Chapter 410: The Phoenix Egg

Erling’s expression became noticeably downcast, "It couldn’t be help. The territory I was serving and the surrounding ones were invaded by Abysmal Monsters."

(A/N: Abysmal Monsters are those controlled by the Abysmal Race for example Liches.)

"It turns out our situation are not so different." Winston smiled wryly.

Erling also let out a bitter smile.

The atmosphere was gloomy before Erling turned to Stefan.

"How about you, Stefan?"

Contrary to Winston, Erling and Stefan were much older.

Despite Erling was approaching his forties, he had kept his physique well maintained. His red burgundy hair was shoulder length curled like waves framing his angular face beautifully complementing his caramel brown eyes.

He had an old small scar on his right brow and lower left chin.

On the other hand, Stefan was bald. He had a long dark brown lumber jack beard and thick mustache. His eyes were in the shade of yellow that would often be mistaken for gold and was way more muscular than Erling.

Stefan glanced at the two before answering, "Beltora, an adventurer."

The two were used to Stefan’s succinct responses and weren’t dispirited.

"Beltora, Elpora and Gamora, I never knew that we were from the same Region!" Winston exclaimed at the coincidence.

But at the same time, it was very unfortunate because Quintera Region had been partly conquered by Abysmal Race.

Winston smile disappeared.

Erling appeared to be surprised too, "Well, will you look at that. Cassia, Remi, Faustus, and Minerva are from Quintera Region too. It seems we’re fated to meet."

"They are?" Winston was shocked.

Erling observed at Serena who was leaning against the wall. Among them, she was the one who had the nicest equipment and clothing and her conducts were befitting of a noble. He was curious as to why she came here.

"I hear something..." Serena’s pointy ears perked. She picked up her staff and gazed at the distance.

The other three ceased chatting and looked.

Winston used his skill again. "It’s the Landowner."

They quickly leaned against the edge and saw the silhouette of the Landowner.

Because of the pearls Chunhua brought back from the Atlantis, the territory was no longer without street lights.

----

When the Chunhua, Siri and Haoran reached the walls, Erling and his team, assigned to watch for the night saluted the landowner.

"Landowner, we’re glad you’re safe!"

Chunhua looked confused but still waved her hand.

Siri explained. "I told them...So that what happened. Anyway, did you see a high-level monster on your way back?"

"High-level monster? I didn’t see anything." Chunhua answered truthfully.

Triton coughed.

Haoran listened quietly.

Siri was lost in thought.

There was no monster? Did it hide after sensing his Master’s aura? That could be a possibility.

She returned to her residence with Haoran escorting her on the side.

Because tomorrow would be a busy day, Siri separated and went to prepare.

She stopped and lowered her eyes on her azure robe that had become unrecognizable. Her eyes were evident with guilt.

She liked it so much because it was light and comfortable and especially made by him.

"A’Ran, I’m sorry for ruining the clothes you made. I know you made them by hand with care but I failed to even protect them."

She had tried sewing and embroidery, so she knows how hard it was. Not to mention Haoran sewed a perfect whole robe. That’s why she was very guilty.

A chuckle came from above before she felt something touch her cheek.

"Alright, I got my compensation." The man curved his lips. "It’s just a dress. No need to feel sorry."

Did he just...

Chunhua’s face was ripe liked tomato after realizing what he had done.

Her heart that would not be bothered even a dragon appeared, was immediately flustered.

"I-I remember I have something to do. Anyway...g-good night..." That was embarrassing.

The smile on Haoran’s lips unconsciously deepened, watching a small shy rabbit cupped her cheeks and escaped fast.

Finally her gaze on him became different.

While walking back to his residence, a screen window popped up and his fingers scrolled through a list of items.

The tilt of his lips had yet to disappear.

---

Even when Chunhua returned to her room, the redness of her cheeks had yet to fade.

She had to admit that ever since that night, it’s like they cross a certain threshold.

It was hard look to look at his eyes and lips because it only reminded Chunhua of the kiss. The memory was like sticky glutinous rice in her mind, it was hard to erase.

To distract her mind from falling into deeper mire, Chunhua opened up the [Earth Points Shop].

Before the trip to the Reward World, the system had promised her that the [Earth Points Shop] will be exclusively opened for a period of three days.

[Earth Points Balance: 90, 500]

The last reward from defeating Little Noodle’s Mother was rich.

Speaking of which, Chunhua took out the egg.

"Why did you help me?" She asked. Her gaze directed at the egg turned curious.

At a critical moment, during the Thunder Calamity, before she lost consciousness, she heard a voice.

It was the same voice that asked for her help when she fought with Little Zhou’s mother.

When the egg showed no response, Chunhua seriously said, "What do I do, I’m suddenly craving for an omelet. Anyway, this phoenix egg seemed to be empty. I’ll make it into an omelet."

Half of Chunhua’s face was cast in shadow and it partly resembled the starving demon moments ago.

Still no response...

Oh, it’s really stubborn.

Chunhua went to the stove, drizzled the wok with oil, prepared seasonings on the side and started cracking the egg shell.

The egg glowed, shook from fear, and wanted to escape Chunhua’s hands.

But when it failed, a voice entered Chunhua’s mind.

[Stop! Stop! Lunatic, I’ll speak!]

That scared the sh*t of phoenix! It thought the human only was joking.

[I helped you because I wanted to ask for a favor!]

"I’m not an ungrateful person. What kind of favor is it? Is it about your child?" Chunhua said.
