This was the first time the Nine Dragon Ring had stirred since Wu Tian returned to the city. He handed the little one to Qin Yuhan and left the kitchen.
"What's gotten into him?" Xia Yumeng wondered aloud.
"Who knows." Qin Yuhan shook her head, indicating she had no idea.
Wu Tian returned to his room and shut the door. He extended a finger, injecting his Spiritual Power into the Nine Dragon Ring. Finally, an egg emerged from the ring and appeared before him.
CRACK.
The eggshell split open.
"AWOOF..."
A sound like a puppy's bark echoed out, but it was far more robust and powerful, a sound in a league of its own. A small creature crawled out of the egg. It was tiny yet agile, and it dashed toward Wu Tian the moment it emerged.
Wu Tian remained calm, standing perfectly still.
The small creature leaped onto his shoulder, then extended its tongue and affectionately licked his neck.
