Chapter 139 Chapter 139

Everyone looked at the Little Prince, who was crying increasingly desperately, and they were all dumbfounded.

Just a second ago, he was fine, but now he was crying. His hands had turned into tentacles, wrapping around Little Bai, afraid he would run away. His tears had soaked Little Bai’s clothes.

When the Little Prince wailed, Little Bai, with a look of uncertainty, clumsily patted the Little Prince's back, "Don’t cry, don’t cry."

Upon receiving Little Bai’s response, the Little Prince, still sobbing, asked in a stutter, "Waaa... Little Bai, you’re not... not leaving me, are you?"

Little Bai paused for a moment, and he quickly shook his head, "I want you, I want you."

But in his heart, Little Bai suddenly felt a feeling of guilt. He couldn’t remember when he had done something like this. This honest child, feeling guilty and affected by the Little Prince’s crying, pouted, and his own tears began to fall.

Reassured by Little Bai’s promise, the Little Prince wrapped his tentacle around Little Bai. His cries quieted and turned into sniffles.

But as he continued to cry, the Little Prince suddenly looked down at his own legs in shock. He seemed to have fused with another tail as well.

The Little Prince hastily wiped his tears and looked at Little Bai with guilt, "I wasn’t deliberate, I had no choice back then..."

Little Bai’s eyes were brimming with tears, and when their eyes met, Little Bai’s tears rolled down his cheeks, and he cried loudly too.

The Little Prince panicked and patted Little Bai’s back repeatedly, "I didn’t mean to, when you disappeared, I was caught, and the tail was forced onto me. I didn’t abandon you. What about you?"

Little Bai hiccuped through his tears and reflexively answered, "I wasn’t deliberate either, I was mistaken."

Even the world’s most adorable Yolk was mistaken?

The Little Prince pouted and cried even more loudly.

Little Bai cried too.

After a while, the Little Prince hugged Little Bai tightly, "Little Bai, I forgive you."

Little Bai hugged him in return, "Yolk, I forgive you too."

In the end, the two toddlers, who had just learned to walk, hugged each other and cried loudly together, staging a grand reunion of star-crossed lovers.

Bai Xiaoyu, who initially didn’t understand what was happening, now couldn’t help but smile. Next to him, Bai Kan laughed like a hog, and the little golden tiger rolled on the ground. Big Black Egg and White Tiger remained the same as always.

However, from the conversation between the two, Bai Xiaoyu got a general idea. The term "Little Bai" reminded him of the scene he had seen in Qi Yanhuan’s belly, where a deep blue little tail was parasitizing the yolk.

Now, this tail must belong to the Little Prince. Originally one entity, they had been separated into two independent entities by a twist of fate, which could explain the Little Prince’s obsession with Little Bai and Little Bai’s dependence and protection of the Little Prince.

Although he wasn’t sure if his guess was correct, it was probably not far from the truth.

At this moment, the crying toddlers quickly reconciled and, holding hands, came over to Bai Xiaoyu, saying in unison, "White Papa, hungry."

Bai Xiaoyu silently took out an Insect Crystal and watched as the two kids quickly devoured the remaining Insect Crystal and looked at him expectantly again. He took out another hundred kilograms, which was quickly finished.

Bai Xiaoyu helplessly exchanged for another hundred kilograms of Insect Crystal. Even the system couldn’t stand it and offered him a discount on the next Insect Crystal exchange.

Fortunately, the third time they only ate a little and stopped, leaving most of it, about ninety kilograms.

Bai Xiaoyu looked at the two kids, who were hiccuping with red eyes, hoping his dear kids wouldn’t cry like this again.

The two little ones were typical cases of "only in, not out." All the food and energy they absorbed had been purified by their tentacles, filtering out the impurities. Every single hair on their bodies consumed energy when it fell, and the tears just now were naturally the same.

Just now, they cried for a bit and finished over 200 kilograms of Insect Crystal, so the pressure unexpectedly shifted to him.

Perhaps this was the cost of watching without intervening to calm the babies midway.

Well, such a situation is rare, occurring once in a thousand years, so it’s worth it.

After eating his fill, the Zerg Prince looked up at Bai Xiaoyu. With his memories restored, he recalled when his tentacle found Xiaobao in his mother’s womb and first met Bai Xiaoyu.

He tilted his head to examine Bai Xiaoyu. His true form had only been here for a short time, but he had actually been with Bai Xiaoyu in the form of a tentacle for over two months. His sense of familiarity and affection for Bai Xiaoyu grew instantly.

With Bai Xiaoyu having taken care of and hatched the little tail, the Zerg Prince now felt that before he left, he had to do something for Bai Xiaoyu and the little tail as repayment.

Bai Xiaoyu stroked his little head, “What is it? Do you have something to tell me?”

The Zerg Prince shook his head haughtily, “No.”

But Xiaobao wiped away his tears, smiled, and reached out his arms to Bai Xiaoyu.

Seeing the two little ones with such different attitudes, Bai Xiaoyu simply picked them both up. The Zerg Prince said he didn’t want to be held, but instinctively nestled a little closer to Bai Xiaoyu, though not as close as Xiaobao.

Bai Xiaoyu looked down at the two babies, “Can you tell me what’s going on?”

Xiaobao, who habitually sucked his fingers, seemed to think seriously for a moment before saying, “White Papa, I don’t know.”

A moment later, Xiaobao patted the Zerg Prince next to him and said to Bai Xiaoyu, “But Eggy knows.”

One thing was the little tail, but what about this ‘Eggy’ nickname?

Bai Xiaoyu initially thought he had misheard, but now he realized Xiaobao really did call the Zerg Prince Eggy.

His lips twitched, and he looked at the Zerg Prince, who now seemed helpless. This was their biggest secret; how could they just reveal it to someone else?

Seeing that the Zerg Prince didn’t respond, Xiaobao nudged him with his little hand, “Eggy, tell White Papa.”

The Zerg Prince sighed, “We were once one, Eggy and the little tail, but we were captured and separated.”

Bai Xiaoyu thought of the large tentacle he received from Old Qi and the eggs the Zerg Prince had spat out earlier. He already had a guess, but now he needed confirmation.

A fierce look flashed in the Zerg Prince’s eyes, which instantly turned black like dots, “His name is Bai Qi, Old Qi.”

As expected.

What did the Huang Family want with capturing a Zerg Prince?

Moreover, those eggs were also taken from the Huang Family’s lab.

Bai Xiaoyu’s gaze gradually turned cold, and Bai Kan shared the sentiment.

Bai Kan: “The Huang Family has gone too far. We need to determine why Bai Qi captured the Zerg Prince.”

Apart from informing the two legions, they couldn’t report it directly to the royal family just yet. After all, their intelligence wasn’t for show. Directly reporting to the source could easily expose them.

If they were exposed, the Zerg Prince might also be exposed. Therefore, they needed to plan carefully.

On the way back, while holding the two little ones, the little golden tiger repeatedly jumped onto Bai Xiaoyu’s shoulder, only to be pushed off each time by the Zerg Prince.

Bai Xiaoyu was a bit speechless. He had already noticed that when he held the Zerg Prince and Xiaobao, the little prince wouldn’t allow the tiger cubs to get close to them.

Bai Xiaoyu guessed wrong this time; the Zerg Prince didn’t want the little golden tiger close to Bai Xiaoyu. This was an instinct of the Zerg Prince to exclude other princes near the Insect Emperor. Xiaobao was probably just a little tail, so his instinct wasn’t as strong, but the Zerg Prince had this nature deep in his bones.

The Zerg Prince not only competes with and excludes other princes but, in severe cases, will also seize the opportunity to eliminate them.

Therefore, once the Insect Emperor has two princes, he will pay special attention to balancing their power. If the power gap between them becomes too large, a tragedy where one consumes the other will occur.

Now, the little golden tiger and the Little White Tiger are seen as competitors to the Zerg Prince, similar to other princes under the Insect Emperor. Previously, he didn't have the strength to take them down. Now that his strength has recovered, he's not sure about the Little White Tiger, but this little golden tiger, if given the chance, he could swallow in one bite.

The little golden tiger, completely unaware that he's been targeted, continues to bare his teeth at the Zerg Prince.

"Big Brother is mine, how dare this stranger push me?"

Of course, Bai Xiaoyu has also noticed the discord between them. Especially now, the Zerg Prince is far too dangerous.

The Zerg Prince can hunt silently, and if he ever has any ill intentions towards the people or the young ones here, the consequences would be dire. He must be warned and his actions restricted.

Bai Xiaoyu looked down at the Zerg Prince and said, "Little one, you cannot harm anyone here, whether it's the little golden tiger or anyone else. If you do, not only will I not give you any Insect Crystals, but I will also..."

Bai Xiaoyu looked at the innocent-looking Little Bai and the Zerg Prince's seemingly innocent expression, and swallowed the rest of his words, "In short, you can't hurt anyone unless they're bad people. If you deliberately harm an innocent person, even once, I will never give you any Insect Crystals again, and you will never see Little Bai again."

The Zerg Prince's expression finally changed. Not giving him Insect Crystals would be unbearable, but not letting him see Little Bai was absolutely unacceptable.

The Zerg Prince glanced at the constantly provoking little golden tiger and the Little White Tiger practicing with the mech, as well as Bai Kan and Big Black Egg, etc. He decided that before he and Little Bai made their escape, he wouldn't touch them.

Besides, the little golden tiger's size was so small it wouldn't even fill the gap between his teeth. Although it had high energy, it couldn't compare to Insect Crystals of the same volume. The Little White Tiger was more tempting, but whether he could defeat them was another matter.

Seeing the Zerg Prince nod, Bai Xiaoyu was satisfied but still cautious. The medicine and paint on the Zerg Prince contained his mental energy, so if the Zerg Prince planned anything, Bai Xiaoyu would know in advance.

With the Zerg Prince's promise secured, they began to head back. Bai Xiaoyu and Bai Kan started contacting the relevant people.

Meanwhile, Bai Qi and the masked man once again sensed the Zerg Prince's presence in the same direction as before.

They quickly ruled out some planets, and just as Bai Qi was getting frustrated searching these already checked planets, the masked man, thinking of Bai Xiaoyu's mental energy, marked D36 planet with a key symbol. While it's difficult for others to hide a Zerg Prince, he had a hunch that Bai Xiaoyu might be able to.

Perhaps he should take the opportunity to go there personally.

While Bai Xiaoyu was busy contacting the two legions, the Zerg Prince had already transformed into a blue mass in the room. He used his tentacles to lift his little tail, placing it on his head and tossing it up and down, with occasional laughter.

The Zerg Prince's black, dot-like eyes curved slightly into a crescent shape, clearly very happy.

Soon, the black, dot-like eyes circled, tossing Little Bai up, but this time without using his tentacles to catch him. Little Bai landed on the semi-transparent blue mass, creating a small dent that quickly bounced back, bouncing a few times at the top of the mass, showing excellent elasticity.

Little Bai liked this game and continued to bounce on the Zerg Prince's head.

The Zerg Prince allowed his little tail to play and even cooperated in various ways. But Little Bai accidentally stepped on a spot that gave the Zerg Prince a sudden headache.

At the same time, he began to faintly feel a certain call in his mind.

The Zerg Prince's black dot eyes widened. Although he had regained most of his memories, some were still missing, particularly the period when Bai Qi implanted the chip into his brain.

However, he did remember the moment before they implanted something.

Just now, Little Bai's foot happened to step on the corresponding position of the chip in his brain. This caused the chip to react. Now, stepping again, the chip was no longer in that position.

This thing is alive, and the Zerg Prince knew it clearly, but he had no way to deal with it at the moment.

He needed to find Bai Xiaoyu immediately.

The moment he realized this thought, the Zerg Prince froze in place. It was common for a prince to seek help from his Insect Emperor. Especially during the juvenile stage, unless harmed by another prince of the same Emperor, any harm inflicted upon a young prince, whether by insects or humans, would infuriate the Insect Emperor, resulting in the offender's destruction.

Yet, the instinct to seek help from Bai Xiaoyu was strange. After all, Bai Xiaoyu was not his Emperor.

The little prince's abnormal behavior was noticed by Little Bai as well. He slid down from his main body, looked at the black-dot-like eyes, and asked with a concerned look, "What's wrong?"

The blue blob growled a few times.

Little Bai understood and pulled one of the little prince's tentacles, saying, "Come on, let's go find Daddy White."

The blue blob retracted its tentacles and continued to growl.

Little Bai didn't let go, saying, "Come along."

Seeing that the little prince was still unwilling, Little Bai pointed at him and said, "Change... into human form."

The little prince immediately transformed into a young child, but as soon as he changed, he was picked up by Little Bai, who rushed outside.

Bai Xiaoyu had just hung up a call when he saw Little Bai, with the strength of a three-year-old, holding a huge, elephant-sized blue blob and trying to stuff it into his arms.

Before Bai Xiaoyu could react in shock, he quickly said, "Wait, I can't hold him."

The Big Black Ball in the room blocked his way and glanced back at Bai Xiaoyu, seemingly envious.

Bai Xiaoyu: "..."

Stop looking at me like that, even if I wanted to, I can't hold you right now.

At that moment, Little Bai released him, and the blue, elephant-sized blob crashed to the ground. Without the thick carpet, the impact would have caused an earthquake.

The blue blob coiled all its tentacles around itself. Even though it temporarily reverted to its original form and rolled on the ground, hoping Little Bai would relent, she didn't. Instead, Little Bai rolled up his sleeves and simply hoisted the little prince's true form onto his shoulder.

This was...

The little prince, unable to outmuscle his little tail, struggled but couldn't bring himself to use force. Once lifted, the little prince was on the brink of a breakdown.

Bai Xiaoyu looked at Little Bai's short, chubby arms and couldn't imagine how he had managed to lift such a massive creature, let alone without losing his breath.

Just as he was about to ask Little Bai why she had carried the little prince over like that, she pushed the little prince, who was pretending to be dead on the floor, toward him. Patting the little prince, she said, "Daddy White, there's something wrong with Egg Yolk's brain. Can you take a look?"
