The Jiao Clan and the Dragon Clan alike, have poor reproductive abilities; an adult Jiao can only lay one egg.
This egg, under normal maternal conditions, would take five hundred years to fully incubate.
However, not long after this Jiao egg was laid, its mother died. Even with the use of the incubation liquid, it took over nine hundred years before it showed signs of maturity.
But it was merely an egg; what consequence is maturity when outside the stone coffin lurks a scheming Ming Rendie waiting to devour its Jiao Soul.
Yue Jinghua placed the lid on the stone coffin, her fingers tracing the ancient spells marked upon it—a faint smile playing across her lush red lips.
