Chapter 425 Daddy's going to hatch you!

The biggest problem now is, isn't it that she'll turn into an egg someday?!

Are you kidding me!

"How do you know all this? Even Xiao Yuan doesn't know." At this moment, Xiao Yuan, who was above Qiao Qiao's head, interjected quietly, his tone full of displeasure.

[Of course I know! You are the consciousness that your master was reborn into in this life. I am Little Huanhuan, who cultivated alongside your master and is your master's favorite spirit pet.]

As the giant tortoise spoke, it raised its fleshy claws and stomped them twice, glancing sideways at Xiao Yuan with an air of arrogance.

"You also know that I was reborn?" Qiao Qiao grasped the key point.

Actually, she had always wanted to ask the big turtle about its origins. Many times, she felt that it seemed to know everything, even more than Xiao Yuan.

However, they never found a good opportunity.

Or maybe you just forgot about it.

[Yes, Master is in his third incarnation now.]

"Anything else?"

[As for the rest, Xiao Huanhuan can't say. Master, if I told you, it would hinder your cultivation, and might even cause you to... Anyway, Master, don't worry, Xiao Huanhuan will always be by your side.]

The giant tortoise wanted to tell Qiao Qiao everything at once.

However, given Qiao Qiao's untimely death in her previous life, it dared not interfere with her tribulation, otherwise revealing heavenly secrets would only increase the difficulty of her tribulation.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao did not ask any further questions.

She assumed that, just as the laws of the world had governed her before, this giant tortoise was now in the same situation, governed by the laws of the world and unable to speak of certain things from the past.

So I didn't force it to answer.

But she asked another crucial question: "When will I transform into... an egg?"

[This depends on your cultivation level. You will transform into a dragon egg when you reach the Golden Core stage.]

[For those with good aptitude, it generally takes about five or six years; for those with less aptitude, it could take ten, twenty, or even thirty years.]

[Master has good aptitude, but the spiritual energy in this world is scarce, which is not conducive to master's cultivation. One can only proceed slowly.]

"That's the same as not saying anything at all," Qiao Qiao pouted.

However, once she learned that her shrinking height wasn't due to some strange illness, but rather a normal phenomenon caused by spiritual energy, she wasn't so worried anymore.

As for turning into an egg or something.

She wasn't afraid at all.

She believed that even if she really turned into an egg, her father would carefully put her in his pocket and slowly incubate her.

Qiao Qiao trusted Qiao Changdong that much.

That night, Qiao Qiao told her two fathers and Yan Liti about the situation alone.

The three adults listened, completely bewildered.

Yan Liti looked surprised: "Does that mean, baby, you'll turn into a dragon baby in the future?"

Qiao Qiao nodded: "Xiao Huanhuan said that when I hatch, I will be a little dragon, and my mother is a dragon."

Dragons exist only in mythology in the Flower Kingdom.

However, they are a real race that exists in the cultivation world.

Qiao Qiao was amazed at the thought that she could one day become a dragon.

The two fathers reacted very differently.

It can be said to be the complete opposite.

After the initial shock, Qiao Changdong was overjoyed and began to peck at Qiao Qiao's head like a woodpecker.

While chirping, he happily said, "That's wonderful, that's wonderful! When my darling really turns into an egg, Daddy will hold you in his arms every day, and Daddy will hatch you!!!"

Qiao Changdong's biggest regret in his life was that he could neither give birth to Qiaoqiao himself nor had any blood relation with her.

Now that an opportunity to personally incubate his daughter's womb has been presented to him, Qiao Changdong is naturally overjoyed.

Shen Qingyan's face turned slightly pale.

His daughter wasn't particularly close to him to begin with, and she clearly preferred Qiao Changdong as her father. He was only able to stay by her side because of their blood relation.

Does the purity of this bloodline mean expelling the portion of his bloodline from her body?

Then, at that time, wouldn't he be nothing to his daughter?

"What's wrong with you?" Qiao Changdong, who had transformed from a woodpecker back into a human, noticed the strange expression on Shen Qingyan's face and nudged him with his shoulder.

Shen Qingyan ignored him and looked at his daughter, who was looking at him with worry because of Qiao Changdong's problem. He forced himself to be cheerful and said, "It's okay. Dad was just too worried about you. Now that I see you're alright, I'm very happy for you."

That's what they say, but Shen Qingyan's mood was clearly off that night.

He shared a room with Qiao Qiao and Qiao Changdong, but Qiao Qiao and Qiao Changdong slept in the same bed.

He and the giant tortoise slept side by side on the bed.

Shen Qingyan tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep. Finally, she got up and quietly left the room.

"I told you you weren't decisive enough. You call yourself a high-ranking official? I guess you and your daughter's mother broke up like this back then, didn't you?" Qiao Changdong, who followed him out, found the person on the balcony. As soon as he found him, he mocked him without any politeness.

Shen Qingyan leaned against the balcony railing, and upon hearing Qiao Changdong's words, he did not turn around to acknowledge him.

When Qiao Changdong saw him like this, he immediately decided to go back and continue sleeping with his precious daughter.

However, as soon as he turned around, he heard someone behind him speak.

The tone was more sour and bitter than ever before.

“You are not me. She cares about you so much that she would take your soul with her when you die. Of course you don’t need to be afraid.”

During the months she spent with her daughter, Shen Qingyan could see better than anyone how much Qiao Qiao cared about Qiao Changdong.

The level of concern was so high that if someone else frowned at Qiao Changdong, the girl would instinctively become protective of him.

And what about him?

What does that count for?

They were originally a father and daughter who could only be close because of their blood ties.

He dared not imagine whether she would even glance at him again if they were no longer related by blood.

Shen Qingyan never told anyone that because his body had been modified by Long Yijun, although his hearing was not as good as Qiao Qiao's, he could still hear clearly at a distance of about fifty meters.

Therefore, he heard his daughter tell Qiao Changdong more than once that she wanted to guide him in cultivation.

When her mother comes looking for her, she will take him with her. Even if Qiao Changdong dies, she will put his soul into her bracelet space and take it with her.

But she never said any of these things to him.

As for him, I guess he was just passively accepted as a father because he had no other choice.

Hearing Shen Qingyan's sarcastic words, Qiao Changdong fell silent.

He never expected that Shen Qingyan would overhear these things.
