My Dad Is the Galaxy’s Prince Charming

It never occurred to Yao Si that basement five might be unguarded. Didn’t it make it too easy? Now that she couldn’t use her ability, she had no clue what to do next.

“Why don’t you smash something?” she suggested. Aren’t you good at smashing doors?

Bai Yi rolled his eyes. “Not all doors are…” He stopped abruptly and pulled her into a corner. “Someone’s here.”

The next moment, the door ahead burst open, revealing how abnormal it was. It retracted from the middle in all four directions, and had at least four layers of laser nets, while behind the nets was an even thicker door.

Yao Si suddenly realized why there wasn’t a need for guards. With this kind of defense system, not even a fly could enter. What was in basement five to warrant such security?

They hid in the corner for two whole minutes before spotting a woman in a white coat bringing something out.

Yao Si studied the person’s head, and as expected, there was a pile of words atop it.

[The researcher was prepared to endure a scolding from Boss Qu once she submitted the latest results. She was no longer willing to participate in this pointless experiment that brought no results. When she walked out the door, she was unaware that intruders had broken into the base. Or that she would soon be passing through the DNA secured door back into the basement five instead of delivering her results our, for she was about to faint from an attack by the intruders.]

=.=!

Yao Si’s mouth twitched. She took a deep breath and ordered, “Bai Yi, stop her!”

Bai Yi had utmost confidence in her ability, and without hesitation, he bolted forward, decisively striking the person’s neck and knocking her out.

“What’s next? How do we open the door?”

“The doors here are DNA secured, only the researchers can open it,” Yao Si explained.

Bai Yi frowned and brought up the woman lying on the floor. Just as he was about to pull her fingers toward the sensor, he hit the tray in her hands and scattered some of the test tubes. They were all crystal clear, and each of them had a different colored substances within them, though red substances formed the majority.

Yao Si wasn’t sure if she was hallucinating, but she could almost smell a floral scent from the test tubes.

“What’s this?” Bai Yi picked one up and gave it a press. The cap at the top of the test tube popped open, sending a sickly sweet scent into the air. “It.. smells good.. smells good.” His gaze suddenly turned hazy.

“What are you doing?” Yao Si grabbed his hands when he was about to pour the liquid into his mouth.

“Trying it!” Bai Yi tugged his hands free, then told her hurriedly, “Isn’t this blood? It’s the most fragrant one I’ve smelled!”

“How can you drink an unknown substance like that?”

“Why not?” He tossed her hands aside. “I’m a blooding, this won’t kill me.”

“Still, you can’t drink it!” Yao Si pressed his hands down once more. The subtitles had mentioned that these tubes were with research outcomes, so who knew what they really contained.

“I’m hungry! Don’t you know that bloodlings can’t go hungry? Let go!” Forcefully, he pushed her away.

Yao Si stilled, her blood boiling up. You won’t listen? 

“Bai. Yi.” She punched the back of his head, a burst of energy surging out instinctively when she hit him. “Shut your greedy mouth.”

Bai Yi froze, then unwitting shattered the test tube by exerting some strength. Only then did he regain his senses. His gaze cleared up, and a thin layer of sweat coated his forehead. He turned toward her, looking as if he had just woken up from a dream. “I… just now…

“The substance in the test tube must have contained hallucinogens.” It must be the reason he had been tempted into trying out the unknown substance.

“Hallucinogens?” His face darkened. He flicked his arm violently, trying to get rid of the remainder of the substance. “What’s that? Why does it work against bloodlings?”

“I’m afraid… it works not just on bloodlings…” Yao Si had a bad feeling about this. “Let’s take a look inside.”

Bai Yi nodded and switched his relaxed demeanor for a more serious and alert attitude.

He placed all the test tubes back on the shelf before pulling the researcher’s hand to the door. The next moment, the door burst open, the laser defense disappearing.

“Let’s go!” Bai Yi stuffed the fainted researcher into the corner they were hiding before and rushed into the next room.

Yao Si instantly followed behind him.

They had an inkling about what research was being done in basement five, and all their doubts were assuaged once they entered it.

The floor this basement was on was a few times bigger than the other floors. Even the first room they entered was the size of five soccer fields. At a glance, the room was filled with transparent containers filled with light yellow substance, inside which were familiar and unfamiliar looking organs. Some of them were even pulsing rhythmically.

When they ventured forward, they saw containers filled with not just organ but entire body samples. They were bloated and had a white cast to them, having clearly been placed here a long time ago. There were more than a thousand such containers in this room.

Yao Si’s heart sank lower and lower, the ominous aura flooding her entire being.

This base was… doing research on the bodies of different races.

“President!” Bai Yi’s face fell when he turned to glance at her.

Yao Si nodded in understanding as they rushed forward, passing through this place that seemed like a exhibition grounds for the organs of various races. In front of them were several wide walkways leading to different places.

“Wait! Let’s head to the right.” After reading the words above each walkway, Yao Si turned to the right. “We should be able to find Shucheng’s location in the main control room.”

“All right.”

The main control room wasn’t far, they could see it after just a short run. Bai Yi took a a step forth, and several screens appeared before him, each of them showing a different location.

Yao Si scanned the screens, trying to spot Nephew Gu, just then a man’s voice came from behind her.

“Who are you? Why are you in the main control room?”

Yao Si’s heart sank. What should she do?

“Apologies!” Forget it. She imitated Bai Yi and lifted her hand to hit the newcomer’s neck. Once he fainted, they’d have another man down.

Just then, her hand bounced off. It was as though his neck was made of cotton candy, receding inwards with her hand. She could even hear a squishing sound. The moment her hand left, his neck bounced outwards to its original form. There was barely any bruise, much less any signs of him fainting.

Yao Si, “…”

The man, “…”

F**k! Why is your neck so bouncy! Are you some sort of gummi bear?
