Chapter 191

Lü Fei poked his head over anxiously and asked, "Is my partner okay?"

Bai Xiaoyu: "He's fine, and he's watching you with a lot of energy."

Upon hearing this, Lü Fei swung his dragon tail, "Looks like he loves this tossing game. Let's do it again!"

Bai Xiaoyu: "Don't..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the egg reappeared on the ceiling, wedged in place.

Bai Xiaoyu sighed. He had always known that dragons doted on their cubs, but he never expected they'd raise them this way. Or was it just Lü Fei?

Luckily, he stopped it just in time, preventing the little dragon egg from getting stuck in the ceiling again.

The egg was unharmed, and in the next moment, it transformed back into a bug cub, opening its mouth as if it wanted to swallow the person outside.

Unfortunately, it couldn't hatch yet, and there was nothing it could do against Lü Fei from inside the egg.

When he felt the dragon cub's presence fade, Lü Fei panicked, clutching the egg and shaking it violently. When no transformation occurred, he hurriedly went to Bai Xiaoyu. "The dragon cub's presence is gone again, did I break it by shaking too hard? I shouldn't have used so much force, but our dragon clan's cubs, especially my partner, shouldn't be so fragile, right?"

Bai Xiaoyu cleared his throat, "Lü Fei, didn't I tell you before that these eggs have two forms? One is the bug form, and the other is the dragon form. He's just temporarily transformed."

Lü Fei had a sudden realization, "That makes sense! Oh, and Bai Bai, can you still call me Xiao Lü? It feels too formal otherwise."

Bai Xiaoyu: "Sure, if you don't mind the nickname from when you were little."

Lü Fei: "Of course, I don't mind."

After saying that, he hugged the egg with his dragon claws and shook it again, "Little dragon, transform back. Why act like a bug when you're a dragon?"

Bai Xiaoyu's mental energy threads probed inside and found that the usually laziest and most low-key cub seemed unusually irritated. The surrounding barbs straightened, and the wide-open mouth suddenly revealed a row of tiny white dots, looking like newly sprouted baby teeth, clearly preparing to attack.

Unfortunately, the strength difference was too great, and for now, it could only tremble in frustration, its tiny mental threads quivering against the eggshell.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyu said, "Xiao Lü, go easy."

Lü Fei: "I'm already being gentle, Bai Bai, don't worry. Our clan's eggs and cubs are naturally strong from the start. The eggshell is similar to our dragon scale armor. At this stage of development, this level of attack is no problem for the eggshell or the cub inside."

Bai Xiaoyu thought about the thick eggshell, and indeed, apart from the Big Black Egg, he hadn't encountered any eggs with shells as thick, dense, and hard as these.

Fortunately, after his excitement, Lü Fei stopped messing with the egg. He quickly came to his senses from his joy, "I need to tell Uncle Long about this."

After he left, the egg was finally liberated.

The egg silently rolled back into its incubation compartment and began to frenziedly absorb the nutrient solution, seemingly trying hard to grow and prepare to redeem itself next time.

Looking at the determined egg, Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help but find it funny. Winning against Xiao Lü was going to be a long journey.

The other eggs watched as Bai Xiaoyu let Lü Fei leave, and though they were disappointed, they didn't protest.

Feeling a bit soft-hearted at the suddenly well-behaved eggs, Bai Xiaoyu knew he couldn't act against Lü Fei. So, he took out some potions and directly refilled these cubs.

Cubs, eat this instead of staring at Lü Fei.

While the eggs were no longer causing trouble, he turned to check on the other eggs. These eggs were also fully mobile now.

Seeing him approach, the eggs started bouncing, rubbing against his palm.

The egg he was examining was one of the twelve rescued by the Sixteenth Legion. Some were more severely damaged, with three requiring the use of white bone flowers, while the others were in better condition, making them easier for him to repair now.

This particular egg under his care had the most blood patterns and an attractive shape. More importantly, it was very healthy and lively.

Although these eggs went missing during the war, they were fortunate enough to be evacuated and rescued in time due to early warnings, and their parents were still alive.

He had previously contacted their parents through the mainframe, who were so excited that they started making their way here even before the enlightenment period began.

As Bai Xiaoyu was checking each egg one by one, the other twelve eggs were peering curiously from a distance.

Soon, Bai Xiaoyu noticed that after being well-fed and watered, eleven of the twelve eggs, each followed by another egg they shared a room with, moved in unison towards different sections of the breeding facility.

Bai Xiaoyu watched as these eggs found their respective compartments and wondered what they were up to. Suddenly, one of the eggs bounced up.

This startled the egg inside the compartment, which almost immediately charged at the intruder, and the two eggs began to fight.

Fearing the eggs might hurt each other, he hurried over.

As he approached, he noticed that the egg that had followed the intruder was now acting like a lookout, bouncing lightly and tapping the compartment three times when he came near.

The aggressive egg inside paused its movements.

Good heavens, they even know how to warn each other.

The egg outside also hopped up to him, rubbing against his leg as if trying to hold him back.

Was Bai Xiaoyu someone who could be stopped by an egg?

He playfully tapped the egg a few times and continued toward the mischievous one.

The egg not only didn't calm down but intensified its efforts. Fortunately, the little one knew its limits and didn't harm the other eggs.

Bai Xiaoyu scooped up the bouncing creature, stroking the slightly agitated egg that wanted to continue fighting, gradually soothing it. This egg was the same blood-patterned small blood egg he had touched before, and the mischievous little guy in his arms was the egg corresponding to the beautiful vortex he had chosen to protect and nurture, then tear apart and devour.

He patted the egg's body, wondering what it was up to.

Holding the non-struggling egg, he steadily placed it back in its nest. He then put the lookout companion egg, which had been following him closely, inside as well.

With his current physical condition, carrying these eggs wasn't much of a strain anymore.

Turning around, he noticed that he had only brought back one troublemaking duo, while eleven other mischievous eggs were already engaged in fights. Except for one egg without a lookout, all the others had one.

Resigned, he picked them up one by one, emphasizing that they mustn't hurt the other eggs.

The Little Prince came over with the little treasure, nodding slightly at the scene, "These guys have finally started, haven't they?"

Bai Xiaoyu turned, "Xiao Pujun, what's going on with them?"

The Little Prince looked at him with a strange expression, "You don't know again? They are your major leaders. Don't worry; you treat these eggs so well, and they see it. They will be classified as your 'insects,' but these 'insects' haven't formed factions yet. They will naturally try to recruit others to join their factions."

He then explained that the twelve major leaders of the insect race had been seeking their subordinates from a young age. Even the major leaders needed to start from the bottom, slowly swallowing and building their forces, with the young insects around them being their initial targets.

Bai Xiaoyu found it somewhat amusing and frustrating to suddenly become a major leader of the insect race. He wasn't the Insect Emperor, and even if these young ones were major leaders, they had nothing to do with him.

However, he now understood that these twelve eggs had started recruiting and forming their own groups.

Just as the eggs finished their antics, Lüfei returned, "Bai Bai, Uncle Long is looking for you. Can you set a time to meet?"

Bai Xiaoyu was taken aback, recalling the purple-black uniformed general he had met before, and nodded, "Sure."

Another ten minutes passed, and Lüfei ran back again, "Bai Bai, Uncle Chiyuan Long is looking for you and wants to set up a meeting."

Bai Xiaoyu: "Alright."

After a while, "Bai Bai, Uncle Lanjian Long is looking for you..."

"Bai Bai, Uncle Jinfeng Long is looking for you..."

"Bai Bai..."

Bai Xiaoyu looked at the eleven admirals who needed to schedule meetings and thought that one more would complete the set. "Lüfei, could you please ask if the admirals would mind meeting together?"

Lüfei quickly replied to Bai Xiaoyu, "Bai Bai, they agree. They want to know if you're available now. It's best to have the venue here and open the holographic scene so they can see the eggs."

Bai Xiaoyu: "Alright."

As soon as Bai Xiaoyu activated the holographic communication, he found that Lüfei had already brought everyone over.

Instantly, twelve tall admirals in uniform appeared, their gazes all falling on Bai Xiaoyu.

Bai Xiaoyu greeted them, "Greetings, Admirals."

When Chiyuan saw Bai Xiaoyu, he walked straight over, "Little one, you've grown so much. You were so cute when you were a cub. Why do you look so frail?"

Bai Xiaoyu smiled, about to answer, when suddenly a ball rolled out from the incubation compartment behind him.

Then another one followed, and soon twelve eggs rolled towards the other compartments, each trying to invade the nests of the other eggs, quickly getting into fights with them.

Bai Xiaoyu felt a headache coming on. These eggs had only been returned to their respective nests half an hour ago, and now they were causing trouble again.

The generals present watched with great interest; their offspring should be like this. After all, from a young age, they had to beat others into submission, from peers to adult humans and then to the strongest warriors in the legion. They had to use their strength to make others submit willingly before they could be accepted by the entire legion.

Starting so young, finding eggs of their own age to fight, this style truly resembled them.

Though this aura was as unpleasant as ever.

Bai Xiaoyu was unaware of the generals' thoughts. He simply watched as these twenty eggs divided the area among themselves, claiming territories and planning to suppress others with force.

He was puzzled that despite not seeing much discussion beforehand, they all rushed towards individual eggs in unison.

Bai Xiaoyu watched as these eggs chased other ordinary hatchlings, but these hatchlings were not Zerg, so naturally, there was no response. Some even found it annoying, especially the hatchlings from the two legions, who had already rolled out of their incubation compartments, being pursued by the eggs behind them.

Bai Xiaoyu watched the three groups of eggs circling around him in pursuit, revealing an expression of helplessness.

These hatchlings, usually so docile, were actually putting in such effort.

At this moment, a general in a purple-black uniform focused on one of the eggs being chased and spoke: "Little one, Xiao Fei mentioned that this egg emitted the aura of a Purple Dragon, and now it has switched forms again. Is this true? Also, how did you find our genes? Was it through the Sixteenth Legion? Have we confirmed that they are indeed our hatchlings?"

Bai Xiaoyu nodded: "His first formed shape is that of a dragon, and his second form is... a Zerg. Your genes were replicated from the main brain's gene bank and verified. These hatchlings' genes do come from each of you."

Bai Xiaoyu instructed a small robot to forward the genetic test results.

Upon receiving confirmation, the expressions of those present changed slightly, but they quickly recovered. For now, they needed to set aside the issue of exposed genes. What was most important was that these eggs, according to the genetic tests, were indeed their eggs.

However, they did not feel a direct connection to these eggs, and more importantly, half of the eggs contained Zerg blood!

Observing the expressions of the generals, Bai Xiaoyu noticed that they were even colder than Green Fei had been.

But since they hadn't immediately ordered the destruction or reported the situation, it indicated that the generals of the Twelfth Legion had a high tolerance for their hatchlings.

Since that's the case, with everyone gathered here now, he took the opportunity to speak up: "The enlightenment will take place in half a month. Will you all be able to come? If you really can't make it, I can help them with their enlightenment."

The scene fell silent instantly. Chi Yan, the most impatient one, reluctantly tore his gaze away from his egg, "We cannot leave our guarded star domain at will."

The other admirals also nodded slightly.

At this moment, Admiral Blue Sword Dragon asked, "Their offspring have two forms. Does that mean my offspring will exist in both forms simultaneously? Half dragon, half insect?"

Bai Xiaoyu replied, "No, your egg contains twins. There are two different forms of offspring inside."

Admiral Blue Sword Dragon was taken aback, "Twins? Are you saying I have two babies at once?"

Bai Xiaoyu nodded, "Yes."

Suddenly, Admiral Blue Sword Dragon burst into laughter again, "Did you hear that? My offspring are actually rare twins in the clan after thousands of years!"

He turned to look at the other admirals with a proud grin, "Since none of you plan to come, then cover for me. I'll see if I can sneak over. Don't worry, I'll take good care of your offspring too."

Ignoring the other admirals' piercing gazes, he squatted in front of his egg and laughed foolishly.

Bai Xiaoyu watched as the other admirals clenched their fists behind him, their faces filled with murderous intent, and couldn't help but feel that he would be hit any second.
