Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

When Yongzhen saw Qingning's changes, she felt slightly uneasy. The sudden changes in her body were not something that everyone could accept.

"Bai Niang, do I also have to soak in an egg for a few days like Qing Ning...?"

"No need. You have a good foundation, so it won't take that long. If you relax, you can finish before evening."

In the Abyss, it is impossible to distinguish between day and night; time can only be represented by the day and night cycle outside.

“Okay…” Yongzhen nodded nervously.

Chu Mingkong accompanied the two elegant princesses with flowing long hair to a snake egg that Bai Niang had indicated.

Yongzhen held her own hand, her jade-like hand gently touching the snake egg, but her slender hand went straight inside. There was no resistance from the eggshell.

She stepped inside with a burst of energy. The white snake that was wrapped around her body slowly wriggled out and crawled between Yongzhen's round and smooth legs. She let out a sensitive moan, then relaxed her mind and accepted the immersion and baptism of the snake egg.

The unease gradually faded from her face, and she returned to calm.

Chu Mingkong was suddenly licked by the white python, and only then did he realize that Bai Niang was asking him for Qing Ning. With a flick of her tongue, she coiled the girl around her head, seemingly to show her the scale where Li Lu was currently resting.

This is quite considerate of Qingning's feelings.

During this time, Chu Mingkong pondered what his inheritance was like.

Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be able to lengthen his tongue like Qingning. He won't be able to go back and lick his master's precious tongue inside and out until she's completely exhausted.

The power of the snake egg seemed to be concentrated in his heart, that is, the core of the abyss, which truly enhanced his strength after he transformed into the abyss.

Even his current form as a black blood man is no longer just a lump of black mud like before; now his body is covered in armor resembling snake scales.

There must be some inheritance of the Bai Niang race in this, and if we explore it, we might be able to gain a deeper understanding of the Bai Niang.

Just as Chu Mingkong was about to immerse himself in the scene, his gaze passed over Yongzhen's current eggshell and he noticed that the bottom of those snake eggs seemed to be covered with some bones and eggshells as rough as rock walls.

Those were definitely not Bai Niang's snake eggs... but rather eggs from another race.

He walked over to the snake eggs, squatted down to check, and found that there were also snake eggshells among the "debris" on the ground.

During his few days back in Tianya City, Chu Mingkong naturally took the opportunity to slip away from Bai Niang and visit Tianya Tower to learn about snakes.

It is known that during the incubation process, female pythons exhibit extremely strong maternal instincts, coiling themselves around their eggs to protect them after laying them. However, because a snake's body temperature is insufficient to incubate the eggs, they seek out leaves and twigs, using the warmth from the decaying wood to incubate them.

Were these remains brought by Bai Niang to incubate her eggs?

Then why are there still empty snake eggshells? Could there be other creatures of the White Snake kind deep in the Abyss?

"Bai Niang, what are these?" No amount of doubt could be better than asking, Chu Mingkong looked at Bai Niang.

"While I slept, a mysterious entity stealthily stole my child, and when I found it, only the eggshell remained..."

Bai Niang's emotions were filled with an indescribable sorrow, as if it were something that should have been unforgettable, but the years had worn away the feelings at the time. She only remembered that it was a sad event, but had forgotten how to grieve.

"Then what are these skeletons and the eggshells of the alien species?"

“Some of the offenders, and some of the things I brought back from the children’s festival when I was seeking revenge a long time ago.”

The calmer Bai Niang's explanation, the more Chu Mingkong could sense the heaviness in her heart.

He roughly understood why Bai Niang stayed in this place and did not want to leave, and he also understood why she said that she was "bound" in this deep abyss.

(PS: That's all for this afternoon, I have to go out to run some errands.)

Chapter 335 While the effects of the medicine haven't worn off!

Even though Chu Mingkong had a lot of curiosity, he couldn't keep asking questions without thinking. That would be like rubbing salt into the wound and reminding Bai Niang of unpleasant memories.

Chu Mingkong could only make a simple deduction in his mind based on that few words of information.

First, the depths of the abyss were far more bustling than he had imagined, far from being a desolate wasteland. Not only were there other egg thieves here, but also other ferocious beasts of the abyss, beasts capable of laying eggs.

Secondly, besides being stolen, these snake eggs must have been the subject of other struggles, with other ferocious beasts from the abyss coming to snatch them.

These skeletons and the eggshells used in the sacrificial ceremony should have nothing to do with the egg thief. A gentle being like Bai Niang, who did not show strong hostility when she first met Chu Mingkong and Feng Ying's group in the depths of the abyss, would not steal the eggs of other beings for no reason. It must be revenge.

After searching around for revenge, Bai Niang still said she didn't know who stole the egg, which meant that the being came from outside the Abyss.

Only the eggshells of the snake eggs remain here, which means that the egg thief stole the snake eggs as a tonic, cracked them open, sucked out the marrow, and ran away, leaving only the remains of the eggshells for Bai Niang.

Chu Mingkong's brain capacity was almost exhausted; he couldn't come up with any more reasoning. He sighed inwardly:

"The child I protected so carefully back then has now been so casually passed on to me..."

Although it was also given to Qingning, judging from Bai Niang's previous intentions, it was mainly passed on to him alone, and the rest were given out based on his nepotism.

Bai Niang's trip out this time was probably to gather intelligence?

But it's unknown what era that happened in. Bai Niang has always been deep in the Abyss, and it's difficult for her to even compare time with the outside world. How can she determine what era the egg thief appeared in?

With his mind preoccupied with various matters, Chu Mingkong was unable to calmly ponder the inheritance bestowed upon him by the snake egg.

He gazed at the glistening snake eggs that had not yet begun to be passed on, and began to feel a slight sense of identification with the identity of Bai Niang's offspring.

After pondering for a long time, Yongzhen's legacy came to an end.

The egg liquid inside the snake egg had become clear like water, only slightly stickier than water, indicating that all the "nutrients" inside had been transferred to Yongzhen's body.

Chu Mingkong suppressed his slight disappointment, put on a celebratory smile, picked up the two princesses, and asked:

"How are you feeling? Let me see your tongue~"

After Chu Mingkong put both Yongzhen down, he pretended to reach out and touch her mouth, but the elegant and aloof Yongzhen gently slapped his pig's trotter away.

She pointed to her eyes, and Chu Mingkong looked over and met her gaze. Only then did he realize that Yongzhen's true form had turned into snake eyes, although the vertical pupils were a lighter color and not easily noticeable at first glance.

Yongzhen continued, "Also... I feel like my body temperature is a little low."

The change in body temperature was in her true form, exhibiting some characteristics of a snake. Because only her true form showed this change, Yongzhen's soul could clearly compare and perceive it; one of her bodies was cold, while the other was normally warm.

"Your inheritance seems to be more effective than Qingning's. Is there any difference in the puppet body?" Chu Mingkong asked.

“It’s different. This side of the doll’s body has teeth. Be careful when you mess around, Mingkong!” Yongzhen said sternly, pretending to warn her, as she slightly parted her crystal lips.

The original little tiger teeth looked a bit sharp, like snake fangs, but Yongzhen could put them away herself.

Chu Mingkong, with his sharp eyes, noticed that Yongzhen's tongue had also developed a snake-like appearance, as if it could fork. However, Yongzhen was afraid that Chu Mingkong would pinch her tongue and play with it, just like he had with Qingning before, so she didn't dare to open her mouth wide.

The white python lowered its body and licked Yongzhen's body, cleaning the "egg white" off her. It was treating her like its own daughter.

Seeing Yongzhen's slightly shy demeanor, she assumed she was unaccustomed to the changes in her body and said:

You will gradually be able to control these changes, and normally you can maintain the same posture as before.

Chu Mingkong used a prepared remark to lighten the mood, especially since Yongzhen had just "hatched." He asked with a smile:

"Oh, right, I suddenly remembered something... If Yongzhen has a baby in the future, will it be a baby born from a snake egg?"

"......!!"

Upon hearing this, Yongzhen immediately tensed up, realizing that this was quite a possibility.

The thought of being watched by those wicked guys like Jin Yu and Ming Kong while she laid her egg caused her usually stern face to turn bright red, the blush even extending to her ears, making her both cute and charmingly radiant.

[It depends on fate. If the baby is born, will they be more of a descendant of the human race, or more of my lineage?]

Bai Niang's tone remained calm, not concerned with matters that far in the future; she was more focused on Chu Mingkong's lineage.

Chu Ming fantasized about having a rare and embarrassing opportunity to tease Yongzhen, but he was also afraid that she would get angry and refuse to let him play with her tongue for ten days or half a month, which would be troublesome.

Let's calm down first, and try teasing her again after Yongzhen's snake tongue is used to make her blush with embarrassment.

"Now that the major matter on your mind has been mostly resolved, let's go back to Qingxin Mansion for a stroll. Bai Niang, I'll take you to see your little granddaughter~"

Actually, there are still a few eggs that need to be passed on, but with the experience of Qingning and Yongzhen, the subsequent ones are no different.

We'll bring people back to inherit the legacy every few days, just like taking a stroll in the depths of the abyss and visiting Bai Niang's true form.

After all, she doesn't know how to transform her true form yet, and there's nowhere to put her if she returns to Tianya City. Using her clone to follow Chu Mingkong is enough.

[There's one more thing, Yongzhen, have you taken any strange medicine? Why would you take this? There's no sign of childbirth on your body.]

"What do you mean?" Chu Mingkong looked at Yongzhen, then at Bai Niang, completely bewildered.

Qingning, who was perched on Bai Niang's head, also looked bewildered, not knowing what was being said.

Yongzhen knew what Bai Niang was talking about; it was probably because she had suddenly become like this a few days ago.

Seeing Chu Mingkong's worry, Yongzhen gritted her teeth and explained the situation to him in a straightforward way.

Yongzhen pinched her doll-like body, and a stream of sweet rain flew out in a graceful curve, sprinkling onto Chu Mingkong's face.

"I don't know the specifics, but it started a few days ago. I saw you come back alone, Mingkong, but Qingning was nowhere to be seen. I thought something serious had happened. Other women in the household also experienced this. It's probably Jinyu's doing. She had taken this kind of medicine before."

"Just out of consideration for your feelings, no one in the household will pursue or question Jinyu for the time being..."

Chu Mingkong's expression hardened, realizing that things were not so simple. He pondered the key points Yongzhen had mentioned.

Other women in the household have also experienced this condition?!

He asked the mature and dignified white python with concern:

"Bai Niang, how long will it take for the effects of the medicine on Yongzhen to wear off?"

Judging from the residual effects of the medication, a relatively large dose was taken, and it will take another four or five days, but there should be no major problems.

Chu Mingkong then learned of this matter, and he quickly made a decision:

"Let's go back to Qingxin Mansion immediately! How could you not tell me about something this important!"

There's still time. Before the effects of the medicine wear off, I have to try them one by one!

Chapter 336 Jin Yu Awaits Public Criticism

"Hiccup~"

"Hiccup~"

Inside the room, the two little girls took turns burping, one after the other, creating a unique melody.

Shangguan Rong took care of the two little princesses, patting their backs to help them breathe, her expression somewhat helpless.
