The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 4

Although holding the egg was warm, it wasn't exactly a joyous occasion.

The dragon egg was hidden by the system, but somehow it had rolled out on its own, and now it was inexplicably heating up.

She glanced back at the dark pool. If the heat was caused by being submerged in the pool's water, it should be cold, not hot.

What on earth was going on?

The book didn't provide much description about dragon hatching, only mentioning that the egg must rely on the Dragon Clan's Dragon Rearing Abyss to break its shell.

The heroine had been nurtured by the Dragon King in the Dragon Rearing Abyss for three hundred years, so theoretically, she should no longer need it.

The original text didn't mention how the heroine hatched. After the prologue, the author used a time skip, and the heroine appeared at sixteen, entering the Tianyan Sect.

The temperature of the dragon egg was so high that even through the wet cloth, it was burning her hands. Luo Qingci had no choice but to release it.

Ignoring the coldness invading her body, Luo Qingci stared anxiously at the egg.

She suddenly had a thought and gently extended a trace of spiritual energy into the egg with her fingertips.

She feared her spiritual energy might conflict with the heroine's, so she only inserted a small amount. However, it was immediately absorbed without a trace.

Luo Qingci was stunned and tentatively increased her spiritual energy.

The egg seemed to have found a source of life, desperately drawing Luo Qingci's spiritual energy.

Sensing the danger, Luo Qingci quickly withdrew her hand, but the dragon egg followed the motion and rolled toward her.

The ugly egg continued to roll, looking impatient and uncomfortable. Luo Qingci felt helpless.

A dragon egg rolling around and causing a fuss was quite frightening.

She hesitated, reluctant to risk giving more spiritual energy.

At that moment, the egg trembled again, and its shell glowed red.

A part of the originally heavy shell had turned transparent under the red light, and Luo Qingci saw a small claw print on it.

Somehow, at that instant, Luo Qingci's heart trembled uncontrollably.

At that moment, the egg seemed to have genuinely become a living being in her eyes.

The tender and vibrant life force surged.

Luo Qingci bit her lip, considering her task. Looking at the small claw still pressing against the eggshell, she finally extended her hand and touched the egg.

The cold spiritual energy was sent in, and Luo Qingci controlled the amount, fearing that the drastic temperature difference might harm the heroine inside the egg.

But apparently, she worried too much. The egg eagerly accepted her spiritual energy, growing more intense.

Wounded and soaked in the cold water of the dark pool, her own spiritual energy was already in disarray, and her whole body was frozen. As her spiritual energy was drawn out, it somewhat eased the invading cold, but also left her own energy exhausted.

She endured and endured but eventually couldn't hold it anymore and coughed up blood.

The coldness had reached her organs, and the blood she coughed up was frosted. In her haste, some of it splattered onto the egg.
