Who Stole My Eggs? - Chapter 101

Wu Xiao looked at the little snake sleeping soundly in the flower core and recalled some scenes from his youth. At that time, he had been the only one following the Heavenly Father. What a happy and wonderful time it had been.

The sound of gentle footsteps came from behind. Wu Xiao slowly turned around and saw Xie Zuo.

Xie Zuo had chased after the little snake when he had turned into the corridor. Just as he was considering whether to stop him or transform into Xiao Hei and accompany him for a walk, Wu Xiao had suddenly appeared and taken him away.

Xie Zuo carefully held the little snake in his hand and kissed his forehead lovingly. This little cutie, this big baby, was so heart-wrenching.

Wu Xiao looked past Xie Zuo and at the tall figure half-hidden in the darkness. He rubbed his neck and said, “I won’t leave.”

Wu Xiao actually felt a little sad in his heart. Heavenly Father and Huo Yao were already married, so he seemed superfluous. Heavenly Father had forgotten all the past events, and now all he thought about was Huo Yao. He was no longer qualified to fight for attention.

Xie Zuo reached out and pinched Wu Xiao. “Aren’t you sleepy? Go back to sleep.”

When Xie Zuo put Wu Xiao and the little snake back on the bed, covered them with quilts, and closed the door, Wu Xiao gradually came to his senses: He was not left behind!

Wu Xiao excitedly turned somersaults on the bed. Great!

Xie Zuo made the decision and kept Wu Xiao. Huo Yao was unhappy, but he didn’t say anything. This kind of unhappiness had been with Huo Yao for a long time. No matter how close he and Xie Zuo were, Xie Zuo would never be just his. Xie Zuo’s body only belonged to him, but there were always other people in his heart. Huo Yao had no choice but to defend and declare his sovereignty “by personal example.”

The next day.

Xie Zuo got up early and waited anxiously by the little snake’s bed, waiting for him to wake up.

After listening to the little snake’s words the night before, Xie Zuo decided to be braver. He would solemnly apologize to the little snake and no longer lie, pretend, or evade.

Xie Zuo had already prepared himself mentally, but when he saw the little snake slowly opening its eyes and looking at him innocently with eyes exactly like his own, he was so nervous that he couldn’t speak.

Xie Zuo glanced at Huo Yao beside him for help. Huo Yao looked at the little snake, and his face darkened.

The little snake immediately said, “Okay, okay, don’t say anything; I forgive you.” His own mother looked at him so pitifully, what else could he do? Anyway, this was not the first time his mother had been confused. He had always wanted to eat him and bully him before, and he probably wouldn’t be able to change it in the future.

The little snake’s generosity and tolerance made Xie Zuo feel even more guilty. He picked up the little snake and solemnly said, “I’m sorry, baby; it was me who was too careless. I didn’t mean it.”

The little snake snorted coldly.

Xie Zuo’s fingers gently played with the little snake’s body. “I will make it up to you.”

The little snake still wanted to put on airs, but when he saw Huo Yao’s face, he was still frightened in his heart. He didn’t dare to be wilful anymore. He honestly let Xie Zuo touch him for a while, then lowered his head and licked his fingers. “It’s over anyway, don’t bully me anymore, and don’t lie to me again.”

Xie Zuo immediately swore, “I promise!”

The little snake took a peek at Huo Yao, crawled to Xie Zuo’s ear, and whispered, “You must love me more and not favour the second child.”

Xie Zuo nodded heavily. “Absolutely, no problem! If you have any other requests, just ask; I will satisfy you.”

The little snake swung the tip of its tail and thought for a while. “I also want to eat hawthorn balls today.”

“Okay, go right away.” As soon as Xie Zuo stood up, he heard Huo Yao say, “No. Eating too many sweets will damage your teeth.”

The little snake pretended to be making trouble, and Xie Zuo immediately said, “Leave him alone; let’s go and eat it ourselves.”

Huo Yao watched helplessly as Xie Zuo walked away with the little snake in his arms and then saw the annoying Wu Xiao following him. Unable to bear it, he chased after them.

Xie Zuo and the little snake settled their old feud; the mother was kind, and his son was filial. The entire Ashura Palace became livelier than ever before.

The mother and son were exactly the same in personality and temperament; one was livelier and out-of-the-box than the other, and they almost turned the entire Asura King’s City upside down.

Xie Zuo had a kind heart and was willing to compensate, so he always responded to the little snake’s requests. Not only did he take him wherever he wanted to go every day, but he also often transformed into a little black snake and wandered around with him, making the little snake smile happily. After only a few months, the little snake had obviously gained weight.

That night, the two snakes had actually run away with Wu Xiao and stayed out all night. Huo Yao stayed alone in the empty room with a cold face all night. Early the next morning, Xie Zuo and Wu Xiao came back drunk. The little snake had eaten until his belly was round, and Huo Yao couldn’t bear it anymore.

Regardless of Xie Zuo’s obstruction, Huo Yao began to strictly discipline the little snake, starting with his diet.

The little snake had already let go of his belly during this period, and he suddenly had to control himself. He couldn’t bear the craving even if he wasn’t hungry, so he started acting out.

Huo Yao would not allow him to continue to be so wilful. No matter how distressed Xie Zuo was, he was not allowed to be greedy anymore.

The little snake was a very smart child. After a few instances of making trouble and finding that it didn’t work, he became honest.

Just a few days after, the little snake started to have a toothache.

Xie Zuo held the crying little snake in his arms, looked at his red and swollen gums, and began to regret not listening to Huo Yao’s words. Maybe he really didn’t know how to raise children and should have been listening to Huo Yao.

Huo Yao took the opportunity to teach Xie Zuo, “There is a saying in the human world that a loving mother often loses her son. You can’t indulge him like this in the future.”

Xie Zuo nodded in shame.

Huo Yao was stunned for a while. He didn’t know what he was thinking about. His mind started to become unclear. He looked at Xie Zuo and the little snake and said in a cold tone, “When you raised Wu Xiao, you also done it like this and raised him to be ignorant of the world. It looks like you caused trouble everywhere. You were also to blame for Wu Xiao’s situation.”

Wu Xiao, who had been laying on the window sill basking in the sun, jumped up immediately when he heard this. “Huo Er, who is so stubborn, what are you talking about?”

Huo Yao refused and said, “Shut up, you rude stinky squid. If you say one more word, I will kill you.”

“You…” Wu Xiao was about to curse again when a bolt of lightning landed at his feet, scaring him so much that he jumped three feet high.

Huo Yao hadn’t finished yet. He seemed to be saying all the things he had suppressed for a long time, and he scolded Xie Zuo with all his might.

“It is the fault of the mother if he is not educated,”

“It is a heinous crime to let a son commit crimes,” and “It is the fault of a married wife who does not come home at night”

…

In short, Huo Yao poured out all his dissatisfaction with Heavenly Father and Xie Zuo. Anyway, these two people were the same person. What he did was just wrong.

Originally, Xie Zuo listened with gusto when Huo Yao scolded his heavenly father. Oops, didn’t he say that he loved his Heavenly Father the most? Why did Heavenly Father still have so many faults? But later, when Huo Yao began to scold him, Xie Zuo’s face grew darker the more he listened.

Okay, so Huo Yao looked down on him so much!

Xie Zuo picked up the little snake and sneered, “So, that’s really offends you, the noble and elegant deity of thunder. Wouldn’t it be too hard for you to stay with a worthless person like me? I’m leaving now.”

Huo Yao was filled with jealousy. “Where are you going? Oh right, I’m not as amazing as you. If you leave me, you can still find Wu Xiao, Feng Yi, or Mu Rong, haha!”

If it hadn’t been for the thought that he was not clear-headed, Xie Zuo would have really beaten him up. Xie Zuo tried his best to suppress the throbbing veins on his forehead. “You still have the nerve to criticize me. You have caused a lot of bad things. Can you count how many people in the world have crawled into your bed?”

Wu Xiao immediately helped, “That’s it, stop pretending to be innocent in front of Heavenly Father. It is said in the six realms that you have great skills and good abilities. If you have never used them, who dares to praise you like that? Heavenly Father, come back to the East China Sea with me!”

Xie Zuo scolded, “Shut up and stop meddling in our affairs!”

Wu Xiao replied, “Heavenly Father…”

“Who is your heavenly father?” Xie Zuo said angrily. “If you miss your father, go to heaven to find him.”

Xie Zuo walked away angrily, holding the little snake in his arms.
