Chapter 1407: Ling Feng the Daddy
"Saintess, do you really think the little one inside the Holy Angel Egg can understand us?" Ling Feng looked at the Holy Angel Egg placed on the bed, somewhat puzzled.
Bright Saintess squatted next to Ling Feng, also watching the Holy Angel Egg: "Of course it can. The little angel inside the Holy Angel Egg can already come out, so naturally, it can understand us. We just need to call it out."
Ling Feng nodded, then reached out to touch the Holy Angel Egg. For some reason, Ling Feng felt a warm and dependent aura emanating from the egg.
"Little one, if you really can understand me, give me some sign!" Ling Feng murmured to himself.
Suddenly, the Holy Angel Egg rolled over on the bed and then nudged toward Ling Feng's hand, as if it liked his presence.
Ling Feng was a bit dumbfounded, realizing that the Holy Angel Egg could indeed understand him.
"Since you can understand me, why don't you come out?" Ling Feng couldn't help but ask.
Ling Feng was merely asking casually, but unexpectedly, a thought came from the Holy Angel Egg: "I'm doing well inside the eggshell, why should I come out?"
"Huh?" Surprise flashed in Ling Feng's eyes, and he softly said, "The world outside is so exciting, with many fun things, and lots of delicious food..."
"I don't need food, and it's quite fun inside the eggshell too!" The message from the Holy Angel Egg totally disregarded Ling Feng's words.
Ling Feng felt a bit of a headache: "So when do you plan to come out? You can't stay in the eggshell forever, can you?"
The Holy Angel Egg shook slightly: "Oh, let's talk about it later. I don't feel like coming out now! Oh, I'm feeling sleepy, I'm going to take a nap..."
Looking at the unyielding Holy Angel Egg, Ling Feng was at a loss and shared the egg's thoughts with the Bright Saintess, who was equally baffled and clueless.
The two walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
"Ling Feng, it seems this little angel is ready to emerge, but the main issue now is that he doesn't want to come out. What should we do?" Bright Saintess asked anxiously.
Ling Feng frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Since he doesn't want to come out, can we break the eggshell to let him out?"
"That's impossible!" Bright Saintess said with a bitter smile: "If the Angel Egg is forcefully damaged from the outside, there's a high chance the little angel will die. Even if he survives by luck, he'll be underdeveloped and have a damaged foundation!"
"Moreover..." Bright Saintess hesitated.
Ling Feng curiously asked: "Moreover what? Just say it!"
Bright Saintess gave a bitter smile and said: "Moreover, considering the resilience of the Holy Angel Egg's shell, it's not just us; even a master from the Azure Sky Realm might struggle to cause damage!"
Ling Feng awkwardly touched his nose. Was the eggshell of the Holy Angel Egg really that tough?
"So, we can only wait for him to change his mind?" Ling Feng sighed and said, "Who knows when he will be willing to come out!"
"We can only leave it up to fate!" Bright Saintess comforted him: "At least now, the Holy Angel Egg can communicate with you, which is already significant progress. I believe one day you'll succeed in bringing the little guy out!"
Ling Feng pursed his lips; this reassurance was genuinely lacking any force!
But now Ling Feng was the only one able to communicate with the Holy Angel Egg, and Camille had pinned all her hopes on him. Ling Feng understood that at this moment, suggesting that he leave was out of the question!
Thus, Ling Feng reluctantly assumed the role of the Holy Angel Egg's caretaker.
Apart from his usual cultivation, Ling Feng spent almost all his time trying to communicate with the Angel Egg.
Because Ling Feng had previous experience communicating with the Rhinoceros Dragon, he first chose to tell stories to the Holy Angel Egg, weaving the outside world into a dazzling narrative.
This method worked, at least in raising the little one's affection towards Ling Feng considerably. But whenever Ling Feng suggested coming out, the little one would unhesitatingly refuse!
In the little one's words, whatever interesting happens outside, Ling Feng only needs to tell him, and inside the eggshell is much more comfortable; surely the outside world isn't as cozy as the eggshell!
Faced with the unyielding Holy Angel Egg, Ling Feng felt quite troubled and puzzled. Why wouldn't the little one inside the Holy Angel Egg come out? Was there some deeper reason?
However, ever since the Holy Spirit King took control of the Angel World, the Holy Angel Egg had rarely appeared, so not even Camille was sure how to truly hatch the Holy Angel Egg!
There might be a need for some special stimulation, but Camille could only let Ling Feng slowly explore this himself.
Soon, ten days passed. One day, Camille suddenly approached Ling Feng, her face looking somewhat grave as she said to him, "I've just received news that the Angel Army, which was besieging the Insect Taoist, has returned to the Angel World, and they are now laying siege to the base of Flying Cloud City. I must organize people to assist!"
Ling Feng furrowed his brow slightly: "The troops besieging the Insect Taoist have returned? Did they succeed?"
For some reason, Ling Feng always felt the Insect Taoist was not a simple person, and his attitude towards Ling Feng was intriguing. If possible, Ling Feng genuinely hoped to meet the Insect Taoist again.
Camille shook her head: "I don't know, but with Angel World and Divine Realm working together to besiege the Insect Taoist, I can't imagine what means the Insect Taoist might have to escape!"
"That's really quite a pity!" Ling Feng sighed, his tone somewhat complicated.
"Now is not the time to discuss the Insect Taoist!" Camille said sternly: "The base here is very safe, and during our absence, you must not leave here, understand?"
Ling Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are arrest warrants all over outside; we're not leaving here anyway, as this is the safest place now!"
Camille nodded: "Very well, I'm relieved. I'm going to organize the personnel. I hope that when we return, we can witness the emergence of the Holy Angel!"
"Let's see how it goes!" Ling Feng sighed. He really had no choice with this little one. Ling Feng had tried everything he could think of, but the little one still had no intention of coming out.
Ling Feng even wondered if the little one was planning to stay in the egg until the new year!
