“Cute Baby!” Feng Wu was surprised to see him because he managed to get out of her space ring on his own.
This kind of thing had never happened before.
The poopy colored guy was the ancient rui beast Feng Wu got at auction.

She’d been calling him Cute Baby from the start, but come to find out, his name really was Cute Baby.
He had regained his normal appearance after she used Xiao Chun to purify the demonic energy surrounding him.

“Is that your pet?” Zo asked.
The little guy did not look cute to him.

But wait.
Puppy-like appearance with eggshell cap. . .  wasn’t this the rui beast Zi Cheng was supposed to get? And it already hatched.
How fast!

He remembered Zi Cheng’s friend saying the rui beast needed an entire year of incubation to hatch.
How did it end up hatching so fast when Feng Wu got it?

Did she have special hatching techniques?!

The Feng Wu who is suspected of having special hatching skills: . . . 

In fact, Zi Cheng knew the egg wasn’t an egg that needed to be hatched, but a rui beast that had returned to its nascent form because of a severe injury.

Ruis were born covered with a thick layer of energy miasma that acted like a protective eggshell against the outside world.
They would leave the protected stage once they got older, but returned to it whenever they were in mortal danger.

In the previous iteration, Zi Cheng had used her points to buy a bottle of Advanced Purification liquid.
The medicine not only purified the demonic miasma, it also wiped out the rui’s memory.
So in a sense Zi Cheng killed the original rui.
She then formed a contract with the newly born rui without much effort.

The newly born rui was loyal to her because it had been born from a pill inside her system.[notes] The idea of resisting or revolting never entered its mind.

Zi Cheng didn’t share this with anyone, not even those she’d reached 100% favorability with.
It was her biggest secret; even the male protagonist didn’t know.
He never suspected and just assumed she had some kind of powerful specialization.

Rui Baby had been sleeping in Feng Wu’s ring since he’d been healed.
He slept for three days only to awake in such a rotten and inauspicious place.

He was upset! How could she bring him to such a place without his permission?!

“You’re a pet! Your whole family’s a pet!” Rui Baby blew up when he heard that.
He would have stood up if the eggshell hadn’t been covering his head.

“Don’t make trouble.” Feng Wu touched the eggshell on his head.
The little guy immediately rubbed up against her hand, comforted.

Zo stared in amazement at the scene.
He was certain the rui beast from his world wasn’t close to anyone other than Zi Cheng.
That rui was also pretty stupid; this one was a tsundere.
Were they really the same beast?

Well of course they weren’t the same.

“Hey now.
I only slept for three days.
Why did you came to this kind of place, so much miasma, even the path is cloudy.
How many are going to die? Did you enter a demon grave?!” Rui Baby looked at Feng Wu in disappointment for not living up to expectations.

“This is a god’s tomb.” Feng Wu corrected him.

“How does this look like the tomb of any god?! I’ve seen plenty of god tombs!”

“This is a god’s tomb.
It’s the innate god the Sea emperor,” said Zo.

“That guy?! Why’d you come into his tomb for? That guy’s notorious for being petty.
Any other god’s tomb, and you can probably make it to the second or third level alive.
But that guy? He won’t leave any opportunities for anyone to grab his treasures.
No wonder this place is so thick with miasma.
It’s totally that guy’s style.” Rui Baby nodded upon realizing the truth.

“What is that?”

“A pug?”

“A pug? Is there such a beast?”

“If we’re talking about pugs, then they’re common enough for people to raise at home as pets to look after the house.”

“Wow, your pug can fly.
And he even has an eggshell on his head!”

“I don’t think that’s a pug.
I think it’s an egg pug.”

“What’s an egg pug?”

“Could it be a hybrid between a pug and an egg?!”

“Shoot, no way! This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of crossbreed!”

The crowd pointed excitedly at the puppy-like creature with the eggshell on its head.

“This little guy can talk, so his level can’t be low.”

“Nah, that’s no big deal.
Just use a little bit of spiritual potion and any pet can talk, never mind a beast.”

“That’s true.”

Zo: Have you all forgotten something?

“You fish lip mortals.” Rui Baby had a proud look as he snorted disdainfully at the group of humans, the display meant to show he was a bigshot who knew a bunch of god-level beasts.
He was far more knowledgeable than any human.

“Never mind all that.
We still have to get inside.”

They were there to find treasure, not gossip about some baby-bird-dog-egg thing.
Priorities! The group remembered they were trying to get into the cave up ahead.

“Right! We were about to enter that cave.”

“Almost forgot, we’re here for business.
Good thing you reminded me! Thanks!”

Others also thanked the guy for his reminder.
This didn’t necessarily make the guy happy though.
Reminder? He just didn’t think he could beat the big boss inside on his own.
Otherwise why would he bother reminding them?!

After getting their act together, everyone moved forward into the cave to scout out the situation.

Feng Wu held Zo’s hand while on her head a pug-egg used her hair as a nest. .
