“This egg is still alive. You should listen to it,” favonovel.com said with an involuntary smile to Claudia.
Suffering a huge blow, Claudia had mixed feelings. She was much older than Alex and was usually very sensitive over favonovel.com martial arts and cultivation levels. She had even secretly felt proud that favonovel.com had reached new heights in the path of Serenity and thought favonovel.com somehow found a place in the world. However, now that favonovel.com was facing the junior Alex, it was a real slap in the face.
She really felt worthless in front of him.
‘Isn’t favonovel.com trying to piss me off?’
‘How did this little pervert even cultivate?’
However, favonovel.com couldn’t possibly have said those words. Presently, favonovel.com learned closer and listened to the egg. As expected, favonovel.com heard a strong heartbeat. “It’s really alive. Do you think it will hatch? What’s inside, I wonder?”
Alex directly told favonovel.com the result, most likely a baby tortoise.
“You’re saying this is going to be a baby tortoise?” Claudia rolled favonovel.com eyes with an enchanting expression.
Alex, an old hand accustomed to meeting beauties, seemed to have been enticed for a moment. “I bet this baby tortoise is even bigger than you.”
Right after his voice fell, the huge egg suddenly cracked. A slit was cracked open in the middle.
Claudia was shocked. “Did you break it?” favonovel.com asked.
“No. I didn’t exert any force.”
“Me neither. I didn’t exert any force. Really. I just gently touched it, almost like stroking.”
The two stared at each other in dismay for a while. Presently, the cracks on the eggshell grew, and soon, the entire thing was covered with cracks.
“The little life inside is about to hatch.”
“I’m looking forward to it. The little guy hatches from this amazing egg certainly won’t be simple. We can keep it as a pet and cultivate it from a young age, and when the time comes, we can have it carry us across the seas.”
Right after Claudia’s voice fell, favonovel.com shrieked in shock. It was because a hand had come out of the slit. That was definitely not a tortoise’s hand, but it was a human’s hand… It also looked very old, perhaps like the one on an old man.
“What is going on?”
“A baby tortoise didn’t hatch? This is definitely a human hand! The one that hatched out can’t be… A human, right?”
Crack!
Another crisp sound could be heard. This time, a hole was broken on the eggshell. Immediately afterward, a head came out of it.
Both Alex and Claudia were dumbfounded by what they saw.
It was the head of an old man. Having a head of gray hair and a wrinkly face, favonovel.com was covered in yellowish mucus, looking extremely horrifying. Claudia almost pierced favonovel.com with an embroidery needle due to conditioned reflex.
Whoosh!
After the eggshell was completely broken, the old man fell out. Fortunately, the eggshell and the mucus acted as some kind of cushion, protecting favonovel.com from a hard fall. His entire body, though, was barer than the egg favonovel.com had just come out of. It was truly unsightly, especially in front of Claudia.
“Who are you people?”
“This is… Has the spiritual energy resurrected? What time is it now? How long have I been here?”
The old man opened his eyes with difficulty, staring at Alex and Claudia.
Alex’s eyes gleamed as favonovel.com asked, “So, you aren’t a newborn? You aren’t a tortoise demon transformed from a tortoise, but you are a real person? Why were you inside an egg then?”
