Chapter 666: 666. Dragon Egg
The so-called "Supreme Forgetfulness" means to thoroughly abandon the disturbance of emotions, becoming detached and impartial, with reason taken to its extreme.
From a practical standpoint, reducing "occupancy" indeed can improve operational efficiency, especially in higher realms where shielding emotions becomes easier.
Thus, consciousness instinctively gravitates toward "Supreme Forgetfulness," something Lu Li deeply understood.
Now, he had grown much colder, his emotions having not experienced drastic fluctuations for quite some time.
Even if he crushed an entire world, sending billions of living creatures into mourning, his heart would remain undisturbed.
If this had happened when he first began his cultivation, he certainly would not have been so calm.
Supreme Forgetfulness is an inevitability once life reaches a certain level.
Even without immense power returning to oneself, those who have long held high positions, controlling life and death, can become quite indifferent toward their own kind.
Not to mention someone like Lu Li, who could twist black holes with his hands, crush planets with divine thought, and had a life expectancy of 120,000 years.
Fortunately, he had long mastered his realm, with the ability to wield and retract his might at will, allowing Lu Li to maintain his emotions proactively, with desires acting as the perfect "anchor."
And desires were not limited to the pleasures of the flesh.
At that moment, Gong Xue had just made the young master comfortable and was snuggling cozily with him when she suddenly saw a graceful figure approaching.
The figure was slender and graceful, her features clear and transcendent, it was Su Qing.
This woman had weathered many storms with the young master and held deep affection for him; she was also pregnant, which meant she could not be treated lightly.
Gong Xue hurriedly removed Lu Li's hand from her breast, conjured a set of clothes to wear, and then flew up into the air, transforming spiritual quality, making an effortful display.
Meanwhile, Su Qing had long seen the flamboyant vixen and was filled with annoyance, ready to lash out.
But the other party was in fact transforming spiritual quality, and her life force resonated with Lu Li's?
Su Qing instantly understood what was happening and exclaimed in astonishment, "You've become Lu Li's magic treasure!"
"Your servant is fulfilling master's orders, assisting by young master's side."
Gong Xue responded respectfully, keeping a low profile. She was there to help; she couldn't allow household peace to be disrupted.
It had never occurred to Su Qing that Qiu Sheng would transfer her Lifebound Magical Treasure along with her Spirit Star; she had entrusted everything she had!
No one could find fault with such a gesture, and it certainly benefitted Lu Li greatly.
Su Qing then said with a pleasant demeanor, "Sister Qiu is virtuous and admirable. We must trouble you, Gong Xue, to exert more effort from now on."
"It is not trouble; this is what your servant ought to do, and I will do my utmost to assist young master."
Gong Xue responded formally, and unexpectedly, a Flat Peach landed in her arms.
Lu Li had extended his hand and gathered the Spirit Fruit, interrupting the two women's courtesies:
"Family shouldn't bother with such pleasantries, let's eat the Flat Peach."
This peach was a top-grade product from the Journey to the West World that ripened every hundred thousand years, even a Yang God could increase his cultivation by eating it, the Jade Emperor had emptied his coffers to scrape together just nine of them.
"Thank you, young master, then your servant will get back to work."
Gong Xue held the peach in her hands, thanked him, and bowed before withdrawing so as not to disturb the couple's conversation.
Once she was gone, Su Qing said with a smile:
"Understanding and beautiful, truly a delightful person, and now you're the lucky one, you donkey."
Lu Li chuckled and then said, "You seem in good spirits, feeling better?"
"Yes, almost fully recovered now, and the baby is also safe and well."
Su Qing's complexion was rosy, her eyes brimming with vitality, clearly in high spirits.
What made her even happier was the little bulge of her abdomen:
"It seems like Wanqing was right, the discomfort was caused by the embryo implanting."
"It's probably best for the mother to limit vigorous activities, to prevent a miscarriage; now that it has stabilized, let's listen~"
Lu Li wrapped his arms around Su Qing's slender waist and after chatting for a bit, placed his ear against her abdomen to listen.
It was still too early to hear anything, but Lu Li was happy, far from the "Supreme Forgetfulness" demeanor.
Su Qing enjoyed some tender moments with her man, but her gaze once again drifted toward Gong Xue.
Such a Divine Item capable of assisting the Yang God's cultivation, gifted by Qiu Sheng, was not a trivial matter; it indicated the situation was not optimistic.
After embracing Lu Li for a while, Su Qing suddenly said:
"Now that I'm free, I might as well go cross-border too."
Lu Li frowned slightly, but Su Qing continued,
"Bored as hell, might as well stretch my legs a bit. Don't worry, Xiaoyu and I are together~"
Before she finished speaking, Xiaoyu descended from the sky, hugging both of them tightly into her embrace.
Many Spirit Stars had been under her management, and now that they were on the right track, they no longer required constant supervision.
"I want to go cross-border with Su Qing~"
Xiaoyu's declaration showed that the two women had obviously planned this together.
Lu Li looked helpless, "Both of you are pregnant. Xiaoyu, your belly is already quite big."
Xiaoyu's swollen belly was indeed an impediment to her mobility.
But she smiled, opened her mouth wide, and spat out an egg?
Round and gleaming like jade, it was a Dragon Egg!
Previously, Xiaoyu had mentioned that halfway through the development, the Dragon Embryo would form into a Dragon Egg, and so it had.
With her belly now flat again, Xiaoyu looked quite smug as she said,
"The Dragon Egg can be spit out anytime, it doesn't impede movement, and can even be used as a Magic Treasure~"
She tapped the egg in her hand, producing a "thud" sound akin to knocking on a tank, impressive in both density and hardness!
"..."
"..."
Su Qing and Lu Li looked on, stunned, shocked by the breeding habits of the Dragon Clan.
Lu Li hadn't expected his first meeting with his child to be in this form.
The Dragon Egg emitted a warm and familiar life force, stirring up a feeling of blood connection.
This was his child, a Dragon Son.
Feeling affectionate, Lu Li reached out to touch the Dragon Egg, eager to take a closer look.
But before he could touch it, the Dragon Egg suddenly smashed against the father's face.
The shell streaked through the air, glowing red-hot, its impact rivaling that of a tank firing an armor-piercing round.
Lu Li casually raised his index finger to press down, and the Dragon Egg rebounded, returning to its mother's hands.
"Ha, the little guy is shy, come~ let me touch~"
Su Qing reached out and gently stroked the Dragon Egg, which did not resist at all.
This creature was clearly picking its targets, aiming only at its own father.
Lu Li curled his lips, too lazy to hold a grudge against his rebellious son.
After being played with for a while, the Dragon Egg, still young and needing nourishment and growth,
was swallowed back by Xiaoyu, but her belly remained flat.
"Going to the Spirit Realm to accompany Mommy~"
Xiaoyu's Life Spirit Star had evolved from her mother's legacy.
The Dragon Embryo could stay inside the mother's body or enter the Spirit Realm for nourishment, without affecting Xiaoyu's strength in the slightest.
With one Life and one neutron Spirit Star, Xiaoyu was certainly an Upper Yang God.
Su Qing said to Lu Li, "Now you can rest easy, right?"
Lu Li, of course, would not stop them anymore, "I'm reassured, you guys go ahead."
The two women immediately opened the Divine Thought Channel, with Xiaoyu eagerly declaring,
"Su Qing, let's put on a show again and have the enemies chasing their tails~"
"We'll need to plan this carefully."
The two of them crossed borders and disappeared, and together with Qiu Sheng, there were now two high-rank powerhouses helping to acquire resources.
This treatment was extremely rare, and surely the efficiency would be high, and it also compensated for the shortfall of transmigrators delivering lower-tier Spiritual Objects.
With the Eight-directions Power, they propelled Lu Li towards the Infinite Realm at breakneck speed!
