The door, which wasn’t fully closed, was pushed open, and Zhong Tian Jun walked in. Seeing the scene, he asked, “What’s going on?”
I broke free from Gou Hun’s grip and ran to Zhong Tian Jun. “Gou Hun cooked my duck!”
“Huh?” Zhong Tian Jun flipped his hand, presenting a duck egg. “You mean this?”
I was stunned, took it, and saw it was indeed Ya Ya. Looking at him with teary eyes, I asked, “How did it end up with you?”
Zhong Tian Jun explained, “Last time when you and Chuan Yue Jun were on a mission, I found Ya Ya sitting under the mahjong table when I returned. After bringing her home, she soon turned into an egg. Just now, Mo Ri Jun told me you were back, so I brought her over.”
I wiped my tears. The duck egg in my arms had lost its immortal energy. Soon, it would dissipate under the divine realm’s immortal energy. I pushed him out, laughing, “I have something to do. I’ll thank you another day!”
After closing the door, I transferred immortal energy to the egg. In moments, Ya Ya hatched and returned to her original form. I sighed with relief, looked at her wings, and shook my head, “If you’re going to be eaten, at least get fattened up first. You’re too skinny.”
Ya Ya stretched her neck and chirped, “Ga.”
“Okay, okay, you can’t understand me, and I can’t understand you. We’re even,” I said. Ya Ya stopped fussing and waddled to Gou Hun’s feet, rubbing her neck. I coughed and said, “Why didn’t you explain earlier?”
Gou Hun was silent for a moment, then said, “Didn’t want to.”
I bit my lip. The earlier commotion felt just like when we were together, but we can never go back to how things were.
No going back.
When Jianghu came to find me, I was still nestled in my blanket.
“Rebirth, rebirth,” Jianghu bounced in and asked directly, “I heard you were suspended from your salary and had your bonus deducted by the Supreme God?”
I silently spat blood: “Jianghu, can I swear?”
“Wuwuwu, bastards, rubbing salt in my wounds. Do you have any conscience? I’m dying!”
“I brought you something to eat.”
I lifted the blanket: “I’ll eat first before dying.”
