Part 2
Yun Yingzhi gave the egg cub in his right hand a shake and accused, “Taotao. Taotao keeps taking Jiaojiao and me onto the combat platforms.”
The egg cub pretended to be a “shut-down egg,” giving no reaction whatsoever.
The rabbit cub: “Da.”
Yun Yinghui paused for a moment before saying, “Zhizhi, Jiaojiao and Taotao just want to be with you.”
Yun Yingzhi: “Huh?”
Yun Yinghui added, “They think the arena is a very interesting place, so they want to share it with you.”
Yun Yingzhi looked at the cubs, sniffled, and said, “Well, I certainly thank you for wanting to share that with me.”
The rabbit cub: “Da.”
The egg cub teleported from Yun Yingzhi’s hand into his collar and used his shell to rub against him.
Yun Yinghui: “Zhizhi, if you promise Jiaojiao and Taotao that you will fight alongside them, they probably won’t force you onto the platform anymore.”
Almost the instant the words left Yun Yinghui’s mouth, the rabbit cub’s drooping ears shot straight up.
Seeing this, Yun Yingzhi’s eyelid twitched. After a moment of silence, he whispered a response: “Fine.”
Happy little flowers immediately sprouted around the two cubs.
The rabbit cub struggled out of Yun Yingzhi’s hand, shook his fur, climbed onto his shoulder, and gave his cheek an affectionate kiss.
Yun Yinghui added, “I’ll head over with Prince Elvis.”
Yun Yingzhi: “Okay.”
The call was disconnected.
People from all directions were staring at Yun Yingzhi and the two cubs.
Yun Yingzhi was so embarrassed he wanted to use his toes to dig a hole in the ground.
He felt that life was truly difficult. After the social death events of the previous few days, he had wanted to lower his profile as much as possible. But he had to admit, the presence of these two cubs was simply too overwhelming.
Human memory is actually quite short. After a while, people tend to forget the past. Yun Yingzhi had hoped everyone would forget his history, but…
If this continued, everyone’s memories would only be further reinforced.
These two little things who took after Prince Elvis truly hadn’t known a moment of peace since the day they were born.
To stop the cubs from making any more trouble, Yun Yingzhi had no choice but to take them to queue for a match.
Yun Yingzhi had his own 3V3 team.
To protect his last “vest,” he sent a message to his two teammates, withdrew from his original team, and contacted Yun Yinghui. Through his brother’s connections, he changed his alias from “One Mighty Little White Rabbit” to his real name, Yun Yingzhi.
He felt that as long as he was open enough, no one besides Yun Yinghui would be able to unmask him… right?
What Yun Yingzhi didn’t know was that on the other end, Nangong Qing and the others had also heard about the cubs “trapping” their father.
The Star Net was already buzzing with the news, and the topic had hit the hot searches in minutes.
According to the netizens, these two cubs—who clearly had no idea how fragile their father was—had repeatedly and forcibly dragged him onto the platforms.
Nangong Qing and the others asked if Yun Yingzhi was really going onto the platform with the cubs.
They wondered if, if possible, they could become teammates with Yun Yingzhi and the cubs.
Yun Yinghui did a quick count. Not including himself and Elvis, there were already ten friends inquiring about the situation. The number was still growing; if it continued, they could form a full 25-man team.
Yun Yinghui didn’t give a definitive answer.
However, that didn’t stop his friends from rushing to the Yaoming Battle Arena of their own accord.
Thus, many of the Imperial Star’s famous geniuses donned hats and masks and began speeding toward the arena.
Yun Yingzhi successfully joined Yun Yinghui’s team and queued for a match with the two cubs.
The system was extremely efficient, and before long, the matchmaking results were out.
Yun Yingzhi entered the waiting room with the two cubs.
The two cubs were spinning in happy circles. The rabbit cub, in particular, looked exactly like the former “Battle Bunny” (Xiao Tu) when he spun.
Yun Yingzhi sniffled. Looking at the two joyous “Battle Cubs,” he felt his heart was on the verge of a breakdown.
Shortly after, the passage from the waiting room to the combat platform opened.
The cubs were very familiar with this glass walkway. Though small, they had accumulated a wealth of experience by following Yun Yinghui.
The rabbit cub patted Yun Yingzhi—who in his eyes probably hadn’t seen much of the world—and pointed at the glass passage, informing him that they could go that way.
The egg cub, who hadn’t wanted to leave Yun Yingzhi’s side all day, finally rolled off his body. He bounced onto the ground and signaled for Yun Yingzhi to follow.
The rabbit cub also climbed down from Yun Yingzhi and walked behind him.
So, the situation was…
Theoretically, the smallest egg cub stood at the very front of the line, the eldest Yun Yingzhi was in the middle, and the tiny rabbit cub brought up the rear.
Yun Yingzhi was being “protected” and sandwiched between the two cubs.
The egg cub spun half a circle and bounced twice. Behind him, the rabbit cub gave a “Da.”
Yun Yingzhi subtly felt that the two cubs were saying, “Daddy, don’t be afraid! Jiaojiao and Taotao will protect you!”
He didn’t know if he was misinterpreting them, but that didn’t stop him from being grateful. He said, “Well, I certainly thank you for doing such a good job of trapping your father.”
The two cubs looked exceptionally proud.
The one large and two small figures walked down the glass walkway and entered the arena.
The two cubs performed brilliantly.
Positioned in front of and behind Yun Yingzhi, the two cubs walked with their heads held high and chests out. Although they were just tiny puffs, they had taken on the protective stance of guardians shielding Yun Yingzhi behind them.
Looking at their reaction, Yun Yingzhi was so touched he nearly cried.
The stands were packed to capacity, and the cheers were deafening.
The crowd began chanting in rhythm: “Jiaojiao!”, “Taotao!”, “Ultimate Human Scumbag!”, “Red Peony Beauty!”…
Yun Yingzhi was already feeling quite ashamed. At this moment, he wished he could awaken a “ground-drilling” ability to hide deep underground until the storm blew over and he could emerge a hero once again.
Someone in the audience said, “As expected of such a fragile little white rabbit. Usually, when Jiaojiao and Taotao fight others, they like to hide behind their teammates while shivering. Today is the first time these two cubs have shown such courage to protect someone!”
“I love these two little angel cubs so much!”
Yun Yingzhi’s ears twitched as he caught these words. He looked at the two cubs with a moved gaze.
As if sensing his stare, the two cubs looked back at him.
The egg cub bounced.
The rabbit cub stood proudly with his chest out, using a little paw to thump his furry chest. He was incredibly, incredibly proud.
At this moment, the two cubs appeared exceptionally powerful. They intended to use their frail little bodies and strong hearts to protect their favorite father and show him the world.
And then…
The three opposing warriors finally emerged from the other end of the glass passage.
Yun Yingzhi looked over.
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
The opposing trio looked like people you shouldn’t mess with. Judging by their appearance, they were roughly in their forties, each over two meters tall, with bulging muscles and visible veins.
Based on their aura, Yun Yingzhi estimated they were at least Level 6 ability warriors.
He felt that taking down this fight alone with two cubs, without his equipment ready, would be quite difficult.
He shifted his gaze back to the two cubs.
The two cubs, who just a second ago looked like they could take on the whole world, were now huddled together and shivering uncontrollably.
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelid gave a heavy twitch. Why were these two so cowardly?
In the audience, someone said, “Look at Jiaojiao and Taotao!”
“If they were with anyone else, they would have hidden behind them long ago. Clearly, they think their ‘Beauty Papa’ is so weak that his combat power is even lower than theirs. So even though they’re scared, they’re determined to protect him!”
“What kind of perfect pair of angel cubs is this?”
Yun Yingzhi felt deeply moved.
Then he thought, thank you so much for your heroic act of standing in front of me in the face of danger.
Finally, the battle began!
Before the fight started, Yun Yingzhi had intended to remain in his human form no matter what happened.
But…
The world is full of surprises.
Deeply touched by the cubs, the moment the referee shouted “Battle start!”, Yun Yingzhi directly transformed from his human form into his second form. It was his instinct as a military student.
In that instant, a snow-white rabbit appeared on the platforms in all directions.
Oh, and not just one—there were two even smaller cubs: one rabbit and one egg.
The screams from the stands instantly reached a fever pitch.
“Ahhh!”
“The Big White Rabbit and the little egg are in the same frame!”
In a dazed and confused state, Yun Yingzhi realized he had transformed reflexively.
No matter how much he was reeling, the battle on the platform had to continue.
Yun Yingzhi sniffled, his eyes brimming with tears, as he faced the three opposing warriors.
The two shivering cubs realized their father had transformed. They had already felt he needed protection, and now they likely felt he needed it even more. Thus, they lunged into a fierce attack toward the opposing trio without a second thought.
Someone in the audience shouted, “This is the first time Jiaojiao and Taotao have shown their true strength in all their matches!”
At that moment, Taotao used his spatial ability to perform a warp with the rabbit cub.
They abandoned Yun Yingzhi and warped directly to the enemy camp.
The rabbit cub latched his tiny body onto one of the opposing warriors.
The egg cub, likely knowing the rabbit cub’s actual strength, used his spatial ability again to move both the rabbit cub and the warrior into the air.
Everything happened in an instant.
With the egg cub’s help, the rabbit cub used only his tiny body to slam the opposing warrior hard onto the ground.
History was repeating itself with startling accuracy.
Yun Yingzhi felt as if his entire rabbit self was emitting steam.
His body swayed.
His round, dark eyes looked around. Every projection screen in sight was showing the same image: the palm-sized rabbit cub, having successfully slammed the opponent, was now surrounded by happy bubbles. Standing on one tiny jiojio while lifting the other, he was spinning happy circles.
The resemblance wasn’t just close; the rabbit cub looked identical to the former “Battle Bunny.”
Identical to the point where no one would ever mistake them for anything other than father and son.
The roar of the crowd shook the very heavens.
