Chapter 5 — Cat Goddess Goddess
In the blink of an eye, all the injuries on his body disappeared. Her blue eyes stared at me, seemingly able to penetrate my soul. A moment later, she spoke up:
“You said you just saw a yellow snake tail in the egg?”
I understood that this was my last chance, so I immediately answered seriously:
“That's right.”
“I swear, I really saw it.”
“Where is the evidence?”
“There are so many people here, are you the only one who sees it?”
“You are truly special.”
“Are you so special that you want to become queen of the Huyen Xa tribe?”
Thanh Nhu yin and yang strangely asked.
“Shut up!”
“Should I ask you?”
The old snake queen raised her head and used pressure to intimidate her. Then she turned around and looked at me seriously.
“The Huyen Xa tribe has not had a baby animal born for a hundred years.”
“I searched all over the continent, but couldn't find a solution.”
"Therefore, it was very difficult for Thanh Van to get pregnant. This child is the hope of the entire Huyen Xa clan."
“If you break an egg and there is nothing inside, do you know what you will face?”
“Of course, if you save my nephew, you will become a benefactor of the entire Huyen Xa tribe.”
“We will become your strongest support in the animal world.”
The egg at his feet heard someone trying to save him, and immediately cried out in panic:
“Grandmother! Grandmother!”
“Boo said he waited in line for a long time to get to his mother's belly.”
“But mother always drinks bitter medicine, making it impossible for her to come.”
“It was originally said to be a beautiful golden egg.”
"It's all because that evil woman gave her mother strange medicine!"
The old snake queen did not hear these words, but only urged me to make a final decision:
“Now, do you still want to persevere?”
I nodded seriously.
“That's right.”
“I'm sure there's a cub inside.”
“Just let me open the eggshell…”
Thanh Nhu immediately panicked and rudely interrupted me. She cried and said to the old snake queen:
“Miss, I know you don't like me.”
"But as soon as this egg was born, it was examined by the witch. Not only was it dead, it also had an ominous pattern."
"If you don't believe me, don't you also believe in the great witch?"
"You trust a lowly beast slave!"
“If something really happens to the tribe, what should we do?”
“Are you worthy of the trust of your clan?”
“I deserve it!”
"If something really happens, this old skeleton of mine will apologize first with death. Are you satisfied?"
The old snake queen's voice contained intense pressure. Except for me and Mac Phong, everyone was forced to retreat a hundred steps away. With me and the stone egg as the center, an empty space immediately appeared around. The old snake queen solemnly handed the stone egg into my hand.
“Go ahead.”
I took the egg, pulled out the dagger I carried with me, and carefully pried along the crack. The first piece of eggshell falls. A small yellow snake tail indeed hung out. Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound. The faces of the great witch and Thanh Nhu turned pale at the same time. Mac Phong, who was always tough, had red eyes at this moment. I took a deep breath and continued to pry the eggshell. At this moment, a pitiful cry rang out in the crowd set of a maid:
“The queen is bleeding!”
The maid pushed through the crowd and ran to Mac Phong to report:
“Leader, please go back and see!”
“The snake queen's bleeding is very serious, I'm afraid she won't survive!”
Mac Phong was immediately stunned. Thanh Nhu seemed to have seized the opportunity and immediately attacked me:
“What about having a snake's tail?”
“It's still a disaster!”
“The eggshell just fell off, and my sister is already bleeding.”
“If we let it out completely, we're all in danger.”
“Quickly burn it!”
Pop! The old snake queen turned around and slapped Thanh Nhu. She was beaten until her hair was messy, and red fingerprints quickly appeared on her face.
“Miss, I don't know what I did wrong…”
The old snake queen curled her lips and sarcastically said:
"How did Thanh Van know that she gave birth to a dead egg?"
"And how do you know that the witch wants to burn the egg to ashes?"
"Thanh Nhu, don't think of everyone as idiots."
The Great Vu saw Thanh Nhu being beaten, and his eyes unconsciously showed pain.
“Old snake queen, it's inevitable that someone who does that will be too domineering.”
"Sooner or later the snake queen will know about these things. Why do you need to be angry at Miss Thanh Nhu?"
The old snake queen took the staff and hit him directly on the head.
"I was only worried about dealing with her and forgot to deal with you, right?"
“It seems you've forgotten how much you weigh!”
"Tieu Mac, continue to attack! Don't pay attention to others!"
I nervously swallowed my saliva and calmly continued to peel the eggshell. A soft cry came from inside:
"Sister, be gentle..."
“Say it hurts…”
My movements become more gentle, but also more steady. Baby, you must be a little Huyen Xa with a future! One piece. Two pieces. Finally, the egg shell is completely peeled off. But my face turned pale. My hands also kept shaking. Looking at what was inside the egg, I was stunned on the spot. I want to say something, but I don't know where to start. In the end, all he could do was twitch the corner of his mouth, forcing out a smile that was more unsightly than crying.
“Out… Out.”
Thanh Nhu saw my expression, immediately ignoring the pain on her face, ran to push me aside. The next second, she covered her mouth and shouted:
“This is not Huyen Xa!”
“It's a monster!”
As soon as the words came out, everyone immediately gathered around. Mac Phong stepped forward quickly, his pupils suddenly constricted.
“What is this?”
In the egg there is indeed a living being. But it is completely different from the normal young beast Huyen Xa. The Xuan Xa cub's body is usually completely black, and can only judge the high or low level of its bloodline based on the color of its pupils.
