291: Chapter 291 "Two Hearts, Can They Still Live?"

A scream rang out from Tang Ruan's room.

By the time Hu Che, Yan Qing, Lang Lie, Fen Tian, and Heng Zhou arrived at the door almost simultaneously.

They saw Tang Ruan sitting on the floor, holding a pale green egg in both hands.

She was trembling with fear, and upon seeing them, she burst into tears with a "waa."

"Yan Qing... Yan Qing... Did I have a premature birth?

"Why is he only this big...

"I hadn't even taken two steps before he fell out."

Tang Ruan was emotional as she looked at the egg in her palm, which was not much bigger than a goose egg.

She Yan's eggs were dozens of times larger than hers.

No matter how she looked at it, she felt it was impossible for a Cub to hatch from it.

"Ruan Ruan, don't be afraid, don't move..."

Yan Qing approached her while trying to soothe her emotions.

Tang Ruan's hands were shaking uncontrollably, and she instinctively wanted to go to him.

But as soon as she moved, she remembered the egg in her hands and began to sob.

This must be a premature birth; if she hadn't walked so fast just now, nothing would have happened.

Yan Qing finally reached her side and carefully took the egg from Tang Ruan's hands.

After seeing the situation in the room, Heng Zhou immediately went to fetch the Witch Doctor.

Lang Lie found a small basket in the room that had been prepared for the egg in advance.

Yan Qing placed the egg into the soft basket and brought it next to the prepared chill-sensing grass.

He circulated his Supernatural Ability to keep the egg at a suitable temperature.

Fen Tian had already carried Tang Ruan onto the bed.

Hu Che held her hand tightly.

"It's okay, Mistress, it's okay."

Tang Ruan choked out, "Is he unable to hatch?"

If she had known, she wouldn't have listened to Yan Qing and would have worn the ring every day.

Hu Che: "It's okay, be good..."

Fen Tian leaned down and kissed Tang Ruan's forehead. "A-Wu, we're all here. The egg..."

He suddenly realized that he didn't know if the egg was actually okay either.

Even Xiao Yi was much larger than this egg when he was born.

After checking, the Witch Doctor hesitated to speak.

Yan Qing's expression turned cold, frightening the Witch Doctor into immediately kneeling down.

"Beast King, have mercy! Beast King, have mercy!"

Yan Qing: "Speak quickly!"

Witch Doctor: "Usually, we provide treatments based on the Goddess's physical condition.

"By all accounts, the egg should have been born in half a month.

"I don't know why this happened either."

Yan Qing took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart, and continued to ask, "How is the situation now?"

Witch Doctor: "It looks no different from a normal egg.

"But it's much smaller than expected... Whether it can hatch or not—"

"I understand," Yan Qing interrupted her.

He didn't want to hear any negative possibilities.

In the days that followed.

Yan Qing placed the egg directly in his own room to hatch it personally.

He completely handed over the affairs of the Beast Kingdom to Lang Lie and Heng Zhou.

He guarded the egg without leaving its side for a single step.

Except for the few of them and the Witch Doctor, no one was allowed to enter or leave his room.

Tang Ruan went to see them countless times every day.

Whether it was day or night.

Every time she walked in, Yan Qing's eyes were open.

He transformed into his Beast Form and coiled his body around the small basket containing the egg.

The room was filled with crystals that Fen Tian and Heng Zhou had found.

crystals were also piled up in layers upon his body.

He also continuously took the surrounding crystals into his mouth and placed them on his body.

But other than adjusting the positions of the crystals, he stared motionless at his egg, like an evil dragon guarding its treasure.

Tang Ruan felt a pang of sadness watching him.

She had never thought that Yan Qing, who seemed like such a calm beastman, would be so devoted to his Cub.

Even when Fen Tian was hatching Xiao Yi, he only guarded from the side and never transformed into his Beast Form to hold him in his embrace.

Just like that, a month passed.

The egg grew visibly larger to the naked eye.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Qing returned to his human form for the first time.

Tang Ruan then discovered that his body was covered in countless green and purple marks.

They were all "bruised" out by the crystals underneath his body.

The Witch Doctor checked the egg with her Supernatural Ability again.

"Something is beating!" she said excitedly.

Tang Ruan knew she was talking about the fetal heartbeat.

She also wanted to see it with her own eyes, and if Yan Qing could see it, he would likely feel much more at ease.

Suddenly, it occurred to Tang Ruan that they could see it!

The Witch Doctor left after finishing the examination.

After the Witch Doctor left.

Tang Ruan asked Lang Lie to close the door and found a piece of cloth to cover the window, blocking out all the sunlight.

Hu Che asked in confusion, "Mistress, what are you doing?"

Tang Ruan looked at Yan Qing. "Do you want to see the situation inside the egg?"

Yan Qing's expression sharpened as he suddenly remembered that when he helped She Yan hatch eggs in the past, he had used his Supernatural Ability to illuminate them.

He could see to what extent the life inside the egg had developed.

He was both nervous and expectant.

He placed his hand on one side of the egg and slowly activated his Supernatural Ability.

A white light emitted from his palm, passing through the thick eggshell and revealing everything inside the egg clearly.

Inside the eggshell, which was covered in spiderweb-like blood vessels, were two bright red little fleshy balls.

The little fleshy balls were beating rhythmically.

"What is this?" Lang Lie was shocked.

Hu Che and Fen Tian were equally shocked.

Hu Che: "How amazing."

Fen Tian: "Is there a beastman inside?"

Only Heng Zhou appeared relatively calm; he had seen the oviparous monsters that the Former Beast God had failed to cultivate.

No matter what they looked like upon hatching, the growth process inside the egg was the same.

Heng Zhou: "Not entirely yet."

Yan Qing silently watched those two beating spots.

He frowned for a moment, then turned to look at Tang Ruan. "It seems... different from what we saw last time."

Last time, there seemed to be only one beating spot.

Tang Ruan looked at those two bright red fetal heartbeats, her breath hitching with excitement. "It indeed is a bit different from ordinary eggs..."

Yan Qing immediately became nervous.

"How is it different?"

Tang Ruan: "He has two fetal heartbeats, which means two hearts."

Hearing this, Yan Qing took a step back.

"Two hearts, can they still live?"

Tang Ruan had never seen Yan Qing look so panicked.

In his panic, he only thought of the worst possible outcome.

At this moment, even Fen Tian's thinking was much clearer than his.

"It's two Cubs!" Fen Tian exclaimed in surprise.

Tang Ruan gave him a thumbs-up.

Having received Tang Ruan's praise, Fen Tian raised his head and said, "The Dragon Clan once had eggs that birthed twin dragons."

Yan Qing widened his eyes in disbelief; there were actually two Cubs in this egg.

Two Cubs in one egg!

He suddenly had two Cubs!

Tang Ruan looked at Yan Qing's reaction with both heartache and amusement. "Didn't you know that a double-yolk egg... can hatch two Cubs?"

How did he survive these three hundred years in the Snake Tribe?

Yan Qing was so happy he was almost on the verge of tears.

He walked over and pulled Tang Ruan into his arms.

"Thank you, Ruan Ruan!

"Thank you!

"I am the last of the Fire Snake Clan.

"I didn't know..."

Tang Ruan also hugged him tightly. "From now on, you won't be..."

"Shouldn't you also thank me?"
