Who Stole My Eggs? - Chapter 99

Huo Yao walked out of the underground river along the steps and picked up a cloth to wipe his body.

The little snake swam around him, examining his body worriedly.

When the little snake wasn’t paying attention, Xie Zuo secretly licked the side of Huo Yao’s neck to express comfort and distress.

“Father—!” The little snake crawled onto Huo Yao’s back and let out a cry, “Why do you have so many wounds on your back?”

Xie Zuo looked over and saw that the little snake was talking about the scratches on Huo Yao’s back. Well, it didn’t matter. He was too caught up last night, also Huo Yao was being too rough.

The little snake climbed up along the scratches and noticed a tooth mark on Huo Yao’s collarbone. “Something bit you. It’s such a deep wound!”

Huo Yao glanced at Xie Zuo and grabbed the little snake to his chest with his backhand. “I didn’t pay attention. It was probably a big mosquito bite. Don’t worry.”

“Oh…” The little snake’s expression was a little confused, always feeling like something had happened that he couldn’t understand.

Xie Zuo lightly scratched Huo Yao’s ears with the tip of his tail, ‘Huh, who are you calling a big mosquito?’

Huo Yao lightly pinched the tip of Xie Zuo’s tail, which was very provocative and made Xie Zuo blush.

The little snake tilted his head and looked, “What are you doing?”

Xie Zuo looked at him innocently, “What’s wrong, brother?”

Hearing this honorific, the little snake puffed up his chest and said, “I’ll take you out for a walk today. I’ll treat you to whatever you want to eat!”

“Wow, brother, you are so kind,” Xie Zuo exclaimed. “What do you recommend?”

The little snake said excitedly, “There is a sweet and sour fruit on the street. It is very delicious. Go and try it. Father, take us there!”

“Okay.” Huo Yao put on his clothes, conjured a big black cloak out of thin air, and wrapped himself tightly from head to toe. “Let’s go out.”

“Yeah!” The little snake happily hooked Xie Zuo’s tail. “My father loves me the most.”

“I really envy you,” Xie Zuo sighed sincerely. Compared with Huo Yao, he, who was also a parent, felt really unqualified.

The little snake came closer to Xie Zuo and whispered, “Behave yourself and don’t think about hooking up with my father again. I will ask him to recognize you as his godson in the future.”

Godson… The corners of Xie Zuo’s mouth twitched; forget it. He didn’t want to have such a complicated relationship with his lover.

Huo Yao led them to the palace gate. Suddenly, he squatted down, holding his forehead.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?” Xie Zuo turned back into a human body and supported Huo Yao.

The human Xie Zuo still remembered to take care of the little snake and wrapped himself in a black cloak, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Huo Yao calmed down for a while, then suddenly held Xie Zuo’s wrist tightly. “My child, where is our second child?”

The little snake originally had a worried look on his face, but when he heard Huo Yao mention his younger brother, his stomach bulged with anger, and he turned his back and ignored him.

Seeing the little snake’s reaction, Xie Zuo didn’t dare to say that he had kept his second child and Xie Jiao, who had fallen asleep due to the impending transformation, in his demon soul tree. He said “ah, ah” twice without saying anything else.

Huo Yao suddenly turned around and walked toward the palace. “We have to go find them. Where is the eldest?”

The little snake seemed to be used to it and said calmly, “The eldest is here. You should look for the youngest.”

Xie Zuo watched Huo Yao walks into the palace and search around, and his eyes could not help but feel sore and hot. “Does he often do this?”

The little snake sighed very maturely. “My father’s mind is not very clear. He often gets confused. He will forget what he is looking for after a while, and he will be fine soon.”

The little snake said, speeding up to follow Huo Yao, and explained to Xie Zuo, “He needs the water from the underground river to heal his injuries, and we can’t leave this world yet. If my father is here, he might be able to be cured.”

Sure enough, as the little snake said, Huo Yao stopped after searching for a while. He was in a daze for a moment, then turned around and saw Xie Zuo and the little snake. “Are we still going out?”

“Go!” the little snake shouted.

“Then let’s go; don’t waste any time.”

Xie Zuo transformed into the little black snake again and followed Huo Yao onto the street.

It turned out that the sweet and sour fruit that the little snake had mentioned was candied haws. However, the candied haws in the Asura world were much larger than those in the human world. Each hawthorn ball was as big as an apple, and there were two large and one small one on each bunch.

Huo Yao bought a bunch for each of them. The little snake’s whole body happily coiled around it, licking the hawthorn balls wrapped in transparent sugar.

Xie Zuo looked at the happy little snake and remembered the candied haws he had eaten when he went to the human world with Huo Yao for the first time. He felt nostalgic and happy at the same time.

What a great eldest son of mine; his taste was exactly the same as mine, and he also liked candied haws the most!

Xie Zuo rolled down the big hawthorn candy ball and pushed it to Huo Yao. “Don’t just look at it; you should also try it.”

Huo Yao picked up the candy ball and put it in his mouth.

“How is it?” Xie Zuo asked, licking his little sugar ball.

“Sweet. Very good,” Huo Yao said seriously.

The little snake, who was eating sugar crumbs, was stunned. Oh my God, what happened to his father? Didn’t he hate sweets the most? The last time he had kindly given him one, he had thrown it away coldly!

The little snake’s eyes flickered between Xie Zuo and Huo Yao. Something was wrong, something was definitely wrong…

The little snake was a filial child. He thought about Huo Yao’s injury and asked to go back after eating the candied haws. He wasn’t greedy; he just wanted to go out for a little shopping every few days and eat.

After all, the little snake was still young, so he felt sleepy after eating and fell asleep again on the way back.

Huo Yao returned to the palace, put the little snake in the room he had used last night, and took Xie Zuo back to his place.

After they left, the little snake secretly opened one eye, observed quietly, and climbed out of bed.

The bedroom next door was still brightly lit, and the little snake slipped into the crack of the door in a familiar way.

He wanted to catch and spy!

Xie Zuo was still coiled around Huo Yao’s shoulders like a little black snake. He was looking at an Asura man posing on Huo Yao’s bed with wide eyes.

Compared with other Asuras, this man could be said to have a handsome face and a slim figure.

He had no sense of restraint or shame about breaking into someone else’s home. When he saw Huo Yao coming in, he instead tore off his robe and exposed his body underneath.

“My lord, you can do whatever you want to me,” he said.

Seeing his bold posture, Xie Zuo couldn’t help but cover his eyes. ‘Don’t look at anything inappropriate! Don’t look at anything inappropriate!’

‘Isn’t this what the little snake was talking about? Climbing onto the bed, etc.? Some people had to offer himself as a pillow seat every now and then?’

Xie Zuo patted Huo Yao with his tail. “Explain?”

Huo Yao didn’t explain but stepped forward and threw the male Asura out of the window. “I’ll kill you if you come back again.”

“Bang!” With a sound, the window closed tightly.

Xie Zuo fell to the ground and returned to his human form, hugging Huo Yao from behind and imitating the Asura’s tone just now. “You can do whatever you want to me, hahaha!”

Huo Yao lifted him up and threw him onto the soft bed, tearing off his black cloak.

At that moment, the little snake under the door finally saw Xie Zuo’s face clearly.
