Who Stole My Eggs?

That night, Xie Zuo laid on Huo Yao, squinting and enjoying the pleasure of him stroking his hair, like a lazy kitten.

“Huo Yao.”

“Huh?”

“Are you having a conflict with Tiandi?”

“It’s okay.”

It was okay… Xie Zuo perked up. Sure enough, something happened. “What’s going on? He didn’t bully you, right? ”

“No.”

“You hit the little medicine deity a little less than it should, but he didn’t punish you?” Xie Zuo still remembered just because Huo Yao spared Wu Xiao’s life during the execution, he was punished by Tiandi and confined for a month.

“That’s because Bian Zhong has profound merits. I just followed the trend.”

“Oh…” Xie Zuo thought thoughtfully, “That is to say, when crossing the tribulation, the original number of tribulations will also change at any time.”

“Yes. If no villagers came to save her. If she hadn’t sacrificed herself to protect them, I don’t think there was anything I could do to stop in advance. It was her own fate.”

Xie Zuo silently counted how many merits he had accumulated. Apart from throwing himself into a cauldron to save others, there was nothing more. ‘That’s it, let’s just resist when the time comes.’

Suddenly, Xie Zuo thought of something he wanted to ask for a long time, “Why did the little medicine deity suddenly take the initiative to take the tribulation? She has been hiding for so many years. You are not going to catch her if she keeps hiding.”

Huo Yao’s answer was very mysterious: “Maybe the opportunity has come, and she has changed her mind. Instead of hiding and being afraid every day, it is better to face it bravely.”

It seemed… It was quite true and made sense. Xie Zuo thought about it, but still felt something was strange.

Xie Zuo didn’t speak any more and quickly fell asleep.

Huo Yao waited for him to fall asleep, gently placed him beside him, and looked at him with love. Thinking of their trip to the Yaoshan, he felt a mixture of joy and sorrow.

A long time ago, when Huo Yao was sent by his heavenly father to study medicine with Bian Zhong, Bian Zhong’s personality was even more gloomy and extreme than now.

Bian Zhong was born in a medical family in the human world. There were countless miraculous doctors in the family, but there was a bad habit that had been passed down from ancient times: all the family heirloom was passed on from male to male.

When it came to Bian Zhong’s generation, she was the most talented among her brothers and sisters, and had a strong learning ability. But her fate was bound to be destroyed and she was just an orphan from a branch of the family. She had no support and an unpleasant personality, so she would inevitably be ostracized and framed.

When Bian Zhong was young, she was depressed in her childhood. As an adult, she was unable to practice medicine openly because she was a woman, and her medical skills were useless. Later, a plague began to spread in the city, and the prescription she had spent countless efforts to develop was snatched away by her eldest brother. The family was afraid that her deeds would be exposed, so they sent someone to strangle her alive and throw her into a well on a thunderstorm night.

However, people were doing it, and Tiandi was watching. The merits of curing diseases and saving people would ultimately be attributed to Bian Zhong. Because her prescriptions saved countless lives, she became a medicine deity after her death. In the cycle of cause and effect, retribution was not satisfactory. All members of her family who participated in the persecution of her died unexpectedly, and were either hanged or drowned in the water.

Because of her experiences as a human being, Bian Zhong deeply abhorred fraud and impersonation in the medical field. She once swore an oath that if she deliberately deceived those people seeking medical treatment, she would be struck by lightning from heaven.

Although Bian Zhong often said what she meant, she was extremely strict and serious about her medical skills. She chose to face the tribulation immediately and was willing to suffer the pain of thunder and lighting. It was not because she suddenly became brave, but that she lied to Xie Zuo.

Huo Yao gently placed his hand on Xie Zuo’s abdomen. Ever since Xie Zuo took Bian Zhong’s medicine, the little thing no longer tormented him. This child… they must not let Tiandi know of its existence.

.

Xie Zuo often had dreams recently, which were all messy fragments with no logic at all.

In his dream, he was wandering around the six realms, followed by a young man with raven-purple hair, dark skin, and arrogant behavior.

Later, a fat red bird often came to him to act coquettishly.

This time, he dreamed that he was going up a mountain. There was lightning and thunder on the top of the mountain, and the wind was blowing everywhere, which was very scary. The strong wind pushed him back down the mountain several times, and he walked up against the wind several times.

What was there on the mountain that was worthy of his persistence and climbing again and again?

A heavy fog suddenly arose in the dream. When the fog cleared, Xie Zuo found he had reached the top of the mountain and was facing a ball of “sizzling” thunder and lightning.

Xie Zuo didn’t want to touch this thing; it was very irritating at first glance. However, he couldn’t control his hands, and watched helplessly as he stretched out his hand into the dazzling thunder and lightning, and took out a baby with golden eyes.

The baby didn’t cry or fuss, and looked at him seriously.

Xie Zuo also looked at him with joy on his face.

Xie Zuo laughed out loud in his sleep. He found a unique big treasure. It was so great!

Huo Yao, who was always sleeping lightly, glanced at him when he heard him laughing. Unexpectedly, what he held in his arms was no longer a humanoid Xie Zuo, but a thick and long white-gold giant python, with a head half as big as his body.
