"What do you think will happen if I feed you these nine Life Essences?"
She looked at Liu Zheng, struck by a sudden whimsy.
"Boss, I don't know. But I do know you might lose a capable and loyal employee."
Liu Zheng felt a chill on his scalp and urgently composed his words.
"You're quick to catch on."
Si Xue curled her lip and tossed the nine beads and the dragon egg into the air.
The nine beads spun around the dragon egg in different orbits, like nine planets orbiting the sun.
With each turn, the glow of the nine beads dimmed, while the glow of the dragon egg brightened.
After spinning nine hundred and ninety-nine times, the nine beads completely turned into stones, crashed to the ground, and disintegrated into dust.
And the cracks on the dragon egg's surface vanished entirely, as those Energy Crystals were reabsorbed into the eggshell.
"Go, hatch it."
Si Xue said.
"Huh? Me?"
Liu Zheng hesitated a bit.
