Chapter 625: Chapter 33 Lottery_4
As usual, he took a stroll around and visited the market at Taiyin Mountain.
However, he found that the teahouse was still quiet and desolate.
Only a few patrons were sipping spirit tea in the corners.
Compared to its past bustling atmosphere, it was now a lot quieter.
âCould it be that they are still on a mission and havenât returned yet?â
Wang Ba was a bit perplexed.
...
But then again, he thought that it was perfectly normal.
For Cultivators to be out on missions for three or even five years was common, let alone the mere two or three months since they had left.
At this moment, Wang Ba suddenly remembered a very important matter:
âRight, Bu Chanâs due date should be less than two months away.â
As the child inside Bu Chan gradually absorbed the energy of the spirit materials, Bu Chan was gradually able to accurately perceive the timing of the birth.
Initially, it was estimated to need more than a year. But a few days ago, Bu Chan told him that it would only be about two months.
As for the gender of the baby in her belly, she easily sensed that it was a boy.
Wang Ba didnât care about the gender of the child, but Bu Chan was overjoyed when she found out it was a boy.
It seemed like she had fulfilled a long-held wish.
All these issues were fine, except for one thing â there was a disagreement between them.
Wang Ba wanted to give the child a name, but Bu Chan firmly refused.
She was probably afraid that Wang Ba would come up with a name just as randomly as his own father did, so she insisted on choosing the name.
However, Bu Chanâs naming skills werenât that great either, which left Wang Ba somewhat dissatisfied.
As a result, they still hadnât settled on a name for the child.
Remembering Bu Chanâs rare moments of irritation, a slight smile curled up at the corner of Wang Baâs mouth.
He wouldnât dare to upset Bu Chan, but seeing her flustered, he couldnât help but want to tease her.
After weighing his options, he didnât leave Xuanwu Market immediately, but instead began to stroll around within the market.
Before long, he had satisfactorily obtained a first-class babyâs bellyband for protection, a peace amulet engraved with a lucky cloud pattern, and a pair of bracelets made of phoenix gold.
He also bought some delicate foods and then hurried back to Wanfa Peak.
After having a meal with Bu Chan, instead of going to Cultivate right away, Wang Ba laid on Bu Chanâs belly, feeling the strong pulse of the little one inside.
âThis little one, he just kicked me again.â
Bu Chan helplessly and gently lifted a corner of her clothes, on her rounded belly, a small footprint could be clearly seen, vivid at times, faint at others.
Sometimes a small hand would appear and disappear, indicating that the little one was quite restless inside.
Watching the faint imprint of the little hand on Bu Chanâs belly, Wang Ba couldnât help placing his own palm there.
At that moment, he vaguely felt a primitive instinct rising from the depths of his bloodline.
It was an uncanny feeling.
âDoes the little fellow know that his dad is playing with him?â
Bu Chan couldnât help but express her astonishment.
The imprint of the little oneâs hand on her belly hadnât retreated in the slightest, it was firmly against Wang Baâs palm form the other side of her belly.
Besides this, Bu Chan didnât feel any movements from inside, evidently, the little fellow was extraordinarily quiet at this moment.
This left Bu Chan, who had been âacquaintedâ with the little one for nearly ten months, feeling a hint of jealousy :
âLooks like he likes you best.â
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba gently stroked Bu Chanâs belly with a smile and then leaning towards her belly, he said to the little one inside:
âGood boy, after you come out, you can ignore what your daddy says, but you must listen to your mother, okay?â
Bu Chan couldnât help but laugh:
âSuch a silly senior brother, do you think he can understand what youâre saying?â
But Wang Ba didnât care :
âNo problem⊠when he can understand, Iâll tell him again.â
The two sat on Wanfa Peak, watching the sunset on the horizon and the stars filling the sky.
âŠ
âFinally, she laid eggs.â
As Bu Chan was nearing her due date, she grew increasingly tired. After Wang Ba accompanied her to sleep, he got up and went to check on the chicken pen again.
Almost immediately, he saw Yi 3 huddled in a corner of the isolated chicken pen.
It seemed that she had laid eggs again.
Outside her pen, two roosters of the Snow Sun Chicken breed were pacing, as if patrolling for Yi 3.
Not only Yi 3, two other Phoenix Feathered Chickens in the isolated chicken pen were also incubating eggs.
However, they didnât receive the same treatment as Yi 3.
âEverywhere you go, itâs all about looks!â
Wang Ba sighed, chased off the two Snow Sun Roosters, lifted Yi 3 with his Mana, and indeed, underneath her, he saw a few eggs of strange colors.
There were three in total, two of them were white, only one had red speckles on it.
Wang Ba sensed it and found that the two white ones were unfertilized.
âOne out of three⊠the rate is quite high.â
Wang Ba then checked the eggs laid by the other two Phoenix Feathered Chickens.
However, he only found one fertilized white egg.
âStrangeâŠ.â
Wang Ba compared the two eggs with confusion.
Their sizes were nearly identical, the only difference was one had red speckles and the other didnât.
According to Wang Baâs experience, the color and patterns of eggs from the same breed are usually similar.
Since they are both products of a crossbreeding between Phoenix Feathered Chickens and Snow Sun Chickens, the different coloring of the two eggs left Wang Ba somewhat baffled.
After pondering for a while, he still decided to place the eggs in the hatchery separately.
Unintentionally, he noticed the Wu Monkey King sitting outside the chicken pen, bathed in moonlight.
He realized that he hadnât been paying attention for a while, and the aura of the Wu Monkey King had subtly changed.
