Closing the bathroom glass door, Li Yuan dried his damp hair ends with a towel and inevitably passed by the white mermaid egg he had placed in the corner of the wall.
[Ordinary mermaids spend 200 years of their infancy inside the shell. The two eggs sent by the Earl happen to be on the verge of hatching.]
[They will probably hatch in about half a month. By then, the custom-made fish tanks and other mermaid supplies will be delivered to the two young masters accordingly…]
Recalling the instructions the messenger had left, Li Yuan subconsciously took another look at the mermaid egg in the corner.
Because of his mother's birthday banquet, Count Alyster—his own uncle—had sent two exceptionally rare mermaid eggs.
Mermaids are naturally gentle and innocent, making them very suitable as playmates for children, and they are extremely popular among upper-class families with children.
However, for Li Yuan, these overly soft adjectives only reminded him of his frail younger brother.
But his own mermaid egg was indeed very beautiful.
Under the light, it had a soft halo, and there was even a faint hint of rainbow colors.
Even though he had little interest in art appreciation, Li Yuan had to admit that this mermaid egg had an elegance that rivaled any artwork in the Imperial Star Museum.
And it felt very smooth too.
Li Yuan unconsciously crouched down and gently tapped the eggshell with his hand.
Interestingly, the eggshell seemed sentient, tilting its plump body slightly and leaning toward the boy's palm.
This made the usually expressionless youth raise his eyebrows in surprise.
