Early morning.
I yawned beneath the covers.
I hadn't told anyone about last night's unexpected breakthrough.
Hearing a little noise,
Yangyang poked her little head out from under the covers.
I was still a little groggy. Once I entered the egg-incubation state, it was easy for my mind to grow hazy.
The egg-incubation state wasn't a short-term state, but a long-term one. It had begun around the time Ye Qingxian left the Wuya Sect, when I officially started incubating my two daughters.
It was like giving birth to half a daughter.
Who would give birth halfway and then leave the baby to fend for herself?
No matter how lovesick I was, I still had to know what mattered most. I'd spent enough time chasing after Ye Qingxian; now I should come back and incubate my eggs. That was the most important thing I needed to do right now.

Yangyang shivered and put her hands behind her back.
"What... are you doing?"
