The Proper Way to Hatch a Dragon Egg

[Seeking Advance Readers for the Follow-Up Novel, The Movie Star's Panda Has Become a Spirit] One day, restaurant owner Yu Lin receives a giant white egg that fell from the sky and suddenly awakens memories of his past life. What the hell, isn't this his old nemesis, that hypocrite Lord Qingshi? In his previous life, Yu Lin was an immortal who had cultivated the Dao. He and another immortal, Lord Qingshi, were at odds and couldn't stand each other. After fighting in the celestial realm for over a thousand years, they both fell and descended to the mortal world to undergo tribulations. What should you do when your enemy turns into an egg? Obviously, incubate it! Then stew it after it hatches! A few days later, the giant white egg finally hatched, revealing a palm-sized baby dragon. It gazed at Yu Lin with big, shining eyes and let out a childish, "Chirp?" Oh my god, it's so cute it'll kill me! Yu Lin was instantly smitten and decided to let bygones be bygones. He would keep the baby dragon as a pet and raise it! A few more days passed, and the little dragon suddenly transformed into a handsome man with bright eyes, shapely brows, a face like jade, and red lips. It was none other than Yu Lin's nemesis of a thousand years, Lord Qingshi! You've got to be kidding me! Yu Lin raged: Where's my little one? The cute, tiny one! Give him back to me! Qingshi drew closer step by step, a devastating smile playing on his lips. "Since you like little ones so much, why not have one yourself?" Later: Qingshi: "Want to ascend to immortality again and return to the celestial court?" Yu Lin: "Of course. Do you know how?" Qingshi: "One kiss, and essence becomes energy. One session of dual cultivation, and energy becomes spirit." Yu Lin wrestled with himself, his face burning: "W-We were enemies. How can we practice dual cultivation?" Qingshi ran his tongue over the tip of his fang and nuzzled Yu Lin's neck. "Precisely because we're enemies, we have to be together for lifetime after lifetime, until death do us part." **A possessive, scheming, secretly masochistic dragon god gong x a prickly immortal jun who says one thing but means another, a brainless, sugary little romance. **This novel is entirely fictional.

He thinks he's reached the pinnacle of panda life: all he has to do is act cute, roll around, eat, and sleep. His owner would even lovingly call his droppings fragrant. But he couldn't be more wrong. In this other world, pandas aren't rare national treasures. They're treated about the same as ordinary cats and dogs. Lin Gungun has no special advantage at all, and his owner is always complaining that he eats too much, is too fat, and isn't as clever or cute as someone else's pet. Lin Gungun is so depressed that he loses a couple of ounces in a month. He can't go on like this. He might as well turn into a human! He's going all out to win his owner's affection! Lin Zhen: "My childhood friend has a dog that can jump through a hoop." Lin Gungun huffed and puffed as he performed a headstand. Lin Zhen: "My rival's parrot can sing 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.'" Lin Gungun wiggled his barrel-shaped waist and danced a tango. Lin Zhen: "The rabbit my first love owns is so thoughtful. Every night, it warms its owner's hands and feet." Lin Gungun panicked and, in a flash, transformed into a slender, handsome young man. He sprawled across his owner's lap, begging for affection. "Awooo, I know 36 ways to warm your bed!" His impeccably dressed owner suddenly sprouted a bushy tail behind him. He stroked the young man's head, touching the furry ears that hadn't yet disappeared. "Is that so? Then show me." The next day, a mysterious young man appeared on the set of a film starring Movie Star Lin. He had clear eyes and a natural talent, but he was only playing a bit part with a few lines, so no one paid him much attention. A few days later, an intimate photo of Movie Star Lin and a popular young actress, faces pressed together outside the set, shot to the top of the trending charts. Rumors spread that they had taken their on-screen romance off-screen and fallen for each other. While the whole internet buzzed with gossip, the popular young actress posted a clarification: "Teacher Lin and I were just rehearsing our scene. Please don't read too much into it [shy.jpg]" Soon, Movie Star Lin posted too: "Don't drag me into this, or my little wife won't let me in tonight." The whole internet was in an uproar. Theme: Love takes care and sincerity from both sides.
