Heavenly Beast’s Egg

A gigantic white bird flapped its wings in the air. Its body was at least five meters long, and its entire body was covered in white feathers. Under the moonlight, it looked like clusters of white flames. Its sharp claws were like hooks, gleaming with a cold light. At this moment, it was glaring angrily at her, and from its mouth, it let out a series of warning and angry screeches.

Ye Ningxue's entire body was trembling, and her eyes were wide with fear. She hugged the white egg and retreated step by step, but she did not put it down.

The bird's screeches became sharper and sharper each time. It had a gentle temperament and would never hurt anyone. Even though this little human had already touched upon its greatest taboo, it still issued a warning to give her a chance. After three warnings, she hugged the egg tighter and tighter, attacking the bottom line of its patience.

"I beg you … Can you give this egg to me? Big Brother needs it, I can't live without Big Brother." Ye Ningxue pleaded as she retreated, and within the deep fear, there was an even deeper determination.

"My name is Ye Ningxue … In the future, I will definitely visit you often, play with you … I will bring you lots of delicious food. Can you give it to me … I really need it."

"I know it is your little baby … I am such a selfish person, I can't live without Big Brother. I beg you, can you give it to me … "

Heavenly Beasts had very high intelligence, but they were usually unable to understand human speech. Even if they could understand, how could it allow her to take its child away?

Finally, after five warnings, its patience ran dry. With a sharp screech, it swooped down, and with its two claws that glinted with a cold light, one clawed at Ye Ningxue's face, and the other clawed at the egg in her arms.

Ye Ningxue let out a scream of fear, and closed her frightened eyes, subconsciously hugging the egg in her arms tightly. The Heavenly Bird approached in an instant, and the powerful pressure almost tore her body apart. Ningxue let out a scream of despair: "No … I want to save Big Brother, I don't want Big Brother to leave me …"

The sharp claws that seemed to be able to cut through space clawed at Ningxue's face, landing on the two scars that had completely destroyed her face. At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from Ningxue's body, and the scars on her face also faded in the white light, until they completely disappeared, revealing an unbelievably exquisite face. Regardless of whether it was her tightly shut eyes, trembling long eyelashes, straight nose, tender lips, or even her skin that was even more tender than snow, they were all so perfect and flawless. Perhaps, 'beautiful' and 'unparalleled' were not enough to describe it, but under the combination, this only ten year old girl had a suffocating beauty, as if the heavens had poured all their efforts into this face. Although the shallow scars left by the thorns were still there, strangely, they did not destroy this shocking perfection. Instead, they evoked boundless pity from others.

Perhaps even the heavens were beginning to feel jealous of this face, and thus used the two scars to completely destroy it. Now, they were mercifully taking it back.

The moment the scars faded, a piercing white light enveloped the entire mountaintop. A miserable cry of a bird pierced through the sky, so loud that even the people in Tian Lie Town, who were five kilometres away, could hear it clearly, waking up many of the residents who were sleeping soundly.

This incomparably powerful Heavenly Beast, which was one level away from becoming an invincible Deity, was being devoured bit by bit by the white light. In just a few seconds, its massive body was completely devoured, turning into ashes in the air, leaving not a single trace behind. When the white light dissipated, Ningxue, whose eyes were tightly shut, finally fell to the ground, unconscious. Her hands were still tightly hugging the Heavenly Bird's egg, and the two huge scars that had disappeared reappeared on her face, turning from shallow to deep until they returned to normal.

"Big brother …"

While unconscious, she spoke in a trembling voice, and clenched her fists, afraid that she would lose the thing that could save her big brother.

In the wee hours of the morning, the sky had already begun to brighten, and Ningxue, who had been soaked in dew, finally woke up. She immediately hugged the thing that was even more precious than her life, and her expression relaxed. She nervously looked around, but did not see the massive white bird. She stared blankly for a while, and only remembered that it had suddenly rushed towards her … and that she had fainted from fright.

She did not think about it. She did not dare to stay any longer, and she struggled to stand up, then hurriedly ran down the mountain. Every moment that she wasted, her big brother's life would be in more danger.

Early in the morning, the sky was already bright. Grandfather Long stretched and walked out of his room, and said to Long Zheng Yang, "Yang 'Er, go back after breakfast. Remember to dress up, and don't let anyone recognise you."

"Yes. That's right, grandfather, did you hear any strange sounds in the middle of the night? "Long Zheng Yang asked curiously.

Grandfather Long nodded, "If I'm not wrong, that was the cry of the Scorching Bird. Perhaps someone offended it again … I'm going to go see my new granddaughter."

Creak …

The old wooden door was pushed open, and Ye Ningxue, who was on the verge of collapse, stood there. Her snow-white hair was incredibly messy, and was covered with sand and leaves. Her entire body was drenched, and there were a few painful scratches on her face. She stretched out her trembling hands, and raised the white egg. Her lips moved, but before she could say anything, her vision darkened, and she fell to the ground.

Grandfather Long recovered from his shock, and hurriedly went to support her. He caught the white egg, but found that she had once again fainted. Because of him, she had fainted countless times over the past two days.

An extremely shocked voice sounded behind Elder Long, "This is … the egg of the Scorching Bird. I just saw it yesterday. This … could it be … she actually, actually …"

Old Master Long suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sore. He sighed softly. "Silly child, what a silly child!"

He placed the Scorching Bird's egg in Long Zheng Yang's hands, "Yang 'Er, you know what to do. Don't ruin this child's good intentions."

"I understand." Long Zheng Yang received the egg, and hurriedly walked into the room.

Half an hour later, Long Zheng Yang brought a small bowl of soup to the room where Ye Wuchen was lying. Grandfather Long was anxiously pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. Seeing Long Zheng Yang walk in, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

Long Zheng Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I've already sent all of the Innate Qi from the egg into it. If this little brother hasn't died yet, it should be enough for him to live for another half a month."

Grandfather Long nodded, and took the bowl. "This young man's life force is unexpectedly strong. Leave it to me."
