Regarding being reincarnated into a bird again, Ningxia went through a rather complicated psychological process, from resistance to helplessness to acceptance of fate.
At first she couldn't believe that she had become a bird. Rather than traveling through time again, she preferred to believe that she was dreaming.
As time goes by, her body grows day by day, with fine and dense fluff appearing on her body, and the constant damp environment around her. None of this means that everything in front of me is not a dream.
Some Ningxia people who cannot digest this fact live in chaos all day long. In addition, the body is not yet fully developed and cannot withstand excessive thinking. In this way, Ning, Xiaoniao, and Xia mingled around and ushered in the day of her hatching.
That day, Ningxia stayed in her shell doing nothing as usual. Fine cracks appeared on the brown inner wall that had been surrounding her since she woke up, accompanied by the crisp sound of a cracked eggshell.
Despite these signs, the process of actually breaking the eggshell was very long. Ningxia huddled in the corner, feeling like she was waiting for her fate to be pronounced.
And why are there still human voices outside? ! She didn't forget that she was a bird now. Don't let anyone wait outside for her to download the disc.
A small piece of hard object fell down and covered the top of her head. Wisps of bright light shone through the holes and fell on her. Ningxia shrank and felt uncomfortable.
Every time there was one, there were two, and the top shell walls fell down one after another. Soon a large piece of the eggshell's vault was missing, and half of her head was exposed. She only had to stretch her neck to see the outside world.
"Aweng, look, it's come out. The little guy is still shy." A gentle female voice had an unmistakable softness in her tone.
I don't know why, but when I heard the woman's voice, Ning Xia's nose felt sour, and her heart started to beat loudly. Something wanted to burst out from the bottom of her heart.
Someone's breath was approaching her as she spoke. The female voice sounded from above her head. It was very close. The breath she exhaled slightly curled up Ningxia's thin down, but it was not offensive.
"Silly boy, come out. What are you afraid of?" Warm fingertips fell on Ning Xia's head and stroked it gently.
Ning Xia, who seemed to be encouraged, moved hesitantly and poked her head out of the edge of the eggshell. She found that she was now in a relatively high position, and several people were surrounding the terrace not far or near.
They saw Ning Xia move out hesitantly, and there seemed to be a little commotion in the crowd. Those people approached Ning Xia one after another and looked at her with mysterious eyes.
"Aweng, she..." Another unfamiliar male voice came, and he was quickly interrupted mid-sentence.
"Okay, Yun'er, if you have anything to say, we'll talk to you when we get back. Don't talk in front of the child. Xiuxiu, come on, take your cub out. This hatching spirit base is very cold. Don't freeze the cub." The words of the middle-aged man named Aweng were full of disapproval. The other party also stretched out his hand to play with her beak, looking very fond of her.
Ah hey! Don't mess with other people's mouths. The opponent's hand doesn't know how serious it is, but it hurts. Ningxia's hair was about to explode, and he stared at the middle-aged man fiercely.
"Hehehe. The little guy is quite stubborn. Okay, don't be angry. Taiweng gives you a good thing." Ningxia saw the other party carrying something and hanging it around her neck. However, her current body shape did not seem to support her lowering her head to check, so she had to give up.
"Aweng, isn't this too precious?" The woman who was close to Ningxia looked very embarrassed.
"Nonsense. Of course my great-great-grandson can afford it, just a little gadget. Besides, this child...it will need it."
There were some trivial conversations after that, but Ning Xia's eyes became darker and darker, and her head fell into a deep sleep bit by bit.
Looking at the child nestled in her arms, the woman's eyes were filled with cherishment and pity. The fluffy fluff, the sparse crown and the young beak... everything is so cute and endearing.
Even though this child arrived suddenly, even though this child was different from others, it was still her favorite child.
The woman said goodbye to the other elders, left the hatchery with the young child in her arms, and returned to her cave and their home.
Looking at Axiu's leaving figure, the few people left behind had complicated expressions.
"Aweng. That child is a white child. He was born with weak demon power and no inheritance. He is a shame among the Phoenix clan. If this news spreads, I am afraid that our Yue family will become a laughing stock. Such evil obstacles should not be left in the first place. "The man who called Yun'er became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he wanted to kill Ning Xia immediately.
"Pah." The man who was slapped hard looked at the middle-aged man in disbelief.
"I am so disappointed in you." The middle-aged man looked at the child he had grown up with sadly. He couldn't believe that the beast in front of him who said he wanted to kill his nephew was his most beloved child.
"It is your eldest brother's bloodline. Yong'er is running for you and the clan outside, but you want to kill his son. How can you be worthy of him?"
Xi Yun wanted to say that the eldest brother had the family's best interests at heart. If the eldest brother knew about it, he would definitely support his actions. But seeing Aweng's increasingly gloomy expression, he swallowed his words.
"How did you become like this? You were so transparent and clean when you were young, but now you are like this. It really makes you go back in time as you live. It is my biggest regret to allow those idiots to take you away."
"Aweng! How can you talk about my father and mother like this? My father is your child." Xi Yun cried out.
"I would rather never have had such a rebellious son."
The middle-aged man waved his hand tiredly, stopping Xi Yun who wanted to speak: "That's it. Don't mention this matter again. You can go back. I don't want to see you for the time being."
In the end, Xi Yun reluctantly left the hatchery.
"It's all my fault that I gave him to that treacherous couple and harmed him." The middle-aged man's eyes were sad, and he felt sad in his heart as he watched the child who was really getting further and further away from him.
Can not go back.
"Aweng..." The handsome young man who had been watching the farce in front of him in silence didn't know how to comfort him.
"It goes without saying, I understand."
"Let's talk about something else. Have your sister-in-law made arrangements?"
"Arrangements have been made for the grandson. The additional servants will report to the eldest brother's cave today. Other supplies and other matters have been ordered."
"Okay, okay. Don't neglect the mother and son. No one should be missing what they should have. Give me a good restraint on the people below. Don't let your elder brother feel cold. After all-"
"...That child was a sacrifice made for the family." Aweng murmured. I just don’t know who the “child” in that sentence refers to?
