(A loud plea for monthly votes! Brothers and sisters, today is the second to last day of the month, everyone hurry up and steal some monthly votes, otherwise, they will all be invalid tomorrow... I, in my humble opinion, am willing to collect monthly votes for everyone, hehehehe...)

"Really? Yang Ming has always been very proper when he's with my mother-in-law. I've never seen him be humorous when he's with me. I never expected him to have this side to him..." Liu Yun said with surprise.

"That's right. When we used to fish, I always thought Yang Ming was a very serious and well-behaved kid. I never would have imagined that he had that side to him..." Aunt Pang sighed.

The fact that Yang Ming and the other two slept in the same room completely changed Aunt Pang's impression of Yang Ming. Although she didn't dislike him, it was no longer the same as her first impression of him.

"Oh?" Liu Yun's eyes lit up. "Auntie Pang, tell me, what did Yang Ming do wrong?"

Women are born with a gossipy soul.

"What's wrong with him? He's wrong in every way, he's glib and annoying..." Aunt Fatty realized she might have said something wrong and quickly said.

"Glib talker? What did he say???" Liu Yun asked curiously.

"Hey, it's nothing, she just likes to argue with people. Often, one sentence from her can leave people speechless for a long time..." Auntie Pang said.

"Hehe," Liu Yun chuckled, "That's really true, Yang Ming does have this problem."

Liu Yun brought Aunt Pang to the manager's office so that Aunt Pang could discuss the cooperation with the manager, who was also her husband...

"Phoenix, I'm taking you somewhere, do you dare to go???" Yang Ming and Zhang Fenghuang left the wolf den and came to the edge of the fishpond. As they strolled along the edge of the fishpond, Yang Ming said mysteriously.

"Where???" Zhang Fenghuang feigned a wary expression. "You're not planning to sell me, are you? Or are you planning to rape and kill me, then dump my body in the wilderness...?"

"What on earth are you thinking about???" Yang Ming's face immediately darkened, and he raised his hand and gave Zhang Fenghuang a hard knock on the top of her head.

"Ugh, what am I going to do if you knock away the inspiration I just had?" Zhang Fenghuang pouted, glared at Yang Ming, and said with dissatisfaction.

"I'll ask you one more time, are you going or not..." Yang Ming's tone was full of temptation.

"You can rape me, but you can't kill me..." Zhang Fenghuang said, squinting her big eyes.

"Phoenix, I think you should stop writing novels in the future, or you'll ruin your brain..." Yang Ming slapped his forehead and said helplessly.

"Hehe, inspiration, you know, can't let it disappear, hehehe..." Zhang Fenghuang chuckled and said.

"Phew..." Yang Ming let out a helpless sigh. "I'll show you something. I guarantee that after you see it, you'll never need any inspiration for your writing again, because your thoughts will flow like a spring..."

"Oh??? Intelligent? An intelligent computer that can automatically edit novels???" Zhang Fenghuang's eyes gleamed.

"Bang..." Yang Ming, with his index finger bent, gave Zhang Fenghuang a hard tap on the forehead. "Are you out of your mind? You're talking nonsense..."

"Ouch..." Yang Ming used a lot of force this time, and Zhang Fenghuang grimaced in pain, crying out repeatedly, clutching her forehead and glaring fiercely at Yang Ming.

"What are you groaning about? Hurry up and give me a straight answer, are you going or not?" Yang Ming glared at Zhang Fenghuang and said irritably.

"Of course I'll go, otherwise I'll just get beaten up for nothing!" Zhang Fenghuang pouted and said.

"Let's go then..." Yang Ming said, walking to a nearby iron gate, opening it, and leading Zhang Fenghuang inside.

"Yang Ming, you really won't rape me??? I feel so creepy here??? You're not planning to imprison me and then ravage me, are you???" Zhang Fenghuang looked around curiously, then leaned close to Yang Ming and whispered.

"You must have watched some indecent films..." Yang Ming's forehead was covered in sweat. "Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything to you... Your barren salt flats will never see any golden seeds in this lifetime..."

"You deserve a beating, don't you? You're so mean..." Zhang Fenghuang rolled her eyes, raised her little fist, and punched Yang Ming hard in the back.

"Hehehe," Yang Ming laughed, "Just be normal, otherwise if you keep talking nonsense and trying to scare me, I'll really do *that* to you..."

"Didn't you say this is barren saline-alkali land? You can forget about seeing any golden seeds..." Zhang Fenghuang said leisurely.

"There are safety measures in place..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Get lost..." Zhang Fenghuang kicked Yang Ming hard in the buttocks.

Yang Ming led Zhang Fenghuang directly to the breeding farm of the egg-laying dragons. Standing outside the iron fence, Zhang Fenghuang was so shocked that she couldn't say a word. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, staring unblinkingly at the two enormous creatures in the breeding farm, as if afraid that in the blink of an eye, the two giant beasts that only appeared in myths and legends would suddenly disappear.

"This is an egg-laying dragon, an egg-laying animal bred from flying dragons. The scrambled eggs you ate that boosted your physical fitness were produced by them..." Yang Ming glanced at Zhang Fenghuang and, seeing that she was completely stunned, said smugly.

"Yang Ming, pinch your thigh quickly..." Zhang Fenghuang said in a low but urgent voice, her eyes fixed on the egg-laying dragon.

"Why don't you pinch yourself???" Yang Ming reached out and pinched Zhang Fenghuang's cheek. "Don't worry, you're not dreaming..."

"I'm really not dreaming??? I'm just afraid, I'm afraid that I'm dreaming, and when I wake up, everything will be gone..." Zhang Fenghuang said excitedly.

"Hehe, what you want is inspiration. So what if it's a dream?" Yang Ming laughed.

"They all have wings now, will they be able to fly???" Zhang Fenghuang thought of another question and hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry about it. If they could fly away, would I still dare to let them roam here? These two egg-laying dragons have severely degenerated wings and can't fly at all, nor do they have any offensive capabilities..." Yang Ming said.

"You mean I can get up close and personal with them???" Zhang Fenghuang's eyes lit up, and her voice rose.

"Of course..." Yang Ming nodded with a smile.

Actually, Yang Ming quite admired Zhang Fenghuang. This woman was too oblivious. Anyone seeing such a giant beast for the first time should normally feel fear, but she was completely mesmerized...

"Hurry up and open the lock, hurry up and open the lock... I want to touch them with my own hands..." Zhang Fenghuang jumped up and down with joy, urging them repeatedly.

"Hehe..." Yang Ming chuckled as he unlocked the door and opened the gate. Zhang Fenghuang didn't wait for Yang Ming and immediately crawled inside, running towards the two enormous creatures.

The two egg-laying dragons were extremely docile by nature. When they saw a female human running towards them, they couldn't help but widen their eyes and look at Zhang Fenghuang with curiosity.

"Oh my, it's so beautiful, just like a gemstone..." Zhang Fenghuang gently stroked the emerald green dragon, a hint of infatuation in her eyes.

"This is a male dragon. Its scales look just like the finest jade. When it molts, we can sell the shed scales as jade, which will be a considerable income..." Yang Ming said as he walked into the breeding farm.

"Remember to save one for me when the time comes..." Zhang Fenghuang said without any politeness.

"If you have money, I'll give you as much as you want..." Yang Ming smiled like a shrewd businessman.

"You shameless bastard! I'm doing you a favor by asking you for a dragon scale. You should feel honored. How dare you ask me for money? Are you out of your mind?" Zhang Fenghuang looked at Yang Ming with considerable disdain and sneered.

"You're quite domineering..." Yang Ming said.

"What's so domineering about it?? Once the dragon scales are shed, they're just trash. I'll take care of the trash for you, and I won't ask you for any compensation. You should be laughing all the way to the bank..." Zhang Fenghuang became more and more smug as she spoke.

"Yes, yes, you're right. Tomorrow, I'll give you a dragon egg as compensation. Dragon eggs stir-fried with scallions taste amazing. But don't give it to your old man, or he'll have the energy to cause trouble again..." Yang Ming glanced at Zhang Fenghuang and said sarcastically.

"You..." Zhang Fenghuang was speechless with anger, her little face flushed red, and she was panting heavily. "I will tell my dad everything you said today, word for word..."

"You, you're really so boring. How old are you? Still tattling on your parents???" Yang Ming immediately lost his temper. Speaking of which, Zhang Fenghuang's father was definitely a powder keg.

"Then tell me, how are you going to thank me for taking care of your trash?" Zhang Fenghuang immediately became smug.

"Tell me, apart from needing my wife's approval to get my golden seeds, everything else, as long as I have it, I'll give it to you without hesitation..." Yang Ming said, looking pitiful and helpless.

"I've noticed you're getting more and more frivolous..." Zhang Fenghuang glared fiercely at Yang Ming. "I won't make things difficult for you. Just give me two little dragons, and I'll let you off the hook..."

"Okay, okay..." Yang Ming nodded repeatedly.

"You're smart to know what's good for you..." Zhang Fenghuang said smugly.

clap clap clap...

Suddenly, a sound like a belt striking the ground rang out, startling both of them. Zhang Fenghuang's gaze towards Yang Ming immediately changed, becoming timid and pitiful: "Brother Ming, I was just joking, don't take it seriously..."

"Huh???" Yang Ming, who was carefully trying to pinpoint the direction of the sound, was startled by Zhang Fenghuang's words: "What's wrong???"

"I don't want it anymore, I don't want anything anymore, as long as you don't whip me, I'll do whatever you want..." Zhang Fenghuang said pitifully.

"What nonsense are you spouting???" Yang Ming's forehead immediately creased with exasperation. "There's definitely something nearby. Don't move, I'll go check it out..."

"I'll go with you..." Zhang Fenghuang immediately tensed up when Yang Ming mentioned something nearby. If seeing a dragon, something straight out of mythology, here was a given, then some strange things were hardly surprising. Moreover, it seemed Yang Ming didn't know what it was either, which meant there was likely danger. Waiting here alone was far worse than going together. At least with each other, they could look out for each other...

"You're right behind me, did you hear me???" Yang Ming thought that having Zhang Fenghuang follow him so he could keep an eye on her was a good option, so he agreed.

"No problem, when things are dangerous, it should be the men who step up..." Zhang Fenghuang said with a smile.

"You're such a prankster..." Yang Ming shook his head helplessly.

Yang Ming led the way, with Zhang Fenghuang following behind. Together, they slowly made their way in the direction the sound came from.

In a remote mountain village, the two finally found the source of the sound. However, the scene before them made them both gasp in shock.

In a remote mountain corner, a giant, snow-white python stretched out. It was about three meters long and about 10 centimeters in diameter. Its white scales were dull and lackluster, clearly indicating that it was a python that had just awakened from hibernation. There was a noticeable bulge on its belly, which, judging from its shape, resembled a giant egg. At that moment, it was forcefully ramming the bulge against the mountain wall, trying to break it apart.

"This guy actually swallowed a dragon egg..." Yang Ming was somewhat surprised. You know, although this giant python is 10 centimeters in diameter, that 10 centimeters refers to the thickest part of its body. The diameter of its neck is at most 5 centimeters.

"You're saying it swallowed a dragon egg???" Zhang Fenghuang's eyes widened. "It can't be... it's going to turn into a dragon, can it???"

"Hiss..." Yang Ming gasped upon hearing Zhang Fenghuang's words. Thinking about it, it was indeed a possibility, and it was also a line of thought: if livestock were fed dragon eggs, to what extent would they evolve? Especially livestock raised in the farm space, which were constantly evolving within that environment; if they were fed dragon eggs...

At the very least, Yang Ming felt that if those unicorn snakes were allowed to eat the dragon eggs, there would definitely be unexpected changes.

As Yang Ming was pondering these matters, the python suddenly underwent a change.

Dragon eggs have extremely hard shells, but they are most vulnerable to acid. Coincidentally, the acid in a python's abdomen is also highly corrosive. Initially, the python doesn't secrete much stomach acid, so the dragon egg remains unchanged, or at least very slightly, not enough to soften it. However, as time passes, the python secretes more and more stomach acid, accumulating in its abdominal cavity. The powerful stomach acid penetrates the eggshell, and combined with the impact of the python constantly slamming against the stone wall…

The dragon egg broke, and unsurprisingly, the egg yolk flowed into the python's belly...

Egg-laying dragons are inherently cold-blooded, scaled creatures, and pythons happen to be cold-blooded, scaled creatures as well. The dragon egg was absorbed by the python without any surprise, and with exceptionally high efficiency.

sizzle...

The energy from the dragon egg surged into the python's body, instantly turning the white giant python blood red. A wisp of smoke rose from its body, accompanied by a barbecue smell, caused by the python's blood burning. Moreover, it was clear that the python was in extreme pain, constantly writhing, flicking its tongue, and emitting painful hissing sounds.

"Could it be... that it's really going to transform into a dragon???" Zhang Fenghuang peeked out from behind Yang Ming, curiously watching the python writhing in pain.

"Well, who knows..." Yang Ming didn't know what to say, but he knew that if he didn't get rid of the python in front of him, it would be incredibly lucky.

"Maybe we should stay away from it..." Zhang Fenghuang said timidly.

"No need..." Yang Ming shook his head slightly, pushing Zhang Fenghuang's little head behind him. "Stay behind me, don't stick your head out. In case of danger, I'll shield you..."

"You're talking nonsense! A python transforming into a dragon is a once-in-a-millennium event. If I miss it, I'll regret it to death!" Zhang Fenghuang shook her head vigorously and said.

The python kept writhing. Perhaps the dragon egg's energy was too abundant, because the python's skin gradually cracked, and bright red blood oozed out, staining this remote mountain area red. The python itself also became a bloody mess.

"It's a terrible sight..." Zhang Fenghuang looked at the python's pitiful state and felt a pang of pity. "Can you help it???"

"I don't have that kind of ability..." Yang Ming's eyes twitched as he watched the python writhe. "Remember this: some things you can't just eat..."

"Mmm..." Zhang Fenghuang nodded repeatedly. At this moment, she strongly agreed with Yang Ming's words.

Gradually, the python's outer skin began to fall apart, but underneath, a new layer of skin emerged. This new skin was different from the old one; its scales were significantly larger. Below its belly, four new, tender claws appeared. The small snake's head had also undergone subtle changes. First, its outline had become more angular. Two small bulges on the top of its head continued to swell, and two long whiskers, resembling carp whiskers, emerged from the sides of its mouth. A long mane had even risen along its back, from which a fine tuft of white hair had grown…

"This...it really is going to turn into a dragon..." Zhang Fenghuang stared at the python in front of her, her mouth agape.

"The facts are obvious, it's just a matter of how many claws it has..." Yang Ming's eyes lit up. If this dragon egg could really turn snakes into dragons, then what if he used the dragon egg to feed the unicorn snakes? Would it also cause them to evolve? If they could evolve into five-clawed snakes, then he could sell them in the sales system and make a fortune. All the farm tools in the sales system would be open to him.

"Hehe, Yang Ming, give me this python..." Zhang Fenghuang said sweetly, hugging Yang Ming's arm.

"Give it to you??" Yang Ming turned his head and glanced at Zhang Fenghuang. "I'd rather secretly give you a ton of golden seeds without my wife knowing..."

"Get out of here..." Zhang Fenghuang pinched Yang Ming's waist with her small hand, "One ton? Even if I squeezed you dry, I couldn't squeeze out a ton..."

"Anyway, don't even think about coveting this python..." Yang Ming said decisively.

"I don't want the python, give me this dragon instead, how about that???" Zhang Fenghuang's eyes shone even brighter as she looked at the python rolling on the ground. Right under their noses, the snake had actually turned into a dragon, a small white dragon with a snow-white body.
