Chapter 382: Hatching the egg!

Author Note: Cliffhanger at the end~. Read at your own discretion~."

***************************

Their eyes fell onto the big chicken egg. Their expression couldn't help but become odd. Evelyn asked doubtfully. "Are you sure it is a dragon egg, Yasenia?"

Angel giggled, "It looks like a chicken egg."

Andrea was amused. "Well, it is fifteen centimeters tall, so it's double a chicken egg, but yeah, it's really underwhelming for being a dragon egg."

Valeria commented. "That's how you know it is from a powerful dragon. I can guess its bloodline is at least at a divine beast level."

Yasenia heard them and also thought it was strange. She knew that most high-level dragon species had special means to camouflage their offspring to make it look inferior to others. However, just in case, she used her nose and sniffed around it, using her aura to feel the life inside the egg.

The others waited for the verdict. "It really is a dragon egg. Or, well, at least I can feel a profound dragon bloodline inside. So I can't imagine it being anything other than a dragon."

They nodded, and their eyes focused on the egg, waiting for Yasenia to hatch it. Yasenia saw their expression and said strangely. "Why are you looking at me? I don't know how to hatch it. I've already wasted all my efforts in the past, and it didn't react to anything."

Cecile raised her eyebrow, "Did you try to use Blood Essence?"

Frowns appeared on their faces. Andrea asked, "How is the blood essence you used for Angel's ritual? Has it recovered?"

Yasenia nodded. Her voice was soothing as she coaxed them. "Don't worry, dears. I'm completely healthy. After being reborn, my blood essence was refilled. Also, I tried to use blood essence in the past by approaching it to the egg, not dropping it on the egg. I didn't feel any reaction then, so I reabsorbed it inside me."

They nodded, feeling better. Cecile said. "Don't use your blood essence. What if you mark it with it or something? You'll gain a new lover even before you realize it."

Yasenia was speechless, but it also made sense. Therefore, she looked at Tatyana and asked. "So, what should I do?"

Tatyana shrugged, "I don't know. How about you, Valeria? Any clues?"

Valeria materialized and looked at the egg closely. Then, she shook her head, "I don't. Something strange is protecting it, and I can't read through it with my current strength. I could see through it if I had at least peak-level Dantian Spiritualization Realm strength."

Angel asked the last senior present. "Mirrory, can you help us?"

Mirrory's spiritual sense covered the egg for a while, and then she said. "No idea. This creature is from the higher planes. I'm too weak to decipher anything."

They all sighed. Yasenia asked. "Is it safe even to crack it open? Its background seems extraordinary."

Tatyana shrugged. "What's the worst that can happen? As long as you don't abuse it, we will be safe. Even if its parents are gods or immortals, they won't be unreasonable enough to kill us for rearing their child when they couldn't."

Yasenia nodded and said. "Well, since my body and bloodline have changed, I may trigger it. If it is from a higher world, it is possible that it didn't react before because my bloodline was not that pure."

The others found it reasonable. Therefore, Yasenia decided to pour her blood first.

Her golden claw pierced her thought scales, and bright red blood began flowing.

The blood was sparkly and somewhat dense, looking like drops of rubies instead of blood. Moreover, the fragrance was simply tempting for Valeria, Kali, Sierra, Ebirah, and Cecile. Their eyes turned toward it, and they couldn't help but gulp.

This was the first time they saw her bleed so closely. When Tang Xian injured her, she also bled a bit, but it soon coagulated and was absorbed by Kali's plants to heal her.

Angel asked curiously as the blood dripped on the egg. "Why is Yasenia's blood so beautiful? There are no impurities; it looks nice."

Usually, blood was red-colored, but it also had darker red spots. That was because of the impurities in the body.

Our girls had very little of them because Yasenia's dual cultivation technique cleansed everything in their bodies. However, even they couldn't escape the small impurities.

However, Yasenia's blood was as pure as it could get. The only one who could rival Yasenia in blood purity was Cecile because of the True Phoenix Tear lake's purifying nature and maybe Tatyana's current body.

Moreover, most Phoenix bloodlines had self-purifying properties. Of course, its effect varied depending on the bloodline level and type.

Mirrory answered Angel, "Her body was recreated from the purest of energies. It is normal for her to have no impurities. The energies created in Yasenia's even rival ancient energy spots where it has been left to develop alone for millions of years. It's normal since Yasenia created the Primordial Celestial Energy at that time. Its presence is enough to make any energy become extremely pure."

Yasenia blinked and asked. "What if I mix Celestial energy with my Yang energy when dual cultivating?"

Mirrory, Valeria, and Tatyana's eyes widened, and they said simultaneously. "You can't do that!"

Yasenia and the others were startled at their outburst and asked, curious. "Why not?"

Tatyana said it simply. "Even this body of mine wouldn't be able to come out unscathed, so make your assumptions if you injected it in any of these juniors."

Their faces twitched with dread. Yasenia got thoughtful as her blood dripped on top of the egg, drenching its surface slowly. "Would it benefit your real body, mom?"

Tatyana got thoughtful. "I don't know. I may benefit a little if you inject every bit of Celestial Energy you have into it. Still, I can't tell you if we don't try. However, releasing Celestial Yang energy is also extremely pleasurable, so you should prepare yourself when you do so."

Yasenia nodded. Suddenly, they heard Angel exclaim as she pointed at the egg. "Look, look!"

Their eyes focused on the egg, and they saw Yasenia's drops of blood disappearing from the eggshell. However, looking closer, they discovered that it was being absorbed by it.

Yasenia's eyes widened, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face.

Yasenia's tail wagged, and she looked at Tatyana excitedly. "Look, mom! It is absorbing my blood!"

Tatyana caressed her head softly and nodded, "Good Job. Keep at it."

They all looked on curiously. Yasenia saw that her blood had disappeared entirely and guessed that her blood output was insufficient.

The white eggshell began changing when a frown started appearing on Yasenia's face.

They saw colors appearing from the top and bottom, slowly transforming the simple egg from a pure white to a purple and golden-colored egg.

Yasenia blinked, confused, "Why is it changing?"

Kali was very sensitive to life, so she more or less understood what was happening. It was more of a hunch than anything else, but she said it anyway. "I think it is absorbing your blood and transforming. It seems that the reason for it to be a white egg is not as simple as hiding its rarity. It may integrate your bloodline with it, evolving into a new species or enhancing its own potential."

Evelyn speculated after Kali's guess, "So, Is it a rare dragon species that use lineages higher than itself to enhance its own bloodline? Is that why Yasenia's previous blood couldn't awaken it? If that's so, it is quite interesting."

Tatyana was also curious. "Plenty of races use similar methods, so it isn't out of the question. There are plenty of strange creatures in the World. However, this is quite a bad evolution trait unless its parents can also hatch the egg at will. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to be born unless the parents use a higher level creature for it to hatch."

Yasenia nodded, then asked somewhat anxiously. "Will my children also be like this?"

Tatyana shrugged, "I don't know. Little treasure, you are the first of your species. We don't even know if your children will be born in a dragon or humanoid form. We don't even know the gestation period."

The dragoness was stumped at such a nonchalant reaction. However, it was true, and she couldn't refute it. "Right… By the way, how much blood does it need? It is sucking quite a lot."

Valeria frowned. "Yasenia dear, can you speed up your bleeding? I feel that once the colors and patterns on the egg are completed, it will need plenty of nourishment. The more, the stronger its potential will be."

Yasenia looked that seven-tenths of the egg was painted with beautiful purple and golden patterns and asked. "Can it suck all my blood?"

Kali and Valeria frowned a bit and discussed with each other. Finally, Kali said. "No, your blood is very pure, so it will be much more efficient. You will lose at most seven or eight liters of blood. With your regeneration, you are out of danger. However, don't worry; Valeria and I will keep an eye on you."

Yasenia nodded, and her following actions gave them a minor scare.

Yasenia first stood up and walked in a circle around the egg to surround it with her underbelly. With the egg nestled there, Yasenia's tail changed to a sword shape and slashed her stomach open.

Their hearts almost jumped to their throat as blood flowed from the large gash as a small waterfall.

They all wanted to slap the reckless dragoness. Andrea said, holding her temper. "Dear, don't do that! That area of yours is a sensitive spot; what if you damage something irreversibly!? That's near the dantian!"

Yasenia saw their pale faces and laughed softly. "Don't worry; I wouldn't permanently injure myself for it. I know how resilient my body truly is. I can close this wound in ten seconds as long as I will it."

Of course, they perfectly knew it but seeing the egg sucking all that blood and trembling as if it was excited made all of them want to punch the little creature. 'If you don't break your back in the future to help Yasenia see how we spank you!'

Tatyana frowned and grumbled, "This little sucker is being too greedy. Let's call it Sucker once it is born."

Yasenia snorted, "No, what kind of bad name is that?"

The others also snorted, thinking that Tatyana's name was suitable. Evelyn complained. "Hmph, it deserves it for being a greedy beast."

Yasenia shook her head and smiled."I've already thought of a name! So no, we won't call it Sucker."

Cecile asked curiously. "Which one?"

Yasenia smiled proudly, "Since its shell is purple and gold. The name will be Purplegold!"

Everyone entered a coughing fit and almost coughed up a lung. 'What kind of crappy name is that!? Isn't Sucker a better name than that!?'

However, while everyone was dying of grievances because of the shitty name, the mother of the dragoness nodded and said in admiration. "A good name, as expected of my daughter. Your taste is truly superb."

The surprise they got from hearing that was so high that they all hiccuped.

"Nonono, how is that a good name!? You better not use something like that!" Evelyn intervened, only to receive one confused golden and another red gaze.

Seeing the sincerity in their confusion was enough to leave Evelyn and the others almost speechless. 'They are serious!?'

Andrea woke up from her stupor and said seriously, her tone leaving for no options to say no. "My love, we will be naming our children in the future. You leave it to us."

Yasenia blinked twice, confused.

However, since Andrea's gaze was deep and domineering, the dragoness wagged her tail and nodded like an obedient little wife. She felt her heart fluttering when those light-green eyes looked at her so seriously.

"Okay, I will listen to darling."

If Andrea spoke with such a face and tone to Yasenia, only nods would follow whatever the heroic woman said!

Andrea almost had her heart stop at that sneaky cuteness attack. 'Ugh, how can my love be so adorable!'

She sat beside Yasenia and patted her head, kissing her tenderly. "Good girl. I will give them a perfect name, don't worry. You just have to leave everything to me."

Yasenia leaned on her and purred comfortably. "I'll listen to whatever darling says~."

The others couldn't help but blush slightly at Yasenia's obedient self. 'My heart~, I can't!'

After a minute, Angel suddenly exclaimed, "It stopped absorbing blood!"

Yasenia left Andrea's embrace and looked at the egg she was nestling. The dragoness and Kali acted simultaneously and healed Yasenia's wound, rapidly closing the sliced stomach.

When Yasenia lowered her snout to clean the egg, she saw it tremble and then...

*Crack*

The egg began hatching!
