BXBX NOVEL Chapter 440 Eliminate the Danger
Ace’s heart raced to hear this and looked at the static egg with incredulity. ‘A beast egg that is not from the first heaven? How did it come here, and how did the blade demon tribe get their hands on it?
‘Furthermore, this bird’s bloodline and rank is above ninth grade, and it can control law like [Nether Fire] in its adulthood which sounds ghastly, just what kind of existence can control a law? I can even hatch it with my HD-Qi!’
Ace was still somewhat baffled by this tremendous discovery and asked, “System, is this also a creature of darkness? And why can it be stored in a storage ring despite being a living being?”
Ace witnessed Greysen taking this egg out of his storage ring and anything alive won’t store in a storage ring, and this will also draw the demon king’s attention, and it won’t be laying in his hand right now if that would’ve happened.
”[Yes, this is a creature of darkness. As for why it can be stored in a storage ring, despite being a living thing, it’s because of the Pseudo-Dead state.]
”[Because of this state, it’s almost impossible to identify a nether paradise bird egg from a Nether Flame Alloy, which is also ranked above ninth grade and this egg can also imitate the same ability of a nether shield of nether flame alloy.]
”[Not only that, but this state can also make it fool the natural order, and it can be stored in a typical storage ring. As long as the egg didn’t encounter something higher rank than itself, it won’t break no matter how much force it encountered.]
”[That’s how nether paradise bird survived from its natural predators as well.]”
“It’s that awesome?” Ace exclaimed as he looked at the jade-like egg in his hand with ecstasy. He picked up a treasure this time!
‘It seemed the blade demon tribe has come in contact with it unknowingly, and they merely thought of it as a defensive treasure and stashed it away. I wonder if the demon king found out about its true value, he might have died from regret.’ Ace grinned passionately.
Suddenly his eyes shimmer with understanding, ‘Could it be that alchemist somehow got his hands on an ancient record that describes the nether flame alloy, and he also thought they were the same?
‘It’s very possible, and he might want to use it to forge a strong treasure. Heh, you wanted to cheat me? Dream on!’ Ace snorted with ridicule.
However, his complacent expression fell suddenly, ‘No, if I didn’t hand it over he might start to spread the information about the nether flame alloy, won’t everyone look for me at that time?
‘Even the royal zone might get interested if they know about the nether flame alloy’s rank. Although it’s not true, will they believe me? I have to hand it over at that time. Or if that alchemist told someone with selfish thoughts, they might even want to kill me to keep my mouth shut. Fuck!’
Ace suddenly felt this egg was a hot potato right now, and if he didn’t play it well, he might have to discard Feng’s identity ahead of time.
Furthermore, he had to discard it in the right way. He can’t let anyone know that Feng was the wanted thief all along. Not only people around Feng will suffer a tragic fate, but this will also cause a tremendous storm because this would mean the Sky Stealer can fool the loyalty contracts of the royal demon council!
At that time, there won’t just one person from the royal zone after him, and he might alert the Demon Emperor. His heart fluttered just thinking about it because he can’t hide from the Demon Emperor and only run!
‘I have to kill him and anyone who knows of this!’ Ace’s emit killing intent like never before.
Because he didn’t want to give away such a precious beast that can control law, it was by far the most precious treasure he got besides the Eternal Thief Fate Compass.
“System, how much Qi did this egg need before it hatched?” Ace asked.
”[Host can store it in the Living Thief’s Space. It’ll solve the environmental problem and pour the Heavenly Darkness Qi once every three days. It will take 1000 Days like this to hatch it.]”
“Just like that, huh?” Ace couldn’t help but smile ear to ear. He never thought he would get a pet with such a background.
However, if he knew the nether spirit magma was one of the rarest treasures even in higher heaven that it can cause a huge war, no one knows what he thought.
It was just that his thief’s space and heavenly darkness Qi were omnipotent to nurture creatures of darkness without any external help.
So, in anyone else’s hand, this egg was just a beautiful stone, nothing else, and they can’t harm it either, even if they want to melt it into a treasure.
Ace quickly did as the system suggested and poured his heavenly darkness Qi into the egg. First, it trembled for a while before Ace felt a suction force that started to devour his Qi like a bottomless pit.
However, this only made Ace more elated, and he poured the HD-Qi at the full capacity he could muster. But he was soon shocked when he found out that no matter how much he poured, this little egg just won’t seem to get full.
After four hours, Ace stopped his Qi, which was almost sucked dry by this little egg, but he looked delighted, then exhausted.
Thereafter, he put the egg close to Eva’s cocoon and recovered his depleted Qi.
‘How should I deal with that floor manager and that woman? Oh, with her here, why I’m even agonizing over it?’ Ace’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he opened the Thief House Panel.

Inside a beautiful field filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs, the air was filled with high-quality Qi and the aroma of herbs. Just by breathing here, one could feel their cultivation growing.
At this moment, a breathtakingly beautiful demoness was carefully tending to the herbs when her body quivered slightly.
“What happened, little girl?” An old benevolent voice sounded at this moment.
The demoness turned around and looked at the fossil-like old demon sitting cross-legged on a platform in the center of this herb field and smiling mildly at her.
She said attentively, “Master, I want to go outside to look around the blade domain, can I?”
The old man seemed surprised by this abrupt request. “Oh, when that brat invites you for a tour, you seemed completely uninterested and always focused on alchemy. What made my austere disciple want to go outside?”
The demoness pouted. “That fellow is so annoying. I don’t want to go with him, and master, I’m not austere!”
“Hahaha, go enjoy yourself. We alchemists shouldn’t just obsess with alchemy and enjoy it once in a while. It’s good for our mentality. Besides, you’ve already improved so much. I’m afraid you might scare those old codgers in the upcoming alchemy meeting in a year.” The old demon said with a gratified expression.
“All thanks to master’s teaching.” The demoness smiled full of gratefulness toward this old man.
“Haha, don’t flatter me. I won’t go easy on you!” The old man smirked, but he was thrilled. “Go, if you need any spending money, ask Samuel or if anyone bullies you, just tell me I’ll seek justice for you.”
“Thank you, master.” The demoness quickly bowed respectfully and left the herb field.
The old man sent her off with his elated eyes before he took out a green cube, and it flushed. A cold sounded from the cube. “Your order, master?”
“Lana has gone out, protect her from shadows, don’t take action if she’s not in danger.” The old man impassively said.
“As your bidding, master.”
With that, the cube went dormant again.
“Hmph, those bastards wanted to court my precious disciple? No one is worthy!” The old man snorted with disdain.
The demoness was sauntering toward the exit while deep in thought as she looked into the air.

The demoness’s eyes shone with ambiguity. ‘How did those two provoke the leader, or did they discover something they shouldn’t have? Well, since you offend him, you two can forget about living.’
Her cherry lips curled into a charming smile, which was more like the smile of a ruthless assassin!
