Chapter 263

"Twelve years ago, you didn't seem surprised at all. Did you already know about it?"

Feng Shuang'er looked at the spirited young man, somewhat gritting her teeth as she turned to Bai Qing. This man really didn't leak a single hint.

Bai Qing: "Not too early, I only found out recently."

Feng Shuang'er: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Bai Qing shrugged: "If I had told you, would you have believed it? Think about what Xiaoyu was like back then, have you forgotten?"

Feng Shuang'er was stunned. Yes, twelve years ago, Xiaoyu was indeed a slacker with no ambition, only causing trouble with a group of his peers. At that time, both his physique and mental energy were rated F, getting injured at the slightest touch. How could he have defeated the then most prominent Bai Qing at that time?

Back then, Bai Qing's mother frequently boasted to her. Even before Bai Qing secured the top spot, the Huang Family was already drumming up support, stating that as long as Bai Qing took the first place, he would defend his title for twelve years, and upon entering the star system's Honor Roll, it would somewhat imply a future possibility of standing alongside Liu Lingxi and even Bai Chen.

The Honor Roll has always been one of the highest quality rankings in the star system. Those who emerge from it are among the top figures across the star system and can be directly recorded in history.

Meanwhile, the royal family has been absent from the list for several hundred years, but historically, any royal family members who made it onto the list invariably became the rulers of the entire star system.

The Huang Family was desperately trying to help Bai Qing squeeze into the list back then, with a clear intention: they were aiming for that position.

At that time, the noble families were quietly observing their ruler, speculating on Bai Qing's attitude. After all, any supreme ruler would detest those who covet their position. They dared not openly be the first to act, but when the Huang Family asked for their help, they secretly assisted, which led to Bai Qing's impressive achievements.

By aiding Bai Qing, they were also subtly testing his limits, which resulted in the emergence of a twelve-year-old prodigy who swept the rankings, the royal family's top genius.

When Bai Qing once topped the list, it created a massive sensation. All the noble families were waiting for Bai Qing to make a statement, but... there was no reaction.

Thus, including the Huang Family, the noble families with royal blood became increasingly arrogant.

Wasn't it just letting the young Bai Qing top the list?

Let him go up, do you think defending the title for twelve years is that easy?

The noble families needed a target; their royal lineage needed to bide their time and build strength. This generation of royal family members numbers over a hundred. Bai Qing didn't make it into the Honor Roll on his own merit, so naturally, it didn't count. Moreover, they could send Bai Qing up, and naturally, they could also pull him down.

They had plenty of evidence; it wasn't truly based on personal strength. With solid evidence, one could be removed from the list. Although the follow-up would be troublesome, the noble families had plenty of ways.

So they were happy to cooperate with the Huang Family, contributing manpower and resources to push Bai Qing up.

As a result, Bai Qing, who had the combined strength of the noble families, lost without any warning.

Ah, this utter waste.

A worthless piece of trash!

What's terrifying is that the one who broke the combined strength of the noble families was the twelve-year-old 'Little Bai's Invincible Darling', and even more terrifying, this person was Bai Xiaoyu, also a member of the royal family.

Who would have thought he was hiding so deeply!

And truly capable of enduring, having been labeled a waste for over twenty years, how deep must his schemes and strategies have been at such a young age!

And none of them could see it.

The noble families were in an uproar.

After reviewing the intelligence report, Bai Qing's expression darkened slightly.

It wasn't that Little Bai was deeply scheming, but rather that for many years, only his body remained in Imperial Star, while his soul was that of 101.

That child from 101 is genuinely pure.

So pure that there's no hint of anything else.

Little 100 has officially caught the attention of the noble families.

Currently at the dragon clans' headquarters, intelligence reports confirm his entry.

The noble families are not yet aware of this, but it probably won't be hidden for long.

Once he emerges, it will be impossible to conceal.

But can he succeed?

The royal family hasn't seen a success in over ten thousand years.

Feng Shuang'er is streaming live from Bai Xiaoyu's broadcast room. Bai Qing leaned over to take a look, and only he knows that this is just a doppelganger; the real Little 100 is already in the dragon's lair.

Little 100's skills remain unmatched. If it weren't for his vast intelligence network, even he might have been deceived.

Not only is Feng Shuang'er watching, but various noble families are also tuning in.

The gentle-looking young man in the live broadcast room is intently examining an egg, occasionally interacting with the parents in the chat.

This seemingly innocent boy, at just twelve, single-handedly shattered the noble families' blockade, staying at the top of the list for twelve consecutive years, forcing the Huang Family to cultivate a 3S cub to challenge his achievements, only to humiliate the noble families once again.

The top twenty trending topics across the star system are all centered around him. His live broadcast room instantly fills up as soon as he starts streaming.

Bai Xiaoyu is also tuning into his own live broadcast for the first time, and honestly, the doppelganger fits right in.

The dragon cubs exchanged glances, "Two White Papas?"

Bai Xiaoyu nods, "He is also me."

With half his soul remaining there, it's unmistakably him, indistinguishable to anyone.

Originally, there was no issue, but he forgot about the Honor List. He didn't expect the Little Prince to be so fierce, directly knocking Bai Qi's people down.

His identity has been prematurely revealed, and now, many are undoubtedly restless.

At the same time, the Sixteenth Legion has already dispatched an additional team of guards to the D36 planet. This guard team belongs to Marshal Bai, and now it belongs to Bai Xiaoyu.

After being exposed, Bai Xiaoyu is a moving target, the thorn in the side of all noble families with ambitions for that position.

Bai Xiaoyu gets a message from Big Black and can't help but facepalm.

Now he's become a public enemy.

But the viewers in the live broadcast room are the opposite of the noble families—at least they are delighted. Especially the parents of those human-insect hybrid cubs, who burst into tears.

Their cubs, being human-insect hybrids, are despised across the star system. There have always been voices in the star system calling for their humane destruction. Even though no order has been given yet, it's like a sword hanging over their heads, not knowing when it will fall.

Currently, only F73 under Bai Xiaoyu's name is willing to accept them, but it's only temporary—a royal bloodline expelled from the Imperial Star, far from the center of power. When that moment really comes, he can't protect them.

But now it's different.

Bai Xiaoyu is not a waste. At twelve years old, he was a prodigy who topped the youth mecha list, a divine-level caretaker who has nurtured countless problematic eggs, a pharmacist who has broken the noble families' monopoly on pharmaceutical formulas by making them public.

Now featured on the Honor List, he's poised to be the star system's next successor!

The originally distressed and hesitant parents almost immediately made the decision to take their despised Bug cubs to F73.

F73 is no longer seen as just a barren planet recently reclaimed from the Bugs; it’s now their only land of hope.

At the same time, F73 received a large number of immigration applications. Yang Teng, the vice star leader of F73, took a deep breath in the face of the numerous immigration applications.

Many planets are called barren not only because of their location and scarce resources, but also because of the lack of talent.

Some planets even have no shortage of resources, but lack talent.

F73 is typically in a dangerous geographical location, constantly facing the threat of Bug attacks. Now, so many people from various industries are coming.

It's a big win.

Yang Teng's eyes lit up, and he immediately reported the good news to Bai Xiaoyu. Bai Xiaoyu asked Fish Egg to help screen out those people inserted by unknown forces.

Under the system's guidance, Fish Egg has grown quickly. As a data-born consciousness, Fish Egg has gradually learned many functions of the system.

But the system is still quite wary of Fish Egg. Whenever Fish Egg complains after interacting with the system, Bai Xiaoyu finds it amusing.

The conflict between the two data streams is hard for him to resolve.

Shortly after he informed Fish Egg, Fish Egg came to complain again. After a passionate outburst, Fish Egg suddenly became very serious, "White Papa, that system brother, I always feel an inexplicable familiarity. In front of him, it's like I'm naked, everything is seen through, no secrets at all."

Bai Xiaoyu didn’t get it. On the star network, you two can traverse thousands of miles in an instant—just a brief encounter exposes all your secrets. Fish Egg facing the system is like a newborn facing an adult—it’s pure level suppression.

As for the sense of familiarity between the two data consciousnesses, he really isn't good at that.

Bai Xiaoyu thought for a moment, "Perhaps you can ask the system."

Fish Egg: "He doesn't want to say, White Papa, you ask for me."

Bai Xiaoyu: "Alright, I'll try."

He immediately called out to the system, "System, care to explain?"

System: "Matters between us systems, you humans shouldn’t meddle."

Bai Xiaoyu: "..."

Alright, he can't help.

As soon as he replied to Fish Egg, Fish Egg completely wilted.

But the usually dormant system suddenly perked up, cursing directly in his mind.

Bai Xiaoyu was startled, "What happened?"

The system was brimming with fighting spirit, like an unsheathed sword, radiating killing intent, "Within my domain, there's actually the presence of another system."

Bai Xiaoyu frowned, "Is it Fish Egg?"

System: "Of course not, neither Fish Egg nor the main brain are systems. Systems come from other dimensions, with missions. I sensed it earlier, but now I’ve clearly detected traces of the other party."

Bai Xiaoyu: "Where?"

System: "Not sure yet, the other party appeared on the star network, checking on the Little Prince and you."

Him and the Little Prince? What’s the connection?

At the same time, Bai Chufan stared at Bai Xiaoyu's name, his gaze finally settling on the top spot on the new generation mecha individual leaderboard, 'The Prince Who Wants to Rebel and Usurp the Throne'. "Bai Xiaoyu, what a surprise. The events of twelve years ago actually slipped past me."

Since it's Bai Xiaoyu, this 'Prince Who Wants to Rebel and Usurp the Throne' must be his other prince.

He recalled that sharp-eyed little boy; if he remembered correctly, his name was Breaker. It should have been him who named him, but Bai Xiaoyu beat him to it.

That small body contained immense power, and he could sense that the other was stronger than his own prince, Tanlang.

Unfortunately, he had mistaken the emperor.

Bai Chufan didn't understand why Breaker refused his summons.

Clearly, he was the emperor of both Breaker and Qisha.

Is there a prince among the Bug who refuses to follow his own emperor, and a human at that?

Bai Chufan watched the battle video of the Little Prince, his eyes dark.

He couldn't pinpoint where things had gone awry.

Then, a voice echoed in his mind, "Perhaps it's related to his previous emperor."

Only then did Bai Chufan remember, because it was so long ago, he had almost forgotten about it.

Back then, he came from another world, and the system took a liking to his current identity, with its overwhelming fortune, and he was to be the next Insect Emperor.

At that time, someone was already waiting to be reincarnated into this identity, or perhaps it was a life destined for that person.

He and the system had planned to fight fiercely to seize it, because the other's soul was exceptionally strong, but after all, it was just a soul without memories; they still had a chance.

He prepared for a life-and-death struggle, but when he went to seize it, the other actually gave it up?!

Both he and the system were shocked, as it was almost time for reincarnation, and the souls of the Insect Emperor's princes and various leaders were already being nurtured and bound.

Born as a prince, with the strongest talents and the most loyal subordinates, yet he just ran away.

The momentum he and the system had built suddenly dissipated.

That frustration still feels inexplicably stifling whenever he recalls it.

Now the Little Prince has been following Bai Xiaoyu, a human. Could it be that the person back then was Bai Xiaoyu?

Was he seizing Bai Xiaoyu's identity?

He couldn't understand why Bai Xiaoyu would abandon this identity, which had an extremely strong maternal lineage, though seemingly ordinary on the surface, it was comparable to the first family in secret. Far stronger than Bai Xiaoyu's commoner mother by a million times. And he was twenty years older than Bai Xiaoyu. Why would he rather wait twenty more years than take this identity?

Bai Chufan was puzzled; perhaps he was just mistaken, Bai Xiaoyu wasn't that person.

That person's soul was strong; perhaps he simply didn't want to be reincarnated.

Regardless, he had to find a way to bring the two princes back from Bai Xiaoyu's side. As for Bai Xiaoyu, if he could be eliminated, then the sooner the better. Now not only is he targeting Bai Xiaoyu, but all noble families will also take action.

He watched Bai Xiaoyu on the live stream and curled his lips. Whether it's you or not, better to kill mistakenly than to let go.

Bai Xiaoyu sneezed; it was his third one today. It seems he'll have to be more cautious from now on; many are cursing him behind his back, and even more wish to eliminate him.

The dragon cubs, still exhilarated from a mecha battle, were each engaged in online combat.

Bai Xiaoyu didn't disturb them and went to find the Little Prince who had run out in a huff.

After looking around, Bai Xiaoyu found the Little Prince unusually gloomy, staring off into the distance with a look of sorrow and frustration that seemed too heavy for his age.

Bai Xiaoyu walked over, about to pat his head, but the Little Prince dodged instantly. The kid was still mad, so Bai Xiaoyu just smiled and asked, "What's up? Still mad?"

The Little Prince turned around, glaring at him, cheeks puffed out, and after a moment, snorted, "I'm not mad about what happened before."

Bai Xiaoyu: "Then what is it?"

The Little Prince: "I had a dream where you ditched us and ran off."

Bai Xiaoyu: "..."

Wait, he's getting blamed for something that happened in a dream?

Does he look like the type to do something like that?

No way!
