Chapter 136: Chapter 136 - Egg
'Is that why you interrupted me right at the moment when I was about to cultivate?'
William became angry but he didn't show it on the outside as he smiled and said "Ohh. But right now I am busy so why don't you distu- play with yourself then?"
'I played with myself for a long time, master. Now I want to play with you.' Clawdia said as she laid down on the floor and looked at William with big eyes.
'If she were a human girl who knew exactly what she said right now.'
'But… how do I get rid of her now then. It's going to become very difficult for me if she were to stay here.'
The cultivation process might be interrupted, she might get scared if something strange happened during cultivation and who knows what other stuff might happen.'
'The real thing is, I need to get rid of her for at least a few hours. But how?'
William thought as he looked at the huge cat who was looking back at him while absentmindedly also looked at everything around her.
Then an idea formed in William's head as he said.
"Arthur, open the secret chamber and let Clawdia get in there."
[ Yes, sir ]
'What's the secret chamber master?' Clawdia asked as she shook her long tail a few times.
"Ohh just nothing… other than a vault filled with all of your favorite snacks in them."
Clawdia's eyes widened as there were huge stars in them as she said 'REALLY?'
"Yes but because you are bored so let's take that up a notch."
"Arthur, make sure to not tell Clawdia where the vault is and try to hide it from her until the moment she truly finds it."
'Why did you do that master?' Clawdia asked as she was confused over what he did.
"Well your bored aren't you then this will also make it exciting for you and when it's over you'll also get a ton of your favorite snacks to eat how much you want."
Hearing that Clawdia became very excited as her tail moved with a strange patern to them as lighting generated around them.
'Ohh. Yes Master. Now that is indeed fun. I won't be bored any longer now.'
"Alright now you go and find that vault of treasures for you."
Clawdia immediately ran off as she heard that with a burst of thunder in her movements as she looked every nook and cranny for her meal.
William went inside the room as he laughed evilly before telling the house's AI system.
"Arthur, make sure to hide the place from her even after she finds it and whenever she would give up, show her the vault again before moving it to another place."
[ Already doing that sir ]
"Oh, efficient aren't we"
[ Very much sir ]
William smiled at that and was a little curious as he asked, "Arthur, why are you talkative so suddenly?"
[ Is that a problem, sir. Do you want me to turn off that feature? ]
"No no nothing like that. It's just you had a sudden change in your tone and behavior."
[ That is because of the new update, sir. It adds a lot of new features to it like voice interaction and more fluid emotional conversation ]
"Ohh, okay, quite nice."
[ But if your having any problems then please do not hesitate to tell me about it ]
"Alright I will. But at the moment also make sure to let her have some meals too and not make it too difficult for her, okay."
[ Of Course, Sir. But I should keep her occupied until you are done with your cultivation, correct? ]
"Now you're getting me. Man the new update sure did some wonders for you didn't it."
[ Not so much as you letting me spend your money without you even knowing about it ]
"Haha ha. That was a joke… right." William asked as he momentarily thought about the situation actually becoming true.
[ Yes sir, It was a joke ]
William sighed in relief at that.
[ That is also a new feature from the update, sir ]
William nodded as he closed the door and thought.
'Man the update did have some peculiarities to it. The next thing you know an apocalyptic event concerning AI systems and humanity would start…
Not a great thing to think about when you're in a kingdom where technology is completely everywhere.'
William was about to close the windows as well but decided not to as he let in the sun's ray on the quiet and empty room.
He looked at the room one last time before nodding in acknowledgement as he sat down right in the middle of the room.
He took a cultivators cross legged positions and closed his eyes as he took a few deep breaths before slowly concentrating on going to the dark and almost desolate place.
Slowly over time he started to feel hazy until at one point he knew that he had arrived at his inner mind and opened his bright golden eyes.
He looked at the new but familiar dark place and nodded as he knew that he had arrived at the right place. He looked over to see if the cubes were there or not.
And as he was certain, indeed they were there. Floating like they almost do but there were two things different about this place then before.
First, The cubes which were rotating before he had gotten his new body were now completely still. If someone unfamiliar with them looked at them then they would think that they were statues that had been like that since time immemorial.
And now the second thing different about this place was that there was another thing beside the two cubes that were here since the beginning.
But it was quite different from the two cubes.
The cubes were… cubes but the new thing was an egg.
It was an actual Egg.
William became quite interested at the new arrival and slowly floated there to look at the thing.
He looked at the egg and surmised that it was a dragon's egg because of the new breathing skill that he had recently bought.
The dragon's egg looked like a beautiful statue with its red and black color and scales covering everywhere of its outer layering.
The egg looked very much like a stone statue so William touched it with both of his hands to get the feel of them. And as he had thought indeed it was a stoney feeling he was getting from the egg.
But there was something strange about it too, as the egg felt very warm and when he concentrated on it he could feel a slight vibration coming from inside the egg.
It felt like there was a something inside it and the vibration it gave was coming from the things heartbeats.
William went ahead and hugged the egg with his body completely covering it. For him it was a very comfortable feeling as he closed his eyes and just kept hugging the egg.
But unknown to him, he slowly started to give mana to the egg.
