BXBX NOVEL Chapter 63 part2
Baby muka
The collapsed area had all of a sudden been properly cleaned up. Aware of who had helped them, the adult mukas in the area approached Xie Luan.
Just like they had done earlier with the youth, these mukas now turned to the nox who stood next to him and expressed their gratitude and fondness of him.
This nox received kindness from more people and the mukas received help. Xie Luan was very glad to see this happen.
As the mukas had no hostility towards the nox race, Ya Yi continued to maintain his adult humanoid form the following days. Meanwhile, Xie Luan attentively took care of the eight eggs every day as he had done before. Conducting spiritual guidance, time passed quickly and the week went by fast.
It would be a long trip this time. Xie Luan occasionally sent back a message to the club during this period, reassuring them that they were safe and sound. While he was at it, he would also update them on his work progress on this planet.
Because of the condition of these eggs, Xie Luan felt that he still needed to stay on this planet for the time being. He was also concerned about the state of this planet.
"How does the baby feel today?" Lifting the egg up high several times, Xie Luan then once again held the egg in his arms and asked this in a warm voice.
Xie Luan was now able to confirm that it was not just his imagination, the egg in his arms really did move after he finished speaking.
The movement was still small, but it was undoubtedly a lot more obvious than it had been at the beginning.
After being taken care of for a week by Xie Luan, all eight eggs in the room were finally completely out of danger. Their life responses were no longer as weak as before and currently were at least relatively easy to detect.
Among the eight, the egg in Xie Luan’s arms was the one with the strongest life response. It could nearly be said to have at last been restored back to a normal level.
Feeling the egg respond to him, Xie Luan’s eyes slightly bent in a smile.
This egg was very energetic, it was not unexpected for it to be born a healthy cub. Xie Luan was naturally very happy about it.
He hoped that these eight cubs would all be healthy after they hatched.
Putting down the most energetic egg, Xie Luan picked up the remaining seven gray eggs one by one and completed today’s spiritual guidance.
It was not only the egg that he had first picked up that would move. Every egg after reacted to a varying degree when he called out to it with spiritual power, this matter was the most gratifying thing for Xie Luan
When he gently put all eight eggs back close to the wall and got ready to leave the room, the egg on the far left, that is to say, the first egg that Xie Luan had just picked up, wiggled restlessly at this time. It then moved, rolling towards Xie Luan in an extremely accurate direction.
Seeing the egg roll to his side, Xie Luan was stunned. He at last knew why he often woke up with an egg in his arms in the morning.
This egg was really energetic.
Xie Luan watched the egg obediently rest beside him after rolling over. Finally, he did not put it back next to the wall, but picked it up.
The egg had rolled over because it wanted to be held, Xie Luan could understand this much.
Being held in his arms, even though it was only an egg, Xie Luan could feel it move again. It was as if the egg was gently snuggling him.
[T/N: *whispering* ...cradle robber.]
"When I’m away, you can’t do what you just did. If you fall to the floor, you could get hurt."
Xie Luan was afraid that the egg would move around like this when he was not there. The bed had no protective guardrail and was not safe.
But the egg could most likely not understand this sentence. Xie Luan touched the eggshell and held this egg in his arms for a long time before putting it back in its original position.
This time, the egg obediently did not move again and Xie Luan left the room temporarily.
In the evening, Xie Luan simply took the initiative to sleep with the egg and the next morning, he was awoken by a nearby crisp "crack".
Xie Luan opened his eyes in a daze. His mind was not fully awake at this time, but when he heard a "ka" sound again and saw a clear crack on the gray egg in his arms, he was immediately wide awake.
As the cracks spread, a hole was opened up from the inside and a muka cub, not much difference in size from cubs of other races, found her way out from the egg.
Xie Luan had still not responded when this baby muka, who had just hatched and was still small, seemed to move forward to snuggle into his embrace.
This very small newborn who was snuggling the youth did not have much strength yet.
Holding this cub in his arms, Xie Luan was stunned for a while.
Lowering his head to look at the muka cub who could only rest in his embrace, Xie Luan suddenly had a novel feeling, but at the same time there was also a little regret.
When he came to this world, Nick was already six months old and a big baby.
If he had come earlier, there might have been a chance to hold him up like this.

Translator’s note:
I think Xie Luan might have died from cuteness for the first time. I could just picture his soul leaving his body as he was snuggled by the newborn cub.
Btw, I don’t know if we will get to hear the name of the cub, but what do you guys think would be a good name for her? Personally, I’m thinking Dawn.
