Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2569

It was an egg with a diameter of approximately half a meter with beautiful engravement carved into the surface. The shell shone in splendid colors reflecting the lights on it as it was turned. From the looks of it, anyone could tell that this was no ordinary item. It took almost half a minute before Darryl was finally capable of sobering. "This...this is...'' he stuttered.

Before he could finish, Diaochan explained with a smile. "This is the dragon egg, a treasure that was left behind by the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor had two items put away in separate treasure chests as his heritage, one being the dragon ball, and the other being the dragon egg."

"What? Wasn't the dragon egg protected by the Sea Mackie Clan?" Darryl felt shaken as he tried to gather his thoughts. "How did you get your hands on this?" He looked to Diaochan in awe and confusion, clueless as to what had happened.

"Actually..." Diaochan bit her lip hesitantly as she tried to search for the right words. Her heart was heavy with the memory of how Jewel's soul was merged into the dragon egg, but before she could continue, she was interrupted by a voice.

"Brother, brother!" The voice shouted relentlessly, followed by the entrance of a handsome man. The man strode towards Darryl hurriendly and asked, "Brother, I've got some updates." The man was indeed, Zhu Bajie. Just as he was shouting, he suddenly caught sight of Diaochan and his attention was immediately drawn towards her.

"Diaochan darling, it has been a so long.'' It took Zhu Bajie half a minute to come to his senses before he started grinning ear to ear at Diaochan. "My, my, years went by and Diaochan darling is still as sexy as ever. You wouldn't have forgotten about me, have you? I was the man that resurrected you. If you want to thank me, let's start by being friends, hehe..." Zhu Bajie's eyes scanned Diaochan up and down as he spoke. Born a player, Zhu Bajie was immediately hypnotized by Diaochan's beauty, so much so that he looked as though he was drunk.

Darryl smiled bitterly at the scene while thinking to himself, ‘ Zhu Bajie never changes, I guess. Still as lewd as ever.’

Feeling uneasy at the way Zhu Bajie was staring at her, Diaochan blushed in embarrassment and rage. She said, "You-" She calmed herself down before retorting coldly, "I am not interested in being friends with you."

"Oh, come on, I am being one hundred percent sincere here," said Zhu Bajie with a playful smile. He stepped closer to Diaochan to admire her beauty in close proximity. "Beautiful, so so beautiful, Diaochan darling. Your beauty is comparable to that of Lady Chang Er in different ways."

Finally running out of patience, Diaochan could take no more of his teasing and shouted at Darryl, "Darryl, I can't go into details about the egg right now. Just make sure that you protect the dragon egg and nourish it from the bottom of your heart." As soon as the last word was spoken, Diaochan tapped her feet on the ground and dashed out of the side hall, leaping towards the sky before anyone could react. Diaochan had every single intention of explaining everything to Darryl in detail, to inform him that the soul resting within the dragon egg was his confidante Jewel, but she simply couldn't find it in her to put up with Zhu Bajie's interference.

"Eh? Diaochan darling, don't go!" Zhu Bajie shouted eagerly and ran after her.

What the...

Darryl didn't know what to think about the situation and decided to focus on the dragon egg. As he studied the egg carefully, his heart filled with unexplainable feelings. Three years ago, he had gone through so much in order to find the treasures that were left behind by the Yellow Emperor and still, the dragon ball was lost at the Valley of Death with not even a clue to its whereabouts. After he had left the Valley of Death, he finally managed to find the dragon ball. But before he could even celebrate it, the dragon ball had been taken by Zhang Jue. Who would have thought that after everything, this piece of treasure would end up in his hands and most shockingly, in the form of the dragon egg?! What amazed Darryl most was that somehow, he felt something familiar radiating from the dragon egg, as if he had known it for a very long time.
