Chapter 152: Chapter 152: An’an Is the Younger Sister

Meanwhile, on the Dragon Clan’s Suspended Island.

A golden flower swiftly closed, and when it bloomed again, a glittering golden egg lay inside.

The Beastman on duty was just about to pick it up when the Golden Egg started to roll. It rolled and rolled right out of the flowerbed, heading east.

"Little Fu, don’t run off!"

The island was covered in rocks. What if it got bumped or cracked?

The Golden Egg ignored them, rolling determinedly forward at a surprisingly fast pace.

The flowerbed couldn’t be left unguarded, so one Beastman stayed put while the other chased after the Golden Egg.

The Golden Egg rolled all the way to the Imprisonment Cave before finally stopping.

The guard had just breathed a sigh of relief when the Golden Egg backed up two steps, then rammed into the stone door with all its might!

"!!!"

"No!!!"

He threw his arms around the Golden Egg, his heart still pounding with fear. "Kiddo, you can’t do that!"

’A pup’s shell is tough, but not tough enough for this!’

The Golden Egg struggled to get free, but it wasn’t strong enough. It could only squirm and twist in the Beastman’s arms.

The guard glanced at the Imprisonment Cave and guessed, "Zaizai, do you want to go inside?"

The Golden Egg immediately stopped moving and grew quiet.

"So that’s it," he said, relieved. "You stay put, and I’ll take you to the Clan Leader. No, wait, the Clan Leader isn’t here."

"I’ll take you to the Great Elder. He’s the one with the key to the Imprisonment Cave."

The Golden Egg rocked back and forth once, as if nodding.

Inside, Ao Wu was listening to the commotion. When he faintly heard the words "Clan Leader" and "key," he became ecstatic.

’Finally, I can finally get out!’

’I’m about to grow mold in here!’

When the guard carried the Golden Egg to find the Great Elder, Ao Si was there, with Da Hu and Xiao Hu sitting beside him.

Ever since Da Hu and Xiao Hu had regained their memories, Ao Si had confirmed that the "Beast Father Ao Wu" they spoke of was his younger brother, Ao Wu. He had then asked the Great Elder to send out search parties.

His little sister’s matter had to be kept secret, but his brother’s didn’t. Everyone on the Beast God Continent knew the Dragon Clan had once lost a young master.

But every day he asked, the answer was always the same: they hadn’t found him.

The Great Elder comforted him, "Don’t be anxious. Xiao Wu is so clever and has such high spiritual power. He’ll be fine."

"As for these two Zaizai, although they aren’t Xiao Wu’s biological pups, they call him ’Beast Father,’ which makes them part of the Dragon Clan."

"As for their Female Mother and other siblings," the Great Elder stroked his beard and shook his head, "there’s no news about them either."

Yu An had been sent to the Beastman Continent not long after she hatched. Her name was given to her on the spot by Yu Huang. Besides Yu Huang and a few people from the Invincible Alliance, no one on the Beast God Continent knew of her.

Disappointment showed on Da Hu’s face, but he quickly pulled himself together. "Thank you, Elder."

"Good child," the Great Elder patted his shoulder. "Don’t worry, I’ll send more people to search."

Just as Ao Si was about to take them back, he ran into the Beastman carrying the Golden Egg.

The Beastman could clearly feel the Golden Egg growing excited. If he hadn’t been holding it down, it would have already jumped out of his arms.

"Settle down, settle down. Be good, now. We’ll take you to the Imprisonment Cave right away."

Ao Si was puzzled. "Is this a newborn Zaizai? What’s it going to the Imprisonment Cave for?"

The Beastman explained everything from beginning to end. The Great Elder chuckled. "Since our Fuzai is requesting it, let’s go have a look."

"Thank you, Great Elder... Hey, hey, hey, stop moving..."

The Golden Egg’s struggles grew stronger, and the Beastman could barely hold on. It was Ao Si who stepped in to help him.

Ao Si looked at Da Hu and Xiao Hu, then at the Golden Egg. "Why do I get the feeling Fuzai is trying to find Da Hu and Xiao Hu?"

As soon as he said this, the Golden Egg stopped moving.

The Beastman was dumbfounded. "So it really was looking for these two Zaizai?"

"That’s right! I remember Fuzai sent them flowers before it was even born."

He tentatively handed the Golden Egg over. Da Hu looked confused for a moment, but the instant he touched the shell, he felt a familiar yet strange aura.

Xiao Hu touched it too, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Brother, it’s the aura of our Female Mother!"

’That’s it, the familiar feeling is our Female Mother’s aura!’

’As for the strangeness,’ Da Hu thought, ’it’s probably because we have the same mother but different fathers. The Golden Egg is a Dragon Pup, so the strange aura must be from Beast Father Ao Wu!’

Ao Si’s mind raced. "Wait, this is Xiao Wu’s Zaizai?!"

’No wonder no one from the clan claimed it.’

"Pups have a connection with their parents. Maybe the one in the Imprisonment Cave is..."

Realizing this possibility, Ao Si didn’t hesitate. He grabbed the three Zaizai, pulled the Great Elder along, and broke into a run.

’Little bro, your big brother is here to save you!’

’I hope you haven’t starved to death in the Imprisonment Cave...’

Having waited anxiously for a very, very long time, with every second feeling like a year, Ao Wu was beside himself with excitement when he finally heard footsteps again.

With a heavy THUD, long-missed sunlight streamed in. Ao Wu was on the verge of tears!

Before he could start crying, four figures—one large and three small—pounced on him.

"Beast Father Ao Wu!"

"Little bro!"

"..."

The weight of one adult and three little ones was nothing to sneeze at. Ao Wu was knocked straight to the ground. Upon seeing the familiar Zaizai, he scrambled back to his feet.

"Da Hu! Xiao Hu! What are you doing here? Are you hurt? Quick, let your Beast Father see..."

He might squabble and fight with those other four, but no matter whose pup it was, they were all Yu An’s children—everyone’s children—and he cared for them all dearly.

Seeing that the two little ones had rosy cheeks and didn’t look like they had suffered, he was finally able to relax.

Ao Si raised his hand. "Hey, Xiao Wu, you’ve got a brother here too, you know."

The Golden Egg hopped twice, as if to say there was another Zaizai present.

It had been a long time since he’d seen his family, and of course Ao Wu had missed them, but he didn’t need to get all sappy to show his excitement with his fourth brother.

"I see you, I see you! I’m not blind. Fourth Brother, it’s been a few years. You’ve gotten uglier."

Ao Si was not amused. "You little punk!"

"By the way, this egg is..."

Seeing its Beast Father finally turn his attention to it, the Golden Egg unexpectedly jumped into Ao Si’s arms and ignored Ao Wu.

"Your Zaizai," Ao Si said with a grin, "but it looks like it’s mine now."

Ao Wu froze for a second. Seeing this, the Great Elder quickly explained the Dragon Clan’s method of producing offspring, and understanding finally dawned on him.

Ao Si gloated, "I knew you never paid attention in your lessons. Well, look now, your own Zaizai doesn’t recognize you, its biological Beast Father~"

"Fourth Brother," Ao Wu said menacingly, "are you looking for a fight?"

Ao Si’s smile vanished in an instant. He shoved the Golden Egg back into Ao Wu’s arms. "Here, here. Don’t be so stingy."

Ao Wu hadn’t eaten in a long time. He ate while listening to Ao Si talk, with Da Hu and Xiao Hu occasionally adding a few words.

The Golden Egg only threw a small tantrum before quietly settling down to listen to the adults speak. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"There’s still no news about your Female Master and her other two Zaizai. The Great Elder is sending people to search farther out."

"Beast Father got word that our Female Mother is supposedly heading to Tianyang City. He’s been gone for a while now."

"Oh, right, and Little Sister! Little Sister is back, but I lost track of her. Big Brother and the others are looking for her now..."

Ao Wu listened while he ate, but suddenly, he sensed that something was wrong.

"Wait," he said with a frown. "Fourth Brother, you don’t know that An’an *is* Little Sister?"
