Chapter 500 Extra: Old Man Shen Gets a Head Full of Bumps from Hitting the Dragon Egg

After Qiao Qiao molted into an egg, things were alright on the Qiao family's side, as most of the Qiao family members knew about Qiao Qiao's situation.

However, the situation with Old Master Shen and the Yan family is uncertain.

Shen Qingyan and Yan Liti had no choice but to make it appear that Qiao Qiao had been staying with the Qiao family and had not returned to the capital.

However, this facade was able to deceive the Yan family members because no one in the Yan family investigated further, and they would not come to the castle casually unless Yan Liti invited them.

But it wasn't of much use to Old Master Shen.

Yan Liti had already filed for divorce from Old Master Shen, but he refused to sign the papers, so Yan Liti could only wait for the court to issue a ruling.

However, this judgment requires some factual basis.

For example, one requirement is to provide proof that the two people have been separated for two years since the divorce was filed and that there is no affection between them.

It has only been about six months since Yan Liti filed for divorce.

Therefore, the divorce decree cannot be issued for the time being.

Grandpa Shen also misses his granddaughter, but Yan Liti and Shen Qingyan won't let him see her, and he can't even enter the castle.

Having no other option, he had to find another way, hiring professionals to take photos of Qiao Qiao when she occasionally went out.

However, he hasn't received any more photos of Qiao Qiao since June or July.

His granddaughter seemed to have vanished from the world at once.

There is none in Qiaojia Village, nor in Kyoto.

This is clearly abnormal.

Old Master Shen had no choice but to pick a day and, swallowing his pride, personally go to the castle to inquire about the situation.

On the day he arrived at the castle, Yan Liti happened to be with the giant tortoise, carrying the dragon egg on its back, taking a walk outside to bask in the sun and supplementing the dragon egg with calcium.

Hearing the maid's words, Yan Liti was extremely disgusted and waved her hand, saying, "No, no, tell him to go back to where he came from!"

Old Master Shen was naturally unwilling to leave easily.

He sat in his wheelchair, guarding the castle gate.

Yan Liti originally didn't want to interfere and let him guard the place, but she was afraid that if he stayed there, it would attract attention and bring bad influence to her family.

The area around Yanlidi Castle used to be mostly uninhabited, but development has begun in the area this year.

With cars coming and going every day, the number of people has increased significantly compared to before.

She could only go over and talk to people.

Yan Liti and Grandpa Shen were talking at the door.

"I told you, the baby's fine, she's fine! Why can't you make sense, you old fool!" Yan Liti was getting more and more annoyed as she talked.

"Then why hasn't she come out lately?" Old Master Shen was still a little skeptical, and couldn't help but recall the time when they were in Nan Zong Mountain, when the little girl was getting shorter and shorter.

Of course, there's also the fact that her brain is prone to bubbling up.

"If she doesn't want to go out, then she doesn't have to. She's fine, you don't need to worry about her. Don't bother her anymore!" After saying this, Yan Liti turned and left.

After watching her leave, the old man Shen closed the door, looking dejected, knowing he probably wouldn't be able to get in today.

When Wei Xingzhi saw this, he asked him, "Old Chief, are we going back?"

Grandpa Shen waved his hand at him: "You go back to the car first, I'll drive around the area."

What Grandpa Shen meant was that he wanted to walk around the wall for a while with his cane, hoping to see the little girl playing outside through the gaps in the wall.

Grandpa Shen's leg injury has been improving recently. Wei Xingzhi knew that he could walk independently with crutches for a while, so he didn't say anything and turned back to the car to wait.

Grandpa Shen then leaned on his cane and actually started walking around the wall.

The castle is surrounded by a semi-concealed brick wall with latticed windows. The gaps in the brick wall are quite large, so if you get close, you can see everything inside the courtyard clearly.

Grandpa Shen finally stopped in front of a square brick seam, about the size of two adult male fists. Like a thief, he first turned his head and looked around to make sure no one was nearby before he put his big head in the seam.

During the process of stuffing it in, it happened to come into contact with a dragon egg inside the flower wall, which was kicking a small ball with a big tortoise.

"???" Old Master Shen.

Is he blind?

Otherwise, how could you see a turtle and an egg playing football?

"???" A dragon egg.

Where did this thief come from?!

The dragon egg bounced three times on the ground like a small ball, then jumped up and gave Old Master Shen a few sharp raps on the head.

Before Grandpa Shen could recover from the incredible sight of an egg and a turtle kicking a small ball, he saw the egg rushing towards him.

He kept banging his head back and forth.

He was hit so hard that he felt dizzy and couldn't care about anything else. He just grabbed his head and ran around frantically.

When Yan Liti, inside the castle, and Wei Xingzhi, in the car outside, heard Old Master Shen's screams and rushed over, Old Master Shen was already squatting by the wall, holding his head, unable to make a sound.

Only the bumps all over his head showed how miserable he was at that moment.

The dragon egg had already jumped back inside the wall when Wei Xingzhi ran over, and was now a normal egg.

"Commander? Who attacked you?!" Wei Xingzhi was both shocked and furious.

He helped up Old Master Shen, whose forehead was swollen with a large bump, while glancing around several times.

But apart from the large tortoise carrying an egg in the yard, no suspects were seen.

Yan Liti glanced at the rather pitiful state of Old Master Shen, her eyes darting around.

He walked over and, without making a sound, pulled the egg that had caused the man so many bumps on his head into his arms.

He even feigned concern and asked Old Master Shen, "Are you alright?"

Grandpa Shen's head was throbbing with pain.

But he did not lose his ability to think.

Seeing Yan Liti's series of actions reminded me of the series of strange phenomena I had seen on my granddaughter's forehead.

I had a vague answer in my mind.

But he wasn't sure.

After all, it's truly incredible that a person could turn into an egg.

For the foreseeable future, Mr. Shen could only report to the castle's outer wall every day.

Gradually, he became certain.

His granddaughter really did turn into an egg!

Or perhaps it's determined that he's a scoundrel, and upon seeing him, it'll jump up and start banging his head until he's covered in balls!

Even so.

In the days that followed, Grandpa Shen continued to come to the castle every day, rain or shine, to check on the eggs.

Even though he could never get into the castle and could only wander around the walls, getting hit on the head by eggs that would occasionally appear, he still enjoyed it immensely.

He felt that this was probably a way for his granddaughter to acknowledge and like him; otherwise, why would she only tap his head and not Wei Xingzhi's?

Looking at Old Master Shen, whose head was covered in bumps that hadn't healed even for a day, Wei Xingzhi said: "Whatever makes you happy."

—The End—
