Chapter 275

Chapter 275

Bai Xiaoyu came out and noticed that Yang Teng's expression when looking at him and Big Black was quite complicated.

Was there something on his and Big Black's faces?

Soon, Yang Teng adjusted his emotions and said, "Our planet is under comprehensive sanctions. What should we do now?"

Bai Xiaoyu replied, "Then we should develop all industries comprehensively. Didn't you say before that we have gathered talents from all walks of life? Whether F73 becomes the most comprehensive planet in the star system depends on you, Vice Star Leader."

Bai Xiaoyu added, "Don't worry, I will use the royal family's resources to help you as much as possible."

Yang Teng felt a surge of passion, "Then I'll give it a try."

While others were dating, he was single, so he threw himself into building F73.

He began to investigate the parents who came with the dragon cubs, striving to complete his grand plan as soon as possible.

After seeing Yang Teng off, Big Black went to handle military affairs, while Bai Xiaoyu took Little Prince Xiao Bao and Huang Yu through a wormhole to a neighboring planet, as the dragon cubs had taken their subordinates to conquer territories overnight.

They split up, making sure no leader stepped into another's territory. They also chose directions and routes carefully to avoid encounters as much as possible.

The dragon cubs had been itching to explore these places, and now, with leaders at their side, they charged ahead.

In less than three days, they had successfully occupied hundreds of planets.

They didn't even encounter the major leaders of other Bug Emperors, making it extremely smooth.

Weren't Bai Chufan's major leaders supposed to be here too?

It seems the direction was wrong, but this star system is vast, covering one-third of the entire galaxy.

Bai Xiaoyu had plans. The dragon cubs were unlike any other race. If the major leaders led the cubs to conquer this star system, it would become their future home once he gained real power.

Bai Xiaoyu kept this plan to himself for now, keeping it under wraps. After all, the future is full of uncertainties, and he would wait until it was realized before telling the cubs.

It seems the cubs also like it here.

Earlier, Bai Xiaoyu had sent a mental energy tentacle to follow them. As the leaders entered this star system, with subordinates following and various Bug races from the training planets to fight and devour, they were already close to their third metamorphosis. Now, they began to transform, and more than one at that.

Just ten seconds after leaving, he received a message from the mental energy tentacle.

When he arrived, the dragon cub in the form of a Blood Fury Tyrant Dragon was rolling around in pain. Huang Yu immediately gave the molting cub an injection.

Gradually, it stopped rolling and howling, and its skin began to shed. Its form slowly changed, eventually becoming a red-armored, sharp-armed Flame Beetle.

Bai Xiaoyu looked at the peacefully sleeping Flame Beetle and sighed in relief.

Despite its sleepy demeanor and odd looks, it was the fiercest fighter among the Bug leaders.

From that moment, Bai Xiaoyu kept moving, taking Huang Yu from one planet to the next. In just two days, all the dragon cubs completed their third metamorphosis.

The second was Zhilong Ba, whose Bug form was a Three-Eyed Worm. Cunning, he was the strategist among the leaders.

The third was the Ironclad Giant Dragon, whose Bug form was an Ironclad Grasshopper, specializing in defense.

...

The last was the purple Blood Fury Tyrant Dragon, whose Bug form was a beautiful purple butterfly. But it was at least twenty to thirty meters tall, and its wings shed powder with every flap. It mainly served as the commander among the leaders when the emperor and prince were absent.

The other creatures are also quite large, spanning dozens to hundreds of meters or even more.

Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help but wipe his face.

This wasn’t the end—next came the deputy leaders, who looked even more bizarre.

With all the transformations completed, Bai Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was secretly relieved he wasn’t a Bug. The little dragon cubs were far more appealing, while the Bug forms were just plain weird.

He didn’t show it in front of the cubs, except for his disciple; among the other cubs, he only favored their dragon forms.

Bai Xiaoyu thought quietly to himself.

Fortunately, after the cubs completed their third transformation, the situation stabilized.

They all, like Huang Yu, became teenagers of sixteen or seventeen. With half dragon clans' bloodline, they all appeared taller than his 183 cm at a glance.

Bai Xiaoyu sighed; he wouldn’t compare himself to the dragon clan’s cubs.

Not only did they grow taller, but their temperaments also changed, transitioning from children to teenagers almost overnight.

Even though the Bug look bizarre, their growth is nothing short of miraculous. Not only do their Bug forms grow, but they also drive the other half of their dragon clans' bloodline to reach a sub-adult state.

Now, with the combination of both powers, their strength has reached seventy percent of the twelve dragon generals.

That’s a scary thought, especially since the dragon generals are centuries older, and dragons take at least a hundred years to mature.

And how long have they been out of their shells?

Looking at them, Bai Xiaoyu thought of the Bug that have been at odds with the star system's forces for years. No wonder they couldn’t be eradicated, as their growth doesn’t require much time, and they are strong and numerous.

If it weren’t for the resilience of the star system's inhabitants, their large and powerful population, and the constant protection by the strong, the star system would have been swallowed by the Bug long ago.

He silently saluted the army that had defended the star system for so long.

Yet the noble families of the star system turned a blind eye to their sacrifices, indulging in selfish, despicable acts.

Bai Xiaoyu's eyes turned cold; one day, he would cleanse the rot within the empire.

As the cubs grew into sub-adults, their personalities gradually became independent, not as clingy as before, allowing him to leave a few mental connections behind and leave with peace of mind.

He planned to temporarily leave the mothership at F73 and called Tao Limeng over.

When Tao Limeng showed up, he groaned, “You’ve had me running all over the place this month. This better be good.”

Bai Xiaoyu: “It’s about the mothership of the twelve dragon generals. Come and see if there’s suitable material to repair it.”

Tao Limeng: “Wow, it’s really a millennia-old mothership. Step aside.”

Only then did Bai Xiaoyu remember that Tao Limeng had mentioned a surprise in their previous call. “What was the surprise you mentioned?”

Tao Limeng, buried in his study of the mothership, finally looked up after a while. “Oh, didn’t you ask me to check out those ten abandoned planets?”

Tao Limeng pulled out ten small, dusty planets and chuckled. “Guess what I found?”

Bai Xiaoyu: “They’re not just waste planets, tell me!”

The shady dealings of the past still weighed on his mind.

Tao Limeng: "The outer layers of these ten planets are all coated with the mud you scraped from the Insect Crystals, which can block all detection. It must have been deliberately applied by some prince. Beneath the isolation layer is a rock layer, filled with rare material ores in between."

As he spoke, he took out an unrefined piece, touched the ore, and then touched the mothership.

His eyes widened in surprise, "They seem to be the same material!"

Bai Xiaoyu was completely stunned.

"Are all the ores on those ten planets like this?"

Tao Limeng patted his chest, "Trust me, they all are!"

Bai Xiaoyu: "So how much do we need to repair these motherships?"

Tao Limeng: "Think bigger. Not only can we repair these, but we could also build a hundred more motherships like these without any problem."

Bai Xiaoyu gave Tao Limeng a hard slap on the shoulder, "It's all on you, Tao Limeng. From now on, when our mothership fleet goes into battle, we can use one and toss another!"

Tao Limeng nodded vigorously, yes, that's how rich and powerful we are!

After handing over the task to Tao Limeng, Bai Xiaoyu and Big Black Egg headed back, because in ten days, the lease of his puppet clone would expire. He needed someone to look after the thirty leader eggs he had.

Just as he was leaving F73, he received a call from Molin and Mo Yan.

Bai Xiaoyu and Big Black Egg exchanged looks, "Got any news from your end?"

Previously, they had the Dawn team use purple bees to track down the lost genes of the dragon clans while delivering medicine. Ye Yang, as an undercover agent, had tagged the genes that were sent away. Did they have news?

Molin: "We found the Huang Family base where the dragon genes were sent. Ye Yang was with us, but he's disappeared."

Bai Xiaoyu frowned, "Have you looked for him?"

Molin: "We did, but we couldn't find him."

Mo Yan added: "This is indeed the Huang Family's base, but we seem to have been exposed. The dragon genes with our marks were directly destroyed, and the research base was completely cleaned out before we arrived."

Bai Xiaoyu: "In that case, stop searching. You guys head back first, and stay safe."

Mo Yan: "Okay."

As for Ye Yang, they had already searched and done their best.

If something really happened to him, there was nothing they could do.

Bai Xiaoyu and Big Black Egg, along with the Little Prince and Little Bai, were escorted back by a team of dragon guards in a mothership.

The other eleven motherships remained at F73, where the dragon guards would take the newly metamorphosed leaders to mine the ore planets.

Those ten ore planets were originally on the edge, just next to this area. With a little movement, they could launch an emergency attack from F73.

The dragon cubs, along with the Bug, were setting up wormhole transmission points on those ten ore planets, quietly transporting the mined ores back through the wormholes. There were always dragon guards on duty, and if anything went wrong, they could immediately support through the wormholes.

In short, the dream of a full carrier fleet would definitely come true.

Of course, Bai Xiaoyu was now looking at the holes in the mothership and chuckling, not caring one bit.

Suddenly, his optical brain flashed.

He glanced at it—it was Ye Yang!

Bai Xiaoyu immediately answered, "Ye Yang, where are you? Are you okay?"

Ye Yang: "I'm fine. I've made a big discovery. Here's a coordinate, come and pick me up."

Soon, Bai Xiaoyu found Ye Yang at the given coordinates. Ye Yang was on a deserted planet, looking completely unharmed, but Bai Xiaoyu's gaze was drawn to rows of eggs on the ground. "What are these..."

The Little Prince and Little Bai walked over earlier. The Little Prince touched them, "No doubt, these are all hybrid leader eggs, a mix with dragon clans. There are 55 here, plus the 30 you're currently incubating, and the batch of little dragon cubs that have already hatched, making a total of 109. Congrats, you've managed to collect all the Bug leaders."

Bai Xiaoyu was stunned, "No way."

He stepped forward and touched these seemingly lifeless eggs, "They are all leader eggs, but why do they seem so weak?"

If it weren't for his sensitive mental energy, he would have thought these were lifeless, silent eggs.

Ye Yang: "That's exactly why these eggs were dumped in the trash, probably meant to be destroyed, but I found them."

The Little Prince stepped forward, his eyes suddenly fierce, "These eggs contain my toxin, it's Bai Qi, the guy who wanted to control me back then."

The Little Prince's gaze grew colder, "I want to rip him to shreds."

Bai Xiaoyu patted the Little Prince's shoulder, "Don't worry, I've got your back."

Suddenly, Bai Xiaoyu and the Little Prince both turned to look at Ye Yang, who realized he had been discovered. His eyes instantly turned golden, "Long time no see, Bai Xiaoyu."

Bai Xiaoyu: "You again!"

Yuan Liu spread his hands: "Who else could it be?"

Yuan Liu: "Relax, aren't you glad I'm helping you complete the leaders?"

Bai Xiaoyu: "Why?"

Yuan Liu smiled: "Whether it's your pharmaceutical suppliers or your medical teams, they're all named 'Spark', right? 'Spark', that's a good name. And I happen to share your idea."

Yuan Liu pointed at Bai Xiaoyu, "We are in a life-and-death struggle with the Empire. When that day comes, if I lose, these eggs will be the spark. I can't stand coexisting with other interstellar races, but these hybrids can. At least the Bugs won't be completely extinct."

Yuan Liu continued: "I didn't touch your two sneaky subordinates, that's me giving you face, and this Ye Yang, I knew he was your man when I was controlling the dragon clan's military doctor, that guy who's already gone mad. I didn't plan to touch him either, he might just have a little brain damage, lying around for a year or so. By the way, since you've cultivated so many leaders, I'll tell you something, everything about the Huang Family, including the appearance of the hybrid leaders, was guided by me behind the scenes."

Finally, Yuan Liu glanced at Bai Xiaoyu, "Goodbye."

The former emperor of the Bugs, he didn't know why the other had abandoned the Bug identity, but he wouldn't mistake the mental energy that was of the same origin.

If you think this can lead the Bugs on a new path, he will respect that, but he also has his own path to follow.

Not harming you is the most mercy I can offer.
