Part 3
The egg cub tried to lead the rabbit cub through the encirclement, attempting to flee the heavily guarded palace.
Suddenly, the egg cub hit a barrier that directly broke his ability, forcing him to manifest in mid-air.
The egg cub couldn’t speak, but the rabbit cub, who could sense the egg cub’s thoughts to an extent, let out a cry: “Da da da waah ao!” (QAQ!)
With eyes full of tears, the rabbit cub hugged the egg cub tightly and looked straight ahead.
What greeted its sight was a large hand reaching out.
The rabbit cub wanted to run with the egg cub, but he was tiny and weak. He could do nothing but be caught in the personâs hand.
The man holding him had an extremely handsome face, silver hair, and purple eyes. He looked to be in his thirties.
He was exceptionally handsome.
The two cubs, who had been struggling in the man’s hand, suddenly stopped fighting the moment they realized who had caught them.
The man, dressed in elaborate clothing, held the two tiny things in his palm.
The rabbit cub, still holding the egg cub, looked up at the man and blinked its large eyes, sensing the aura radiating from him…
He instinctively felt that the person before him was very powerful and very dangerous.
No one knew what the rabbit cub was thinking at that moment, but he suddenly let go of the egg cub, lay on his back in the man’s palm, and called out in a soft voice, “Da?”
The little white egg rolled until it was next to the rabbit cubâs tiny paw.
The rabbit cub reached out a paw and patted the egg cub, as if secretly comforting him.
The man let out a light “eh?” and shifted his gaze to the egg cub.
Perhaps sensing the man’s gaze, the egg cub shivered.
The rabbit cub blinked and, while still lying down, hugged the egg cub tightly again with its paws and feet.
To the man, these two cubs looked as though they were shivering together in a very pitiable manner.
The man said softly, “Was the spatial ability yours?”
As he spoke, the man held the rabbit cub in one hand and picked up the egg cub with the other.
Neither cub struggled. Leaving the egg cub’s feelings aside, the rabbit cubâs tears plopped down as it sat up. It looked at the egg cub longingly, then turned its pleading gaze toward the man, its expression full of “spirituality.”
Seeing the cubs’ state, the manâs lips curved slightly. He said, “Born in their second form and already able to control spatial abilities before hatchingâwhat impressive little things.”
The man could feel the two little fellows shivering in his hands.
Footsteps approached, and soon a group of men in guard uniforms arrived, led by a captain who bowed respectfully. “Your Majesty.”
The silver-haired, purple-eyed man nodded slightly and ordered, “Go and investigate. See whose children these two tiny things are.”
The guard bowed and left.
Emperor Arlyn held the two cubs and entered the palace followed by a group of attendants. He gave an order: “Invite the Empress to come here.”
The attendants bowed in response.
The rabbit cub couldn’t reach the egg cub in Emperor Arlynâs other hand, and feeling uneasy without something to hold, it could only cling tightly to one of Emperor Arlynâs fingers.
Compared to the rabbit cub, Emperor Arlyn preferred the egg cub; his gaze couldn’t help but drift toward it.
Others might not be clear, but Emperor Arlyn had a distinct feeling.
Spatial abilities manifested in various ways, but the spatial ability the egg cub had just used was clearly from the same source as his own.
In all likelihood, this cub was related to him.
However, it had to be said that compared to the unhatched egg cub, the rabbit cub was soft, cute, and exceptionally good at acting spoiled.
Emperor Arlynâs eyes flickered as he looked at the rabbit cub.
The man and the cubâs gazes met. Pink, heart-shaped bubbles seemed to sprout around the little cub as it acted cute for him.
One of a cubâs survival instincts was to act cute.
Emperor Arlyn sat on the sofa, placed the rabbit cub on his lap, and continued to hold the egg cub in his hand.
The egg cub possessed the same spatial ability as his own. Emperor Arlyn knew better than anyone how troublesome this ability wasâwith just a momentâs lapse in attention, one could teleport through a spatial seal.
The egg cub lay as quiet as a stone in Emperor Arlynâs palm, like a dead egg.
The rabbit cub on his lap looked up at the egg cub and began to crawl toward it clumsily.
Shortly after, a very handsome man entered, followed by several attendants. He was the Empress of the Los Empire, also a super-powerful warrior with a 3S-level ability.
Almost the instant he entered the hall, his gaze was drawn to the rabbit cub crawling on Emperor Arlyn.
The rabbit cub was simply too cute.
The rabbit cub crawled with difficulty onto Emperor Arlynâs hand and hugged the egg cub with all four paws and feet.
Seeing the rabbit cubâs adorable appearance, the Empressâs eyes curved slightly, and he said with a smile, “Is this cute little cub hugging its rations?”
As the Empress spoke, the rabbit cub gave the egg cub a lick.
Emperor Arlyn paused, then looked up to meet the Empress’s gaze. “No, this egg cub should be a second form.”
The Empress was stunned. He walked over to sit beside Emperor Arlyn and reached out to scoop up the rabbit cub.
Even if the egg cub was a second form that hadn’t hatched, he still preferred the soft and cute rabbit cub.
Emperor Arlyn added, “This egg cub has already awakened spatial abilities.”
The Empress gently stroked the rabbit cubâs chin.
The rabbit cub let out a couple of comfortable whimpers, its large eyes occasionally glancing toward the egg cub. From its look, it seemed to be wondering how to crawl back over to hug the egg.
Emperor Arlyn continued, “Itâs a spatial ability from the same source as mine.”
The Empress froze, his eyes full of shock as he looked at Emperor Arlyn. His eyes narrowed dangerously, and his voice turned cold: “Your Majesty, I think…”
Emperor Arlyn immediately interrupted the Empressâs wild guesses. “My Empress, you should be thinking of Elvis.”
Empress: “…Ah?” Elvis?
Just then, an attendant announced: “Your Majesty, Your Highness, Colonel Yun Yinghui of the Generalâs Manor requests an audience.”
Emperor Arlyn and the Empress exchanged a glance.
The Empress, playing with the well-behaved rabbit cub in his hand, looked at the egg cub with a confused gaze and asked, “What is he doing here?”
Emperor Arlyn said, “Let him in.”
The Empress seemed to recall something and said, “Didn’t Elvis confess to the second son of the Generalâs Manor before?” He added, “That child’s second form seems to be…” He withdrew his gaze from the egg cub and looked at the soft rabbit cub in his hand. “…A little white rabbit?”
At this moment, the heart rates of both the Emperor and the Empress quickened.
The rabbit cub looked at the egg cub again and then softly hugged the Empress’s finger, as if acting spoiled.
The Empress said softly, “What a well-behaved little cub.”
While they spoke, Yun Yinghui entered, led by an attendant.
Yun Yinghui respectfully bowed to Emperor Arlyn and the Empress.
Almost the instant he heard Yun Yinghuiâs voice, the rabbit cubâs eyes lit up. Tears plopped down as he abandoned his previous soft and well-behaved act, letting out an “ao” toward both the Emperor and the Empress. Then, under their shocked gazes, he scrambled and lunged toward Yun Yinghui.
