The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 561 - 558: The Origin of the Egg
"Dad, I know I was wrong."
Lu Yuan admitted his mistake with a very good attitude, and he also felt a bit impulsive after the fact.
But it wasn’t because of his demotion. Rather, he feared his father’s reaction upon knowing this.
His dad had a fiery temper, and once he learned of this, he would surely beat him to death.
As expected, Lu Yuan would have been better off not mentioning it, as it only infuriated Lu Mingxuan further.
"What good is knowing your mistake? Now you’ve become a cripple, all my years of effort are in vain! Tell me, who is the little beast that poisoned you, what is his name, and where is he now? I am going to split him in two."
As soon as Lu Yuan heard this, he shook his head like a rattle-drum.
He had already followed Xin Lin’s advice and switched to cultivating a Wood attribute Cultivation Technique.
He had been demoted to the Heavenly Power Class precisely because he heard that the supervisor of the class was an expert with a Wood Xuan Root.
He had only attended class for one day, learning an Eight-Stream Martial Arts known as Green Wood Skill, and had already gained quite a bit. He even felt that inside his Five Meridians, a trace of True Qi was beginning to form.
This made Lu Yuan believe even more strongly in what Xin Lin had said.
But while Lu Yuan was clear about this, Minister Lu did not understand.
"Father, it wasn’t poisoning, it was healing. My lack of True Qi is only temporary. The Little Divine Doctor said that within five days at most, I could recover..."
Lu Yuan followed Xilin’s advice, but before he could finish, his father kicked him, sending him tumbling over.
"I think you’ve messed up your brain with the medicine you took. In five days’ time, to cultivate up to the Xuanwu Eighth Layer – you don’t even have a trace of True Qi now. You think I won’t be able to find that little beast if you don’t tell me? I’m going to Qingtian Academy right now to look for him."
Without another word, Lu Mingxuan grabbed a Baji Stick and stomped out the door.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan knew trouble was brewing. He couldn’t even notify General Zuo in time before he was anxiously rushing toward Qingtian Academy.
Lu Yuan only hoped that his father wouldn’t be able to find Little Xin in such a short time.
But things didn’t go as he wished. What he didn’t want to happen, happened.
That afternoon, after sending away Murong Ziyue and Little Xinzhuo, Xin Lin began to gather Spiritual Energy in the School Clinic as usual.
After learning the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Technique, her efficiency in gathering Spiritual Energy had greatly improved.
After two hours of Gathering Spirit, traces of Fire Spirit were rushing into Xin Lin’s Unrivaled Ghost Vein.
Xin Lin slowly exhaled and looked at the Qi Stone she had just won from rolling the dice.
"Two hours of Gathering Spirit, and only about twenty percent of the Spiritual Energy gathered. As expected, the nearby Spiritual Energy is still too sparse."
Xin Lin shook her head helplessly.
Under the flourishing Purple Flower Vine, Master Mo was again taking a noontime nap.
The Overlord Egg was also napping nearby.
Her Silly Chu dad was squatting next to the Overlord Egg, looking left and right, drenched in sweat.
"Why is it so hot?"
Xin Lin saw Silly Chu covered in sweat and thought he was unwell again, so she felt his forehead.
"Babe... egg egg... what’s this..."
Chu Bei Qing poked the hard shell of the Overlord Egg, a curious expression on his face.
"I would very much like to know too, what it is."
Xin Lin shrugged her shoulders. The Overlord Egg had been following her for several months now, but unlike other bird eggs, the Overlord Egg ate voraciously. Occasionally it would also rub against Xin Lin to absorb some of Fu Xi’s Energy. Even so, aside from a slight increase in girth, it showed no other changes whatsoever.
Somtimes Xin Lin would pessimistically think that by the time she passed away of old age, the Overlord Egg still wouldn’t have hatched.
