Chapter 95 Upgrades Again: The Strange Tale of "Egg-Born"?

Shan Ailian led her family into the mountains to hide and avoid pursuers.

Her aunt, mother, and younger brother were all there. They had been taken to the execution ground and were all thought to be dead, but at the last moment, Ailian saved them. They were both shocked and delighted.

After that, apart from the two groups of soldiers who were lured away, the others also circled around to this place.

When the two ladies of Erxianzhuang learned that it was Dou Xianniang who had saved them, they both expressed their gratitude to her.

Dou Xianniang smiled and said, "Ailian and I are like sisters, so it's only right that I come to help."

"The person you should really thank is my advisor. If it weren't for this rain shower, we wouldn't have been able to save them."

At that moment, Wu Qing happened to bring Luo Zhuluan over.

The members of the Shan family were all astonished to learn that the young man had saved them with his magical powers.

Then she watched the boy waving his fan and smiling, mysterious and enigmatic.

[Mystery Level +1]

[Charm Value +1]

Wu Qing heard a "ding" sound.

Without even opening the system window, he knew that the progress bar, which was just a tiny bit short of gaining experience points, had finally reached its maximum.

You can upgrade now!

"Qing-ge'er, which way should we go now?" Dou Xianniang looked at her advisor. "Openly attempting to break a prisoner will surely incur the wrath of the authorities."

"I also left my tracks ahead. The road to the north is mostly full of checkpoints to prevent us from sending people to Yanyin Mountain."

Wu Qing waved his fan and said, "It's alright! Judging from various clues, the hero Qin Qiong and Master Shan have already killed officials and rebelled in Jinan, recruiting soldiers and horses along the way."

"But in Shandong, there is not only Yang Lin, the King of the Mountain, and his twelve bodyguards, but also Zhang Xutuo, who has just broken through Changbai Mountain and is full of momentum."

"Especially Yang Lin, the Prince of Kao Shan, who robbed his imperial convoy and openly started a rebellion, he will never let everyone go."

"Therefore, Qin Shubao, Master Shan, and others will soon rebel in Shandong and head towards Henan. We'll head east and meet them on the way."

Uncle Cheng and the others had arranged for a carriage to come over in advance. Although Wu Qing could ride a horse, he was not skilled in martial arts, so he sat in the carriage with Shan Ailian's two younger brothers.

Dou Xianniang, Luo Zhuluan, and Shan Ailian each rode their horses, protecting the group as they avoided checkpoints along the way, heading east.

On the way, Wu Qing upgraded his account.

[Upgrading! (First attribute: Infectivity; Second attribute: Mystery.)]

Immediately afterwards, all the numbers in the five-dimensional graph following the progress bar transformed into two beams of light and flew into his body.

He held the feather fan to his chest, feeling the mysterious power that had suddenly appeared within him—he couldn't actually feel it, but there was a strange sense of exhilaration.

The reason why this outbreak had the highest infection rate was mainly due to the followers of Maitreya.

Upgrade complete!

[Current level is "Tales of the Strange Lv4"! Obtained the Tales of the Strange "Egg-Born" (Note: Humans are born from human mothers, demons are born from demon mothers, and eggs are born from egg fathers!)]

What the hell is this?

Wu Qing thought to himself, "I remember the last time I leveled up, my charm was the highest and my mystery was second. The system gave me the Green Snake and the White Snake, and now I'm supposed to use my charm to seduce Little White and Little Green?"

"This one has the highest infectivity and mystery, so why did it hatch from an egg?"

Wu Qing knew that what the system provided was related to the emphasis of his five-dimensional diagram during his upgrade.

But for a moment he didn't understand what the "egg-laying" had to do with the degree of infectivity.

Eggs are laid by their fathers — does that mean I should lay eggs?

Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine.

If that's the case, then I really shouldn't have chosen to upgrade.

See instructions.

—"Egg-born: The host may select an item from this world, and a bizarre demonic spirit from another world that is related to the host's bloodline but does not belong to this world will reside in it."

—"After the demon is born, it will automatically recognize the host as its father. The host can choose its gender, but otherwise, everything is up to fate, after all, ghost stories are always absurd."

What does it mean that ghost stories are always absurd? My little Bai and Xiao Qing are considered ghost stories now, but they're not absurd at all; they're actually quite beautiful.

He opened the window and looked outside.

Luo Zhuluan, dressed in a flowing pink and white fairy dress and draped in soft armor, turned and met his gaze, revealing a gentle smile.

More of these kinds of ghost stories are needed.

That being said, the reason why Zhu Luan and Ai Lian followed him was because they were already married in their previous life.

As for how this past life came about, let's not worry about that!

Wu Qing withdrew his gaze and continued reading the instructions.

The "object" inhabited by the demon can be a woman or something else.

Different objects will have different effects, but the garbage system doesn't say exactly what those effects are.

What we know is that if a woman is chosen as the host for an egg-laying organism, then the chosen woman will lay an egg.

Just like Nezha's mother.

In a sense, isn't Nezha also a kind of ghost story?

Actually, the Nezha in Investiture of the Gods is relatively good. In earlier legends, Nezha was able to fly to the sky and enter the sea just three days after birth, and even wreaked havoc in the Dragon Palace.

Wu Qing tilted his head and thought for a moment, then decided it was better not to use women as hostages.

He had absolutely no desire for Miss Dou, Zhu Luan, and Ai Lian to lay an egg.

He has no intention of having other women bear him children.

Just then, a thought struck him, and he took out the Suihou Pearl from his pocket.

The Suihou Pearl is crystal clear and faintly exudes a mysterious luster.

Speaking of which, the Suihou Pearl itself is also a legend related to monsters—well, the spirit snake that gave the pearl to Suihou in the legend can at most be considered a spirit beast, and should not be considered a monster.

Moreover, the Suihou Pearl is round, which is naturally suitable for laying eggs.

Let's just use this Suihou Pearl; it's just sitting there anyway.

He looked at the Suihou Pearl, on which small words floated.

— "Whether to select: Yes/No!"

Wu Qing selected it, and the Suihou Pearl vanished from his hand. When he looked again, it had appeared in the system bar.

"Please use your own essence and blood to summon otherworldly demons and create the Strange Egg."

"7

Wu Qing bit his finger and tapped the Suihou Pearl icon in the system bar.

In his eyes, it was as if a cold light pierced through the sky and flew into the Suihou Pearl from the strange crack in the heavens and earth.

Please select gender: Male/Female/Other! (Once selected, it cannot be changed)

What is that "other"?

Wu Qing suddenly felt an urge to click on "Other".

I've heard that in a certain country, even "armed helicopters" have a gender.

However, in the end, I obediently ordered "female".

When he pointed to the character "woman", he stared intently at his hand, afraid that it would slip.

Then, another option suddenly appeared.

"You can choose the outfit of the monster hatched from the egg in advance. The options are as follows: Lotus outfit (Do you know Nezha?) / Sailor uniform (Although the world is different, it's still a ghost story) / Autobot (The square shape is also cute) / ————/"

I just love natural things!
