The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 212: The Battle for the Eggman

(Mommy, you’re coming back for me)

When Overlord Egg sensed Xin Lin’s presence, it was so elated, knowing that Mommy would never abandon it.

Many hunters had previously tumbled down the tree, needless to say, all because of this fussy Overlord Egg’s trickery.

Though it was young, its territorial awareness was no less than that of a Xuan Bird.

Except for Mommy, it was resolute in not letting anyone else climb the tree.

It wiggled its round and portly egg body and nestled the Sealing Spirit Talisman beneath itself.

That was something that had fallen from Mommy, it must keep it safe, and never let it fall into the hands of others.

Overlord Egg was excited beyond measure, waiting for Mommy to come and fetch it.

Down at the base of the tree, Heir Yang and the others saw Xin Lin about to climb up, and they were quite jubilant.

"Just as we thought, those hunters were just making excuses. A fool really climbed up. Get ready. As soon as the Xuan Bird appears, shoot the arrows immediately."

Heir Yang couldn’t wait to test his "200,000 taels" Sealing Spirit Talisman.

"But, Princely Heir, that child?"

The guards exchanged glances, knowing that arrows couldn’t choose their targets, and that the child would surely die.

"If a fool dies, he dies. At worst, we give his family several taels as condolence money," Heir Yang said impatiently.

To the nobility like him, the lives of commoners were worth less than dust.

The guards had no choice but to aim their bows at the canopy, waiting for the Xuan Bird to appear.

Xin Lin climbed up to the canopy and was greeted by a bright scene, with the sun rising from the east atop the trees.

She had been in Qin Mountain for a whole night, and tomorrow was the Zixiao Palace Exam.

"Sealing Spirit Talisman!"

Xin Lin’s eyes lit up when she saw the old and worn Sealing Spirit Talisman beneath Overlord Egg’s bottom. She strode forward, about to retrieve the talisman.

She gave a tug, but the Grey Egg was pressing down firmly on the talisman.

"Hey, can you move a little?"

Xin Lin pushed at the Overlord Egg, which despite its small size, was quite heavy.

(Mommy~)

Overlord Egg, excited, bumped into Xin Lin.

Xin Lin reacted quickly and jumped to avoid it.

"Look here, Overlord Egg, even as an egg, you have to have some principles. You framed me yesterday, and I let that slide. Surely you wouldn’t want to take my Sealing Spirit Talisman as well, right?"

(Mommy~ want a hug)

Overlord Egg lunged again.

Xin Lin ran in fright, as this Overlord Egg had managed to demolish six to seven Xuan Bird Eggs in one go; it was a super hooligan, not to be trifled with.

One person, one egg; one hiding and the other seeking, they chased each other around the birds’ nest, much to their delight.

And at this time, where was Aunt Bird?

Aunt Bird, having lost six to seven eggs last night, was in utter despair.

Although one egg remained, after being taken back to the nest, it became sickly and wasn’t likely to live much longer.

Aunt Bird put all the blame on Xin Lin’s head, and, in a fit of rage, she was now gathering the birds from the peaks of Qin Mountain, deliberating on how to capture her.

A group of birds of different shapes and sizes perched together.

With a series of cries, Aunt Bird described Xin Lin’s appearance.

Then a Black-headed Weng flew over, making its cooing noises.

What it meant was that a suspected child, leading a group of people, was heading towards the Ancient Forest.

Upon hearing this, the Xuan Bird’s iridescent feathers stood on end, and with a loud cry, hundreds of birds gathered together, like a swiftly moving cloud, headed towards the Ancient Forest.

As the sun climbed higher and higher, Xin Lin was almost run ragged by the Overlord Egg.

"Stop! Overlord Egg, let’s rest."

Xin Lin was panting heavily, a calculating glint flashing in her dark eyes.
