Chapter 326: Chapter 326 - 285: Is that Egg His Daughter?_2

This comparison could simply infuriate or embarrass someone to death!

“You practice alchemy… without using a Pill Tripod?” Wushuang coughed dryly, asking somewhat awkwardly.

“With or without both work, but it’s more convenient without,” Li Cheng answered truthfully.

Without waiting for Li Cheng to speak, Wushuang had already put away the twelve top-quality Breakthrough Pills, her face unflushed and her heart steady, she indifferently said, “I was just attempting to create a powerful explosive Divine Skill using the Pill Tripod, unfortunately, I haven’t found a clue yet. It seems to have caused you to misunderstand that I was practicing alchemy.”

Without waiting for Li Cheng to open his mouth, Wushuang asked again, “What business do you have with me?”

Li Cheng strived to maintain his calm, after all, Wushuang’s words could easily make one lose their composure.

After composing himself, Li Cheng said, “That Dragon Corpse from before, he said to entrust his daughter to me for upbringing…”

No sooner had he spoken than he was met with Wushuang’s indignant gaze, “Do you think I am a three-year-old child? A corpse entrusting his daughter to you for upbringing? Where does this daughter come from?”

Li Cheng shrugged, “There is a Remnant Soul inside the Dragon Corpse, and the Remnant Soul said so.”

Wushuang frowned, her delicately carved face showing an adorable expression, “That’s well concealed, I didn’t even notice the presence of a Remnant Soul.”

“But as for a daughter, there really isn’t one,” Wushuang added.

Li Cheng was puzzled; it wasn’t right—the Remnant Soul had said that his daughter was in Wushuang’s hands.

“Maybe you could think about it carefully, Miss Wushuang?” Li Cheng suggested.

Wushuang shook her head confidently, “I’m certain, when I found the Dragon Corpse, there was only the body and an egg… hmm? Is the egg his daughter?”

Li Cheng was astonished; the Remnant Soul hadn’t mentioned that her daughter was an egg!

Not yet hatched? Did he need to hatch it himself?

Were Divine Dragons oviparous?

Li Cheng was immediately besieged with a trio of questions in his mind.

Wushuang had already taken out the egg, “You let him come out and see, if this is the egg, I always thought this egg was strange, I never had the heart to eat it.”

…

As Li Cheng was preparing to communicate with the Remnant Soul in the Dragon Corpse, the voice of the Remnant Soul came first, “That’s right, she’s my daughter!”

“He says it is,” Li Cheng said.

Wushuang casually tossed the egg to Li Cheng, “This egg is very sturdy, impervious to water and fire, and resistant to swords and blades. If you are going to hatch it… forget what I just said.”

A grown man hatching an egg—it’s quite a picture to imagine.

Li Cheng received the egg, casting a dubious look at Wushuang; not willing to eat it because it couldn’t be cracked open?

Putting away the egg, Li Cheng expressed his thanks with a fist-clasped bow, “Thank you, Miss Wushuang, for your generosity!”

Wushuang drew a breath from the Demon Suppression Order and inserted it into Li Cheng’s Demon Suppression Order, “When you hatch the Dragon Girl, remember to tell me, I want to see her too.”

Li Cheng smiled, “No problem, Miss Wushuang, I shall take my leave now.”

This trip was smoother than expected. Wushuang, despite having quite a temper, was still very approachable and didn’t propose any conditions, simply handing it over.

Wushuang waved her hand, not saying much more.

As Li Cheng left, Wushuang jumped onto the Pill Tripod, examining the pitch-dark interior with a slight frown, “I never realized, as good as he is at Artifact Refining, he’s even better at alchemy.”

“With such exceptional Pill Skill, could I possibly convince him to teach me?”

Li Cheng, satisfied, returned to the courtyard, opened his Domain, and brought out the Dragon Corpse, “Elder, your daughter hasn’t hatched yet, and you didn’t mention it sooner, what should we do now?”

“Of course, hatch it. She’s a Fire Dragon, just nourish her wholeheartedly with Divine Fire, it won’t take long to hatch,” the Remnant Soul appeared, full of expectation.

Li Cheng looked at the Remnant Soul with some uncertainty, “Are you sure to go all out? Won’t that cook her?”

Seventy thousand Laws of the Rule of Fire plus his abilities made refining a second-level Divine Pill merely a momentary task; the Divine Fire was so powerful, could an egg withstand it?

The Remnant Soul was somewhat speechless, “Have you ever seen a Water Dragon drowned by water?”

Li Cheng shook his head, to be honest, he had never seen a Water Dragon.

He had only seen Ao Qianchi before, who seemed to be an Earth Dragon.

Although the Remnant Soul was confident, Li Cheng still dared not act recklessly. Pointing at the Dragon Corpse, he said, “Your own body couldn’t withstand my Divine Fire’s refining, are you sure it’s safe?”

The Remnant Soul nodded, “Rest assured, Divine Fire below a million Laws of the Rule of Fire are all nourishing for my daughter.”

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow; that seemed quite formidable!

Then rest assured!

As he reached out, the Rule of Fire within his domain swept over, surging into Li Cheng’s hand, “With such a level of Divine Fire, how long will it take for her to hatch?”

“Quite fast, ten thousand years should be sufficient!” the Remnant Soul said with anticipation.

Li Cheng was dumbfounded, “Ten thousand years is considered fast? How big is the senior’s misunderstanding about speed?”

Confusion flashed in the Remnant Soul’s eyes, “Isn’t ten thousand years fast? Sometimes you sleep and hundreds of thousands of years pass, and it takes several hundred million years just to cultivate once. What kind of thinking is that?”

Li Cheng dispersed the Divine Fire in his hand, “Is there another way? To have me burn it for ten thousand years, I refuse!”

“Of course there is, find a place rich in Fire series power, and my daughter will naturally hatch faster,” the Remnant Soul said still full of confusion, evidently still pondering whether ten thousand years was a long time.

“What else?” Li Cheng believed that there had to be more than one method.

The Remnant Soul looked towards the Dragon Corpse, “My Dragon Ball is still inside. If you activate the power of the Dragon Ball and channel it into my daughter’s body, it can also quicken the hatching process.”

“Another method is to find Fell Dragon Grass, the power of Fell Dragon Grass can also speed up my daughter’s hatching.”

Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, that should make things easier!

Fell Dragon Grass, he had brought a stalk from the Immortal World, but he didn’t know how much it would speed up the hatching of the egg.

But together with the power of the Dragon Ball, it would surely be faster.

With this thought, Li Cheng decided to employ a dual approach!

No, coupled with the Divine Fire, a triple approach!

“With the power of my Dragon Ball to nurture, it will take only a hundred years to hatch, that’s fast, right? Of course, if that’s still not fast enough for you, then find Fell Dragon Grass. With Fell Dragon Grass, ten years should suffice.”

“But let me remind you, Fell Dragon Grass is only found on Dragon Island… Damn it, where did you get that from?”

Before the Remnant Soul’s words finished, Li Cheng had already produced Fell Dragon Grass in his hand.

“Don’t ask, what should I do?” Li Cheng looked at the Remnant Soul.

The Remnant Soul’s eyes widened, the surprise gradually turning into excitement, “Good, that’s fantastic!”

His excitement was enough to indicate that the Fell Dragon Grass was more than just a means to speed up the hatching process for his daughter.

Li Cheng simply watched quietly, waiting for him to get over his excitement. He would surely tell how to proceed afterward.

After a while, the Remnant Soul quelled his excitement and spoke, “This will be easy then, retrieve my Dragon Ball first!”

Both the man and the Remnant Soul turned their gaze towards the Dragon Corpse.

Li Cheng pondered, if this Divine Dragon were not dead, could it not spit out its Dragon Ball by itself?

Now that it was dead, perhaps it could only be dug out.

“What are you staring at? Hurry up and split my head open, the Dragon Ball is inside,” said the Remnant Soul.

Li Cheng looked at the Remnant Soul, “This is somewhat cruel; maybe you should turn your back first?”

Indeed, it would be cruel to watch one’s own head being split open.

The Remnant Soul was taken aback for a moment, as if imagining the scene of his head being split open. He sighed softly and said, “For my daughter, what is this in comparison?”

Li Cheng nodded, since the Remnant Soul had said so, then split it should be!

He raised his right hand slightly, the Rule of Fire swirled, and condensed into a sharp sword, stabbing towards the Dragon Corpse’s forehead.

“Wait!” the Remnant Soul suddenly shouted.

Li Cheng turned his head, puzzled, “What’s the matter? Do you want to turn away first?”

The Remnant Soul shook his head, “Actually, there’s no need to split it open. You can directly Refine and absorb the power within my dead body, use yourself as a medium, and then channel it into my daughter’s body.”

Li Cheng pondered, if he did that, he would have to endure the remaining power of the Dragon Corpse first. With the strength of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, he would surely benefit a great deal.

“Fine, let’s do that. I’ll also absorb the power of the Fell Dragon Grass and channel it into the egg at the same time,” Li Cheng said.

The next moment, flames soared within his domain, enveloping the dragon egg. Simultaneously, with one hand, Li Cheng made a grasping motion towards the Dragon Corpse and Fell Dragon Grass, cycling the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture and drawing in their powers, while his other hand reached towards the dragon egg, channeling those powers into it.

The power contained within the Dragon Corpse was astonishingly immense, not just the power of the Dragon God but also the essence of its formidable physical strength. Even as it merely passed through Li Cheng’s veins, it continuously strengthened Li Cheng’s body.

The vast vitality and profound, mysterious power in the Fell Dragon Grass did the same.

“Fell Dragon Grass is greatly beneficial to my daughter’s growth. I won’t take advantage of you. Once my daughter hatches, I’ll tell you a big secret!” Seeing Li Cheng going all out, the Remnant Soul couldn’t help but speak.

“Don’t talk about distant things. Can you estimate how long it will take to hatch now with this method?”
