Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 22

At the end of the narrow and cramped cave, the refining formation emitted an ominous blood-red glow, and in the center of the formation was a giant egg.

“Is this a monster beast’s egg?”

Lin Que blinked. Although he couldn’t claim to be well-read, he had seen quite a few ancient books. However, the patterns and features of the egg before him didn’t match any he knew.

He shook the formation flag, interrupting the refining formation, and the cave returned to pitch-black darkness.

“The refining formation and the concealment formation outside are a set, but with that old monster beast’s intelligence, it shouldn’t be able to create such a high-level formation. Was it deliberately left by someone, or did it steal it?”

In any case, all signs indicated that the egg was no ordinary item. Lin Que stepped forward, placed his palm on the top of the egg, and tried to store it in his storage ring, but found no response.

“Is this egg alive?”

The storage ring couldn’t store living things, so it was sometimes used to confirm if an enemy was faking death.

Lin Que tried to probe with his divine sense to see what was inside the egg, but he also failed. The egg seemed to have a special power resisting his divine sense.

However, he still sensed the egg’s immense vitality.

“To be valued so highly by a Nascent Soul stage monster beast, even gazing at it before death, it must be something extraordinary. Anyway, I’ll take it back first.”

Lin Que picked up the egg and left the monster beast forest on his sword.

This time, no monster beast dared to block his way.

Returning to the cave mansion, it was already late at night. Qin Wanyuan was resting on the bed, while her sister Qin Qian’er was taking care of her.

Seeing Lin Que return, Qin Wanyuan was overjoyed, and Qin Qian’er quietly left, giving them space to be alone.

“Lin Lang, you’re back?”

She didn’t ask why Lin Que took so long at Senior Sister’s place, as she had already seen the system task completion prompt and rewards.

The system interface appeared in her vision, and Qin Wanyuan’s expression was uncertain.

[Task Reward: Patience Potion.]

[Congratulations to the host for meeting the hidden condition, an extra Bed Sharing Talisman is awarded.]

[Hint: Jiang Moqing’s favorability has broken through seventy, reaching a milestone, a set of Dream Sharing Talismans is awarded, slightly enhancing the host’s physique.]

[Achievement Unlocked: Love is the restraint of wanting to touch but pulling back.]

Since Lin Que went alone to Jiang Moqing’s cave mansion, her favorability had soared to seventy and hadn’t dropped back like before.

She didn’t know what exactly happened, and the more she imagined, the more depressed she felt, so she forcibly stopped thinking about it.

But seeing Lin Que return and his favorability towards her not decreasing, she was relieved.

“I just went to the monster beast forest, came back a bit late, sorry.”

Lin Que nodded and placed the giant egg on the ground beside the table.

“You went to the monster beast forest?! That’s very dangerous…”

Qin Wanyuan was startled when she heard Lin Que went to the monster beast forest. She got up to check if he was injured, and only relaxed when she saw he was fine.

Then, she noticed the uniquely shaped and unusually large egg.

“By the way, this egg is…?”

“I brought it back from the Beast Forest…”

Lin Que briefly recounted his experiences in the Beast Forest. After hearing the story, Qin Wanyuan’s small mouth was slightly agape in astonishment.

Even though she knew Lin Que was very powerful, she still didn’t expect him to be able to kill those four beasts that attacked her today without any injuries.

‘Yes, if Lin Lang wasn’t so powerful, he wouldn’t have been able to fend off those evil cultivators back then and protect us…’

Thinking of this, Qin Wanyuan’s eyes dimmed.

In her previous life, Lin Que was only at the peak of the Golden Core stage until the end, yet he was able to single-handedly fend off numerous evil cultivators who were stronger than him.

This already explained a lot. If in this life, she could use the system to help him break through his cultivation, he would surely be able to overcome the crisis two years from now.

While Qin Wanyuan was still pondering, Lin Que looked at the egg placed beside the table. After a moment of contemplation, he asked her:

“I think this matter is not that simple. There might be something more to it. Wanyuan, what do you think?”

As a transmigrator, Lin Que’s thinking was active, naturally able to break free from the era constraints of the cultivation world, understanding that Qin Wanyuan had some ability to foresee crises, but for some reason, couldn’t speak out.

So he simply changed to a more tactful way, hinting indirectly.

Hearing Lin Que’s question, Qin Wanyuan came back to her senses.

The system strictly forbade her from revealing the matter of her rebirth and all related details, but if it was such a normal inquiry…

Qin Wanyuan seriously recalled the events related to the Beast Forest in her previous life.

In her memory, there was indeed an incident in the Beast Forest, but it wasn’t particularly serious. A few great demons in the Nascent Soul stage caused trouble, attempting to break out of the Beast Forest and recreate the calamity of the beast chaos from hundreds of years ago.

However, the Sword Sect sent a few elders to resolve the matter. The leading beast was directly slain, and the formation restrictions of the Beast Forest were strengthened.

Because the incident wasn’t particularly serious, and the calamity of the great demons in the Nascent Soul stage happened a year later in her memory, Qin Wanyuan didn’t pay much attention.

But after Lin Que’s reminder, upon careful recollection, there were indeed many strange aspects.

She had heard from her master, An Xiaoyao, that the Beast Forest had been besieged by several sects hundreds of years ago, with most of its resources destroyed. The remaining beasts’ cultivation and aptitude were not as good as before, with the peak cultivation only at the Nascent Soul stage.

According to the beasts’ cultivation speed, it should take at least another hundred years for one or two great demons in the Nascent Soul stage to appear.

But a year later, so many great demons in the Nascent Soul stage suddenly appeared and caused chaos.

The most crucial point was that the beasts were not united internally, making it impossible for them to unite as they did today, even ambushing at the forest’s periphery.

Connecting this to the egg Lin Que brought back and the refining formation he mentioned, Qin Wanyuan quickly came to a conclusion.

Those great demons broke through their cultivation by refining this egg.

And now that Lin Que had obtained it… does it mean he could also enhance his cultivation by refining it?

She tried to tell Lin Que about this in her mind and found that the system did not issue a warning as it did before.

It seemed that as long as it didn’t involve future-related and system confidential topics, the system wouldn’t issue a warning.

Thus, Qin Wanyuan told Lin Que that this egg was likely a material that could enhance cultivation.

After hearing Qin Wanyuan’s words, Lin Que frowned.

“But this egg has a life aura, it should still be hatching. If we refine it… it feels like eating a fertilized egg, let’s forget it.”

“You’re right… I was careless.”

Qin Wanyuan lowered her head, “Sorry, I couldn’t help.”

Even though she had lived another life, she still couldn’t help Lin Que, and even had to rely on him instead.

In response, Lin Que just smiled and patted Qin Wanyuan’s head.

“Don’t say that, you’ve done your best. Leave the rest to me.”

He wasn’t lying.

If it weren’t for Qin Wanyuan and Jiang Moqing going to the beast forest this time, he wouldn’t have known there was an anomaly there, let alone obtained this peculiar egg.

As for what this egg is, he could only ask the teacher tomorrow.
