[Ding]

[Congratulations Host, Nyx’s Affection Level improved]

[Wild Cat: +10% = 60%]

Ayra smiled at the stats. She guessed that even though the wild cat was still playing cold and nonchalant, deep down, he did care.

"Cute," she thought as she watched him finish his inspection and come back to her.

"It’s safe."

Ayra smiled as she raised her hand and patted his hair and ears. "Good cat. Here’s your reward for caring for me."

"....."

Nyx was speechless as he stared at her. He couldn’t help his ears from twitching before they slowly drooped. His cheeks flushed as he blinked.

Lord Vale leaned closer. "Is he... blushing?"

Nyx instantly pulled back and turned to him. "When did that happen?"

Ayra smiled as she shook her head. She turned to the Queen and the other snakes who had gathered and said, "Let’s proceed now."

The snakes around them were already smiling at the scene, but when Ayra was ready for business, they quickly showed her the way.

The Snake Queen stood close to Ayra as they approached the egg. She watched as Ayra slowly knelt down and gently ran her hand over the egg.

Her fingers moved across the bamboo-like shell while nourishing it with her energy. She remained like that for a while, her eyes closed as she focused on feeling the energy within it.

Everyone stood there, staring curiously, waiting to hear what she would say.

After a while, she finally spoke.

"It wasn’t my energy..."

"...."

Silence fell as they stared at Ayra.

"Huh? What do you mean?" one of the snakes inquired.

Ayra opened her eyes with a soft smile and turned to stare at the Queen. "The energy that nourished the egg for hatching, the one that could potentially help it hatch... didn’t belong to me."

The snakes were confused as they stared at each other before looking back at Ayra.

"Huh? How’s that possible...?" one of them asked. "We were sure of what we tracked..."

Ayra smiled as she stared at the egg. "It’s not mine, but I know who it belongs to."

Now they stared at her curiously.

"And who does it belong to? Help us so we can save the little one before it’s too late," the Queen requested.

Ayra nodded with a smile. "The energy belongs to my little daughter."

"....."

As soon as she announced that, everyone paused.

They slowly stared at each other before looking down at Ally, who was standing close to Lord Ash. Even Lord Ash stared down at her in surprise.

"It was her...?" The Queen stared at little Ally, both impressed and surprised.

Ayra turned to her with a smile. "I know my child’s energy anywhere, and I can tell that she was the one who did it. Her energy flows through the little one, and that was what nourished and sustained her."

"So... I think she’s the one with the perfect nourishing energy to help in such a situation," Ayra concluded.

Everyone stared at Ally, impressed and surprised.

Even Ally was shocked. She ran up to Ayra and asked, "Is this true, Mum? I can do it...? I did that...?"

Ayra nodded with a smile, and Ally smiled back. She couldn’t believe she could actually do it. She had always admired her mum for her skills, and now she had her own moment!

The Queen smiled. "So this little one of yours is also talented... That’s impressive already."

Ayra nodded with a smile as she held Ally’s hand and slowly turned back to the egg.

"Come here... I’ll teach you how to do it."

Everyone stared at the scene, marveling at the heartwarming collaboration between the mother and daughter.

They eagerly watched as Ally bent down beside Ayra. Ayra gently took her hand and placed it on the egg before guiding her.

"Do this..." she instructed, showing her the way.

Ally happily followed, the two of them soothing their energy through the egg before them.

Ally quickly learned the technique, and Ayra slowly let her take over. The little girl happily smiled as she moved her hand over the egg, her pheromones and energy spreading through the space.

Everyone there could feel their pheromones—strong, unique pheromones belonging to the mother and daughter.

And soon, they all caught sight of something happening.

The egg began to crack.

"Oh..." Ally hesitated as she stared at the lines spreading across the egg. "What’s happening...?"

Ayra smiled. "Congratulations. You did it. The egg is hatching..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was thrilled. The snakes began gathering closer to take a look at what was happening.

They couldn’t contain their joy, not even the Queen. They were all happy as they watched the egg hatch before their eyes.

Ally smiled, pleased with what she had done, as she watched it happen.

The shells of the egg slowly began falling apart and breaking off. Soon, when the last pieces fell away, the sight of the little one was revealed.

A tiny lemon-green snake lay among the gathered leaves. It had a golden mark around its head, while its body gleamed beautifully.

The snake was so tiny that everyone couldn’t help but adore it. They simply watched as it gently moved around after hatching, slowly crawling through the leaves while everyone smiled at the scene.

Ayra smiled as she slowly got to her feet with Ally in her arms. The two of them turned toward the Snake Queen, who was standing behind them.

"Your little one is here," Ayra announced with a pleased smile.

They stepped aside, allowing the Queen to get closer to her little one.

Happy, the Snake Queen slowly crawled toward where her little one lay. She moved gently, making sure she didn’t hurt the tiny snake, her movements extremely cautious.

As she drew closer, the tiny snake felt her energy and slowly crawled toward its mother’s side as well. Their two bodies cuddled close together as the Queen curled around her little one, warming her with her body.

It was a wholesome scene, one that had everyone smiling as they watched the Queen finally welcome her little one.
