Chapter 22: 22. Zi Ye, my name.
Mo Baobao's guess was correct. Mo Jiuli had felt a large fluctuation from the egg she had made a contract with - the biggest in five years. The first time this Contract Egg had reacted this much...
Although she had made the contract with the egg under some unavoidable circumstances, the link between a Soul Life Contract Beast and its master always caused her to pay special attention to the egg…
Perhaps it was because she knew, their contract relationship was eternal, enduring from lifetime to lifetime, one that would never be abandoned or given up…
So, she didn't even wait to tell Baobao before rushing over immediately...
This place was a hollow in the southern region of the Heavenly Book Space, separated by a transparent barrier. Although the barrier was transparent, it wasn't see-through, so the situation inside was indiscernible from the outside…
For five years, this egg has been residing here, always enveloped in a golden light, an incredibly majestic sight to behold. This occasionally gave Mo Jiuli the illusion...
That the beast within the egg seemed to resemble a Supreme King between Heaven and Earth! It could only be watched, not to be defiled…
She then laughed at herself for thinking this, how could a Spiritual Beast give her such a feeling…
Mo Jiuli, as usual, passed through the barrier and came upon this Golden Egg, seeing the increased radiance at this moment, almost as if it were about to touch the horizon...
Mo Jiuli was stunned at this sight, was the egg about to hatch…?
"Guard your heart… " Just as Mo Jiuli was frozen, the golden light that enveloped the egg suddenly extended and enveloped her...
Without waiting for Mo Jiuli to react, a pleasant, clear voice like a spring echoed…
Mo Jiuli didn't have time to ponder whose voice it was because the light that appeared golden was burning on her like a fire...
No, it should be hotter than fire, she felt like she was about to be burned to ashes...
"Guard your heart..."
The voice rang out again, this time clearly with a touch of laughter! Damn it, was it taking joy in her torment…?
But at this moment, Mo Jiuli had no time to dwell on so much! All her concentration was used to maintain her consciousness…
The burning fire consumed her skin bit by bit. She could feel even her skin being incinerated, then her bones, each one seeming to crumble to ashes...
Strangely, even while burning, she still didn't die! Not only that, she seemed to feel that the previously burned bones were recombining and regrowing…
It appeared that her meridians had also widened…
Eight words suddenly flashed across her mind "Phoenix Nirvana, rebirth from the flames!"
"You're not stupid!" Just when Mo Jiuli's thoughts emerged, she heard another voice full of praise and sighs …
Which made Mo Jiuli feel a bit irate...
As the flames burned time and time again, Mo Jiuli's body was destroyed and reformed repeatedly. She was already numb from the burning, not knowing when the torment would end...
It continued until she could no longer endure and passed out...
It was three hours later when Mo Jiuli reopened her eyes. Seeing her lie on the ground, there was a flicker of confusion in her eyes…
Seeming not to understand why she woke up in this place...
"Cough cough..." A soft cough caught Mo Jiuli's attention, and she followed the sound...
Even for her, a modern soul who has seen all kinds of handsome men in the modern world, she was still unconsciously stunned...
How can a man be so captivating? The man's black hair fell like a waterfall on the ground, his silver crown wrapped high around his head. His intoxicating peach blossom eyes and the white long gown he wore gave him a celestial-like aura, like a white kite ready for flight...
And underneath him seemed to be two halves of an eggshell...
Eggshell? Mo Jiuli came back to her senses and stared at the handsome man half-lying there...
"You can stop staring, shouldn't you put on some clothes first?" The man watched Mo Jiuli's eyes with a hint of spoiling affection, and a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuli realized that she felt a cool breeze on her naked body. She looked down and nearly fainted! She was lying naked on the ground, and she was dumbfounded while staring at the handsome man instead of putting on clothes...
She felt like she'd lost all face for Earth people...
Mo Jiuli's face burned red, and she quickly changed into a set of clothes...
Then, she turned to glare at the culprit who made her challenge her dignity; she now remembered what happened previously! This guy was the golden egg she contracted five years ago...
She initially thought it was going to hatch today, but unexpectedly this egg didn't break, it just burnt her. Although she understood it changed her constitution...
But as her contract beast, couldn't it delicately cover her with a piece of clothing when she fainted, completely naked, on the ground?
"Cough cough, I can't move!" Seeing Mo Jiuli seething, the handsome man explained.
Only then did Mo Jiuli noticed that this man hasn't moved since lying in the two halves of the eggshell...
So, it wasn't intentional, letting her lie bare on the ground...
The handsome man chuckles inwardly, what he didn't say was, even if he couldn't move, there was a way he could have helped her. Obviously, he was not planning to tell her...
"What kind of beast are you?" Mo Jiuli curiously asked him.
According to her knowledge, on the Lingtian Continent, only holy beasts have the capability to speak. And only divine beasts can transform into a human form...
This guy turned into a human form right after hatching, is he a divine beast?
"Don't compare me to something as low-level as a divine beast!" The other party arrogantly said.
Mo Jiuli remained silent...
Are divine beasts low-level? According to Little Book, there are not more than one hundred divine beasts found on the entire Lingtian Continent. And every divine beast is generally considered an expert that no human can contract...
This guy dares to call such powerful divine beasts low-level? Is he just naturally dumb, or really doesn't know what a divine beast is...
"Even just hatched, I am nobler than those low-level divine beasts by countless times!" The other party answered before Mo Jiuli could ask.
"I helped you transform your constitution just now, so I need to continue sleeping! If you encounter danger, you can wake me! Also, you must cultivate well, as my master, you are too weak! Zi Ye, is my name... " After he finished speaking, without waiting for Mo Jiuli's reply, he closed his eyes...
Meanwhile, Mo Jiuli was dragged out of the barrier by a wave of purple light...
