Nine Wastes Continent, Biluo City.
Inside Liuyun Pavilion of the Su Family.
“Sister, Xinrou really likes this spirit beast egg. The patterns on this shell look so much like the ones on the pouch Mother once embroidered for me.”
“It’s just… just that I accidentally lost that pouch. If Sister is willing to part with it, Xinrou is willing to exchange all the elixirs and spirit stones I’ve saved over the years for it…”
Su Xinrou was dressed in a moon-white gauze dress. Her eyes were slightly red, her voice trembled, and tears threatened to fall at any moment. She looked piteous and lovely, stirring one’s protective instincts.
As soon as she finished speaking, the young man in blue standing beside her let out a cold snort.
“Su Jin, it is your honor that Xinrou likes the spirit beast egg in your hand. Give it to her at once! Do not be ungrateful!”
The voice came from the eldest son of the Su family, Su Chen, who possessed a Qi Refining Level Nine cultivation. At this moment, he looked at the girl opposite him with ice-cold eyes.
That look was not that of someone looking at his own biological younger sister, but rather that of someone looking at an enemy.
“Jin’er, you are the legitimate eldest young lady of the Su family. You have lived in luxury since you were a child; what rare treasures have you not seen?”
“Xinrou is different from you. She lost her birth mother at the age of three. She has followed us all these years and has never asked for anything. It is merely a dead egg. Do not make things difficult for Mother…”
Madam Su sighed softly, her face filled with dislike and even a hint of disgust as she looked at her daughter.
Standing beside Madam Su was a young man wearing a green mid-grade magical robe. He was the second son of the Su family, Su Ze, with a Qi Refining Level Seven cultivation. He spoke with a cold tone:
“It’s just a dead egg with no spiritual energy. Keeping it here is nothing more than a decoration. Since Xinrou likes it, just give it to her. Why act so aggrieved here?”
…
Su Jin, who was surrounded and being accused by her relatives, shook her dizzy head.
Her blurred vision gradually cleared, and as she took in her unfamiliar surroundings, her brain stalled for a moment.
“What’s the situation? Wasn’t I shot in the head by a robber while on my way to work? Why am I here?”
She remembered clearly that she had been on her way to a night shift at a convenience store when a gunman suddenly rushed out from a corner.
She had instinctively protected her bag, only to hear the “bang” of a gunshot. Her head was struck by the robber’s bullet, and then… there was no then.
When she opened her eyes again, she was in this scene. Before she could figure out what was happening, Su Ze’s impatient voice rang in her ears again:
“Mother, Eldest Brother, why are you wasting your breath on her! It’s just a dead egg with no spiritual energy. It’s not like it’s anything important. Just take it!”
As he spoke, he actually stepped forward, reaching out to snatch the egg.
The words of the people in front of her—one after another, filled with unreasonable logic—poured into Su Jin’s ears. Now, this young man was even trying to seize the egg by force.
Angry at the aggressive faces and the absurd arguments, Su Jin gritted her teeth until they creaked.
Although she hadn’t fully grasped the situation yet, the instinctive reaction of this body told her that she absolutely could not give this egg away!
“Go! Go! Go! Get lost!”
