Chapter 019

The faint pulsing sound from within the eggshell felt unfamiliar and strange as this life transmitted its presence through his palm. Xiaoyu's heart, hardened by the end times, softened at this moment.

As the repair fluid took effect, the pulsing sound grew stronger, gradually synchronizing with the strong and steady pulse in Bai Xiaoyu's palm.

Bai Xiaoyu's lips curved into a gentle smile. "Little guy, keep it up. Surviving a great calamity must bring good fortune."

The live chat picked up on Bai Xiaoyu's joy and laughter, causing another wave of uproar.

"The streamer has truly lost it. Not only is he babbling nonsense but also laughing so creepily."

"This egg-cooking maniac is clearly insane. Next time my kid misbehaves, I know what to do."

"This person deserves severe punishment!"

Bai Xiaoyu's transformation into an egg-cooking maniac quickly spread, especially in Imperial Star.

At the Imperial Military Academy.

"Isn't that the useless guy who got into our school through connections and always scores a few points every year?"

"I thought we'd never see him again after graduation, but now he's still making news even after being expelled from Imperial Star. He actually became a breeder? Cooking eggs? What kind of demon is this?"

"He must be brought before the Interstellar Court. This time, no background can save him!"

In the central administrative district of Imperial Star, the newly appointed mayor, Bai Chufan, watched Bai Xiaoyu closely. Despite this variable that should have long been dead, he was still quite concerned. It seemed that cannon fodder remained cannon fodder.

From now on, he would focus more on that other person, after all, he was the protagonist.

In a villa in Imperial Star, the Galactic Emperor Bai Qing, lounging with a beauty, watched the live stream with an expressionless gaze, as if the person on screen wasn't his 'beloved' son but rather a stranger.

At this moment, the beauty sitting beside him spoke up, "Your Majesty still can't let go of Xiaoyu?"

Bai Qing replied, "He's an adult now; he should be responsible for his actions."

The beauty chuckled. "Aren't you afraid of hurting her feelings?"

Bai Qing: "She's carrying another one; she doesn't have extra energy."

Meanwhile, various factions in Imperial Star were all secretly observing the situation. Many were watching with a mix of curiosity and amusement, given that their own children had also borne children with the emperor.

Even though Bai Xiaoyu was almost always at the bottom in terms of talent and intelligence, and thus not considered a threat, they often enjoyed watching him make a fool of himself. This time was no different.

This time, however, he might not be as lucky, daring to cook eggs live on stream?

At the Imperial Military Academy, Gao Yang, who had recently been guarding the store 'Bai Bai's Dear Black,' saw the out-of-stock notice and sent many messages without any response. Reluctantly, he logged off the Star Network.

After logging off, while thinking about how to contact the store owner and convince him to collaborate with his family, he casually browsed through alumni groups and class chats. Upon entering, he found all the groups unusually active.

Everyone knew that the Imperial Military Academy was full of top students who were always intensely competitive. Groups usually had no activity, not even emojis. Now, all groups showed over 99 unread messages.

Gao Yang was shocked; it had been a long time since the groups were this lively. The last time was when that useless Bai Xiaoyu was expelled from Imperial Star. During his years here, the groups were always buzzing whenever Bai Xiaoyu's terrible exam results were announced. In a way, he was the top influencer of the Imperial Military Academy.

Now, who could be causing such a stir? Could it be another top student taking a break from competition?

Opening the group, he exclaimed, "Isn't that old acquaintance Bai Xiaoyu?"

Hadn't he graduated and been expelled from Imperial Star, going to the edge of the galaxy? How was he still causing a stir?

What about cooking eggs?

Gao Yang clicked into the live stream and was startled by the smoke-filled cauldron. Before he could vent his anger, his attention was drawn to the setting of the live room.

To wait for the store owner and the lucky buyer, he had practically worn down the floor! So he immediately recognized this as the store owner's live streaming location.

Could the master alchemist know Bai Xiaoyu? And cooking eggs—when Bai Xiaoyu used to bully others with his gang, he did plenty of bad things. But due to their lack of intelligence, they often failed. He was expelled from Imperial Star for an unforgivable mistake, infuriating the emperor, who spared his life but exiled him to the edge of the galaxy.

The master alchemist, who sold high-grade A-level potions at low prices, didn't seem like someone who would collude with Bai Xiaoyu.

Gao Yang was conflicted. Switching to the main view of the live stream, he heard Bai Xiaoyu's soft voice. Who was he talking to?

From his perspective, he could see Bai Xiaoyu's slender, pale hand with distinct knuckles and pink nails. He had seen a master alchemist's hands, which looked similar but were not as beautiful as Bai Xiaoyu's.

At this moment, Yang Wang spoke again from outside, "Move aside quickly, or we'll use force to remove you. Xiao Xi, these are all warriors from the Sixteenth Legion, each with an A+ physique. You can't beat them."

The viewers in the live stream perked up. Warriors from the XVI Legion?

"Warriors, arrest this egg-cooking maniac!"

"Bai Xiaoyu, you're finished. You'll soon face the Interstellar Court."

"Trying to cook us? In your next life!"

Bai Xiaoyu hadn't yet withdrawn his hand. He felt the fragile yet resilient life inside the egg stabilizing. Tapping gently with his fingertip, he startled the little creature inside, causing it to cling tightly to the shell, seemingly not wanting Bai Xiaoyu's hand to leave.

Bai Xiaoyu whispered softly, "Once I deal with these troubles, I'll play with you."

The viewers were baffled. Who was he talking to? Could it be the already cooked egg?

Has he really gone mad?

Bai Xiaoyu turned to look at the door. Dahei and the assistant were already confronting the intruders. Just as they were about to fight, he spoke, "Dahei, Xiao Xi, that's enough. Let them in."

Yang Wang and the others, amidst the screams in the live chat, rushed in, heading straight for the egg in the cauldron.

Bai Xiaoyu stopped them, "Wait."

Yang Wang's face was stern. "Bai Xiaoyu, move!"

Bai Xiaoyu ignored her hostile gaze: "Let me open it. The little guy inside Egg No. 1 is fine now, healthier than ever."

The chat was flooded with sarcastic laughter.

Yang Wang endured her impatience, "Quickly take the egg out."

Bai Xiaoyu opened the pill furnace, and instantly smoke billowed out from all eight small chambers inside.

The live stream audience exploded in disbelief—smoke everywhere, yet he claimed everything was fine?

Yang Wang rushed forward, but before she could, Bai Xiaoyu scooped out the egg, which had grown much larger than before. His gaze softened as he turned to Yang Wang: "Eggie just stabilized. Be careful with it."

The live stream audience: ...

What kind of monster are you, pretending to be caring now?

Yang Wang's anger dissipated the moment she touched the egg—it wasn't as hot as she expected!

She had prepared herself for a boiled egg, even planning to personally send Bai Xiaoyu to the Interstellar Court. But the egg felt normal, showing no signs of being cooked. As soon as she held it, her keen sense of smell detected a pleasant medicinal fragrance, which made her feel more relaxed and calmed her agitation.

Sniffing slightly, she remembered her purpose and called over others to test the egg with instruments.

Everyone held their breath; the live stream fell silent.

Soon, the test results came out. Apart from weight and size data, everyone focused on the last two items:

Body Temperature: 37.6°C

Internal Vitality: 100%

Bai Qing, who had been watching, suddenly stood up, "This can't be true!"

Even if Bai Xiaoyu hadn't cooked the egg, the repair agent was used right in front of everyone. For an egg that had already shown signs of yolk leakage, success was impossible.

The live stream audience was equally stunned. They had watched him cook the egg, yet it showed no damage. Even interrupting the egg's absorption of the repair agent didn't cause any issues?

Meanwhile, the Imperial Military Academy faculty and students, who had temporarily paused their internal competition, were also watching. Their faces reflected disbelief.

Even the top student in the pharmacology department appeared in the school group chat.

"I watched the part where he added the repair agent. He was actually refining medicine! I observed how he placed the herbs; none of my classmates could match his skill!"

"Are you kidding? A double-F loser refining medicine? And directly for an egg? No one in the entire galaxy could do that."

"You're doubting my professional judgment. I'll have my mentor review it. Just because no one has done it before doesn't mean it's impossible."

At that moment, Bai Qing ate a grape offered by a beauty, his expression inscrutable.

On the other side, Bai Chufan sat down, deep in thought. Was that a pill furnace?

Across Imperial Star, other factions fell silent. Once the Sixteenth Legion's test results were confirmed, they knew it was real.

They no longer underestimated Bai Xiaoyu but instead grew wary. Perhaps he really was different from before. Could he have been pretending all along?

The chat exploded again.

"This is impossible. Interrupting the egg's absorption of the repair agent should have caused problems. The live stream said he would cook us; it didn't seem like a joke. It scared me!"

"Exactly. Rumor has it this streamer has powerful backing. He got into the Imperial Military Academy's top program despite low grades. Maybe he bribed the testers?"

"What nonsense. This is the Sixteenth Legion under Marshal Bai Chen, not some royal guard on Imperial Star."

"The commenter above, watch your words. Anyway, since the Sixteenth Legion confirmed the results, I'm supporting the streamer."

"Agreed!"

Some still doubted or were perhaps hired trolls.

"Marshal Bai has been missing for half a year. Who knows if the Sixteenth Legion has fallen?"

"Indeed, there were rumors about issues in that battle."

"What do you mean?"

Arguments quickly erupted.

Hearing Marshal Bai Chen's name again, Bai Xiaoyu noticed the grim faces of the Sixteenth Legion members and narrowed his eyes.

He slowly spoke: "The results are here. Whoever tests it will get the same result—the egg is healthy! You don't believe it? There are more people outside."

He clapped his hands, and the large black egg and White Wolf brought in the man who had led the earlier group.

The man had just received orders to tamper with the testing equipment. But as soon as he took out the instrument, White Wolf pounced on him.

How bizarre! He was an A-class Beastman, yet he couldn't fight back against this juvenile White Wolf. It was unbelievable!

Facing so many people, he couldn't tamper with the equipment. Thinking of the threats from Imperial Star, he reluctantly tested the egg.

Upon seeing the results, Bai Qing kicked over a chair in anger, "Useless! Can't even handle a simple task!"

Bai Xiaoyu declared: "Anyone else who doubts it, come to Planet D36 for a test. I'll be waiting. By the way, those who said I wouldn't have a chance to cook you—now I think I have infinite chances. What do you think?"

The live stream audience: So scary QAQ
