My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 298 Alien Egg
All around, the corpses of strangely shaped monsters and wild beasts were scattered.

Their deaths were extremely gruesome.

Without exception, each of these corpses had a horrific hole in its chest, bursting open from the inside out, as if something had been forcibly forced out of their bodies, leaving the holes a bloody mess.

As he observed, he tried to move his body and sit up, and then his expression changed.

But he found himself tightly bound by a sticky, semi-transparent, thread-like substance that was extremely tough, making it difficult for him to move no matter how hard he tried.

"Tsk, it even has a binding effect?" Ji curled his lips, not flustered at all. He opened his inventory, rummaged around for a while, and pulled out a small bottle, which was the "high-quality potent dissolving liquid" specially used to remove various binding traps.

He painstakingly dripped the medicine onto his body, and the tough viscous substance immediately seemed to have met its nemesis, making a "sizzling" sound as it turned into pools of disgusting pus and dissolved.

After escaping, he habitually looked inward to see if he had been affected by any strange debuffs. Then, he saw something that made his eyelids twitch wildly.

Near his dantian, an egg that was still pulsating slightly was curled up and constantly taking hold, and then an identification spell was cast on it.

Alien Egg

[Quality: Ordinary]

However, before he could take a closer look, a strange scene unfolded.

He could clearly feel that the unique aura of death emanating from his body was already eroding the egg.

In the inventory, the [Alien Egg], which was originally of "normal" quality, was slowly turning gray at a visible rate...

[Ding! Your actions have caused a quality degradation to the "Alien Egg"!]

Alien Egg

Quality: Poor

"What the hell?!" Ji exploded on the spot, his mentality instantly losing balance.

No... what does this mean?! Who are you looking down on?! Me! I am, after all, the chief 'material consumable' of the Guixi Sect, a seasoned Core Formation stage suicide master! You gave me an ordinary body, fine, but why are you going to regress and make it 'inferior' quality?! Is this reasonable?!
The parents of this thing are so blind! What is this supposed to be?! It's like someone ascending to heaven and undergoing tribulation, and the heavens crack open, but nothing happens, and then they look back and realize, oh, it turns out the fuse for the heavenly lightning was damp! Isn't this pure insult?!

To be honest, if the egg were of "excellent" or even "epic" quality, he might actually sacrifice himself to find a way to hatch it and raise it to see what kind of "alien baby" he could produce.

But now, even if it's just ordinary... it's been labeled as "inferior quality"?!

If this hatches, won't my fellow disciples laugh me to death if I take it out?! Everyone else brings divine beasts and immortal pets, and I'm bringing a "low-quality" deformed freak? The image is just too beautiful!

However, despite his complaints, he didn't dare to do anything rash and simply destroyed the thing.

After all, the shadowy figure who could kill him in one move was unfathomably powerful. The reason he was still alive was probably because he was being used as a "mobile petri dish" to incubate this egg. Having just had a fortuitous encounter, he didn't want to die so soon.

If I were to abort this "child" now, even if the "parents" didn't sense it immediately, they would kill me when they saw me, since my "petition dish" would probably have no value by then.

"Ugh! What bad luck!" Ji grew angrier the more he thought about it. "How did I end up with such a 'low-quality' one! No, I have to go see if I can find anything better!"

As he pondered this, he opened the mini-map and marked his current location. He realized it wasn't far from where he had previously fainted. Although resurrecting after dying would mean a long journey, he decided to cherish this opportunity. Besides, it wouldn't be good if this guy took the chance to escape while he was resurrecting.

Not far away, some grayish-white fleshy egg cases were scattered in twos and threes. These egg cases had a leathery texture and were covered with strange dark purple veins. In the dim light, they seemed to be pulsating slightly.

He carefully approached the fleshy egg cases, which were about half a person's height, and used his identification technique on each one.

Alien Egg (Dormant)

Quality: Poor

Alien Egg (Dormant)

Quality: Average...

Well, after looking around, all I could find were "inferior" and "ordinary" quality products; I couldn't even find a single "excellent" one.

"Tsk..." Ji lost interest in the pet eggs laid out in front of him. These low-quality things were not worth the risk of him taking action.

“Since we’re already here,” he rubbed his hands together, his face once again showing that eager smile, “as a ‘petition dish,’ we should at least scout out the ‘child’s’ future home first!”

……

In Anhe City, inside the Su residence, in Lin Qingfeng's guest room, the atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.

Looking at the distraught man before her, Su Ling'er softened her voice and continued her questioning: "Mr. Mu, think carefully again... When was the last time you met before the incident? Did she show any unusual behavior?"

“Abnormal?” Mu Ling was stuck in the quagmire of memories, his eyes vacant, slowly shaking his head. “No… nothing abnormal. Everything… is the same as usual.”

His voice became distant, as if he had returned to that afternoon: "The day before the accident was the Flower Festival, and we were still admiring the flowers in the yard... She even smiled and said that after we got married, she would replace all the crabapple trees in the yard with her favorite peach trees..."

"The day before that... we were still preparing for the wedding, discussing many details... that day I also gave her a jade bracelet. Although the bracelet was just ordinary green jade and the style was very common, it was the only one I successfully carved for her!"

Most of the bracelets I bought failed, but the one I gave her was the only one that was successfully carved, with two swallows flying head to tail..." he said, his voice lowering again.

She immediately pressed on, "Besides the bracelet, were there any other valuables lost from the household?"

“No…” Mu Ling shook his head blankly, “The officials said nothing was missing, and… and they even found fragments of that jade bracelet on the ground…”

There was no loss of property, so the killing wasn't for money. Su Ling'er felt like she was caught in a fog.

If she hadn't personally examined the body, and if her senior brother hadn't possessed the expertise to discover that extremely discordant detail; if she hadn't heard Mu Ling recount An Qinyao's beautiful dreams for the future before her death...

What I saw before me seemed to be just an ordinary suicide by hanging. The murderer's method was clean and efficient.

Su Ling'er couldn't understand it, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at her senior brother: "Brother Rich Businessman, what do you think about this matter?"
