Here's the English translation of Chapter 5728:
Chapter 5728: Extra - Qiao Mu and Xuan Huang Defying Heaven: Hatching Eggs
Nitian had come to understand Little Qiao's nature.
This child was usually quiet and extremely obedient, but she possessed a heart that could sense all sorts of treasures...
Don't laugh when I tell you, no matter where a treasure was hidden, it seemed the little one could instantly sense it, and with a pounce, she'd pinpoint its location!
Just like a few days ago.
When Nitian was in a life-and-death struggle with her opponent...
The little girl, wearing a white dress, propped her chin and looked up at her opponent.
She just squatted there quietly, appearing at a very inappropriate time, startling everyone.
At that moment, Nitian saw her opponent's mouth twitch. Instinctively, he kicked out, aiming at the child.
"Little Bao!" Nitian's face changed in alarm, and she immediately darted towards the child.
But how fast was that person's kick? It looked as if it would directly land on the child's head.
With that much kicking power, let alone a delicate little girl, even a burly man would probably have his head kicked open.
So, in everyone's eyes, this undoubtedly fatal head-kick meant the little girl was doomed.
However! However?
"Crack!!"
"Aow—" The one who kicked instead let out a pained shriek.
His whole body twitched. He landed on one leg, scrambled back a few steps, stumbling and almost falling to the ground.
Looking at his right foot, which had kicked, it was now unnaturally twisted, clearly fractured!
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the little girl who was still squatting on the ground, her head turning to look at the other person.
Her expression was as innocent as could be.
The next second, the nimble little figure moved.
In an instant, she darted in front of the opponent. Her seemingly slender, white, flawless little hands suddenly grabbed at the person's legs.
This was a true grab!
These seemingly softer-than-tofu little hands, unexpectedly, when they landed on the leg, their five fingers were as sharp and terrifying as steel claws.
The person's face turned green with fright! He had no idea where this monstrosity came from!
At such a young age, what terrifying battle intent was emanating from her whole body?
"Crack!" His leg bone again made a sickening sound.
The little one grabbed his leg, swung her body gently backward, and had already leaped skyward, her hands reaching out for an unknown egg that the opponent was cradling.
The guy, who clearly saw the little one's intention to rob, instinctively clutched the unknown blood-patterned egg tightly in his arms, letting out an urgent roar, "What are you doing???"
Robbery in broad daylight, holy shit!
At such a young age, where did you learn this tyrannical banditry??
Someone else just found this egg, and you, like a ghost, appeared, and with such a pure intention to rob.
The little girl gave the other person no chance to react. Her small, steel-plate-like tender hand suddenly swung a mighty backhand slap, crashing onto the opponent's old face!
Crack! The person suddenly realized that half of the bones in his old face seemed to have cracked open from the middle!
Nitian: !!!
Damn it, even though it looks so satisfying!
But the little one's reckless, bandit-like behavior made Nitian frown.
No sooner said than done, Nitian had already darted behind the little one.
Everyone else was still somewhat shocked by this sudden turn of events, not quite having recovered.
It wasn't that they were to blame for being so surprised; indeed, the little girl, like a pink dumpling, did look too small.
Yet, this soft, tender little glutinous rice ball had, time and again, snapped the old bones of their comrade!
If they hadn't witnessed it themselves, everyone would surely have dismissed it as a fantasy!
It was simply unbelievable. Had children in this era become so terrifying?
Nitian's unlucky opponent was stunned by the slap, and only after a few seconds did he spit out blood with a 噗 sound.
At this moment, he felt pain in his legs, and his facial bones were aching. His entire face seemed to no longer belong to him.
But then, the little one's steel-plate-like hand had already grabbed his arm and squeezed hard.
A heart-stopping "crack" sound was heard.
"Aow ah!!" How could he still hold onto that egg? The blood-patterned egg simply rolled down, scooped up by the little girl and cradled in her arms.
This series of continuous actions only took one or two minutes, but everyone watched as their teammate, who was perfectly fine just moments ago, became riddled with wounds.
Countless bones, big and small, were broken. The unlucky guy couldn't even stand steadily now. When the little girl lightly kicked him and retreated, he fell backward accordingly.
He hit the ground with a heavy thud.
As the hard, cold stone ground chilled him to the core, he finally regained his senses.
He clearly understood one thing: he had been instantly defeated by a seven-year-old girl in a matter of minutes.
"Ah!" he roared, letting out a broken shout of fury, his eyes burning with anger.
He only thought that this little devil star was deliberately sent by Qin Nitian to torment him and trample on his dignity!
Everyone was seething with anger. The person they sent out hadn't even truly fought against Qin Nitian yet, but somehow he was inexplicably rendered half-dead like this?
He's just garbage, useless!
Little Qiao, hugging the egg, didn't need Nitian to anxiously call her. She had already turned and rushed towards her.
Nitian embraced her, her face filled with barely suppressed anger. She poked the child's head.
"You mischievous child! How can you be so disobedient? Are you willing to risk your life for some thing?"
Who taught you to value wealth over life?!
Saying this, she angrily slapped the child's bottom twice.
The child winced, her misty eyes pitifully glancing at Nitian.
Nitian's stern face was a bit scary.
Her face was tight, her lips pursed, an expression of not wanting to be bothered. The child's eyes immediately revealed a slight hint of fear.
Shishu is angry! Very angry! Why? The child's tiny mind couldn't figure it out. She snuggled closer to Nitian, rubbing herself against her.
Annoying!
Nitian had intended to give the child a harsh glare.
But upon meeting those misty, wide, round eyes.
She saw a timid look in the child's eyes. Somehow, Nitian's anger quickly subsided.
This little imp!
She was so angry, yet the child still looked innocent and confused. It was actually a bit funny to think about.
When she had first brought this child back.
She remembered that this child was extremely distrustful of anyone.
Her small face was as expressionless as a carved piece of wood; no one could enter her eyes.
Xuan Huang's description was that there were no living creatures in this child's eyes.
She was like a death emissary who had climbed out of the Nine Nether Hells. When her dark, hollow eyes looked at you, they could make your heart pound with fear.
But now, she was clearly much more lively.
Look at her rosy, moist little face, and her eyes, as if they could speak.
She even knew that if she made her unhappy, she would show a timid little expression, and she even knew how to carefully flatter her with a silly grin.
Nitian couldn't help but laugh for a moment.
Oh well, oh well, there's nothing more to criticize.
Whose fault was this anyway? It had to be Xuan Huang's fault for raising the child with such... ahem, bandit-like tendencies!
The little girl leaned in her arms, still clutching the egg tightly, secretly pondering if her Shishu's expression was still angry. Her small hand couldn't help but rub the egg.
Egg, you must strive for greatness. Don't let my hard work in getting you back be in vain.
...
...
In the Ancestral Land Square, a small figure, chin propped, gazed up at the dim, drizzling sky.
Her small mouth was puffed out, a lollipop-like object in her mouth. Hearing footsteps, she turned her head to the source of the sound.
The young woman looked at the mischievous child before her, and her mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Before Lady Nitian went into seclusion, she had entrusted this child to her.
But this mischievous child's poker face was truly comical.
So young, yet as solemn as an old man. No matter how she teased her, she still didn't say a word.
If she annoyed the mischievous child enough, she would definitely roll her eyes, turn her head, and bother no longer.
"Little Bao!" The young woman ran up, smiling like a flower, reaching out to hug her.
The mischievous child glanced at her disdainfully, wiggling her small bottom, and the egg beneath her also wiggled along.
Young woman: ...
What does it feel like to be despised by a little kid?
Moreover, what was the situation with this child, squatting here day and night hatching an egg...?
To be precise, the spot where this child was squatting, according to her grandfather, was the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the area.
Ever since Lady Nitian went into seclusion.
The spiritual energy, well, it was all absorbed by Lady Nitian alone.
Other disciples, and even the elders in seclusion, inexplicably came out to look at the sky.
When asked, they found out it was Lady Nitian's doing, and immediately, everyone was speechless.
And the place where this child was now squatting was the only spot where some residual spiritual energy still remained...
Then, she would hatch the egg here when she had nothing to do, to the point of not even wanting to eat. She didn't know what was going on!
The young woman, feeling like an aunt, wanted to persuade the mischievous child to eat.
Unexpectedly, the child pulled a wooden board from beside her, slapped a white paper onto it with a "snap," quickly wrote a few large characters, and then held the board with her small paw, thrusting it in front of her.
The woman was instantly amused and annoyed! Holy moly! The mischievous child had written: "Don't bother me!"
This child was so clever, she must be able to speak!
The young woman felt this from the bottom of her heart and couldn't help but poke her taut little face. "Little Bao, tell your big sister, are you hatching an egg here?"
The child gave her a "you already know" look, her eyes filled with disdain.
She was starting to miss her master and Shishu's personal world now. The spiritual energy there was countless times denser than this ghostly place!
Plus, the place was vast and sparsely populated. When she didn't want to talk sometimes, she could just stay anywhere, and no one but her master and Shishu would be able to find her!
Little Qiao didn't know that Nitian had deliberately left her in the clan to interact more with people.
It wasn't good for the child to always be cooped up in a world.
It really wasn't beneficial for her physical and mental development at all.
It was better to leave her in a place where people gathered, so the child could interact more with others.
Preferably, her personality could become a bit more outgoing, instead of being sullen all day, like a seventy or eighty-year-old grandparent at such a young age.
I wonder how long Shishu will be in seclusion!
The child propped her small chin in one hand, sighing at the sky with a helpless expression.
It had been a long time since she had seen her little brother. She didn't know if he was bored in the world!
The young woman almost burst out laughing inside; how could this child be so funny!
With a poker face and an expression of speechless questioning of the heavens, who taught her that?
"Little Bao! How about this, big sister will take you to eat now!"
"After we eat well, we'll have a good sleep! Then we'll come back here to hatch the egg. What do you think of this suggestion?"
Not good! A wooden board with white paper was held up.
The young woman's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
"How can you grow without eating? You can't just stay here hatching eggs all the time!"
The little girl ignored her.
"Little Bao, then tell big sister, what kind of egg is this?"
"If you tell big sister, big sister will give you candy!"
The child looked at her disdainfully, then casually pulled the lollipop from her mouth and waved it in front of the young woman.
A strange, clear fragrance wafted over, and the young woman's eyes widened.
Her initially indifferent gaze suddenly landed on the lollipop in the child's hand.
The child hastily popped the candy back into her mouth, looking at her with vigilance.
The young woman's mouth twitched, and she suddenly felt an urge to burst out laughing.
My goodness, do you think I want to snatch your drool-covered lollipop?!
Although that medicinal candy smelled uniquely fragrant and its effects must be extraordinary, that doesn't mean we want to steal food from your saliva!
"This candy is clearly made from various high-quality medicinal herbs."
This wasn't just any candy; it was clearly spiritual medicine. Lady Nitian was truly generous.
"Ahem." The young woman inexplicably chuckled, raising a hand to caress the child's head. "Little Bao, do you know what kind of egg this is?"
The child hesitated, looked at her, then shook her head, and again held up the board in front of them.
"Hatching this egg for little brother!"
Little brother is Master's son. He's so well-behaved. He's usually carried around in a sleeping basket and loves to wave his hands and feet when he's bored.
"Then let big sister see this egg."
The child looked at her with slight hesitation, then reluctantly took the egg from beneath her bottom and held it out to the young woman.
The egg had blood-red patterns etched on its surface, and the entire egg emitted a rich and extremely strong fire spiritual aura.
Extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary.
"Little Bao, big sister thinks this egg seems very unusual. Are you just going to give such a precious egg to your little brother? You won't have one for yourself then!"
The child gave her an eye roll.
Swish, swish, swish, the child wrote a few more characters, a perfunctory answer.
The white board read: "Must find a fierce guardian for little brother, otherwise someone will steal it!"
Young woman: ...
"Alright, go on now! Don't bother me anymore, I still need to hatch my egg!"
This time, the child didn't write anything. She simply condemned her with her eyes.
"Alright, alright! Since you don't want to leave this place, how about I bring some food over for you?"
The young woman looked at the child affectionately, instinctively reaching out to stroke her small head.
This child was so endearing, simply adorable to look at.
The little one looked at her, and finally, unable to bear the young woman's nagging, she reluctantly gave a big nod.
