Han Yuan hadn't eaten or drunk anything for a whole day, so one could imagine how empty his stomach was. When he saw the nearly two-foot-tall egg, he instinctively swallowed his saliva and asked hungrily, "What...what is this?"

"I don't know." Yan Zhengming took a half step back and glanced at Han Yuan warningly, "Don't move! Don't touch anything in the Monster Valley. Wipe your drool. Let's go back quickly. Master is waiting anxiously."

It was indeed getting dark, and the Demon Valley was full of dangers. The return trip would be even more dangerous than the trip here, without the wooden sign with Lord Bei Ming attached to it to protect them.

No one dared to delay and walked back along the way they came. Even Han Yuan, the noisiest one, did not say a word.

People in the underworld value loyalty the most, and he will always remember the kindness of his senior brothers.

When the egg saw that they were about to leave, it still refused to give up. It tried hard to avoid the stones and hard objects on the ground. It overcame many difficulties, rolled itself into an egg whirlwind, and chased them relentlessly.

Li Yun looked back and asked doubtfully, "What kind of monster egg is this? What does it want to do by following us?"

Cheng Qian held the big fang of the bear demon and said coldly, "Maybe he wants to turn into a boiled egg."

It was not known whether Dan Xuanfeng understood what people said or sensed the malice in his words. He shuddered on the spot, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around reluctantly, carefully avoiding Cheng Qian and others, and rolled to Yan Zhengming's feet, lying motionless pitifully.

Yan Zhengming paused, and at first walked away with a heartless attitude. But after he took a few steps, he couldn't help but look back. Somehow, he saw deep disappointment and pitiful look on the smooth eggshell of the egg.

So Master Yan stopped again for some unknown reason. After hesitating for a moment, he pointed at Han Yuan and said, "You go...well, pick it up."

Han Yuan asked back with a straight face, "Ah? Didn't you just tell me not to touch you?"

Li Yun also asked curiously: "Big Brother, why?"

How to answer this question?

Yan Zhengming frowned. He couldn't say that he felt sorry for the egg, right?

At that moment, he suddenly had an idea and made up a serious excuse, saying, "Didn't that Zi Peng Zhenren ask us to give her the things on the Linxiantai? It is said that demon cultivators cannot go up to the Linxiantai. I guess she actually doesn't know what's on the stage, so I'll use this to fool her."

Several people were exhausted after the journey and had long forgotten about how they had fooled Master Zi Peng. They only remembered it when he mentioned it and agreed with his statement.

But they all felt that the eldest senior brother, who was not very smart, was a little unusually meticulous this time.

Oddly enough, although there was no Bei Ming Jun to escort them on the return journey, it was actually quieter than the way there. The few people were nervous for a long time, and only encountered a few incomplete little monsters along the way. They came and went in a hurry, and after a false alarm, they successfully returned to the cave of Master Zi Peng.

The giant bird was still lying face down in the original place of the cave, but the woman floating above its head was nowhere to be seen. For a moment, it was unsure whether she was asleep or dead.

Yan Zhengming turned around and gestured to his fellow disciples to keep quiet, then cautiously stepped forward to investigate. Selfishly, he hoped that Master Zi Peng would voluntarily die and not cause them any more trouble, but he also knew that the possibility of this happening by chance was slim.

Suddenly, he heard a "crack" behind him. Several people were all panicked. After looking around, their eyes fell on Han Yuan... The indomitable egg in his arms, only to see cracks appear on the eggshell, spreading from the top to the sides.

Finally, a piece of eggshell fell from the center of the crack. Han Yuan widened his eyes and saw that what sticking out of the egg was not a bird's beak, but a hand.

A baby's hand.

Han Yuan hurriedly put the egg on the ground. In front of the monster behind him, who was unknown whether dead or alive, several people were stunned to see a baby crawling out of the egg.

That thing was a lump of flesh, and at first glance seemed no different from an ordinary mortal baby, except that it looked like a mortal baby one year old when it was born, and had two faint birthmarks on its back.

Han Yuan stretched out his muddy claws and poked the egg-born baby twice. He looked in a place he shouldn't have looked at and said inappropriately, "Okay, it looks like a girl."

The baby fell flat on her face after being poked by him. Her limbs slid around and she found that she was not as able to move as freely as when she was in the egg. She was filled with sorrow and hatred and let out a howl.

This howl was not a big deal, the entire cave of Master Zi Peng began to tremble.

Han Yuan, who was closest to her, sat down on the ground and asked in shock: "What on earth is this?"

A weak voice answered him: "That is the Sky Demon."

Immortal Zi Peng revealed his human face at some point, floating above the giant bird, as blurry as a ball of fog, his whole body exuding a half-dead and decadent look.

She seemed to have no extra energy to care about other people. She looked at the little girl on the ground with mixed feelings, then sighed and said softly: "This is the child of the Demon Queen and a mortal. She should have been executed when she was born. The Demon Queen was covered in human blood, endured the pain of thousands of cuts and thunder, and broke into the Linxiantai, placed it there, and then died on the stage. But it was born half-human and was not under the control of the Linxiantai. This egg has been motionless for a hundred years. Everyone thought it was a stillbirth. No one expected that the great calamity of the demon race would befall her in the end..."

Han Yuan felt dizzy after hearing this, but he grasped the key point accurately and asked in surprise, "What? The Demon King is being cheated on?"

Yan Zhengming said weakly: "Just shut up..."

Cheng Qian had already reacted - it turned out that they had accidentally brought out the so-called "thing" on the Linxian Terrace.

No wonder, the Demon King had his power taken away by the "Heavenly Demon Coming to the World", but he couldn't even get rid of her in advance, because demon cultivators could not go up to the Linxiantai.

But... who took her down from Linxiantai?

Lord Bei Ming?

Zi Peng said: "Bring her here, let me take a look."

Yan Zhengming immediately became alert: "What do you want to do?"

After saying this, he seemed to realize that his tone was too blunt, and quickly made amends: "Senior, this little hen was just born."

As soon as the little bastard of unknown species opened her voice, Yan Zhengming hurriedly dodged three meters away. He was very disgusted with her, but no matter how much he disliked her, he still didn't want to hand her over to Zi Peng - according to Master Zi Peng, this little bastard was a living cuckold on the head of His Majesty the Demon King, and Master Zi Peng was a general under the Demon King. Who knew what she was going to do to this little bastard?

No matter what this little bastard's background was, she was only born for a short moment and has done neither good nor bad things.

Since there is nothing good to judge, how can others decide her life or death at will?

Master Zi Peng had not expected to be resisted. His sickly figure became clearer, and he turned to Yan Zhengming angrily: "How dare you——"

Before she finished saying the word "dare", the stern voice of Master Zi Peng had frightened the little girl on the ground. She choked for a moment, then with a wrinkled face, she took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "Wow——"

The power of this shout was extraordinary. A more violent vibration than before came again. Rocks of all sizes fell from the top of her head. It seemed that Master Zi Peng’s cave was about to collapse because of her crying!

Yan Zhengming: "Go!"

Han Yuan listened and looked at the crying baby girl in front of him at a loss: "What should we do about this?"

Li Yun jumped three feet high to avoid a falling stone that nearly hit her foot. She danced with joy and said, "Take her away! She doesn't even have teeth, she definitely won't bite you!"

Han Yuan plucked up his courage and held the baby girl in his hands in a strange posture. It must have been more comfortable for the baby girl to lie on the ground than in his hands. The baby girl's screams became even more intense.

There was chaos in the flying sand and rocks, and Han Yuan tripped over the edge of his outer robe - the outer robe belonged to Li Yun. Li Yun was older than him and naturally much taller, and the edge of his robe was dragging on the ground.

Fortunately, Cheng Qian on the side was quick-witted and quick-handed. Before Han Yuan fell to the ground and crushed the baby girl to death, he grabbed one of the baby girl's legs and lifted her up upside down like pulling a carrot.

It turned out that the little demon was born unlucky. This unfortunate child was almost tortured to death by these people as soon as he was born.

Zi Peng Zhenren's angry voice was in the middle: "Where are you going!"

As he spoke, the giant bird that had collapsed to the ground, as if on the verge of death, suddenly regained its consciousness. The shadow of the woman on its head suddenly dissipated, and the giant bird stood up, raised a huge claw, and chopped down in mid-air.

Cheng Qian instinctively wanted to use the fang in his hand to carry it, but the fang was too big and too heavy. He could barely hold the little girl in one hand, and his other hand could not move his unwieldy weapon at all.

Only then did Cheng Qian regret having thrown the wooden sword next to the bear's corpse. He didn't even have time to change the baby girl's position and could only carry her back as far as he could.

The claws of the giant bird were so huge that they blocked out the sun and sky for him, making it impossible to avoid them. Even Li Yun could not produce half a bottle of the golden clam magic water.

He even felt that the sharp claws had already fallen on his head. Cheng Qian's scalp tightened and he felt that his life was over.

However, the expected severe pain did not come. Cheng Qian raised his head suddenly and was surprised to find that Master Zipeng's giant claw was blocked by a wooden sword.

The wooden sword was no more than two inches wide, and was what they usually used for practice. The hand holding the sword was skinny, with protruding tendons and bones all over the wrist.

Cheng Qian: "Master!"

He had never felt that Master Mu Chun's graceful figure was so majestic.

Master Mu Chun glanced at him and seemed to smile. He swept his eyes over his disciples who were in a mess but still lively, and hummed in his usual voice: "You guys...ah, go first, go back and wait for your master."

After saying that, he turned his wrist and deftly deflected the force of the giant palm that Zi Peng had slapped from mid-air to the side. With a loud "boom", the cave, which was already shaky in the wind and rain, shook three more times.

Cheng Qian hesitated for a moment, not wanting to leave, but Li Yun pushed him and whispered, "Master, can you beat that old hen? Go quickly and don't get in the way here."

This time, even the eldest senior brother did not refute. The four people plus a half-demon filed out of Master Zipeng's cave one after another, and returned to the other side of the cave along the long stone steps they had come from. When they climbed out of the pool, it was completely dark and the moon had climbed to the middle of the sky.

Cheng Qian released his hands that were covering the baby girl's mouth and nose in the water, put the young demon who was crying so hard that she was about to convulse aside, breathed a sigh of relief, and ended their mutual torture.

The four people all said nothing about going back. At this time, those with mysophobia didn't care about mysophobia, and those who were hungry didn't care about being hungry. They sat together in a disorderly manner by the pond in the mountain cave, waiting for Master Mu Chun.
