It's the 21st century, how come there are still people selling dragon eggs?

Chapter 40: Why is Donghai City under control?

Yu Xiao was also quite shocked.

It's the 21st century, and there's still an egg hopping and skipping out of the villa...

Yu Xiao was curious about Xia Minghan's reaction after hearing the news, and also wondered what Ling Man's expression was when she opened the door and saw that the "visitor" was an egg.

But the biggest problem is...

"Isn't this ridiculous? Two dragon eggs fighting?"

"And then I remember the elven dragon's ability is..."

Yu Xiao felt that things had gone a bit too far.

One of the abilities of the fairy dragon is indeed the ability to enter other people's dreams.

Yu Xiao didn't know what he could do in his dreams.

But once the two dragons become enemies...

Thinking about this...

"No, I have to stop it."

Yu Xiao gritted his teeth.

As Hong Zhixuan pulled Xia Wei into the coffee shop.

"Where's Yu Xiaoren? Wasn't he just here?"

Looking at the empty table in front of her, Hong Zhixuan blinked.

...

"Bang!"

He ran into the bathroom, closed the door, and locked it.

I glanced around at the empty scene.

Yu Xiao thought for a moment, then took out his phone and sent Hou Chunkang a text message, asking Hou Chunkang to come and pick him up.

Then, Yu Xiao dialed Xia Minghan's number.

The ringing lasted only a short time.

"Mr. Yu Xiao, you wanted to see me?"

Xia Minghan answered the call quickly.

Are you home right now? If not, call me right away.

Yu Xiao didn't mince words, but went straight to the point, speaking with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Minghan was stunned when he heard Yu Xiao's words.

"Your dragon egg has escaped from the villa!"

Yu Xiao answered very decisively.

Xia Minghan: ?

Wait, you're speaking Chinese, right? Why can't I understand it when you put them together?

His expression remained conflicted for a long time.

"Mr. Yu Xiao, are you saying someone is stealing the eggs? Don't worry, the villa's security is still..."

"No one stole the eggs! The dragon eggs just ran out of the villa on their own!"

"?"

"Mr. Yu Xiao, do you mean the dragon egg was taken out of the villa? Or that it was rolled out of the villa...?"

"I'll say it again! It's the dragon egg that's jumping and hopping away from the villa!"

"???"

Holding the phone to his ear, Xia Minghan's face was filled with a huge question mark.

Wait, you mean, an egg, hopping and bouncing, ran out of the villa's grounds? Just like that, it hopped and bounced across thousands of square meters of land?

Xia Minghan found it absurd... This wasn't a shattered worldview, it was a collapse of logic...

But if Yu Xiao said that...

"Okay, Mr. Yu Xiao, I'll call the villa's security right away!"

Xia Minghan spoke with a serious expression, then picked up another phone next to him.

Although his face was more strange than anything else.

...

However, the strange look on Xia Minghan's face did not last long.

A dozen minutes later.

Yu Xiao had just hung up the phone call from the renovation company.

"The peak generates false support, the twilight bears witness..."

Xia Minghan then called.

Yu Xiao then connected the call.

"Um... Mr. Yu Xiao, you're right, the egg did jump to the ground just now, and then hopped out of the room... That's what the nurses said..."

"Then the egg hopped and skipped all the way from the fourth floor to the lobby... I'm not sure if I used the word 'hopped' correctly..."

"After I made the call, the egg had already jumped into the villa's garden and was preparing to head out of the villa..."

"Because I previously gave orders that no one was allowed to harm this egg, everyone in the villa..."

Xia Minghan's voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone full of struggle and a little bit of shock.

Xia Minghan was indeed shocked; in just over ten minutes, his worldview shattered.

"We must stop them! We absolutely must stop them!"

Yu Xiao didn't pay much attention to it, but spoke with a serious expression.

"He's going to Ling Man's villa to settle accounts with her for the dragon egg she bought."

"We must stop this egg before it's caught!"

After thinking for a moment, Yu Xiao added another sentence.

Xia Minghan, still in a daze, became even more bewildered after hearing this.

What the hell? What does it mean for one egg to settle a score with another?

After standing there for several minutes, feeling a bit conflicted and a little terrified, I paused and pondered.

"OK."

Xia Minghan spoke with a serious expression.

...

Yu Xiao didn't know exactly what Xia Minghan did, but he knew that if the two eggs really started fighting, things would get really interesting.

A shadow dragon is about to hatch, while two eggs are fighting each other...

Donghai City might as well just have a mass evacuation of its population...

After paying the bill, Yu Xiao walked out of the coffee shop.

After returning to the abandoned factory, I discussed a renovation plan with the renovation team who were waiting there.

More than half an hour later.

"I wonder how Xia Minghan is doing..."

Standing at the entrance of the abandoned factory, Yu Xiao looked at the backs of the construction workers in front of him and pondered inwardly.

Just as Yu Xiao was pondering this in his heart.

"Creak—"

A black sedan was parked not far from Yu Xiao.

As Yu Xiao raised his head, his gaze met that of Hou Chunkang, who had just gotten out of the driver's seat.

Sensing that an external force was preventing it from continuing its advance, the golden dragon felt very aggrieved.

The golden dragon felt even more uneasy as it sensed it getting closer to the villa.

On one hand, there's the threat posed by the elven dragon; on the other hand, there's the subtle sense of your displeasure.

After much deliberation, the Golden Dragon decided to nickname the Fairy Dragon "Fat Dragonfly," and after giving a cold snort, it ignored the Fairy Dragon completely.

Because the Golden Dragon no longer slows down its growth rate, its growth rate returns to normal.

[Incubation Countdown: 52 hours and 37 minutes]

"Did they stop it?"

Seeing the data panel pop up, Yu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness... It seems that human intervention can still stop it inside the dragon egg...

But what's with this Golden Dragon? Why does it like giving other dragons nicknames so much?

I hesitated for a moment.

"Let's go, it'll be better if I'm there when the dragon egg hatches..."

Yu Xiao walked towards Hou Chunkang and spoke calmly.

Just as I was about to open the car door.

The Fairy Dragon found the Golden Dragon's behavior adorable, not only thinking it was childish but also considering it shameless and despicable.

[Does the mighty dragon race really need to be so hesitant? The elven dragon feels that the golden dragon is unworthy of being called a dragon, having lost its dragon's dignity.]

[So, the elven dragon disdainfully bit off a fragment from the nearby dragon egg, hoping it would hatch soon.]

[Due to the actions of the fairy dragon, the growth rate has accelerated.]

[Incubation Countdown: 155 hours and 02 minutes]

"Forehead……"

Looking at the pop-up data panel, Yu Xiao choked for a moment.

Shaking his head, Yu Xiao opened the car door.

...

Yu Xiao wasn't worried about making a big fuss about the emergence of the Shadow Dragon.

After all, the full name of the Shadow Dragon is the Abyss Overlord Shadow Dragon.

With such a high-class name, even if it meant destroying the world, Yu Xiao felt it would be perfectly normal...

Because Yu Xiao was going to a research base located on the other side of Donghai City, he had to cross the entire city.

As Yu Xiao's vehicle approached Donghai City...

on the highway.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

Seeing the long line of cars ahead, Xia Wei honked her horn in annoyance.

"Zhixuan, what are you talking about?"

"Why is there a sudden traffic control measure? And my dad wasn't given any prior notice?"

Seeing that the traffic ahead was still congested, Xia Wei turned her head to look at Hong Zhixuan and spoke angrily.

"And I called my dad."

"My dad said that all businesses in Donghai City, including his, have been ordered to cease operations?"

"What's going on?"
