Chapter 178 Substitute Lu 2
With the daily nourishment of pure energy, the vitality of the egg was gradually increasing, but the embryo hatching in the egg was silent. The embryo and Lu Changning inside it fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but just when the patience of the people outside who were injecting spiritual energy was about to run out, there was gradually movement inside the egg.
Listening to the gentle sounds inside the egg, Xiao Yu, who was standing outside, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "After twelve years of incubation, it is finally going to succeed. Fortunately, there is still time. It is enough for me to train him to be able to replenish the formation."
He channeled the spiritual power in his hands more diligently, eagerly wanting the little snake in the egg to break out of the shell.
Xiao Yu, who was guarding the egg, propped up his head, thinking about Wang Ziyue who was traveling outside, and felt a little lonely: "Well, if it weren't for this snake, I should have gone down the mountain with them. I wonder where they are now and if they are injured?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu became even more annoyed as he looked at the snake egg that refused to hatch. "It's just a monster egg, why is it so troublesome? I keep sending spiritual energy to it every day, but it still can't hatch. Could it be a bad guy who was born with a defect?"
Just as he was thinking about it, a crack appeared on the eggshell. It was a shallow crack, but it brought hope to Xiao Yu.
That’s great! After waiting for so many years, it’s finally going to break out of the shell.
Xiao Yu quickly ran to the snake eggs and activated the formation to prevent the movements here from being detected by the outside world.
However, after the snake egg cracked a line, it became still again. Xiao Yu was so angry that he scratched his head and ears. If he was not afraid that prying it open would affect the development of the snake, Xiao Yu would have wanted to use a hammer to help him break the shell.
Xiao Yu waited and waited, from day till night. He waited so long that he fell asleep. The snake eggs protected by layers of formations finally began to move, and the eggshells were cracking little by little. The sound of the eggshells breaking woke Xiao Yu up. He immediately went to the front to check. He still wanted to know what color the snake demon he had hatched for so many years was.
When the eggshell was completely broken, a flash of red light appeared, and the inside of the eggshell became empty. The fragments of the shell were clean, and on the floor where Xiao Yu had just sat, a naked boy of about sixteen or seventeen was lying there quietly.
Xiao Yu looked at the eggshell, then at the person lying on the ground, and couldn't believe it: "This was hatched from an egg?"
Just tease him. How can such a big person hatch from such a small egg? He can accept a baby, but how can it be so big as soon as it breaks out of the shell? And where is the snake? He is ready for a slippery species, but not for a naked one.
Xiao Yu walked to the young man, squatted down and looked at his body. He was well-proportioned. Could it be that he had been working out all day in the egg? How come he had a body full of muscles just after breaking out of the shell?
He reached out and poked the boy's arm: "Hey, why is it warm?" Everyone knows that snakes are cold-blooded animals. Even if they transform into human form, their bodies are still icy cold. But this boy's arm is actually warm: "Could it be because of the fire attribute? This is good. It is easier to hide in the sect like this."
He reached out and picked up the boy from the ground, then turned around and threw him onto the bed beside him. Xiao Yu frowned as he looked at his naked body, then with a wave of his hand, the boy was immediately dressed in underwear.
"Well, this is much better. People say that the appearance of the demon race is not good-looking, I want to see how ugly it can be."
Xiao Yu pushed aside the boy's hair that was scattered on his face, but when the face underneath was revealed, Xiao Yu was stunned. This is not ugly!
Since he was a child, Xiao Yu has always heard people say that his race is good-looking and other races are ugly. He also thinks so. In all these years, he has never met anyone who is better-looking than his own race, not even Wang Ziyue, whom he has been thinking about. But this snake demon in front of him actually defeated the mermaid with a trace of divine blood in terms of beauty!
Xiao Yu reached out and poked the boy's warm cheek, making sure that there was no array decoration on his face before stopping: "Strange, how could a snake demon defeat a mermaid? Could it be that the spiritual power I have transferred over the past decade has changed his genes? Yes, that must be the case."
In this small world, gods existed before. Even though the gods have fallen, people's longing for gods has not diminished at all. Therefore, the human race who looks most like gods and the divine beasts with the blood of gods have become the high and mighty group of people in this world. Other holy spirits who have cultivated themselves into spirits and do not have the blood of gods can only be called monsters in the eyes of these people. They are appendages that can only be enslaved and vassals who cannot have independent personalities.
Just like this little snake, although it looks good, it is a snake without divine blood after all. Even if it has talent, it can only be an animal. In the end, it will become a thug under the Beast Tamer. This is its best path.
Therefore, Xiao Yu just marveled at the face of the snake demon for a moment and then went out, not taking him seriously at all.
It was the next afternoon when I thought of the snake demon again. I opened the door that imprisoned the snake demon and saw a mess on the floor. The table was overturned and the bed was broken. There were furniture fragments everywhere on the floor. The culprit was curled up in the corner, with a pair of big watery eyes, vigilantly observing everything around him.
Upon entering the room and seeing this miserable scene, Xiao Yu immediately became furious, and the stick in his hand even appeared: "Damn beast, you just broke out of your shell and you're causing trouble for me. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll definitely cause trouble when you grow up!"
After saying that, he smashed the stick in his hand towards the person in the corner, hitting him without mercy. The boy who had just faced this world was beaten to the left and right by the stick, but he had no intention of attacking the person at the door.
The stick was not retracted until the man was beaten to the ground, breathing weakly.
The young man lying on the ground raised his head, looked at the immortal above with grievance, and crawled towards him little by little.
Xiao Yu watched his movements and raised the stick in his hand again. It seemed that if his movements were slightly wrong, he would be killed on the spot!
The young man crawled to the feet of the immortal bit by bit with difficulty, reached out to gently tug at the hem of the immortal's clothes, pointed at his rumbling stomach, his face full of grievance.
Xiao Yu stared at the boy's actions and felt a little surprised. This monster was so smart that it asked for food as soon as it hatched from the shell.
"Be quiet, I'll go get the stuff."
After hearing what he said, the young man really did not move. When Xiao Yu came back, he was still lying on the ground, with his head tilted up and looking at him eagerly.
"Humph, you are such a beast. Even if you have a human form, you can't change your nature as a monster. Let's eat."
The food served was extremely simple, just four steamed buns and a bowl of water. The boy took the steamed buns and stuffed them into his mouth. The way his cheeks bulged made Xiao Yu laugh. He reached out and patted him on the head: "You are quite easy to feed!"
After living like this for a few days, the boy learned things very quickly. He could actually understand what Xiao Yu said and could also speak some simple words intermittently.
Maybe it was because of the boy's obedience, but Xiao Yu's attitude towards him improved a lot, and he even included some vegetables in his meals, which was rare.
Xiao Yu named the boy Ah Si, which means Dragon and Snake. The destroyed and empty room was Ah Si's residence.
Xiaohong, who had disappeared for a long time, finally remembered Lu Changning in her busy schedule and came over leisurely.
"Little Lu, I'm here to see you. Hey, you've broken out of your shell? How do you feel? Do you feel the power of God?"
"Who, who is it...speaking!" Ah Si looked around in fear, but the room had been wrecked by him and only a set of bedding was left. There was nothing left, no place for anyone to hide.
Xiao Hong in my mind was dumbfounded: "No one! Are you hallucinating? Why don't I sense anyone around me?"
"I said it again, come out!" Ah Si was so scared that he shrank into the quilt, looking around anxiously.
Seeing his behavior, Xiao Hong realized the problem: Oh, I was the one who spoke just now! No, Lu Changning is afraid of me? He doesn't recognize me?
"Xiao Luzi! You are trying to scare me on purpose, right? You are just trying to frame me!"
Ah Si tilted his head: "Xiao Luzi? Who is that?"
Xiao Hong was silent. He stared at the boy curled up in the quilt for a long time, trying to see evidence of his performance, but he was disappointed. The boy's eyes were clear and filled with fear, completely unlike Lu Changning's cunning look!
It's over, it seems like he really has lost his memory. Xiao Hong began to get anxious: It's easy to cure this person's memory loss, but how to cure a ghost's memory loss! Give him a bowl of Meng Po soup to fight poison with poison.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Xiao Hong pulled the stamen on her head, almost dying of worry: "Is Xiao Luzi's soul so weak? He can't bear a dragon egg with a little breath? Before, it was directly transferred to the black dragon and nothing happened. How come he lost his memory for no reason?
Xiao Hong carefully sniffed the scent of Ah Si's soul, and after confirming that it was Lu Changning, she felt relieved: Fortunately, the essence of the soul has not changed, and it is still the ghost messenger. But what should she do now? He has lost his memory, so he can't remember the mission.
After a little thought, Xiao Hong came up with an idea: "Young man, don't panic, I'm not a bad person."
The boy slowly poked his head out and muttered weakly, "My name is not boy, my name is A-mi."
Wow, the name has been changed, but it would be more appropriate to call him Achen.
"Okay, Ami, I'm actually in your mind. I'm your companion system!"
Ami tilted his head: "What is the system?"
Xiao Hong slapped her head. It was bad. He forgot that he didn't remember anything now. There was no system in this world, so how could he know? Looking at Xiao A Si holding Lu Changning's face, but showing an innocent look, Xiao Hong suddenly had a bold idea.
"It means, I am your father."
Ah Mi had never come across this word before, and had never heard the immortal say it. He tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face: "Dad, what does this mean?"
"Dad is your dad."
"father?"
"Hey!" Xiao Hong felt relieved! Even if he would be wanted by Lu Changning later, he would accept it.
Before Xiao Hong could continue to coax him and call out twice, someone came outside. He was so scared that he quickly hid.
The person who came in was Xiao Yu, who was holding a plate. Looking at Ah Si wrapped in a quilt, Xiao Yu's seemingly gentle face suddenly became stern: "What are you looking at? Come and eat."
Ah Si slowly crawled to the plate. Today's meal was still green. He picked up the chopsticks unskillfully. Ah Si looked at Xiao Yu who was about to leave and asked, "Immortal, who is your father?"
Xiao Yu stopped walking out, and scanned the empty room, finally landing on the squatting Ah Si: "Where did you hear that?"
Ah Mi pointed to his head: "He's here."
Xiaohong, who was hiding in secret, was trembling with fear. Lu Changning, this idiot, is still an idiot even if he has lost his memory. He actually sold me out so easily. Did this guy deliberately deceive me?
Xiao Yu lowered his head, and placed his palm on Ah Si's head. A stream of pure power flowed down, and he searched in Ah Si's sea of consciousness. However, after searching for a while, he did not find anything suspicious. Instead, the young man whose sea of consciousness was being searched turned pale, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
Looking at Ah Si who was still holding chopsticks even after fainting, Xiao Yu was full of disgust: "You are useless. You fainted so quickly. How can I expect you to do that thing?"
When Ah Si woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Xiao Yu sitting next to him. His face was immediately filled with joy.
Xiao Yu ignored his smile and said to him with a straight face: "Dad is a liar. Everything he said is a lie. He just wants to use you. Don't believe him, okay?"
Ah Mi nodded confidently: "Yes, I understand."
Xiao Yu patted A Si's head, turned around and sealed the room again.
After getting the answer, A Mi ate his meal happily.
"He's gone?" Xiaohong popped up.
Ah Mi ate his food without even looking up: "Let's go, the immortal said you are a liar."
"I have a bad temper. How can I be a liar? I am your father."
"Dad means liar."
You...Okay, I won't bother with you because you have lost your memory. Xiaohong has figured out that Ah Si is now a blank sheet of paper that belongs to Xiao Yu alone. He believes whatever Xiao Yu says. Let's keep him like this, Xiaohong thought. When he returns to the underworld, he can find out if there is any way to awaken Lu Changning's mind. Before that, as long as both of them are alive, it will be fine.
Ah Si was hidden in such a room. The happiest thing every day was waiting for Xiao Yu to bring him food. The rest of the time, he would sit quietly by himself. Sometimes when he was bored, the "Dad" in his mind would talk to him. Listening to the words of "Dad", Ah Si learned a lot of words he had never heard before, such as "damn", "fool", "madman", "idiot", and "big idiot".
However, A Si never dared to tell Xiao Yu these words, because "Dad" said that if he said these words, he would be slapped. Although he didn't know why, A Si knew that being slapped hurt, so he never told the immortal about his conversation with "Dad".
