FCC Chapter 25

Download

In the quiet attic, a paintbrush gently mixed colors on the paint palette, and finally and carefully placed the final stroke on the canvas.

At the moment when the brush was put to paper, an indescribable luster flowed through the whole painting.

What’s even more bizarre is that the girl holding the pen kept her eyes closed throughout the entire process.

 

Not until the last stroke was done did she suddenly open her eyes, and a small crystal fruit in her hand quickly fell from between her fingers and rolled to the floor.

Three seconds later, the originally crystal clear crystal fruit suddenly turned into a pile of ashes.

 

“Bai? Dinner is ready, why haven’t you eaten yet? Don’t stay in the attic all the time, and don’t paint secretly! You must take good care of your spirit this month!”

 

Just when Bai was in a daze, a woman’s shouting suddenly came from outside the door, which instantly made the rabbit’s ears slightly curl up. She quickly picked up a piece of white cloth and hastily covered the drawing board.

 

“Mom…I know, I know!”

 

She stammered in response, wiped the paint off her hands with a rag, looked around for a few seconds, and hurriedly cleaned up the pool of crystal fruit ashes on the ground.

 

It’s a pity about this crystal fruit.

I still want to keep it in a small jar to look at for the rest of my life.

 

Recalling the scene when the milky golden cub held the crystal fruit in his mouth and put it in her hand when she left last time, Bai couldn’t help but think it was so adorable that her rabbit ears trembled.

 

This is the most satisfying little gift I have ever received!

 

It’s a pity that I don’t have any precious feathers this time, so I can only use this crystal fruit with a little bit of the little guy’s scent to make a very crude prediction…

 

“Bai, hurry up and eat! Do you want me to go up and invite you?!”

 

At this moment when Bai was lost in thought, the urging voice downstairs came again!

“Coming, I’m coming!! Mom…”

 

She stood up again in a panic, but the moment she went downstairs, the door was pushed open.

 

“Drawing again? Aren’t you absolutely forbidden to use supernatural powers this month? What on earth is this kid thinking about———”

“That, that I don’t have! This is not it!!”

 

Facing her mother Erno’s search, Bai immediately tried to stop her with a red face, but the next moment her mother frowned and saw the covered drawing board.

 

“You’re still saying no? Who are you predicting for this time? Last time, the kid next door lost his eraser and you also predicted it for him. Are you stupid? What is it this time——”

 

Erno was almost mad at her own daughter. She had been so silly since she was little and didn’t know how to refuse anything others said!

The clan’s prophecy ability may cause damage to one’s mental strength!

She grabbed the rabbit ears and pulled back the white cloth, ready to call the culprit.

 

However, as the white cloth was lifted, Erno and Bai, who saw the scene at the same time, became silent instantly.

Bai even covered her mouth, looking at the prophecy on the canvas in amazement and daze.

 

It’s two wings intertwined together!

 

The soft, milky-gold wings had an indescribable sense of fantasy, and in the moonlight there were even several gleaming silver edges on the edges of the wings, like the wings of a little angel.

However, what is even more incredible is the black wing in the corner of the picture, which almost encircles the milky golden wings and protects them.

It clearly carries a dangerous and powerful aura, but the picture seems to be circling those little wings with a bit of indulgence.

 

It’s like patiently teaching you how to fly.

 

One is ignorant and immature, the other is cold and powerful. They are extremely contradictory yet surprisingly harmonious, and even have a touch of warmth.

 

“It’s a pretty nice painting. What is it about? Isn’t this a prophecy?”

 

Erno looked at the painting with an inexplicably relaxed expression, which always made people think of something interesting.

 

“When you were just born and couldn’t walk yet, I, your mom, watched you and taught you little by little.”

“Ah…Mom, this isn’t a prophecy…I just drew it casually.”

 

Bai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her mother Erno’s words. She answered her hesitantly, and couldn’t help but look at the painting a few more times.

It seems that there is insufficient material for the prophecy, so only a small part of the picture can be drawn.

 

So, is this black wing the beast that I drew last time?

Little golden wings…

 

!

 

Bai stared at this scene blankly, feeling as if she had grasped something but could not understand something.

 

Should I send this painting to the Prince’s Palace… At least, at least let their family know that there seems to be something wrong with my last prophetic painting.

 

But when she thought of the family of ferocious beasts, Bai felt fear instinctively.

However, at the moment when Bai hesitated, the light computer in her pocket began to vibrate wildly.

 

[Qira: Ding ding ding, Bai!!! Are you there? ? ? ? Check out the trending searches quickly!!! I promise you will like it!!]

[Qira: I don’t know why, but I feel like if that little cub really existed, it would look like this when it turned into a human! ! It’s even more realistic than the anthropomorphic picture you drew before! ]

[Ax the Hippo: Woohoo, he’s so cute, and he looks so fragrant~~~]

[Dai Xi: Oh my god, Axe, what are you talking about!? I don’t allow you to say such things to a cub!!!]

 

Ever since the last video of the cub hatching video was removed from the Internet, coupled with a series of daily photos released by the second brother Qiu Yiming, almost everyone thought that the previous trending search for the anthropomorphic image was a spoof.

After all, everyone knows that the family of the Prince’s Mansion has always been extremely dangerous in the interstellar world. How could they have such a delicate and cute little cub descendant!?

Compared to him, the daily check-ins posted by the second brother Qiu Yiming are more credible!

 

Those cute and ugly hand-drawn pictures of my brother’s daily life are even a little weirdly pleasing to the eye after looking at them for a long time. It must be an exceptionally magical beast.

However, Bai’s friends and several people who had seen the original picture for the first time still firmly believed Bai’s words, thinking that the extremely beautiful little cub must be real!

It’s just that everyone has no way to explain it to the public, so they just set up a small group and occasionally attract some people. However, this group has been quiet for a long time, and it suddenly became lively again today.

 

#Who is that little cuttie in the press conference live broadcast room?#

After this somewhat incoherent topic topped the trending searches, it quickly triggered a series of chain reactions.

 

[Oh my god, it looks so small in the live video! After being hit, it actually apologized and asked for help!! The cub is still so small!! It almost got knocked away! ]

[That’s right, as soon as he cried and exclaimed in pain, I knew it was my fault, and I went to kneel on the washboard [dog head] So does anyone know whose baby this is? ]

[I guess it’s a gentle little beauty from the Feather Tribe…]

[Wait, this press conference is actually a cooperation press conference between the Prince’s Mansion and Ames’s dragon clan. The little guy just barged in like this. It feels like something big is going to happen! ! Parents, go and take a look! ]

 

While everyone was enjoying the show, they soon inevitably turned their attention to this live broadcast.

After all, it was obvious that the little guy went in confused, and after being frightened, he ran away shouting for his brother. He probably didn’t even know what he was doing.

It’s just that most people originally thought it was just some ordinary live broadcast, and they never realized after careful study that it was actually a live broadcast of such a formal and important press conference for the cooperation between the two tribes!!

The weird thing is that it seems as if all the heat is suppressed!

 

[Grass!! The Prince’s Mansion!!! That family is full of famous beasts! Help ! Even I, who have nothing to do with politics, know this!]

[The Ames tribe is also quite powerful, they are a dragon tribe… (Although it is said that they broke relations with the palace?)]

[Pfft, what the hell is this, two big villains forming an alliance on the spot, and a little cutie sneaking in to look for his brother! Hurry up and contact the Cub Protection Association! Cub Protection Association!!!]

 

In an instant, a bunch of news about the Cub Protection Association quickly filled the topic.

Meanwhile, the scene was also caught in some kind of indescribable chaos.

 

“Oh my god, don’t run, you can’t go there!!!”

 

The reporter was stunned for a moment, and quickly cut off the video. She wanted to catch the little guy but failed in time. She watched helplessly as the little cub actually flew to the middle platform!!!

Those sitting in the first row are all the famous celebrities who were invited today!

If he rush over, something terrible will happen!

For a moment, everyone was panicking to stop the accident from happening, but the little guy was extremely agile at this moment, and rushed directly to the center of the crowd as if he had seen a savior!

 

“It’s over! The Speaker has seen it!”

“And the director!! Oh my god, we just returned from the foreign galaxy today, how could this happen!!”

“Who on earth brought my little brother here? He’s so pitiful… Oh my god, he actually flew into the Speaker’s arms!!!”

 

Just when everyone was looking at the situation with pale faces and it seemed that the situation was irreversible, an accident suddenly happened!

The man who was rushed to by the little fellow rarely lost his usual dignity in front of others, and instead revealed a bit of unconscious mischief in his eyes.

 

“Why are you here, alone and scared?”

 

He even lowered his head for a moment and gently asked the little guy who was hiding in his ear.

 

! ? ?

 

At this moment, not only was everyone in the venue silent, even the group of people who had hurried to the monitoring room and were pulling at the door, gasping for breath, were staring blankly.

 

Oh my god, it’s still too late. I haven’t been able to pick up the young master…

But, the person in front of me!! Is he really the Speaker who is so scary that everyone avoids him on weekdays?!

 

“Eldest brother…”

 

And Qiu Qiu threw himself into Qiu Jingyu’s arms, habitually holding his neck and hiding in his brother’s hair, holding his neck with both hands and stepping on the shoulders of the man in formal wear.

After blocking all sights, he slowly felt safe.

 

The small milky golden wings also flapped, and the delicate and soft touch made Qiu Jingyu feel a little surprised.

The little guy seemed like he had just eaten candy, and he could smell the sweetness of the crystal fruit when he got close.

It seems like he was really scared.

 

“Are there any more candies? Please pass me a few boxes.”

 

Qiu Jingyu raised his head and looked at the receptionist on one side and asked. The receptionist on the other side, who was also in a daze, reacted quickly and quickly arranged for someone to send over some candies for the cubs.

There is still some time before the press conference officially starts, and now an accident, not too big but not too small, has suddenly occurred. While almost everyone is preparing, they are unconsciously looking towards the podium.

If anyone on the rostrum were to investigate the matter, it would be a live broadcast accident that could lead to the dismissal of a group of people.

 

But since the biggest one now obviously didn’t say anything, everyone naturally followed suit and acted as if nothing had happened, not even daring to look over there for even longer.

On the surface, everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

But a piece of gossip still inevitably spread throughout the venue.

 

That brother…

It is most likely the Speaker!!!

 

“I don’t believe it. How is this possible? Isn’t it said to be a ferocious beast?”

“It’s true… The Speaker personally brought the young master to the headquarters that afternoon, and even arranged for him to play in the lounge. It seemed that he was afraid and ran away alone.”

 

Such whispers were happening almost everywhere in the venue, but no one dared to spread it. After all, it was too shocking.

When the attendant lady with the candies came back, she saw that the frightened little guy seemed to have been comforted. He was sitting on the table covered with a tablecloth, with his head down, allowing the Speaker to rub his head.

 

The picture is actually… inexplicably cute!?

 

“Mr. Speaker, this happens to be the latest product, which is very popular among young cubs all over the galaxy. Do you need my help to peel it…?”

 

The sugar subsidiary that the company recently acquired just launched a new product, but it was not expected to come in handy so soon.

However, the second the attendant lady asked, the candy in her hand was taken away. The hands that used to only sign documents actually peeled off the candy wrapper skillfully and handed it to the little cub in front of him with lowered eyes.

 

“Brother, I seem to have come to the wrong door.”

 

Qiu Qiu looked at the candy in front of him, but lowered his head a little sullenly, and even his two feet in his robe lightly tapped the velvet tablecloth.

 

Although everyone seems to have returned to normal now, it is obviously because of my brother.

I seem to have looked for him when my brother was very busy.

 

“…I’m sorry, can I go out by myself now?”

 

A gentle apology made the faces of the attendant ladies around soften a little.

 

Oh my god, how could such a well-behaved cub be a descendant of the prince’s mansion!!!

 

However, Qiu Jingyu didn’t care and handed over the candy in his hand and stuffed it directly into the hand of the little guy who was about to take off.

 

“There’s nothing to apologize for.”

“Did anyone ask you to apologize?”

 

Reaching out and pinching Qiuqiu’s cheek, Qiu Jingyu lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice, but his tone was full of unquestionable meaning.

 

“…”

 

Holding the small candy in his hand, Qiu Qiu subconsciously raised his head and looked around.

When the people sitting nearby saw the little fellow and saw Qiu Jingyu’s casual glance at them from behind, they quickly waved their hands and signaled for him to start.

 

“No, no, there is no trouble at all. Look, young master, everything is normal at the scene. How can there be any trouble?”

“Yeah, it hasn’t officially started yet, this is just the preparation phase!”

 

Really……?

O^O

 

However, Qiu Qiu felt inexplicably strange when watching this scene. He turned around to look at his brother, and Qiu Jingyu naturally turned his gaze back to him, without any trace of his behavior from the previous moment.

He turned around to look at the people around him in surprise. They continued to nod and nodded, looking very friendly.

 

[Ahem… Host, don’t be nervous. It’s really okay. Look, no one cares! ]

 

The small system at the side couldn’t help but speak out silently to help cover it up.

 

“When you grow up a little, you can bring me along and ask your uncle to arrange a seat for me so I don’t have to sit at the table.”

 

Qiu Jingyu looked at the little guy and saw that his expression was finally a little confused. Instead, he made a light teasing remark.

 

“…Uncle?”

 

Qiu Qiu raised his head when he heard it, and then followed Qiu Jingyu’s gaze to look at the uncle next to him who had never spoken.

The man’s eyebrows and eyes were inexplicably kind, and he looked like a businessman. At this moment, he was looking at Qiu Qiu.

 

[Ding——Trigger the new hidden villain in the original book!! Complete the story, double the special points! ]

 

The first time he saw him, a new prompt sound rang in his ears.

 

“Mr. Speaker! There is some important public opinion about the press conference generated online. I may need to report it to you. How to deal with it…”

 

At this moment, the head of the publicity and promotion department walked away in a hurry.

The chemical reaction caused by this unexpected incident was so intense that I couldn’t tell whether I was happy or sad.

The good news is that the popularity of this press conference almost reached the peak instantly because of the young master’s sudden appearance in the camera.

 

The bad news is… the entire internet is now on the Cub Protection Association!!!

Everyone immediately concluded that after the live broadcast was temporarily interrupted, some tragic accident involving the cubs must have occurred at the scene!!!

 

“Then?”

 

When Qiu Jingyu heard this, his expression was indifferent. He just looked at the supervisor who was hesitant to speak and continued to ask one more question.

 

“And, and, and, there is a spontaneous petition online, calling for humane management, hoping that the company will not fire or embarrass the cub’s relatives… Brother, um, that is…” You.

 

The supervisor’s voice became lower and lower, and his expression became extremely subtle.

For a moment, the entire rostrum was plunged into a strange atmosphere.

 

[Oh my god, oh my god, the live broadcast hasn’t been resumed yet??? With the temper of the Prince’s family, something bad is definitely going to happen!!! I feel that the brother being expelled is the lightest punishment, and something terrible might happen.]

[The little guy is still so cute!! What should we do if the family members are fired? The prices in the Imperial Star are so high!! The milk powder for the cubs is very expensive!! The Cub Protection Association and Starlight Enterprise should quickly come out to explain!?]

[That’s right, I feel like it’s just a harmless little thing. It’s really unnecessary to fire an employee because of it. The little guy is still so young and it was hit on the head…Cub Protection Association]

 

Just as the entire Internet was becoming increasingly excited, the official account finally responded.

 

[Starlight Enterprise V: The baby is eating candy, and is in good condition. Please don’t worry, just pay more attention to the live broadcast, love! [picture.jpg]]

 

As a giant enterprise group that has existed in the Imperial Star for tens of thousands of years, the usually serious Starlight official account responded so quickly for the first time, and even had a cute tone, which instantly stunned the entire network.

What’s even more confusing is that the accompanying photo almost completely diverted everyone’s attention!!!

The photos seem to have been taken casually by someone. They are not as clear as those taken with professional equipment, but they have a more life-like feel.

 

On the conference table that should have been serious, there was a palm-sized cub sitting there, silently holding a peeled candy in his arms, with his face slightly raised as if he was listening carefully to what his brother in front of him was saying.

Gazing from a distance, although I couldn’t see the front clearly, there was an inexplicable soft dependence in his expression, as if he would rub my fingers gently at any second.

 

[Oh my god!!! He is so cute when eating candy! What kind of candy is that? It looks delicious. The baby is so well-behaved, cute and beautiful!!! I just can’t believe Starlight would handle it this way. It’s so weird to be a human being…]

[Help me, the way he holds the candy is really like a fairy tale, and his profile is so delicate, like a doll!! I am so jealous of his brother!! I turned around and looked at my brother… My brother asked me why I kicked him [cold]]

[Hahahaha, there’s no need to say that above, wait a minute, so is this the little one’s brother??? There’s something wrong with the angle of view in this photo, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the organizer’s seat???]

 

It was just an atmosphere where the girls were concentrating on sucking the cub after knowing that the cub was safe, but soon someone noticed something wrong with this photo.

After all, this perspective overlooking the entire venue, this position is almost the main seat in the center… No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t look like an ordinary employee!?

 

[…The guy peeling candy next to him who is half in the shot, is he really the brother??? I recognize that suit cufflink, my dad also has one and usually doesn’t allow us to touch it, it’s so expensive qaq]

[Wow, my kid actually has a brother who is so rich???]

 

Amidst the strange hesitation of the entire network, the press conference was finally officially held, and there was almost no doubt that a large amount of traffic instantly poured in.

When everyone saw that the indifferent-looking man sitting in the organizer’s seat was wearing almost the same formal suit, the entire barrage of comments exploded.

 

!?!?!?

 

[Am I seeing things? Or did they just change clothes temporarily? ? ]

[Fuck, why can’t I see the scene of this person peeling candy for the baby, help! Is the Starlight official V photoshopped?!]

[Is this a real brother, or does he not mind his employee’s younger brother barging into the meeting place… and personally peeling candies for him to eat?]

[Ahem, I’m the only foodie who has a question. How much is that candy for? QwQ? I admit I’m greedy!]

 

As for this sudden explosion of traffic, the publicity department obviously did not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity:

 

[Starlight Enterprise V: Dear, we didn’t photoshop the pictures, please don’t speculate on the identities of the people in the photos! Candy is a new model this season, welcome to buy~[love]]

 

The official account that appeared at the right time was so active that it seemed like a fake account, and instantly triggered widespread interactive responses.

 

[??? I feel like there’s something wrong with Starlight, and there’s something wrong with the Prince’s Mansion. They don’t seem to be in this style???]

[The person above is not alone, but I have been single for a long time. Sorry, my baby is so cute!!]

[Damn, they have some stance, this is the Prince’s Palace!? The Prince’s Palace!!! Where is the united front of the Cub Protection Association just now???]

 

*

 

After the press conference.

The planners from the publicity department and many of the heads from the marketing department looked with inexplicable awe at Qiu Jingyu, who was playing chess with his younger brother in the lounge.

After Qiu Jingyu gently placed his last chess piece, he raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Qiu opposite him.

Qiu Qiu held the chess piece with a hesitant look on his face, and couldn’t help but look at A Lin standing beside him.

 

Jin Lin: …

 

He consciously pointed in a direction with his tail, and Qiu Qiu pursed his lips and smiled, holding the chess piece and flapping his wings to fly onto the chessboard, placing the king’s chess piece on him little by little.

The whole process is inexplicably cute and makes people feel that they can watch it all day long.

Although the black pet with its tail swinging away was indeed a bit strange, it did not look like an ordinary Orlek beast.

However, the group had to temporarily interrupt this warm and loving time between the elder brother and the younger brother.

 

“Master… let’s have some more good news.”

 

Qiu Qiu, who had finally moved the chess piece, was also panting. He stood on tiptoe on the chessboard and looked over curiously.

 

“Looking at the photo of Young Master Qiu, the crystal fruit candy product of the subsidiary has become a hot seller this quarter. It is out of stock across the entire Imperial Star. The subsidiary’s sales revenue is nearly 10 million Star Coins…”

“Not only that, according to the survey, the public’s favorability towards the Prince’s Palace has increased by a full 5 percentage points. This is the first time in history…”

The staff from the Public Opinion Monitoring Department nearby also added cautiously.

 

[Ding—The villain’s reputation and philosophy depth are improved! With hidden character chain bonus points, the reward is doubled!]

 

The system prompt sounded almost simultaneously with the person in charge’s voice, instantly making Qiu Qiu, who was just listening to the noise, confused.

 

How come it has something to do with me…?

QAQ

 

“By the way… ahem, the whole Star Network is calling for the young master to be the product spokesperson… I don’t know if it’s okay.”

 

After the person in charge asked this question with all his might, the entire lounge fell into silence.

All eyes instantly fell on the chessboard and the confused little angel holding the chess piece.

Even Jin Lin flicked his tail subtly and glanced at the little beast.

 

Isn’t transforming to human form it just so-so…

 

= = [Longlong[mfn]”龙” means dragon; 龙龙 is a cutesy address[/mfn] is proud.jpg]

 

[Great! My master is very suitable! I want to buy a castle for you just by holding candy! Master, please agree! We the dragon clan must be the first to buy it!]

 

However, the next second, Ortnes, who had been hiding in the backpack for a whole day, started screaming wildly.
