He remained watching the egg when suddenly the egg moved.

"..."

Lang Yuan felt stupid. He thought he saw the egg move. He felt like laughing. Why would the egg move? He convinced himself that the place must be up high and it rolled down because he was not there to block the way. The egg continued rolling until it reached the front of his toes.

"You're funny," Lang Yuan muttered. He patted the smooth surface of the egg in jest. 

He tried lifting the egg but it is heavier than he thought. He then rolled it back to the silk where it was nestled earlier. Lang Yuan noticed that the glass casket where they're encased is no longer there. Maybe it broke when they fell down?

His thoughts wandered a lot that he forgot about the existence of the egg. The egg noticed its 'mother's' inattention and fumed in rage. Why is his mother ignoring him? He must always and only be looking at him!

But what could a baby chick inside the egg do anyway? For now, what it all can do to get Lang Yuan's attention is to jump up and down and roll around its legs...

Lang Yuan can't fathom what he was feeling as his face paled. Seeing the egg healthily jumping and rolling around him, his reasons for explaining the phenomenon crumbled. There's no way an egg will move like that!

He fell to his knees with eyes wide open and mouth agape. The egg saw its mother kneel, hurriedly rolling then launching to fall unto the young man's body. Lang Yuan quickly evaded the tackle or else he will get more broken ribs to settle. The egg cried when its mother avoided his love but then quickly snuggled to its side while the boy is still in a daze.

"What is this? Why is the egg..."

He pushed the egg away. But the egg will keep on coming back. It's like a magnet that will keep on clinging as long as it could.

"Stop clinging to me ba!" He scolded it.

The egg only shook sideways as if disagreeing. Wait, it can understand him?

Egg: Of course! I can understand mother! I am a smart creature after all! Mother is cruel ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД')･ﾟ･｡

But Lang Yuan cannot hear its thoughts nor can read minds so he quickly disregarded the egg. To see something like this... maybe in this world moving eggs and what-not is normal but for a transmigrated soul like Lang Yuan, eggs are either chickens or omelets.

But this egg probably did not belong to any.

The egg took advantage of the thinking Lang Yuan and cuddled on its lap. The egg remained on Lang Yuan's side while he slept and floated in the air and even after they had fallen to the ground. The egg managed to position itself so that it was leaning on his chest, listening to the unusual heartbeat of the human.

Egg: Mother's heartbeats are really weird. It's not the same with those people. But I like this heartbeat more! Mother is really the best!

The creature inside the egg has already gained the knowledge and wisdom from its father. This is a natural thing for their kind making them an outstanding race. It is also to ensure that each will survive in any given circumstances right after birth. 

After all, an Emperor Dragon can only give birth one egg per thousands of years. If the off spring is dumb and unlucky, then the hope of surviving would be small.

That's why the egg already knows who are the dangerous people and the good ones. When Minister Jiang XeXun found the egg, the egg resisted the First Blood. He knows how these sects will just use him as a weapon and Emperor Dragons are prideful enough to dislike that.

They should be the ones controlling, not the ones being controlled.

But Lang Yuan is different. Even though he's wearing the same clothes as them, his heart is different. The moment he noticed the boy, the egg wondered why Lang Yuan is confused and his heartbeat seems to be lost. When Lang Yuan was coincidentally brought to it, the egg quickly grabbed the chance and took the unusual inside its barrier.

Lang Yuan noticed that something is rubbing on his chest and found the egg sticking again. Lang Yuan made an effort of pushing the large egg away. But eventually, he got tired of it. He touched the sides of the egg but never pushed it away.

"Okay, I quit ba. But don't cling too much. I need to move. Or else my legs will die."

He never actually hated clinging objects. Lang Yuan has a lot of little brothers and sisters, and also an older brother who always likes to hug him. When he asked why they do it, they say that he is cuddly. How could he become cuddly?

The egg resembles his family so much that he started to miss them. Lang Yuan heaved a sigh. What would be his family's reaction if they know that he just died?

The egg moved away to let him stand but never went a meter's length from him. His stomach suddenly growled. He looked at the egg for a while then shook his head to dismiss the idea. He will not probably eat this egg. He will just feel guilty.

"Let's look for food first. I'm hungry."
