The dragon egg was only the size of a palm. The temperature of Pei Yunshu's palm was not hot, but compared to him, the dragon egg was on the low side and its breath was weak, as if it would die at any time.
This made Pei Yunshu nervous and distressed. After bringing the dragon egg home, he never left its side. He made a warm and comfortable nest with brand new bedding and animal furs and placed the dragon egg inside. He and Zhu You used their own spiritual power to feed the dragon egg every day.
Pei Yunshu's spiritual power contains the healing power of the April Snow Tree, while Zhu You's spiritual power contains the domineering dragon energy. Compared with the two, the little dragon egg is more intimate to Pei Yunshu.
When Pei Yunshu fed it spiritual energy, the little dragon egg would always be particularly lively, rolling around on the soft bed with its eggshell shaking. Occasionally, Pei Yunshu would reach out to straighten it, and it would rub against Pei Yunshu's fingers and act coquettishly.
It was too clingy and too weak. Pei Yunshu loved it, and the little dragon egg also stuck to him. Therefore, whenever Zhu You came to feed the little dragon egg with spiritual power with an expressionless face, the little dragon egg wished it was a stone.
It pretended to be very convincing and did not move at all. When Zhu You poked it down, it fell quietly on the bed without any resistance.
Every time Pei Yunshu watched, he couldn't help laughing.
The little dragon egg was born with congenital defects and no one knew how long it had stayed in the Dragon Temple. Perhaps Pei Yunshu and Zhu You had not swept through it with their spiritual sense that day. If their spiritual sense did not contain the power of April Snow Tree and Jackie Chan, the little dragon egg would have probably fallen into eternal sleep without life.
In order to keep the little dragon egg healthy, Zhu You and Pei Yunshu would search the secret realm from time to time, and got a lot of good things from Bailigo and others.
But since Pei Yunshu was so concerned about the little dragon egg, Zhu You felt jealous.
One night, Pei Yunshu woke up from his sleep and was about to drink some water to quench his thirst, but he found that he was the only one in the room.
Where is Zhu You
Pei Yunshu put on his clothes curiously and walked out quietly. He saw faint voices coming from Xiaolongdan's room at a glance.
He tiptoed over, put his ear to the window, and the next moment he heard Zhu You's voice.
"She is my wife, remember that," Zhu You lowered his voice, and cast a sharp gaze on the dragon egg pretending to be dead, "He loves you so much only because of me, you'd better not take advantage of your favor and become arrogant."
Pei Yunshu: “…”
He braved the cold wind and listened silently to Zhu You muttering about the little dragon egg for an hour and a half.
No wonder Xiao Longdan always seems so sleepy these days. He doesn't move at all during the day and only becomes a little lively when Pei Yunshu approaches.
It turned out that he couldn't sleep well at night because of Zhu You's nagging.
Pei Yunshu returned to the room before Zhu You came out. When Zhu You got on the bed and hugged him from behind to fall asleep, he thought about it and finally decided when he was about to fall asleep. Let it be. This way, Xiao Longdan and Zhu You could develop some feelings.
After making this decision, Pei Yunshu pretended not to know and would quietly wake up every night to follow Zhu You to listen to him teach the little dragon egg a lesson.
The words he said were always gloomy, something like "You rubbed Yunshu's fingers a little too much today", or "You buried yourself in Yunshu's arms and acted like a spoiled child, bringing shame to the dragon clan. There won't be a next time". These were warnings both explicitly and implicitly, and finally became overt warnings.
The little dragon egg was tired of pretending to be in the stone position, and finally it could not bear it anymore. It showed the bloodiness of a dragon cub, and under the powerful pressure from Zhu You, it rushed towards Zhu You with all its might.
Before Zhu You could dodge, the little dragon egg turned halfway, rolled all the way from the bed to the side of the bed, and fell off the bed in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, Zhu You caught him, but the little dragon egg was still a newborn calf, and the fall just now did not make it afraid. It twisted the eggshell and tried to roll out of Zhu You's hand.
There was no change on Zhu You's face, but he looked extremely guilty. He subconsciously looked around, and when he remembered that Pei Yunshu was still sleeping, a look of relief appeared on his cold face.
But he was still very rude to the little dragon egg, throwing it on the ground with one hand and threatening in a vicious voice: "Don't move!"
A barrier was set up around the bed to prevent the little dragon egg from rolling out.
The little dragon egg jumped around on the bedding impatiently, and used all its strength to bang its head against the barrier. Zhu You watched it doing useless work and smiled with a gloating look on its face.
Only after the little dragon egg collapsed from exhaustion did he leave the little dragon egg's room contentedly.
Pei Yunshu looked at him for several days in a row, and his mood became more and more complicated. Sometimes he would look at Zhu You with such indescribable eyes during the day.
He originally thought that he was the only one who became more childish, but who would have thought that Zhu You also became like a child, pretending to be good in front of him, but being even worse than him in private.
Zhu You's expression froze when he looked at her. "Yun Shu, what's wrong?"
Could it be that Yun Shu knew that he bullied that ugly dragon egg
Pei Yunshu shook his head, and suddenly sighed. He stood up, crossed the table, bent down and rubbed Zhu You's head, "It's okay."
Zhu You pulled his hand down, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, then said calmly, "Are you thinking about Hua Yue and the others?"
Pei Yunshu was stunned, then coughed twice awkwardly, "It's okay."
I have been busy these days and my heart is on Zhu You and Xiao Longdan. I haven't thought about Baili and the others for a long time.
Thinking about it this way, he felt extremely guilty. His friends were suffering in the secret realm, but he was not worried at all.
"I don't know where they are now," Pei Yunshu said sadly, "I hope Baili and the others can find a good method to transform a demon into a monster."
"I will," Zhu You stood up and walked to his side, stretched out his arms to hold him in his arms, and kissed him softly on his ear, comforting him, "If they can't find it, we can find it too."
The confidence and arrogance in his tone ignored the heaven and earth. Pei Yunshu chuckled and turned his head to say: "You are right, but the most important thing now is that we have to find more spiritual liquid for the little dragon egg."
The spiritual liquid is a transparent liquid as thick as porridge, soaked from various high-grade spiritual plants. It has a dark green color as clear as lake water. All the spiritual plants obtained before were brewed into spiritual liquid by Pei Yunshu. It was as big as a small pool. When he put the little dragon egg in it, less than five days later, the whole pool of spiritual liquid had been absorbed by the little dragon egg.
Raising a dragon is really a waste of money and labor.
But the effect is very obvious. After the little dragon egg absorbed so much spiritual liquid, it was obviously a whole circle larger than before. The dragon egg that could be held up with one hand in the past now requires two hands to hold it up. From this, it seems that there is hope that it will finally break out of the shell.
On this day, Pei Yunshu was soaking the little dragon egg in spiritual liquid. He used a soft towel to wet the spiritual liquid and wiped the entire shell of the dragon egg over and over again. The dragon egg obediently let him wipe it. After wiping the front, the dragon egg would even turn around in the water with great effort so that Pei Yunshu could wipe its back.
"Good boy," Pei Yunshu would always praise with a smile at this moment, "Our little dragon cub is so considerate before he even hatches."
Xiao Longdan already understood some simple words and knew what was a compliment and what was a warning. Naturally, he always learned the good side from Pei Yunshu, and what he got from Zhu You were always some unpleasant words that made Xiao Longdan want to retaliate.
As soon as Zhu You's voice sounded, Xiao Longdan wanted to bump into him. Because of this, every day when he was with Pei Yunshu during the day, Xiao Longdan would become more and more clingy.
After soaking the dragon eggs in spiritual liquid, Zhu You just happened to come back. He handed the storage bag full of spiritual plants to Pei Yunshu, and took out a roasted chicken wrapped in lotus leaves and some dried meat that was still warm from his sleeve.
As soon as these things were taken out, the fragrant smell of meat filled the whole room. Pei Yunshu sniffed and sniffed Zhu You's body, and suddenly smiled brightly, "I smell a sweet smell."
Zhu You kissed him and silently took out the pastry wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve.
Pei Yunshu's face was filled with smiles. He took the cakes from Zhu You's hands and placed them on the table. He also took out the dragon egg that was about to fall to the ground from the spiritual liquid and placed it aside. He opened the oil paper and took a look. He lowered his head and sniffed in surprise: "They are all sweet cakes with the fragrance of flowers."
Zhu You nodded, took out a piece of soft and glutinous white jade cake from the cakes and placed it on his lips, "These ones are selling well."
Pei Yunshu opened his mouth, took a bite, and savored it slowly. "I think the ones I bought last time are still the best."
Zhu You took note, ate the remaining pastry that Pei Yunshu had bitten off, and then took another one and handed it to his lips.
The two people fed each other, and the aroma of the sweet cake mixed with the tempting smell of meat. The little dragon egg, who was waiting aside, couldn't help it, and rolled to the sweet cake, wanting to eat it, but its round body pushed the sweet cake farther and farther away.
Pei Yunshu burst into laughter, and Zhu You also smiled. In front of the confused Xiao Longdan, he took the pastry and turned it around in front of his eyes before putting it into Pei Yunshu's mouth.
The sudden badness also brought bad luck to Pei Yunshu. He slowly swallowed the cake, pretending to be unsatisfied. "It's really delicious, much better than the taste of spiritual liquid."
The little dragon egg watched eagerly as the eggshell soaked in spiritual liquid slowly oozed water onto the table. Zhu You watched with sharp eyes, squinting and mockingly asked, "Is this drooling or peeing on the table?"
The mocked little dragon egg didn't know what this meant, but it heard the mockery in Zhu You's words, and immediately turned around angrily, facing him with its butt.
Pei Yunshu taught Zhu You a lesson in all seriousness, "How can you bully the weak?"
Although he said so, he tore open the lotus leaf on the roasted chicken. The rich aroma instantly became stronger. Pei Yunshu tore two pieces of meat and put them into his and Zhu You's mouths, deliberately saying: "This is better than the sweet cake."
The dragon egg with its back to them was so innocent that it could not hear that they were asking it to turn around. It immediately forgot about being ridiculed by Zhu You and jumped back to Pei Yunshu, rubbing against Pei Yunshu's fingers, wanting him to tear a piece of meat and feed it to it.
Zhu You chewed the meat in his mouth and looked at the dragon egg that was being bullied by Pei Yunshu but didn't know it was being bullied, and smiled with pleasure.
Sure enough, in Yunshu's heart, he is the most important.
For Yun Shu's sake, and more importantly because this dragon egg looked so stupid that it couldn't compete for his favor, he would just tolerate it staying here.
Wait until the shell breaks, then throw it out.
