523: An egg that calls for mommy?

“Anxious, anxious.”

“Don’t worry, things aren’t that bad yet.”

“The one who attacked the fleet is one of my Clones. I can handle it in minutes.”

Akatosh said with a chuckle, digging his ear.

Immediately, he transformed into a massive Dragon phantom.

Starry light swirled within the phantom, as if it contained the entire Myriad Worlds.

As he opened a spatial rift, he asked, “If I leave now, will I still need to come to the company later?”

Qin Yang rubbed his forehead and said, “No need.”

Akatosh: “Then remember to send me the meeting minutes.”

Qin Yang’s anger level increased by one. “If you dilly-dally any longer, I’ll have you buried with me.”

Akatosh paused, then quickly dove into the spatial rift.

“That troublesome fellow.”

Qin Yang shook his head and sighed, amused by the old Dragon’s Qi.

Immediately, he looked at Elebella and said, “Holy Consort, until the crisis in the Elf World is resolved, please remain in the Natural Divine Realm for now.”

“Understood.” Elebella nodded slightly.

Without Qin Yang explicitly stating it, Elebella knew what he meant.

The Natural Divine Realm was closer to the Elf World, and casting Holy Light from there onto the Elf World would not result in significant loss.

“Thank you, Elebella.”

Salaman suddenly said, her eyes filled with guilt.

Previously, she held deep prejudices against Humans.

Because of this, her relationship with Elebella, who protected Humans, was extremely poor.

She even harbored thoughts of having Elves enter the Human World and usurp it.

For Elebella, whose power source was Human faith, this was akin to pulling the rug out from under her.

By all accounts, Elebella should have hated her to death.

Yet now, the other party was helping her without expecting anything in return.

This not only moved Salaman but also made her feel like a despicable deity.

Elebella smiled gently and said, “Whether it’s the Human World or the Elf World, both belong to the Divine Emperor. I merely did what I should. Of course, I also hope you can abandon your prejudices against Humans and assist the Divine Emperor with me.”

“I will.”

Salaman nodded heavily, giving Qin Yang a deep look.

Qin Yang was extremely pleased with Elebella’s performance.

To be honest.

If it weren't for Chu Mengxuan having a head start.

Elebella would have been the best candidate for the main consort.

Her inclusive and gentle qualities were perfectly suited to be the mother of the realm.

However, the Young Empress was Qin Yang’s original intention, and her position was equally unshakable.

Qin Yang never hoped that Chu Mengxuan would become as mature as Elebella.

On the contrary, he hoped she could forever maintain her innocence and purity, which was the most precious thing.

“Achoo!”

On the Planar Mothership No. 001.

Chu Mengxuan, in her hibernation pod, let out a loud sneeze.

She rubbed her delicate nose and mumbled sleepily, “Who’s talking bad about me?!”

Just then, He Zhiyi’s voice came from nearby.

“You’re awake, Her Majesty the Empress.”

Chu Mengxuan turned her head and saw He Zhiyi and Ye Qiuning sitting at the bar in front of the porthole.

They were both wearing gray-white standard uniforms.

The close-fitting cut perfectly showcased their figures.

This was not some kind of uniform fetish, but a special kind of “space equipment” with attributes that matched the space-time element.

When the Planar Mothership traversed the Annihilation Sea, it had to continuously activate a space-time force field.

Professionals’ equipment varied greatly, and the elemental attributes they matched were also different.

Therefore, when the Mothership was in transit, everyone had to wear this space equipment to stabilize the space-time force field.

This equipment even allowed Professionals to temporarily exit the cabin and fight in the Annihilation Sea.

Chu Mengxuan sat up from the hibernation pod.

She pulled up the zipper of her space equipment and mumbled, “This outfit is still too small. The zipper almost burst open just from a sneeze…”

Then, she looked out the porthole, her beautiful eyes widening in admiration, “What a beautiful view!”

Outside the porthole, aurora-like clouds floated.

But those were not clouds.

They were spatial refractions formed by the churning space-time currents.

Those colorful lights, emanating from different worlds and intertwining, created the magnificent scene before her.

Chu Mengxuan quickly walked to the bar and complained to her two companions, “With such a beautiful view, you should have woken me up!”

He Zhiyi, holding a cup of milk tea, said, “You sleep like a pig, smacking your lips and talking in your sleep. We couldn’t wake you up at all.”

“Let me have a sip of milk tea.”

Chu Mengxuan bit He Zhiyi’s milk tea straw, took a big slurp, and asked curiously, “What did I say in my dream?”

He Zhiyi and Ye Qiuning exchanged glances, both chuckling.

Chu Mengxuan’s eyes were clear; she didn’t understand why the two of them were laughing.

He Zhiyi laughed, “We were wondering what you dreamt about! Why did you say ‘Don’t touch my egg’? Did you dream you laid an egg?”

Chu Mengxuan was slightly stunned, her face instantly turning red.

Don’t mention it… He Zhiyi actually guessed correctly.

During this time, she kept having a strange dream.

In the dream, a large golden egg always followed her.

The eggshell had patterns like Dragon scales, looking extremely beautiful.

Moreover, this egg could even talk.

It would call her “Mama” in a childish voice.

From the sound, it seemed to be a little girl.

Chu Mengxuan even tried to find the Imperial Advisor to interpret the dream.

Zhang Lingxiao’s explanation was that dreaming of laying an egg hinted at new beginnings and growth, and at the same time, new ideas and plans might be brewing deep within. He advised Chu Mengxuan to prepare well to meet the upcoming challenges.

Chu Mengxuan felt it made sense.

They were about to embark on an expedition to another world; wouldn’t that be a challenge?

However.

She always felt that Zhang Lingxiao’s dream interpretation had a familiar flavor.

It was as if… she often saw it on those deceptive mini-programs.

Thinking this, Chu Mengxuan was very much looking forward to the upcoming challenges. She asked Ye Qiuning, “How much longer until we reach our destination?”

Ye Qiuning looked at the navigation plan and said, “We’ve been traveling through the Annihilation Sea for ten days now. If all goes well, we should reach the Elf World in another three days.”

“Yay!” Chu Mengxuan exclaimed, clenching her fists excitedly. “Before, we were always fighting in the infinite leveling grounds. I’ve figured out all the Asura Clan’s Moves, and it felt so boring. This time, we finally have some fresh opponents!”

“They’re not that fresh, though. Monsters like beastmen are also common in the Human World.”

Ye Qiuning shrugged and said, “I’m more looking forward to going to the Crescent Moon Elves’ Moon Viewing City.”

“Oh, right!” Chu Mengxuan suddenly remembered something and said, “Young Miss Hui Yue is a Crescent Moon Elf, isn’t she?”

The three of them wouldn’t have been able to reach the Grandmaster Tier so quickly without the help of Sword Spirit Hui Yue.

Her silver flames could devour and decompose Mental Energy, greatly weakening the power of monsters.

After long periods of fighting side-by-side, the three of them had long considered this “Sword Spirit” a friend.

“Yes.”

Ye Qiuning nodded. She looked at the space-time currents outside the porthole, her eyes full of anticipation, “I hope this journey can help her restore her Physical Body.”

“Oh, another sister added to the group.” He Zhiyi said with a smile.

Just as the three of them were chatting happily.

Suddenly, the light in the cabin dimmed, and red lights flashed.

“Is it an alarm!?”

The three at the bar were simultaneously startled, not yet realizing what was happening.

Just then, a huge black shadow flashed past outside the porthole.
