The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1131 Even eggs can have difficult births.

The little paper figure said with pride, "Yes, we came from the Ghost Realm."

Just as the little paper doll was about to ask Xuan Chu why he needed to ask this, it saw that Xuan Chu had a 'thankful' expression on his face.

To teleport here from thousands of miles away, the cost is negligible for magical artifacts like paper dolls or powerful beings like dragon spirits.

However, for him and Yunran, who are made of flesh and blood, it would be necessary to use secret techniques, and being attacked by the backlash would be the least costly outcome.

Feeling the pain in his body that made it difficult to breathe, Xuan Chu closed his eyes. Only those who have experienced this kind of pain know what it's like.

Fortunately, Yun Ran did not use any secret techniques beforehand; otherwise, if she had been protecting Er Dan while suffering a backlash, her fate would not have been much better than it is now.

The little paper doll instantly understood why Xuan Chu asked that question from the expression on his face.

They came from the Ghost Realm, and although the journey was a bit messy, their master is now almost at full health.

Furthermore, since the master made a contract with the bronze mirror, his fortune has been steadily rising, so he certainly won't end up as miserable as Xuan Chu.

"My master will be alright!!!"

After saying this, the little paper doll looked towards the direction of the protective barrier and stood firmly in place.

At this point, the little paper doll wouldn't be of much help anyway, so it's better for it to stay here and watch over Xuan Chu.

Xuan Chu, who was severely affected by the backlash, soon fell into a deep sleep due to excessive exhaustion.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Yunran also set up a defensive formation to ensure that the first bolt of lightning would not hit Erdan directly.

Looking at her 'masterpiece', Yunran sat cross-legged next to Erdan and began to meditate.

He spoke leisurely: "You've recovered, it's just a matter of breaking out of your shell, yet so many people are here watching over you, and even this abbot is personally protecting you."

The moment Yunran closed her eyes, she was completely unaware that a special gas, invisible to the naked eye, was slowly flowing into her body.

And all around was Erdan's aura, so this gas was naturally the same.

Therefore, Yun Ran was completely unaware as the gas gradually seeped into her body.

The night passed slowly, and when the sun rose, Yunran opened her eyes.

She had been sitting still, and unless lightning struck, her facial features were almost completely closed.

Upon waking up, Yun Ran immediately smelled a foul odor emanating from the surroundings.

"Ugh... what's that stench?!"

Yunran's gaze immediately fell on Erdan: "Could it be that you hatched too slowly? Is that why the egg went bad?"

But this smell is definitely not the smell of rotten eggs, is it?

Erdan, who was wrongly accused: ...

If it weren't for its struggle to hatch and its lack of energy to argue, it would have truly gone crazy.

Heaven knows, even while Yunran was guarding its side, it could still smell these odors, and it almost choked on the smell.

Yunran was completely unaware that the stench was coming from her, and kept trying to find the source of the odor.

After getting closer to Erdan, Yunran even took a sniff. The odor was very faint, not like the source of the foul smell.

This drove Yunran a little crazy. If the stench was coming from Erdan, Yunran could barely tolerate it.

But now, I'm sorry, I can't tolerate even a little bit.

Yun Ran immediately focused her energy in her dantian, then rapidly scanned her surroundings with her divine sense. She gritted her teeth and roared, "Who is it?!"

Enraged by Yunran's unawareness of her own stench, Erdan tried even harder to break out of its shell, wanting to tell Yunran that it was she who smelled bad.

With a 'crack', another crack appeared on the eggshell as Erdan exerted force.

At the same time, the surrounding temperature dropped a little.

Erdan wanted to keep going, but the temperature dropped a little, which had a huge impact on it.

Just as it had mustered all its strength to break the eggshells one after another, it suddenly felt a bit weak, as if something was preventing it from emerging in one go.

This small change immediately caught Yunran's attention.

If it was a coincidence that when I first came in, I saw that Erdan's eggshell was cracked and the temperature had changed, then...

So now, the same scene is happening, which is no coincidence.

The temperature dropped a little, and the stench in the air seemed to thin out as well.

Only the stench around her remained at the same concentration, and Yunran finally realized belatedly that the stench was coming from her.

The cloud-like pattern cracked instantly.

They probably never imagined that she would get so smelly just from meditating here.

"yue..."

Yunran was completely devastated.

Unfortunately, there was no exposed water source nearby, and she couldn't easily leave Erdan's side right now.

Unable to continue enduring the stench of Yunran, he made a decision that went against his conscience.

She shut down her sense of smell. Let it stink, as long as she can't smell it. As for the other creatures, they're just unlucky.

Having solved the problem of the stench, Yunran then looked at Erdan.

Although she had focused most of her attention on the stench, that didn't mean she hadn't paid attention to Erdan.

When the eggshell cracked, Yunran clearly sensed that the second egg's activity level was different from what it was now.

After looking around Erdan for a while, Yunran finally noticed something unusual.

"Therefore, you need to use the high temperature here to break out of your shell. In addition, you are a heaven-defying being. If you want to break out of your shell, you will not only have to withstand the attack of heavenly lightning."

You also have to endure the power that was already suppressing you, until the temperature here drops.

"If you haven't even hatched yet, will you die in this eggshell due to complications during childbirth?"

This suspicion left Yunran completely bewildered once again.

No one had ever told her that eggs could be difficult to lay, and besides, she had never delivered an egg before.

Seeing that Erdan was no longer moving, the atmosphere around them had also changed slightly from before.

Yunran paced back and forth anxiously, muttering to herself, "Oh no, this involves something I'm completely unfamiliar with."

The thunderclouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and even though the heavenly lightning had not yet struck, Yun Ran's hair was already trembling.

If Erdan uses all his strength to hatch, even if he successfully hatches, he will be extremely weak.

Even though she withstood most of the lightning tribulation, the remaining residual power was enough to take Erdan away.

Yunran grew increasingly anxious, but the more anxious she became, the calmer she became.
