Chapter 157: Thunderbird Hatching



Chapter 157: Thunderbird Hatching

At the moment before Qi Beis head sank into the quicksand, he saw countless dazzling white lights shooting out from the sandstorm, accompanied by a thunderous explosion.

But immediately, Qi Beis entire body was pulled deep into the quicksand by the tremendous force. His arms instantly transformed into dragon claws and slashed downward.

However, he felt the immense force pulling him disappear in an instant. His claw struck nothingness, silent and ineffective. His internal energy exploded in his dantian, propelling his entire body upward like a cannonball, breaking free from the sand.

The sandstorm had also dissipated, and in the distance stood a figure with their back facing him.

Qi Bei quickly approached with excitement and exclaimed, Chief Judge, its so good to see youre okay, uh

When Qi Bei saw the face of the figure, he couldnt help but pause and feel embarrassed. He said, Sorry, Madam, I mistook you for someone else.

The woman before his eyes appeared as a graceful young girl from behind, but upon closer inspection, he noticed wrinkles covering her face, as if she were on the verge of death.

The Madam looked at Qi Bei, her body trembling slightly, but she didnt speak.

These eyes somethings not right. Why do they look so much like Yan Shengyis eyes? And her clothes, theyre exactly the same as Yan Shengyis.

Could it be

Qi Bei was suddenly felt as if struck by lightning, his eyes staring in shock at the elderly woman before him. He uttered, You youre Yan Shengyi, how can this be?

Yan Shengyi remained silent for a moment and said, I have always been like this. Do you find it repulsive?

Her voice was as clear and pleasant as before, but for some reason, her appearance had aged in an instant. Moreover, she had removed the metallic mask from her face. Qi Bei had fantasized more than once about seeing Yan Shengyis unparalleled beauty after she took off the metal mask, but he never expected to see it in such circumstances. It was an immense shock to him.

At this moment, Qi Bei suddenly remembered how Yan Shengyi broke free from his grip and rushed into the sandstorm just before it engulfed them, as well as the earth-shattering explosion that followed. He also recalled the sudden interruption of the immense pulling force from deep within the quicksand. He seemed to understand something.

No, even though I dont know what happened. But only your appearance has aged, while your devout heart is more beautiful and young than any womans, Qi Bei gazed at Yan Shengyis still beautiful eyes and spoke slowly.

Then kiss me again, Yan Shengyi quietly replied, looking back at Qi Bei.

Huh?

Qi Bei was taken aback. From Yan Shengyis eyes, he caught a glimpse of a slight nervousness beneath her calm demeanor.

Alright, Qi Bei nodded and approached, his gaze fixed on Yan Shengyis beautiful eyes. Suddenly, he recalled the scene of their kiss in the netherworld summoning array.

Qi Bei leaned in, his lips touching Yan Shengyis.

However, at that moment, Yan Shengyi suddenly stepped back a few steps. Her gaze flickered with a faint sense of joy and shyness. She spoke, Thank you for the kiss. Lets part ways here. Were not far from leaving the Yellow Sand River. You saved me before, and now Ive saved you. Were even.

After Yan Shengyi finished speaking, she quickly moved forward.

I kissed you, but you havent kissed me, so you still owe me a kiss! Qi Bei suddenly shouted.

Yan Shengyis figure trembled and soon disappeared at the end of the vast yellow sand.

Qi Bei recalled the bits and pieces of their encounters and escape with Yan Shengyi along the way, feeling a tinge of melancholy in his heart.

Yan Shengyis sudden aged appearance was undoubtedly due to saving him. Qi Bei made up his mind that if Yan Shengyi returned to the Light Temple without restoring her appearance, he would find a way to help her.

Qi Bei stood still in place for a long time before taking a step forward.

A day later, the yellow sand turned into a desert, indicating that he was almost out of the Yellow Sand River area.

The old man who had been tracking them seemed to have finally quieted down, no longer causing any trouble.

However, the weather suddenly changed, and thunder and rain started pouring. Nevertheless, Qi Bei didnt stop and continued to sprint forward. He could only truly relax once he was out of this place. Besides, thunderstorms didnt affect him much.

Zila!

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck towards Qi Bei, who was running at high speed.

Qi Beis heart skipped a beat, and he swiftly dodged, causing the lightning to strike a deep pit beside him.

I didnt show off, so why did I get struck by lightning? Ive had a string of bad luck on this journey. Whats going on?

Just then, another bolt of lightning thundered towards him.

Qi Bei dodged again but began to feel that something was not right. Even if he was unlucky, it didnt make sense for thunderbolts to target him to say hello. His first thought was that the old man from the Netherworld was causing mischief, but it didnt feel like his doing.

Within a few minutes, eight lightning bolts had already struck at him, seemingly increasing in frequency.

At the same time, Qi Bei felt a faint pulsation coming from the spatial ring. He probed with his mind and discovered the strange beast egg inside, emitting flickering electric lights and trembling continuously, emanating a powerful life force.

So, its you causing all this. It seems like youre about to hatch, Qi Bei said. With a single thought, the egg with the flickering electric lights appeared in front of him.

Sure enough, a bolt of heavenly lightning descended and struck the beast egg.

Just as expected! Qi Bei jumped back and watched from a distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Three consecutive thunderbolts followed one after another.

On top of the beast egg, electric lights flickered like tiny snakes, and the egg trembled more and more intensely.

The thunderbolts became increasingly dense, with almost one striking down every blink of an eye. This power, even a Heaven-level expert might not be able to withstand it.

Just as Qi Bei was secretly shocked, the thunderbolts suddenly stopped.

Is it over? Qi Bei looked at the electrifying beast egg, which had cracks appearing on its surface, but it seemed to need a little more time.

At that moment, the dark clouds in the sky gathered thicker and thicker, and an unparalleled aura of heaven and earth descended, causing Qi Bei to feel tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing.

Within those dark clouds, it seemed that an even more powerful wave of thunder was brewing.

After a moment, the seemingly within reach dark clouds surged suddenly, like a raging sea or a celestial storm.

Qi Beis face changed drastically, and he sprinted away with all his might.

Boom!

This thunderous sound was like the earth shattering. Hundreds of thunderbolts merged into one, forming an enormous lightning pillar that struck down.

Qi Bei was immediately swept away by the violent energy, rolling and tumbling countless times before coming to a stop. Every organ in his body ached tremendously.

Can this still be called a lightning strike? Its simply a heavenly tribulation.

At this moment, the terrifying dark clouds in the sky began to disperse, and the rain stopped.

Qi Bei struggled to stand up, smelling a strong scent of burning. He turned around and tugged at the corners of his mouth. Within a radius of several kilometers, everything was completely charred and emitting thick smoke.

As for the central beast egg, it was completely shrouded in lightning, shrinking and expanding like a heartbeat.

Crack!

Qi Bei heard a cracking sound, and a thick piece of eggshell flew out. Immediately after, a small head covered in a layer of purple fuzz emerged from the small hole, desperately struggling to break free from the shell.

At that moment, the intense lightning on the beast egg completely entered this small head. Soon after, several more cracking sounds followed, and several pieces of eggshell fell off.

The little creature inside gradually emerged, bit by bit. First, its head emerged, followed by its neck and wet, delicate wings.

Qi Bei approached and stood in front of the little creature. The egg was so large, but he didnt expect the hatched life to be smaller than the size of his palm.

Keep going, Qi Bei encouraged. Despite looking like an ordinary and unremarkable fledgling bird, he believed that such a terrifying hatching method couldnt possibly produce an ordinary bird.

The little creature seemed to understand Qi Beis words, and its clear eyes looked at him, struggling even harder.

Whether it was Qi Beis imagination or not, he actually saw a sense of attachment in its eyes, like the expression of a child looking at its parents.

Does it see me as its mother? Qi Bei wondered.

Finally, the little creature completely emerged from the egg. Its first action was to wobble and stumble, taking three steps before reaching Qi Beis feet. It extended its purple beak and lightly pecked at his shoe.

Qi Bei reached out and touched its little head.

The creatures small head nuzzled against Qi Beis palm, then it wobbled back to the side of the beast egg and started pecking at the eggshell.

The eggshell that seemed impenetrable to any of Qi Beis attempts was easily broken by the creatures sharp beak and quickly swallowed into its belly. Not a trace of the large eggshell, or even the few pieces that had initially popped out, was left behind.

After swallowing the eggshell, the fur on the little creatures body seemed to become denser and shiny. With great effort, it flapped its wings and struggled to leave the ground. It landed in Qi Beis palm, chirping excitedly and appearing particularly thrilled.

Little one, with your purple feathers, Ill call you Xiao Zi (Little Purple) from now on, Qi Bei said with a smile to the creature in his hand.

Chirp, chirp The little creature seemed to understand, chirping a few times while looking at Qi Bei, then it hopped in his palm.

After playing for a while, Xiao Zi grew a little tired. It fluttered its wings and settled on Qi Beis chest, its sharp claws grasping his clothes, and then it comfortably fell asleep, nestled in there.

Xiao Zi, you will surely become an extraordinary legendary bird in the future, Qi Bei whispered to himself.

Just then, he sensed the presence of a powerful individual approaching from a distance, presumably aware of the commotion here. After all, the thunder from earlier was terrifying, an omen from heaven and earth.

Many people believed that such omens indicated the birth of a prodigy or the appearance of precious treasures.

This place was not safe for long. Qi Bei turned around and quickly departed.
