Chapter 199: Golden Egg
At this moment, a light rain began to fall from the sky. Xuan Ziming was dead, and it seemed that the source of all evil had been extinguished. However, Ye Huan knew that this was merely the beginning—a beginning of the rise of Huaxia. Moreover, in three months, the Nine Provinces might face a tremendous disaster.
"Nine Yin Cave, whether you are righteous or evil, if you seek revenge, then come!"
A glimmer of determination flashed across Ye Huan's face. He had already made up his mind that once he returned to Huaxia, he would immediately prepare for the upcoming battle. He did not seek to unify the Nine Provinces, but at the very least, he wanted to fortify Huaxia like an impregnable fortress. With this thought in mind, Ye Huan felt a surge of relief; he was grateful that this would not be a battle fought alone. After all, he had companions—Weiyang, Zuo Yi, Wang Pengfei… the entire Dragon Hall, and even Huaxia's guardian beast: the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon!
The Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon?!
Suddenly feeling that the surroundings were a bit too quiet, Ye Huan glanced around and immediately saw that nearly all members of Dragon Hall had fainted due to the entanglement of vast Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within the Six-Star Spider Web Formation. They lay sprawled in various positions. As for the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, there wasn't even a shadow in sight!
"Did that guy slip away?"
Muttering to himself, Ye Huan searched high and low but still couldn't find the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon. He began to think that it was indeed possible; after all, aside from its strength, that dragon had shown quite a lack of character.
Just as Ye Huan continued to feel uneasy, a soft thud echoed nearby. A fifty-centimeter tall, gleaming Golden Egg rolled right in front of him and came to a stop after bumping against his legs, as if expressing indignation at what Ye Huan had just said.
Feeling the unusual movement beneath his feet and confirming with his eyes that it was indeed an egg, Ye Huan recalled that Xuan Ziming had mentioned that the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon had emerged from an egg after being nurtured with one-third of his blood…
"An egg? Could this be the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon's egg? It seems I haven't had a fried egg in ages..."
Cautiously picking up the Golden Egg before him, Ye Huan couldn't help but think back to how he hadn't eaten a fried egg since arriving in this world. He murmured to himself about it when suddenly, without warning, the Golden Egg seemed to be swung by an unseen force and smashed directly onto Ye Huan's forehead!
Bang!
The sound of the Golden Egg colliding with Ye Huan's forehead echoed through the air. Although it was still drizzling, Ye Huan felt as if countless golden stars were swirling around him, leaving him disoriented and unable to distinguish between east, south, west, and north. All that remained was a single sensation: dizziness!
After a while, shaking his head to clear the fog from the impact, Ye Huan looked at the Golden Egg in his hand with surprise. He dared not play with it any longer and hurriedly stored it in his Spatial Ring, planning to study it thoroughly back in Huaxia. Otherwise, when the members of Dragon Hall woke up, he feared he would faint from the shock…
Just as Ye Huan secured the Golden Egg, two members of Dragon Hall, Lo Shaobin and Yang Guangyao, groaned simultaneously and slowly regained consciousness. The first thing they did was grab an M4A1 assault rifle and cautiously surveyed their surroundings. However, upon seeing that only Ye Huan was still standing, their eyes widened in disbelief. Yang Guangyao even slapped his own head and exclaimed, "I must be dreaming, I must be..."
"Stop pretending to be dead. Go, your mission is to search this area thoroughly. If there are any survivors..."
Looking at Yang Guangyao with a mix of amusement and exasperation, Ye Huan didn’t hold back. After giving him some instructions, he made a gesture across his throat, indicating for Yang Guangyao to eliminate any living beings nearby.
It wasn't that Ye Huan was cruel; although Xuan Ziming was dead, his death would undoubtedly cause a significant stir in Jiuzhou. If no one knew that Xuan Ziming had died at the hands of Ye Huan, it could serve as a form of protection. Moreover, even if someone connected the dots back to him, by then, Ye Huan would likely have returned to Huaxia and stabilized the nation using the arms at his disposal.
Receiving Ye Huan's orders, Yang Guangyao might not have understood his leader's reasoning but chose to obey nonetheless. The reason was simple: Ye Huan was their leader—a man who could infiltrate the palace of the Southern Xiongnu Empire and kill Xuan Ziming, a man capable of leading Huaxia to greatness!
As Yang Guangyao walked away slowly, scanning over the other members of Dragon Hall, Ye Huan was unwilling to waste more time there. He pointed at Lo Shaobin and instructed, "Lo Shaobin, see if you can wake them up. We’ll leave soon."
"Leave? Young Master, there are so many treasures in this palace! Are we really just going to leave them behind?"
"We will take them for sure, but not now. Just do as I say!"
Sighing, Ye Huan wondered why he wouldn’t want to haul all the treasures from the Southern Xiongnu Empire's palace back to Huaxia? However, in order not to let anyone know they had been in the Southern Xiongnu Empire, he had no choice but to bury all his greed deep within.
Nodding in vague understanding, Lo Shaobin didn’t press further but followed Ye Huan's orders to wake up each member of Dragon Hall. After Yang Guangyao returned, they swiftly retreated from the capital of the Southern Xiongnu Empire and headed towards Tianyue City in Huaxia.
…
Two days passed, and almost the entire Nine Provinces Continent received the news: Sovereign Xuan Ziming of the Southern Xiongnu Empire was dead!
This seemed to be a prelude, or perhaps a signal, but there was no doubt that with Xuan Ziming's death, the Nine Provinces Continent was plunged into chaos. Not only were there countries eyeing the lands of the Southern Xiongnu Empire, but even those who had previously refrained from action due to the empire's formidable presence were now launching wars the moment they heard the news. In summary, it could be described in one word: turmoil!
The East was in chaos, and so was the West. The entire Nine Provinces Continent was in disarray. Even Eastern Japan Fusang, which had just been forced back to its small island by Ye Huan, began a new round of invasions against surrounding islands. It was evident what kind of war-torn era Xuan Ziming's death had ushered in.
However, as the instigator, Ye Huan felt more relaxed than anyone else. Although he had only returned to Tianyue City for an hour, he had already enjoyed the treatment of a hero. Both Zuo Yi and Weiyang looked at him with a different gaze, filled with respect. Even when Ye Huan took a hot bath, Zuo Yi somehow managed to bring in two beautiful women to serve him, which made Ye Huan quite embarrassed. He had to send them away before he dared to undress.
"Ah, finally back..."
Sitting in the bathtub and stretching comfortably, the fatigue from many days finally lifted from Ye Huan at that moment. He murmured softly to himself, but before he could close his eyes and enjoy it fully, a knock on the door suddenly startled him. He wondered if Zuo Yi had sent those two women back again...
"Ye Huan, are you there?"
A clear female voice rang out. This time, it was evident that the visitor was not the previous two women, but it made Ye Huan even more anxious because he recognized that voice belonged to Han Cai'er!
He sat up abruptly in the bathtub, quickly dried himself with a towel and put on his clothes. Cautiously, he approached the door and opened it, only to find that it wasn't just Han Cai'er who had come; she was accompanied by Han Xuan!
'Why are both of them here? Could it be they are here to pressure me into marriage?!'
A bad premonition crossed his mind as Ye Huan awkwardly forced a smile and asked the two women, "What brings you here?"
"Yes, we came to say goodbye..."
With a smile on her face, Han Xuan spoke first, her eyes fixed intently on Ye Huan as if trying to read something from his expression. However, she was disappointed; ever since becoming a Cultivator, Ye Huan's face had shown little beyond seriousness and cold smiles—there were hardly any other expressions left.
Knowing how Han Cai'er and Han Xuan felt about him, Ye Huan thought it would be inappropriate not to say anything at this moment. He hesitantly replied, "It's fine to go back; after all, you have been away from home for some time..."
"Well, before we leave, there’s something our sisters need to tell you..."
Nodding, as if she had already anticipated this outcome, Han Cai'er and Han Xuan showed little emotional fluctuation. Instead, it was Han Cai'er, the younger sister, who spoke up.
Upon hearing that there was something to discuss, Ye Huan's curiosity was piqued by the serious expressions on the two girls' faces. He hurriedly asked, "What could be so important that you both came here together?"
"It's like this. During the time you were away, my sister and I carefully reflected on the situation back in Huaxia Imperial Capital and ultimately reached a conclusion: something might have gone wrong in the capital with Zhao Ziyu..."
Perhaps wanting to surprise Ye Huan, Han Cai'er maintained a serious tone, making it clear she wasn't joking. This only left Ye Huan astonished rather than surprised, and he quickly interjected, "What could possibly be wrong with Zhao Ziyu? Isn't she the queen of Huaxia Nation now?"
"Maybe! Anyway, since you don't care for us much, I'll be honest with you. As a man, you should take the initiative to go to the capital and check things out. Let me calculate... one week, two weeks... nine weeks, ten weeks... Ye Huan, it's been a full ten weeks since you last saw Zhao Ziyu, hasn't it?"
With her hands on her hips, it was evident that Han Cai'er was quite concerned about Ye Huan. She even pointed a finger at him and scolded him, leaving Ye Huan feeling awkward and unsure of how to respond. Fortunately for him, Han Cai'er and Han Xuan were only there to bid farewell. After leaving him with a remark to figure things out on his own, they chose to leave one after another.
Once they were far enough away from Ye Huan's line of sight, Han Cai'er turned to her sister Han Xuan and whispered, "Sister, are we really just going back to Southern Xiongnu like this? I can't help but feel a bit unwilling."
"Silly girl, I know you're reluctant too. But going back doesn't mean we're giving up; it's about paving a smooth path for Ye Huan's future expedition into Southern Xiongnu..."
With a light laugh, she gently brushed her delicate fingers across Han Cai'er's nose. The two sisters then exited Tianyue City and headed towards the war-torn Southern Xiongnu Empire...
