Who Stole My Eggs?

“Bang—!” With a sound, a demon’s head was thrown heavily to the ground by Huo Yao, causing bursts of blood mist to rise.

Huo Yao stepped on it and said, “Tell me, have you seen it?”

The big-headed demon shouted hurriedly, “Spare my life, spare my life, Deity of Thunder, I say! I have seen the big egg following Old Wu and Big Tongue. Wherever they go, it will follow. Really!”

“Old Wu and Big Tongue?”

That was Wu Xiao and Lao Luo!

“Lao Luo has never wanted to see Wu Xiao. Why would he be with him?” Xie Zuo threatened the big-headed demon with a stern face, “Go and tell all the demons who have seen them to come over and report the situation. I will wait for you for an hour. Otherwise…” He showed two sharp tiger teeth, “I will kill you all one by one.”

“Yes, yes!” The big-headed demon ran away with tears streaming down its face.

Absolute strength brought absolute obedience. After a while, Xie Zuo’s threat spread throughout the abyss, and evil demons came to report one after another.

“When I just woke up, I saw the big egg passing by. I was so scared that I quickly fell asleep again,” reported a demon, its brain was not quite clear.

“I saw it with the octopus of the East China Sea, and it even let the octopus ride on its head!”

“The big tongue tried to take the golden egg away, but the golden egg didn’t listen to it and knocked it away. It went down with the smelly octopus.”

The abyss was vast, and time and space were chaotic. These demons suffered there day and night, with almost no accurate concept of time and space, and their descriptions were also confusing.

However, they all saw the big golden egg near their places. Based on these locations, Xie Zuo and Huo Yao drew the walking route map of the big golden egg.

It must have followed Wu Xiao from the door of Xie Zuo’s house to the abyss crevice not long after Xie Zuo left. It met Lao Luo on the way, and Lao Luo tried to dissuade it to no avail, so he had to follow them.

The last place they appeared was at the edge of the abyssal rift!

“Wu Xiao…” Huo Yao wanted to tear Wu Xiao’s heart out alive!

.

The abyss crack was the most dangerous place in the entire abyss. It was a place where countless times and spaces intersected. Many ancient demons and evil corpses were buried inside. All the evil demons there were afraid to go near that place, and even Xie Zuo tended to avoid it. Wu Xiao actually dared to take their child to such a place!

The big golden egg perfectly inherited Xie Zuo’s demonic power and Huo Yao’s divine power, and was extremely smart and alert. Huo Yao never worried that it would get hurt, but now, he was really worried!

It was easy to find the direction once they knew it. Xie Zuo and Huo Yao immediately rushed to the abyss crevice.

“Your Majesty—! Your Majesty—!”

As soon as they arrived nearby, they heard Lao Luo’s cry, but the sound was muffled and sounded like it was being locked up somewhere.

Xie Zuo searched around, moved a big stone, and then dug up a thick layer of soil, and found him!

Lao Luo was tied up and buried by Wu Xiao. When he saw Xie Zuo, he cried even harder, “Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I couldn’t stop the little prince—!”

The little prince? What was that? The egg wasn’t a child? He didn’t admit it!

Lao Luo’s tone once again reminded him of Imperial Teacher Wen.

Xie Zuo stretched out his hand to untie Lao Luo. Unexpectedly, the hemp rope was actually a living thing, and it was very fierce. Electricity exploded from its body and it turned into a small snake with lightning patterns all over its body. It bit Xie Zuo’s hand unceremoniously.

Xie Zuo’s hand went numb, and he accurately caught the little snake with his other hand. This familiar routine made Xie Zuo dumbfounded, “Bold!”

The little snake flashed and disappeared.

Xie Zuo shook his numb hands and asked Lao Luo, “Was it the golden egg that tied you up?”

Lao Luo wiped away his tears in frustration, “Yes. It was none of the little prince’s business. He was confused by Wu Xiao—”

“Lao Luo, if you were in the world, you would definitely be a famous person next to the emperor. You should really consider your master.” Xie Zuo picked up Lao Luo and dusted him off, “Why did it get together with Wu Xiao? What were they doing? Where did they go?”

Lao Luo said reproachfully, “You left the little prince alone. He felt very lonely. He just follows Wu Xiao after being coaxed by him?”

Xie Zuo and Huo Yao began to reflect on themselves.

Lao Luo said, “The little prince must have just been greedy for fun. Wu Xiao, hum, he must have had bad intentions—! Oh no! It’s going to use the Yin energy in the crack to swallow the little prince and then parasitize the little prince’s body. Go find him—!”

Lao Luo, even more anxious than Xie Zuo, staggered and was about to rush into the crack, but he was grabbed back. “Just wait here while I will go find him. You think too highly of yourself. Wait here!”

Huo Yao said, “You stay here to guard against other evil things. We will be back soon.”

“Your Majesty—!” Lao Luo was moved to tears, “Yes, yes—”
