32 Baby's Name is not Gigantic Egg

Elder Meru saw the calmness in her eyes. After she heard about the power of the spiritual being, she was not elated due to greed but was guarded and calm. With this, he was more comforted. "I'm going to disappear very soon. He Xi, child, you must remember: before you have sufficient power, you can't let anyone know of the spiritual being's existence. If not, this would not only be your disaster but also the greedy people's misfortune. You must remember this!"

Once he finished his sentence, the original pale figure started fading away, turning into spots of silver light. Finally, he disappeared from the empty room.

"Wait! What secret does the spiritual being hide?"

Why did he say she could not let anyone know of the spiritual being's existence? When Elder Meru mentioned the powers of the space, he did not say that He Xi had to keep it a secret, which further proved how mighty and unique the spiritual being was.

"What do you exactly want me to do by giving me this?"

However, the only thing that answered her was an empty echo and the gigantic egg's cries.

"Grandpa Meru disappeared. Wuwu… Mother, Baby can feel that Grandpa Meru will never return…"

When He Xi was about to ask further, she suddenly felt a slight throb in her head.

Following this, she felt her connection with the space growing stronger. Even though she was standing in the room, she could clearly feel what was happening in every inch of the space outside.

After He Xi was shocked for some time, she recovered her senses and touched the gigantic egg that was crying sadly. Then, she sighed. "There, don't cry. There will always be separations and partings in life. You're just an egg; why are you still so emotional?"

When the gigantic egg felt her touch, it stopped crying but protested loudly, "Baby's name is not gigantic egg. Gigantic egg doesn't sound nice at all."

He Xi's face darkened. Even an egg minds how nice its name sounds. "Then, what do you want to be called?"

The gigantic egg's voice was filled with confusion and expectations. "Um… um, I don't know what I want to be called, but shouldn't it be Mother who names me?"

The soft voice was obedient and shy; He Xi seemingly saw a round and chubby child who was awkwardly holding the end of her shirt and looking at her expectantly.

He Xi was tickled by her imagination and could not help but to tease, "Hm, since you don't like the name gigantic egg, then should I call you Eggy, Roundy… Rollie?"

"Mother, you're so mean. Baby is not round and does not roll around. Baby doesn't want such an ugly name. Wuwuwu…"

The gigantic egg cried even more sadly. He Xi was caught between laughter and tears and could only give in. "Okay then, I shall reconsider this. Before I think of a new name, I'll call you by your nickname, Eggy. Is this alright?"

Eggy had no choice and could only agree grudgingly. However, it still reminded He Xi. "Mother needs to give Baby a name as soon as possible!"

He Xi touched her forehead. "Can you not call me 'Mother'?" Heavens knew that she was only sixteen-years-old and was a beautiful, young girl. How could she be someone else's mother for no reason, let alone an egg's mother?

"But you're clearly my Mother." Eggy's voice was filled with shock and sadness and cried a hundred times more pitifully than she did previously. "Mother, do you not want me anymore? Wuwuwu… what did Baby do wrong? I can change!"

The veins in He Xi's head throbbed, and her head started hurting from her cries. In the end, she could only opt for the vicious cycle. "Okay, okay, don't cry. Since when did I say I didn't want you anymore? If you like to call me that, then do as you wish!"
