Who Stole My Eggs?

Xie Zuo said to Lao Luo: “Tell them to hand over Feng Yi within three days. The southern country will belong to the demon world, and the previous accounts will be settled first. Otherwise… hum.”

The deities remained silent, and no one dared to stop Xie Zuo.

Xie Zuo didn’t waste a moment and returned to the abyss to find the big golden egg. Unexpectedly, he turned the abyss upside down but could not find the shadow of the big golden egg!

The released demons came back one after another, and they brought him bad news. No, they had looked everywhere but couldn’t find the big golden egg.

Lao Luo comforted him: “Your Majesty, don’t worry. The little prince is born with supernatural powers and is very smart. Even you can’t do anything about him. He must be safe and sound. He just ran away somewhere, or…”

“Wu Xiao!” Xie Zuo said suddenly, “Where did Wu Xiao go?”

“He is reborn—” Lao Luo took the initiative to open the book and let Xie Zuo check it. “This page is about the record of the Great Heavenly King of the East China Sea. Look, the previous record was that he was killed by the Great Thunder Deity. Here is a new record. On the day you passed the tribulation, he was reborn.”

“The egg must have been stolen by him,” Xie Zuo gritted his teeth. “I’m going to find him now!”

Xie Zuo took two hurried steps and then stopped.

“What’s wrong, Your Majesty?” Lao Luo asked with concern.

“Go back to the Southern Temple first,” Xie Zuo said slowly. “Wait until I finish dealing with those bedbugs.”

The compromise from the Divine Realm came faster than Xie Zuo expected. The next day, the Divine Realm sent their messenger, Supreme Rain Deity Lin.

Xie Zuo was sitting on the Lotus Platform of the Southern Emperor, surrounded by demons flying around. He lowered his eyes and looked at Rain Deity Lin without saying a word.

This kind of Xie Zuo made Rain Deity Lin feel cold in his heart. The dashing and lively Xie Zuo seemed to have disappeared forever with Huo Yao’s departure. The demon king in front of him could destroy the world.

Rain Deity Lin stepped forward and said softly: “Brother Ah Yun, I’m here.”

Xie Zuo said coldly: “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Rain Deity Lin said: “After you left, the deities went to the realm of Taixu and wanted to ask for the decree of Tiandi, but Tiandi did not respond. We agreed to your request, and in order to express our apology, we also gave you many treasures, chariots, and horses. They’re all waiting outside.”

Xie Zuo sneered. Apologizing? Now they were apologizing again. When he was bound by Tiandi, unable to speak or resist, they all wanted to beat his bones and eat his flesh and blood.

“Where’s Feng Yi?”

“Here.” Rain Deity Lin took out an egg as big as a palm and as red as red clouds from his sleeve. “Yesterday you sent out word to ask for him, and the birds in the west complained that he had annoyed you. They were afraid that there would be a disaster in the west, so they besieged him. They wanted to send him to you to apologize. He couldn’t resist and burned himself.”

“Self-immolation?” Xie Zuo stood up, stretched out his hand, and the phoenix egg fell into his hand. He looked at the phoenix egg against the light and could vaguely see a baby bird curled up inside. “Who are you fooling? The phoenix can be reborn after burning itself. Is this your sincerity?”

Demonic power overflowed from Xie Zuo’s palm and enveloped the entire phoenix egg. He was about to completely destroy this traitor and trash when he was suddenly stopped by Rain Deity Lin.

“Wait a minute, Brother Ah Yun!”

Rain Deity Lin’s call reminded Xie Zuo of the tragic death of Mu Rong, and he paused. “What do you want to say?”

Rain Deity Lin quickly said, “I was there when Feng Yi set himself on fire. He said that he has Huo Yao’s divine soul hidden in him. If you destroy him, Huo Yao will never become a deity again, and you will regret it!” Rain Deity Lin gasped desperately, fearing that Xie Zuo would take action before he finished speaking.

Xie Zuo clenched the phoenix egg tightly, wishing to crush it directly. “He threatened me?!”

Rain Deity Lin held Xie Zuo’s hand tightly with both hands. “So what, Brother Ah Yun! He is the true confidant of Tiandi, and his words are still trustworthy.”

Xie Zuo shook Rain Deity Lin off. “How can he be trusted? Anyone who betrays Huo Yao could not be trusted, especially Feng Yi. Who keeps saying that they are ‘siblings’?! Who surrounds Huo Yao all day long, pretending to be closer than siblings?”

Rain Deity Lin said cautiously, “If you are still willing to believe me, let me take him back to raise him. This can be regarded as a hope for Huo Yao.”

Xie Zuo had a sullen face, remained silent for a long time, and then threw the phoenix egg to him.

Rain Deity Lin carefully put the phoenix egg into his sleeve. “Brother Ah Yun, if you need any help from me, just ask.”

Xie Zuo shook his head. “You go first. I need to think about it.”

Rain Deity Lin didn’t say anything more, plucked up the courage to step forward and hug him, then turned and left.

Looking at Rain Deity Lin’s back, Xie Zuo sat down, thought for a long time, and called Lao Luo. “Tell Alya that the Southern Kingdom is officially hers, and ask her to bring me all the remaining Southern Divine Envoys.”

“Yes-!”
