Chapter 73 - Gorgeous Doctor (20)

Ming Shu leisurely returned to her room after the beating. Qing Chen was slumped down outside the door.

As soon as she went into the room, she saw the eye-catching colorful egg expose itself on the table, rolling around willfully.

This little thing rolled back by itself?

The colorful egg perceived Ming Shu’s arrival, so it rolled to the edge and began to bounce up and down. “It’s so scary, that man is horrible!”

Ming Shu pulled out a chair and sat down. “What are you doing here?”

The colorful egg rolled in a couple of circles, back and forth, acting like a spoiled brat. It voiced in a pitiful tone, “The outside world is awful! I’m scared.”

Ming Shu twitched her mouth, pointing to herself with one finger. “So you mean I’m not scary?”

The egg somehow trembled its body. “Well… you are fine, you said you won’t eat living things that can speak.”

If it were not for this sentence, it wouldn’t have come straight to her after escaping from that man.

“I don’t eat, but…” Ming Shu prolonged her words with a meaningful smile. “That doesn’t mean people around me don’t eat, right?”

What a naive egg.

!!!

Is that true?

Why is my fate so miserable!

Wuwuwu, I want to go home.

“You must be scaring me on purpose,” the colorful egg tentatively said, voice airy and grieved.

I’m such a cute egg, why does everyone want to eat me? I’m not delicious at all!

“I’m not scaring you, kid.” Ming Shu picked up a fruit from the tray and took a small bite. “Later I’ll let Hui Xue cook you.”

Hearing this, the poor egg jumped up and down anxiously, making crisp noises constantly like an uneasy child.

Finally it shouted aloud, “You are a bad person! You are all bad!”

Then it angrily rolled down from the table and bounced out through the open window, disappearing from Ming Shu’s sight.

The latter focused on eating her fruit, nonchalant.

As she finished one fruit and was about to have another, the egg jumped in from outside again, trembling fiercely with a frightened “expression.”

Ming Shu was surprised. “What are you doing back here?” Has it overcome the fear of being boiled alive, or… is my charm so irresistible?

The colorful egg rolled its eyes at Ming Shu secretly, saying extremely quickly, “That serpent is here!”

Serpent?

The figure of a stupid snake in the Windy Mountain Range of Demons flashed across Ming Shu’s mind.

“Ahh!”

Screams started coming from outside constantly, accompanied by the crash of fallen objects.

Ming Shu stood up and walked to the window to take a look. The street was a scene of chaos, and a little further away, a huge golden monster was winding its body this way.

The buildings were all destroyed in its passing.

“It’s coming, it’s coming.” The colorful egg jumped beside Ming Shu’s hand. “It’s coming to eat me.”

“Aren’t you a divine beast egg?” Ming Shu looked down at it. “You’re scared of that one?”

The colorful egg bounced even more fiercely. “I’m still young… In human terms, I’m still an infant! How is it possible for me to beat an adult?”

Ming Shu concluded simply, “You mean you are weak.”

“I’m very powerful!” protested the little egg.

Ming Shu said doubtfully, “Then go fight with it! Why are you scared?”

“I…” The egg hesitated for a little while, and then found a reasonable excuse for itself. “I’m still a baby, I can’t fight it. When I am born and out of the shell, I will be way more powerful than the serpent.”

Humph, I’m not weak.

I’m just not born yet.

“That is called being weak.”

“…” I’m not weak, I’m not!

The golden serpent came straight toward the inn. Hui Xue and Liu Feng walked in. The former stared at the serpent with fear and urged Ming Shu, “Miss, it’s coming near, let’s get out of here first.”

“It’s not coming for me, why should I leave?” Ming Shu said smilingly.

“… Not for you?” Hui Xue for sure didn’t agree with her Miss. Had she forgotten how she abused the serpent at the Windy Mountain Range of Demons? If it wasn’t coming for revenge, then what else?

Ming Shu pointed at the uneasy egg. “It’s absolutely coming for this one. We only need to hand it over and everything will be settled in peace.”

The egg rolled back several meters right away, stuck itself into a corner, and complained in a crying tone, “You’re a cruel human! You’re heartless.”

Ming Shu nodded with her smiling eyes, staring at the egg, and then asked seriously, “You’re right, I am heartless, but what’s wrong with that?” What does it have to do with others if I’m cruel?

The egg completely went crazy.

What’s wrong!

She should asked me what’s wrong with her cruelty! Does she feel proud of that? What’s this pride for!

Besides, I am such a cute and powerful egg, how could this woman not want me? Is she a woman? Is she even a human!

She’s worse than a beast!

“Miss, it’s here.”

The minute Hui Xue finished the sentence, the golden serpent slithered forward handsomely and successfully landed its head outside Ming Shu’ window, knocking a neighboring house into the air.

Just its head was about the size of a window.

Its golden eyes were like two big copper bells, staring straight at Ming Shu, gloomy and treacherous.

“Hi.” Ming Shu greeted the serpent with a wave.

The serpent spit out its scarlet tongue, saying ferociously, “Human, give me the divine beast egg, and you shall survive.”

“Stupid snake, I’ll survive?” Ming Shu chuckled. “You should worry about yourself.”

She was implying something by saying this. The golden serpent followed Ming Shu’s gaze, then it saw several figures were running at full speed toward it in a circle formation. Narrowing its hostile eyes, the serpent lashed its tail in a rush, cutting the buildings in half with loud noises. It then quickly lifted its glossy tail again, the gathering Qi causing objects to float into the air, their sharp edges aimed at the approaching figures.

Swoosh—

With a strike of its tail, the scattered objects in the air flew out in all directions with a swift and fierce momentum.

Liu Feng stepped forward to block the flying debris for Ming Shu, and Hui Xue took the chance to grab Ming Shu’s wrist. “Miss, go!”

Hui Xue pulled Ming Shu along to flee the inn via the front door. As soon as they stepped out, the inn was cut up and collapsed to the ground. Surrounded by the wavering dust, the figure of the serpent became more and more indistinct.

“Ahem hem…” Hui Xue waved her hands to fan the dust and led Ming Shu to s safer location. But suddenly, her wrist was pulled hard by Ming Shu and she was dragged back several steps. Then a huge object crashed down just in front of her from above.

“Be careful, baby.”

A stream of warm breath flowed passed Hui Xue’s ear; she swallowed silently.”T-thank you, Miss.”

If the Miss hadn’t pulled her back just now, she would have been hit by the fallen object. But why did it feel a little strange…

“Miss Zhi Po, we meet again.”

Ming Shu loosened her grip on Hui Xue and looked to the side. Qing Chen was standing just a few steps away from her, in an even more gorgeous outfit, looking like a colorful butterfly.

His stunning elegance hadn’t been reduced by the dust and ashes of the ruins.

That was a real procurer right there.

Ming Shu smiled lightly. “Look at you, are you falling in love with me?”

“…” What a shameless narcissist. Qing Chen harrumphed a cold laugh and replied, “Is Miss Zhi Po always so narcissistic like this?”

Ming Shu admitted humbly, “Well, not that much.”

What?! Who said I was praising you!

Qing Chen forced himself to hold back his violent impulses. He pasted on a fake smile and said, “I really hope that Miss Zhi Po’s medical skill is as good as her thick skin.”
