From then on, Jack's strength increased significantly, equivalent to having explored several dungeons without leaving his home.
After organizing his gains, Jack carried the Ice Dragon Egg towards the kitchen to give his wife the good news.
As soon as he entered the door, he excitedly said.
"Keqing! We are invincible!"
Keqing turned her head and looked at the item Jack was holding.
"Oh, is this an egg laid by the Big Horns? It looks pretty good. You're injured, so it's good for you to replenish yourself."
"Uh... Keqing, this isn't for eating. Could you take a closer look?"
"Oh?"
Keqing then stopped what she was doing and clicked on the Ice Dragon Egg's item information to view it.
"This is!! An Ice Dragon Egg!"
"Hmph hmph~~"
"Where did you get it from! Didn't you say it only drops from hunting high-tier adult dragons?"
"I have my own clever plan~"
Keqing rolled her eyes at him, "Look at how smug you are. If you don't want to say, then don't."
"Alright, do you still remember the maid outfit I gave you before?"
Keqing was startled, then remembered that wonderful night, and blushed: "That dress was torn by you! Besides, what does this have to do with the Ice Dragon Egg?"
"Cough cough, I mean both came from the same channel. I asked little Klee to help me draw some Big Lotteries, and then it came out."
"That amazing?"
"Don't you see whose daughter that is, cough, I mean sister..."
Mid-sentence, Jack felt Keqing's death glare and quickly changed his words to 'sister'.
Then he carefully looked at Keqing.
His wife's obsession with children had been growing deeper recently.
But there was no helping it; the continuation of life was a natural selection made by species for reproduction. Now that they had become long-lived beings, they no longer had the need for species reproduction after achieving longevity themselves, making it very difficult to conceive offspring.
For example, the Vidyadhara, descendants of the Aeon of Permanence in Honkai: Star Rail next door, achieved longevity through reincarnation, thus losing the ability to reproduce normally like short-lived species.
Whenever the topic of offspring came up, both of them would fall silent.
Until a scent of something burning wafted over.
"Ah! My dish is burnt!"
Keqing exclaimed and quickly returned to her work.
Jack also put away the Ice Dragon Egg and went up to help.
The two worked in tacit understanding, temporarily skipping the topic they both preferred not to discuss.
...
After lunch.
Jack built a simple dragon nest in the artificial mine in the back mountain.
After digging a pit in the ground, he placed the Ice Dragon Egg inside and poured a bucket of water over it.
Instantly, the cold air released from the Ice Dragon Egg froze the water into ice.
After all this was done, it was time to wait for the little Ice Dragon to hatch.
