Chapter 773 The baby dragonfish hatches!
Yu Zhizhi looked over nervously!
The cracks started spreading from the top of the eggshell.
The crimson fragments peeled off one by one, each lingering in the air for a moment as it fell, with tiny golden flames igniting at its edges.
The Duke also came to the incubator.
His golden vertical pupils reflected the ever-widening crack.
The red light of the runes emanated from inside the eggshell, bathing the entire incubator in a deep, flowing crimson hue.
A tiny claw peeked out from the crack.
The nails were transparent, and the paw pads were a pale pink. They were still damp, as if they hadn't yet been exposed to air. The paw dazedly clawed at the air, then rested on the edge of the eggshell and gently pushed—
The eggshell cracked in two.
The cub was curled up in the middle of the broken shell, its body covered with a thin, transparent mucus.
Its body is deep red, almost exactly the same color as the eggshell, and it is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
Its tail is long and thin, with a slightly curled end, and the scales are soft and cling to its skin, not yet hardened.
Its eyes are closed.
The Duke reached out and gently peeled away the thin membrane covering the cub's eyes.
The cub's eyelids twitched, but it didn't open them. However, it tilted its head slightly in the direction he was pointing, as if searching for something.
Yu Zhizhi stood beside Bo Lan, her rabbit ears drooping, her fingers unconsciously gripping his sleeve.
The Duke did not look at her, but his hand emerged from his sleeve and gently covered her hand that was clutching his sleeve.
"Chirp..." The baby arowana chirped softly.
Yu Zhizhi tried to reach out and touch it.
The little dragonfish curled its tail tip, wrapping it around Yu Zhizhi's finger, and then fell silent. It was as if it had finally found something.
It slowly opened its eyes.
The pure gold, round pupils reflected the face of the little female rabbit.
The baby arowana was so happy, wagging its tail.
Yu Zhizhi saw its fiery red body, which resembled a carp, with two small, round, blunt dragon horns on its head.
She bent down and gently placed her palm on the cub's back.
The small, not-yet-completely-dried, deep red scale felt slightly warm in her palm, like a small piece of charcoal just taken out of the fire and still breathing.
The scales were so soft that she could feel the thin, throbbing blood vessel beneath them with her fingertips.
"Little one." Her voice was very soft, so soft that it seemed she was only speaking to it, with a slight nasal tone and a hint of dampness that she had just managed to suppress. "Welcome to this world."
"You must be safe and healthy." Yu Zhizhi took a deep breath, swallowed it down until her throat hurt, "You don't have to be very capable, you don't have to be very obedient, you don't have to become what anyone expects of you."
Her thumb gently stroked the cub's back, following the direction of the scales, again and again.
It's like flipping through a blank book, where no words have been written yet, and every page is waiting to be filled in.
"It can eat, sleep, and gain weight. It feels pain, cries, and acts cute. When it's scared, it hides; when it's sad, it talks about it; when it wants a hug, it reaches out—"
She paused, her fingertips lingering on the cub's back for a moment, her voice softening, "Mommy must be here."
The cub's tail tip slowly curled up and wrapped around her thumb.
The thin, deep red tail, as fine as silk, wrapped around her knuckles twice and tightened gently. It didn't hurt, but it made her nose tingle.
This is her prayer.
Because it was so straightforward, Noel couldn't help but look over.
The Duke lowered his gaze, looking at the little rabbit whose eyes were red with excitement as she held the baby dragonfish, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
Last time...
The last time I saw her praying for the cubs was two years ago.
He only glanced at it.
He was certain he would remember that glance for millennia.
The Duke reached out and gently touched the fiery red head of the baby dragonfish: "Remember, little one, I am your father."
The baby arowana let out a soft cry.
Its round, pure gold eyes, like the high priest's, had no pupils and curved into small crescent moons.
When it opened its eyes, the first person it saw was its mother. The second was its father.
mother.
Father.
The little dragonfish remembered it well.
Noel leaned against the wall and asked, "Have you decided on a name yet?"
On Beast Star.
The hatching ceremony of the cubs is very important, and this is the first time Noel has participated in such a secretive and private blessing ceremony.
All the audience members are here.
Yu Zhizhi nodded gently: "I've already decided, I'll name it Yunlan~"
Clouds refer to dragons.
It can fly into the clouds.
Lan refers to fish, which can venture deep into the ocean.
"Yunlan," Noel repeated the name, "It's a lovely name. This is the only dragonfish cub on Beast Planet. Grow up well and listen to your mother, okay?"
The black rabbit boy's voice carried a lazy laugh.
“However,” Noel suddenly thought of something and looked at the Duke, “I remember that, apart from Yu Meng, the other six snake cubs were all of the Yun generation.”
In the past, the white snake would have been abandoned by its kind.
So the elders didn't give it a name at all.
Who would have thought that the Duke would keep it?
And its mother finally cured it.
Little Amon is progressing very well.
Hearing what Nuoer said, Yu Zhizhi smiled a little shyly.
...Well, actually, this was also a consideration in choosing this name.
When she was naming the baby arowana, she couldn't help but think of the little snake, Yunze. She wondered how it was doing.
The Duke hummed in agreement. "Its name is similar to that of its brothers."
"By the way, does it have an awakened talent?"
Yu Zhizhi was very curious.
The Duke removed the thumb ring from his thumb and placed it above the incubator.
"This is a small talent testing device."
The jade thumb ring began to vibrate slightly.
About a minute later.
The Duke uttered two words softly: "Tides."
Yu Zhizhi murmured, "Tides...?"
Noel explained, "The power of the tides can activate water veins and sense all life and anomalies in the water. Its power reaches its peak during the full moon."
Sui Sui lies on the bubble wall, no longer reciting history.
Its tail tip no longer splashes water.
It rested quietly, like a blade of grass bent by the wind, not yet straightened, gently resting on the bottom of the bubble.
Her eyes were fixed on the new, small, deep red creature that her mother was still holding in her palm.
It buried its face in the bubble wall and mumbled, "Hmph, Yunlan."
Yu Zhizhi turned to look at it: "Sui Sui, come here~"
The little blue whale's eyes suddenly lit up, and it swam over happily.
Noel examined Xiao Yunlan's body: "It's a male cub. As for the other tests besides talent, it's still unclear."
Fortunately, [Tides] is a very good talent.
Sui Sui has already joined them.
It and the arowana stared at each other, both filled with curiosity.
See you tomorrow~
