The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 422 - 419: This Is My Egg

For the Spiritual Food Restaurant, both the dishes and the ingredients are extremely important.

Such a large egg is truly a rare find.

"What is this thing?"

As the sack was untied, an egg rolled out.

The Store Manager of De Yue Building leaned forward to examine it and was utterly puzzled.

The egg was a dull gray and even had a sealed crack on its shell.

Having seen a wide variety of strange things, the Store Manager of De Yue Building inspected the egg for quite some time but still couldn’t identify its species.

He tapped on the shell with his hand and suddenly, a loud noise reverberated.

The Shopkeeper and the Xuanwu Practitioners all jumped in shock.

"What... What kind of monster is this!"

The Store Manager’s eyes widened in fear.

How could an egg make a sound?

But after the thunderous noise, the egg remained still.

Hoo hoo hoo—

The sound of snoring came from the egg.

An egg that snores!

It must be a rare mutant beast!

The Store Manager was still hesitating whether to purchase the egg, especially since the group of Xuanwu Practitioners were asking for a high price of five thousand silver taels.

Five thousand silver taels was comparable to the price of a Second-level Dark Beast Spirit Beast.

But this egg was so unique that it was a different matter altogether.

Just as the Store Manager was about to hand over the silver note, two figures darted in.

"Wait a minute!"

A girl with clear eyebrows and bright eyes walked into De Yue Building.

De Yue Building hadn’t opened yet, and the Shopkeeper was about to shoo them away, but he paused upon seeing this pair of adult and child.

Not for any other reason, but because the man looked handsome and distinguished, and the child was also fair and delicate.

Only the man seemed a bit dull-eyed, while the child had round, glistening eyes and was quite adorable.

"Dear guests, De Yue Building is not yet open for business. Please come back after noon to dine."

The Store Manager was relatively polite.

"I’m not here to eat; this egg is mine."

Xin Lin tightened her brows when she heard the deafening snoring.

This darn egg!

Always causing her trouble.

Wasn’t it supposed to be peacefully cultivating in Qin Mountain?

She felt something was amiss and asked Gui Hu.

Gui Hu simply said nonchalantly that the Overlord Egg must have run away because it feared hardship.

An egg running away on its own, and straight into a tiger’s den, no less.

Xin Lin was quite troubled and rubbed her temples.

"How absurd, you say it’s yours and it becomes yours? The people from Taoyao Pavilion really dare to cross the line. This is De Yue Building, not Taoyao Pavilion, nor the Alchemy Hall."

Master Chen spoke in a sardonic tone and stepped out, looking displeased.

Xin Lin had been working as a general worker at Taoyao Pavilion for the past few days, usually dressed as a little boy, and Master Chen recognized her immediately.

The Store Manager and the others respectfully saluted.

Master Chen glanced at the Overlord Egg, then back at Xin Lin.

As for Silly Chu behind Xin Lin, Master Chen barely spared him a glance, not taking him seriously at all.

A child from a significant household would not be working as a general worker; it was clear he held no status.

"Master Chen, I’m only speaking about the facts and not representing anyone else. This egg is mine; it was just misplaced a few days ago. You’re privately selling my belongings, do you have no regard for the law?"

Seeing Master Chen, Xin Lin knew the matter couldn’t be settled amicably.

Originally, she had wanted to keep a low profile, at worst, buying the egg back and be done with it.

"You say it’s yours and it’s yours, this egg originates from Qin Mountain, whoever picks it up owns it. Unless you can prove it, that it’s yours."

Master Chen scoffed coldly.

Could an egg really defy nature and recognize its owner?
