I Am an Egg

Dou Qi Continent, Northwest Continent, Monster Mountain Range

Deep within a basin carpeted with Medicinal Herbs lay a small valley, overflowing with dense energy. This little valley was completely cut off from the outside world, and thick mist concealed the sky above it, making it exceptionally well hidden.

At the center of the valley stood an enormous egg, though no one knew what species it belonged to.

After an unknown amount of time, a sliver of consciousness awakened within the giant egg. I still have consciousness. Who am I? Where am I? The newly awakened awareness was somewhat weak. Before long, it fell asleep again, slowly absorbing the nutrients within the egg as it slumbered.

After an unknown amount of time, a new visitor came to the small valley. It was a Blue Eagle, a First-tier magical beast. A girl who looked eleven or twelve sat on its back. "Xiao Lan, let's go down."

"Chirp, chirp." The Blue Eagle responded, then dove down and slowly landed in the small valley.

"Wow, Xiao Lan, so many Medicinal Herbs! We're rich!" Golden stars seemed ready to burst from the little girl's eyes.

Suddenly, the energy in the small valley began surging toward its center. Before long, an energy vortex gathered there, while an oppressive aura gradually spread outward from the center.

The commotion was so great that the little girl was already dumbfounded. Beside her, the Blue Eagle had long since crouched on the ground, covering its head with its wings and trembling all over.

Fortunately, the phenomenon only lasted a short while before dispersing. The oppressive aura gradually faded as well, and the little girl slowly came back to her senses.

"Xiao Lan, are you all right?"

"Chirp, chirp."

"Come on, let's go take a look. Maybe there's a treasure."

Whether this girl and eagle were bold or simply ignorant, no one could tell.

At the center of the small valley, Didn't I die? Where is this? Did I reincarnate? Is there really reincarnation in this world? Why do I still have my memories? Did Meng Po not go to work that day?

It seems I'm inside an egg. Could I be a bird in this life? Don't tell me I'll face a survival crisis the moment I'm born.

Huh? Why is there a fruit and a little pill in this egg with me? But why is this fruit so small? It looks like a fruit pit, though it's quite pretty. It should taste good, but why does it look malnourished? Don't tell me I digested it already? Haha.

The fruit was entirely purple and gold. Looking closely, the golden half twisted and coiled, vividly resembling a dragon shrunk countless times over. The purple half resembled a phoenix spreading its wings in flight.

They were truly a dragon and phoenix. Though they differed somewhat from the mythical creatures imagined on television in his previous life, they still bore some resemblance.

No way. Did I reincarnate into a mythical world? But this fruit has a dragon and phoenix on it, so it must be something good. If I eat it, my aptitude should be decent.

While muttering to himself, he swallowed the fruit. It melted as soon as it entered his mouth, transforming into a gentle stream of energy that poured into him. Doesn't taste like much. Let's try this pill.

By then, the little girl and the Blue Eagle had reached the center of the valley and spotted the giant egg.

Purple-Gold Light flickered across the egg's surface as it slowly absorbed the energy nearby.

The moment the Blue Eagle saw the egg, it dropped to the ground. To it, the purple-gold giant egg was like the supreme ruler of heaven and earth—immeasurably noble, so much so that it did not dare look directly at it.

"Xiao Lan, what's wrong?"

"Chirp, chirp, chirp." (Its bloodline is extremely high. I can't get close.)

"Oh, I see. Then go wait nearby. This egg looks like it's about to hatch. I heard that egg-born creatures regard the first person they see as the closest to them. Looks like we're getting another companion."

"Chirp." The Blue Eagle flew to the edge of the small valley to wait.

Someone's coming. I wonder if they're good or bad. From the voice, it sounds like a girl. I probably won't face a survival crisis right after being born, right?

Before long, the Purple-Gold Light on the giant egg grew brighter and brighter, and cracks began appearing across its surface.

"Good thing this small valley has a natural barrier. Otherwise, in the Monster Mountain Range, this would definitely bring endless trouble." Watching the increasingly brilliant Purple-Gold Light, the little girl patted her small chest.

The light grew brighter and brighter. In that instant, it seemed to reach its peak. Crack! The entire egg shattered completely.

The little girl narrowed her eyes. When she opened them again, she saw a four-clawed magical beast with wings before her, slowly flapping as it floated in the air. With every beat of its wings came faint sounds of wind and thunder that shook the soul. Its purple-gold eyes were mysterious and enchanting; beneath their gaze, even heaven and earth seemed compelled to submit.

"Wow, so beautiful!" The little girl looked at the magical beast before her without the slightest fear. Perhaps, in her heart, some magical beasts were easier to get along with than humans—especially one this beautiful.

Suddenly, Purple-Gold Light flashed. Yet in only an instant, everything rapidly receded, and the magical beast before her vanished.

The little girl rubbed her eyes. "Huh? Where did it go?"

"Are you looking for me?"

"Who is it? Come out!" The little girl jumped in fright, her face full of vigilance.

"I'm right in front of you."

A boy of seven or eight appeared before the little girl. He wore a purple-gold robe, with dragons and phoenixes dancing across it as though alive, radiating an indescribable nobility.

"Who are you? How did you get here?"

"I was right in front of you just now."

"You're that magical beast from before? Are you a seventh-tier magical beast?" The little girl looked terrified and took several steps back.

"I don't know either. Who are you? Where is this? Why do you say I'm a seventh-tier magical beast?"

"I'm Xiao Yi Xian. This is the Monster Mountain Range. Xiao Lan brought me here. Xiao Lan is the Blue Eagle, a First-tier magical beast. Only seventh-tier magical beasts can take human form. That's common knowledge, of course I know it." Seeing that the child-like magical beast before her was not so frightening, Xiao Yi Xian gradually became bolder.

Xiao Yi Xian, Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Lan the First-tier Blue Eagle... No way, no way. Dou Qi Continent, Dou Qi turning into horses, terrifying indeed.

Could the fruit in the egg have been the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit? Could that little pill have been a Shaping Pill? Could the specks of light in my mind be bloodline inheritance? Is this the golden finger I received from reincarnation?

It may not be as overpowered as a system, but the Dragon Phoenix should be among the greatest talents on the Dou Qi Continent, right? After all, once fully matured, it could rival a Dou Di.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? And what's your name?"

"I don't have a name in this world yet. I don't have any family either. I don't know if I ever will."

"I watched you being born, so you can call me big sister from now on. Let me give you a name." Xiao Yi Xian looked excitedly at the humanoid magical beast before her.

I rolled my eyes. No, wait, I didn't seem to have white eyes anymore. Since I was here, I might as well accept it. My new life would begin with a name.

"Sure. Then give me a nice one."

"It's the end of summer right now, so from now on, you'll be called Xia Mo."

"End of summer? Next you'll call me Start of Autumn. What kind of name is that?"

"Not the mo from the end of summer. It's the mo with the water radical."

"Xia Mo... all right. I'll be called Xia Mo from now on. Please take care of me, Sister Xiao Yi Xian."

PS: A new life has begun. Who does everyone like as the female lead?
