Chapter 59 The Golden Dragon is Born! Donghai City Turns Golden?
Xia Wei swore she never expected to run into Yu Xiao here again.
Xia Wei is still feeling uneasy about the dream she had last night.
It was supposed to be a dream, but it felt too real.
Most importantly, Xia Wei couldn't understand why Yu Xiao would appear in her dream.
They say you dream about what you think about during the day, but how could I possibly develop feelings for Xiao?
Various thoughts flashed through Xia Wei's mind, her face turning pale and then purple.
Why did you go look at that egg?
"Didn't you always disbelieve me? Didn't you always think I was scamming you?"
Yu Xiao's voice rang out.
Hearing this, Xia Wei came back to her senses.
His gaze lingered for a moment on Yu Xiao's face, which seemed to be smiling but wasn't.
"I, I, I..."
Xia Wei stammered, her lips moving but unable to utter a complete sentence.
She is a staunch atheist and has received a 21st-century higher education, making her even more convinced of the power of science.
But the dream she had yesterday made Xia Wei doubt herself ever since she woke up.
The dream was so vivid that even hours after I woke up, it remained fresh in my memory, as if it had truly happened.
Whether it was Yu Xiao appearing out of nowhere in her dream or the giant dragon that "suddenly" sprang out, Xia Wei couldn't understand it.
Unable to figure it out, Xia Wei decided to look for answers on the dragon egg, since it was Yu Xiao who sold it.
result……
"Forget it, I can't be bothered with you."
Seeing that Xia Wei was stammering, Yu Xiao waved his hand.
I climbed a few more steps up the stairs.
"Where is the dragon egg? Take me there."
Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows as he walked up to Xia Wei.
Upon hearing this...
"Huh? Oh, oh..."
Xia Wei was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice.
...
Xia Wei carefully led Yu Xiao to a room.
"This is it."
"Because this egg has been shaking violently ever since it started."
"I was wondering if this egg was tired of its current environment, so I thought I'd give it a new one..."
Standing to the side, Xia Minghan pointed to the door in front of him, looked at Yu Xiao, and said with a smile.
Upon hearing Xia Minghan's explanation, Yu Xiao looked up at the antique gate in front of him, which was carved with flying dragons and beasts.
"The aroma is wonderful... Could there be incense inside? Is it some kind of calming incense for the dragon?"
Yu Xiao mentally complained.
Nodding and responding, Yu Xiao then stepped forward.
I just grabbed the doorknob.
Sensing your approach, the golden dragon became even more excited.
The Golden Dragon is extremely proud that its birth was witnessed by you, the supreme ruler.
In order to meet you, my sovereign, sooner, the golden dragon pondered for a while and then plucked off its own scales and swallowed them.

"Is it the same as it was back then with Shadow Dragon...?"
Looking at the pop-up data panel, Yu Xiao seemed to be deep in thought.
The Shadow Dragon did the same thing back then; sensing its arrival, it plucked off its own scales and swallowed them.
However, the only difference is...
That time with the Shadow Dragon was truly dangerous; it felt like the apocalypse was about to descend from the abyss, and the temperature could drop to tens of degrees below zero in an instant.
And now... the pace of goldification around us is indeed accelerating, but the trend of people becoming gold-plated doesn't seem to be...
only……
"The arrival of the Golden City is happening so fast..."
Yu Xiao looked up at the dazzling golden light outside the floor-to-ceiling window in the distance, so bright it was almost blinding, and murmured to himself.
I thought about it for a moment.
"The dragon is about to hatch, get ready."
"Uncle Xia, if you don't want people to know you're keeping a dragon, I suggest you ask everyone around you to leave."
Yu Xiao turned around and looked at Xia Minghan.
...
Time passed second by second.
First minute.
"According to the latest news from the meteorological department, the weather over Donghai City is completely out of control."
"And some scientists used telescopes to observe what appeared to be faintly visible in the clouds above Donghai City..."
Inside the room, a reporter holding a microphone continued broadcasting the latest news, but his words were noticeably more hurried.
The second minute.
"The Donghai City Public Security Bureau began to evacuate residents of Donghai City one after another, but with little effect. Many residents felt that Donghai City was an opportunity to make money at this time."
"At the same time, the Donghai City Transportation Bureau began to implement traffic control on various roads, prohibiting unfamiliar vehicles from entering or exiting."
The reporter on TV was still holding a microphone, but judging from his expression, it was clear that someone next to him was urging him on.
Third minute.
"Men in combat uniforms have appeared on the streets of Donghai City, urging residents to evacuate. What's going on?"
In Yu Xiao's view, the reporter on TV was put into a car as soon as he finished speaking.
Fourth minute.
"Breaking news: The head of the Donghai City Guard Division says they have prepared air-to-air missiles, and the Meteorological Division has also prepared fog missiles, ready to restore Donghai City to its original state. Can they really succeed?"
The fifth minute.
"The mayor of Donghai City appeared to tell everyone that this was just a drill to test the public's ability to respond to a crisis, but is that really the case?"
The fifth minute.
"My God, this is the first time in my life I've ever seen the entire city of Donghai turn golden..."
Yu Xiao could only hear the voices on the television screen; there were no images.
"You promised not to cause a big commotion, but what happened?"
Yu Xiao glanced at the dragon egg throbbing violently not far away and thought to himself with a bit of a grumble.
Before that, he had already used his telepathy to tell the Golden Dragon not to let the Golden City descend.
Although the golden dragon was somewhat puzzled, it still did as instructed.
However, there is one thing: to completely reclaim the Golden City, he must hatch.
After all, dragon eggs and baby dragons are not in the same league.
"The key is that the Golden Dragon is still manageable right now, and as for the gold transformation, we can just make up some excuse later."
"But what about the fairy dragons?"
"If the elven kingdom were to descend, wouldn't the entire East Sea City be thrown into chaos?"
Yu Xiao lowered his head, his heart filled with conflict.
Just as Yu Xiao was contemplating whether he should personally go and communicate with the spirit dragon the next day.
"Bang!"
The dragon egg suddenly jumped up from the platform.
Then, in the eyes of Yu Xiao, Xia Minghan, and Xia Wei, the dragon egg floated in mid-air and began to spin wildly after a few breaths.
After rotating for about two or three minutes.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
Intense beams of golden light shot out from the surface of the dragon egg.
As the golden light pierced through the room's walls in an instant, Xia Minghan was stunned, while Xia Wei looked horrified.
"Snap! Snap!"
Pieces of the dragon egg's surface fell off one by one.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces...
As the last fragment fell to the ground, the entire 'dragon egg' turned into a ball of golden light.
When everyone in the room, including Yu Xiao, stood up.
next second.
"Singing~"
A high-pitched dragon roar resounded.
Then, as the golden light dissipated, a living being appeared in Yu Xiao's eyes.
A creature that looks exactly like the legendary Eastern dragon.
Its golden, antler-like horns gleamed, its head and cheeks were covered with yellow and white scales, its white whiskers were long and flowing, its eyes were narrow, and it had white mane around its mouth.
Its slender body is covered with yellowish-white scales, which are neatly arranged and glossy. The white scales on its belly and the golden scales on its back blend together naturally.
Its limbs are thick and powerful, its golden claws are sharp, and its long tail is also covered with yellow and white scales and is naturally curled.
