Chapter 1631: Eggs of the Dragon and the Phoenix
Ye Xiao was expressionless. He didnât say anything.
The old man looked at the room and said, âYe 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 soonâŚâ
He stayed silent for a while and then continued, âIt 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 gratitudeâŚâ
Chihuo made a sigh and took out a smaller space ring from his space ring. âTake this. It may help you one day.â
Ye Xiao didnât turn it down. He took it over and said, âChihuo, you donât 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.â
âI know. Maybe I will escape. Maybe I will survive.â Chihuo seriously said, âNo matter what, I donât think I can ever return to this city.
âWhen I leave, we wonât meet again.â
Ye Xiao sighed. He knew the old man was right.
âIn this ring, there are some eggs of the Dragon and Phoenix.â Chihuo said, âThere 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.â
Chihuo took a deep breath and said, âYou⌠The eggs can give you at least ten thousand years of cultivation!
âI 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. Nobody should be blamed if I am killed. Donât ever think about avenging me. We are not that close anyway!â Chihuo smiled and said, âThe 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 wouldnât need to take that risk later⌠Ah, it is all destinyâŚâ
Ye Xiao took over the ring, and he was astounded!
âThe eggs of the dragon and phoenix!â
âThey are in this ring, arenât they?â
Ye Xiao thought that inside this ring, there must be everything Chihuo had in life. It was all Chihuo had, and it wouldnât be valuable enough to catch Ye Xiaoâs attention. After all, Ye Xiao had a Boundless Space full of valuable things. In fact, he wouldnât 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 didnât 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.
âThese are the eggs that caused the huge trouble, arenât they?â
âThis is the reason why the Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King would travel all the way to hunt Chihuo down, isnât it?â
âThey are in my hands now!â
Ye Xiao was emotional, but suddenly he didnât feel right about it. âWait. It doesnât make sense. You said you ate the eggs! How come they are in this ring now?â
Chihuo laughed bitterly and said, âYou 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.â
âOh?â Ye Xiaoâs eyes lit up, and he said, âSo you only took a part of the essence of the two eggs, didnât you?â
âA part? I took nothing!â Chihuo smiled bitterly and said, âSince 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⌠HoweverâŚâ
âOkay⌠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, canât they?â
Ye Xiao asked, âIf so, why donât 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 wonât forgive you, they wonât have to kill you. They are the leaders of two great clans. They canât be so narrow-minded. They wonât push you to death!â
Chihuo looked sad. âI know. I thought of it. Of course, I did. I wouldnât 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.â
âYou broke the life qi of the dragon and phoenix? How could you? That is horribleâŚâ Ye Xiao scolded.
âOh⌠The eggs carry the natural qi of their clans. If I donât 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 couldnât 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 placeâŚâ Chihuo said.
Ye Xiao shook his head and made a long sigh. âThe 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 wouldnât they hunt you down? You are old and experienced. You should know about it, shouldnât you? You actually dared to do it⌠You left no way out for yourselfâŚâ
âI didnât mean to do itâŚâ Chihuo was obviously upset about it. âWhen 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 couldnât sit there and wait for death⌠I ran away immediately, but they kept coming after me⌠Oh!â
He made a long sigh and looked powerless.
âIt is too late to regret. Even if I can escape this time, I wonât get peace back in my heart. I wonât have time for me to absorb the essence⌠so I guess I should give them to you.â

Ye Xiao didnât know what to say, but he still said, âIf you didnât break the qi in the eggs, the dragon and the phoenix wouldnât chase you, but the two eggs would still be two trackers that expose our location. Now they are dead, but it also means you canât get the two clansâ forgiveness anymoreâŚâ
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.
âIf the two little things in the eggs are still alive⌠I have the Boundless Space, 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.â
