The Rebirth of the Strongest Female Emperor

Chapter 45: The Great Elder (1)

The egg was very small, and although it was covered in soil, a blue and white interwoven pattern was still visible.

Ye Qingtang's eyes sparkled when he saw the egg.

“At last I found you!”

This is an egg, a dragon egg with a live dragon baby in it!

These were the eggs of lightning dragons that had been buried in the mountains for some number of years and scattered in the storms in the past few days. Ye Qingtang saw him in his previous life as well but missed the opportunity to bring him back as he fled for his life. When he returned, the dragon egg had died from prostration due to being exposed for too long outside.

Years later, Ye Qingtang had once seen the lightning dragon that someone had raised, and its ferocity left many people speechless. The rancher was only at Martial Qi Level 2 but was able to exterminate the nearly ten thousand people surrounding him and leave in one piece just by relying on the ruthless lightning dragon.

Ye Qingtang was very sorry back then. If he were to bring the lightning dragon egg away with him in time then, he would not end up being pushed into a dead end by Ye You and the many people he led.

In this life, he would not allow the same regret to happen again.

Ye Qingtang carefully dug out the lightning dragon egg from the ground and carried it in his arms.

As long as he managed to hatch and awaken the lightning dragon egg, he would have another card in his hand!

“Small thing, this is a change for you and me this time. I will not let you die from prostration even before you are born, ”mom Ye Qingtang muttered while caressing a naked egg with a smile.

Ye Qingtang carefully stored the dragon egg. There is still time before dragon eggs hatch, and in the meantime, dragon eggs should be near the body at all times as a form of incubation using body heat. Otherwise, if he were to be a little careless, the dragon egg would lose its life once more.

Ye Qingtang's expression changed slightly, and he walked straight into the front hall.

In the front hall, Ye Ling was sitting on a chair for the highest ranking position. Other than Ye Ling, an old man with a cold expression was also present.

“Tang Tang, you're back at the right time. The Great Elder has just returned today.” Ye Qingtang looked at Ye Qingtang helplessly, but it seemed to sound calm.

Ye Qingtang stopped in his tracks and looked towards the Great Elder who was sitting in the hall.

When Ye Xun tricked Ye Qingtang into leaving Ye's residence, it was the Great Elder who personally caught him and allowed his grandson, Ye You, to seize Ye Qingtang's spirit root.

It could be said that the Great Elder was the initiator of Ye Qingtang's tribulation in his past life. Looking at the Great Elder again today, Ye Qingtang was no longer as hot-tempered as before. He quietly calmed his fluctuating emotions, acted as if nothing was wrong, and greeted politely, saying hello,

“Great Elder.”

The Great Elder was already over eighty years old. Even though all of her hair had turned white, she was still sharp and vibrant, making people believe that she was at least above fifty at first glance. His sharp eyes glanced at Ye Qingtang, and a strange expression flashed across his eyes when he realized that the birthmark on Ye Qingtang's face had disappeared. However, he did not react much and only nodded briefly.

“Traveling to send little You to the Yunxiao Sect was difficult. Great Elder should rest early, ” Ye Ling said with a smile even though she increased her vigilance towards the Great Elder.

Expressionless, the Great Elder replied, “Thank you for your concern. It is an honor for our Ye family because your little one is favored by Sect Master Yunxiao. I have to work hard.”

Ye Ling smiled.
