Who Stole My Eggs?

Other kid?

Xie Zuo and Huo Yao looked at each other. What could they do? For fear of the little snake becoming jealous, they had never told him that their second child was kept in Xie Zuo’s demon core.

Xie Zuo was deeply touched that the little snake could take the initiative to think of his younger brother. He was such a generous and good baby! However, if he told the little snake directly, the child might think he was being partial…

Xie Zuo’s embarrassed expression fell into the little snake’s eyes and turned into unwillingness to take back the second child. That wouldn’t work!

The little snake became anxious and said, “Dad, of course, I know that I am very good, very brave, and very cute. No one who has an heir like me would want to have a second child. However, the second child is the first comrade of our family after all. Isn’t it inappropriate to keep him somewhere else? We’re leaving early tomorrow morning. Are we really not going to take him with us?”

The little snake had been living a happy and contented life, and he had become tolerant of the second child, who had indirectly caused him great harm. He himself had been abandoned before and knew how painful that experience was, so he couldn’t bear to let his second sibling endure the same.

Xie Zuo was always at a loss when facing the little snake. He grabbed Huo Yao’s hand, asking for help and indicating with his eyes: ‘What should I do? Tell him or keep it a secret?’

Huo Yao was about to speak, but Xie Zuo beat him to it. “I’ll do it. Baby, Daddy wants to confess something to you.”

“What is it, Daddy?” The little snake’s watery golden eyes looked at Xie Zuo innocently.

So cute—this beautiful child had been born by him and Huo Yao! Xie Zuo’s heart melted from sweetness. He caught the little snake and kissed him twice. “Don’t be angry with Daddy. Actually, your brother has been raised in Daddy’s demon core because of his poor health. So, when we move tomorrow, he will come with us. By the way, you also have a sister who has been sleeping for a long time while preparing to transform. She is in Daddy’s demon soul tree.”

The little snake froze in disbelief. ‘What?!’

Daddy had lied to him again! Why had he been told his siblings were fostered elsewhere? Ahhhhh, this was not fair. He had to sleep with his uncle at night, but the second child had been with their daddy day and night!

The little snake stiffened for a long time, and then big tears rolled down his face like broken pearls. “Waaaaah! Daddy, you big bad guy, you lied to me again! You’re biased—!”

The little snake’s hoarse complaints echoed in the room. After all, the evil thing Xie Zuo had done was partiality.

“I’m sorry,” Xie Zuo admitted his mistake obediently. “Daddy had just recognized you at the time, so I was afraid you’d be angry. Daddy treats you the same—no, no, no, Daddy loves you more.”

The little snake opened his mouth, ready to cry again, but Huo Yao interrupted coldly, “Have you done enough?”

The little snake was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth.

Huo Yao looked at the little snake sternly. “I’ve explained the cause and effect to you clearly before. Your daddy didn’t do it on purpose—it was all because I lied to him. He didn’t even know you were his child at the time. To find you, he endured so much pain and suffering.”

It was the first time the little snake had been criticized by Huo Yao, and he didn’t dare to argue.

Huo Yao continued, “You’re the elder brother, and you should set an example. How can you be sour and jealous all day long? I think Wu Xiao has been leading you astray.”

Xie Zuo secretly thought: ‘I’m convinced. He never forgets to step on Wu Xiao. How much does he really dislike him?’

The little snake pouted, feeling aggrieved and scared.

Huo Yao softened his tone and said, “The fact that you reminded us about your brother shows that you love him, too. You’re a good boy who cares about family. From now on, your daddy and I will rest assured leaving this family in your hands.”

The little snake was suddenly encouraged by Huo Yao’s words. His father was praising him—did this mean his father recognized him as the future master of the family? Suppressing the jealousy in his heart, he puffed up his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Father. I won’t let you down. Take the second son and sister with us, and let’s all move together!”

The little snake looked at Xie Zuo again, lowered his head, and rubbed the back of his hand. “I’m sorry, daddy, I won’t settle old scores again.”

While stroking the little snake, Xie Zuo cast an admiring glance at Huo Yao. ‘Awesome, after scolding the little snake, you give him a sweet date; you can do it easily!’

The little snake’s sad past was revealed, and his relationship with Xie Zuo was completely resolved. Then, he made a new request.

“I want to sleep with you,” the little snake swam between Xie Zuo and Huo Yao. “You can’t just hold your second child!”

Okay, let him do whatever he wanted. Today was also the family’s last night in the Asura World, so it would be nice to sleep together.

.

The next day, as Xie Zuo and his family were getting ready, there was a sudden uproar at the gate of the palace.

Xie Zuo and Huo Yao opened the palace door together and found two groups of people crowded outside.

The team on the left was a group of sturdy Asuras, all wrapped in dark hoods and cloaks. They were all Huo Yao’s guards here. On the right side were the nine demon attendants dressed in splendid attire, headed by She Li.

She Li and the leading Asura were still normal, but the ones behind them were beaten into a ball by ‘you kicking me and me kicking you’.

As soon as Xie Zuo and Huo Yao appeared, both teams became more honest and consciously separated into separate teams.

She Li took the first step and knelt down. “Welcome, Your Majesty and his family, back to the palace!”

The leader Asura was so angry at their shamelessness that he blushed and became thick-necked. He also knelt on the ground and said to Huo Yao, “Your Majesty, you must not listen to the temptations of these evildoers. You must not abandon us!”

Huo Luo, the demon attendant, spoke in the loudest voice, “How shameless! This is our Majesty, this is our queen, our prince. He has lived in this ungrateful place for a long enough time. Why don’t you let him go? Let’s go!”

The Asura guard barely suppressed his anger and said, “Please allow me to drive them out, Your Majesty. They came early in the morning with a letter from the queen. We didn’t dare to disobey, so we let them into the city. Who knew they were so shameless!”

Xie Zuo asked, “What letter?”

She Li respectfully handed over the new master-servant contract signed by them and Xie Zuo and said proudly, “With this document, we can follow His Majesty in heaven and on earth.”

Xie Zuo: Okay, weren’t you unwilling before? But this attitude had changed too quickly.
