Who Stole My Eggs?

At night, Xie Zuo rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the medical books he had collected, racking his brains to save Bai Hualiang’s life. However, those strange prescriptions in medical books either treated the symptoms but not the root cause, or could even kill people and were completely useless.

“It’s useless, they’re all useless!” Xie Zuo threw the last medical book to the ground and slumped down on the chair angrily.

Neither immortal magic nor human magic was good, so he should watch Bai Hualiang die??

Xie Zuo looked at Huo Yao, who had been meditating silently beside him, picked up a book and threw it at him, “Why didn’t you help? Didn’t you already know this!”

Huo Yao raised his hand, grabbed the book, and stood up. He picked up all the medical books that Xie Zuo had thrown away and placed them neatly on the desk, “Go wash up and rest.”

Xie Zuo punched the table hard, his eyes red, “I don’t want to rest, I want to save her!”

“The queen’s end of life is approaching and there is nothing you can do to save her. All you can do is stay with her for a few more days.”

Xie Zuo covered his ears, “Don’t tell me such nonsense! Is there really nothing you can do? Aren’t you the Great Deity of Thunder? Don’t you claim to be the strongest in the six realms? You can’t even extend the lifespan of a mere mortal?”

Although Huo Yao liked him, he would never let him make unreasonable troubles. He said seriously: “The matter of life and death is connected with Tiandi. You can’t interfere. Forcibly extending other’s life will bring immeasurable consequences. Don’t mess around.”

Xie Zuo raised his voice, “Am I messing around? How can I mess around! I am a useless mortal now and can’t do anything.”

He was really fed up now and didn’t want to listen to Huo Yao preaching to him. He got up and left the study, saying: “Don’t follow me.”

.

After Xie Zuo took a bath, most of the anger in his heart was gone, and he began to regret it. He had been too impulsive just now. Huo Yao didn’t seem to have done anything wrong, so why should he vent his anger on him…

He wiped his hair in a hurry and turned over on the bed.

Xie Zuo laid with his hands and feet spread out, staring at the top of the bed with his eyes open, not feeling sleepy at all.

These days, Huo Yao hugged him every night, but suddenly he was the only one left on the bed. Why was this bed so empty?

He was tossing and turning when he suddenly saw Huo Yao’s tall figure behind the screen. He immediately laid down with his back to him, pretending to be asleep.

Huo Yao took off his shoes and hugged him after getting into bed.

Xie Zuo remained motionless.

Huo Yao started to kiss him, Xie Zuo couldn’t pretend anymore and turned around to push him: “Get out!”

Huo Yao held his hand and kissed his fingers, “Sit up and I’ll help you dry your hair, don’t sleep with wet hair otherwise you’ll have a headache.”

“It’ll be better for my head to hurt so much, so I don’t have to worry anymore!”

Huo Yao forcibly pulled him up and wiped his hair carefully with a large, thin white cotton towel.

“According to Bai Hualiang’s original fate, she should have died of illness when the prince was eight years old. Losing his mother at a young age was the first hardship that Prince Yunzhao had to endure.” Huo Yao said, “Because you replaced Mu Rong as the prince, her fate has changed because of you, she has lived ten more years.”

Xie Zuo listened silently, as long as he thought that he would never see Bai Hualiang again, his heart would shrink into a ball in pain.

“Is there no other way?”

Huo Yao’s hand paused, removed the cloth, and kissed Xie Zuo’s slightly wet hair, “Let nature take its course.”

Two tears fell on the back of Huo Yao’s hand.

Huo Yao looked at Xie Zuo, who was secretly wiping away his tears with his head tilted to the side, and felt strong love and emotion in his heart. Although Xie Zuo was born as a demon king, he had seven emotions and six desires and a heart that loved others. He was really a… good boy.

Huo Yao hugged Xie Zuo and laid down, “Go to sleep quickly, it’s almost dawn.”

Xie Zuo pondered over what Huo Yao had just said, “My mother’s life has been extended because of me? Why?”

“This is also my guess,” Huo Yao said, touching his hair repeatedly, “You have become one with life. Remember the wooden doll I made for you; the wood has the effect of nourishing all things. People around you may be affected to a greater or lesser extent. For example, Mu Rong, you two always hang out together all day long and he never gets sick.”

Xie Zuo didn’t hear any jealousy in Huo Yao’s words, “Then if I sleep in my mother’s bed every day from now on, won’t she be able to live to old age?”

Huo Yao couldn’t bear to hit him, so he remained silent.

Xie Zuo also understood and fell silent. After a while, he said sourly: “Your heavenly father is so kind to you.”

“Yeah,” Huo Yao rubbed his hair affectionately, “You are so good to me. It’s also very good.”

Xie Zuo felt much better and gave Huo Yao another proposition, “I’m surprised. Since you like me, why did you reject me when you were in the abyss?”

Huo Yao took a breath. He knew Xie Zuo too well. If Xie Zuo knew that he couldn’t distinguish the person in his heart at that time, he would definitely make a fuss.

Huo Yao didn’t say anything, but Xie Zuo could figure it out for himself. He sneered and said: “How can I, the majestic demon king, not be worthy of you? Why do you have any hesitation?”

Huo Yao finally understood. Xie Zuo felt unhappy tonight, so he wanted to trouble to vent his unhappiness.

“You’re not sleepy, are you? Come here!”
