Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Everyone held their breath, eagerly awaiting the drama.

They wanted to see how this "green-hatted" child would react.

His Majesty Emperor Star appeared menacing, intimidating the young one significantly.

However, after His Majesty called out to the youngster, no further action was taken.

Stellar Network viewers turned their attention to analyzing Lu Wei.

[What kind of attire is the Stand-In Queen wearing? So... liberal...]

[Hasn't anyone heard the legends about the previous queens? Rumor has it that they used to dress like this and had very distinctive manners. This person might have been specifically trained to emulate them.]

[That could be. For His Majesty to fall for them, they must resemble the former queen greatly.]

Unaware of the situation, Pang Qiu remained uninformed. However, after being warned by the devil once, Lu Danjiao dared not speak out of turn. "He just went with the adjutant to reinforce the outer security. He should be back soon."

Lu Wei took a deep breath. "Okay."

The demon stood by, exuding an imposing aura.

Pang Qiu clung to Lu Wei's leg, bashfully. "Dad is enough, why do we need… him?"

The Satyr examiners were also taken aback that the child would completely ignore Emperor Star and instead start chatting casually with his biological father.

Whispering to Danjiao, they suggested, "Son, why don't you just call His Majesty 'Dad'? If he's in a good mood, he might spare you out of affection for your dad."

It seemed that the young man held a certain fondness for this child, even if he wasn't his biological son. It wasn't impossible that he might reluctantly accept him.

Lu Danjiao replied, "I don't want to."

The examiners tried their best to persuade him, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads. "Just acknowledge him as your father now."

There might still be a chance to survive.

Lu Wei patted Pang Qiu's head. "Don't you want another father?"

Lu Danjiao: "..."

He wanted it, but not in this way.

"Can I exchange it?" Lu Danjiao tugged at his clothing, lifting his head with misty eyes that held a subtle glimmer.

After Little Fat Ball finished speaking, he sensed a piercing gaze fixated on him. When he looked up, he found himself staring straight into the terrifying Emperor's eyes.

Those eyes seemed devoid of emotion, their pupils much darker than an ordinary person's, giving off an eerie vibe as if they could swallow children whole.

Lu Wei shook his head. "It can't be exchanged."

Lu Danjiao's teardrops threatened to fall. "Ow."

Upon hearing Lu Wei's words, the Canine Emperor's gaze softened slightly.

[What's going on here? Can someone explain it to me?]

[I didn't quite understand either, but from this angle, this kid really does resemble Emperor Star.]

[It's truly identical, I've never seen the Emperor Star's crown prince, but I bet he doesn't resemble this child as much.]

[Might be some advanced technology at play here.]

The Sart Planet examiner noticed that the entire examination hall was now surrounded by troops, and judging from their shoulder badges, they were indeed from the Emperor Star's military.

This kid was like a ticking time bomb; it could explode at any moment.

Reluctantly, Lu Danjiao called out, "Daddy."

His voice was barely audible, akin to a mosquito's buzz.

Lu Wei placed his hand on the youngster's shoulder, "You were carried in a mother's womb for ten months, you can't hold a grudge against your biological father."

Upon hearing this, Lu Danjiao felt even sadder; he was actually born to His Majesty's uncle, sob.

Lu Danjiao clenched his fists and yelled, "Daddy!"

This time, the cry was directed at the royal dog emperor himself. Not only did the subject hear it, but the others from the Sart Planet, as well as the viewers in the live stream, all caught the outburst.

The Star Network's live broadcast fell into a brief silence, only to erupt with frenzied comments.

[This brat really dares to call out, not fearing that His Majesty might go mad and eliminate him in a fit of rage.]

[Congratulations to His Majesty on becoming a second-time father.]

[I dare not imagine how delightful His Majesty's mood must be right now.]

Everyone was eagerly waiting, keen to know how the emperor, who had just learned he was a cuckold, would react.

Yet, the Emperor leisurely inquired, "Can't keep up the act?"

Lu Danjiao harrumphed!

Pang Qiu turned his back and ignored him.

However, Huo Jin didn't let him off. With quick strides, he approached and picked up the little plump ball as if he were lifting a chick.

"Didn't you tell your mother how you deceived him back then?"

At first, Lu Danjiao was still struggling, but his body froze upon hearing those words.

D-damn it, Father still didn't know about the switch with Detective 2.

However, to the onlookers, this had a different interpretation.

"Can't keep up the act" "Tricked him"... These were clear indicators of a cuckolded child lying through his teeth!

The Sart Planet examiners nearly fainted.

Their last shred of hope was shattered at that moment.

It was over; this child was indeed an impostor.

This subtle detail wasn't missed by the spectators watching the spectacle.

[I noticed that this child isn't as afraid of Emperor Star compared to other normal children.]

[Yeah, usually kids would be terrified of such figures, especially since His Majesty's genetic level is so high.]

Perhaps this green-eyed brat also has an impressive genetic level.

But if that's the case, it would be a paradox.

No organization would be foolish enough to use a promising, high-genetic-level child as a mere tool. Normally, such disguised infiltrators sent to impersonate others on different planets have some kind of flaw.

[Unless this child is his biological offspring, not a green-eyed bastard.]

[That's a good one, buddy.]

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

The area outside the venue was also bustling with noise.

There were sounds of guards giving clearance.

"It's the adjutant, let them through."

Following the report of a military guard, a man in uniform appeared, holding a young child by the hand.

It was the aide and the young prince.

The aide had just settled matters with the young prince and rushed over.

Then, he saw not only His Majesty but also Pepper.

Aide: "Okay, okay, okay."

Now, the entire quartet was present.

The aide dragging this young one to join was like adding fuel to the fire for the live-stream viewers.

He held the young prince's hand, while His Majesty carried the green-hat child.

The prospective Stand-In Queen stood between the two of them.

A grand spectacle unfolded.

The appearance of the two youngsters captivated the audience for a solid thirty seconds.

It was said that no one had ever seen the Crown Prince of Emperor Star, but now they had.

Initially, they assumed that none of the Crown Princes could match their sovereign in appearance, unlike this artificially cloned Green Hat child. Now, they retracted their words – His Majesty's genes were incredibly potent. The child resembled him as if he were an adult version and a miniature copy.

Excellent, now not only did the Green Hat child resemble the Emperor, but he was virtually identical to the young prince as well.

When these two children stood together, it was like looking into a mirror.

[?????]

[Seems like I'm blind, who can heal my eyes?]

At this moment, the entire interstellar community was fixated on these two, searching for disparities.

They thought: This green-hat child must have been modeled exactly after the Emperor Star's Crown Prince!

In the eyes of the galactic audience, the culprit behind it all was the prospective stand-in Queen.

However, they were unaware that Earthlings were equally perplexed.

Lu Wei glanced at his brother, Lu Danjiao, then at the young one the adjutant had brought over.

He laughed in exasperation.

Lu Wei: "…"

Lu Wei: "Damn it."

No matter what assumptions Earthlings had made before, now that these two youngsters were standing right in front of him, he still felt as if his cerebellum was shrinking.

He was very familiar with Lu Danjiao, whose eyebrows were always raised, giving off an appearance of happiness.

The young one beside him, on the other hand, seemed more mature and composed, though a slight movement of his brows betrayed some nervousness.

- Most importantly, he felt an uncanny familiarity with this youngster.

In an instant, the Earthling's mind was in overdrive.

Damn.

They had actually met before!

The vibe this person gave off... Lu Wei recognized it almost instantly.

Back when they were on Wu Star, he had spent a short while living together with this young one!

Lu Wei looked at the young prince with an inquisitive gaze. Huo Nian met his eyes for a moment before quickly looking away.

Lu Wei: "..." Damn, this kid seems difficult to get along with.

Pang Qiu lowered his eyelids, not uttering a word.

The denizens of the Star Network were a restless bunch, always eager for turmoil. After devouring such a high-profile scandal, someone promptly contacted Blue Star.

The inhabitants of Blue Star were a warrior race with an extremely low birth rate.

Upon hearing that their sovereign might be bewitched into bringing back an outsider's child, potentially endangering the young prince's position, Blue Star could not remain idle either.

Promptly, they contacted someone who could swiftly reach Sart Planet to persuade His Majesty.

Old Man Delphi, despite his advanced age, had only one remaining concern in his heart: his great-grandson.

To learn of such grim news, how could the elderly man remain calm? He immediately purchased a ticket to Sart Planet.

The site of the young ones' groundbreaking invention on Sart Planet was currently surrounded by military forces. However, the elder, with his military accomplishments and status, obtained permission to enter.

Amidst the utter chaos,

the old man shouted before even stepping onto the scene, "Don't lay a hand on my little great-grandson!"

The situation was already chaotic enough.

And now, the leader of Blue Star had unexpectedly intervened.

While the Star Network's spectators were still trying to grasp the previous drama, the next character made their entrance.

[Is this… the high-ranking official of the Blue Star organization?]

[This must be someone from Emperor Star's home planet. The birth rate is also very low in Blue Star, so this elder must be worried after learning about the situation.]

[Who wouldn't be anxious if their own child were about to be replaced by a stepchild and an unrelated child?]

The old man's thoughts aligned with those of the Star Network's netizens.

He never imagined that His Majesty would have such a foolish day, falling for a substitute beauty scheme and even bringing back an unrelated child into the royal family.

—All while there was already a crown prince.

The old man sighed deeply, his blue eyes appearing somewhat dim.

Old Man Delphi immediately spotted Lu Danjiao: "Your Highness, are you alright?!"

By now, Lu Danjiao had been set down by Huo Jin, his movements controlled like a ball.

That damned devil held tightly onto the back of his neck!

Pang Qiu, struggling to break free from the devil's grasp, protested, "You've got the wrong person, Grandpa Delphi."

Old Man Delphi: ???

His gaze slowly shifted to the duo standing not far away – one tall and one small.

There, he saw the adjutant holding a little toddler.

That child was his own little prince.

The old man looked left and right.

On his left, the adjutant held his first great-grandnephew.

On his right, the Emperor pressed down on his second great-grandnephew.

In the middle stood someone whose figure and appearance were eerily familiar.

...It was his long-lost grandson-in-law.

For a moment, the elderly man seemed perplexed, a dense veil of fog obscuring the once-vigorous twinkle in his eyes.

He stood rooted to the spot, momentarily unsure of which direction to take.
