Just thinking about it made Xiao Chen swallow hard. SWISSHHH... "Damn, you can really fly on your own!" Xiao Chen exclaimed in surprise as he watched the eggs fly away on their own. The head of the Lou family also smiled and shook his head. If he was right, then this was the egg his father had mentioned in his message.
