Who Stole My Eggs?

A spy from the demon world?

Xie Zuo thought, could it be…

He picked up the little snake and went ashore. He simply wrapped himself in his robe and was about to take a look, but Huo Yao grabbed his ankle.

Huo Yao said displeased, “Get dressed first.”

“I’m already dressed,” Xie Zuo struggled to get away.

Asura, who had come to report the news, had wisely stepped back another foot.

Xie Zuo had no choice but to wait for Huo Yao to get out of the river, and the two of them packed up together before “meeting the guests.”

Xie Zuo muttered in a low voice, “There are too many things to do.”

Huo Yao, with his excellent hearing, replied, “You can only follow me in this life and avoid seducing others.”

Xie Zuo rolled his eyes. Here he went again. Huo Yao must be jealous!

The little snake, wrapped around Xie Zuo’s wrist, chimed in, “Daddy, you have a family now, so don’t seduce others. Look at my father—he never smiles at others, and he always dresses neatly when he sees anyone.”

‘Okay, okay, I’m so convince, both father and son, really…’ Xie Zuo thought. He finally understood where the little snake had learned the word “seduce” all day long. The upper beam was crooked, so naturally, the lower beam followed suit!

The captured spy was quickly pushed down in front of Xie Zuo and Huo Yao. Xie Zuo took a look and realized—wasn’t this “spy” from the Ten Demon Attendants, Lian?

“Your Majesty, please save me!” Lian struggled angrily. “Let me go, bastard. I’m not a spy. What’s there to spy on in the poor and backward world of Asuras?”

Xie Zuo quickly asked, “Do you have news about them?”

Huo Yao glanced at the Asura guard restraining Lian. The guard immediately released Lian and wisely retreated.

Lian staggered to his feet and said, “Your Majesty, the Frost Messenger has been found. He is undergoing tribulation in the human world!”

Xie Zuo breathed a sigh of relief. “Great, it’s good to find him, it’s good.”

Lian said anxiously, “He is not well now. Your Majesty, please go and take a look. He will be burned to death soon!”

“What?!” Xie Zuo was shocked and hurriedly handed the little snake to Huo Yao. “You keep an eye on him. I’ll go to the human world for a visit.”

Before he could take a step, Huo Yao caught him. “We’ll go together.”

“You…” Xie Zuo looked at the chains of sin on Huo Yao and the karma fires still burning. Cruelly, he said, “You can’t go. Just stay here and wait for me. I will be back soon.”

Huo Yao shook his head. “We will never be separated.”

“That’s right, I don’t want to be separated from Daddy! We have to follow!” The little snake leaned its head on Huo Yao’s arm, wrapping its tail around Xie Zuo’s wrist with a determined look. “If you dare to leave us, Father and Son, I—I’ll make a fuss!”

Xie Zuo felt the weight of his family burden for the first time. With no choice, he nodded. “Okay, but you have to be obedient. You,” he pointed at Huo Yao, “must tell me if you feel uncomfortable. And you,” he squeezed the tip of the little snake’s tail, “don’t run around—follow us closely.”

Huo Yao and the little snake replied in unison, “No problem.”

On the way, Xie Zuo listened to Lian’s introduction about The Frost Messenger’s situation.

The Frost Messenger (Mengzhao) had disappeared since he died in a fire. Recently, his consciousness had suddenly appeared, possessing the body of an official’s son in the human world. The young master had been foolish since childhood, but after being possessed by the Frost Messenger, he suddenly returned to normal. The family, naturally, was overjoyed.

At this time, the Demon Attendants discovered the Frost Messenger. At first, they were unsure of his identity, so they transformed into a magpie and lived in The Frost Messenger’s house, observing him daily.

This observation revealed a problem. The ice-like beauty of Frost Messenger had an unspeakable habit—he took special care of the big black dog raised in the household.

The dog had been raised by the foolish young master since it was a pup. It was very spiritual, not only guarding the house but also protecting the young master from bullies.

When the silly young man became the Frost Messenger, the big black dog seemed to have gained intelligence. It began behaving more like a human. One night, the big black dog entered the Frost Messenger’s room, and Lian helplessly witnessed a tall, strong figure in the closed room.

That night, the entire demon attendants were dumbfounded after hearing the report. This—this… people and dogs… How could the dignified Frost Messenger…

Lian even suspected that the Frost Messenger was a fake, so he stayed to observe.

After that night, the Frost Messenger and the big black dog became inseparable. The dog was even more affectionate toward him. Servants began to notice, and rumours gradually spread.

The night before last, after the dog entered the Frost Messenger’s room again, two maids secretly eavesdropped under the window. Upon hearing the commotion, they were so frightened that they rolled to the ground and reported what they had heard.

Soon, the big black dog was dragged out of the room, followed by the Frost Messenger, who was covered in signs of debauchery. Both were tied up and carried away.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lian left a clone to secretly protect the Frost Messenger and rushed to the Asura world to report the news. Unexpectedly, he was caught as soon as he entered the Asura world, and he didn’t have the chance to see Xie Zuo until just then.
