Chapter 54: Egg Hatching
Chapter 54: Egg Hatching
"I declare that the winner this time is Yuman Peak's disciple - Ouyang Qian!"
The game is declared over.
The other man who was knocked to the ground had a pair of eyes full of dissatisfaction and pounded the floor of the ring with his hands.
spat.
As expected, he is the male lead and he is quite capable. Gu Chufu watched with great interest and memorized every move of the male lead.
It’s good for her that the male protagonist goes to the ring first.
This way, you can analyze his moves in advance, go back and study them, and break them down one by one.
Ouyang Qian was very proud and bowed to the elders in the audience one by one.
The one who smiled the most among them was naturally the elder of Yuman Peak, Zekun Jun.
"How is my new disciple? Is he good?"
Elder Zhiyan, who was sitting next to Elder Zekun, immediately understood what Zekun meant and nodded frequently, flattering him.
"Alas, that is a rare talent!"
"I wish I had a disciple with such good qualifications - Zekun, you are lucky this time."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries.
"Tsk - business bragging."
Gu Chufu muttered quietly. It was a noisy place and no one paid attention to her. She crossed her legs with disdain. Gu Chufu rolled her eyes at the two elders who had insulted her in the morning and continued to eat melon seeds.
Scanning the crowd one by one, Ouyang Qian did not care about his master's praise for him. He knew that he was talented and intelligent, and it was only a matter of time before he won the competition for new disciples.
Finally, his gaze stopped at Shen Jingjun, who was like the breeze and the bright moon. His white and slender fingers were holding a cup of tea. He looked calm and steady, but without the air of a veteran preacher.
Their eyes met.
However, Shen Jingjun's eyes were not friendly. Ouyang Qian felt a chill on his spine, and a tingling electric current seemed to run up his back.
He licked the corners of his chapped lips.
For some reason, Shen Jingjun's eyes were filled with disgust. He had only met this fairy who seemed like a banished immortal a few times...but for some reason she was so annoying.
Did I do something wrong a few days ago?
Ouyang Qian was puzzled. Could it be that he had lost face in the inn that day and caused the fairy to misunderstand him?
Therefore, I think I am a fool...
But today's battle can prove that I am not a fool.
After winning the game, Ouyang Qian was only happy for a few seconds before he quickly became depressed.
It seems that the preliminary round is not enough. As long as I can make it to the finals, I can fight with the disciples of the elders of each peak of the Qiling Sect and win the game. This will prove that my strength is not that of a fool.
After the male protagonist won the game, Gu Chufu no longer paid much attention to what was happening on the stage. He lowered his head and poured himself a cup of tea.
This tea was brought by Shen Jingjun himself. It has a sweet fragrance and is neither astringent nor bitter at first, but has a sweet aftertaste. Gu Chufu didn't like drinking tea very much before, but now he thinks it is very good.
Naturally, no one saw Ouyang Qian stepping down in a daze.
Instead, Shen Jingjun felt a little annoyed that he had not controlled his emotions just now, and turned his head to glance at Gu Chufu.
I saw this heartless little girl, still fiddling with the teacup with her head down, picking up a piece of cake with her fingertips and chewing it.
Well, I hope she is just worrying too much.
"Senior sister, what are you looking at? Is there a melon seed shell on my face?"
Gu Chufu met Shen Jingjun's eyes and subconsciously touched his cheek, but felt nothing.
"No……."
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Shen Jingjun took out a book from the ring on his finger and handed it to Gu Chufu.
"A complete guide to hatching eggs for spirit pets?"
“There is actually such a thing.”
Gu Chufu took it immediately, turned the pages with his fingers, and glanced at it. He saw that the hatching conditions for all kinds of strange and bizarre egg-dwelling pets were clearly written below.
"Take it."
"This belongs to the Pavilion of All Beasts and is not for sale."
Needless to say, Gu Chufu also knew that this was a rare and good thing. Just now she was still thinking about saying that she was eating eggs, and she could even say it out loud.
If you hatch eggs, it would be like... a blind man crossing the river, with no vision at all.
"I'm really sleepy now. Senior sister, please pass me a pillow. Thank you, senior sister."
"Senior sister is the best to me~"
Gu Chufu started reading immediately, which saved her the trouble of going to the library to look for books herself. It must be said that the heroine was really thoughtful.
It's really different.
In the past, whenever there was a beast taming class, Gu Chufu never came. He either had a stomachache or felt unwell, and made all kinds of excuses.
No matter what, they just refused to come to the beast taming class. Some people even found their own spirit pets, but Gu Chufu still had nothing.
Shen Jingjun had been curious before, but Gu Chufu got annoyed when she saw her, and the two of them would start arguing before they could say a word, so Shen Jingjun was too lazy to intervene.
This time, he gave her an ordinary red flame bird egg, but what was precious was that he actually saw a long-lost sincere smile on Gu Chufu's face.
Shen Jingjun was also startled. Such a genuine smile. She had only seen it when Gu Chufu smiled at his master before, but she... had always only been treated coldly by Gu Chufu.
But now she actually smiled at herself sincerely.
Shen Jingjun's hair was blown by the wind. Gu Chufu stretched out his fingers and moved a little closer, hooked up the black hair that fell on Shen Jingjun's temples, and tucked it behind his ears.
"Senior sister, concentrate on watching the game."
"Those old guys will scold you later."
"Ah."
It was rare that she cared about him so much. Shen Jingjun turned his head and continued watching the game on the stage.
Gu Chufu was flipping through the egg hatching encyclopedia in his hand. The biological knowledge he had learned flooded into his mind, but it was of no use.
After all, that's what the book says at the beginning.
"The temperature must be kept extremely high every day, with one to three pieces of fire stone laid underneath, and pebbles are the most suitable for building a nest."
Sure enough, this is a world of cultivating immortals.
We can't look at it from the perspective of modern people. Using stones to build a nest... Well, I have to go to the sect's Chamber of Commerce tomorrow to see if there are any flaming stones for sale.
Pebbles... There are pebbles in the stream in Red Maple Peak. When she has time, she will go to the river to pick out a few good-sized and good-looking ones to use as a nest for the future little phoenix.
Gu Chufu had been there before. He saw that the koi in the stream were fed by someone, but they were so fat. Judging from the food they ate, they must have eaten a lot every day.
"I haven't started to hatch this egg yet... I have been sealing it with my spiritual power. Since you are interested, I will accompany you tonight."
"Because you might get into trouble again by yourself."
Today's competition is drawing to a close, and the errand disciples on the stage have begun to tidy up the ring and clean up the traces left by the fight.
Move the tables, chairs and utensils back to the sect’s utility room.
Shen Jingjun and Gu Chufu walked side by side on the way to the sect's Chamber of Commerce. Most of the people here were disciples of the sect doing business, and there was also the sect's official sales office for buying some basic necessities.
There is no more.
