The black dragon’s heart tightened as he looked at the increasing number of dragons in the sky. He immediately raised his head and shouted, “Supreme Divinity, the egg is here!”

　　The infuriated giant dragon faltered in the air, then looked towards the front of the palace. When she saw the egg at the side, her eyes widened and she immediately recognized the person on the ground. “It’s you!” She let out a dragon roar and her dragon suppression rushed towards them.

　　It was the black dragon’s first time facing a Supreme Divinity’s suppression. Instantly, blood gushed up from his heart and he nearly spewed it out. He knew that she was in the heat of anger and frantically explained, “Supreme Divinity, you’ve misunderstood. It wasn’t me who stole the egg.”

　　The giant dragon in the air flew down and the other dragons all started to transform into their human forms and landed in the courtyard.

　　“I don’t know why the egg rolled here either, I was just about to send it back.” The black dragon explained in a panic. “Don’t worry, the dragon egg is…” Fine.

　　Crack!

　　Before he could finish, a cracking sound could be heard from behind him.

　　He immediately had an ominous feeling.

　　As he turned around, the eggshell that was white as jade had a crack from the top. In an instant, it started to spread like wildfire across the entire dragon egg. At the side, a certain foodie had the piece of eggshell at the very top of her hands.

　　The black dragon: “…”

　　Exalted Goddess… can you not get me in trouble for once?

　　(ಥ_ಥ)

　　“Son!” Long Zhen let out a shrill scream and her eyes looked at the cracked egg. Immediately, she went into a fury and shouted, “I’ll kill you!”

　　As she said that, she reverted into her dragon form. It was as though she had gone crazy in her anger and forgotten all her sorcery and potential, biting down directly on the two of them along with the palace in front of her.

　　“Wait a minute, Supreme Divinity!” The black dragon still wanted to say something, but it was too late. The dragon’s suppression had pinned him to the ground.

　　Around them, there were rumbling sounds as the palace collapsed. The sharp dragon teeth pierced the roof and she descended from the heavens, looking as though she would swallow the two of them.

　　On the ground, Shen Ying stretched out her hand and grabbed the longest dragon tooth above her head. The entire dragon’s head maintained its posture, but couldn’t move. No matter how hard she tried, she could not close her mouth.

　　She swung her hand to the side and the giant dragon was flung to the floor and she casually rested her hand on the dragon’s head.

　　Long Zhen was stunned. She tried to struggle, but realized that the hand on her head was exceptionally heavy. Her entire body had been suppressed and she could not move.

　　“Calm down!” A nonchalant voice sounded from above her head with a tone of laziness. Long Zhen then looked closely at the woman in front of her and faltered. However, she noticed that the woman was not looking at her, but had turned her head to the side to look at the egg that was full of cracks.

　　Perhaps it was the other party’s calmness, the anger of losing her son vanished and she followed her gaze towards the dragon egg.

　　The egg was still splitting, the numerous cracks making it look like a spider’s web. Finally, tiny egg shells peeled off and a golden light emerged from the egg. As the number of falling shells increased, the golden light got brighter.

　　Until the shell had completely fallen off, the golden light glowed in all directions and even the sky that had become red from all the lava turned a shade of golden.

　　“This… this is…” Long Zhen looked at the center of the golden light with an expression of disbelief. The dragon egg had successfully hatched!

　　At the center where the golden light was most eminent, a figure was forming. Soon, a figure that stood tall at around Shen Ying’s waist appeared in the air. In the next moment, the golden light finally dimmed and Shen Ying instinctively stretched out her hand and caught the falling figure.

　　She lowered her head and saw a child of about six to seven years old lying in her arms with his eyes closed. His face was extremely skinny and it had even sunk inwards, evidently the nutrition from the giant egg did not reach him.

　　“Here, your son!” Shen Ying pushed the child towards Long Zhen.

　　Long Zhen’s reaction was extremely quick. She immediately received the figure and looked at the child in her arms with delight and anxiety. “Son… son, you have finally appeared.” She hurriedly took out a robe to cover his body. She looked at the child closely and a look of suspicion appeared on her face. “He can already manifest, why is he still so weak?”

　　“Perhaps he’s been stifled.” Shen Ying suddenly replied, waving the egg shell that she had just dug out.

　　Long Zhen faltered, then reacted and finally understood. “I apologize! It was Long Zhen who misunderstood you!”

　　Her son was too weak and was unable to break out of his shell, so it could only be broken from the outside. However, the dragon clan was known for its strong physique and had never been trapped in its shell. What was strange was that her son could metamorphose to human form in the egg, but why was he unable to break out of the egg? Moreover, looking at his weak physique now, if they had been any slower in breaking the egg, he might probably…

　　Long Zhen did not dare to continue thinking. She looked at Shen Ying while transmitting God Power to her son. “Thank you for saving my son, how should I address his benefactor?”

　　“Oh, I’m Shen Ying.” Shen Ying replied casually, deep in thought as she continued to look at the egg in her hand.

　　“Daoist Shen!” Long Zhen had a look of gratitude as she looked at the child in her arms. “If you don’t dislike it, could you stay in the Dragon Palace for a few more days? I would like to thank you on behalf of my son.”

　　“No need.” She glanced at the child in Long Zhen’s arms and replied, “I still have a person to look for.”

　　“Oh, who are you searching for? Perhaps my Dragon Abyss could be of assistance.”

　　“Oh, really?”

　　“Naturally!”

　　“I’m looking for…”

　　“Exalted Goddess…” They had not finished speaking when the black dragon suddenly interrupted bitterly, “We’re in no hurry to look for people, so can you not step on me while you two speak? I’m still on the ground!”

　　Shen Ying: “…”

　　Long Zhen: “…”

　　When did he lie on the ground?

　　The two of them then moved their legs. Long Zhen remembered her son in her hands and asked, “Fellow Daoist Shen, my son is too weak now. Allow me to carry him down to recuperate, I’ll discuss the search with you in detail later on?”

　　“Sure!” Shen Ying nodded.

　　Long Zhen then picked up her son and turned around, instructing the maid outside. She was about to bring her son to the back palace, but she suddenly stopped and lowered her head. Her son, who had been sleeping had opened his eyes abruptly and stretched out a hand to grab Shen Ying’s sleeve.

　　“Son, this is…”

　　Shen Ying felt a tug on her sleeve and she faltered. “What?” She was about to retract her hand, but the little child grabbed on even harder. He anxiously opened his mouth, as though using all his effort to try to make a sound. After awhile, he finally managed to force out a word. “Mas… ter.”

　　Shen Ying: “…”

　　Long Zhen: “…”

　　The black dragon: “…”

　　What was going on?

　　The three of them were astonished, even Long Zhen was lost. She did not understand why her son suddenly called her Master, but she did not object against it and smiled. “It looks like my son has affinity with you, I will have to prepare a large gift.”

　　The black dragon also mumbled, “This little fellow sure is a sweet-talker.” He knew how to cozy up to someone powerful from birth.

　　However, Shen Ying frowned and looked closely at the skinny figure and suddenly said, “Chef?”

　　The child’s eyes lit up, like starlight had been poured into them.

　　He really was!

　　(⊙ o ⊙)

　　She held him by his little hand and tilted her head. “Can you still cook?”

　　The child who had just woken up faltered. His little face puffed up and he said in a pronounced voice, unlike his weak call of Master. “Yes!”

　　Great chef!

　　Long Zhen: “…”

　　The black dragon: “…”

　　What did she say just now, why could they not understand a word of it?
