He Thought I Accepted His Confession?!

Not many people knew that Mo Bai called himself ‘Mo Li.’

Wen Zhaoyan knew because Mo Bai had told him. Aside from Wen Zhaoyan, perhaps
only the little mermaid Xixi and Kai knew.

Whether the two of them had told anyone else, Mo Bai had no way of knowing.

Yet this stranger could be so certain that he was Mo Li, which clearly meant he
had already investigated his identity.

Mo Bai could even vaguely sense a hint of hostility from the other person.

This kind of hostility, even through the interstellar network, Mo Bai could
keenly perceive.

But there were quite a few people on the interstellar network who were hostile
toward him. So he only looked at the other person a couple more times before
asking calmly, “Do we know each other?”

Li continued to scrutinize him with a appraising gaze.

It had to be said, this ‘Mo Li’ bore a striking resemblance to Mo Xiangtian’s
son, Mo Bai.

Someone who didn’t know might indeed mistakenly think Mo Li was Mo Xiangtian’s
illegitimate child.

Li said, “No, but I’m very curious about your origins.”

Mo Bai said, “There are too many people curious about my origins.”

Li gave a soft laugh, but on his interstellar network avatar’s face, the smile
carried an inexplicable obscure and unpredictable quality. “So you wouldn’t tell
me either, would you?”

Mo Bai checked the order of Xixi’s performance and saw it was still a ways off.
He lowered his head and started messaging Wen Zhaoyan, not looking up as he
said, “In ancient Earth, there was a kind of etiquette: when asking someone who
they are, it’s best to introduce yourself first. Reciprocity, understand?”

Li asked casually, “Do you know of the Uruk Civilization?”

Mo Bai knew the Uruk Civilization existed, but there was very little information
about them on the interstellar network. It was a relatively mysterious existence
compared to other civilizations.

It was said that the Uruk Civilization were all monsters with great destructive
power and extremely strong abilities.

It was precisely because of their mystery and power that many ‘monster baby’
products sold very well on the interstellar network.

In people’s eyes, this was the ultimate form of gap moe.

Beyond that, there was very little other information about the Uruk Civilization
on the interstellar network.

Mo Bai said honestly, “No, I don’t.”

“That’s fine,” Li said. “You just need to know that monsters never have
manners.”

Mo Bai’s brow furrowed slightly. He was about to say something when he suddenly
felt something was wrong.

His vision changed. The screen seemed to be cracking. Everything around him was
spinning and turning upside down.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if his entire soul were being pulled out.

This feeling…

Mo Bai remembered that on the interstellar network, you could fully simulate the
five senses, and many people would pursue excitement by turning this sensation
up to the maximum.

However, ever since a few accidents happened because of this, the StarNet
company had canceled 100% simulation, capping it at 80%.

That was already very high.

And at this moment, his five senses were so intense!

But this wouldn’t normally be possible, because the interstellar network had
protection mechanisms for minors. This kind of intense sensory excitement would
never be allowed to happen to a minor.

Before Mo Bai could think it through, the interstellar network environment
before his eyes shattered like a mirror into pieces.

When he opened his eyes again, Mo Bai saw the familiar ceiling and the
holographic pod.

Mo Bai took a deep breath.

Disconnected?

He tried to log back in—failed.

And there was no prompt whatsoever.

On the other side.

The moment Mo Bai disconnected, Li also logged off.

He removed his helmet, revealing a pair of very beautiful fox-like eyes.

His facial features were cold and sharp with a hint of sharpness, and paired
with those eyes, he looked rather cold and heartless.

When he wore that expression of a faint, knowing smile, he gave people the
feeling that they were being calculated and that he was about to successfully
capture his prey.

Li said, “Did you find anything?”

Beside him, several extremely cutting-edge devices were running at high speed.

He had deliberately approached Mo Li.

Other hackers, even including them, had only found that Mo Li’s login address
was the Mo family villa.

But such a person couldn’t possibly exist in the Mo family villa.

So Li deliberately approached him and took the opportunity to capture and
analyze all the frequencies left behind during his exchange with Mo Bai.

This would allow him to more clearly pinpoint exactly where Mo Bai was.

“Analysis complete. He’s at the Mo family villa.”

The person answering him had a strange appearance.

Or rather, perhaps he wasn’t human. His skin was dark brown, his ears very
pointed, his eyes blood red.

He had four hands. Two were hidden in his sleeves like a normal human’s. The
other two were like strange tentacles, bizarre-looking, their backs covered in
dark brown scales, extremely frightening to look at.

Li directly dialed a call.

The person on the other end answered very quietly.

“Sir.”

Li said, “Who is at the Mo family villa right now?”

“Sir, aside from us, only the young master and the nanny.”

Li said, “Protect the little brat.”

With that, he hung up.

The monster shouted, “Impossible! He’s definitely at the Mo family villa!”

Li snorted softly. “The guards are all our people.”

The monster said, “But there’s still the nanny! Maybe he’s disguised as a
woman!”

Li casually said, “Why don’t you just say he can also transform, and that the
little brat is him?”

The monster fell silent, because he knew that was even more unlikely than
cross-dressing.

Li thought for a moment, then his thin lips curved up and a glint of interest
appeared in his eyes. “It seems this Mo Li is more capable than we thought.”

And what was his purpose in getting close to the Mo family?

[Wen Zhaoyan: Should I come find you?]

On the interstellar network.

After Mo Bai replied that he wasn’t performing, Wen Zhaoyan had sent this
message, but hadn’t received a response.

Wen Zhaoyan didn’t think Mo Li was too busy to reply. Besides, Mo Li had just
been telling him he was waiting for Xixi to go on stage.

Remembering Mo Li had said he was in a corner and had blurring treatment to his
face, Wen Zhaoyan immediately went to look around the corners of the audience
stands.

He didn’t find Mo Li.

Then he checked Mo Li’s login status. Offline.

Wen Zhaoyan immediately logged off and went outside.

The Mo family had moved to the sanatorium planet two years ago, but this was Wen
Zhaoyan’s first time entering the Mo family villa.

The villa was very clean. The guards were very polite.

The first thing Wen Zhaoyan saw upon entering the Mo family villa was the giant
slide in the living room.

On the slide, Mo Bai was frowning his little brows, clasping his little hands
behind his back, sliding down from the top with an expressionless face.

And Wen Zhaoyan did not sense Mo Li’s presence in the Mo family villa.

“Wen Zhaoyan!” Mo Bai looked up and saw Wen Zhaoyan, his face lighting up. “You
came just in time!”

Wen Zhaoyan said, “Hmm?”

Mo Bai walked up to him.

Wen Zhaoyan was very tall. The little brat’s body only came up to his waist. It
was hard to meet his eyes without craning his neck back.

Mo Bai had no choice but to tilt his head way back and reached out his hand to
him. “Let’s go online together!”

Wen Zhaoyan said, “On your internet?”

The guard explained from the side, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, the home
network seems to have been attacked. It can’t connect right now.”

‘Home network’ here didn’t just mean the family wifi. It meant all terminals in
this area had been attacked.

All personal terminals were also disconnected.

Wen Zhaoyan’s eyes darkened. So this was why Mo Li had gone offline? Had he
really been at the Mo family villa all along?

Mo Bai was anxious. He couldn’t help tugging at Wen Zhaoyan’s sleeve. “Hurry,
Xixi is about to go on stage!”

Seeing the little brat’s anxious look, Wen Zhaoyan remembered that the little
brat was an avid fan of Xixi—the kind who would make Mo Xiangtian throw five
million at him.

Wen Zhaoyan took out his own terminal. His terminal was specially made and
rarely disconnected.

He opened the live video of the singing competition and projected it into the
air.

The big one and the little one sat down together under the slide, staring at the
projection in the air.

The guard: “…”

This picture looked so strange.

Just then, it was Xixi’s turn to go on stage.

Mo Bai sighed with relief. “Good, didn’t miss it.”

Wen Zhaoyan’s mind wasn’t on the competition. He opened his StarBlog account to
check. Mo Li was still offline.

He looked at the little brat beside him and said flatly, “You already have two
mermaids.”

He had two already, yet he still coveted Xixi this much?

Mo Bai said righteously, “When you become rich, do you stop trying to make more
money?”

Wen Zhaoyan: “…”

The little brat knew quite a lot.

After a moment of silence, Wen Zhaoyan couldn’t help it anymore. “Your uncle…”

Just then, Xixi began to sing.

Mo Bai had just taught Xixi how to cultivate and was now watching to see if Xixi
had made any progress.

But Wen Zhaoyan kept babbling beside him. So Mo Bai simply reached out and
covered Wen Zhaoyan’s mouth. “Alright, alright, I know you like my little uncle!
I said I’d help you. You’re so outstanding, I’m sure my little uncle will like
you too. We’ll be family in the future. Don’t be so formal. And don’t talk. Just
listen to the song, okay? Future uncle-in-law?”

Wen Zhaoyan: “…”

Wen Zhaoyan’s body went rigid.

When had he ever said he liked Mo Li?!

Wait. Family.

That night, when Mo Li had told him to go soak in the pool, he had also said
something similar—

—Don’t mention it. We’ll be family sooner or later.

Wen Zhaoyan felt very uncomfortable all over.

Could it be…

Had the little brat already told his uncle?

And then Mo Li really thought he liked him, and had even decided to accept him?

The little brat had even called him… uncle-in-law??

Wen Zhaoyan: “…”
