As the Old Man showed what he had just taken from his back, everyone became stunned.
"An egg?" Feng Qian asked while observing the exquisite colorful Egg in the Old Man's hand.
The vibrant hues and intricate patterns on the egg left Feng Qian, Feng Linlin, the Golden Tortoise, and the Phoenix in awe. The radiant colors seemed to dance, creating a mesmerizing display.
Feng Linlin, unable to contain her curiosity, was the first to speak. "Master, what kind of egg is this? It's so beautiful!"
The Old Man, its eyes twinkling with an excitement, smiled at Feng Linlin's inquiry. "Ah, this is no ordinary egg. Feast your eyes upon the Rainbow Dragon Egg."
"Rainbow Dragon Egg? Whoah!" Feng Linlin commented in excitement after the Old Man told her that it was a Rainbow Dragon Egg
The revelation left Feng Qian and the others stunned. The Rainbow Dragon was a legendary Spirit Beasts, spoken of in legends and regarded as the strongest Auxiliary-Type Dragon species.
Feng Linlin's eyes widened as the Old Man continued its explanation. "The Rainbow Dragon is an extremely rare species of dragon, and legend has it that the Rainbow Dragon was once the Dragon God's strongest supporter."
As Old Man delved into the lore surrounding the Rainbow Dragon, Feng Qian couldn't escape an uncomfortable realization, he knew this Old Man said it on purpose because the Old Man still assumed that he was the reincarnation of the Dragon God.
Gulp~
Feng Qian's expression remained composed, but inwardly, he couldn't shake the weight of the connection between dragons and the Dragon God, especially considering the assumptions made by the Old Man years ago.
Despite the discomfort, Feng Qian chose to play ignorant, maintaining the veil of secrecy around his past life.
Feng Linlin, caught in the excitement of the impending arrival of a Rainbow Dragon, exclaimed, "This is incredible! We're going to have a Dragon as our junior disciple!"
"Master," Feng Qian spoke with a measured tone, "where did you find the Rainbow Dragon Egg?"
The Old Man, acknowledging Feng Qian's curiosity, nodded solemnly. "Ah, long ago, this Old Man stumbled upon the egg during his travels. At that time, the egg showed no signs of life, and I believed it might never hatch."
A hush fell upon the mountain as Feng Qian and the others listened attentively to the Old Man. The Old Man continued with a smile, "However, after a milion years of keeping it. Unexpectedly, the Rainbow Dragon Egg has now shown the stirrings of life, and signs of hatching soon."
Feng Linlin, her eyes gleaming with excitement, couldn't contain herself. "Master, when will the Rainbow Dragon Egg hatch? I'm eager to meet our new junior disciple!"
The Old Man chuckled at Feng Linlin's enthusiasm. "This Old Man has predicted it will hatch in about a few days."
However, fate had other plans, and a sudden sound of crack was heard.
Crack~~
The Rainbow Dragon Egg was hatching right before their eyes!
Feng Linlin, her excitement abruptly replaced with disbelief, turned to the Old Man accusingly. "Master, you said it would take a couple of days! You were lying!"
The Old Man, caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events, stammered, "I... I did not expect the egg to hatch so soon. Fate has its own sense of timing."
As the eggshell began to split open, revealing the delicate yet resilient creature within, a small, cute white dragon head emerged.
The dragon's scales shimmered in pristine white, and its wings displayed a dazzling array of three colors, resembling a living canvas of beauty.
The Old Man, now wearing a look of surprise mixed with amusement, watched as the adorable dragon started to crawl out of the eggshell.
Feng Qian, standing alongside the others, observed the unfolding spectacle with a mix of curiosity and wonder.
To everyone's astonishment, the tiny dragon, its eyes sparkling with innocence, bypassed the others and made its way toward Feng Qian.
Feng Linlin, still in a state of disbelief, whispered, "Why is it going to Brother Qian? Shouldn't it come to me?"
As the little dragon reached Feng Qian, it paused, looking up at Feng Qian with eyes filled with trust and recognition.
The Old Man watched silently and nodded knowingly, "Alright, I'll leave the dragon to you, take good care of it," and before leaving the Old Man added. "Oh… right, tomorrow we will go to Sea God Island to meet the new Sea God Apostle."
