Hong Yuying couldn’t contain her secret glee, knowing full well that those from the Little General Mansion would not dare to offend the people from the Marquis Mansion.
How does it matter if the Heir Qinghai is protecting her?
She does not even consider who her mother is, or who her father is.
When the Beast Pet Store owner saw that these two young ladies had finally stopped fighting, he quickly handed over the fifty-three beast eggs that Zhuge Rou and her daughter had earlier taken an interest in to Ye Lingyue.
"Hatch them all," said Ye Lingyue, her face still showing dissatisfaction, but inside, she was already laughing uncontrollably.
Hong Yuying, do you really think you have won?
The show is about to begin.
"Mom, you treat Ying’er well. That wild brat thinks she can compete with in her dreams," Hong Yuying hugged the egg as if it was a rare treasure.
"My child, you are so willful. Why not hatch the egg? It cost us over three thousand taels to buy," Zhuge Rou was also curious about the egg that had caused such a stir and was just about to touch it.
At that mont,
With a loud "Bang", the fate egg suddenly exploded without warning.
Imdiately, the entire Beast Pet Store was filled with an indescribable stench of rotten eggs.
Looking at Zhuge Rou and her daughter, their bodies were covered in a wilted liquid, their faces looking as if they had been struck by rotten eggs, coated with egg whites and yolks.
The forr image of a noble lady, a gem among won, was completely erased.
Several old grandmas and maids next to them were screaming, trying to wipe them clean.
But the stench of the rotten egg was so foul and got worse as they wiped.
What Sixth-rank Spiritual Beast, this egg was clearly a rotten stinking egg.
Such an unexpected event was completely unforeseen by Zhuge Rou and her daughter; the expressions on their faces were unpredictable, especially Hong Yuying, whose eyes seed to be shooting fire.
Hong Yuying nearly fainted from anger; she had made such a big fool of herself in front of Heir Qinghai.
"Wild brat, I’m going to fight you. You must have done it on purpose; give back my beast eggs," Hong Yuying was furious, nearly crazed as she tried to scratch Ye Lingyue’s face.
"Hong Yuying, watch your words. Calling soone a ’wild breed’ over and over, is this the family education of the Marquis Mansion?" Feng Xue and Liu Cheng both stood up for Ye Lingyue.
"Miss Hong, the rotten egg exploded unexpectedly. Earlier, it was you who requested to exchange all the beast eggs for that one, and Second Miss Lan also almost chose that egg. If you still have any complaints, feel free to ask Marquis Hong to discuss this matter at my Marquis Qinghai’s Mansion," Heir Qinghai said sternly, his guards stood by his side.
It was clear to everyone that Hong Residence was bullying by leveraging their power.
He had already given way once; as Second Miss Lan was his guest, allowing her to be insulted over and over again would not look good on him as Heir Qinghai.
Saying this, Heir Qinghai disgustingly turned his head away; Hong Yuying’s ghostly appearance and the sll on her were indeed unpleasant.
"You... her..." Hong Yuying was so angry she couldn’t utter a single word.
"Yuying, enough. You have made Heir Qinghai and several young ladies and masters laugh at us. This ti, it was our fault at the beginning; I will co and apologize another day," upon hearing that Marquis Qinghai was getting involved, Zhuge Rou’s heart already sounded the retreat.
If we bring in the Old Marquis for such a matter, it would only give the other branches a handle against us. Now it is the ti when the Princely Heir and my husband are vying for control over the Hong Residence, we absolutely cannot afford any slip-ups.
Despite being in disarray, Zhuge Rou displayed a smile on her face. Truly worthy of being the main Lady of the sixth branch, even just this poise is quite admirable.
Ye Lingyue secretly noted this in her mind and sneered inwardly.
This first confrontation with the mistress and her daughter had ended, but don’t think that this is all, everything has just begun.
Zhuge Rou, together with her daughter, left the Beast Pet Store. This ti, they didn’t manage to buy even a decent Beast Pet; instead, they ended up attracting a stench, making their moods plumt to an all-ti low.
"My Lady, that egg..." A sturdy-looking old maid beside Zhuge Rou attempted to say sothing.
"I know, that little girl did sothing to it. Second Miss Lan of the Lan Residence, huh? Just a lowly wild breed who can’t make it to the big scene. Soon, there will be a palace banquet at the Imperial Palace, and by then, I’ll make sure to humiliate the won of the Lan Residence thoroughly," Zhuge Rou’s dignified face showed a hint of ferocity.
The people of the Hong Residence swaggered away.
Inside the Beast Pet Store, the store’s owner looked worried as he cleaned up the scene.
"Owner, here is so gold, considered as the hatching fee, and so for cleaning." Heir Qinghai paid the fees.
Ye Lingyue had taught the people from the Hong Residence a lesson, and she was in a great mood.
That egg was indeed a rotten egg she had picked out, which had been dead for a long ti. As for why it exploded, it was thanks to the Cauldron Breath.
During her struggle with Hong Yuying, Ye Lingyue had infused so Cauldron Breath into the egg, which would explode under slight external pressure.
The bla could only be placed on the mother and daughter for being too foolish.
"Thank you, Princely Heir, thank you, Second Miss Lan. Those two top-grade eggs will hatch soon, and the other fate eggs will be delivered to the General Mansion within three days." Seeing the money, the Beast Pet Store owner imdiately brightened and his impression of the General Mansion soared.
Not long after, the two top-grade eggs also hatched.
One was a Fourth-stage Spiritual Beast, while the other egg hatched a pair of Spiritual Carps.
"Congratulations, Second Miss Lan, you really have fantastic luck. This is a pair of Fifth Rank Yin Yang Carps. Keeping these carps in a pond, the female can gather the Yin Sha Qi from the heavens and earth, while the male can absorb the Yang Gang Qi from the heavens and earth, aiding in cultivation." The Beast Pet Store owner, eager, ran out.
The function of the Yin Yang Carps was sowhat similar to the Gathering Essence Grass Ye Lingyue had once cultivated, but the benefits were far superior.
As Fifth Rank Spiritual Beasts, the Yin Yang Carps had average attack and defense power. Their only benefit was that they could gather Yin Sha Qi and Yang Gang Qi, which was extrely beneficial for Postnatal, Innate stages, and breaking through the Elixir Realm.
They could be considered excellent aids for Martial Artists below the Elixir Realm in their cultivation.
Even Heir Qinghai, upon hearing that Ye Lingyue actually obtained a pair of Yin Yang Carps, was greatly envious.
"Second Miss Lan, may I ask if you could sell this pair of Yin Yang Carps to ? I am willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold," Heir Qinghai imdiately asked.
Heir Qinghai wanted the Yin Yang Carps naturally for his cultivation; he was also at the Innate Great Success and was close to reaching the Elixir Realm.
"Second Miss Lan, if you are willing, our store is willing to offer fifteen thousand taels of gold," even taking a risk of offending Heir Qinghai, the Beast Pet Store owner quoted a price.
The Beast Pet Store owner, in doing so, wanted to keep the Yin Yang Carps as a living signboard.
"Both of you, I’m sorry, but I have other uses for this pair of Yin Yang Carps. However, if I hatch Little Yin Yang Carps in the future, I can sell them to you both at market price," Ye Lingyue politely declined, leaving them no choice but to accept reluctantly.
