Section 4: The Exquisite Fox Egg, Shu Fu's Poisonous Plan

  Yao beast egg is also divided into superior, medium and inferior grades.

  Superior demon beast eggs, such as this Sea Blast Crocodile Demon Egg or this Green Tooth Snake Demon Egg, not only have a dazzling luster but also possess phenomena like sounds, smells, fetal movements and spiritual lights.

  Medium-sized like this fire fox egg, with distinct color differences, it looks like a delicate handicraft, quietly lying in one corner.

  The inferior ones are like stones, with dark spots on the eggshell, cracks and rebirth, only faintly revealing some vitality.

  "Wait a minute, could it be..." Looking at the Fire Fox egg, this demon master suddenly thought of a possibility. But immediately he shook his head, denying this idea.

  "Alas, it seems this child couldn't resist the temptation of the Earthly Demon Coins. But it's not surprising, Lady Shu has never been fond of him and always pinches pennies on his allowance. This bag of Earthly Demon Coins must be a small fortune to him." The Demon Tamer secretly pitied Chu Yun.

  A bag of Geo coins for a superior demonic beast egg, this exchange is really not worth it!

  "So, I'll just have to choose this Fire Fox egg then." At this time, Chu Yun also walked forward, gently stroking the eggshell with his palm. In a daze, he seemed to feel the response of the living being inside the egg.

  So lively, so warm. He couldn't help but smile, this feeling, as if from a past life.

  "Wait! You little...!" Shu Er saw Chu Yun smile and suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, realizing something was off. He compared notes with himself and immediately sensed that something was fishy - could it be that Chu Yun was deceiving him?

  "What, you want to take back the Ge Sa coin?" Chu Yun looked at him with a glance, and immediately used an urgent tone, even slapping his hand on the leather pouch in his bosom, making a gesture as if to protect the Ge Sa coin.

  "Hmph, I was worried for nothing! This little brat is just a country bumpkin who's never seen the city. Thirty pieces of silver are just my monthly allowance. Huh! Stupid kid, wait and cry later!" The disdainful gaze flashed in his eyes, and Shu Er felt greatly relieved at once.

  "Alright, since you've all made your choices. So, Shu Da, the explosive crocodile's beast egg is yours. Shu Er, take good care of the green snake's beast egg. Chu Yun, the fire fox egg isn't bad either, work hard!"

  Having obtained the affirmation of the noble witch, Shu Da and Shu Er finally put their minds at ease.

  "Ah, thank you for Grandfather's teachings." Chu Yun carefully brought the demon beast egg over and held it in her arms, bowing to the Earth Altar Demon Master in gratitude.

  "Let's go, let's go! Mother is still waiting for us outside!" Shu Er called out to Shu Da, casually picking up the Grass Snake Demon Egg and walking away without looking back.

  "But this egg is so big, how can I hold it?" Shu Dai stared blankly at the giant Sea Exploding Turtle Egg in front of him.

  "Serves you right, haha!" came Shu Er's voice, reveling in her misfortune.

  "Don't worry, someone will naturally send it over." The Earth Altar's Royal Demon Master said.

  Shu Dai immediately smiled and patted the egg: "Old man, remember to send me home quickly!" After finishing speaking, he glanced at Chu Yun beside him, hummed, and turned around to leave.

  "Grandfather, I'm leaving." Chu Yun also spoke up from the side.

  "Alas, you kid... just work hard, okay."

  "Hmm..."

  As she stepped out of the temple, Chu Yun was greeted by a vast expanse of bright blue sky. In the distance, the sea and sky merged into one color, with seagulls flying overhead, waves rolling in, and the salty sea air filling her senses. Nearby stood tall green palm trees, and on the colorful path paved with shells of all colors, a delicate and beautiful carriage came to a stop.

  The carriage had four wheels and a double shaft, with a spacious and magnificent compartment. The base was made of white silver, and the trimmings were made of yellow gold. In front of the carriage stood four large horses, which were no ordinary horses, but were called "Treading Wave Horses". They were a kind of magical beast that could tread on the waves as if they were flat ground. At the front and back of the carriage stood two demon-controlling masters, each with six bags of spiritual talismans at their waist. They had an air of profundity and stability about them.

  Chu Yun saw this horse-drawn carriage and her pupils contracted, it was Shu Furen's carriage.

  "Hey, Chuyun, come here, your mother wants to scold you!" The red silk window curtain of the carriage suddenly opened, and Shu Da's face appeared, impatiently shouting at Chuyun.

  Chu Yun was about to refuse and turn around to leave, when he suddenly saw the four demon-controlling masters. These were personal attendants brought by Madame Shu from her maiden home. After a moment's thought, he walked over with a calm expression.

  Halfway through, he had already heard in the carriage, Shu Er was talking endlessly, boasting about his clever strategy in the land altar.

  "Madam Shu." He walked closer to the carriage, five steps away, and stopped. He made a fist with his hand towards the carriage.

  The carriage shook slightly, apparently someone was changing positions. Then a faint cold hum came, the window curtain opened a corner, revealing a woman's chin. Her skin was covered with a thick layer of white powder, this chin was sharp and not round enough, silently showing her owner's narrow-mindedness and harsh temperament.

  "Chu Yun, since you've participated in the coming-of-age ceremony, you're no longer considered a child. As an adult, you should start your own family and career. Since you left Shu Family City on your own accord, you might as well not come back. After starting your own family and career, it will also make your adoptive father proud."

  Mrs. Shu's voice was sharp and cold. She paused for a moment before continuing.

  "Heh heh, all these years, you've been freeloading at our Su family's place, and we didn't make a fuss about it. Here are twenty pieces of Di Sha stone coins, consider them as startup funds for your future endeavors. Don't say I, as an elder, haven't taken care of you. I'll go talk to your adoptive father about this, since you're so clever, you should know how to be grateful."

  Her words were full of meaning.

  "With just twenty pieces of Ge Shi currency, you think you can buy off the troubles that will come when my adoptive father returns?" Chu Yun's response was equally meaningful.

  "Those who are owed a debt of gratitude will be repaid; those who have been wronged will be avenged. Don't worry, Madame Shu."

  Patter.

  A light sound, a bag of black stone coins was thrown out from the window and fell on the road. It collided with seashells with a crisp sound. The black cloth bag lay quietly on top of the colorful shells, which clashed with the surrounding beach atmosphere. In Chuyun's eyes, it looked even more jarring.

  "In my past life, I was right here, furiously roaring and clamoring to see my adoptive father. As a result, I got beaten up, and the demon beast egg in my arms was ruined, with cracks appearing on it. Hehe, at that time, I was really naive..."

  With a self-deprecating smile in his heart, Chu Yun calmly bent down and picked up the cloth bag containing the Ge Xuan coins. He habitually weighed it once and immediately felt that something was off about its weight.

  He secretly seethed with anger, biting his teeth without saying a word, only thanking her and saying: "Thank you, madam, for your gift. Chu Yun bids farewell."

  "Huh?" Watching Chu Yun quietly leave, Madame Shu was filled with surprise. According to her expectations, Chu Yun should have made a big fuss, and she would have had an excuse to take advantage of the opportunity to make a move on his demonic beast egg. But unexpectedly, Chu Yun was so tolerant!

  "It's been three days since we last met, and this little rabbit has changed a lot. How come he seems to be hiding his emotions, giving off an air of mystery?" As soon as she thought of Chu Yun's calm and peaceful black eyes, and his face without any ripples, Madame Shu suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, rising from the bottom of her heart.

  "This little brat is a freak! He was hiding before, making people underestimate him. Now that the coming-of-age ceremony has arrived, he can't hold back anymore. No, no way. I absolutely cannot let him rise to prominence at the coming-of-age ceremony! The Shu Family Island is my child's property, and I absolutely cannot let this outsider take it away!"

  "Hmph, it's fine if you don't make a fuss. But I've also made arrangements for that bag of Earthly Demonic Stones. Just wait until he hatches... Chu Yun, Chu Yun, you're still too young and can't keep things hidden. You want to compete with me? You're still too inexperienced!"

  Thinking of this, Mrs. Shu couldn't help but narrow her eyes, a sinister and ruthless glint flashing across them.

  "Mother, do you think I'm clever or not? I only used thirty pieces of Earthly Stone Coins to trick that little brat Chu Yun!" After speaking excitedly for half a day, seeing that his mother didn't react at all, Shu Er immediately became unhappy and sat down beside Mrs. Shu, shaking her shoulder with his hand.

  "Little rabbit is so lacking and thirsty for Geo Coins, it seems that I will have to use my bag...". Hatching the demon beast egg requires a lot of Geo Coins.

  "When the time comes, he'll be in for a surprise!" Mrs. Shu sneered to herself, then turned her face towards Shu Er with a warm smile, overflowing with doting affection: "Good kids! You two are Mother's clever children, how can that outsider Chuyun compare to you both? Humph, it's just your father who thinks she's precious. The Shu family island will definitely be yours, Mother will take care of it for you first, no one can take it away!"

  The warm sunshine, the waves rising and falling at my feet, on the snow-white beach are embedded sparse colorful shells. Occasionally, there are small monsters such as martial arts crabs and seaweed turtles moving their cute and small bodies on the beach.

  After parting with Madame Shu, Chu Yun strolled here, her face calm and serene, but in her heart, a cold ripple was surging.

  "Always giving your own son thirty pieces of Lishi coins as pocket money, but only twenty for me, and they were even tampered with! Madam Shu, your intentions are truly vicious!"

  Chu Yun weighed the cloth bag given by Madame Shu in her hand, slowly stopped her footsteps, looked around and didn't find anyone following, then suddenly swung her arm and threw the cloth bag containing twenty pieces of Di Sha stone coins into the sea.

  The burlap sack floated up and down in the shallow blue water, then sank to the bottom of the sea after a while, being taken away by the rolling waves.

  During the process of hatching the demon beast egg, it is necessary to use the Ge Sa stone coin. Mrs. Shu knew this and used it to play tricks, wanting to harm the Huo Huo Fox Demon in Chu Yun's belly, which was originally "born with low talent and mediocre qualifications".

  Unfortunately, she absolutely would not have expected that Chu Yun was a reborn person!

  Yes, just three weeks ago, as if waking up from a dream. Chu Yun found himself really back to twenty years ago. At this time he was thirteen years old, and everything in life returned to the starting point, like a blank sheet of paper, waiting for him to rewrite it again.

  He quickly adjusted and adapted to such a life. Then he actively left Shu Family City, escaping the surveillance of Madam Shu.

  In the second week, he did nothing and started recalling his past life. Then he recorded all the important information.

  In the third week, he welcomed the first turning point in his life - coming of age ceremony.

  At the Coming of Age ceremony, he cleverly manipulated Shu Da and Shu Eri into a spin cycle, then made the same choice as his past life - he chose this "Fire Fox Orb".

  It's called a fire fox egg, of course it's not accurate.

  Only Chu Yun knew that it was not a Fire Fox Egg, but a Heavenly Fox Egg!

  The beast egg is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. But above the top grade, there is another grade - the ultimate product!
