Chapter 108

At this stage, the eggs had just started to move, making them the most curious and lively about the outside world.

Every time Bai Xiaoyu checked on them, the eggs would try to entangle him, wanting his mental threads to play with them for longer.

The only thing the eggs resisted was when he added new potions. The potions used during the hatchlings' development were all personally refined by Bai Xiaoyu, and varied based on each egg's condition.

As the hatchlings inside the eggs fully formed, their senses of taste, sight, and touch gradually improved. What they once absorbed happily now caused them to become agitated within thirty seconds after Bai Xiaoyu added the potion. They rolled around, even trying to roll out of their incubation compartments, attempting to escape. However, at this stage, the eggs were not very agile and could only float up and down in the potion, unable to escape, eventually sinking to the bottom in despair.

Bai Xiaoyu's mental power detected that the hatchlings inside the eggs also flipped over, their tiny arms and legs trembling.

The live stream audience found it hilarious.

"Whenever the eggs start moving, it seems like whenever the host adds potions, the eggs react as if they were poisoned. It’s both pitiful and funny. Could there be something wrong with the potions?"

"You don't know this, but the potions used in the live stream are at least 2S grade, crafted by a master alchemist. I was lucky enough to win one in a lottery before; its effects were incredible, but the taste was so bad it felt like you were dying."

Many lucky viewers confirmed this, and soon everyone in the live stream knew about it, shouting out comments.

"Host, I heard the potions crafted by that master alchemist are notoriously hard to swallow. Many people say that if it weren’t for the excellent effects, the master alchemist would get beaten up three times a day."

"It’s true. The effects are real, but the taste is terrible. That flavor lingers forever, waking you up from nightmares."

"Haha, really that bad?"

Bai Xiaoyu paused, looking at the laughing audience: "… Are you being polite?"

Feeling the need to prove himself, he took out a row of various potions for them to try.

The audience rushed forward, and ten seconds later, all of them were lying on the ground with twisted faces, white ghosts floating out of their mouths.

In an instant, all the living people in the live stream vanished, replaced by ghosts flipping over and trembling on the ceiling.

This was another large-scale ghost event following the previous rotten egg incident. With more viewers than ever, now counted in the billions, the news quickly went viral.

Soon, everyone in the galaxy knew about the mysterious master alchemist whose potions were incredibly hard to swallow. The live stream scene was likened to a biochemical weapon attack.

The mysterious master alchemist became famous overnight, becoming the top dark cook on unrelated food websites.

Bai Xiaoyu put away the potions, glanced at the audience, and said coldly, "A single potion knocked you out. You’re worse than the eggs."

After checking on the eggs, Bai Xiaoyu finally approached the rebellious egg. Even though the hatchling inside was asleep, necessary potions couldn’t be skipped.

Less than a minute after adding the potion, the egg began to shake.

Since the shaking was abnormal compared to the other eggs rolling around, he used his mental power to investigate. He quickly discovered that the hatchling inside was too tired to move, only able to kick the shell weakly with its feet and pat it feebly with its tiny hands, its small body twitching.

Upon sensing Bai Xiaoyu, the two little tentacles trembled and flailed wildly.

Bai Xiaoyu’s mental thread reached out, receiving the hatchling’s thoughts.

"You covet my empire and want to poison me!"

"If you must kill, do it swiftly. Don’t use such a foul-tasting poison!"

"This is the first time I’ve tasted such a terrifying flavor. Save me... save me..."

Bai Xiaoyu: "These are potions, not poisons."

Mental communication is hard to deceive unless deliberately hidden.

Thus, Bai Xiaoyu and the hatchling both found it hard to believe each other’s words.

In Bai Xiaoyu’s words of "bitter medicine you must get used to," the hatchling started bubbling and flipped over.

Bai Xiaoyu sighed, then saw the hatchling’s body begin to change.

Its head, body, and limbs transformed simultaneously, and a tail began to grow from its spine. Having cared for the hatchling for so long, Bai Xiaoyu recognized this as a clear sign of transformation.

Star beasts transform into their beast form under life-threatening conditions, which is stronger and easier to survive in harsh environments.

Using his mental power to probe the hatchling’s body, he found that the beast bloodline was directly stimulated, awakening and transforming instantly.

Watching the pure human hatchling turn into a bald tiger, Bai Xiaoyu’s lips twitched.

Was it really necessary?

Still, it was a good thing. This hatchling wasn’t one he had been incubating from the start, and even after adjusting for some time, missing the optimal incubation period meant he couldn’t guarantee restoring its original birth form in the next month.

Now, with the bloodline activated, things were much simpler.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, he finally acknowledged that the potions he crafted might be just a bit hard to swallow.

Just a bit.

Despite this, every day, viewers requested to taste the legendary dark potions. Thus, the live stream was surrounded by ghosts daily, creating a comical and amusing scene.

Later, Metal Egg came to Bai Xiaoyu, rolling and laughing uncontrollably because of the big tiger inside.

Bai Xiaoyu read the message sent by Metal Egg, explaining that the bio-weapon potion incident had attracted many so-called experts. After analyzing everything, they concluded that the master alchemist, like many geniuses, was lonely, pained, empty, and possibly had a dark personality, channeling these emotions into his potions.

They also believed the master alchemist was quite old, a near-death old man, but his tumultuous life made him a god.

They called him the Medicine God, and the galactic people were moved to tears, praying on various websites for the Medicine God to live longer, hoping he wouldn’t pass away tomorrow.

Bai Xiaoyu: "..."

No wonder they were experts. But with his current mental power, he could live for a long time, and he was still recovering. When he would die, he didn’t know, but he could certainly outlive all these experts.

On the other side, Bai Qing, who was also aware of the situation, was slacking off during a meeting. Seeing this, he spat out the tea he was drinking.

All eyes in the meeting immediately turned to him, but Bai Qing acted as if nothing had happened and told them to continue.

Days passed as everyone prayed that the Medicine God wouldn't kick the bucket, and before they knew it, the day of enlightenment had arrived.

The eggs were developing exceptionally well, each one very lively.

Early in the morning, Bai Xiaoyu had two robots carry an egg with tentacles, which was even larger than the yellow eggs from before. Not only that, but the robots behind also carried similarly sized opaque spheres.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoyu was holding another egg in his arms. This egg contained the youngling that had been stimulated and activated its bloodline. The egg was constantly moving in Bai Xiaoyu's arms, sometimes lying horizontally, sometimes standing vertically.

As the egg kept moving, Bai Xiaoyu's brows gradually furrowed.

This was because, for easier communication, he had inserted a thin thread of mental energy into the egg, just like he did with Little Bit before.

Now, he continuously received complaints from the youngling inside: "Hold me more steadily, hold me here, a little higher, you're tilting... I want to turn over, I want to sleep on my belly, I..."

Bai Xiaoyu: "Shut up, or I'll let you roll on the ground."

Inside the egg, the little tiger's whiskers twitched, and the two small antennae on its head angrily flicked. Its tiny claws scratched at the eggshell fiercely.

How dare this guy speak to the Great Emperor like this! Once he gets out, he will definitely find the countless troops under his command and severely punish him! And those strong troops will surely defeat those two annoying giant eggs and that pesky little white tiger!

Right now...

Bai Xiaoyu's mental energy thread moved slightly, and the aggressive little tiger instantly cowered. It wagged its tail at him and even gently rubbed its antennae against the thread.

Let's let him off for now.

Meanwhile, the members of The Henchmen Group, who had been waiting eagerly for the live stream to start, suddenly sneezed hard.

Who was thinking about them? And why hasn't this dog of a broadcaster started the live stream yet?

Soon, the live stream began, and they quickly forgot about everything else, rushing to their chosen eggs, waiting for the parents to arrive.

Bai Xiaoyu was guarding the incubation facility when Lu Qing brought the first group of parents over.

There were nine people in total. The first six came in pairs, clearly couples. Among them were two familiar faces, Xiao Yue and Ye Feng.

Bai Xiaoyu had read the profiles of the other parents and naturally knew their identities. He didn't expect that the parents of three rare species' younglings would all gather together.

Behind them stood three individuals in different positions, completely isolated from each other, all with striking appearances. Especially the two on the left, whose looks were even more exceptional.

The man on the right was tall and handsome, with fair skin and wearing a military uniform. The number of stripes on his shoulders indicated to Bai Xiaoyu, who had learned from retired soldiers, that he was a lieutenant general.

When Bai Xiaoyu looked at him, the man nodded slightly, lowering the brim of his cap a bit.

Bai Xiaoyu nodded back in greeting and almost immediately noticed that the color of the man's nails was darker than usual.

The man in the middle also wore a military uniform, with delicate features and a gentle demeanor, looking like an extremely kind person.

Bai Xiaoyu saw that his rank was brigadier general.

The last one was a tall woman, matching the height of the man in the middle. She had cold, fair skin and a refined appearance, but her aura matched her skin tone, exuding a commanding presence in her military uniform.

She, like the first man, was a lieutenant general.

Bai Xiaoyu and the interns present, as well as the viewers in the live stream, were stunned.

Three generals arriving one after another—what was going on?

Meanwhile, the three elders watching the live stream were frustrated with their own offspring, feeling like they were made of iron but lacked steel.

They had repeatedly urged their offspring to be proactive. The offspring had agreed, but now they stood there silently, separated by vast distances.

Even when their gazes occasionally met, they either turned away or engaged in a silent battle of eye contact.

They were supposed to watch the eggs' enlightenment and seize the opportunity to socialize, not fight!

The elders watched, growing increasingly angry, criticizing both their own offspring and the others for not being proactive. Thus, the outcome was predictable.

The parents soon introduced themselves without revealing specific details, but everyone knew they were from the same clans as the parents.

However, Bai Xiaoyu could tell their identities from their auras. Apart from his recent interactions with the younglings in the eggs, he was already familiar with two of the races, especially the zombies, whom he recognized almost immediately after dealing with them for over a decade.

The three individuals were also familiar with Bai Xiaoyu. During their initial greetings, they sensed that he had identified them, leading them to give him several curious glances.

The three elders watching the live stream suddenly paused their bickering. Could these three guys have set their sights on this breeder simultaneously?

Unaware of the elders' thoughts, Bai Xiaoyu decided to begin the enlightenment since the parents had arrived.

He initially planned to check the eggs in order, but now he prioritized the eggs of the three clans.

He explained the situation to the parents, asking them to wait, then walked to the zombie egg. As soon as his mental energy probed inside, the youngling inside immediately tried to grab the thread with its short hands, which had black nails.

Bai Xiaoyu didn't play with the youngling for long. After checking and soothing it, he withdrew. Turning to the parents of the zombie egg, he said, "The youngling is in excellent condition; you can come over now."

The parents thanked Bai Xiaoyu and approached excitedly, followed by the man behind them. As he got closer, his brows gradually furrowed. When he stood near the egg's incubation chamber, the egg tilted slightly towards him while communicating with the parents.

The man instinctively reached out, and as he touched the egg, his nails darkened slightly, but he quickly suppressed it. He raised his head sharply, his eyes filled with disbelief. Was this?

Those unfamiliar with this clan didn't notice this detail. Only Bai Xiaoyu and the other two men in military uniforms observed it.

The gentle man's eyes flickered, and even the woman beside him narrowed her eyes.

Could the zombie clan have a youngling with at least half-awakened bloodline?

The elder in black on the other side was also stunned, his smile gradually widening until he burst out laughing, "Our clan is finally having a youngling! Even if it's not fully awakened, after waiting for a hundred years, I'm satisfied!"

The other two elders, though feeling a twinge of jealousy, knew it was something they had long awaited and did not dampen his spirits.

Bai Xiaoyu then approached an egg. As soon as his mental energy probed inside, he immediately saw a tiny mermaid swiftly swimming over, circling around his mental energy and even blowing small bubbles from its mouth. Its originally colorless and transparent tail now had scales that had turned sky blue, indicating extremely pure mermaid blood.

Bai Xiaoyu chuckled softly at the adorable little mermaid.

He quickly called his parents over, and the middle-aged man followed closely behind. However, when he approached the egg, his face also displayed the same expression as the previous man's. Similarly, the moment he touched the egg, his hair changed color and then returned to normal.

This time, it was the elder in blue who was delighted.

Finally, the elder in red and the standing woman gazed intently at the egg Bai Xiaoyu was investigating.

Bai Xiaoyu looked at the hatchling wrapped in a faintly glowing purple veil, which had now become transparent, allowing him to see the little hatchling clearly. It was another tailed creature with a beautiful purple tail. Unlike the mermaid hatchling, this one had fins on both cheeks, which were translucent light purple and gently flapped as it swam, making it incredibly charming.

Bai Xiaoyu watched the little pearl mermaid circling his mental energy and gently poked its tail. The little pearl mermaid seemed delighted, shyly extending its tail out of the veil to rub against the familiar and warm mental energy threads.

He called the parents again, watching the instant change in the woman's cheeks. This time, the three elders did not fight but instead changed their attitude, hugging each other excitedly.

Soon, watching the three troublemakers carefully holding the eggs, they all felt a pang of jealousy.

If these troublemakers had been more obedient earlier, wouldn't they be the ones holding the eggs right now?
