The Sorrows of an Egg

Hu Bayi asked Hu Ming, seeing Fatty take Yingzi to blast the cave, "Are you afraid that big zombie will get out?"

Hu Ming nodded upon hearing this, "Mm, but I also want to destroy that Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glazed Top."

Hu Bayi also said, "Indeed, if someone accidentally went in, something could really happen."

Hu Ming untied the gauze and said to Hu Bayi, "Let's find a good place to help bury them!"

Hu Bayi nodded upon hearing this and used his Feng Shui techniques to find an open space. The two picked up shovels and began to dig.

Before they had been digging for long when they heard two consecutive cannon sounds. The two exchanged a glance and continued digging.

Fatty and Yingzi, leading their horses, found Hu Ming and the others and, seeing them digging graves, joined in to help.

With everyone's combined efforts, they finally managed to bury the two little ancestors.

Fatty clasped his hands together and bowed, "Two little ancestors, some things are destined. You don't need to be too persistent. What is meant to be will be, and what is not, you shouldn't dwell on.

So many calculations are difficult, everything comes from fate. Two little ancestors, rest in peace.

Our conditions are limited, but once we get back, I'll definitely burn more paper money for you, ensuring you reach the Western Paradise soon.

We are busy, and this is all we can do. Being greedy is not the behavior of good children." As Fatty spoke, he was about to take out his lighter when he seemed to notice something and took it out.

Everyone saw that it was one of the Jade Pendants. Hu Ming saw this and also felt around in his pocket, finding something. When he took it out, it was a jade thumb ring.

Hu Bayi and Yingzi also rummaged through their pockets. Hu Bayi pulled out the other Jade Pendant, which could form a pair with Fatty's, while Yingzi had a jade hairpin.

The group exchanged glances. Hu Ming sighed, "Perhaps the two little ancestors are repaying us."

Hu Bayi also said, "Mm, good deeds are rewarded."

After a moment of reflection, the group bowed again to the two little ancestors and then rode away on their horses.

As Hu Ming was leaving, he seemed to hear the voices of two children.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

He turned back to look at the graves, and it seemed as if two children were waving goodbye to him. Hu Ming unconsciously murmured, "Goodbye."

It was almost night when the group arrived at the village and told the Old Branch Secretary about the Kanto Army Fortress.

As Hu Ming slept that night, he finally heard the System's voice, which he hadn't heard in over twenty years.

"Ding, Host's first tomb robbing detected successfully. System reward: System space expanded to ten cubic meters, received one Body Tempering Pill, which has been placed in the System space."

Hu Ming silently called out to the System after hearing its voice, but the System didn't respond.

Hu Ming had no choice but to put on his clothes and call out to the System from outside, but there was still no response, just like before.

He couldn't help but curse the System inwardly. Zhang Qiling's Kirin Bloodline was so powerful, while his Golden Dragon Bloodline only strengthened his physique and had rapid wound healing, with no other functions.

Hu Ming often compared himself to Little Brother and found himself so lacking. His bloodline wasn't as good as his, and his skills probably weren't either.

Hu Ming knew that Little Brother could fight Blood Corpses single-handedly. If it were him, he would only have the option to flee.

Hu Ming took out the Body Tempering Pill and ate it. He chewed and said, "Apple flavored, nice!"

Then he felt a sudden surge of heat, followed by an instant of intense pain throughout his body. Hu Ming knelt on the ground, gasping for air, sweat covering him.

He couldn't help but say, "This damn System, it only gives inferior pills."

Fortunately, the pain was only momentary. Otherwise, Hu Ming estimated he would have cried from the pain if it had lasted any longer.

Hu Ming got up and swung his fists, finding his physique was now double what it was before.

He attempted to practice Baji Quan.

After Hu Ming finished a set of punches, his body felt unprecedentedly comfortable.

He suddenly felt that perhaps he wasn't inferior to Little Brother.

Of course, he was just thinking that. He didn't want to go and compete with Little Brother, fearing he'd be beaten like a dog.

Hu Ming took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked at the bright moon in the sky. He had just compared himself to Little Brother again and realized he was still far from being his match. He wondered when his beginner Golden Dragon Bloodline would advance to intermediate. Thinking this, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Meanwhile, over in the Capital...

While Hu Bayi and the others were digging for treasure in Niuxin Mountain these past few days, Big Gold Tooth had also received a male and a female guest.

If Hu Ming were here, he would definitely recognize this woman as his future sister-in-law—Yang Xueli.
