Chapter 1631: Eggs of the Dragon and the PhoenixTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ye Xiao was expressionless. He didn’t say anything.

The old man looked at the room and said, “Ye Xiao, you saved my life when I was dying, and you protected me from the Purple Dragon King. You saved me twice. When I leave this place, I guess I will be dead soon…”

He stayed silent for a while and then continued, “It must be the destiny that brought me here. Let me give you something in return… It is the only thing I can give you to show my grat.i.tude…”

Chihuo made a sigh and took out a smaller s.p.a.ce ring from his s.p.a.ce ring. “Take this. It may help you one day.”

Ye Xiao didn’t turn it down. He took it over and said, “Chihuo, you don’t have to be this pessimistic. Give me three days, and I will bring you back to ninety percent of your prime status. You may not be able to win the fight, but you may still have a chance to escape.”

“I know. Maybe I will escape. Maybe I will survive.” Chihuo seriously said, “No matter what, I don’t think I can ever return to this city.

“When I leave, we won’t meet again.”

Ye Xiao sighed. He knew the old man was right.

“In this ring, there are some eggs of the Dragon and Phoenix.” Chihuo said, “There is a lot of essence of dragon and phoenix in the eggs. When you heard of my death, it will be safe for you to get the eggs from the ring.”

Chihuo took a deep breath and said, “You… The eggs can give you at least ten thousand years of cultivation!

“I am giving the two eggs as my payment for the treatment. It should be enough to put a closure to this mess. I deserve what is coming for me. n.o.body should be blamed if I am killed. Don’t ever think about avenging me. We are not that close anyway!” Chihuo smiled and said, “The spiritual qi in your Hall of Life and Death is incredible. It helps me a great deal in cultivation. I have stayed here for only a few days, and I have obtained forty percent of my spiritual energy back. I guess I still have a chance to get away from the fight… If I could have come here earlier, maybe I wouldn’t need to take that risk later… Ah, it is all destiny…”

He smiled bitterly.

Ye Xiao took over the ring, and he was astounded!

‘The eggs of the dragon and phoenix!’

‘They are in this ring, aren’t they?’

Ye Xiao thought that inside this ring, there must be everything Chihuo had in life. It was all Chihuo had, and it wouldn’t be valuable enough to catch Ye Xiao’s attention. After all, Ye Xiao had a Boundless s.p.a.ce full of valuable things. In fact, he wouldn’t even put the treasures of the five sky kings for exposure!

However, he was wrong. In the ring, there were the eggs of dragon and phoenix. That was a totally different story. In fact, although the eggs could provide ten thousand years of cultivation, Ye Xiao didn’t really want them, because he had a lot of things that could improve his cultivation. All he needed was a method to make use of valuable things. These eggs were different because Chihuo gave up his life for these eggs, and he just gave them to Ye Xiao. The eggs were too valuable even for Ye Xiao! How could he not be touched!

Ye Xiao felt like the ring was as heavy as a thousand tons. He felt it hard to hold it any longer.

‘These are the eggs that caused the huge trouble, aren’t they?’

‘This is the reason why the Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King would travel all the way to hunt Chihuo down, isn’t it?’

‘They are in my hands now!’

Ye Xiao was emotional, but suddenly he didn’t feel right about it. “Wait. It doesn’t make sense. You said you ate the eggs! How come they are in this ring now?”

Chihuo laughed bitterly and said, “You are a marvelous doctor. You are experienced and well-informed. Now you talk like you are a fool. I would love to eat the eggs. If I absorb the essence of the two eggs, I will reach a higher level… However, it is not that easy to extract the essence from the eggs, is it? I have to keep it and extract what I need from it bit by bit… It takes time to absorb all the energy in the eggs.”

“Oh?” Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up, and he said, “So you only took a part of the essence of the two eggs, didn’t you?”

“A part? I took nothing!” Chihuo smiled bitterly and said, “Since I got the two eggs, I kept fighting and fighting… When I came here and stayed with you, I have a long time, but the Nine Sky Golden Qi restrained me from absorbing it. In fact, if I have one more day to rest, I will get sixty percent of my power back, and I could try to make use of the eggs… However…”

“Okay… I get it… I know your condition. It is not the point! Let me ask you a question. If you never had time to extract anything from the eggs, are the eggs good as new? In other words, they can hatch, can’t they?”

Ye Xiao asked, “If so, why don’t you just give them back the eggs? You are an influential man. Give them back the eggs, and tell them why you made the mistake. Do something to make it up for them. The problem will be solved. Even though they won’t forgive you, they won’t have to kill you. They are the leaders of two great clans. They can’t be so narrow-minded. They won’t push you to death!”

Chihuo looked sad. “I know. I thought of it. Of course, I did. I wouldn’t let things become this bad if that was truly an option, would I? The problem is… When I got the two eggs, I broke the living qi in the eggs immediately… That is why the Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King are so keen to hunt me down.”

“You broke the life qi of the dragon and phoenix? How could you? That is horrible…” Ye Xiao scolded.

“Oh… The eggs carry the natural qi of their clans. If I don’t break it, the two eggs will be trackers that I keep with me. I… I had to do it… Unexpectedly, when I broke the qi, the life qi rose up so high! It wrapped me up! That was why the two kings found me. They couldn’t wait to kill me, and I struggled to run away. They kept hunting me… A few days after, the qi on me was gone. That is why I could make it to your place…” Chihuo said.

Ye Xiao shook his head and made a long sigh. “The prince and the princess of the two clans have stronger qi than the others. The qi rises when it is born. When you break their qi, the qi wrapped you up. Their parents will sense the death of the babies in the eggs. Why wouldn’t they hunt you down? You are old and experienced. You should know about it, shouldn’t you? You actually dared to do it… You left no way out for yourself…”

“I didn’t mean to do it…” Chihuo was obviously upset about it. “When I broke the qi in the eggs, I felt the dragon and the phoenix… I knew I must have done something terrible… I realized the eggs were not only royal blood. They belonged to the kings… However, I had done it. It was too late to regret… I couldn’t sit there and wait for death… I ran away immediately, but they kept coming after me… Oh!”

He made a long sigh and looked powerless.

“It is too late to regret. Even if I can escape this time, I won’t get peace back in my heart. I won’t have time for me to absorb the essence… so I guess I should give them to you.”

Ye Xiao didn’t know what to say, but he still said, “If you didn’t break the qi in the eggs, the dragon and the phoenix wouldn’t chase you, but the two eggs would still be two trackers that expose our location. Now they are dead, but it also means you can’t get the two clans’ forgiveness anymore…”

Chihuo made a sigh.

Ye Xiao thought for a while, and he took the two eggs out from the rings and put them on the table.

At this moment, he actually got hope. ‘If the two little things in the eggs are still alive… I have the Boundless s.p.a.ce, and Erhuo is good at many incredible techniques… Maybe I should try. Maybe I can bring them back to life, and the problem will be solved.’
