Who Stole My Eggs?

Every time Xie Zuo went home, what he looked forward to most was meeting his mother, Bai Hualiang, his mother from this world. Bai Hualiang was his favorite woman and the most perfect woman in his mind.

Xie Zuo’s initial impression of women only came from the inheritance of demon kings of all generations. His biological mother Xie Xiao was the only female demon king in the history of the demon world, or the only demon king who presented herself as a woman.

According to the inheritance, Xie Xiao was more than two meters tall, with long fiery red hair and bronze skin. She had a curvy figure. In her spare time, she often just wore a robe with a hollow inside and walked around with her bare feet and thighs exposed, hunting for beauty.

Xie Xiao was so strong that she wished she play live day and night. She spent her whole life expanding territories and doing whatever she wanted. She also died a spectacular death. She was a demon king who made a name for herself in the history of the demon world.

Although Xie Xiao gave birth to Xie Zuo, they only had a blood relationship with him but no close familial feeling. Poor Xie Zuo was targeted by Huo Yao as soon as he was born. Before he could carry forward his achievements, he was pierced by a huge and terrifying thunder and lightning and fell straight into the abyss.

In fact, if he really thought about it, Huo Yao was the one who raised Xie Zuo. However, Huo Yao treated him simply and roughly, and the whole process was filled with Xie Zuo’s blood and tears.

After being suppressed by Huo Yao in the abyss, the second woman Xie Zuo saw was the little demon rabbit who was willing to sacrifice herself to Huo Yao. She was white, soft, and frail and shed tears at every turn. She was a typical woman in the Immortal Realm.

Later, Xie Zuo followed Huo Yao to Beiyuan and met all kinds of women in the human race. Some were rough and passionate like Aunt Lu, others lived a regular and boring life, and some were mavericks. But they all had one thing in common, that was, they loved their children very much and had infinite patience and love for those young children.

When Xie Zuo was in the abyss, he often listened to Lao Luo’s stories about loyalty, filial piety, and justice. This big tongue demon especially liked to talk about filial piety. But it would always go into his one ear and out the other. When he got impatient, he would just roll up the big tongue and stuff it inside the book, so it was unable to speak again for a short period of time.

.

However, this time he was reincarnated into the human world and grew up from a weak infant to a handsome young man. He personally experienced how his mother Bai Hualiang loved him without reservation. Then he thought of Lao Luo’s “Book of Filial Piety”. He finally understood it a little bit.

If possible, Xie Zuo really hoped to live with Bai Hualiang and King Yunlin as family forever. However, compared with the demon clan, human beings grew too slowly and aged too quickly. It seemed that Bai Hualiang went from being beautiful with black hair to having white hair in just an instant.

Bai Hualiang’s health had not been very good in the past few years. Xie Zuo often used immortal grass to nourish her body, but the effect was not great. The last time he came back was half a year ago. Seeing that she was already showing signs of being short-lived, he became increasingly worried.

After entering the palace, he saw that only King Yunlin was sitting high in the hall, and the seat next to him was empty. Xie Zuo’s excited heart suddenly sank. He suddenly thought of the wedding that was just around the corner, and he thought of Imperial Teacher Wen, who taught him etiquette in a hurry, was actually because…

King Yunlin was naturally overjoyed when he saw his only son returning from his studies. However, the pain and exhaustion could not be concealed between the king’s eyebrows and eyes.

They had not seen each other for half a year, but his father’s hair was actually more than half gray, and the lines between his eyebrows were as deep as ravines.

Xie Zuo patiently followed the instructions of the etiquette officials and completed a lot of ceremonials. He thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, King Yunlin ordered him to supervise the country again.

The prince supervised the country, usually when the king was away from the capital or was seriously ill. Although King Yunlin looked much older, his health was not bad, so it could only be…

Xie Zuo accepted the important task of supervising the country, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He was afraid that something bad would be happening to Bai Hualiang.

As he expected, after the court was over, Xie Zuo was called over by King Yunlin, “Come with me to see your mother. She misses you very much.”

“How is my mother?”

King Yunlin sighed deeply, “The imperial doctor said she only has two months. She has been looking forward to seeing you get married, so she set your wedding date in advance. Now that you are back, everything should go according to her, and don’t mess with her. Just let your mother be happy.”

.

Xie Zuo’s eyes immediately turned red when he saw Bai Hualiang lingering on the bed. He knelt down in front of the bed and pressed his face against the back of her skinny hand, “Mother…”

Bai Hualiang raised her other hand with difficulty, touching his cheek tenderly, “Good boy, you are finally back. Mother misses you…let mother take a good look at you.”

Xie Zuo raised his head, held back tears with all his strength, and said with a forced smile: “Look at your son. Is he the most beautiful man in the world?”

Bai Hualiang looked at him lovingly. “Yes, my son has a noble appearance and is quite handsome. He is the best man in the world, and he will also be the greatest king of Yunzhao.”

King Yunlin sat down by the bed, held her hand, and feigned dissatisfaction. “Nonsense, the greatest king is clearly your husband.”

Bai Hualiang laughed through tears. “How old are you, and you’re still jealous of your son?”

“That won’t do,” King Yunlin insisted. “The best man in your mind can only be me. This kid, just go away.”

Bai Hualiang’s face beamed with happiness as she looked at her husband and son. “With both of you here, I feel that life is complete.”

King Yunlin understood her sentiment. “The wedding has been prepared. We just wait for Zhao’er to pick up Princess Lin, and he will marry her immediately.”

“Yes,” Bai Hualiang nodded eagerly.

King Yunlin’s expression softened. “Yunzhao has grown up, become more mature and stable, and gets along well with Huo Yao, so I feel relieved. He has liked the boys of the Huo family very much since he was a child. I remember that when he was one year old, he even gave away his bellyband, hahaha!”

Bai Hualiang’s expression shifted slightly as she glanced at Xie Zuo.

Xie Zuo acted oblivious and smoothly changed the subject. “Who remembers what happened when I was a child? He’s now a powerful general, so I will naturally treat him preferentially. Mother, I will fetch Xiao Lin at the beginning of next month. She is very lively and cute. You will definitely like her when you see her.”

Bai Hualiang’s eyes sparkled with anticipation and joy at the mention of Princess Lin. Quietly, she felt reassured. It seemed that he had truly moved on from the past, and it was the right decision to separate him from Huo Yao.

Bai Hualiang’s health had truly deteriorated, but she forced herself to converse with Xie Zuo for a while before drifting off to sleep.

King Yunlin turned away, wiping the tears from his eyes, and advised Xie Zuo, “You’ve been running around for days and must be exhausted. Go rest now. Remember to visit your mother in the morning and evening. I want you to spend more time with her.”

“Understood.”

.

Leaving the emperor’s palace, Xie Zuo’s forced smile vanished instantly, his mood plummeting.

Human life proved too short and fragile, yet the connections between people ran deep and profound, enduring even beyond death. It was no wonder that even after reincarnation, destined individuals would reunite.

Unknowingly, he arrived at his bedroom door.

Xie Zuo slapped his forehead. He had completely forgotten about Huo Yao, despite inviting him to spend the night.

With a creak, the door opened, revealing Huo Yao stepping out. “You are back.”

Xie Zuo glanced around.

“Don’t worry, I’ve sent everyone else away,” Huo Yao assured him.

Xie Zuo rushed forward, embracing him tightly. “I feel so unsettled!”

It was odd. Back in the abyss, he faced lightning strikes daily and endured without complaint. Now, as the noble Crown Prince in the human world, free from such torment, the psychological strain proved almost unbearable.

It seemed the human realm’s reputation as the most tormenting among the six realms was well-deserved.
