Chapter 120: Chapter 120 The Egg Cracked

“`

Thinking about it, he felt this was not very proper. If someone were to fall into the grass cave and see, he, Lin Shen, wouldn’t be able to clear his name, and it would not be good for Bai Shenfei’s reputation either.

However, he hadn’t brought a tent or anything similar, as he wasn’t out to camp; who would bring such things.

Lin Shen had no choice but to take off his white robe and cover Bai Shenfei with it, including her face, so that if anyone did see, they wouldn’t know who the person sleeping beside him was.

Opportunity knocks but once, and to obtain the Fire Seed from Bai Shenfei, Lin Shen couldn’t afford to care about much else and lay down beside her.

Thinking it over, this still didn’t seem appropriate. With his red, tight-fitting clothes and helmet, lying next to a woman, if Bai Shenfei woke up first, it wouldn’t be good if she mistook him for a pervert.

Lin Shen hurriedly took off his battle clothes and helmet, changing back into his own clothing, and placed the rest of his belongings in the pack on Big Red Bull. He also let Death Powder burrow into his clothes and wrap around his body before lying down again next to Bai Shenfei.

“This way, even if Bai Shenfei wakes up first and sees it’s me, she probably won’t make a fuss.” Lin Shen wanted to fall asleep quickly, but no matter what, he couldn’t drift off.

It wasn’t that he had any designs on Bai Shenfei—in fact, he couldn’t even see what Bai Shenfei looked like; men are visual creatures, and without any sight of her, there were truly no such thoughts.

The issue was that he wasn’t sleepy at all; not the slightest bit drowsy.

Out of options, Lin Shen took out two eggs that he had obtained from a treasure chest and started fidgeting with them in his hands.

These two eggs were very peculiar, about the size of an ostrich egg, and the shell was neither metallic nor crystalline, similar to a chicken egg’s shell.

Both eggs bore a red mark, but what was different was that each egg had its own unique red mark, seemingly stained with fresh blood.

The two marks were dissimilar; one looked like a heart while the other was simply a red dot.

Beyond that, Lin Shen couldn’t see what was so special about the two eggs.

“Could these really be the treasures left by the Ancient Realm King?” Lin Shen couldn’t be certain, but to say that these two eggs were the most cherished objects of the Ancient Realm King, he still found that hard to believe.

What was in the last treasure chest and who took it were also doubts in Lin Shen’s mind.

Someone had arrived earlier than him and Bai Shenfei. If the other person hadn’t lacked a key, they surely wouldn’t have left the contents of the other two treasure chests intact.

“Who could it be? Tian Xin? With his vain personality, it is indeed possible that he left behind that kind of note.” Lin Shen thought for a while, started to feel sleepy, put away the two eggs, turned his head to look at Bai Shenfei, and saw that her breathing had evened out. She seemed better but still unconscious.

Lin Shen closed his eyes, tried to relax, and before he knew it, he really fell asleep.

No one knew how much time had passed when Bai Shenfei slowly opened her eyes to a field of white. Realizing something, Bai Shenfei gently pulled away the white robe covering her and with a stern look assessed the situation around her.

Turning her head, she saw Lin Shen lying beside her, and Bai Shenfei’s gaze suddenly became intense.

A man and a woman lying together in a cave with a white robe covering her—a robe that was obviously Lin Shen’s clothing.

Many images flashed through Bai Shenfei’s mind, her eyes reddening as she stared fixedly at the still sleeping Lin Shen.

Lin Shen was a normal person, and so his thoughts were those of a normal person.

Bai Shenfei’s clothes and shoes were still neat, and a normal person would figure nothing untoward had happened.

Moreover, had anything happened, a woman would generally be able to tell.

However, Bai Shenfei couldn’t be considered completely normal. She was devoted to her cultivation, had been involved with “Talent Theory” research since childhood, and her lifelong wish was to master “Talent Theory”.

“`

She had almost no experience with matters of men and women, and hadn’t given it much thought, at most contemplating finding a dual cultivation partner in the future, but no one had ever taught her the specifics of intimacy between men and women.

Bai Shenfei was terrifyingly naive in this aspect, even though she had occasionally heard a few things, her understanding was superficial at best.

One could only blame the education of the era for being so imperfect, lacking even the most basic sex education.

Bai Shenfei’s understanding of physiology was only slightly better than those women who thought kissing could lead to childbirth, knowing that some indescribable actions were necessary, but that was about it.

In Bai Shenfei’s eyes, Lin Shen sleeping with her must have taken advantage of her vulnerability, doing something to her. Without any experience, she had no clue what it actually felt like afterward.

In reality, it wasn’t entirely Bai Shenfei’s fault, as the Strength she had unleashed while fiercely killing those multi-armed monsters had torn her inner garments apart, only her wide outer robe and shoes remained intact. It’s no wonder she was overthinking.

Lin Shen, of course, hadn’t paid any attention to what had happened underneath her clothes, nor did he anticipate such a situation, believing he was fully prepared and that Bai Shenfei wouldn’t possibly misunderstand him.

Bai Shenfei stared at the sleeping Lin Shen, clenching her teeth, slowly raised her hand, but it never came down; her gaze shifted uncertainly, her expression extremely complicated.

After a while, Bai Shenfei, seemingly having thought of something, put down her hand, glared furiously at Lin Shen, and turned to leave somewhat unsteadily.

By then, Lin Shen had been awakened, but he didn’t dare to open his eyes. He was pondering how to explain the situation to Bai Shenfei when he heard her footsteps as she left.

“This is probably for the best.” Lin Shen felt it was not bad this way, saving the trouble of explanation.

Moreover, he truly didn’t know what to say. Although he hadn’t done anything, it was indeed difficult to explain why he had slept beside her.

Since Bai Shenfei didn’t seem to mind, that was more than good enough.

Little did he know that Bai Shenfei didn’t just “not mind”—she had grossly misunderstood the situation.

“Strange, why haven’t I received any new Fire Seed information?” After being awakened, Lin Shen had been preoccupied with how to explain things to Bai Shenfei, only now realizing that he didn’t seem to have obtained any new Fire Seed.

Hurriedly, he opened his eyes and got up, looking in the direction Bai Shenfei had left; he saw that under the sunlight entering through the cave entrance, her mosaic was still present on her body.

“Could it be that I needed to hold her while sleeping?” Lin Shen felt somewhat frustrated. It was such a rare opportunity to transfer the Fire Seed, and now it seemed difficult to find another occasion like this.

“Do I really need to hold her for it to work? With those Base Mutation Eggs in the past, I just kept them close by, without holding them the whole time!” Lin Shen couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong.

As he was contemplating, he suddenly heard a cracking sound from inside his backpack. Lin Shen was slightly startled but quickly realized what it was, and hurriedly took his backpack, unzipping it to look inside.

Just as he suspected, both eggs had cracks on them, likely signaling that the Base Variant Creatures inside were about to emerge.

Lin Shen had been wondering how to hatch them, but it seemed they were coming out on their own.

“I wonder what they’ll turn out to be?” Lin Shen was still somewhat expectant about the Base Variant Creatures inside.

He took the two eggs out of the backpack and placed them on the ground, watching as more and more cracks appeared on them.

Finally, one of the eggs split in half, and a tiny figure rolled out from inside.

Then, the other egg also split in half in the same way, and another tiny figure rolled out.

When Lin Shen got a clear look at the two little beings, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock.
