After five days, Mu Lin did not wait for the North Sea Dragon King and his wife to come back, but waited for two dragon cubs to hatch.
At first, there was only a tiny crack on his sister's eggshell. Mu Lin attached a trace of spiritual consciousness to the shell, and after confirming that the dragon cub was fine, he was extremely worried.
Could it be that the eggshell burst due to too much divine power
Soon after the first crack appeared, the second crack also appeared, followed by the third, the fourth... The cracks increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within an hour the entire dragon egg was covered!
If Mu Lin could hear the sound, he would find that the whole room was filled with crisp and subtle clicking sounds, which were endless.
Mu Lin stared at the dragon egg, and suddenly saw a circle of clear cracks appearing on the slightly pointed top of the dragon egg, and then a small piece of eggshell fell off along the crack. Mu Lin subconsciously caught the eggshell, and then looked up at the dragon egg, just in time to meet a pair of round eyes.
The little dragon cub poked out half of its pink head. There was a pair of bulging scarlet bumps on its head, and a pair of big, round eyes with slightly glowing red vertical pupils. It was staring at Mu Lin in a daze.
The little dragon cries out weakly, but unfortunately Mu Lin can't hear it and shakes his head gently at her.
The little dragon cub showed its whole head listlessly, and opened its mouth towards Mu Lin like a hungry baby. Mu Lin thought that the little dragon cub might be hungry, but how could she know what the dragon cub should eat
So she casually put the eggshell in her hand on the little dragon's head and went out to find Grandma Clam. The little dragon saw that she was leaving and cried out, but unfortunately Mu Lin couldn't hear him and left without looking back.
By the time Mu Lin and Grandma Bang came back with fresh mermaid milk, the little dragon had already shrunk back into the dragon egg, with the detached eggshell loosely attached to it.
The mother dragon does not produce milk, and the newly hatched dragons all grow up drinking siren milk.
Mu Lin gently tapped the dragon egg, and a pair of bright big eyes appeared. They turned around and when they saw Grandma Clam beside Mu Lin, they let out a howl.
Grandma Clam immediately understood that the little princess was shy, so she put the tray on the table and left. Mu Lin had no choice but to pick up the bowl, scoop a small spoonful of mermaid milk and pass it over.
The little dragon sniffed the warm milk, pouted, and turned his head to the side, looking very resistant.
Mu Lin said helplessly: "If you don't want milk, what do you want to drink?"
The little dragon stared at Mu Lin, and Mu Lin's heart moved, and he blurted out: "You don't want divine power, do you?"
The little dragon looked at Mu Lin in confusion, not understanding what she was saying.
Mu Lin tentatively drew out a trace of divine power and attached it to her fingertips. The little dragon's pupils suddenly lit up. She revealed her entire little head and stuck out half of her body. Her pair of little paws were clinging to the eggshell, looking extremely eager.
Mu Lin put her fingertips close to the little dragon's mouth, and she bit it. The weak little milk teeth rubbed against the side of Mu Lin's finger, absorbing the divine power into the body, and then reluctantly let go.
The little dragon burped, looking extremely satisfied, then retracted into its eggshell and remained motionless.
Mu Lin placed the last fire spirit bead into the fire spirit formation to ensure that there were sufficient fire elements around it. He then went to look at another dragon egg. The eggshell was still smooth, with no sign of breaking out.
The air around them fluctuated, a stream of light descended, and the figures of the North Sea Dragon King and his wife reappeared in the nursery.
Mu Lin said: "Your daughter has broken out of her shell..."
The three of them looked at the dragon egg at the same time and found that the little one was looking over here. There is a natural closeness between parents and children, which is due to the mystery of blood connection. The couple approached gently and surrounded the dragon egg, fearing that they would scare their daughter.
Seeing her overflowing maternal love, Ming Yi didn't know how to treat the palm-sized dragon cub. The North Sea Dragon King looked at his daughter while communicating with Mu Lin.
Line after line of words appeared before Mu Lin's eyes:
—There has never been a baby dragon that hatched before a month old in the dragon clan. How come she hatched so quickly
"It's probably because she absorbed too much divine power, which accelerated her growth."
—Divine power? She's too young.
"Don't worry, she can bear it, and she would rather absorb divine power than drink siren milk."
—Thank you.
Divine power is not available everywhere. Their daughter can continuously absorb the power of fire element in the egg, which will definitely make up for her congenital deficiencies and even have an extremely high starting point.
"It would be better if you give a generous thank you gift." Mu Lin said with a smile: "Today is the day when the little girl breaks out of her shell. She should be the sister of the other little one. Do you want to give her a name?"
Ming Yijian was having a lot of fun playing finger-touching with her daughter, and her eyes lit up when she heard Mu Lin's words.
"Okay! Let's give my brother one too. Do you have any good ideas, husband?"
"It was too hasty. I didn't think of it right away. I was planning to think about it slowly during the two hundred years they stayed in the shell... Yiyi, what do you think?"
Ming Yi hesitated for a moment and turned his gaze to Mu Lin.
Mu Lin shook his head: "I won't get involved in naming, I'm not good at it."
—My little girl is destined to be with you, and you have always been taking care of her, so it is only right that you give her a name.
"Yeah!" Ming Yi also nodded sincerely. The mother and daughter looked at Mu Lin eagerly at the same time, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
After a long while, Mu Lin finally said, "Xi...Lan, how about these two words?"
Beihai Longjun and Ming Yijian looked at each other and both thought that this name was good, fresh and nice.
"Then the nickname is Lanlan, right? Little Lanlan~"
Mu Lin's head hurt from thinking about names, "Since you are all here, I will go back to sleep." She had been looking at the dragon egg every day for a while, and she couldn't calm down even when meditating. Now she really needed to rest.
Ming Yi saw her waving her hands, and Xiao Xilan imitated her mother and waved her claws. Mu Lin admitted that he was touched by it.
Mu Lin returned to his almost dusty bedroom, lay flat on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and planned to have a good sleep in the quiet environment.
Not long after she fell asleep, Mu Lin felt a soft little animal lying on her neck, rubbing against her face, and breathing hot breath.
"Stop it..." she murmured and pushed the little thing around her neck away.
After a while, the little thing crawled back, grabbed Mu Lin's neck with its paws, and licked Mu Lin's cheek with its soft and moist little tongue.
This didn't seem to be a dream. Mu Lin suddenly opened his eyes and his big eyes met his small eyes.
"Xiao Xilan, why are you here?" Mu Lin picked her up from his neck and put her in his arms. He turned his head and saw Ming Yijian sitting at the table next to them, eating melon seeds and looking at them with interest.
"Why did you bring her here?"
—The little one was hungry and insisted on looking for you, so I had to bring her here.
"Haven't you found any food for her yet?"
Ming Yijian shook his head.
—If Xiao Lanlan wants to breastfeed, I won’t disturb your sleep. I can breastfeed her myself.
Mu Lin fed Xiao Xilan a trace of divine power, and Xiao Xilan sucked her fingers obediently, which was very cute.
"You~ What should I do if you are such a picky eater?" Mu Lin tapped her soft belly, raised his head and said to Ming Yi: "I don't have much divine power left in my body. You can ask the Dragon King to exchange more Fire Spirit Orbs with the Red Dragon Clan and give them to Xiao Xilan first..."
Ming Yijian nodded, looked at the warm scene of Mu Lin and his daughter getting along, and finally asked something that had puzzled him for a long time.
—Alin, can you tell me what is the difference between natural immortals and those who become immortals through acquired enlightenment
Mu Lin had heard this from his master. "Many immortals believe that there is not much difference between the two, but there is a difference. First of all, the time they spend practicing is not the same. Born immortals practice their entire lives, while acquired immortals only start practicing after they become immortals. This not only leads to differences in their strengths, but also leads to differences in their mastery of the five elements. You know, every immortal has a preference for one of the five elements, and at the same level, born immortals are often more powerful than acquired immortals."
"Secondly, there are different degrees of abstinence..."
—Wait! Ah Lin, I want to ask you a question.
"You want to ask if I am a congenital immortal?"
Ming Yi nodded.
"I am indeed a natural born immortal, but was forced to live in the human world due to difficulties."
—Alin, you are from the underworld, right
"Did the North Sea Dragon King tell you?" Mu Lin looked calm. She knew that sooner or later someone would guess her identity.
—No, he firmly believed that the Hades could not belong to the fire element, so he denied his own guess.
—Alin, your blood has an effect on the dead and also on sacred objects. How could I not guess that you have a secret? But I will never tell anyone, including Mingye, because your secret is my secret.
"Thanks."
—If I’m not mistaken, Xilan and I have your blood flowing in our veins.
This sentence was too absurd. Mu Lin frowned, "Yi Jian, you think too much. I did give you a few drops of blood, but that can't change your bloodline... Even if I gave you all my blood, it wouldn't be like that. Only divine blood can transform a person like a treasure."
She is not a god, how could she go against the will of heaven
—Maybe you are God
"Yi Jian, I know my origins. I am an immortal, not a god. And if I were a god, how could I have been trapped in the human world with you for so many years?"
Ming Yi nodded and didn't mention the matter any more.
Although she couldn't dispel her doubts - which immortal dared to store divine power in his body? Which immortal had the peerless talent to break through to the level of immortal king within a few hundred years
Ming Yijian had been with Mu Lin for a hundred years, and witnessed her cultivation from humble beginnings. She had a smooth journey and broke through to the level of Upper Immortal, and after a hundred years of absence, she crossed the level of Golden Immortal and Daluo Golden Immortal, becoming the sixth Immortal Lord in the entire Immortal Realm.
No, with Ming Ye's breakthrough to the True Person rank, Mu Lin is now the fifth Immortal Lord. She is normal in every aspect, but her advancements hide her astonishing talent and speed.
After Ming Yijian took Xiao Xilan away, Mu Lin sat quietly for a long time. She also began to doubt her own life experience. In fact, it was not the first time she had doubts, but she was undoubtedly the direct descendant of the Hades family, and those strange things did not make sense.
Mu Lin went to the desk, spread out paper and ground ink, then picked up the pen and wrote two rows of large characters: Walk to the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise.
