Part 2
First, it was raising shifters, followed by the real delicacies of the Ancient Blue Star, and then having Director Gu cooperate. It would definitely completely extinguish the Crown Prince’s plans.
The Prince wanted to mobilize the public to use shifters to enhance their mental power.
Ning Yunyi, on the other hand, would promote planting flowers and species across the entire galaxy. Soil was one part, but hydroponics was also an option.
As long as the real species of the Ancient Blue Star increased and spiritual energy became abundant, mental power would no longer be limited to genes but could be enhanced through independent cultivation.
By then, the most coveted part of the shifters wouldn’t be so prominent or worth plundering.
The Crown Prince’s actions over the years would look more like a joke.
After he spent so much effort to upgrade everything, only for it to become accessible to everyone—would he then worry that everyone might steal his position? That suspicion alone would drive him crazy.
Moreover, he wouldn’t let the Crown Prince live that long anyway.
Every debt had its debtor. Neither the Crown Prince nor Mu Jiayi would have a good end.
Ning Yunyi parted from Big Brother Ning and the others. He first went upstairs to check on the sleeping Ning Xiaomiao before returning to his own room.
His bracelet lit up.
Opening it, he saw a message from Ichi.
[Ichi: Mr. Bai, the Marshal wants to add you. Is that okay?]
Ning Yunyi’s feelings were complex, so he simply pretended not to see it.
Add him for what? So he has a chance to build a “father-son” bond with Xiaomiao?
Anyone who wanted to snatch his cub was not a good person.
They could continue to be allies, but as for anything else, forget about it.
Ichi waited and waited, finally shrugging with regret. “Marshal, Mr. Bai has probably gone to sleep.”
However, based on his experience, Mr. Bai used to reply instantly. Not replying this time likely meant he was pretending not to see it.
He strongly suspected—had the Marshal offended Mr. Bai?
Otherwise, why did the banquet suddenly turn out like that?
He had heard all about it! Tonight’s matchmaking banquet was quite the scene!
Zong Hao pursed his lips and didn’t speak. He looked at the communicator ID he had reclaimed. “Is it because your signal is bad and it didn’t go through?”
Ichi was speechless: Marshal, do you think that’s possible?
But how was he supposed to reply? Should he say yes or no?
If there’s a problem with your relationship, go coax him and chase him! I’m just a subordinate, wu-wu.
Ichi asked tentatively, “Marshal, I heard that tonight Mr. Bai seemed to have taken an interest in Young Head Eustace. Are you two… in a cold war?”
Zong Hao shot him a look. “No.” He paused and added with emphasis, “We have a very good relationship.”
Ichi: “Then why is Mr. Bai angry? Is it because the Crown Prince wanted you to choose a wife, and Mr. Bai is doing this on purpose out of jealousy to spite you?”
Zong Hao looked at him in confusion. “Jealousy? Why would he be jealous? We aren’t in that kind of relationship.”
Ichi didn’t believe him at all. He had seen it from behind back then.
As soon as Eustace and Mr. Bai were together, the Marshal couldn’t sit still and went over.
He even went over right in front of the Crown Prince. If that wasn’t being anxious, what was?
Ichi advised subtly, “Couples bicker; a little coaxing is all it takes. Besides, the Prince wants you to choose a family head’s wife, and you even said at the banquet why you couldn’t choose Mr. Bai. Why don’t you just announce it directly and put an end to the Prince’s ideas?”
Zong Hao frowned. At the time, he thought Ning Yunyi was struggling to deal with the situation, so he simply said that to bail him out.
Hearing Ichi’s words now, he felt they weren’t entirely without merit.
Furthermore, he didn’t dislike Ning Yunyi.
He was exceptionally fond of the cub as well. They could live their lives together.
Initially, he was unwilling to marry because of his secret as a shifter.
But now, he had no secrets before Ning Yunyi.
Thus, that concern was gone.
In that case, wouldn’t he be able to logically continue staying at the Ning house?
Or could Ning Yunyi and the cub both come to the Zong house?
Zong Hao suddenly looked at Ichi with appreciation in his eyes. “This idea of yours is quite good.”
Ichi: “??” So you and Mr. Bai are for real, right? And you still tried to lie to me?
The next day, Ning Yunyi only brought the cartoon cat that Xiaomiao was pretending to be for the livestream. After uploading the taste data, he didn’t immediately log off.
The people in the livestream room were pleasantly surprised to see the streamer still there after they finished grabbing the taste data.
[Is the streamer giving us some kind of surprise today?]
[Hehe, rubbing my hands. Unlucky person here, are you going to upload another portion?]
Ning Yunyi watched the fast-scrolling comments. “I had a battle with a certain streamer before and promised that ten fans who participated by liking would be drawn later to receive a portion of Ancient Blue Star delicacies. Today happens to be a good day, so we’ll do it today. I have saved the list of fans who participated back then, and I’m about to draw ten now. Later, those ten selected fans can private message me their addresses and the one dish they want to eat. It’s limited to the ones I’ve cooked in the livestream before.”
[??? Holy crap! Ahhh, when did this happen? How come I didn’t know?]
[Hahaha, I liked it back then! Rubbing my hands in anticipation!]
[Ahhh, please pick me!]
[Wu-wu, is this for real? Can it be delivered no matter where I live?]
Ning Yunyi saw this comment and said, “It can, but the timing isn’t certain. However, the selected fans can rest assured; the food will be placed in a special fresh-keeping box to ensure the taste and temperature won’t change.”
As this news spread, the number of people online began to skyrocket.
Those who weren’t online that day were filled with regret and pounded their chests. Other things might have another chance, but they truly had none.
[Wu-wu, will there be another chance in the future? I won’t be able to die in peace if I don’t get to eat this in my life.]
Ning Yunyi quickly brought up the list of those who had liked the stream that day, then entered it into the specialized wheel on the Star Stream backend and quickly clicked to draw.
As the ten names appeared, the winners spun around in excitement, while those who weren’t picked howled in envy.
After announcing the names, Ning Yunyi exited the livestream room.
He checked the backend; the ten selected fans almost immediately sent their addresses and the food they wanted to eat.
Ning Yunyi recorded them, which was a bit of a surprise.
Four of the ten were on the Capital Star, while the other six were scattered across various planets. Fortunately, they weren’t far, and he would find a way to send them out later.
The reason he hadn’t mentioned a time was to prevent the Crown Prince from camping around for him after finding out.
However, with the Invisibility Talisman in hand, even if they wanted to camp, they likely wouldn’t be able to find him.
The Prince soon learned of this matter. “Go and check the specific locations of these ten people. At all costs, station guards around them. We must find out exactly who this ‘Sect’s First Blade’ is.”
The adjutant complied. “Yes, this subordinate will handle it immediately.”
The Prince lowered his eyes and stroked the armrest of his wheelchair, thinking for a moment. “Contact these ten people one by one and see if we can get the food from them.”
He wanted to see for himself if this so-called Ancient Blue Star delicacy was just a gimmick or if the taste was truly as delicious as the uploaded data suggested.
If he could truly get a portion, he could have Zong Ling do a livestream to debunk it. If it was fake, he could expose it on the spot; if it was real, he could still ride the wave of popularity.
After Ning Yunyi finished the draw, he immediately received a message from Eustace.
[Eustace: When can I eat?]
[Bai Yanyu: Come to the Ning house this afternoon. I’ve prepared it for you.]
Eustace didn’t delay at all. Having received confirmation, he immediately ordered his departure.
Opening the door, he found the Head of the Herman family standing guard outside. “Where are you going?”
Eustace gave a sneer. “It’s none of your business where I go.”
The Head: “How are things with Mr. Bai? What did he say after going back last night?”
