Volume 1: Gathering Winds of Splendor Chapter 3: The Egg Snatching Storm

  An Xin and Liu Xuan walked towards the small woods on the mountain, Liu Xuan chattered non-stop all the way. He talked about how his neighbor's boar went to mate with another family's sow today, but unfortunately, the sow was too ugly, so the boar didn't mate and ran back home instead. Then he said that he made a slingshot and shot at someone else's window paper, but accidentally hit someone on the head, causing a big bump. He got scared, dropped the slingshot, and ran away quickly without picking it up.

  She's old enough to be his mother, with her two lifetimes combined, and yet she still has to discuss these trivial matters with him.

  When she first came over, not wanting to show herself as too mature and standing out too much, she had no choice but to force herself to learn from the kids of that age, digging bird nests, playing water guns, and doing all sorts of naughty things. She didn't do any less of those things, possibly because in her past life as a child, she was always training and never had a normal childhood. Later on, she became more and more addicted to it, without anyone else egging her on, she would start looking for trouble on her own. One day, she would poke holes in someone's window paper, the next day, she would put a dead snake in the clothes of the little boy next door.

  To the point where all the other kids in the village, except for Liu Xuan, would take a detour whenever they saw her and shout loudly, "The little witch from An Dama's family is here, everyone run!" Her mother was also helpless about her mischievous nature, often taking her around to apologize to other families in the village. Fortunately, the villagers were kind-hearted and knew that children could be naughty, so they didn't take it to heart.

  Even the most fun things get boring after five years, and this body of hers is already 10 years old. In ancient times, girls developed earlier, and her figure has already taken shape, with a height of over 1.5 meters. In her previous life, she was still a small bean sprout at the age of 10.

  He smiled and chuckled as he occasionally chimed in with his silly laughter, the two of them chatting as they walked into the small woods.

  "Don't worry, we're here. Look at this big tree, there's a bird's nest up there, let's go get it." Liu Xuan led her to the front of a large tree and excitedly pointed to a bird's nest on the branch above.

  Looking at his drooling face, An Xin pouted and looked at him with disdain, "You go up first, I'll catch it for you." Today's clothes were newly made by her mother, if they got a little scratched, she would definitely get a few hits from the bamboo shoots.

  Liu Xuan nodded, his dark face full of joy. With a flick of his sleeve, he grasped the tree trunk with both hands and clamped his thighs tightly around it. "Swoosh" a few times and he climbed up to the bird's nest. Seeing how quickly he scampered up the tree, An Xin knew that he hadn't stopped climbing trees all these years, and his skills had become even more refined.

  "Don't worry, there are 8 bird eggs! We're in luck!" Liu Xuan looked at the nest and turned to shout loudly to An Xin below the tree.

  Anxin blinked his eyelids calmly and didn't say a word. He really wanted to kick him. When had he ever seen her eat bird eggs?

  "Alright, next one, I'm going to drop a bird's egg down!" that foolish guy shouted again.

  "Alright, drop it down. Hurry up and catch the bird egg, let this guy quickly go home to cook eggs to eat, don't come out again to harm himself."

  Liu Xuan had one hand grasping a branch and the other hand holding four bird eggs, just about to throw them down.

  Just as Liu Xuan was about to throw the bird's egg into An Xin's hands, an eagle flew over, its round eyes flashing with ferocity. Seeing someone stealing its eggs, it charged without saying a word. Of course, it couldn't speak either. The eagle pecked at Liu Xuan's big hand, making him cry out in pain, and he loosened his grip on the tree branch. As a result, he fell onto An Xin's body with a thud. At that moment, An Xin was busy catching the egg, but didn't notice and got knocked to the ground with a "thud". The bird's egg in her hand naturally broke, covering her hand with sticky egg liquid.

  The eagle saw the egg was broken, flew down and pecked at Liu Xuan with all its might, also conveniently pecking An Xin a few times. The eagle's beak was extremely hard, and the force of its pecks was very strong. Instantly, two small bumps appeared on An Xin's head, and she gritted her teeth in pain. At this moment, she had the heart to kill Liu Xuan. Can't the eagle tell apart its own egg from a small bird's egg?

  "Take it easy, run fast, the eagle is crazy!" Liu Xuan covered his head with one hand and pulled An Xin to run out of the small woods quickly.

  They ran all the way to a small river before some mad eagles finally stopped their pursuit.

  "Hah...hah." Liu Xuan panted heavily and said with a gasp, "Don't worry, fortunately we ran fast."

  An Xin yanked her hand out of Liu Xuan's grasp, looked down at her mud-stained new clothes and felt like crying. It seemed she couldn't avoid the slap today. Looking at the culprit standing in front of her, An Xin was furious and scolded, "You numbskull! Your brain can't keep up with the progress of the new humans, that's one thing, but are your eyes also made of titanium alloy? Can't you even tell the difference between an eagle's egg and a sparrow's egg? What kind of experience did you gain from digging out nests all these years?"

  Liu Xuan was scolded and stood there stupidly for a while, then slowly opened his mouth to say, "I think this bird egg is big, I've never seen it before, it must be very delicious." After finishing speaking, he also let out a dry laugh.

  Anxious and angry, she almost fainted, it turned out that he also knew the egg was not a bird's egg, but in order to satisfy his gluttony, he had dragged her into this mess as well.

  Don't want to talk to this brainless person anymore, feeling the stickiness in my hands, I feel a bit nauseous, so I quickly walk to the riverbank and squat down to wash my hands.

  Liu Xuan hastily followed, seeing the serene and beautiful face appearing and disappearing in the clear small river, for a moment looking a bit dazed, murmuring, "An Xin, you're really good-looking."

  An Xin, who was washing his hands, suddenly heard this and his anger had not dissipated. He waved his hand to splash water, and the reflection in the water disappeared instantly. Liu Xuan came back to his senses and stared at An Xin, speechless.

  "Alright, today's Eagle Flying and Egg Smashing is over, let's each go back to our own homes and find our own mothers." Anxin said as he stood up after washing his hands.

  After finishing speaking, An Xin patted the mud on his body, waved his hand to Liu Xuan who was still in a daze, and turned to walk towards the small road back home.

  "Don't worry, I'll find you again in two days." Liu Xuan's voice came from afar.

  I'm warning you, it's best if you don't come looking for me these days, or else I'll have a hard time suppressing the urge to give you a good thrashing.
