Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

On the second floor of the library, extremely faint noises could occasionally be heard.

Surrounding the numerous spirit stones, more cracks appeared on the golden eggshell.

The spiritual energy emanating from the spirit stone is increasing!

Su Mu watched from the side as he replaced the spirit stones that had been used up.

Every so often, he would inject his own blood into the golden egg.

The golden egg's shell is very sturdy, suggesting that the hatchling inside must have expended a lot of energy to incubate it.

Su Mu was filled with hope, yet also a little apprehensive.

This scene reminded Chen Xiaobei of a time in his past life when he was waiting outside the delivery room!

Su Mu could not see through the cracks to see the cubs inside, but he could sense a faint golden light within them.

This golden light can not only block vision, but also divine sense!

And so, the night passed.

As the sun rose, the giant egg, riddled with cracks, was cleaved in two!

At that moment, the golden light split in two!

A small golden beast was lying between two eggshells, panting heavily.

It's a little bird!

Su Mu couldn't immediately recognize what kind of monster it was.

"It has a pair of wings, like an eagle!"

"It had just hatched and had no feathers from a baby bird. Its body surface also had strange patterns."

"This little beast is panting heavily; it looks like it was exhausted right after hatching!"

Su Mu watched for a while, then reached out and patted the little beast's head.

Its head was touched, and it immediately raised its head to look at Su Chen.

After smelling Su Mu's right arm, the latter lowered his head and gasped for breath.

It was obvious that he did not reject Su Mu's caresses at all!

Su Mu took out a small piece of raw beef that he had prepared beforehand and stood side by side with the little beast.

The cub sniffed the small piece of raw meat and then ate it.

Su Mu ate while feeding Jiang Chen.

The little animal was enjoying its nibbling, occasionally letting out "woof woof" sounds.

But Su Mu also realized that the ordinary beef could only fill the little lion's stomach, but it couldn't help the little lion recover quickly.

Su Mu took out a "Spiritual Essence Pill" and fed it to the little beast.

The little beast trusted him completely and swallowed the pill without hesitation.

Not long after, the little black bird flapped its wings happily and came to Su Mu, tilting its head back and letting out a cheerful chirp.

This means I have to swallow another Spirit Essence Pill!

Su Mu was not stingy and continued to feed Xu Que Spirit Essence Pills. He now had enough Spirit Essence Pills and could spend them however he wanted!

The little beast finally stopped making noises while eating after it swallowed thirty Spirit Essence Pills.

"It's hatched?" Ye Zichen asked, somewhat puzzled.

Xiao Anran was also drawn by the sound and went up to the second floor. When he saw that Su Mu's room was open, he quickly ran in and looked at the little thing in the room with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Hmm!" He nodded.

Su Mu nodded; he knew this was a great opportunity.

"So cute!"

Xiao Anran squatted down, stretched out a hand, and was about to touch the stone.

The little phoenix, however, took a step back warily and pecked at Xiao Anran's palm with its beak.

"Wow! That's impressive!"

Xiao Anran pulled her hand back. "This is the name given by Old Madam Su?"

"not yet!"

"I just finished eating!" Su Mu shook his head.

"Does Master Su know what kind of bird this is?"

Xiao Anran said another sentence.

"I don't know!"

Su Mu kept shaking his head.

"It's entirely golden, so let's call it gold for now!"

"no problem!"

Su Mu is someone who has a problem with naming things, but with Xiao Anran's suggestion, the name "Jinzi" (金子) is not bad.

Neither good nor bad!

At least it's acceptable!

"Jin, don't be afraid, come here and let me give you a hug!"

Xiao Anran stretched out his hand and reached out to meet the gold.

But Gold ignored her.

Golden glanced at her, put a piece of eggshell in its mouth, and walked towards Su Mu, making a sound as it did so.

For some reason, although Su Mu didn't know what Golden was calling out, he could understand what Golden was saying.

It's likely that the gold had already consumed a significant amount of Su Mu's blood before it hatched, suggesting a close connection between the two.

What does gold mean?

Xiao Anran asked疑惑地问道, "He seems somewhat wary of me, as if he's worried I'll try to steal the egg from him!"

"Yes! That's exactly it!"

Su Mu smiled and nodded, saying, "This egg is extraordinary and extremely precious!"

"What's the use?"

Xiao Anran looked puzzled.

Just then, Golden came to Su Chen's side, biting on another piece of its eggshell.

"have no idea!"

Su Mu replied, "So far, I don't know as much as you do!"

"Let's go downstairs for dinner!"

Xiao Anran got up and walked outside.

Seeing that she had left, Huang Jin clearly lowered his guard.

After eating most of his food, Huang Jin lay down on the ground and quickly fell asleep.

Su Mu held the little black dog and, seeing that it had fallen asleep, left the room.

While having breakfast, Su Mu inquired about the current situation of the Great Qian Empire from Xiao Anran.

"not good!"

Xiao Anran said in a deep voice, "Outside the imperial city, the originally routed army has been reduced to only 30% of its original strength, less than 20,000 men!"

"Including the soldiers who were conscripted, there are only about 400,000 soldiers left in the capital who are still capable of fighting!"

"Leaving aside the Japanese army, the barbarian tribes of the northern deserts alone number over 600,000!"

"Although the Japanese army is not large, it still numbers close to 20,000!"

"Most importantly, one of them is a Grandmaster, and the 'Divine Judgment' has long had connections with the barbarians; they also have a powerful expert among them!"

"Although the opponent doesn't have a Grandmaster, they do have at least two!"

Su Mu realized this, and it was indeed very bad, and extremely dangerous.

Logically speaking, the Xiao royal family was already in a hopeless situation.

On our side, we only have 400,000 troops, and they are a completely defeated army, while the enemy has more than 800,000 troops!

That's a difference of a full two times!

Although it has geographical advantages and can be used for defense, this is not the era in which Su Mu lived, but a fantasy world!

Even a single grandmaster, no matter how many there are, can break through a thick wall!

In terms of numbers, they are at a significant disadvantage, and there must be huge differences between martial arts experts at different levels!

Moreover, the enemy can completely surround the enemy. As long as it is delayed for a period of time, the defending troops will have no choice but to leave the city, go out to fight, or break out!

Therefore, occupying the terrain of a city does not offer much advantage!
