Chapter 145: The Daily Life of a Couple Hatching Eggs

Zhang Fan, after personally witnessing the comical sight of his family's male beastman carrying the dragon egg on his back, finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha…… Ba Ke Er, what should I do? I think you look hilarious right now! But it also looks quite suitable! Let's keep it like this for now! If you need to go hunting, just take it off and give it to me. Usually I just rely on you a lot, dear!"

After saying that, Zhang Fan still giggling, hugged Ba Ke Er's huge lion head, and gently rubbed his cheek against Ba Ke Er's nose.

It was precisely because of Zhang Fan's seemingly casual small gesture that, in an instant, it dissolved Ba Ke Er's dissatisfaction with using the strap to carry the dragon egg. At this moment, Ba Ke Er even secretly thought to himself:

If I keep obediently carrying the dragon egg, will dear Fan Fan always do these loving little gestures for me? Thinking this, Ba Ke Er grew even fonder of the strap.

No matter what, that was hand-sewn by Zhang Fan himself! For Zhang Fan, who rarely touched needle and thread since childhood, making something by hand was quite difficult!

Ba Ke Er furtively glanced at the pair of hands Zhang Fan had placed on his face—those hands, pierced through all ten fingers while making the strap, made Ba Ke Er's heart ache.

"Fan Fan, hurry up and apply some medicine! Look at you—your hands are all pierced from making the strap, and you don't even realize it."

Before Ba Ke Er's words even finished, Zhang Fan gradually reacted. He simply sat down in front of Ba Ke Er, straightened his posture, and said with a smile:

"It's fine, Ba Ke Er, it's not a serious injury—just a few tiny needle pricks! It'll heal soon, no need for medicine at all!"

Saying that, Zhang Fan also raised both his hands in front of Ba Ke Er, laughing indifferently as he said:

"Look! There's no bleeding anymore, really no need for such hassle—it'll be fine by tomorrow. Let's not waste precious medicine."

Even though Ba Ke Er felt heartbroken, he could only do that, since all the medicine at home was kept in Zhang Fan's spatial Yu pan zhi, and even the medicinal herbs brought back from this outing were handed over to him right away.

Now in Ba Ke Er's hands, there is no medicine at all. So even if Ba Ke Er felt reluctant, he could only watch for now.

At this moment, Ba Ke Er began thinking to himself, 'I should also hide some medicine for next time! Otherwise, if Zhang Fan carelessly hurts me again, what would I do? And what if the next wound is even worse?'

Thinking this, Ba Ke Er felt like he was a terrible person! Good heavens! What the hell am I thinking?! How could I imagine Fan Fan getting hurt?! It's simply unforgivable!

Beast God above! Please, please protect Fan Fan's lifelong safety! Don't let him come to harm like I just imagined!

After the meal, when Ba Ke Er came to his senses, Zhang Fan was no longer in the bedroom. Ba Ke Er then realized the kitchen dishes hadn't been washed yet, so he rushed off to the kitchen without stopping.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Zhang Fan had rolled up his sleeves and was about to start working. Seeing this, Ba Ke Er's heart almost leapt out of his chest, and he hurriedly, with an excited tone, spoke up to stop him:

"Fan Fan, leave it to me!"

Having said that, without waiting for Zhang Fan's agreement, Ba Ke Er already transformed into his half-beast form.

Regarding Ba Ke Er's transformation this time, Zhang Fan watched with eyes almost popping out! Such a dangerous move, and I don't know how Ba Ke Er managed it.

During Ba Ke Er's transformation, Zhang Fan was quite nervous! He feared Ba Ke Er might accidentally drop the dragon egg. But fortunately, in the end, the problem he worried about did not occur.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Ba Ke Er already in half-beast form, Zhang Fan hurried forward to help him undo the strap, then held the dragon egg in his arms.

The whole process of Ba Ke Er washing dishes took place under Zhang Fan's watchful eyes. Ba Ke Er was quite pleased about that, and felt a little proud as well.

Indeed, handsome people are just different—even casually washing dishes can make one's partner unable to look away!

Zhang Fan waited for Ba Ke Er to finish washing the dishes, then pulled him back to the bedroom together.

While being pulled by Zhang Fan, Ba Ke Er was still lost in thought, recalling the way Zhang Fan had looked at him just moments ago with that 'obsessed' gaze.

Unfortunately, after returning to the bedroom, he was ordered by Zhang Fan: 'Ba Ke Er, your dishes are already washed—now quickly transform into beast form and lie on the bed to incubate the egg!'

Poor Ba Ke Er, for the sake of family happiness, the stability of their marital relationship, and his future sexual bliss, had no choice but to submit to Zhang Fan's lewd might.

Thus, seeing Zhang Fan give a command, Ba Ke Er immediately shifted from half-beast form to full beast form, obediently crawling onto the bed step by step and curling into the quilt Zhang Fan had already prepared.

Zhang Fan, seeing Ba Ke Er already in the quilt, then had him stand up and placed the nest containing the prepared dragon egg beneath Ba Ke Er's belly. Only after setting it down did he allow Ba Ke Er to lie down again.

Furthermore, he specifically instructed Ba Ke Er to place his belly on top of the nest and not to press down hard, for fear Ba Ke Er might accidentally crush the dragon egg.

As for why Zhang Fan is so anxious about the dragon egg, it's not without reason. After all, in Zhang Fan's eyes, he himself is a man who cannot bear children.

Compared to the females here, they only look similar outwardly; internally they are completely different. To give Ba Ke Er a child, he had long planned to persuade Ba Ke Er to adopt.

He just never dared to speak up, fearing Ba Ke Er would disagree. But now, because of the chieftain's reason, they have adopted this dragon egg. As long as they successfully hatch the hatchling, whether female or male, it will be their child.

That way, Ba Ke Er could become a father—although not biologically, a child raised from infancy is no different from a biological one, except for the species difference.

Although, for Ba Ke Er, having a son modeled after the Exquisite Dragon Beast would also be quite impressive. But the most important thing is that he knows Zhang Fan likes this dragon egg very much, and for Zhang Fan's sake he is also willing to adopt it.

During the noon nap, Ba Ke Er feared he might accidentally crush the dragon egg, so he didn't dare sleep, instead lying carefully on the bed, not daring to move.

When Zhang Fan woke up, he only then noticed that Ba Ke Er had been in that pose before he slept, and still was upon waking. He gradually realized what was happening and hurriedly got up from the bed.

Then he gently patted Ba Ke Er's head, rubbed it, and smiled, saying: 'All right, Ba Ke Er, there's no need for you to be this careful. All right, stop incubating—go get some rest now; I'll take over the incubation.'

Saying that, Zhang Fan took the dragon egg together with its nest from beneath Ba Ke Er's belly, then took out the egg and stuffed it into his own clothing. At that moment, Zhang Fan suddenly seemed to become a big-bellied pregnant husband.

Ba Ke Er stared, unable to look away, and couldn't help thinking to himself: 'When will Fan Fan become a true pregnant husband and give birth to a little one for me?'

Seeing Ba Ke Er continually staring at his suddenly bulging clothing, Zhang Fan also felt a bit unable to bear it, rolled his eyes inwardly, then crawled back onto the bed, pulled the covers over himself, lay down, and glared at Ba Ke Er, saying angrily and embarrassed:

"Ba Ke Er, hurry up and change back! Hurry up and sleep with me! If you don't sleep, I'll make you carry the dragon egg around the tribe!"

At this moment, Ba Ke Er also realized Zhang Fan was showing signs of anger, so he hurriedly turned into half-beast form, lifted the covers, and lay down beside Zhang Fan.

By the time Ba Ke Er woke up, it was already approaching dusk.

At this time, Zhang Fan was also busy in the kitchen preparing their dinner. After getting up, Ba Ke Er did not take the dragon egg from the bed; instead, he tightly covered it with several layers of blankets before leaving the bedroom.

After finishing dinner, Zhang Fan went to the branch shed in the yard, added some firewood, then returned indoors to fetch the dragon egg. However, Zhang Fan failed to notice a small detail.

That is—although Ba Ke Er had tightly covered the dragon egg when leaving the bedroom, when Zhang Fan went to pick it up, he saw that the egg was only loosely covered.

After Ba Ke Er finished washing the dishes and walked over to sit beside Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan suddenly recalled the incident and, out of the blue, launched a tirade at Ba Ke Er for not having covered the dragon egg properly.

Poor Ba Ke Er, even after being scolded, couldn't recall at all what he had done wrong. However, to avoid adding fuel to the fire, Ba Ke Er wisely chose not to argue with Zhang Fan.

Whatever Zhang Fan scolded him for, Ba Ke Er would comply, and after Zhang Fan finished scolding, he would silently apologize: 'Sorry, it's all my fault.'

Fortunately, although Zhang Fan is a somewhat weak uke, he is also a man, and unlike women on Earth, he does not insist that the man specify exactly what he did wrong.

Otherwise, given Ba Ke Er's muscular yet simple-minded male beastman nature, he might very well go crazy from it! After all, making an innocent person admit fault is already enough; if we also forced that innocent person to say exactly where he was wrong, frankly, that would be deadly!

After Ba Ke Er apologized, Zhang Fan's anger also faded, since he was by nature not petty nor grudge-holding. To Zhang Fan, once a matter is over, it's over—he would never bring it up again.

Ba Ke Er deeply loves this trait of Zhang Fan's—there's no need to worry about quarrels over trivial matters. In fact, counting it up, since they met they seem never to have argued.

At night, when Zhang Fan and Ba Ke Er took a bath, they also didn't forget to wash the dragon egg. When it was time to sleep, they simply placed the egg into its nest and then held both egg and nest together as they got into bed.

Over the next few days, Zhang Fan and Ba Ke Er continued to incubate the egg in this way. They felt no impatience at all, no bother, and instead took to the task with relish.
