Chapter 156: The God of the Blue All-Purpose Machine, Hatched Under Qilin Blood

Su Mengyao ultimately took the Nika fruit with her.

She certainly didn’t eat any meal, but she hadn’t come here to eat anyway.

As for the Rat Talisman, Ye Xuan hadn’t told her whether she could reveal it, but based on past experience, if he had shown it to her, he didn’t care if it was exposed.

With the Flame Dragon Armor already in hand, there was no need to worry about exposure; though the Rat Talisman had unique abilities, it was ultimately Shengzhu’s power, and nothing has unlimited use.

Though he didn’t know the exact limit, using Shengzhu as a benchmark was enough—no matter what, it couldn’t exceed eighth rank; seventh rank was already the ceiling for surface-level power.

Besides, if it was exposed, who could take it from Ye Xuan?

If the opponent truly had that kind of strength, the Rat Talisman would be useless to them anyway.

After Su Mengyao left, Ye Xuan and Zhi Xin began studying the Kati Dog egg.

“How do you hatch this egg?”

Ye Xuan turned his gaze toward Angel Zhi Xin; though he had watched the Pokémon anime, he merely liked it casually, far from knowing every Pokémon inside and out, and he hadn’t even played the related games.

Though Angel Zhi Xin wasn’t from his world, under her Insight Eye, finding this information was effortless; and since this egg was a real, physical object, hatching it couldn’t follow the anime or game processes exactly.

Zhi Xin’s eyes glowed:

“Leave it to me, my god.”

She said enthusiastically, then performed a series of complex operations on the egg.

Ye Xuan stood aside; due to their differing systems, he couldn’t understand what Angel Zhi Xin was doing, but right now she was merely setting up a perfect hatching environment—complete hatching would still require some time.

If absolutely necessary, he could manifest Doraemon; as the God of the Blue All-Purpose Machine, even under the Rat Talisman’s restrictions, hatching an egg would be effortless for him.

At that moment, the little Qilin seemed to remember something and suddenly let out a loud “Ao wu! Ao wu!”

“You mean your blood helps it?”

Angel Zhi Xin paused her actions upon hearing the Qilin’s cry, looking at it with curiosity, then recalled the information revealed by her Insight Eye, her expression turning thoughtful.

“Ao wu!”

The little creature nodded vigorously.

Zhi Xin rapidly calculated, confirmed that the Qilin’s blood wouldn’t harm the Kati Dog egg even if it didn’t aid hatching, then carefully extracted a single glistening blood droplet from the Qilin and let it fall onto the Kati Dog egg.

The instant the blood droplet, faintly glowing golden, touched the eggshell:

“Hum!”

A surge of vital energy erupted violently; the flame patterns on the eggshell ignited, blazing with brilliant crimson-gold light, the entire egg quivered intensely, its surface temperature skyrocketing, the surrounding air growing scorching hot.

“Crack—”

With a crisp snapping sound, a fissure appeared at the top of the eggshell; immediately, countless fine cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb.

Brilliant white light burst from the cracks, illuminating the entire room as bright as daylight.

Amid the holy radiance, the eggshell fragments began gradually dissolving, turning into shimmering specks of light that vanished into the air; the moment the last fragment disappeared, the light abruptly receded.

A small creature with orange-red fur lay curled on the floor.

It had a fluffy mane and a crown-like pattern on its forehead—something normal Kati Dogs didn’t possess; sensing the surrounding gazes, the Kati Dog slowly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of wet, black orbs.

“Woof! Woof woof!”

The newborn Kati Dog stood up energetically, its round black eyes wide with curiosity as it surveyed its surroundings; the instant it saw Ye Xuan, its eyes lit up.

The little creature wagged its tail happily, darted over to Ye Xuan’s feet in three quick steps, and nuzzled affectionately against his pant leg.

Seeing Ye Xuan didn’t reject it, it grew even more excited, circling him rapidly, its tail spinning like a tiny windmill, occasionally letting out joyful barks.

“Ao wu, ao wu.”

The little Qilin bounded over happily; the Kati Dog was instantly drawn to this new playmate, and the two little creatures soon began chasing and wrestling around the living room.

Perhaps because of that drop of Qilin blood, or perhaps because the Qilin was a sacred beast symbolizing forests and peace, the Kati Dog showed extraordinary affection toward the Qilin.

Ye Xuan watched the playing Kati Dog, thinking about its diet.

The Qilin didn’t care—it was very interested in spiritual energy elixirs, and Ye Xuan had no shortage of medicinal materials; but the Kati Dog was different.

This world had no Moo Moo Milk or Energy Cubes—could the milk of mutated creatures replace Moo Moo Milk?

Nutritionally, considering the strength of mutated creatures and the fact that spiritual energy was energy promoting life-level evolution, the milk of mutated creatures might even surpass Moo Moo Milk in potency.

As for Energy Cubes, spiritual energy elixirs could substitute, but since they were extracted from medicinal herbs, they inevitably carried herbal flavors.

The Qilin liked them, but the Kati Dog might not accept them.

He turned to look at Zhi Xin, who was recording data on the two little creatures’ activities.

“Zhi Xin.”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s voice, Zhi Xin caught his glance and immediately understood.

“Based on existing materials from Blue Star, a nutritional food formula for the Kati Dog has been calculated—estimated completion time: one minute.”

“I will prioritize taste compatibility.”

Angel Zhi Xin said with enthusiasm.

“.”

He didn’t need to be this thorough.

Ye Xuan had merely wanted Zhi Xin to determine what additive could alter the elixir’s taste without affecting its function.

But since Zhi Xin had already thought to design a full Kati Dog food formula, he didn’t bother saying anything.

Still, Zhi Xin was among the rare angels who hadn’t been corrupted by those few others—she was a pure scholar.

He shouldn’t have manifested Holy Kesa and Heavenly Emperor Wang Hexi in the first place—he should’ve manifested Angel Zhi Xin directly.

Chaoyang City.

In an old courtyard in the eastern part of the city, a teenager wielded a long sword, dancing through its forms in the courtyard.

He appeared sixteen or seventeen, his deep red hair tied into a high ponytail that flowed with each sword movement; most striking were his eyes—irises burning crimson, glowing with a mysterious hue under the sunlight.

His swordplay wasn’t sharp or aggressive, but carried an indescribable rhythm; every swing seemed to resonate with the sun.

His breathing was steady and prolonged, each rise and fall of his chest subtly harmonizing with the flow of daylight.
