Part 2
He followed Yun Yingzhi’s mental image and thought about it. It actually seemed like quite an interesting scene.
Yun Yingzhi stabilized his emotions, handed the two cubs to Yun Yinghui, and said, “Brother, I want to be alone and think things through.” He needed to contemplate this life of social death.
Yun Yinghui gave a soft “Okay” and, despite the two cubs’ unwillingness, forcibly led them out of Yun Yingzhi’s room.
No matter how much Yun Yingzhi didn’t want to face it, time would continue to flow forward.
He had to face it.
Yun Yingzhi took a deep breath and sat in place for five minutes. Finally gathering his courage, he opened his personal terminal.
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
The top headline on the hot search:
[The Ultimate Human Scumbag.]
He clicked in. The gist of it was about the “human scumbag” who had publicly declared in a livestream that he had “scummed” the Crown Prince and righteously refused to be responsible.
Yun Yingzhi felt that he was currently like a fire in the forest—the kind of fire that instantly scorched the plains. He had already turned half the sky red with his infamy.
His body swayed, and he comforted himself: It’s okay. At worst, I’ll take the whole family and go to a remote life-planet to farm.
With that thought, he continued to browse the information.
Then, he saw several subtle pieces of news.
The Star Glory organizers had been receiving constant complaints. Today, the organizers spent a fortune to replace all the workbenches.
The newly replaced workbenches had been tested and were guaranteed to be of the highest quality. Even an ability user with a 2S-level physique wouldn’t be able to easily smash them. The general public no longer needed to worry about the workbenches potentially injuring participants.
At the same time…
The Red Peony three-piece cotton set that Yun Yingzhi had been wearing was actually sold out.
According to a group of people on the Star Network, the cotton set had special settings that could enhance physical strength. Many people commented that it wasn’t an illusion; putting on the three-piece set made their entire bodies warm, improved blood circulation, and thus increased their speed.
Aside from that, there was something that made Yun Yingzhi feel the most unhappy.
In Yun Yingzhi’s mind, Prince Elvis should have been exactly like the two cubs when he was little. However, many people on the Star Network said that Prince Elvis was very well-behaved as a child.
Yun Yingzhi thought of his two bear cubs.
Wait, if the two cubs weren’t like Elvis, could they be like him? Like the person his brother described as being like a little angel since childhood?
How could that be?
Yun Yingzhi angrily closed the Star Network and opened his personal communication list.
It was filled with a mountain of unread private messages.
Yun Yingzhi read them one by one, his cheeks turning a deep red. What made him feel the worst was that a classmate he wasn’t very close with had forwarded him two videos.
Yes, two.
One was the entire process of the social death Yun Yingzhi had experienced not long ago. The other was a video of the Star Glory source weapon appraisal with a full set of bullet comments, featuring particularly dazzling rainbow-colored special effect comments.
Yun Yingzhi slammed his terminal shut and dove under the covers.
It was simply too embarrassing.
At this moment, Yun Yingzhi was subtly envious of the egg cub’s shell. That truly was the best shell for self-isolation; it was practically a divine tool for introverts.
In a daze, Yun Yingzhi fell asleep.
When he woke up, about two hours had passed.
After a series of pitter-patter footsteps, a patting sound came from the door.
Yun Yingzhi knew it was the rabbit cub.
Just as Yun Yingzhi was about to get out of bed to open the door for the cub, the door opened by itself.
What greeted him was the image of the rabbit cub hanging onto the door handle to open the door, then scrambling down. His little body hid behind the doorframe, peeking his small head out to sneak a look at Yun Yingzhi.
Seeing the rabbit cub like this, Yun Yingzhi’s heart immediately ached.
He knew the rabbit cub must have thought he was angry just now, which was why he was being so cautious.
Yun Yingzhi beckoned to the rabbit cub.
Seeing this, the rabbit cub immediately flew toward Yun Yingzhi, his little head constantly nuzzling against his palm.
Shortly after, the egg cub bounced over as well.
Yun Yingzhi held the two cubs and asked, “Where is your Eldest Uncle?”
The rabbit cub pointed a little paw toward the outside, then continued to cling to Yun Yingzhi and began to speak with a series of “Da da das.”
A knock sounded, and Yun Yinghui walked in from outside. He sat on the edge of the bed and talked with Yun Yingzhi.
No matter how many bad things happened, life had to go on. He couldn’t just say he was going to a remote planet to farm and actually go; before farming, he still needed money to buy the land.
Yun Yinghui said, “Father and Mother want to see you. I refused.”
Yun Yingzhi tilted his little chin up and said firmly, “Hmph! They don’t like me, so I don’t like them either. Jiaojiao and Taotao don’t like them either!”
The rabbit cub immediately followed with a “Da!”
The egg cub bounced up and down, echoing Yun Yingzhi.
Yun Yinghui continued, “Major news media outlets want to interview you. I refused them all as well.”
Yun Yingzhi nodded.
Yun Yinghui: “His Majesty Arlyn and the Empress wish to see you.”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
His eyelid twitched violently. He suddenly handed the two cubs he was holding back to Yun Yinghui.
Yun Yinghui was stunned as he took the cubs. “What’s wrong?”
The rabbit cub: “Da?”
The two cubs pounced back into Yun Yingzhi’s embrace.
Yun Yingzhi thought to himself: I just declared in a livestream that I ‘scummed’ Prince Elvis and don’t intend to be responsible. How can I have the face to see His Majesty and the Empress now?
Yun Yingzhi said, “Brother, I won’t give Jiaojiao and Taotao to Prince Elvis, but I can let the Emperor and Empress see them. Can you… ask them not to see me for now?” His face was bright red.
Yun Yinghui’s lips curved slightly, and he gave a soft “Okay.”
The two cubs, who didn’t understand a word the adults were saying, shared their joy with Yun Yingzhi in their own way.
Yun Yinghui said, “Jiaojiao and Taotao say they want to go to the Yaoming Battle Arena with you.”
Yun Yingzhi immediately shook his head.
With just one communication, his “vests” had been completely stripped away. If he had any “vests” left, they were…
Xing Chen, and the Little Battle Bunny of the Yaoming Battle Arena.
The Xing Chen vest didn’t matter; it wasn’t an embarrassing one. But the Little Battle Bunny vest…
Forget it.
Wasn’t it already embarrassing enough?
He would absolutely not take the two bear cubs to the Yaoming Battle Arena, no matter how much they acted out.
He was already embarrassed enough; he couldn’t let himself become even more of a disgrace!
Yun Yingzhi remained in self-isolation from January 20th to January 25th.
He sincerely hoped that through the passage of time, everyone would forget the events of the past few days.
However, five days of isolation were apparently not enough. His popularity on the Star Network didn’t decrease; instead, it grew day by day.
What made him even more speechless was that somehow, someone had learned that Prince Elvis was currently returning from the Trial Planet to the Capital Star. Many people were speculating that as soon as Elvis returned, he would come to find Yun Yingzhi immediately.
Others said this would be the first touching meeting between Prince Elvis and the two cubs.
They wondered what kind of sparks would fly when the two cubs met their long-lost other father for the first time.
However, more people believed, based on the communication between Elvis and Yun Yingzhi, that Prince Elvis would likely want to see Yun Yingzhi more than the cubs.
Watching the netizens on the Star Network counting down the days until Elvis’s return, Yun Yingzhi felt quite uneasy.
At the same time, what troubled Yun Yingzhi most was Madam Yun.
Madam Yun had come to the villa multiple times wanting to see him, but each time, she was turned away by the villa’s servants.
It was obvious that Madam Yun intended to reconcile with him, but Yun Yingzhi didn’t plan on forgiving them.
The neglect during his childhood, the unilateral pressure as he grew up, and finally the cold severance of ties—even now, recalling it made him feel suffocated.
He would not give Admiral Yun or Madam Yun another chance to hurt him.
January 26th.
Yun Yingzhi received a notification from the Source Weapon Association.
When he had manufactured the spatial-restriction source weapon, he had promised the Imperial Family that, on the condition of providing Yun Yinghui with a year of paid leave to raise the cubs, he would help the Association perfect the upgraded inscription.
Now that the Source Weapon Association had contacted him, he had to go to work.
Yun Yingzhi’s final bit of stubbornness!
Although there were no more “vests” to speak of, he still firmly believed that as long as he continued to disguise himself, there would surely be netizens on the Star Network who remained skeptical.
As long as the number of skeptics grew, he would win.
Armed with this naive expectation of “I’m going to play dumb to the end,” Yun Yingzhi put on his Red Peony three-piece set with a red face, donned his hat and mask, and planned to head out.
The two cubs insisted on going with him.
Yun Yingzhi thought for a moment and handed the cubs to Yun Yinghui.
The cubs continued to pounce on Yun Yingzhi.
But after Yun Yinghui said he would take them to the Yaoming Battle Arena, the two “battle cubs” reluctantly rolled around on Yun Yingzhi’s face for a bit…
Then they pounced onto Yun Yinghui and waved their paws at Yun Yingzhi in farewell.
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
The two cubs loved the Yaoming Battle Arena so much that there was even a saying on the Star Network:
[If Prince Elvis returns from Shaluo Star and wants to see Yun Yingzhi, he needs to go to the Yunhai Villa District. If he’d rather see the cubs he hasn’t met in days, he should go to the Yaoming Battle Arena.]
No one knew which destination would be Prince Elvis’s first choice.
Thinking of Elvis, Yun Yingzhi boarded the hovercar with a cold face.
Shortly after, the hovercar arrived at the Source Weapon Association.
He stepped out of the vehicle.
The recognizability of the black-and-red peony three-piece set was simply too high. Instantly, the gazes of everyone surrounding the Source Weapon Association turned toward Yun Yingzhi.
Yun Yingzhi stepped forward, intending to enter the building.
Suddenly, a voice reached his ears: “Yun Yingzhi.”
His eyelid twitched.
That familiar voice—it was Madam Huai.
Up until this moment, Yun Yingzhi still planned to stick to his conviction: as long as he pretended to know nothing, no one could do anything to him.
Madam Huai said, “Yun Yingzhi, is this how you treat your father and mother?”
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelid twitched violently.
He truly had disliked Madam Huai since he was a child.
He didn’t like her then, and he didn’t like her now. It was Madam Huai who had leaked the news of his pregnancy.
Madam Huai continued, “No matter what, your father and mother raised you and provided you with a life free of worry. And now, just because you gave birth to two children for the Imperial Family, you treat the parents who raised you like old shoes?”
Yun Yingzhi couldn’t take it anymore!
He turned around and looked at Madam Huai.
At the same time, a group of reporters from various news media outlets lurking around the Source Weapon Association saw Yun Yingzhi and immediately rushed over, competing to interview him.
One person was particularly excited. In the midst of the pushing and shoving, they accidentally knocked off Yun Yingzhi’s hat and mask. Instantly, his beautiful face was exposed to everyone’s sight.
However, the crowd soon snapped out of their shock at his beauty.
Mainly because someone had been so overexcited that they accidentally pushed Yun Yingzhi to the ground.
A group of Source Weapon Association staff members swarmed out, helping Yun Yingzhi up and shielding him in the center.
At the same time, several passersby realized something was happening. Hearing that Yun Yingzhi himself was there, another large group of people gathered.
In just a short moment, people were packed three layers deep with Yun Yingzhi at the center.
Someone in the crowd asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
“It seems a reporter got too excited seeing Yun Yingzhi and accidentally knocked him down.”
“Wow, he’s even better looking in person than on the livestream, and he looks even more fragile!”
At that moment, an ability warrior from the Source Weapon Association looked at Yun Yingzhi and said, “Mr. Yun, are you okay?”
Yun Yingzhi shook his head and forced a small smile. He looked exceptionally delicate as he said, “I just took a fall. I’m fine.”
The crowd felt even more heart-wrenched upon hearing this.
Yun Yingzhi’s gaze shifted, looking straight at Madam Huai. With the corners of his eyes slightly red, he said, “Madam Huai, I hate you!”
Thinking about it carefully, Yun Yingzhi suddenly felt that Madam Huai was even more detestable than Prince Elvis.
If Madam Huai hadn’t leaked the news of his pregnancy back then, he wouldn’t have frantically vented at Prince Elvis and experienced “social death” in front of the entire Empire.
Madam Huai was the true culprit!
Madam Huai’s expression was cold as she said, “Yun Yingzhi, I am seriously questioning your upbringing right now.”
Yun Yingzhi immediately retorted, “Then you can blame Admiral Yun and Madam Yun for not knowing how to raise a child.”
