Chapter 40
Chapter 40: Your master popped out
She gently reached out, wanting to touch the black egg. But just before her fingers could land, she pulled her hand back.
Forget it. Better not touch it. If something really went wrong, she would be done for.
Su Qian got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Ten minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom and looked up – only to see a strange figure in the room.
Su Qian froze in place, eyes wide.
“What the hell? I must have gotten up too fast. I’m hallucinating – there’s a man in my room.”
Su Qian rubbed her eyes and stared again.
No.
This didn’t look like a hallucination!!!
That really was a person!
The man in front of her was completely naked, with only a blanket thrown over him, barely covering anything.
“Seriously, buddy, are you a pervert?!”
Su Qian’s face turned red in a flash. She scrambled to the wardrobe, yanked out a quilt, and rushed over. Flustered, she wrapped it around him.
In her panic, Su Qian stepped on the quilt. Her foot slipped, and she lurched forward, falling right onto him with the quilt.
[I’m done for!]
Su Qian’s mind went blank. She was completely stunned.
The sudden contact made the man frown slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.
Their eyes met.
It took a few seconds for Su Qian to react. She sprang up as if electrocuted, then frantically tugged the quilt higher on him, trying to cover up the awkward scene.
“I-I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to!” Su Qian stammered. Her voice shook hard.
In her head, she was already tagging Xia Meng Meng like crazy in the [Myriad Worlds Chat Group].
Su Qian: “It’s over, it’s over, Meng Meng, your master’s egg cracked! @Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder)”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “?Stunned?Sister Qian Qian, why are you going R-rated first thing in the morning?”
Su Qian slapped her forehead. The more anxious she got, the more she messed up.
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “No! It’s that egg… your master! He hatched!”
Su Qian tried her best to make it sound precise.
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Huh? What? My master came out of the egg?”
That explosive news instantly blew the group up.
Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “?Gossip Face?Is Meng Meng’s master handsome? Hurry, hurry, tell us!”
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “Girl Qian Qian, don’t panic. Villains are usually good-looking. Just hold steady.”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Whoa! Su Qian, you hit the jackpot!”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “This is not the time to talk about whether he’s handsome!”
Su Qian stared at the nonstop flashing message notifications, her head starting to ache.
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Sister Qian Qian, what exactly happened?”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “I don’t know! When I got up this morning, he was still an egg. I only went to brush my teeth, and when I came out, he’d turned human. He’s on my bed right now. I don’t even know what to do.”
Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “?Curious?So why is he on your bed?”
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “Haha, I’m curious too!”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “Is that the point?!”
Su Qian had no energy to answer their rapid-fire questions.
Her gaze kept drifting to the man on the bed.
He truly was breathtakingly handsome. Even in this awkward situation, he gave off a unique kind of charm.
But that wasn’t the point!
The point was, he was a supervillain from the cultivation realm who killed without blinking!
That was terrifying, okay?!
The man shifted slightly, and Su Qian’s heart jumped straight into her throat.
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “?Nervous?Your master… he won’t just kill people, right?”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Sister Qian Qian, I’m not sure. Master really was ruthless in the cultivation realm, but the situation is special now. I can’t say what he’ll do.”
Su Qian’s nerves only got worse after reading that.
She stared at the man on the bed and took an unconscious step back.
The man lifted his eyes slightly, a hint of confusion in his gaze.
Su Qian’s heart pounded wildly. She didn’t know how to deal with this at all.
She asked again in the chat group: “Then what should I do now?”
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “Girl Qian Qian, why don’t you try talking to him first?”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Yeah, Su Qian. See what his attitude is first.”
Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “Don’t be scared. Maybe he’s easy to talk to.”
Su Qian took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
She slowly approached the bed and said softly, “Um… hello?”
What an awful opening.
Su Qian felt so embarrassed her toes could practically dig a three-bedroom apartment into the floor.
Lu Yao didn’t answer. He only watched her quietly, as if he were thinking.
As an ancient divine dragon, Lu Yao had always been used to being arrogant.
Not long ago, he had led his little disciple to loot Pill Array Hall. Who would have thought he’d be ambushed and badly wounded?
Left with no choice, he had returned to his original form and hidden in the back mountains to recover.
Who knew that unreliable little disciple would use some unknown secret technique and throw him into this world?
During the time he stayed in egg form, he wasn’t completely unaware of what happened outside.
In the underground storage, the backyard, and this room, he sensed everything clearly.
This lousy place had no spiritual energy. His cultivation was suppressed. And there was a woman circling around him every day.
She muttered to herself from time to time, or else she would space out for ages.
Like just now – she had spaced out again.
Still, the woman in front of him seemed connected to his little disciple, far away in the Cultivation World.
How those two were connected, Lu Yao hadn’t figured out yet.
He also had no idea what kind of place this was.
After suffering a loss recently, Lu Yao decided it was best to be cautious.
Faced with Su Qian’s greeting, he thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
“What does shaking your head mean?” Su Qian was completely lost.
She immediately asked Xia Meng Meng, “Your master isn’t an idiot, is he?”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Sister Qian Qian, why would you suddenly say that?”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “He won’t talk. He just stares at me. It’s creeping me out.”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Sister Qian Qian, don’t panic. Master might just not have adapted to this environment yet. He’s definitely not an idiot. Maybe he’ll be fine once he settles down.”
Su Qian looked at Lu Yao and felt even less sure.
She tried again. “You don’t remember who you are? Don’t tell me you have amnesia.”
Amnesia?
Lu Yao’s heart stirred slightly. He lowered his eyes.
That excuse wasn’t bad.
He looked at Su Qian, then after a moment, he slowly nodded.
“Great!” Su Qian felt a surge of joy.
If he didn’t remember who he was, then she could fool him however she wanted, couldn’t she?
Su Qian’s eyes lit up as she started planning. She looked at Lu Yao and forced an awkward smile. “Haha, I was just joking earlier. Actually, I’m your…”
She thought for a long time, then blurted out, “Distant relative! Yeah, a distant relative!”
Lu Yao lifted his eyes and looked at Su Qian. A cold glint flashed through his gaze.
A distant relative?
Fine. He wanted to see what kind of story she could make up next.
