Lin Mo: I've got a mythical beast egg! I don't even know her, why is she being so nice to me?

Looking at the two massive Divine Beast eggs, which were taller than him just standing there and radiated terrifying Spiritual Energy.

Lin Mo stared blankly for a long time before recovering from the sense of unreality.

“Um... Senior Yang...”

“How should we... handle these two eggs?”

He pointed at the two eggs and asked with some hesitation.

“That's simple.”

“Young friend, just put them away.”

Upon hearing this, Fierce Sword King waved his hand decisively.

“Just... put them away?”

Lin Mo was startled.

“But isn't that inappropriate?”

“After all, these were obtained only after Senior Heaven Burning personally stepped forward...”

“I'm an outsider, taking her spoils of war. What if she becomes displeased...”

He certainly didn't want to be saddled with the accusation of “embezzling a Grand Elder's property” before even entering the Holy Land.

“No, no, no, young friend, you misunderstand.”

Fierce Sword King saw Lin Mo's worry and quickly explained with a smile:

“Grand Elder Heaven Burning always acts according to her own whims.”

“Since, as she left, she deliberately tossed these two eggs in front of you, instead of taking them back or handing them to me.”

“That indicates that this is something she is giving to you.”

Although Huang Feiyan never explicitly stated it, as an old-timer who had been in the Holy Land for many years,

Fierce Sword King thoroughly understood the temperament of that Grand Elder.

These two priceless Divine Beast Remnant eggs were clearly a meeting gift from her to this young man!

“G-given to me?”

“Ah, this...”

Hearing this explanation, Lin Mo was stunned again.

He looked at the two eggs and felt they were burning hot to handle.

Such precious items, valuable enough to make countless Mighty Experts fight tooth and nail outside, were just given to him?

But the problem is... he doesn't know the other party at all, even now!

He doesn't even know what she looks like!

Why would such a prominent figure he's never met be so good to him?

Is it just because of that sacred sun token?

Or is it because of... his Taiyin Sacred Body?

“Hey, Brother Lin, stop overthinking it!”

“You've hit the big time!”

Lei Jingxiao, who was standing nearby, couldn't watch anymore and leaned closer.

“What does this mean?”

“It means Grand Elder Heaven Burning finds you pleasing to the eye! She treats you as one of her own!”

“Tsk tsk tsk... giving Divine Beast eggs, and specifically asking to see you...”

“Brother Lin, I have a premonition.”

“It probably won't be long before your status in the Holy Land far surpasses me, the so-called Ninth Sequence!”

“At that point, maybe even I will have to rely on your influence to live!”

Lei Jingxiao had a teasing expression, but the envy in his eyes was genuine.

“Brother Lei, you jest.”

Lin Mo gave a wry smile.

“Senior Heaven Burning favoring me so much makes me feel overwhelmed, and even... a little panicked.”

There is no such thing as a free lunch; he understood this principle.

This sudden goodwill made him feel a sense of unreality.

“Oh, come on, you have the capital for this! Why panic?”

“Alright, stop babbling.”

Just then, Mu Yurou, who had been staring at the two eggs, suddenly cut in.

Her eyes shining, she looked at the two enormous eggs, appearing completely greedy.

“If you really don't want these two eggs...”

“Then give them to me!”

“Hehe, these are Divine Beast Remnants!”

“If they grow up, they'll be two ready-made Saint Realm fighters!”

“Tsk tsk, when I go out, with an Azure Luan on the left and a Phoenix on the right, the spectacle... that would be incredibly impressive!”

The more Mu Yurou thought about it, the better it seemed, as if she could already see herself riding a Divine Beast through the city, receiving worship from thousands.

“Oh?”

“If you don't find them too hot to handle, then take them.”

“I have no objection.”

Lin Mo glanced at her, shrugged, and gave her a look that said, “Be my guest.”

He had noticed something earlier.

When the name “Burning Heaven Holy Venerable” was mentioned, the girl clearly shuddered in fright, and her face changed color.

She looked like a mouse hearing the name of a cat.

Clearly, she knew the Saint Venerable's great reputation and was very familiar with her style of doing things!

Therefore, Lin Mo concluded that the girl was just running her mouth.

If he really asked her to take them? She wouldn't dare, even if she borrowed ten times the courage!

Sure enough.

Hearing Lin Mo so generously offer the eggs to her.

The originally excited Mu Yurou's smile instantly froze on her face.

She looked at the two eggs, then at Lin Mo's teasing expression, and her own look became evasive.

“Ahem ahem... well...”

She gave two dry laughs and explained nervously:

“Sigh, I thought about it, and these are just two eggs, after all.”

“How many resources would it take to hatch them and raise them to adulthood?”

“Your Grandma here is currently poor; how could I afford to raise such Gold-Swallowing Beasts?”

“If you calculate it... it's a completely losing business!”

“I won't do something that results in a loss!”

Saying this, as if to prove her resolve, she waved her hand vigorously and said with a look of disdain:

“You take them and play with them yourself!”

“This girl doesn't care for them!”

Not only that.

She seemed to recall something else and frantically tossed the nirvana fruit she was holding to Lin Mo, as if it were a hot potato.

“And this! I'm not interested in this nirvana fruit either!”

“Take it all!”

“Take it away! Take it all away!”

Mu Yurou handed it over so decisively, afraid that if she hesitated for a second, she would become entangled in some Karma with the item.

She was truly scared!

Are you kidding? That's Burning Heaven Holy Venerable!

The legendary Devil Head known for her explosive temper, who would wipe out entire clans at the slightest disagreement!

If she found out that she took her spoils of war, or fought over items with someone she favored... even if she hid back in Tianji Hall, she'd probably be dragged out and skinned alive!

For the sake of her life, this immense fortune should be left for Lin Mo, the “Connected One,” to enjoy!

“Since that is the case... I will reluctantly accept them.”

Seeing that no one dared to show interest in these items, Lin Mo stopped being coy.

With a wave of his hand, he immediately stored the two Divine Beast Remnant eggs and the nirvana fruit into his Storage Ring.

In an instant, his net worth soared countless times!

A definite wave of wealth!

“Hmph, my guess was right.”

Seeing Lin Mo put the items away, Mu Yurou finally let out a sigh of relief, completely relaxing, and muttered softly:

“This guy really has great Luck protecting him; even Big Shots of that caliber favor him.”

“As long as I stay by his side, I can turn danger into safety and misfortune into blessing!”

“Phew... now I don't have to worry about being killed by Bad Luck.”

Although this experience was thrilling, it verified her judgment.

The tactic of clinging to a powerful figure is indeed effective!

However, as her mind relaxed, physical exhaustion and weakness surged over her like a tide.

“Oh no... I'm starting to see stars again.”

Mu Yurou rubbed her temples, feeling dizzy.

“Everyone, I can't take it anymore, I need to go rest first.”

“We can talk later.”

After speaking, she didn't linger, swaying as if drunk, and returned to her room.

Seeing this, Formation Grand Master Gu Jian also cupped his hands.

“Then I will also return to my room to calm down.”

“What I saw and heard today was too shocking; even my old bones can't quite handle it.”

After saying that, he also found a guest room to rest.

Only the three of them—Lin Mo and the others—remained on the deck.

“Alright, the two of you should also go rest.”

“For the rest of the journey, I will watch over the flying boat's progress.”

Fierce Sword King glanced at the exhausted Lei Jingxiao and Lin Mo, and said gently.

“Yes, thank you, Elder Yang!”

“To be honest, after experiencing so many heart-stopping events, I am truly exhausted right now; I feel like my bones are about to fall apart.”

Lei Jingxiao did not refuse. After all, his injuries had not fully healed, and after all that commotion, he was genuinely weak and urgently needed recovery.

Lin Mo also nodded.

“Thank you for your hard work, Senior Yang.”

It wasn't that he was truly that tired.

Mainly, he really wanted to find a private place to contact his Younger Sister.

And ask her to help inquire... if Sword Old, that living fossil, knows anything about this mysterious Burning Heaven Holy Venerable?

After all, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles!

Owe such a huge favor before even entering the door—he couldn't help but feel uneasy about it!
