"Who is your companion?"
The Seven-Colored Egg glanced around at the surrounding orange flowers.
Could there be another seed with sentience here?
Inside the white pouch, the special seed "snorted."
Its tone became proud and adoring,
"He has a tough skin and a solid core. Summer becomes scorching because of him, and winter grows cold because of him..."
"He never speaks, yet he understands everything. He knows how life sprouts from the soil, is aware of the changing seasons, and appreciates the drifting clouds..."
"He is the most handsome, reliable, and captivating being I have ever seen."
The Seven-Colored Egg grew more confused as it listened. Had it started writing an essay?
Was this how poetry was written?
It would have to find a poet to ask later.
The Seven-Colored Egg looked around. Tough skin, solid core...
What was that?
A mutated seed?
"Just tell me where he is," the Seven-Colored Egg said bluntly.
In the white pouch, the seed incredulously asked,
"After I've said so much, you still don't know who he is?"
"Are there any other beings here more handsome, reliable, or unique than him?"
The Seven-Colored Egg: "..."
It really couldn't tell.
Thinking of the "toughness" the other party mentioned, it casually pointed to a football-sized stone nearby.
"Could it be this stone?"
The voice in the white pouch paused for a moment, then shyly replied with an "Mm."
The Seven-Colored Egg: "?!"
It looked at the stone, then at the white pouch.
It even opened it to check.
Confused, it asked, "But you're a seed!"
"What's wrong with a seed? Can't a seed like a stone?"
"This stone hasn't gained sentience either..."
"Whether it has gained sentience or not doesn't affect its charm. We are both products of nature's exquisite craftsmanship. Who is nobler than whom?"
"..."
The Seven-Colored Egg pondered, it seemed to make sense.
"Nature is truly magical."
Upon hearing this, the seed's voice became smug and cheerful.
"From sunrise to sunset, from spring to autumn, everything around changes, but only he remains constant."
From the first moment it arrived in the human world, it saw that stone.
Though seemingly plain and unadorned, it was far more eternal than the surrounding flora and fauna.
It remained silent, yet it could shield itself from wind and snow, and collect dew.
"Companionship is the most enduring confession of love."
Its appearance was merely its camouflage.
Its uniqueness, its handsomeness, only it would understand.
"Therefore, I will never leave him. If you try to force us apart, I would rather die!"
The Seven-Colored Egg: Alright, the mystery is solved.
The love between a stone and a seed...
This was truly more dramatic than any television drama.
"Then let him go back with you, so you won't be separated."
"No, he cannot leave here!"
The seed hurriedly stopped it, "If he goes to the underworld, will he still be the same him?"
"Unless he willingly leaves, he will cease to be himself."
The conversation suddenly became profound, with a touch of philosophy.
The Seven-Colored Egg circled the stone below, finally understanding the feeling of being overwhelmed.
It was just an egg.
Showing off their affection was one thing, but why make it sound so grand and noble?
The Seven-Colored Egg: "Fine."
The seed in the pouch was about to breathe a sigh of relief when it heard the other party continue,
"Then let's find a way to make him willingly come with us."
Immediately, the Seven-Colored Egg conjured a hammer from clouds.
"Now I'll ask him if he'll come with us. If he's willing, he should nod, and I'll smash him into pieces."
"If he's unwilling, he should remain as he is."
The special seed: "!!!"
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
"You stop! Wait! Wait!"
"Take him with us, no need to use force, he's willing to come with us!"
The Seven-Colored Egg: "Oh, if he's willing, that's good."
The cloud hammer in the air swayed a couple of times before being put away by the Seven-Colored Egg.
Wouldn't it have been easier to say so earlier?
It had already taken so many days to find the mission target. If this seed held things up any longer...
Its master would probably have finished learning everything.
...
"So, what Egg Egg has been looking for all this time is a seed and a stone?"
In the live stream,
The viewers saw Egg Egg suddenly fly out from the flower bushes and capture the seed that had transformed into a small flower.
Then, it spun around in place, and suddenly conjured a cloud hammer.
It held it above a football-sized stone.
"Is Egg Egg threatening this stone? (Thinking.jpg)"
"Egg Egg: Are you coming or not? If not, I'll smash you?"
"Thinking about it this way, it's quite imposing, hahaha... Egg Egg, mighty!"
...
Underworld.
Jiang Lin saw this and closed the live stream.
It seemed that the Seven-Colored Egg's mission was nearing completion.
He also needed to start preparing his graduation project.
He would need to use the paper-cutting techniques and commands he had learned.
First, he would build a scene, and then craft a small paper figure...
Depending on the size of the scene, the paper figure only needed to be palm-sized.
Then came the details...
Under the starry sky.
A large table appeared before Jiang Lin, covered with white origami paper.
With scissors in one hand and paper in the other, he began to work.
Soon, a palm-sized paper figure was completed.
...
...
Human World.
After resolving the issue of the seed and the stone's whereabouts, the Seven-Colored Egg did not return immediately.
Instead, it paused at the spot and flew back to the small grove it had just left.
Beneath a short tree, a small, snow-white puppy with only a small patch of black on its back and tail stood there.
One of its front paws was lifted, as if about to step forward, and it remained motionless.
It remembered that when its "mom" left earlier, she had told it to stay put.
Seeing the puppy's posture, the Seven-Colored Egg was confused for a couple of seconds before remembering.
"You can move now."
As soon as the thought was conveyed, the puppy joyfully hopped up.
"Woof woof~"
The Seven-Colored Egg asked, "Where are you from?"
"Woof woof~"
The puppy stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail.
It looked as if it had no idea.
The Seven-Colored Egg: "..."
The Seven-Colored Egg thought about it. When it was looking for the seed earlier, there seemed to be a small village nearby.
It flew onto the puppy's back and directed it towards the village, "Let's go!"
I'll take you to see your real mom.
"Woof woof~"
The egg and the dog set off happily.
With the Seven-Colored Egg's enhancement, the puppy's speed also increased significantly.
Soon, they arrived at the nearby village.
