Who Stole My Eggs?

Chapter 23 - I



As the saying said, a person could be soft-spoken and hardhearted, but Xie Zuo did not intend to give in so quickly. He didn’t ask for it; but Huo Yao forced it on him.

After drinking, Xie Zuo still kept a distance from Huo Yao. When he went to bed at night and saw Huo Yao entering the house, he pressed himself against the wall, expressing his determination to stay away from him.

Huo Yao did not get on the kang but packed his clothes, saying, “I will sleep in the kitchen these days; you have a good rest.”

Xie Zuo closed his eyes tightly and remained silent.

“There’s just one thing,” Huo Yao warned him coldly, “You must never ask for the blood of other demons casually in the future. Remember this.”

Listen to this tone; this was like a lesson to a child! Xie Zuo turned over and sat up, “Don’t worry about me.”

In fact, after Xie Zuo woke up, he realized that Alya had been misled by his words. He didn’t want Alya to sleep with him, he simply wanted to drink the blood from her mouth. Alya was the Wolf King of the Northern Plains and had thousands of years of cultivation. Her blood could feed Xie Zuo.

But Xie Zuo was so hungry that he forgot the rules of the demon world, and he still felt a little weak after making such a big mistake. However, if he was weak, he was weak. Huo Yao couldn’t reprimand him like this!

Huo Yao snorted coldly, “You are the one I care about. If you dare to recruit that wolf again, I will destroy all your puppets. If you don’t believe me, try it.” After threatening Xie Zuo, he opened the door and went out.

Xie Zuo angrily picked up the pillow and threw it at him. The pillow fell into the air and rolled to the ground, covered in dust.

Shi Yuan laid down in the kitchen and saw Huo Yao coming in with a baggage, “You haven’t coaxed him yet? Are you not allowed to sleep in that room?”

Coax? There was no such word in Huo Yao’s code of conduct. All along, he would conquer anyone who disobeyed him.

Shi Yuan looked at his confused expression and asked tentatively: “Have you apologized?”

Apologize? Except when facing Heavenly Father, Huo Yao had never apologized to anyone and did not need to apologize.

Yes, Shi Yuan knew that the Great Thunder Deity was used to being aloof and would only compensate with actions if he made a mistake, he would never say it openly.

Shi Yuan shook his head and packed his things consciously, “Then you can sleep here; I’ll sleep with the Little Demon King.”

Huo Yao frowned, “It’s up to you.”

Shi Yuan went to the big house, and Huo Yao, after standing for a while, followed quietly.

.

Xie Zuo was sitting cross-legged on the kang and sulking. When he saw Shi Yuan coming over, he said angrily: “What are you doing here?”

Shi Yuan picked up the pillow from the ground and flashed a sincere smile at Xie Zuo. “Your Majesty Xie Zuo, don’t be angry with me. Are you upset?”

Xie Zuo snorted, “I am a majestic demon king, not as knowledgeable as a child.”

Shi Yuan climbed onto the kang and approached Xie Zuo, saying, “I want to sincerely apologize to you. I misunderstood you earlier. I thought you were a bad person, but I didn’t expect you to be so noble and selfless, sacrificing yourself to save a human child. It’s even rarer than me.”

Xie Zuo finally looked at Shi Yuan, this disgusting little monk.

“Why did you suddenly change your temper and speak so nicely?” Xie Zuo raised his chin.

Shi Yuan said solemnly, “I would like to thank you on behalf of all the sentient beings in the Northern Plains. The wolf problem has been completely eliminated. I have always worried whether the wolves’ oath would still be effective after my soul is annihilated. Now I’m completely relieved. As long as you control them, they won’t do evil again.”

“Oh, you won’t just say a few nice words, right?” Xie Zuo stretched out his hand. “Where’s the thank-you gift?”

Shi Yuan hesitated, “How about I treat you to Lu Xiaopang’s sesame cakes?”

“Poor monk.”

Shi Yuan blushed, “I can’t help it. The wolf problem here was so severe back then. I managed to save a little after becoming a deity. All the treasures have been used to rebuild villages for the sentient beings in the Northern Plains. I don’t even have a tomb myself.”

Xie Zuo observed the worn cassocks on the young monk’s body, and his tone unconsciously softened. “it’s said that you fed wolves with your body. What’s going on with this body now?”

“Thanks to Huo Er,” Shi Yuan sighed. “I was miserable at that time, left with only a trace of my soul. If Huo Er hadn’t protected me, I would have been swallowed by evil spirits. He took me to the Buddha, asked for a relic, and spent countless magical powers refining it into a human form for me to possess. Once I get in, I’m considered alive again. When I accumulate enough merit, believers will reshape me into a golden body. After surviving another tribulation, I can return to my original position. Don’t underestimate me. In my prime, my martial arts value was second only to Huo Er. Which demon isn’t afraid of me?”

Xie Zuo gently touched Shi Yuan’s bald head, “I didn’t expect you to be a powerful general. Well… look… Since you’re so poor, might as well treat me to some sesame cakes, sweet, salty, and spicy.”

“Okay!”
