Chapter 129 - The Egg

Bai Rouyun's mind had turned completely blank. She looked at Li Moyun with her eyes wide open, and her mouth slightly pursed.

Her confused and dazed expression caused a low chuckle to escape Li Moyun's lips as he wrapped his arms around her waist and dragged her into his embrace.

"Do you want to recognize them as being your family?" he asked gently, and Bai Rouyun was silent for some time.

"I don't know," she sighed. She had been alone for so long; it was hard to adjust her mindset.

Initially, she had intended to live life for the sake of revenge, but after meeting Li Moyun, she had changed her goals in life. She wanted to improve and stand by his side. She had allowed for more people to get close to her, and she had opened her heart to them, but she could not say that she was comfortable about the Bai family who had appeared out of nowhere.

Li Moyun could sense her discomfort. He knew Bai Rouyun's personality, and could guess that the Bai family might have been slightly overbearing when contacting her. Otherwise she would not have such a negative impression of them.

However, they were her original body's flesh and blood, and it was natural that she had some complex emotions about them.

Even so, he did not want her to feel uncomfortable, and instead, he just held her close to his chest, allowing her to feel his warmth and the steady beating of his heart.

The heartbeat did indeed calm Bai Rouyun down as she was leaning against the sturdy chest. She felt relaxed and comfortable, and all her worries flew away.

She did not need the Bai family; all she needed was Li Moyun. He was her rock, her haven.

Sensing how Bai Rouyun was slowly getting her emotions under control, Li Moyun was feeling relieved. He had been worried when he saw her extraordinarily uncomfortable and lost, but now she was slowly returning to the person he knew - the confident Bai Rouyun.

Bai Rouyun slowly relaxed as she looked at Li Moyun. Her face was still pale, but a gentle smile hung on her lips.

"Thank you," she said, her words were heartfelt, and Li Moyun felt his heart melt into a puddle. She was simply too sweet.

"I need a bath," Bai Rouyun was finally aware that she had not washed after waking up and felt somewhat embarrassed, but Li Moyun just smiled gently. "I will make Little Chu bring some water," he said, but she shook her head.

"I will enter the Primal Chaos Dimension, the water in there will be able to replenish my energy."

Li Moyun nodded his head. He knew that the spiritual water in the Primal Chaos Dimension was different, so he said nothing as he saw her vanish into thin air in front of him.

As Bai Rouyun entered the Primal Chaos Dimension, she had expected it to be exactly like always, with Xiao Bao and Xiao Jin waiting for her. Still, the moment she arrived, she saw that they were running around, chasing the egg she had found during the Royal Hunting Feast.

She knew that something was living within the egg, but it had not moved at all during the time she had it in her hands. Now, it was suddenly moving within the dimension as if someone had put a fire to its tail.

Bai Rouyun was surprised. What on earth had caused this egg to act like this?

Xiao Bao noticed Bai Rouyun's entrance the moment she appeared, but he was in a bad mood. As the artifact spirit, he controlled everything within the Primal Chaos Dimension, but he could not control this egg, which showed how extraordinary it was.

"Give the egg to your man," he said, his voice sounding annoyed as he glanced at the small egg that kept throwing a tantrum.

The moment the egg heard Xiao Bao's words, it rushed to Bai Rouyun's side, where it swayed from side to side as if trying to look adorable.

Bai Rouyun was stunned. She pointed at the egg and looked at Xiao Bao in surprise. "It wants to meet Li Moyun?" she asked hesitatingly.

Xiao Bao nodded his head, and Bai Rouyun looked down on the egg. She had thought that there was something outstanding about her, which had caused the egg to be interested in her, but it seemed that it was, in fact, Li Moyun that it was attracted to.

Bai Rouyun did not feel jealous, but she was somewhat puzzled. "I will wash up, then we can meet Li Moyun," she said to the egg, and she could see how it spun around itself in happiness.

What a strange egg.

She shook her head in amusement and went to wash up. As soon as she was done, she changed into a white robe with blue cloud embroideries and picked up the egg before leaving the dimension.

As soon as she exited, she saw that Li Moyun was lying on her bed in a deep sleep.

Her eyes softened as tenderness erupted from deep within. Just as she was about to leave him to rest, the egg in her arms slipped out of her grip and bounced onto Li Moyun.

Looking at the speed with which the egg was moving, Bai Rouyun was shocked and scared. Was it going to crack? Or was Li Moyun going to have some bones broken?

Just as she thought a disaster would happen, Li Moyun opened his eyes and grabbed the egg, looking at it in confusion. However, the egg was almost purring in happiness, causing Bai Rouyun to laugh out loud.

The gentle, pearl-like laughter of Bai Rouyun caused Li Moyun to wake up and take a good look at the egg in his hands.
