74: Pet Egg
Hearing the System's voice, Ye Ming immediately spoke.
"Check-in!"
[Ding! Ninth year check-in successful. Congratulations, Host, on obtaining a random Pet Egg and one hundred bags of Pet Food!]
Pet? And it comes with Pet Food?
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, then a golden egg appeared before his eyes. The golden egg was as tall as he was, and he was 1.78 meters tall.
Could such a large egg hatch a Dragon?
Even stranger, there was a large question mark in the middle of the golden egg. Did this mean it was random?
Ye Ming wondered curiously, and the introduction of the golden egg slowly emerged from the side.
[Random Pet Egg: Open the eggshell, and a random pet cub will appear. It could be a Dragon, or it could be a pig. Come on, Host, the time to witness your luck has arrived!]
As Ye Ming finished reading the introduction, the descriptive text transformed into a small golden hammer, which automatically flew into his hand.
"Is it that ceremonial?"
Ye Ming looked at the hammer in his hand with a strange expression, then no longer hesitated and directly struck the golden egg with one hammer.
With a "crack".
The golden egg shattered, and at the same time, a strong golden light erupted. Even Ye Ming, who was at the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, had to cover his eyes, fearing the golden light would blind him.
After the golden light lasted for nine breaths, a pile of eggshell fragments was revealed.
Ye Ming removed his hand from his eyes and looked at the spot where the golden egg had shattered.
"Ying ying~"
A foxy, coquettish sound came from the eggshell fragments.
Under Ye Ming's gaze, a pair of pink little paws stretched out first, forcefully pushing aside the eggshell, and then a small pink head squeezed out from within.
This is, a pink fox?
Ye Ming raised an eyebrow. This was his first time seeing a pink fox in reality.
He remembered a game on Blue Star that also had a pink fox, called what-Shenyuan, he thought.
But for some reason, he couldn't quite remember.
"Ying ying~"
Upon seeing Ye Ming, the little pink fox let out a cheerful cry, and with a forceful push from its four small paws, it jumped onto Ye Ming, asking for a hug.
Looking at the little fox in his arms, Ye Ming came back to his senses. He held it with one hand and took out a bag full of Pet Food from his System space with the other.
As soon as the Pet Food was taken out, the little fox wiggled its tender pink nose, as if it smelled something delicious. It eagerly looked up at Ye Ming, its body starting to move restlessly.
"Don't rush, don't rush!"
Feeling the little fox moving around in his arms, Ye Ming could only comfort it and quickly open the bag.
After opening the bag, Ye Ming was surprised again. These Pet Food were actually white Medicinal Pills, with a full eight hundred pills in one bag.
He still had ninety-nine bags in his System space, which meant the System had given him eighty thousand Medicinal Pills for pets!?
While thinking about these Medicinal Pills, Ye Ming didn't forget to give one to the little fox first.
The little fox, having eaten, calmed down and continued to make happy 'ying ying' sounds.
At this moment, the introduction of the Pet Food also appeared.
[Pet Food: Refined from Spirit Medicine loved by many Spirit Beasts. One pill can make a pet grow rapidly for ten days. Feed one pill to the pet daily until one hundred days later, after which it can be given as a snack!]
After reading the introduction of the Pet Food, Ye Ming couldn't help but sigh, the System was truly considerate, even preparing snacks for the little fox.
At this time, the little fox was already asleep in Ye Ming's arms. It needed to sleep to digest the Pet Food it had just eaten.
Ye Ming seemed to have thought of something; he still didn't know the species of this little fox and needed to check it.
So Ye Ming gazed at the little fox, and soon after, the introduction about the little fox appeared.
[Charming Spirit Nine-Tailed Fox: This is one of the branches of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. Its Cultivation talent is not inferior to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. They are born with a charming bone, especially after transforming into human form; their beauty can even stir the mortal heart of an Immortal. It is also the best pet; whoever it recognizes as its master, it will never leave or abandon for life!]
"Never leave or abandon?"
Looking at the little fox sleeping soundly in his arms, a faint light flickered in Ye Ming's eyes as he murmured, lost in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Ming suddenly shook his head, casting aside the wild thoughts in his mind.
Next, Ye Ming personally made a pet room for the little fox on the flying boat, then placed it inside to sleep, while he gently walked out of the flying boat.
Outside the flying boat, Cold Beauty and the others were no longer playing; instead, they were preparing food, including roasted White Flood Dragon meat, boiled seafood porridge, and so on, all made by Cold Beauty alone.
Xiao Bai was in charge of starting the fire nearby, because only its fire could properly roast the White Flood Dragon meat. During this process, it couldn't help but sneak a few skewers of roasted meat.
When Ye Ming walked out of the flying boat, Cold Beauty and the others knew.
"Master, here, roast meat!"
Seeing Ye Ming come out, Xiao Bai moved, instantly appearing in front of Ye Ming, and handed him ten skewers of roasted meat.
Ye Ming didn't stand on ceremony, took the roasted meat and devoured it, then casually picked up Xiao Bai and walked towards Cold Beauty's position.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Ming, having satisfied his craving, was now lying on the beach looking at the starry sky. Xiao Bai, beside him, couldn't help but go and frolic with Cold Beauty again.
Suddenly, Ye Ming turned his head to look at the flying boat. He felt that the little fox was about to wake up, and he remembered that he hadn't named the little fox yet.
What name should he give it?
Ye Ming got up and walked towards the flying boat in deep thought, and when Xiao Bai saw Ye Ming going back to the flying boat, it ran over.
"Master, aren't you going to lie down a bit longer? I was just about to come and lie down with you!" Xiao Bai asked, looking at Ye Ming cutely.
Ye Ming's thoughts were interrupted. He turned to look at Xiao Bai. He suddenly had a good idea: letting Xiao Bai and the others help think of a name might be a good choice.
"No more lying down, Xiao Bai. Go call them all over. I'll introduce you to a new friend later!" Ye Ming smiled slightly.
"Okay, Master!" Xiao Bai's eyes lit up slightly when it heard about a new friend, then it darted off to call everyone.
A moment later, inside the flying boat.
"Tell me, what name should we give it? It needs to have the surname Ye, because it's my pet!" Ye Ming said, holding the newly awakened little fox, to the seven people and one tiger in front of him.
Among the seven people, two were Cold Beauty and Leng Mo, and the other five were five Beast Kings who had already transformed into human form. The one beside them was Xiao Bai.
They all looked at the little fox in Ye Ming's arms with curiosity. It was also their first time seeing a pink fox.
And the little fox's pair of small pink pupils also looked back curiously at the seven people and one tiger in front.
They all carried Ye Ming's aura, so the little fox wasn't afraid. If they were strangers, it would probably have bristled.
"Master, in my opinion, let's call it Ye Fen!" One of the seven Beast Kings was the first to think of a name and directly said to Ye Ming.
Another Beast King quickly retorted, "That doesn't sound good. Ye Hu sounds better!"
"Yours isn't good either. I think it should be called Ye Xiaoxiao. It's so small, this name must suit it perfectly!" Another Beast King suggested.
Hearing this, Xiao Bai suddenly pushed the person next to it with its paw and said, "Go away, yours is even worse! It will grow up, and it's so well-behaved, it should be called Ye Guaiguai!"
