Capítulo 1274: Chapter 1275: A Nest of Eggs
Ever since entering the small town, she had been on edge, filled with fear, perhaps due to her weaker realm.
Due to her lower realm, she couldn’t protect herself and had to stay alert to avoid being ambushed.
Step by step, Lin Yifan soon arrived at the “presidential suite.”
He leaned close to the door, pressed his ear against it, eavesdropping to see if there were any sounds or movements inside.
The “presidential suite” was quite quiet, with seemingly nothing out of the ordinary.
Lin Yifan relaxed, preparing to push the door open and enter.
At this moment, Xiaofang came over and asked, “Yifan, why are you acting so secretively? Could there be danger inside?”
“No, it’s just to be safe,” Lin Yifan replied, easing Xiaofang’s concerns.
Xiaofang was already frightened to death and didn’t want any added psychological burden or influence.
“Oh! Then let’s go in!”
Xiaofang relaxed.
Seeing Lin Yifan so cautious earlier, she feared there might be something inside, which is why she spoke up. Now that there’s nothing, she was less afraid.
After calming Xiaofang’s nervousness, Lin Yifan pushed the door open.
With a “click” sound, the door opened.
What caught his eye was a relatively tidy scene.
In this dilapidated small town, finding a room so well-preserved was truly unexpected.
Lin Yifan thought there might still be danger inside.
So, he poked his head out, glancing at the ceiling, checking for any spirit beasts like spiders up there.
This vigilance was because, during a previous treasure hunt in the Beixuan Palace secret realm, he had been attacked by a large black spider in a small hut.
At that time, the large black spider descended from above to take his life; if not for the timely warning from the black bead, he might have lost his life.
To avoid a similar situation, he had to stay extremely alert, observing areas most would overlook.
The ceiling was bare, no spirit beasts, no issues, much like the roof of ordinary ancient buildings.
With that, Lin Yifan relaxed and walked into the house.
The house was quite spacious, with a bed made of golden sandalwood.
The golden sandalwood remained intact to this day, though covered in dust, giving it an old look.
Golden sandalwood is a rare wood, exuding fragrance and being very sturdy. Its sturdiness is akin to steel, so someone with a high status must have slept on such a luxurious bed.
With excitement, Lin Yifan quickly approached the bed, checking if there were any bundles on it.
He opened the mosquito net, glanced, but his joyous smile froze.
His solidified, handsome face looked uneasy; Xiaofang didn’t know what Lin Yifan saw that made him suddenly stand there motionless.
Curious, she slowly approached, tilted her head, and stole a glance at the bed.
Even with just a quick look, she saw something.
It was white, oval, like an egg but much larger than an egg.
Clearly, these were eggs, and there wasn’t just one, it was a whole nest of eggs.
Whose eggs are all these? She couldn’t figure it out.
Lin Yifan was equally astonished, genuinely shocked; however, he was more interested in a gray bundle under the bed.
The gray bundle was intact, untouched, indicating the treasures its owner brought in life might still be inside.
To grab the bundle under the bed, he had to get past this nest of eggs. Lin Yifan didn’t know what spirit beast these eggs belonged to and wanted to crack one open to see.
Just as he was about to make a move, Xiaofang stopped him.
This bed was already occupied by spirit beasts; if they disturbed the spirit beast’s eggs now, it would surely attract the spirit beast’s attention. Once the spirit beast discovered something amiss at “home,” it would definitely rush back and fight them, leading to yet another fierce battle.
There were too many spirit beasts in the secret realm, impossible to kill them all, so to save energy, avoiding trouble when possible is best.
Lin Yifan understood why Xiaofang stopped him, so he restrained his bad intentions, stepped onto the bed, and reached for the gray bundle under the bed.
This bed was much bigger than a regular bed, at least three meters; thus Lin Yifan had to step onto the bed, cross the nest of eggs to reach the gray bundle at the far end; otherwise, he would have used his sword to fetch it directly.
Xiaofang had never seen such a large bed and didn’t know its purpose. Could it be for the ancient era’s mighty men with many wives to sleep on?
Thinking about this made her blush and shy. After all, her own prince charming had many women, too, and she wondered if he’d also build such a big bed in the future.
“Scoundrel!”
She couldn’t help but curse quietly, thinking Lin Yifan was really bad.
“What?”
Amidst cautiously dodging the eggs, Lin Yifan turned his head curiously to ask.
He vaguely heard Xiaofang mumbling something but wasn’t clear, so he wanted to clarify.
“Nothing, you continue your business!”
Xiaofang responded, too embarrassed to voice such a shy matter.
Lin Yifan was puzzled, not knowing what Xiaofang was up to.
He then continued to grab the bundle he’d been eyeing, not wanting to waste time.
This nest of eggs on the bed made his progress difficult because the eggs weren’t clustered but scattered, one here, one there, which was quite frustrating.
He couldn’t understand why this spirit beast would lay eggs here and there randomly; was it amusing?
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he really wanted to stomp on all of them.
After continuous effort, Lin Yifan finally seized the gray bundle.
The gray bundle felt heavy, as if something was inside.
It was definitely not clothes or similar items because such things wouldn’t weigh so much.
If not clothes, perhaps it was rare ore, weapons, or martial arts secret manuals.
No matter what, as long as it’s not clothes.
Seeing Lin Yifan overjoyed, Xiaofang couldn’t help but ask, “Yifan! What did you get that makes you so happy?”
“Got treasure!” Lin Yifan replied excitedly.
“Really?”
“Yes!”
“That’s great! That’s great!”
Xiaofang jumped up, adorable like a pretty little princess.
Lin Yifan was also enthusiastic, so with a light step, he quickly headed back the way they came.
However, walking too hastily, he accidentally knocked into one of the eggs.
This egg rolled towards another, leading to a sharp collision.
The collided egg then hit other eggs, causing them to strike others, and one after another, gradually, many eggs cracked and were about to break apart.
