Chapter 66: YeYe’s Outstanding Qualities.

Chapter 66: YeYe's Extraordinary Qualities.

"Do I stink?" Bai Yeye asked, puzzled, as he looked at the soldiers who were standing three meters away from him. Usually, everyone had breakfast together, but today they were keeping such a distance.

Gu Yuankai forced a smile: "Now that you're so high and mighty, we naturally don't deserve to eat at the same table as you."

In fact, they were afraid that Shen Yu would get jealous. Everyone knew how terrifying an alpha's possessiveness could be. Yesterday, they had only made one comment about Bai Yeye, and Shen Yu had punished them with extra training. If they ate at the same table today, Shen Yu would probably train them until they collapsed.

Bai Yeye rolled his eyes: "What nonsense are you talking? Hurry up and come over, or I'll ask Shen Yu to make you do extra training."

Gu Yuankai was the first to approach with a flattering smile: "Please don't. I still want to live to get married."

Bai Yeye grabbed an egg from his bowl. That's more like it.

Gu Yuankai didn't eat and just stared at him.

Bai Yeye looked up from his bowl, confused: "Why are you staring at me instead of eating? Is there something on my face?"

Gu Yuankai sighed: "Nothing much. I was thinking all night—what exactly are your extraordinary qualities that won you the General?"

"Hmm, did you figure it out?" Bai Yeye waited for a compliment.

"I did." Gu Yuankai patted his food bowl: "This outstanding quality is way over the top. Of all the people and animals I've met, no one can compare to you."

Bai Yeye grinned at him, baring his teeth: "This is my normal appetite. Who else is full after just two bowls like you, as skinny as a bamboo pole? No wonder no omega likes you!"

Gu Yuankai had a complicated look on his face. If he ate two bowls like Bai Yeye and still wasn't full, that would be abnormal.

"You little mangy dog." Wu Shao appeared behind Bai Yeye without anyone noticing.

"Stinky Old Man, what's up?" Bai Yeye was equally blunt.

Wu Shao was used to his attitude and didn't mind how he addressed him: "Come out with me to handle some matters."

It was rare for him to take the initiative to look for Bai Yeye. Bai Yeye stood up, wagging his tail, looking proud: "Looks like this YeYe is indispensable after all."

Wu Shao rolled his eyes: "Anyone would do. I just want to make your life difficult."

"... That damn Stinky Old Man, he always says such annoying things!"

Bai Ruoshui set off with them. When he saw Bai Yeye coming over, he hugged him: "Are you full?"

"I had three bowls of porridge, barely seventy percent full."

Wu Shao said sarcastically: "Eating so little? Something on your mind?"

"How did you know? Not being able to find the source is driving me crazy." Bai Yeye sighed.

Wu Shao: ...

He was actually being sarcastic, but Bai Yeye didn't catch it.

Bai Ruoshui gently patted Bai Yeye's back: "Big brother will take care of it. Right now, YeYe just needs to take care of himself, since he's still a growing boy."

Wu Shao covered his eyes with his hand: "Bai Ruoshui."

"What is it, Master?"

"Did you take that eye medicine I gave you?"

Bai Yeye said unhappily: "Big brother's eyes are fine. Why should he take medicine?"

"He can't even see a dog this big, and you say they're fine?"

Bai Ruoshui covered Bai Yeye's ears: "YeYe is just fluffy, not really fat. His body is actually very small."

"If you take the cube root of his weight, then cube root that, then cube root that again, he'd still be overweight."

"Stinky Old Man, you're going too far!" Bai Yeye couldn't take it anymore and lunged at him to bite him.

The spacecraft, which had been steady, started bobbing up and down, taking an extra ten minutes to reach their destination.

Today, they were at a rare medicinal herb auction. Wu Shao brought Bai Ruoshui to pay, and brought Bai Yeye in case they needed to snatch the herbs if funds ran short.

"See that Hundred-Eye Grass?" Wu Shao asked Bai Ruoshui.

"Yes."

"Buy a lot. We'll boil it and use it as an eye wash when we get back."

Bai Yeye ground his teeth: "Stinky Old Man, that's enough."

Bai Ruoshui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hurriedly led them into their private box, afraid they'd start a fight in public.

"Master, should we bid on all the herbs?" Bai Ruoshui didn't know what Wu Shao was thinking.

Wu Shao flipped through the auction catalog in front of him: "No. I'll tell you when to buy."

He already had all the herbs in the catalog. He was looking for ones that weren't listed.

If they were lucky, they might come across a once-in-a-lifetime rare herb. If not, it didn't matter—they'd just be wasting some time.

As the herbs were auctioned off one by one, Bai Yeye grew bored: "You guys bid. I'm going to ask the waiter for some cake."

"Be careful. Call big brother if anything happens." Bai Ruoshui patted his head. The venue wasn't that big, so there shouldn't be any problems.

As Bai Yeye walked out of the box, he brushed past a person in a hooded cloak.

Even though it was a normal encounter, Bai Yeye felt something was off and made a point to note the person's box number.

Coincidentally, it was right next to theirs.

After confirming, Bai Yeye continued downstairs to eat cake, not giving it a second thought.

By the time the auction was nearly over, he came back, burping contentedly. The cakes at this auction house were good, but a bit too rich. He could only get through twelve eight-inch cakes.

"Next up is the final herb, which might cause quite a stir. Please stay calm and bid respectfully!" The auctioneer unveiled the mysterious final herb.

As he said, guests in all the boxes seemed to stand up at once, and Bai Yeye heard the sound of chairs scraping in unison.

"This is the only intact Zangtian Lotus preserved to this day! I believe all guests here understand its value. Starting bid: one hundred million!"

With those words, all the boxes lit up, and the price skyrocketed.

Bai Yeye was stunned. What was this thing that made everyone bid like crazy?

Obviously, Bai Ruoshui's financial strength overshadowed everyone else. He won the herb for one billion.

The auction house, afraid of trouble, immediately sent twelve bodyguards to escort the herb to them after Bai Ruoshui paid. Once the herb was in Bai Ruoshui's hands, any loss or theft was no longer their problem.

Just as they were approaching their room, the door next to them suddenly swung open, and the cloaked figure from earlier scattered a handful of herbal powder. The guards immediately twisted their faces in pain and collapsed to the ground.

"Stop right there!" Bai Yeye certainly wouldn't let him take what Bai Ruoshui wanted.

Bai Ruoshui and Wu Shao also opened their door. Wu Shao picked up the herb that had fallen to the floor, but before he could even manage a smile, he heard a familiar voice.

"Senior brother, long time no see."

The smile on Wu Shao's face froze.

Bai Yeye's eyes went wide, "Grab him!"

This was the same mysterious person who had been plotting with the dead emperor in the cave last time—he remembered that voice! If they could catch this person, maybe they could get to the source of it all.
