Chapter 658: Chapter 656 Xiaoba Hatching
Having learned that Ancestor Heng was giving gifts to the children, Sally hurriedly said, “You’re being too generous, Grandpa. These kids of mine have been poorly disciplined and are quite naive, please take the gifts back.”
The children who had received the Little Storage Bags had already started sorting through the treasures when they heard Sally’s words and were immediately stunned.
Ancestor Heng stopped them, “The children have already called me Grandpa, how can I not give them gifts? Come, come, who’s next?”
Sally looked toward You Hao and saw his face beaming with a radiant smile, knowing it must have been his idea. She walked over to him and pinched him hard.
You Hao’s smile became even more splendid, and he embraced her, “Where is the fox?”
“He received your Sound Transmission Talisman and went to pick up the other kids…” Sally said softly.
You Hao nodded in satisfaction.
Little Shiqi received a Little Storage Bag and approached Sally, “Mom, for brother.”
“No need, you keep it.” Sally put the Little Storage Bag on Little Shiqi and then handed Xiaoba to You Hao.
She didn’t feel right about asking Ancestor Heng for gifts.
You Hao, holding Xiaoba, said to Ancestor Heng, “This child, could you see why he won’t hatch?”
“And the Guardian Divine Dragon?” Ancestor Heng had already seen Xiaoba earlier, but at that time Xiaoba was lying in the egg cabin and it was not apparent there was a Guardian Dragon present. Moreover, at this moment, the Guardian Dragon’s eyes were exceptionally bright, as if it had spotted a treasure.
Looking at the Little Storage Bag in his hand, Ancestor Heng smiled, “No dragon dislikes treasures. Here, take two, one for each of you.”
The Little Golden Dragon swallowed one Little Storage Bag, and Xiaoba took the other.
Xiaoba had already awakened from his deep sleep.
“Do you want me to help him break out of the shell?” Ancestor Heng asked Sally.
Sally nodded, “Yes, this child has already reached God Rank but is still inside the egg. His Father Emperor is getting anxious; he even struck him with lightning the day before yesterday.”
You Hao was astonished, asking Sally, “Really struck him?”
“Yes,” Sally replied. “You can ask Little Beibei. If it weren’t for Welly shielding the private room with a Barrier, Zulu’s restaurant would have been flattened.”
You Hao: “…!”
Ancestor Heng took Xiaoba and, after examining him for a moment, said with a kindly smile, “Would you like to travel the Myriad Realms with me? You have a Sixteenth Oldest Sister, right? We can go find her. Do you want to go?”
“Crack—” The golden eggshell split open!
A cute, golden, hatchling with lovely dragon horns emerged! The only contrasting color was a pair of crystal purple eyes, twinkling as if they were filled with thousands of stars. With its fluffy golden body and strong, stout legs, even the pads of its claws were golden. Its long tail, with three segments like a horse’s, moved gently, and a gentle breeze followed, peaceful and tranquil.
The golden nose twitched as it looked at Sally with a voice that could melt hearts, “Mom~”
“Uh!” Sally was completely astonished!
She had always thought that Xiaoba would look like Zi Qi, and indeed there was a resemblance in those eyes. But aside from the eyes, there was no similarity at all!
Little Miqi, holding Xiaoqi, ran over and Little Fifteen also approached.
Especially Little Fifteen, her eyes stared straight ahead, “So… so beautiful! I really want one! I’m going to marry him!!!”
Xiaoqi immediately Teleported over and tapped Little Fifteen on the head neither too lightly nor too heavily, “This is my little brother, your older brother! Don’t get any funny ideas~”
Despite being hit, Little Fifteen didn’t mind and said with regret, “…What a pity!”
Little Shiqi circled around Ancestor Heng, eyeing Xiaoba, “Brother is so handsome!”
In the sky, auspicious clouds of nine colors gathered, signifying the arrival of a Divine Status.
The Divine Status which usually required contemplation and trials before descending was especially efficient this time. The shining golden Divine Status hurried as if afraid Xiaoba would reject it, settling on his forehead.
Immediately, Xiaoba’s beautiful Beast Body gained a divine quality, emitting a dazzling Divine Light.
Ancestor Heng formed a gesture with one hand, and soon a colorful rune hung in the air.
“What is that?” Sally asked You Hao softly. After all, Zi Qi wasn’t here, and she couldn’t explain any mishap to him.
“A master-disciple contract.”
“Master and disciple… wait, that wouldn’t mess up the seniority, would it?”
“Anyone can call anyone, it doesn’t matter. However, Xiaoba’s fortune is indeed great.”
“Fortune? Speaking of which, what exactly is this Ancestor Heng’s background?” Sally had come over and saw the children receiving their little gift bags and hadn’t even managed to ask.
“During the eternal ancient times before heaven and earth had formed, three souls appeared, and Ancestor Heng was one of them. He now rules over the Origin Realm! His coming to the Lower Realm is mostly related to Jian.”
“Jian?” Sally was stunned.
In the midst of talking, Xiaoba had already completed the contract with Ancestor Heng. Xiaoba had separated a drop of its essence blood to form a master-disciple bond with Ancestor Heng.
Ancestor Heng held Xiaoba in his arms and said to Sally, “This child wants to go to other worlds. Fortunately, once I’m done with the business in the Lower Realm, I’m going to travel with another old guy; we can take him along.”
“I can’t decide this alone; I need his Father Emperor’s agreement,” Sally replied.
“Alright.” Ancestor Heng handed Xiaoba to Sally.
The Little Golden Dragon, carrying Xiaoba’s eggshell on its back, also flew over and landed on Sally’s shoulder.
Ancestor Heng glanced at the Little Golden Dragon, “This child is not bad either.”
“Ancestor Heng, where did this Guardian Beast come from?” Sally inquired.
“It must’ve been some kind of spiritual object you ate while you were bearing him, but it was smart enough to avoid your assimilation and sought refuge with Xiaoba. When Xiaoba accepted its request, it became a Guardian Beast. It’s quite rare, and this type of Guardian Divine Dragon will never betray its master in its lifetime.”
Qing Linghuan arrived with a group of young ones; there were Putao, Xiaojiu, Xiaoshi, Little Shier, Xiao Jia Yu, Xiao Jia Yue…
Ancestor Heng stroked his beard, laughing cheerfully at You Hao, “It’s like going back to the Ancient Times, when you were like these little ones.”
…
Ming Linyuan personally arranged the birthday feast at Golden Phoenix Mountain.
Pei Xuan had arrived too, with Little Bell gnawing on dried meat on his shoulder.
“You’ve brought a little helper, I see,” Ming Linyuan commented with a smile.
Little Bell dutifully said, “Hello Uncle Ming, if there’s anything Little Bell can help with, just give me the word.”
Ming Linyuan pointed towards Little Shiyi, “There’s a very important task, which is to make sure Little Shiyi properly plants the flower trees.”
“Understood!” Little Bell teleported away immediately.
Pei Xuan asked, “Have you received news from Yanyan? Can the kids come down?”
Ming Linyuan took out four chairs of different colors from his Space Ring, “Help choose one. Yanyan said she would bring all the children down.”
Thinking of his son, Pei Xuan’s usually stern face showed a tender, longing smile, “Two types then, pink and blue.”
A Sound Transmission Talisman flew in and landed in front of Pei Xuan.
It was from Zi Qi—[Come over here.]
“What’s the situation?” Ming Linyuan asked.
Pei Xuan pondered for a moment, “I don’t know; there hasn’t been anything unusual in the East Immortal Country recently. I’ll go over and have a look; Little Bell stays with you for now.”
“Go ahead,” said Ming Linyuan.
Pei Xuan quickly arrived at the Eastern Immortal Palace.
Little Dot was studying and reading a book, and Zi Qi was dealing with official documents, seemingly with no issues.
Pei Xuan approached Little Dot, “Studious and hardworking, Little Dot is really good!”
“Uncle Pei, you’re here~” Little Dot politely responded.
Pei Xuan lifted him up, feeling his weight, “Hmm, good, you’ve grown quite a bit.”
Then he asked Zi Qi, “Your Majesty, what is your command for calling me here?”
