Two hours later...
Even Gu Qiu'er could not resist the temptation to speak.
"Has he gotten high from absorbing too much? Nothing will really go wrong, right?"
"..."
Di Tian and Gu Yuena fell silent as they watched the Dragon Egg continue greedily absorbing life force.
"Probably... not?"
"He lost too much of his origin. It's good to replenish it a little more..."
After a while longer, the Dragon Egg finally stopped absorbing.
It even wobbled as though it had eaten its fill and let out a burp.
The chunk of Life Gold also fell from midair to the ground.
However, the dazzling emerald-green color of the entire piece of metal had dimmed considerably.
Seeing that it knew to stop on its own, Gu Yuena secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had genuinely feared that this fellow would keep absorbing until he suffered from taking too much nourishment and exploded.
Thank goodness, thank goodness!
Gu Yuena used her divine power to draw the Life Gold toward her. At first, she had intended to throw it back into the Lake of Life.
But after looking at its dimmed color, she changed her mind.
"Xiao Yuan, this piece of Life Gold is yours!"
Naturally, Lu Yuan would not refuse something offered to him.
"Thank you, Sister Na!"
He skillfully tucked the Life Gold away.
Gu Yuena then looked at Di Tian and said, "Di Tian, take the Dragon Egg to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Besides informing the Fire Dragon King of this good news, ask whether he has any way to replenish the remaining origin and speed up the hatching."
"Yes, my Lord!"
Di Tian answered.
He picked up the Dragon Egg with one hand, tore open a spatial rift with the other, and stepped inside.
