Who Stole My Eggs?

To raise a mountain in the abyss was a foolish dream.

Feng Yi exerted himself, expending much power in vain. He was shocked that he couldn’t even construct a small hill, nearly fainting from exhaustion.

Xie Zuo, always dissatisfied with his antics, seized the opportunity. Transforming into his original python form, he flicked Feng Yi out of the abyss with a single tail.

Wu Xiao, standing on tiptoe with eight tentacles, gazed at the shrinking red dot that was Feng Yi and sighed in relief, “Goodbye, bitch. Don’t come back again.”

Feng Yi, completely engrossed in this time, had no idea that the mighty King of the East China Sea had been reduced to this state. If this coquettish red-feathered chicken knew, he would be humiliated to death!

Unlike Wu Xiao and Huo Yao, Feng Yi didn’t spend many years with the Heavenly Father and wasn’t personally taught by him. He could only visit during holidays, but he held a unique status—this stemmed from a special circumstance. Feng Yi was hatched by the Heavenly Father.

Yes, he was hatched by Heavenly Father.

Wu Xiao vividly recalled the time when Huo Er wasn’t born amidst thunder and lightning yet, and he still the sole cub of the Heavenly Father. They had traveled to the Phoenix Clan.

These flat-haired beasts were born with a love for beauty and jealousy. From the tree they were born on to the color of their feathers, they formed countless cliques, constantly quarreling or scratching one another. There had to be a hierarchy in everything.

Initially, Heavenly Father and Wu Xiao were treated well by the phoenixes. Firstly, both were deities, and secondly, they were exceptionally handsome. Unfortunately, Wu Xiao couldn’t control his sharp tongue, and he bickered and cursed with the phoenixes along the way. After a while, they were pecked out of the clan.

Wu Xiao and Heavenly Father bore blood marks on their faces and hands, their hair disheveled by the bird’s claws. It was a chaotic scene.

Heavenly Father not only didn’t blame Wu Xiao but laughed heartily. Seeing this, Wu Xiao no longer considered himself at fault.

.

Later on, as Wu Xiao became more violent and cruel, Heavenly Father admitted his negligence in teaching. He had failed to correct Wu Xiao when he showed signs of extremism, instead acquiescing and indulging him, admiring his nonchalant and carefree demeanor, which led Wu Xiao to become increasingly uncontrollable.

While Wu Xiao didn’t mind being pecked out by the phoenixes, he was infuriated that his Heavenly Father was also bullied by these long-haired chickens. So, he returned at night to reclaim his place by acting like a monster. Instead, he discovered eggs in a sparkling lake—it was Feng Yi.

Feng Yi, with a fiery red body, appeared round and plump. At first glance, it resembled a noble egg, warmly kept by the long-haired chickens in the spiritual lake.

Wu Xiao promptly took Feng Yi back, ready to enjoy watching the Phoenixes cry over their lost ‘treasure’. Unexpectedly, when Heavenly Father saw Wu Xiao holding Feng Yi, he took a few steps back, disgust evident on his face, “Wu Zai, when did you…develop this habit? Go wash it off!”

Wu Xiao: ???

Proudly, Wu Xiao placed Feng Yi in front of Heavenly Father and declared, “This is the treasure of the Phoenix Clan that I stealthily took overnight!”

Heavenly Father recoiled, holding his breath, “How did you come into contact with this thing? This is from a septic tank?”

Wu Xiao: !!!

As it turned out, Feng Yi wasn’t a treasure nurtured in a fairy lake but a discarded rotten egg found in a septic tank.

The Phoenix family originated from the sycamore tree, transformed by the spiritual energy of Tiandi. They drank sweet springs, consumed bamboo grass daily, and were inherently clean spiritual beings.

But… it was still excrement, after all—yuck!

Wu Xiao submerged himself in the sea, scrubbing repeatedly. He then spent three days and three nights under the waterfall at the end of the world, ensuring every layer of wrinkles on his tentacles had shed multiple layers of skin before he dared to face Heavenly Father.

.

Wu Xiao coincidentally encountered Feng Yi emerging from his shell. The little furry boy took advantage of his absence to enjoy the favor. Upon Wu Xiao’s return, Feng Yi rushed to recognize his father, making incessant noises.

To Wu Xiao’s relief, although Heavenly Father hatched Feng Yi, he had no intention of raising him. Instead, he sent him back to the Phoenix Clan, allowing him only to visit during festivals.

Wu Xiao witnessed Feng Yi’s transformation from scarred to glamorous, from tall and handsome to… beautiful and sexy (@.@) as he came to pay homage to his heavenly father.

Faced with Feng Yi, Wu Xiao remained charming, exuding a sense of superiority. However, as Huo Yao emerged, he witnessed the Heavenly Father showering attention and affection upon Huo Yao. Then, jealousy within Wu Xiao intensified.

Perhaps driven by a desire to correct the mistake of leading Wu Xiao astray or influenced by other reasons, Heavenly Father taught Huo Yao step by step in an intimate manner, a stark contrast to Wu Xiao’s indulgence. This nurturing aimed to cultivate a future guardian of the world.

Jealousy spawned numerous dark emotions within Wu Xiao’s heart. As a sea giant deity, his anger stirred massive waves, causing devastation whenever unleashed.

Due to Feng Yi’s rare presence in their early life, Wu Xiao rarely revisited certain past events. However, Huo Yao consistently featured in these memories, further fueling his resentment. After contemplating for a while, Wu Xiao, infuriated, wiggled his tentacles to find Huo Yao, intending to hurl insults.

.

Unexpectedly, upon reaching the entrance of Huo Yao’s cave, he witnessed Huo Yao and Xie Zuo embracing.

In a fit of anger, Wu Xiao exclaimed, “You foolish Huo Er, release him immediately!”

Xie Zuo, feeling uncomfortable, finally seized Huo Yao, rubbing against his golden armor for relief. This little ugly octopus was here to cause trouble again!

Before Huo Yao could react, a small black snake slithered out from Xie Zuo’s sleeves, whipping Wu Xiao to the ground with its tail. It then bound his mouth and dragged him away.

Xie Zuo, unable to resist any longer, reverted to his original form.

His body bore tear stains, especially below the waist. Each mark burned intensely, causing him to exclaim, “It hurts so much! Ow… ow… ow!”

Those tear stains were from Feng Yi’s tears rubbing against Xie Zuo’s body. Phoenix tears, known for their powerful purification and healing properties, were holy objects designed to defeat evil spirits and demons.

Xie Zuo was now the purest demon in the world, and when stained with phoenix tears, even though it wouldn’t cause death, he still had to shed his skin.

Witnessing Xie Zuo’s struggles and wailing, Huo Yao no longer hesitated. He slit his wrist and fed Xie Zuo the abundant divine blood.

The potent and mellow blood poured into Xie Zuo’s mouth, significantly alleviating the pain of his flesh being corroded. While contemplating revenge against Feng Yi, Xie Zuo shrank his body, wrapping his entire snake form around Huo Yao. He buried his head, exerting all his strength to suck on Huo Yao’s wrist and drink blood.

Huo Yao stood silently, granting everything.

.

After a while, Xie Zuo’s body softened, and he fell to the ground with a ‘plop’.

This molting and growth for Xie Zuo were far more painful and tragic than the last time. Although he didn’t have the time, the skin had been purified by the phoenix tears and could no longer be used. Thus, he had to discard it promptly to get rid of it.

Huo Yao crudely fed him blood, directly catalyzing the process.

In the past, the divine power Xie Zuo drew from Huo Yao was gentle and strong, providing immense comfort. However, this time, whether due to Huo Yao’s condition or his own, the divine power in the blood was extremely hot, akin to thunder and lightning coursing through his body.

Xie Zuo’s body uncontrollably suspended in the air, and with a loud ‘pop’, the entire snake’s body exploded.

Flesh and blood rained down, and upon contact with the abyss’s blood mist, they exploded into clouds, obscuring everyone’s sight.

The blood mist gradually faded away, and Xie Zuo hung in the air with his arms open, his blood-red eyes now turned golden.

He gazed at Huo Yao with half-lidded eyes.

Facing his unfocused eyes, Huo Yao’s heart trembled. Oh no, Xie Zuo hadn’t regained his consciousness at this moment. It was not good…

As expected, Xie Zuo lunged at Huo Yao as soon as he landed on the ground.

Powered by an unknown force, he overpowered Huo Yao, who was much taller and stronger.

This second shedding of Xie Zuo’s skin had transformed him, making him significantly taller than before. He had shed his immature boyishness, now appearing as a grown adult man. The long hair he had cut to save Huo Yao had grown back, cascading from his shoulders like water, densely falling over Huo Yao.

Looking up at Xie Zuo, Huo Yao observed his current appearance, 90% similar to that of his heavenly father, especially those golden eyes…

Observing Xie Zuo’s transformed state, Huo Yao’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he finally couldn’t resist asking, “Who are you?”

Was it really as he suspected, the blood of the Heavenly Father and the former Demon King Xie Xiao, or…

Xie Zuo was oblivious to Huo Yao’s racing thoughts, his body on the verge of explosion, his mind in disarray, forcefully lifted Huo Yao’s shirt, lowered his head, and bit his lips fiercely.
