Chapter 22: Going Home (Part 2)

  The next day, the three elders took out the flying boat and placed it in the courtyard. The flying boat instantly grew larger, and as soon as the four of them boarded it, he drove the flying boat towards Qingzhou.

  Due to yesterday's events, Luoyu felt a sense of crisis in her heart and chose a room to close the door and cultivate after boarding.

  Everything went smoothly, and after five days, the flying boat arrived above Qingzhou. At this time, Huang Luo Yi asked to go to Fang City first, and the three elders inquired about the opinions of the others. Luo Xue thought that she could go to Fang City to bring some gifts for her mother (she was too busy when she left home and didn't have time to buy anything), so she agreed. As for the other two younger ones, they would naturally follow suit. Moreover, her brother and sister could directly go to Fang City to find their parents, and going back to the main house would be inconvenient.

  After getting off the flying boat, Huang Luo Yi rushed straight to the stalls and didn't go to the shops.

  Huang Luo Yi walked in front of the stalls one by one, and finally stopped in front of a stall. The middle-aged owner was at the initial stage of his cultivation, wearing a gray robe, with a pale face, sitting cross-legged on a worn-out sheepskin mat. In front of him were scattered a few ordinary spiritual grasses, several bottles of condensed gas pills, some minerals, and some earth blocks and stones that couldn't be identified. At first glance, this was just an ordinary stall, except for a white jade box containing 5 spiritual beast eggs that seemed to attract people. The surface of the spiritual beast egg was pure white with a circle of patterns on it, which looked like the egg of a water spirit snake.

  Luo Yu finally understood: Huang Luo Yi was going to buy out the female lead Luo Xue's demon pet ahead of time!

  The book says that after the female master built her foundation and returned home, she strolled through the city before leaving Qingzhou and bought an egg of a demon beast with ice scales and blood veins. This demon beast is just an ordinary water spirit snake, which is considered to be a distant relative of the dragon, as one of the female master's golden fingers, this highest-ranking 7th-rank water spirit snake returned to its ancestors and finally grew into a divine beast.

  However, Huang Luo Yi hastily arrived at the market, preparing to rush ahead and buy the demon beast egg, it seems that plan has been ruined. I don't see the female lead in front of the stall either? In her heart, Luo Yu secretly gloated, you bullied me last time, let's see if you can surpass the female lead today.

  Huang Luo Yi was filled with regret at this moment, having never expected that Luo Xue would also follow him. If he had known earlier, he should have gone home first and then sneaked out to buy the demon beast egg.

  Huang Luo Yi reached out to take the jade box, preparing to buy all five demon beast eggs, simply because these five eggs couldn't be told apart and could only be hatched to see. Who knew that the female lead was so accurate with just one pick?

  Unexpectedly, a jade-like hand reached out and picked up one of the eggs. Huang Luo Yi looked up to see that it was none other than the female lead, Luo Xue. She immediately became anxious: "Put that down, this is the demon beast egg I've been eyeing!"

  Huang Luoxue gave her a strange look: "There are 4 more in the box." The implication was, go ahead and pick one.

  "I just want this one!" Huang Luo Yi was so anxious that her eyes turned red. Originally, she wasn't sure, but now she was certain that the creature in Luo Xue's hand was the future divine beast.

  Although the growth space of the water snake is not large, Huang Luoxue just prepared to buy it as a gift for her mother's self-defense (ordinary people can contract a low-level demon beast through a specific blood contract method, which was discovered unintentionally by her). However, if it were too high-ranking, she would be unable to control it. But when she got this egg, she had a kind of intimate feeling, and that made her even more unwilling to give up. Cultivators are very particular about fate connections.

  Huang Luoxue didn't bother with him and instead asked the stall owner how much it cost.

  Seeing this situation, Huang Luo Yi was both angry and anxious, stretching out her hand to grab it back, but her cultivation was one major level lower than the opponent's. Huang Luo Xue simply sidestepped and avoided it.

  The three elders managed to get the two girls to fight, he dodged and blocked Huang Luo Yi, then said to Huang Luo Xue: "Xiao Jiu, since Xiao Wu likes the one in your hand, you should give it to her." He had no choice, if Xiao Jiu gave in, everyone would be happy, and he would compensate her later.

  "No, I like it too!" Huang Luoxue's expression on her face became even colder, indeed, apart from her mother, no one truly cared about her.

  Three elders looked at two close nieces, one with a frosty face and the other with tears in her eyes. It was really difficult for them to know how to persuade them.

  "The five demon beast eggs are obviously the same, why does Fifth Sister insist on Ninth Sister's?" Luo Yu said softly, then looked at Zi Ye with an innocent face: "Brother, let's see if our spirit stones are enough, we can buy two back to play, one for you and one for me, and then see who raises their water spirit snake better."

  The three elders looked at Luo Yu helplessly, thinking that this was not the time to cause trouble. However, why did Xiao Wu insist on taking the egg from Xiao Jiu's hand? Was there something special about it? He prepared to use his divine consciousness to scan the egg.

  Who would have thought that at this moment, the egg cracked with a loud crack, and a small white snake crawled out. It quickly bit Luo Xue's middle finger and rubbed its brow against the wound. A faint light flashed, and the master-slave contract was established. Then, the white snake rolled up its tongue and swallowed the eggshell in a few mouthfuls. Finally, it tilted its head and fell asleep in Luo Xue's palm.

  Everyone was stunned! This is just a small water snake spirit, how can it be so intelligent as soon as it was born? Is it mutated? However, a spiritual beast that recognizes its master cannot be forced, even if the master is killed, the spiritual beast will die with him.

  Seeing that things could no longer be turned back, the three elders inquired about the price from the stall owner and asked Huang Luo Yi if he wanted to buy the other four eggs.

  Huang Luo Yi gave the small snake a stern look, truly a loyal and devoted spirit beast. But in the original text, there was no such thing as automatic recognition of masters. Could it be that my intervention caused the Heavenly Way to automatically repair itself? Am I destined to not defeat the female lead? I refuse...

  "Hold it! Calm your mind and focus on the inner peace technique." At a critical moment, her senior shouted loudly in Huang Luo Yi's heart, saving her from the danger of losing control.

  She quietly circulated the Jing Xin Jue, suppressing that surge of evil energy in her heart, then opened her mouth and said: "Thank you, Third Uncle, I'll take all four eggs." She didn't believe it, born from the same mother but with such a huge difference. Moreover, she had the Jièzi space, where countless spiritual grasses grew, and the spiritual beasts she raised would definitely advance faster than the female lead's.

  The three elders spent 20 pieces of medium-grade spirit stones to buy the five spiritual beast eggs, which was twice as much as usual. Alas, who made the two women quarrel on the spot? Anyone would double the price for sale, and if it weren't for his Golden Elixir cultivation, they might have been ripped off even more severely.

  After this incident, everyone lost interest in strolling. The Luo Yu siblings bid farewell to the Third Elder and returned directly to their own small courtyard.
