Chapter 83: The Man Who Wants to Be Galactic Overlord

Chapter 83: The Man Who Wants to Be the Galactic Overlord

"That's not right, aren't you from the Merfolk clan?" Gu Yuankai looked at Bai Yeye in confusion. Why was he just as shocked? Shouldn't he know Bai Ruoshui by now?

Bai Yeye's heart clenched: "I am, so what?"

"Then don't you know that the Prince Consort is most likely to become the next clan leader?"

"I know that, but it doesn't mean I knew he could fight... Actually, I was just pretending, haha, I knew he was very strong." Bai Yeye let out a dry laugh.

He had always believed Bai Ruoshui became a candidate because he was gentle, kind, and beautiful.

But those words weren't good traits among merfolk. They didn't need gentle and kind people, because being gentle and kind would only make them easy prey for other species. As for being beautiful, all merfolk were stunningly attractive; how could Bai Ruoshui become a candidate just because he was the prettiest?

Merfolk only revered strength. They firmly believed only the strong could lead their clan. Bai Ruoshui had already defeated all his competitors before he came of age. But Bai Yeye was still young back then, and his family didn't let him know about these matters.

Gu Yuankai was half-convinced. Why did this great beauty seem so strange?

Inside the room, Bai Ruoshui slit Tu Bang's throat with his dagger, but he applied very light pressure—not enough to kill him instantly. Instead, Tu Bang lay on the ground watching his own blood flow out, slowly degenerating into a half-beast state.

Bai Ruoshui photographed the beast form Tu Bang had revealed, satisfied with his dying and messy appearance. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll spread these photos around, let everyone see what a nation's monarch looks like as a half-beast. Oh, and you can tell them I did this. I don't mind."

For a prideful alpha, being beaten into a half-beast form was already incredibly humiliating—let alone being reduced to this state by an omega. Tu Bang would rather die than let anyone know Bai Ruoshui was responsible.

Bai Ruoshui took out some alcohol to disinfect his fair, slender hands. After disinfecting, he unscrewed the cap and poured the liquid onto Tu Bang's wounds.

The intense stinging sensation made Tu Bang struggle wildly. Bai Ruoshui smiled: "If you bully Yuanzhou again in the future, I'll personally peel off your skin. And I can guarantee that after peeling it off, you'll still be wide awake."

He walked out of Tu Bang's room. Bai Yeye and Gu Yuankai tried to sneak away, shrinking back, but he called out to them.

"Xiaobai, didn't your big brother tell you not to do dangerous things?" Bai Ruoshui's tone was still gentle, but Gu Yuankai and Bai Yeye broke out in goosebumps.

"I... I just couldn't stand him bullying Brother Yuanzhou. I wanted to stand up for Brother Yuanzhou." Bai Yeye dared not meet Bai Ruoshui's eyes.

Gu Yuankai also forced himself to say, "This was all my idea, please don't be angry, Prince Consort."

Bai Ruoshui wasn't really mad at them; he was worried Bai Yeye might get into trouble.

"Go back." He didn't want to scold Bai Yeye in front of Gu Yuankai.

Bai Yeye took his arm and leaned against him: "Brother is amazing."

Bai Ruoshui tapped his little head: "Scared?"

He had never used violence in front of Bai Yeye, afraid of frightening his fragile little brother.

Bai Yeye shook his head excitedly: "Not scared! Brother Ruoshui, let's tie up Brother Longrui and tickle him next time, okay?"

On his own, he couldn't beat Long Rui. But with Bai Ruoshui, maybe it was possible.

Bai Ruoshui chuckled softly: "Talking nonsense again."

They returned to the base entrance. Bai Yuanzhou and Shen Yu had also returned from eavesdropping. From their expressions, things seemed to have gone well.

"Where did you go?" Bai Yuanzhou noticed they had also just returned and asked immediately.

Bai Ruoshui stepped forward and took his hand: "Just took care of a small matter."

Bai Yuanzhou kissed his cheek, then said to Gu Yuankai: "Don't let my wife go out to handle things in the future. He's so fragile—what if he gets hurt?"

Gu Yuankai's forehead was dotted with cold sweat. Your wife could knock me out with one punch. I'd be in trouble long before he would.

"I went out on my own; it has nothing to do with Yuankai. Are you tired? Let's go back and rest."

Bai Yuanzhou happily nestled into him: "Okay."

Gu Yuankai swallowed as he watched them walk away: "Good thing, good thing..."

"What's good?" Bai Yeye asked curiously.

"Good thing the Prince Consort has a good temper. If his temper were a little worse... hmm, I dare not imagine how the Emperor of Romar gets through his days. I've heard the Empress of Romar is very fierce."

Gu Yuankai used to envy the Emperor of Romar and Bai Yuanzhou for marrying such beautiful spouses. Now he didn't dare to envy them. If they had a fight, wouldn't his skin get peeled off?

Bai Yeye replied: "It's not as scary as you think. The Empress of Romar has a bad temper but isn't unreasonable. After a quarrel, they just go to sleep and feel better afterward. Oh, I mean actual sleep, not sex. Um, Shen Yu, what are you doing?"

Shen Yu grabbed Bai Yeye by the collar and dragged him toward the cafeteria.

"Eat. Why talk so much?"

Even though he knew Bai Yeye and Gu Yuankai weren't involved, General Shen still felt a little uncomfortable.

He watched Bai Yeye finish one bowl of rice and tried to refill his bowl.

"No, no more. I can't eat anymore." Bai Yeye's appetite was indeed very small now. No wonder his family thought he ate too little.

Shen Yu didn't force him: "Go rest."

"You too. Come find me anytime." Bai Yeye wanted to play with him but was afraid of disturbing him, so he excused himself.

"Mm."

Shen Yu returned to his office and found Bai Yuanzhou, Bai Ruoshui, and Long Rui inside.

"What's the matter?" Shen Yu closed the door.

Bai Ruoshui got straight to the point: "You must have figured it out, General."

"Yes, I have."

Bai Yeye's story was full of holes; it was hard for Shen Yu to miss. Still, he found it hard to believe that his pet Samoyed could also be a merfolk.

Bai Yuanzhou was still confused: "What are you talking about?"

Having already gotten permission from both of his fathers, Bai Ruoshui wasn't afraid to tell Bai Yuanzhou: "Yeye is Xiaobai."

"Xiaobai? Isn't he your cousin?"

"He... is my biological younger brother."

Bai Yuanzhou suddenly understood: "You have a fourth sibling in your family? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"

Long Rui massaged his forehead. Why did he ever agree to let his brother marry this blockhead?

Bai Ruoshui laughed. Yuanzhou was just too adorable.

Bai Yuanzhou swallowed: "Don't tell me Bai Yeye is Long Tianao?"

He wasn't really dumb; he was just like Shen Yu—unable to believe that the legendary Long Tianao was the same Bai Yeye who only cared about eating and goofing off.

Yes.

Bai Yuanzhou was dumbfounded, and even Shen Yu looked conflicted.

Although he had mentally prepared himself for a long time, the moment it was confirmed still felt incredibly surreal.

He used to be a man who wanted to become the Galactic Overlord.

Now, he is still a man who wants to become the Galactic Overlord.

Same pronunciation, different meaning. (In Chinese, the phrase 'Galactic Overlord' sounds identical but the intended meaning has shifted.)
