Tianmiao and Yan Rui strolled while shopping and bought some items. Yan Rui bought quite a few small gifts, saying she wanted to bring them back for her senior brothers and sisters. She also bought Tianmiao a gift, a delicate sachet that could refresh and wake the mind. Such an adorable Yan Rui made Tianmiao want to pinch her bun-style hair again.
"I wonder how Senior Brother is doing in the Secret Realm. It’s still nine days before he comes out, ah, so long," Yan Rui sighed as she walked.
"Perhaps, this time the Secret Realm doesn’t stay open for ten days?" Tianmiao said softly.
"No way? I heard from Senior Brother and the others that the Secret Realm is always open for ten days, no exception," Yan Rui mused, tilting her head, then shook it. "But, there’s never anything absolute. What if this time it really ends early? Ending early is fine, I just hope Senior Brother has gained something."
...
Inside the Secret Realm, Luo Yunyi hadn’t noticed anything unusual; he was just subconsciously chasing after the little yellow chick.
The little yellow chick struggled to fly forward with its tiny wings. After a few steps, it stopped to wait for Luo Yunyi to catch up. Several times it almost fell from mid-air, making Luo Yunyi’s heart jump with fear.
The man and the chick continued to fly forward, and somehow the grass beneath their feet had turned golden.
Looking ahead, Luo Yunyi was stunned to find a gigantic tree.
"Chirp chirp!" The little yellow chick called twice to Luo Yunyi and flew towards the giant tree, then directly vanished from Luo Yunyi’s sight.
Luo Yunyi quickened his pace to reach the tree but saw no sign of the little yellow chick. However, the aura emanating from the tree clearly belonged to the little yellow chick.
Could the little yellow chick be up there?
Luo Yunyi tried to fly up using his Treasure Sword but found he couldn’t activate it on his back.
He thought for a moment, rolled up his sleeves, and began—climbing the tree!
The enormous tree had a few protruding knots, just right for use in grabbing and stepping, and without much effort, he reached halfway up the tree.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared in front of him, growing increasingly dazzling. Luo Yunyi squinted, adjusted his angle, trying not to face the golden light, but it gradually enveloped him, making him feel as if he were being roasted by a raging fire, with the sweat on his forehead evaporating into wisps of smoke right after it appeared.
This feeling was actually quite painful, constantly saying give up, go down, it hurts too much.
But Luo Yunyi gritted his teeth and refused to let go of his grip, instead stepping up another level.
No idea how much time passed, but Luo Yunyi felt like he was about to dry up, relying solely on willpower to lift his hands higher until he touched a branch stretching out from the bird’s nest. Having something to hold on to made it much easier, and using the branch for leverage, he moved his waist and flipped up.
Suddenly, the unbearable golden light vanished, and he seemed to be in a gigantic extradimensional space, continuously enveloped by a comforting aura. At the center of a place where the boundaries couldn’t be seen, a bright light flickered, and Luo Yunyi hurried forward. There was a fairly small bird’s nest inside, and peacefully placed within was a golden yellow egg, slightly larger than a palm.
This...
Luo Yunyi gently picked up the egg, which lightly moved in the palm of his hand.
Is the little yellow chick inside this?
For some reason, deep down Luo Yunyi was certain of this.
Luo Yunyi gently stroked the egg in his hand, his heart filled with joy. He felt he had a special connection with this little creature.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Luo Yunyi’s ear.
"Fortunate one, do you wish to care for the egg in your hand, and accompany it forever?"
