“Don’t worry about how I know, just answer my question first,” Yang Kai looked down at her.
Fu Ling thought for a moment before replying, “It happened many years ago, but Second Elder did give birth to a child.”
“And the result?”
Fu Ling said sadly, “In the end, it seemed like its Origin was insufficient and couldn’t hatch, causing it to become a dead fetus.”
“Insufficient Origin?” Yang Kai frowned. What did this mean?
Fu Ling said, “Although my Dragon Race is blessed by the Heavens and possesses a powerful cultivation and strength from birth, since we are Holy Spirits, we rely on our Origin to survive. Every Dragon Race has its own Dragon Race Origin, and the same goes for newly born members. If their Origin isn’t strong enough, they can’t be born. Speaking of which, this is quite strange. The Great Elder and Second Elder are both Tenth-Order Dragons, so logically speaking, it’s impossible for their children to have insufficient Origin, but somehow this happened.”
“There’s actually such a thing…” Yang Kai revealed a thoughtful look before suddenly sneering, “That slut must have done too many bad things, this is the punishment given to her by the Heavens. As the saying goes, the Heavenly Dao is a cycle of life and death, the Heavens have spared no one!”
"S… Slut?” Fu Ling stared at him in shock, “Brother-in-law, you can’t be referring to… Second Elder, right?”
“Other than that slut, who else could it be?” Yang Kai’s asked.
Fu Ling slowly shrank back into the water, only revealing half of her head as she looked at Yang Kai timidly. For the first time, she realized that Yang Kai’s courage was extraordinary. If the Second Elder had heard those words just now, she would have been even more frightened.
What she didn’t know was that Yang Kai had cursed in front of Fu Zhun, so what if he cursed behind her back?
After hesitating for a moment, she softly said, “Actually, before this incident, although Second Elder’s personality was a bit cold, her temper wasn’t so bad. After this incident, it changed a lot.”
“En?” Yang Kai raised his brow, “Does that mean this matter has dealt her a big blow?”
“Very, very, very big blow!” Fu Ling nodded, “She and Great Elder finally had a child, but because of a lack of Origin Source, her child was dead, so one can only imagine the impact it had on her. Since then, she seemed to especially want a new member of the Dragon Race to be born, so she decided to betroth Elder Sister Qing to Fu Chi.”
“She can’t do it herself, so she is counting on others? What a freak!” Yang Kai curled his lips.
“I also heard that if the child of Beast Military Great Emperor and Third Elder were pure-blooded dragon, Second Elder wouldn’t have pursued the matter, but that Mo Xiaoqi didn’t have the slightest Dragon Race bloodline, which was why Second Elder was so angry she banished Third Elder into the Dragon Tomb.”
Yang Kai didn’t want to hear this and simply asked, “What happened next?”
“What happened next?” Fu Ling looked at him curiously.
“Second Elder gave birth to a bad egg, what happened after that?”
Fu Ling smiled bitterly, “There’s no such thing as a future. After working hard for so many years, that dragon egg showed no signs of hatching, so naturally there’s no hope. Because of this matter, Great Elder also feels very guilty towards Second Elder and has been tolerating her all these years… Brother-in-law, why are you asking this?”
“I’m just asking casually, nothing much,” Yang Kai waved his hand, “Continue, pretend I never came.”
Saying so, he flew out again and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Fu Ling stared angrily in the direction he had left and reached out to slap the surface of the water, spitting out countless drops of water. Gritting her teeth, she shouted, “Smelly man!” Turning around, she began swimming again.
Those were really the dragon eggs of Fu Zhun and Zhu Yan!
As Yang Kai sped along, his mood fluctuated. Perhaps… this was a breakthrough!
On a messy island, traces of battle could be seen everywhere, and a magnificent palace had been reduced to ruins.
This island was the Spirit Island of the dead Eighth-Order Thunder Dragon, Fu Chi. In the past, Yang Kai had also come here, and countless cultivators had been escorted here to build a palace for Fu Chi. After a great battle, this place had been destroyed and the glorious palace had become nothing more than a fleeting cloud.
Yang Kai flew down and casually found a relatively intact palace before walking inside and sweeping the area clean. Then, with a wave of his hand, the bad egg appeared in front of him.
Rubbing his chin, Yang Kai walked around the bad egg a few times, a look of determination flashing across his eyes.
At this moment, a figure flew over and landed next to Yang Kai, cupping his fists, “Young Lord.”
“En.” Yang Kai didn’t pay it any mind and simply nodded lightly. On the way here, he had sent a message to Qiong Qi to ask him to come over. Before this, Qiong Qi had been wandering around Dragon Island and Yang Kai had pretended to leave without informing him. In any case, he had to return back.
It wasn’t until this moment that Yang Kai called him over. One man was short while the other was long. The old man had lived for many years, so there were many times he could ask him for advice.
“Young Lord summoned this old master here for some reason… Sss!” Before Qiong Qi could finish his words, he suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at the egg, exclaiming, “This, this, this…”
“What do you mean by that?” Yang Kai glanced at him.
Qiong Qi swallowed his saliva and asked, “Young Lord, is this… a dragon egg?” The last two words were spoken in a very low voice, as if he was afraid someone would hear them.
“Old Qiong’s vision is quite good, he was able to tell at a glance that this was a dragon egg,” Yang Kai gave him a thumbs up. He had carefully examined it before confirming it, but Qiong Qi was able to tell at a glance that the older the wiser.
Qiong Qi’s expression became complicated, “Young Lord, this old master has something to say.”
“If you have something to say, just say it. You have such a fierce look on your face, yet you insist on acting like a gentleman. Are you tired?”
Qiong Qi’s face darkened, but he still said seriously, “Although this old master doesn’t know where Young Lord stole this dragon egg from, it’s best to put it back as soon as possible. If the Dragon Race finds it, it’ll be over.”
“How can you be so sure I stole it?” Yang Kai looked at him askance.
If it wasn’t stolen, could it have been born by you? Qiong Qi cursed in his heart. Although this old master was old, he was still quite intelligent.
“Then may I ask Young Lord, what is the origin of this dragon egg?”
“I picked it up!” Yang Kai said seriously.
It would be strange if I believed you! This is Dragon Island, and now a dragon egg has appeared in front of me, yet you’re telling me you picked it up…
“Enough nonsense, I didn’t call you here to discuss this with me,” Yang Kai raised his hand and interrupted him, “This Young Lord has something to ask you, and I hope you can tell me everything you know.”
Qiong Qi asked anxiously, “Is this related to this dragon egg?”
“Yes!”
Qiong Qi let out a long sigh, feeling as if he had been dragged into a fire pit by Yang Kai. He was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he would have gone back to Spirit Beast Island with Jiu Feng and Li Wuyi. Although his freedom would be restricted if he went to Spirit Beast Island, he would not have encountered such a situation.
Now that he had recognized this guy as his Young Lord, he couldn’t stop worrying about him. Not only had he come to Dragon Island to show off, he had even stolen a dragon egg!
If the Dragon Race were to find out about this matter, the master and servant pair would probably be torn to pieces.
“I won’t hide it from you, this is the dragon egg that the Dragon Clan’s Great Elder and Second Elder gave birth to.”
As soon as Yang Kai said this, Qiong Qi’s face twitched.
Just a single dragon egg was already extremely important, but this was actually the Dragon Clan’s Great Elder and Second Elder’s dragon egg!!! What are you trying to do? There’s no need to use such a method even if you want to die. Moreover… since it was the dragon egg of two Elders, why was it stolen? Qiong Qi was puzzled.
“They said this dragon egg is dead, but I don’t believe them,” Yang Kai shook his head.
“This is a dead egg?” Qiong Qi was shocked.
Yang Kai shrugged, “That’s what they say.”
“Who?” Qiong Qi asked.
“You don’t need to worry about that. In any case, they’re wrong. Although this dragon egg’s vitality is a bit weak, there is still a glimmer of hope,” Yang Kai said as he placed his hand on the dragon egg and tilted his head towards Qiong Qi, “Come here and feel it.”
Qiong Qi’s curiosity was piqued as he walked over and placed his hand on the dragon egg, carefully examining it.
Since the Dragon Race had already confirmed that this was a dead egg, what right did you have to say that it was still alive?
“How is it? Do you feel it? There’s a faint life fluctuation that fluctuates from time to time,” Yang Kai looked at Qiong Qi with a smile.
Qiong Qi looked back at him strangely before slowly shaking his head. He didn’t feel anything.
Yang Kai said resentfully, “Check carefully.”
Qiong Qi was helpless and could only use his heart to perceive.
“Look, it’s here again!” Yang Kai suddenly said.
The corner of Qiong Qi’s eyes couldn’t help twitching, he really wanted to ask, are you playing with me? What kind of life fluctuations are you talking about? Under his perception, this dragon egg was completely dead.
But looking at Yang Kai’s confident expression, it didn’t seem like he was lying, so there was no need for him to admit that he didn’t feel anything. Wouldn’t that mean he was inferior to him? He quickly nodded and said, “Not bad, not bad, there was indeed a slight fluctuation.”
Yang Kai withdrew his hand and laughed, “You also felt it, right? But since it still has a chance of survival, why did the Dragon Race say it was a dead egg?”
Qiong Qi rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before asking, “Perhaps his vitality is too weak?”
Hearing this, Yang Kai nodded and said, “That’s a reasonable explanation.” Since he was a Dragon Race, his vitality must be extremely powerful. Such a weak vitality was almost equivalent to nothing.
“What is Young Lord’s plan?” Qiong Qi asked. Yang Kai’s interest in a dead egg was not a good sign, so Qiong Qi couldn’t help feeling worried.
Yang Kai took a deep breath and said seriously, “I want to hatch it!”
“What?” Qiong Qi stared at him in shock.
“I want to hatch it!” Yang Kai reiterated.
The corner of Qiong Qi’s mouth twitched as he tried to persuade him, but after thinking for a moment, he still asked, “Then what is Young Lord’s purpose?”
“Naturally, I’m using this to threaten that slut, Fu Zhun,” Yang Kai sneered, a sinister light flashing across his face, “This is her and Zhu Yan’s son, if it were to be hatched in my hands, would she not obey me in the future? When the time comes, if I want her to kneel, she’ll kneel, if I want her to stand, she’ll stand… hahahaha!” Yang Kai laughed wildly, causing Qiong Qi’s heart to sink.
