I looked around with shock, not understanding where the egg had gone to. It just disappeared into thin air! Where did it go?
"Feng'er! What happened here? Are you okay?" I heard Liu Qian's voice behind me. I turned around and looked at him. They were clearly worried.
"What happened father?" I asked, trying to keep the most innocent and naive face that I could without laughing.
"Something happened here. All the elders felt a powerful presence here. A monster presence. There might be a monster king here, and that monster king certainly is powerful. An existence of that level shouldn't exist in the city. I don't understand what happened. Are you okay though?" he asked, clearly worried about me.
"Nothing happened to me, father. You might have sensed something else because I was just resting. I am very tired from the match that I had earlier today, so I am resting for the entire day." I cooked up a story.
"That is okay. You should rest. You have done well. Very well." he nodded as he turned around to leave the room.
"It shouldn't be from here. I could sense no residual presence of the pressure from here. It might be from another source. Check every corner of the house. I need to know if my family is in danger, and I need to know before I go to sleep at night!" Liu Qian barked outside.
I looked at this and shook my head. I did all of this, and I had no idea where the egg even was. Was this all worth it? Maybe I would know if I had the goddamn egg!
Ping!
"System suggests Host to run a check inside the body. The egg is probably incubating next to the dantian. It is a safe place for the egg to gain Qi to supplement itself. The egg has already accepted Host as a safe ally and is trusting enough to enter your [Error]. Information is above User authority. Please level up to learn more."
With a hurry, I ran Qi throughout my body. Nothing felt wrong, until all the Qi started being sucked in like a black hole right next to my dantian. I could sense it. It was the egg. There was something inside of me!
I took a few deep breaths. If I freaked out now, then everyone outside who was looking for the mess that I created would come back here and I would be in more trouble. I needed to calm myself and figure out what my next steps are going to be.
I laid on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
"Just what am I going to do now? I did not need this complication now of all times? Is this going to screw me over for the martial gathering now? Am I going to lose? With this egg taking all of my Qi right now, will I be able to hold any Qi at all? This is too much for me to handle. I need to go somewhere to relax or something. I need to clear my head. I should go to some sauna or something to clear my head for now." I told myself as I headed out.
I looked outside my room. There were men at every corner, going through every single part of the courtyard. In such a place, even if I wanted to relax, I would not be able to. I headed out.
"Where are you going, Feng'er? It is dangerous. No one knows who caused this. You should not go out at such an important and delicate time." Liu Qian stopped me.
"But father, if this person wanted to harm me, then I would probably already be dead. You said that you got this pressure at the house. But I was in the house and there was no one here. This person had the best opportunity to cause me harm, and didn't. I am going to be fine. All I am going to do is go for a little stress release." I said.
"What did you just say? You are going for a stress release? Just when I thought that you were going to change, you are going to do the same stupid things again. I will break your legs and drag you home if you say such stupid things again. Come back!" Liu Qian barked at me.
I looked at him with confusion.
"What is wrong with going to a sauna, father? I am just going to relax a little. Things have been a little difficult for me." I said, stating the obvious. freewebnovel.c(o)m
"You are going to the sauna? That is what you meant?" Liu Qian laughed sheepishly.
"You can go then. You can go. I must have misunderstood you." he said, turning around immediately. I looked around, and the men were also looking away from me. It was suspicious.
"Where did you think I was even going?" I asked.
"Well, you know. The same place that you used to go before, you know, the whole missing fiasco." Liu Qian said, stuttering.
"Wait a minute! He thought that I was going to the brothel? What the hell is wrong with the body that the system gave me? Only giving me troubles. This is so irritating!" I shouted inside. I could no longer show my face here anymore. I quickened my pace and left the courtyard, heading over to the city.
I stopped at the guards.
"Where is the city's sauna?" I asked.
"Young master, the family has its own bath, if that is what you are asking for." the guards said.
"I do not want to be here. Every single person looking at me with weird eyes. I would rather go elsewhere, and be more comfortable when everyone is not looking at me." I said, shaking my head.
"It is next to the..." the guard gave me the directions, and also said that there was no need for me to stay with the peasants. Apparently, there was a room reserved for the elite, and that was where I should go. I also agreed with him. I also wanted to meet others who came from similar backgrounds. I wanted to see how they behaved, and what the normals were for them.
