102: Each showing their unique abilities

Sure enough, when Su Ze leaned into Xu Yao's ear and whispered this specific incubation condition, her face immediately flushed red with embarrassment.

Because the incubation process could not be interrupted, it meant she not only had to put the egg into her bed but also incubate it every day like a hen hatching an egg.

She even had to carry the head-sized egg close to her body whenever she went out; no matter how she thought about it, it was just too strange.

Xu Yao even suspected whether Su Ze was playing a prank on her.

But Su Ze shook his head decisively and said, "You have to trust me, this really is its incubation condition. Think back to the scene when my first beast, the Void Spirit Turtle, hatched."

Xu Yao remembered that back then, Su Ze had inexplicably insisted on making her kiss his egg.

Looking at it now, that must have been its incubation condition.

"I haven't encountered this kind of incubation method in a long time either. If you really don't want it, then wait a while. There should be a new Gold-rank monster beast after some time," Su Ze said somewhat helplessly.

In his view, this egg's incubation method was already the most suitable for Xu Yao.

After all, the incubation methods for these demon beast eggs in the system were bizarre and varied; it was hard to determine what the next incubation method would be.

If it turned out to be extremely harsh and difficult to complete, the loss would outweigh the gain.

However, despite her face being bright red, Xu Yao still took the gold-rank monster beast egg from Su Ze's hand.

She had actually possessed a second contract slot for a long time, but she had never formed a contract.

This was because her first beast, the Azure Phoenix Butterfly, was a successful contract she only happened upon by chance through her father's help and her own good luck.

For this second beast, they couldn't afford a gold-rank monster beast egg on Xu Yiming's salary alone, so it had been delayed again and again.

Now that a gold-rank monster beast egg was right in front of her, Xu Yao didn't want to miss it; she didn't want to be left too far behind by Su Ze.

Under Su Ze's guidance, Xu Yao frowned as she pricked her finger and let her blood drip onto it.

After a flash of red light, this demon beast egg with its strange incubation condition successfully changed owners.

"Then... we'll head back first..." Xu Yao was the first to pick up her demon beast egg and run back to the room across the hall.

Wang Zi also left while pondering where to go for the incubation... Over the next few days, no one else saw the two of them except for Su Ze.

Because they were both busy displaying their own prowess to hatch their eggs.

Wang Zi had found a power plant outside the city. Since it supplied electricity to the Imperial Capital, not only was the power supply guaranteed to be sufficient—only ever having a surplus and never a deficit—but the fact that it would never allow the Imperial Capital to lose power meant it was also extremely stable.

After contacting his father, Wang Gui, and obtaining enough financial support, Wang Zi approached the owner of the power plant.

Relying on his 'wealth-approachable' charisma, he persuaded the plant manager to connect a line of surplus electricity entirely to the demon beast egg to begin the incubation, while he stayed by its side to ensure nothing went wrong.

Compared to Wang Zi, who spent a large amount of money to solve the incubation problem, Xu Yao's side appeared much simpler and easier.

Ever since she returned to her room with the egg, she had never come out again, and had not even gotten out of bed.

Xu Yao kept the egg inside her covers, using her body temperature to continuously incubate it.

As for meals, she relied entirely on Su Ze to bring them to her, and sometimes she would even act spoiled and ask Su Ze to feed her by hand.

Then she would have Su Ze take over her shifts, or... the two of them would incubate it together.

Soon, three days passed in a flash.

This period was time given to the contestants from the four Beast Taming Universities who had come from afar to rest and familiarize themselves with the environment.

Now, everyone had arrived and finished familiarizing themselves with the surroundings; the decennial Beast Taming Grand Competition was about to begin!

"Knock, knock!" Once Su Ze was ready, he knocked on Xu Yao's door.

Then he said from outside the door, "Xu Yao, I'm heading out first. Don't worry, I'll finish my battle quickly and come back; it won't affect bringing you food."

Just as he lifted his leg to leave, Xu Yao's voice came from inside the room, saying, "Brother Su Ze, wait a moment, I want to go too."

Su Ze asked in confusion, "Aren't you supposed to be incubating the demon beast egg? If you give up now, it might cause problems with its development."

"Its future level cap will be far inferior to a normal Gold-rank Demon Beast, maybe even worse than a Silver grade. Or... has the incubation already finished?"

Xu Yao denied from inside the room, "Not yet... but it's okay, I have a way to solve this problem. I don't want to miss Brother Su Ze's match, I have to go see it!"

"Alright then." Su Ze had no choice but to stand at the door and wait for Xu Yao to get ready and come out.

When the door finally opened, Su Ze was stunned. It took him a long while before he asked, "Are you sure you want to go out like this?"

Xu Yao nodded with a red face; she also knew that her current appearance was very strange.

She was wearing a very loose piece of clothing on her upper body, and the demon beast egg was tied tightly to her lower abdomen, then covered by the clothes.

This way, she could continuously use her body temperature to incubate the demon beast egg. The only problem was that she looked like a pregnant woman wearing maternity clothes.

Sure enough, when Su Ze appeared before everyone with Xu Yao, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

Especially Xu Yao's father, Xu Yiming; he almost fainted: "This... it's only been three days! Is the speed really this fast? Could it be they already had it before? But that shouldn't be right either!"

Among the people present, there was no shortage of Xu Yao's suitors; seeing this, their hearts shattered all over the floor.

Their beloved goddess, after not being seen for three days, actually had a big belly!

Finally, someone plucked up the courage to come forward and ask, "Xu Yao, what's going on with your stomach?"

After experiencing the initial embarrassment, Xu Yao was much more relaxed now.

She looked back at Su Ze beside her and suddenly revealed a small, mischievous smile, then answered honestly with a laugh, "This? It's all thanks to Brother Su Ze. In a little while longer, a new life will be born."

As soon as these words came out, wails of grief immediately erupted everywhere, and the shouts condemning the 'beast' Su Ze were incessant.

Even Kuang Yi, Li Heng, and Jiang Jianbin, who were going to compete with him, were no exception.

But the point they cared about was: "You deserve to die! The few of us are five or six years older than you and are still single, yet you've already... Ah, this is more painful than killing me!"

Su Ze took the blame with a forehead full of black lines, and looking at the triumphantly smiling Xu Yao beside him, he thought to himself: "Sooner or later, I'll make all of this become reality."

Although Xu Yao had played the others, she still whispered the truth of the matter into her father's ear.

While this made Xu Yiming breathe a sigh of relief, he also felt a bit of a sense of loss in his heart.

"I really thought I was about to have a grandson to hold."
