Chapter 15: Mom!? (Second Update)

When people saw Baili Yuan being lifted up by his collar, gasps erupted from the crowd.

"It's the Dean!"

"The Dean is here!"

"Goddess!"

What the hell was that "Goddess" part?

Baili Yuan's mouth twitched.

That was right; the one lifting Baili Yuan by the collar was indeed the Dean of the Emblem Academy, Andy.

When Andy returned to her office and realized Baili Yuan was missing, she had immediately chased after him and found him here.

"Dean." America breathed a sigh of relief. With the Dean here, that perverted brat probably wouldn't lay a finger on her.

Based on Baili Yuan's expression and actions just now, America had already categorized him as a perverted brat.

"Hehe... about that, Andy, let me explain." Baili Yuan turned his head back with a fawning smile, but upon seeing Andy's face—which wore a smile but held no warmth in her eyes—he shrank his neck back.

"Explain? Then explain why you ambushed Kazuki and then tried to make a move on America?" Andy said with a smile.

Explain? Would she believe me if I explained that I was just feeling for hidden eggs? If she did believe me, wouldn't she immediately arrest me for research?

"Uh... well, that... how long have you been watching, ma'am?" Baili Yuan asked with an awkward smile. Judging by Andy's tone, she clearly didn't look like she had just arrived; instead, it sounded like she had been there for quite some time!

"What do you think?" Andy tilted her head.

"..."

Baili Yuan was speechless.

"You're being so naughty. Do you really think I won't hit you?" Andy leaned closer to Baili Yuan, her voice low, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

Danger!

Baili Yuan felt a terrifying sense of danger emanating from Andy. It was only then that he remembered: Andy was the woman who had refreshed a Diamond Egg on her chest!

"You... don't force me! I'm going to use my ultimate move!" Baili Yuan said, his voice trembling.

Andy's smile grew even brighter. She raised a hand and made a "please" gesture.

"Please, begin your performance."

"This... you're forcing my hand!" Baili Yuan said, stiffening his neck.

Andy remained unmoved. *If you can stir up any more trouble today, I'll consider myself a loser.*

Baili Yuan took a deep breath.

Andy looked at him curiously.

"Mommy!"

A loud, vigorous, yet still childish cry erupted from Baili Yuan's mouth, echoing across the entire lawn.

Shock!

Andy was shocked!

America was shocked!

Wu Gengyue, Luo'er, and Black Knight were shocked!

The onlookers were all shocked!

For a moment, the entire lawn fell into dead silence. America, who had just managed to stand up, nearly lost her balance and fell again.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"I heard it. That kid called the Dean 'Mommy'."

"But doesn't the Dean not even have a boyfriend yet?"

"What do you know? People of that status usually have secret marriages. My dad and my stepmom have a secret marriage."

"Are you sure your dad isn't just having an affair?"

"It's over... my Goddess actually has a child!"

"Wake up. Even if the Dean doesn't have a child, she wouldn't look at someone like you."

"It's fine, even if she's a married woman, I'm still into it!"

"No wonder. I was wondering how the Dean could still be single at her age."

"What? How old is the Dean?"

"Can't say."

"Why?"

"The Dean is looking this way. I'm afraid of dying."

"Tell me secretly when we get back."

"That was absolutely freaking awesome!"

"Hey, is this Yuncheng TV? I've got a huge scoop here..."

"..."

Listening to the discussions of the surrounding students, Andy's expression looked very grim.

"All of you, shut up!" Andy let out a roar, and the surroundings returned to silence, but the way people looked at her had already changed.

Andy narrowed her eyes at Baili Yuan.

"Mommy, are you abandoning me?" Baili Yuan put on a pitiful expression.

"The Dean is too harsh on the child."

"Yeah, yeah, how could anyone have the heart to lay a hand on such a cute baby?"

"Is this going to turn into domestic violence? Is it too late to call the police?"

Andy grit her teeth.

"Baili Yuan! Fine! You... you are very good!" Andy addressed him directly by name.

Baili Yuan shrank his neck, but he still shot Andy a provocative look—"You're the one who told me to perform."

Andy gave a cold snort and stomped her foot. The already bumpy lawn was instantly leveled and renovated by the force.

Andy suddenly flashed a "gentle" and "kind" smile at Baili Yuan.

"Good son, let's go back and talk about this."

With a flash, Andy disappeared, taking Baili Yuan with her.

Explain?

Impossible. How many people would believe a child? Especially these students who had not yet been tempered by society; they were the easiest to deceive with appearances.

Explaining would only make things worse, or even lead to direct consequences.

It was better to hide for a while. No matter what the rumors were, they would eventually die down. When that time came, it would be much easier to come forward and explain, or simply play dumb.

Watching the spot where Baili Yuan had disappeared, Wu Gengyue blinked.

Luo'er, however, broke into a smile.

"This time... things have truly become interesting~"

...

Because of Andy's special status, in a short amount of time, the news of her "having a son" spread throughout all of Yuncheng, directly overshadowing the news of "the transfer student Kazuki drawing against the sixth 'Brilliant Girl' America" and hitting the headlines.

In the Dean's Office.

*Crack!*

The sound of a whip cracking echoed through the office.

Baili Yuan swallowed hard, looking tremblingly at Andy, who held the whip.

Running away was out of the question. At this moment, Baili Yuan was tied up and hanging from a crossbeam.

"Um... is it too late to admit my mistake now?" Baili Yuan asked tentatively.

"What do you think?" Andy revealed a delighted smile.

"Go easy on me, I'm afraid of pain." Baili Yuan turned his head away.

"Heh..."

In the end, Andy did not whip Baili Yuan. It wasn't because she had forgiven him, but because she had finally found a child with the potential for dual emblems, and she was afraid she might accidentally whip him to death.

Therefore, Andy left Baili Yuan hanging in the Dean's office and went home herself, treating it as his punishment.

...

Night fell.

The Dean's office was silent. The hanging Baili Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

He surveyed his surroundings.

"Come out, Bulbasaur!"

A beam of light shot out from the back of Baili Yuan's left hand, and the figure of a Bulbasaur landed on the floor.

"Bulba, Bulba."

"Bulbasaur, help me untie these ropes."

Bulbasaur nodded, jumped up, and bit the ropes. Soon, the ropes were bitten through.

"Great job, Bulbasaur!" Baili Yuan patted Bulbasaur's head, and Bulbasaur happily rubbed against him.

"Now then, next is time to crack some eggs!"

Baili Yuan licked his lips.
