The cracks on the eggshell widened as a group of people gathered around it. Some even placed bets, guessing the zaizai's gender.
After about five minutes, the eggshell cracked completely open.
A pure-white wolf cub lay inside the broken shell, gazing at the crowd in a daze.
His gaze swept over each of their faces before finally settling on Yu An. "Female Mother," he called out in a sweet, childish voice.
Then he jumped out of the shell and into Yu An's arms.
Yu An kissed his forehead. "My good Zaizai."
After an inspection, his father, Han Li, solemnly announced, "He's a male zaizai."
Following the family's naming tradition, the little wolf cub was named "Little Wolf." Da Hu and the others gathered around their new little brother, looking at him with endless wonder.
Little Serpent was the happiest of all, because he wasn't the youngest anymore!
The Golden Egg still hadn't shown any movement, but Yu An had a feeling it would be any day now.
