In the tall treehouse, Bao'er and Xia Yunqi were lying on the ivy table. They held their chins with both hands and stared at the egg in the middle of the table with their big black eyes.
The egg was bigger than a cantaloupe. It was covered with a layer of dark brown substance that looked like a coating. The texture was fine and shiny.
The two little girls were stunned.
Bao'er couldn't believe it. "Dad, is this Ajiu's egg?"
"It's not Ajiu's egg."
Zuo Yi explained, "But if it hatches successfully, then it will be a griffin."
He took this griffin egg from the royal treasury. According to Princess Elaine, this egg was very strange. The royal mages tried everything but couldn't hatch it. Then, it didn't lose its vitality. In the end, it became useless and was stored away.
Zuo Yi took it because he found it interesting. However, he didn't know how to hatch it.
When he sent the two little girls to the treehouse, he suddenly remembered and took it out for them to play with.
Bao'er's eyes lit up. "Can I touch it?"
Zuo Yi smiled. "Of course."
After the griffin egg was in his hand, he played with it for a while. It wasn't dangerous, and he could sense the existence of life hidden deep in the egg. He guessed that it might be sealed by some kind of power.
Zuo Yi also tried to inject holy power into the egg. Interestingly, the holy power was absorbed, but there were no signs of hatching. There must be other conditions.
After the failed attempt, Zuo Yi didn't continue. He was afraid that he would destroy the little life in the seal.
With Zuo Yi's permission, Bao'er stretched out her hand and carefully pressed it on the griffin egg.
"Huh?"
When her palm came into contact with the eggshell, her eyes lit up and she let out a soft cry.
Zuo Yi was puzzled. "Hmm?"
"Dad."
Bao'er tilted her head and smiled sweetly. "I can feel its heart beating. Thump thump thump!"
Really?
Zuo Yi was stunned.
He could sense the existence of the life sealed inside the griffin egg, but he could not detect any heartbeat.
"Qiqi, come and touch it too."
Bo'er eagerly invited his little friend, "Its heart is beating so fast!"
"Yes."
Xia Yunqi curiously reached out and pressed on the eggshell.
After a while, she shook her head in disappointment. "No, I don't feel it."
"Ah?"
The Bao'er was distressed. "I clearly felt it, Dad."
She turned to Zuo Yi for help.
Zuo Yi had no choice but to reach out his hand. However, like Xia Yunqi, he could not feel the heartbeat from the griffin egg.
"How could this be?"
Seeing Zuo Yi shake his head, the little girl couldn't help but pout. "I'll try again."
How depressing. Why can't Dad and Qiqi feel it?
"It's fine."
Zuo Yi smiled and patted her head. "Then you and Qiqi can play here. Dad has to go back for a while."
He still had some things to take care of.
Just as Zuo Yi was about to teleport back to the Linjiang mansion, a dazzling green light suddenly appeared between the Bao'er's little fingers that were pressing on the griffin egg!
In the next moment, the green light quickly seeped into the egg like a thirsty sponge greedily absorbing water.
The Bao'er's little hand was stuck to the eggshell. The green light flickered, illuminating her serious face.
Beside them, Xia Yunqi was stunned.
"Woof!"
Teck, who had been lying under the table, suddenly jumped up and barked nervously.
Zuo Yi felt that something was wrong. "Bao'er, let go!"
He did not directly pull the Bao'er's hand away, because the natural power that the little girl had just released had clearly resonated with the griffin egg. The consequences of pulling it away by force were unpredictable.
Of course, if the situation was critical, Zuo Yi would not hesitate to act.
"Dad, it …"
Fine sweat appeared on the Bao'er's forehead. She said with difficulty, "It seems like it's about to come out!"
Crack!
As if confirming the little girl's words, a thin crack suddenly appeared on the griffin egg's thick shell.
This was really …
Zuo Yi frowned. "Baby, don't force yourself."
The little girl was clearly using her natural power to hatch the griffin egg. There were signs of success.
However, she was already very tired. If she wanted to hatch the griffin egg, she might not be able to hold on.
Compared to the griffin egg, the little girl was Zuo Yi's sweetheart. He could not allow any harm to come to her.
"I can do it!"
However, the Bao'er's eyes revealed a stubborn look. She did not retract her hand and continued to pour her power into the egg.
Xia Yunqi was anxious. She could not help but clench her little hand.
She wanted to help, but she did not know how.
Zuo Yi was sure that he could stop the little girl, but the light in the Bao'er's eyes reminded him of a familiar figure. He was slightly absent-minded.
Crack! Crack!
The sound of cracking was endless. More and more cracks appeared on the eggshell. The entire griffin egg was trembling.
However, the Bao'er could not hold on. Although she had received the inheritance of the destined witch and had the natural power, she had only been there for a short period of time. Her power was still very weak.
The green light in her palm was getting dimmer and dimmer. It was difficult to continue!
Right at this moment, a large hand gently pressed down on her small hand, and a golden-white light instantly enveloped the griffin egg.
At this critical moment, Zuo Yi made his move!
He used his own holy power to replace the Bao'er's natural power and poured it into the egg.
As for whether he could complete the final incubation, Zuo Yi did not care.
The most important thing was the Bao'er.
"Dad."
The little girl pursed her lips, looking very wronged.
Zuo Yi lovingly wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, "Dad will help you."
The Bao'er nodded and looked at the griffin egg.
Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the griffin's egg, and wisps of white light seeped out from within. Then, a crisp "Pa" sound was heard, and a coin-sized eggshell peeled off.
"Ah!"
The little girl opened her eyes wide in surprise. She saw a dark golden horn poking out from the gap.
Did it really work?
Zuo Yi was also very surprised. He withdrew his little hand holding the Bao'er and stopped pouring the power of light.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
The eggshell continued to crack and fall off. The little life sealed inside finally revealed its head.
It looked like a newborn lion cub, but it had sharp horns on its head. Its eyes were still closed, and its wet white fur was covered with mucus.
Chirp chirp chirp.
The newborn little life struggled to climb out of the eggshell. It opened its mouth and stuck out its little pink tongue. It let out a low cry. It looked pitiful and cute!
It instantly melted the hearts of the two little guys.
