Su Jun only regarded this egg as a tool to deal with Chu Muyang in the future.

But every time he touched the egg, he could feel the weak breathing and heartbeat under his palm...

Gradually, subtle changes took place in Su Jun's heart.

He would get up early to catch the first rays of morning light and collect dew.

They would also go into the water to catch fish, carefully pick out the bones, and feed the eggs.

He thought that maybe it would be nice to have a little one to depend on.

No longer holding the mentality of taking advantage, he took extra care of the eggs.

The more careful Su Jun was, the more headache Ling Zhou had. The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that Su Jun did not use his own blood to feed the egg.

That day, before dawn, Ling Zhou was awakened by a rustling sound.

He didn't even need to turn around to know that Su Jun was going to the woods to collect dew again.

It can't go on like this!

Su Jun had no idea how terrifying the monster he was raising was.

He wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and sat up. In the light of the fire, he suggested to Su Jun, who was pulling the fur coat to cover the egg, "Why don't you put it down and I'll help you watch it? This way it will be convenient for you to go to the woods."

Su Jun turned his head to look at him, his eyes reflecting the firelight swaying slightly as he thought about the feasibility.

It is indeed inconvenient to carry the eggs up the mountain. The eggs almost fell off him several times yesterday.

It would be bad if it hits the rocks on the mountain and breaks.

Thinking of this, Su Jun raised his fingers and gently stroked the eggshell.

After three days of feeding, the patterns on the eggs became much clearer, with thin lines weaving the outline of the silvery patterns, and exuding a pleasant aroma.

He liked the egg very much and smiled inadvertently, "I'm going to collect dew for you, you stay here and wait for me to come back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fine lines on the egg emitted a faint light, as if it sensed that he was leaving, and it swayed slightly like a hungry baby craving for the warmth of its mother.

It... is trying to retain itself?

Su Jun's father's heart softened. He held the egg in his arms and gently coaxed it, "Good boy, grow up quickly so that we can meet soon."

The egg seemed to understand his words, and its light faded and returned to calm.

Looking at the harmonious scene of a man and an egg snuggling with each other, Ling Zhou felt creepy.

Junior brother is not in his right mind.

Who would have a good impression of the opposite sex?

Isn't he afraid that a half-human, half-demon monster will hatch from the egg, just like Spider-Woman?

Su Jun handed the egg to Ling Zhou, and said in a completely different way than the gentle coaxing he had just given her. "Take good care of it, or you won't have dinner tonight."

He was not afraid that Ling Zhou would run away, not because he trusted him, but because Ling Zhou could not.

The injury on Ling Zhou's leg was very strange. No matter what medicine he took, it didn't get better and it even showed signs of erosion.

Otherwise, he would not do such trivial things as collecting dew and catching fish by himself.

Ling Zhou took the egg despite the pressure from Su Jun. The egg was held in Su Jun's arms every day, so the temperature should be very high.

But when it fell into his hands, it felt only bone-chillingly cold.

The chill spread through his bones and throughout his limbs, and he almost dropped the egg.

The cold gaze was still on him. Ling Zhou suppressed the impulse in his heart and forced a smile, "Don't worry, I know it is very important to you."

Su Jun nodded and decided to go and come back quickly.

After waiting for Su Jun to walk away, Ling Zhou immediately lowered his head to study the egg in his hand.

He had fed some monsters at Yaofeng and had some understanding of them, but those monsters were kept in captivity as medicinal materials.

Judging from the patterns and the scent, this should be a flower fairy.

No, no, no...

Flower demons are the gentlest of all demon beasts and do not feed on blood.

As I watched, the patterns on the egg suddenly came alive.

The thin silver thread coiled and actually detached from the egg, turning into a slender vine that wrapped around his hand.

It was too late for Ling Zhou to throw the egg away. The vine climbed up his arm and blossomed with lilac buds, like a dream.

As the fragrance of the flowers wafted through his eyes, his vision gradually lost focus and his consciousness became trapped in darkness.

The buds on the vine blossomed, beauty mixed with deadly danger, revealing fine and dense serrations that bit his neck.

The dusk faded away, the sky turned pale, and the morning sun was cold, shining through the woods onto Su Jun's face as he was collecting dew.

He squinted his eyes, sniffed the scent of the earth, and felt that his beautiful life began the day Chu Muyang was not around.

He would be better off if he never saw him again.

Su Jun didn't know how to tie his hair, so he just used a wooden hairpin to hastily tie it together these days. As he bent over, his hair spread out in front of his collar, which was somewhat cumbersome.

Su Jun irritably tucked a strand of long hair into his hair. He missed his neat and crisp short hair so much.

Taking the porcelain vase from his lapel, Su Jun gently bent the grass leaves with a branch, and dewdrops fell into the vase. He raised the corners of his lips and moved on to the next one.

Practice makes perfect at this. He is no longer the Su Jun who could throw two out of three dewdrops and stay in the woods for two hours.

7410 stared at Su Jun with a complicated expression. In his impression, Su Jun was not a person who was overly loving.

He doesn't like to keep pets. To him, they are a burden and will deprive him of his freedom.

When did Su Jun change this mindset and start doing everything himself?

It always felt that Su Jun's kindness to the egg was a little abnormal.

Thinking of what Su Jun asked him three days ago, 7410 coiled on a stone not far away and said to Su Jun, "Ling Zhou didn't lie to you. If you feed the monster with blood, your bones and blood will blend together. You will have a symbiotic relationship. If you die, it will die too, but if it dies, you won't die."

This method is similar to the contract in their world.

However, the monsters are arrogant and will not willingly be enslaved. Such unequal contracts are extremely insulting shackles for them.

Su Jun was extremely lucky to get a monster egg that had not yet hatched.

"So feeding it with blood is beneficial and harmless?"

Su Jun continued with his actions, filling the bottle and taking out a bigger one.

"That's right"

That's worth a try. Su Jun collected enough morning dew to feed the eggs on the way and returned to the camp.

The place where they were stationed was very close to the cave where the monster was killed. It was surrounded by rubble that fell from the top of the cliff, which could block the cold wind from the mountain at night.

"Click"

There was a crisp sound under his feet. Su Jun moved his feet and looked down. It was a shriveled vine.

He thought to himself that something was not right and quickly climbed up the cliff. Ling Zhou's eyes were open, but there was no life in them. His body was covered with purple lines that moved under his skin like moving insects.

Su Jun ignored Ling Zhou and looked for the monster eggs first.

After searching for a while, he finally found the dusty and gray egg in a pile of rubble. Su Jun quickly walked over and wiped it clean with his sleeve, but it still did not return to its original color.

The egg trembled slightly in his hand and threw itself into his arms with force. Su Jun loosened his hand, and the egg fell into his arms as he wished, making a slight squeak of grievance, as if accusing himself of leaving it here.
