Jiang Huan glanced at him with a puzzled look.

Her SIM card had two numbers: one was a virtual number created by herself, and the other was her real number.

She usually gives others virtual numbers; her real number is used for private matters. But the caller today is from that real number.

She has never given this number to anyone else, so who is calling?

After watching the number flash once, Jiang Huan decided to answer, "Hello."

"Is this... Miss Jiang Wu?"

"No." Jiang Huan lowered her voice and frowned slightly.

Has my phone number been leaked?

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before the voice said, "Please tell Miss Wu that I have a deal I'd like to make with her. If she's willing, we'll meet at the 31 Cafe tomorrow at noon. I'll be wearing a white suit with a red rose pinned to my chest."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Jiang Huan's reply.

Who is it?

A deal?

Now that they've found this number, they must have investigated other things, maybe even her recovery.

So no matter who she's dealing with at this coffee shop, she has to go there.

"Let's go home, to the house over there."

After saying that, Jiang Huan left first, followed by Butler Wang.

The two returned to the Jiang residence one after the other.

Butler Wang easily sent the guards away, because the guards only listened to the old man and Butler Wang, and the old man had previously instructed that Butler Wang's orders were his orders.

After making sure they wouldn't be discovered, Butler Wang went to the garden to meet Jiang Huan and head towards the woods.

After a while.

The two arrived in front of the house.

With Butler Wang leading the way, Jiang Huan did not touch the alarm again.

The dog waiting outside lay still after smelling the familiar scent, and Jiang Huan was unaware of its presence.

There were hidden mechanisms inside the house, which Butler Wang skillfully opened, leading to an extremely cold cellar.

When the cellar door was opened, a wave of heat hit us.

Jiang Huan saw something that made her blood boil.

"This... is what Grandpa tried so hard to hide?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little fire fox in the pet space seemed to smell a familiar scent, came out of the space, and landed on her shoulder.

"Yes...!" Butler Wang's eyes widened as he witnessed the little fire fox suddenly appear. "Fifth Miss, this..."

"This is Little Fire, my pet and battle partner."

The little fox didn't like the word 'pet' to begin with, and it didn't want to be a human's pet. However, after hearing the word 'partner,' it felt much better and didn't squeak or protest.

Butler Wang exclaimed in surprise, "So, not only can Fifth Miss cultivate, but she can also control beasts... Excellent! Fifth Miss's future is definitely limitless! Fifth Miss, be careful, this giant egg is very hot, don't get so close..."

"I'll be fine. Tell me about this egg." Jiang Huan walked over, circled the platform once, and then stopped.

In front of her was a giant red egg, almost as tall as her.

The eggshell is covered with eerie runes that flow with red light, and if you get close, it will continuously radiate heat.

No wonder this egg was placed in the cold cellar; if it had been placed elsewhere, the heat would have been noticed.

Ordinary people might not notice it, but anyone who cultivates will definitely know that this is undoubtedly a dangerous situation for the Jiang family.

Seeing that she was completely unaffected, Butler Wang nodded and said excitedly, "After the old master obtained those six beads, he found this egg not far from them. At the time, the old master didn't make a fuss, but tried to cover the egg up. Only later did he find a trusted person to transport the giant egg back to the Jiang family. The only people who know about this are me, the old master, and a few trusted confidants. Over the years, the old master has also investigated this giant egg, but he doesn't know its origin."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan seemed to understand something. "So, Grandpa hasn't been able to find anything about this giant egg all these years?"

“Yes.” Butler Wang nodded. “The old man even spent money to ask some cultivators for advice, but they all ignored him.”

Jiang Huan remained silent after hearing this.

Those who cultivate are busy with their cultivation and have long since become indifferent to money. If Grandpa asks this question, people certainly won't waste their time helping to investigate.

However, this egg... should be of the fire element.

The closer you get, the hotter it gets.

If it weren't for her cultivation of fire-attribute techniques and the protective magic treasures given to her by her master, she probably wouldn't have been able to withstand such close-range temperatures.

Just then, the little fire fox suddenly jumped from her shoulder onto the giant egg.

"What's wrong, Xiao Huo?" Jiang Huan looked up.

"I'll give it a try."

The little red fox lay on its four limbs on the eggshell, opened its mouth, and spewed out dazzling lava.

Jiang Huan: "..."

So, even a small fire can spew lava!

After that, will anyone still need her to take action? They can just have Little Fire spew lava at the opponent, and it'll burn them one by one!

Butler Wang watched from the side, constantly wiping sweat from his brow with his sleeve.

It was already unbearably hot just getting close to here, and now with the lava spewing from the small fire pit, the temperature of the entire cellar is almost boiling.

"Fifth Miss... how about I go outside and wait for you? It's just too hot..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan raised her hand, and a red lotus barrier enveloped Steward Wang.

In that instant, the intense heat surrounding Butler Wang disappeared, and the flush on his face gradually faded.

"Thank you, Miss Fifth."

Now he doesn't have to worry about staying here anymore.

No wonder the Fifth Miss wasn't afraid of the heat wave from that giant egg; it turns out she has a protective technique.

After waiting for a while, Little Fire, exhausted, stuck out its tongue and lay on the giant egg. "No, it's no use."

It was practically vomiting bile, but the giant egg was completely unaffected!

Looking at the giant egg, Jiang Huan looked thoughtful.

Even a small flame of lava couldn't elicit any reaction from this giant egg, so how could we possibly explore its interior?

Could it be... that I need to find my master?

No, that won't do. She can't always rely on her master; she has to walk her own path in the future!

Thinking of this, she tried to input a wisp of her true energy to see if it could trigger a reaction from the giant egg.

As expected, after she channeled her inner energy, the giant egg reacted for the first time, its flashing light becoming faster and its color more vibrant.

"Fifth Miss!" Butler Wang exclaimed with delight, "The egg is reacting..."

"I know." Jiang Huan remained expressionless, but was inwardly shocked.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but the moment she channeled her inner energy, she seemed to hear a low growl, though she couldn't quite place what kind of animal it was.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Huan once again channeled his true energy into the giant egg.

Once the true energy entered the giant egg, it vanished without a trace, indicating that the giant egg absorbs true energy.

But the internal energy within her body is also limited...

Or perhaps we could take the giant egg to Mount Jinpeng?

However, before that, she would try again to see if she could use her divine sense to investigate what was inside.

Then, while injecting her true energy, she activated her divine sense.
