind by Fu Zhun.
She had definitely been crying for a long time and had shed a lot of tears, but she had probably collected most of the Dragon Teardrops herself and had left some behind.
There were only a dozen or so of them scattered around a black stone.
Rubbing his chin, this scene immediately appeared in his mind. Fu Zhun should be standing next to this black stone, quietly weeping and wailing…
Why are you crying over a stone? Yang Kai sneered, but just as he was about to ignore it, his expression suddenly changed as he carefully examined the stone.
Previously, he hadn’t paid much attention to this stone, but after discovering that there were no living people in this cave, he had only taken a few casual glances at it. Now that he took a closer look, he discovered that this stone was somewhat strange. It was the height of a person and was oval in shape. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be… an egg!
A stone that looked like an egg.
Was this a freaking dragon egg?
This thought involuntarily appeared in Yang Kai’s mind, causing him to jump in fright as he stared at the strange stone.
Speaking of which, he didn’t know how the Dragon Race was born. Was it born directly from a female dragon, or was it hatched from a dragon egg? No one had told him about this before, but he had heard of the term dragon egg.
Could this really be a dragon egg? If he thought about it carefully, there really was such a possibility. A snake is from an egg, a dragon should also be from an egg…
After coming here for three days, Fu Zhun had cried to something that looked like a dragon egg. Was this… was this the dragon egg of Fu Zhun and the Great Elder?
“My goodness…” Yang Kai was dumbfounded, shocked by his own thoughts. If that was the case, then he had discovered something incredible.
These were the two Tenth-Order Dragons’… dragon egg! Having inherited the bloodlines of two Tenth-Order Dragons, they were destined to be the future pillar of Dragon Island!
But if these were really the dragon egg of those two, why would it be placed here instead of on Azure Wood Island or Ice Snow Island? Snow Island was one thing, the world was cold and the Ice Attribute Laws were abundant. Perhaps it was not suitable for a dragon egg to be placed here, but Azure Wood Island was quite good.
Why didn’t they place it on Azure Wood Island instead?
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled as he reached out his hand to knock on it. Immediately, the sound of knocking echoed in the cave, as if he was knocking on a stone. Yang Kai couldn’t help scratching his head. Was this a dragon egg or a stone? He couldn’t be sure, but if it was a dragon egg, why was there no vitality inside?
Could it be… a bad egg!?
Placing his palm on its surface, Yang Kai closed his eyes and began to perceive.
In the next moment, he concluded that this was not a stone, because although this thing looked no different from a stone on the surface, its interior was not made of stone, but rather something that existed in an extremely strange form.
This was really a freaking dragon egg!
And it was a bad egg!
Yang Kai finally understood why Fu Zhun had come here in such a daze and then cried so miserably, even saying such things before leaving.
This should be the dragon egg she had given birth to, but for some unknown reason, it had not hatched and instead had lost its life force. To any mother, this was something difficult to accept, especially for Fu Zhun, who was a member of the Dragon Race. It was too difficult for the Dragon Race to give birth to a child, so it was rare to see a glimmer of hope, but unexpectedly, it had become a kind of despair.
She had placed her dragon egg here and would come here every now and then to take a look and cry bitterly, but Yang Kai happened to see it.
Yang Kai couldn’t help sighing. No matter how unreasonable and cold Fu Zhun acted in front of outsiders, in the end, she was still a woman. The swollen red eyes and Dragon’s tears she had left here all spoke of her regret and her desire to have children.
Yang Kai suddenly realized that he had seen another side of Fu Zhun.
Just as he was thinking about this, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly changed as he stared at the dragon egg in front of him. Just now, he had felt a faint vibration coming from the dragon egg.
However, the fluctuations just now weren’t obvious, so he didn’t know if it was just his imagination.
It should be an illusion. After all, the fact that this bad egg had been placed here meant that Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun had lost confidence in it, otherwise they would have taken care of it.
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, another extremely weak tremor came.
Yang Kai’s eyes went wide. This dragon egg still had a chance to survive? Because when the tremors came, he had indeed felt a faint life force fluctuation, but if it had a chance to survive, why would it be abandoned by Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun?
After carefully examining it for a long time, Yang Kai finally confirmed that it still had some faint vitality, but that was all.
Retracting his hand, Yang Kai looked at the dragon egg in front of him and sighed. Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun both knew this, but they had no way to reverse the situation, otherwise they would not have given up.
Letting out a long sigh, Yang Kai said, “Even your parents can’t control you, so there’s nothing I can do.” Patting the dragon egg, Yang Kai turned around and left.
Since there weren’t any wild men here, there was naturally no need to stay here any longer. Although he had coincidentally discovered a secret of Fu Zhun’s, it wasn’t appropriate for him to threaten her.
A mother’s care, concern, guilt, and regret for her son, what was there to threaten?
Walking out of the cave, Yang Kai soared into the sky and flew towards Dragon Palace Temple.
A moment later, he suddenly paused, rubbing his chin as he turned his eyes, seemingly thinking of something.
Immediately after, he turned around and returned to the mountain cave, directly putting away the dragon egg and stuffing it into the Mysterious Small World.
After exiting the cave, Yang Kai did not fly towards the Dragon Palace Temple but instead flew towards the entrance.
Fu Ling was not at the entrance, so Yang Kai had to walk around for a long time before he found her in a clear lake, only thirty kilometers from the entrance.
Fu Ling was currently bathing!
A purple robes is placed on the shore, she was like a fish swimming in a lake.
Yang Kai’s sudden arrival startled her, causing her to raise her head bitterly, “Brother-in-law, what are you doing?”
Yang Kai couldn’t help rolling his eyes. The lake water was clear, and Fu Ling was completely naked. Although it was unintentional, it was obvious at a glance. Her chest was full, her waist was graceful, and her round buttocks were quite delicate. Although the rippling water caused her figure to become somewhat distorted, it was still unable to conceal her peerless beauty.
“There’s something I want to ask you,” Yang Kai didn’t try to avoid her and just stared down at her.
Fu Ling used both of her hands and feet to swim to a rock in the middle of the lake. Climbing onto the rock with both hands, she exposed half of her bare back, forming a beautiful arc as she looked up and smiled, “What does Brother-in-law want to ask?”
Yang Kai landed on the rock and squatted down, rubbing his chin, “Did Second Elder once give birth to a child?”
Fu Ling blinked and asked curiously, “How did you know about this?”
There really was one!
