"This is the Victoria Family's highest-grade Dragon Egg Repository. Every dragon egg here was retrieved from a Sub-Dragon Lair," Irene said with a hint of pride in her voice.
"From what you're saying, your Victoria Family has several other Dragon Egg Repositories?" Lingling couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, the Victoria Family has three more Dragon Egg Repositories like this one, but the quality of the dragon eggs inside is far inferior to what's here."
Irene continued to explain:
"Because our Western dragons, besides enjoying collecting shiny objects and fighting, are most enthusiastic about breeding… and they aren't picky, even combining with various races."
"As a result, even in Sub-Dragon Lairs, there's a chance of finding eggs with Pseudo-Dragon bloodlines; and in Pseudo-Dragon Lairs, it's possible to find Sub-Dragon, or even Mixed-Dragon, dragon eggs."
"But dragon eggs cannot be distinguished by the color or pattern of their shells to determine whether they contain Sub-Dragons, Pseudo-Dragons, or Mixed-Dragons. To truly confirm the bloodline, one must wait until after hatching."
"The Victoria Family can only guarantee that the Sub-Dragon rate of the dragon eggs here reaches fifty percent. As for whether you can pick out a Sub-Dragon egg with an excellent bloodline, that's entirely up to your feeling," Irene said, looking at Wang Feng.
Wang Feng nodded upon hearing this, his gaze falling upon the more than twenty dragon eggs of various sizes.
When he closed his eyes, he could clearly sense that these dragon eggs were filled with immense vitality, as if each egg contained a powerful force.
With a thought, his Mind System mental energy quietly enveloped these dragon eggs.
However, to his surprise, the shells of these dragon eggs seemed to have the ability to block mental energy.
Even with his Mind Disaster talent, he couldn't penetrate the eggshells to discern their bloodlines.
"No wonder there's an industry for 'egg gambling.'"
Just as Wang Feng was at a loss, the Azure Dragon in his contract space suddenly woke up.
Through the contract, the Azure Dragon quickly pinpointed an oval-shaped dragon egg among the more than twenty, one that was entirely green but with scattered snowflake patterns.
"This one?" Wang Feng's eyes flickered a few times; although he had some doubts, he decided to trust the Azure Dragon's judgment.
He pointed at the green dragon egg and said to Irene, "Irene, this one it is."
"Have you decided?" Irene asked.
"Mm-hm," Wang Feng nodded, his tone firm.
"Then, does the Victoria Family need to transport this dragon egg to Huaxia?" Irene then asked.
Wang Feng carefully considered for a moment before replying, "Please arrange for it to be transported to Magic City, Huaxia – to the Qingtian Hunter Agency."
"Alright," Irene smiled slightly, noting Wang Feng's request.
Afterward, she led Wang Feng and Lingling out of the Dragon Egg Repository.
…
Wang Feng and Lingling stayed as guests at Irene's home for three more days.
During this time, Captain Zhe Luo finally arrived at Victoria Manor with a thank-you gift, found Wang Feng, and handed him the reward.
The thank-you gift consisted of three perfect star river veins, each valued between 120 million and 140 million.
Including the Victoria Family's hush money, the original reward, and the gains from the Dragon Valley over the past half-month, Wang Feng and Lingling collectively received resources worth approximately 2.4 billion.
However, while 2.4 billion might be a lot for others, for a monster like Wang Feng with over a dozen systems, it was still a drop in the bucket.
…
"Are you leaving?" Irene stood at the manor entrance, looking at Wang Feng and Lingling as she asked.
"Yes, we've been out for a long time, and school is about to start, so it's time to go back," Wang Feng nodded.
"You're still a student?" Irene looked at Wang Feng with some surprise, a hint of unexpectedness flashing in her eyes.
"Why? Doesn't it seem like it?" Wang Feng asked with a smile.
Irene shook her head, then revealed a faint smile: "See you at the National Government."
Wang Feng opened his mouth; he really wanted to say that he had no intention of participating in the National Mansion Competition.
But for some reason, the words on the tip of his tongue ultimately transformed into three words.
"See you at the National Government."
…
After returning to Huaxia, Wang Feng took Lingling back to the Qingtian Hunter Agency. Since the dragon egg hadn't been transported yet, Wang Feng went directly back to his apartment.
However, the moment he opened the door, what greeted his eyes was a flash of white—Ai Tutu, wrapped in a bath towel, was stepping out of the bathroom.
Tiny water droplets still clung to her hair tips and skin, glistening under the light.
Ai Tutu heard the sound, turned her head, and glanced over.
Their gazes instantly met.
"B-Big Demon King! How are you here?!" Ai Tutu raised her hand, pointing at Wang Feng, her face full of surprise.
Perhaps due to the large movement, coupled with her smooth skin, the bath towel wrapped around her suddenly slipped to the floor.
The Rabbit, nurtured for nineteen years, was perfectly presented on Wang Feng's retina.
Ai Tutu was stunned, and Wang Feng was also stunned.
A few seconds passed before Ai Tutu finally reacted, frantically covering her un-coverable jade peaks, bending down to pick up the bath towel from the floor, and blushing as she quickly ran back to her room.
The room door slammed shut with a "bang."
After a long while, Wang Feng finally came back to his senses.
"Truly… no, this is my home!"
…
Ten minutes later.
"I'm sorry, maybe I wasn't clear, Brother Wang Feng is my roommate," Ye Xin Xia said apologetically to Mu Ningjiao and Ai Tutu.
"Brother? Are you two siblings?" Ai Tutu seemed to have forgotten the previous awkwardness, asking curiously.
"Something like that, Brother Wang Feng has always taken good care of me since I was little," Ye Xin Xia responded vaguely.
Mu Ningjiao's brows furrowed slightly. Although she didn't dislike Wang Feng as much as other new students, the idea of her and Ai Tutu sharing an apartment with a man felt somewhat strange no matter how she thought about it.
"I'm sorry, we might have to…"
Before Mu Ningjiao could finish her sentence, Ai Tutu grabbed her hand: "Sister Mu, come with me!"
With that, she pulled Mu Ningjiao's hand and went to the balcony.
"Rabbit, what's wrong?" Mu Ningjiao asked, somewhat confused.
"Sister Mu, please, let's not cancel the lease, okay?" Ai Tutu pleaded, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"Why?" Mu Ningjiao retorted.
"Oh, with the Big Demon King here, we'll have far fewer flies around us!
And, Sister Mu, aren't you curious why the Big Demon King, who isn't much older than us, possesses such powerful strength?
I also heard that the Big Demon King even opened a medical clinic, and he's called the hope of Magic City! They say an old professor from Mingzhu even went to him for treatment!" Ai Tutu said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ningjiao pondered carefully. Her gaze flickered slightly, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
"And Sister Mu, in another year and a half, the selection for the National Mansion Competition will begin.
If you can learn from him, won't a spot on the National Government Team be a piece of cake?" Ai Tutu added.
These words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely dispelling Mu Ningjiao's hesitation.
Her gaze gradually firmed, and she nodded: "Alright, then we'll stay!"
…
On the other side.
"Xin Xia, what's going on? Why are Mu Ningjiao and Ai Tutu in our home?" Wang Feng asked.
"Oh, that… the situation was a bit complicated at the time, it's a long story, I'll tell you next time~" Ye Xin Xia said, blinking her beautiful eyes.
"So mysterious."
