Chapter 501 Side Story: The Dragon Egg Dispute (1)

After Qiao Qiao molted into an egg, she did not return to Hongfeng Town, but was taken to the capital by Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan.

Upon learning this, Yan Liti went to Kyoto without hesitation.

When Qiao Changdong, Shen Qingyan, Meng Zhengcheng, and Pei Yuanfan arrived in Kyoto, Yan Liti was already waiting for them in the castle.

When Qiao Changdong carefully placed the egg on the princess bed in Qiao Qiao's room, Yan Liti squatted down beside the bed and stared at it intently.

His eyes were wide open.

After staring at it for several minutes, she seemed to suddenly come to her senses, smiled, and reached out to stroke the eggshell.

She said dreamily, "As expected of my granddaughter, even as an egg, she is unbelievably beautiful."

Yan Liti's statement is not based on a biased view of breastfeeding, but is the truth.

The dragon egg that Qiao Qiao transformed into was white overall, but with a faint hint of greenish-blue in it, a fluorescent green, faint and not very intense.

This made the whole egg seem to be glowing.

It is indeed very beautiful.

The only pity is that this beautiful egg has not yet regained consciousness.

It's just like an ordinary egg, quietly existing every day, neither eating nor drinking, and giving no reaction to anything or anyone in the outside world.

However, the natural sense of closeness and the giant tortoise's unwavering loyalty made Yan Liti and the others realize that this was Qiao Qiao.

Pei Anting and Meng Zhengcheng stayed at the castle for about two days. After confirming that Qiao Qiao was alright, they set off back.

One of them is the head of a police station, and the other is the deputy head of a police station. Even when they are on business trips, they cannot stay away from home for too long.

By the end of June or the beginning of July.

During summer vacation.

The Qiao family, including Grandma Qiao, Fang Zhengnan, Mo Wenpei, the four Qiao boys, Meng Zihuan, Fu Yu, Xiang Dongyan, Pei Yiyang, and Pei Yuanfan, all rushed to Baoyi City on the night they finished their exams and boarded the train to Kyoto overnight.

The boys were all amazed and incredulous as they looked at the dragon egg that Qiao Qiao had hatched.

"Is this really Qiaoqiao? You're not trying to fool me again, are you?"

Pei Yuanfan was shocked and still couldn't believe that a person could really turn into an egg.

Pei Yuanfan still can't see the bubbles on Qiao Qiao's head. The most he can see are the two small bumps on Qiao Qiao's forehead before she transformed.

Those are said to be dragon horns.

But for Pei Yuanfan, the idea of ​​a living person turning into an egg was truly an incredibly incredible thing.

The other boys didn't say anything, not because they didn't believe it, but because they found it unbelievable.

Qiao Hai has always been the one who's a bit dim-witted.

After he saw the egg, he kept greeting it, but the egg didn't react at all.

He turned to Qiao Changdong and asked, "Uncle, why isn't my sister reacting? Did you pick up the wrong egg?"

"..." Qiao Changdong.

"You silly boy, what nonsense are you spouting!" Fang Zhengnan said, slapping his son's forehead in exasperation. "Try to feel it for yourself. What do you feel when you see this egg?"

How does it feel?

Qiao Hai rubbed his head, which was sore from being slapped.

After hesitating for a while, he said with a hint of uncertainty, "This egg is... so big?"

After saying that, he muttered to himself, "These are much bigger than wild eggs. One of them is probably worth a hundred wild eggs. If we roasted them, we could probably eat them for several meals..."

"Clap clap clap!"

"Slap slap slap!!"

"Slap slap slap!!!"

Before the dim-witted Qiao Hai could finish his sentence, countless hands reached out from all around him and started slapping him on the forehead.

Like bouncing a ball, they patted his head.

Qiao Hai was covered in tears, howling and running around the room.

"Good boy, don't listen to that kid's nonsense. Aunt Xiang knows you're a good boy."

Xiang Dongyan reached out and lovingly stroked the eggshell, gently comforting the dinosaur egg, worried that it might be unhappy after hearing what Pei Yuanfan and Qiao Hai had just said.

Indeed, aside from a few unreliable kids, everyone felt a natural affinity for the dragon egg.

That feeling was the same as with Qiao Qiao.

Therefore, everyone firmly believed that this was the dragon egg that Qiao Qiao had molted out, and they had a natural fondness for dragon eggs.

Several women gathered around the dragon egg, admiring it for quite a while.

It wasn't until Yan Liti came over and called everyone, "Alright, the food is ready. Everyone go and eat first, then get a good night's sleep, and we'll have a proper celebration tonight."

The women were indeed not as resilient as the men. After such a long train ride, they were still full of energy. Upon hearing this, they all got up and went to the living room to eat.

The boys were reluctant to leave, but they all turned back every few steps as they went.

Among the crowd, only two people remained motionless.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, Suisui, aren't you going to eat?" Yan Liti looked at the two of them in confusion.

"Grandma Yan, I'll stay with Qiaoqiao a little longer," Pei Yiyang said with a gentle smile.

His gaze never left the egg on the bed. He reached out to touch the shell, but as his hand moved, he met the eyes of the little boy sitting on the other side of the dragon egg.

The other party clearly also wanted to touch the dragon egg.

His facial expressions and movements were even identical to his.

Their eyes met, then they looked away.

"Grandma Yan, I also want to stay with my sister a little longer," Fu Yu said with a sweet smile.

"Alright, you all stay here and keep watch. Grandma Yan will come and relieve you after she finishes eating." Yan Liti didn't say much more.

Before they arrived, she had Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan, who were already taking turns looking after the dragon egg.

This morning, Shen Qingyan went out, and Qiao Changdong went to have lunch with the Qiao family. Originally, she was the one who came to guard the dragon egg.

After Yan Liti left, there were two boys, one big and one small.

A hand landed gently on the tip of the eggshell.

A hand landed tentatively in the middle of the eggshell.

But no matter what complex emotions they were experiencing, their hands were gentle and careful as they touched the eggshell.

Both of them actually had a lot to say to Qiao Qiao, but with another person present, they could only touch the dragon egg.

It wasn't until later, when they were halfway through their meal, that Qiao Hai and Meng Zihuan came over, each carrying a bowl of rice, that Fu Yu got up to leave.

After Fu Yu left, Meng Zihuan still had a meatball in his hand, eagerly wanting to feed it to Long Dan.

However, the eggshell was sealed, and he had nowhere to put the meatball in his hand. After circling the dragon egg twice, he tried to put it on top of the eggshell, but Pei Yiyang stopped him with his hand.

"Xiao Huan, Qiao Qiao can't eat anything yet."

Pei Yiyang spoke gently and still had a smile on his face, but for some reason, it made Meng Zihuan feel a little flustered.

He explained anxiously, "These meatballs are delicious. Grandma Yan said they're called braised lion's head meatballs. I also think my sister is a dragon, and dragons should eat lions."
