Interstellar Orphanage Cultivates Bai Ze Cubs to Be Omniscient and Omnipotent

"Wen Ze—!"

The gentle calls were swallowed up by the sound of the rescue ship shutting down.

Everything in front of him seemed to slow down infinitely. Xiaoze's determined gaze, his retreating figure, and the closing hatch struck him like a ton of bricks.

Xiao Ze, the little dumpling who once opened her eyes in front of him, has left him.

That little one, who bore his surname and could laugh and play, has left him...

"Ahhhhhh..." The shadow of the hatch falling enveloped him, and Wen Ai's vision blurred. He clutched his clothes tightly and collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had left him.

"Xiao Ze... Xiao Ze..." The gentle sorrow was so real that it shrouded his fur in a broken gray haze.

The guards had seen this kind of situation many times before, and they couldn't help but sigh. But there was still more to do, so they could only pat Wen Ai on the shoulder and bring him emergency supplies.

At this moment, the starship's self-destruct program entered its final ten-second countdown.

"five four three two one……"

As the countdown ended, the starship shattered into pieces in a violent explosion, with light and shockwaves sweeping across the entire area, leaving the center ablaze with brilliant flames.

Wen Ai's heart seemed to have been torn open as well.

The rescue ship slowly sailed away from the explosion area and flew towards the federal frigate.

In the frigate's medical bay, Wen Ai received treatment and was well cared for along with the other survivors.

Some of the escape pods ejected from the starship were also intercepted by the escort team, including Leng Fan and his group.

Seeing the three cubs brought Wen Ai some comfort, but when he learned that Xiao Ze had left to find him, he couldn't even manage a polite smile.

“Xiao Ze…” The three cubs leaned against Wen Ai’s arms with teary eyes. Xiao Fan didn’t say a word. Yang Yang and Ali were also frightened and kept crying.

Wen Ai gave a bitter laugh; he never imagined things would turn out this way.

They temporarily landed at a nearby planet, and after completing their medical examinations and making their records, the flight provided a free journey for all passengers.

--

Upon seeing the rescue ship shut down, Wen Ze immediately turned around and went to find the escape pod. He was small and agile, dodging and weaving among the space pirates. Occasionally, when he bared his teeth, the space pirates felt a chill, and Wen Ze seized the opportunity to take advantage of them.

He was racing against time when he ran into the leader of the space pirates. Wen Ze, young and fearless, accelerated and squeezed into the escape pod.

“You…” The space pirate in front of him was a strong lion-beastman. He bared his sharp fangs, but Wen Ai quickly pressed the escape button, and a sleeping spray was released, restricting his movements.

Wen Ze's eyelids gradually drooped, and his vision became dim. He could only vaguely feel the cabin shaking before he fell into a deep sleep.

The escape pod was affected by the shockwave from the starship's self-destruction and drifted in space, heading towards the nearest habitable planet according to the pre-programmed sequence.

Just then, a jet-black ship tore through space and appeared in this star field after the escort ship left, taking the remaining escape pods into the cabin.

After a long while, Wen Ze finally heard the noisy sounds around him. Before he even opened his eyes, he heard all sorts of inner thoughts.

This is a pirate crew called the Black Lions, led by a rare black lion orc named Hanzo. This operation was a side job taken on by his brother Hansen, but he made such a mess of things and got himself into trouble. How foolish of him.

Hanzo's tail thrashed impatiently as he violently opened the escape pod, dragging out his still-sounding-sleeping, foolish younger brother.

Huh? Why is there a puppy too?

Hanzo watched as the cub's eyes darted around under his eyelids, raising an eyebrow: "Still pretending? If you keep pretending, I'll throw you outside."

The hot breath sprayed onto Wen Ze's face. Wen Ze knew he wasn't joking, and he immediately opened his eyes, trying to struggle free.

But Hanzo was no match for Wenze. He twisted and turned for a long time but couldn't budge an inch, making him a laughingstock.

The surrounding space pirates burst into laughter, and Wen Ze wisely stopped and met Hanzo's gaze.

Those emerald green eyes stared at the little guy with great interest. He was quite bold; he heard the pup ask, "Are you their leader?"

"How did you figure that out?" Not bad, the little guy has a good eye.

"You are the strongest." Wen Ze remembered what his teacher had said: feline beastmen should be treated with respect and petted gently.

Hanzo wagged his tail happily, listening to his subordinates' flattery, and laughed heartily.

"Alright, once your ransom arrives, I guarantee you'll be able to return safely," Hanzo said mercifully, in a good mood.

"Brother, this won't do, this is the person the employer wants." Hansen woke up, shook his dizzy head, but didn't forget about making money.

Hanzo glanced at him, his tail swishing loudly in the air.

Wen Ze, being perceptive, immediately said, "Who are you? You're so weak, do you even have the right to speak?" He opened his eyes wide, looking confused.

Hansen got angry whenever he saw him. This little troublemaker! If it weren't for his dishonesty with that Wen guy, he could have made a fortune on this job!

The immature, yellow-haired lion took two steps forward angrily, only to be frozen in place by a single look from his older brother.

Hansen swallowed hard, belatedly realizing that he had broken a taboo and should not have challenged his brother's authority.

"Hansen," Hanzo said, abandoning Wenze, his voice incredibly gentle. Hansen shivered and immediately shouted back, "Here!"

"Did I say that we can't touch the cubs?" Hanzo wiped his hands, and the surrounding orcs moved three meters away. Wenze also cleverly followed suit and retreated.

"Yes...but..." The other party gave too much.

Before Hansen could explain, his older brother tackled him to the ground. He let out a wail and was then brutally beaten by Hanzo.

"Brother, brother! I was wrong... Ah! Don't hit my face... Aa ...

Before long, Hanzo happily wiped his hands, and Hansen was forced to transform back into his beast form to cover his wounds. However, his face was swollen, as if he had been stung by a bee, which was quite amusing.

The yellow-haired lion shook its mane irritably and glared at the other space pirates.

"Clean up the mess for me." Hanzo left with those words and walked away, with Hansen following behind eagerly.

Wenze glanced at the orcs around him who seemed to have ill intentions, and followed them.

"and many more!"

Hanzo twitched his ears in boredom and gave his younger brother a look. Hansen, who was in a bad mood, said gruffly, "What?"

"Didn't you want a ransom? I haven't given you my contact information yet," Wen Ze said, stepping back a little.

“We have our own channels, don’t get involved! Go away!” Hansen said, and slapped him with his paw.

"Really? So you watch Midalos videos on the starship through your own channels?" Wenze said innocently, making Hansen tremble with fear. Before he could react, his older brother slapped him across the face.

"You're really asking for it." Hanzo's head throbbed. In the sunken land, he could see whatever he wanted without any problem, but on the starship, he was easily tracked by the soldiers' signals.

"Don't be angry, Chief, or it might trigger a genetic disease!"

Hanzo looked at the cub before him, his eyes filled with interest, yet also with a hint of threat: "Who told you that?"
