Chapter 226: Yuan Lao Passes Away, Yunxiao Takes Over
Yunxiao finished reading this passage, her heart was shocked beyond imagination; she never expected Yuan Lao to have witnessed everything of their family's three generations, and Yunxiao never imagined that Yuan Lao would also be connected to her grandfather.
From this description, it seems Yuan Lao's relationship with her grandfather was also extraordinary.
Yun Congguang, who ought to be a hero admired by all, now stays in this unknown corner, and even his ashes were secretly gathered by Yuan Lao and placed here.
Even her father was the same back then; Yuan Lao collected their corpses, otherwise there would not have been this meeting of the Yun family's three generations, and her father and grandfather, lonely, had long become wandering souls without a home.
Thinking of this, Yunxiao no longer holds a grudge against Yuan Lao for deceiving her; after all, speaking frankly, Yuan Lao truly took good care of her.
However, there is a problem: even without her, Yuan Lao could still completely overthrow the New Federation.
So what exactly is his purpose in doing this? If he has no use for her, why is he so eager for her to grow up quickly?
Yunxiao keeps repeatedly reading her father and grandfather's deeds; this is her only way to obtain her family's stories.
Sometimes she also wishes that one day she could let her parents, grandparents, before she sleeps or during family chats, personally talk about their deeds; how wonderful that would be....
Yunxiao stared at those words, her heart continually fantasizing about this warm scene, while beside her, 118 looked at his comrades' tombstones, and a nameless emotion surged in his Logic Core.
Faced with the departure of his former comrades, this surging emotion was like a viscous liquid, making his Logic Core sluggish.
The great family that once bullied Yunxiao's three generations had already, when the New Federation fell, been personally beheaded by him and Yunxiao.
Yunxiao now belongs to those who have achieved their long‑struggled goal but don't know how to move forward.
Not only him, but 118 as well; since the New Federation, which had constantly threatened them, fell, 118 felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him, which in human terms could be called laying down a heavy load.
118 looked at Yunxiao, who was still dazed to the side, and reached out to gently pat her.
"Miss, it's raining; we can go now."
"Huh? Oh...."
Yunxiao nodded and followed behind 118.
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, we're leaving...."
Before leaving, she took one last look at the tombstone bearing the memories of three generations of the Yun family, then turned and departed.
"After all this ended, Yunxiao rarely entered the slack‑off homebody mode; after all, the hardworking Yunxiao was only forced by circumstances, and slacking off and lying flat is actually what Yunxiao likes best."
"\"Is there really anyone who doesn't like lying flat? \" Yunxiao said this, and the lifestyle of having clothes brought to her and food brought to her mouth made her body swell at a visible speed."
"Fortunately, this swelling had no effect on Yunxiao's appearance at all; in fact, it even seemed to enhance it a bit."
"Thus, Yunxiao slacked off at home for over three months; during this time, unbeknownst whether due to a relaxed mindset, her previously slow‑progressing realm began to steadily rise, and she quickly reached the Sixth Realm Advanced, which greatly surprised Yunxiao."
"Afterwards, her days were just Yunxiao eating, eating then sleeping, sleeping then eating, repeating this cycle, ultimately resulting in a fat Yunxiao."
"Miss, you should exercise."
"If you keep going like this, I really have to suspect you'll die suddenly in bed."
118 said mercilessly, Yunxiao has really been too "nei sha" lately—she doesn't sleep in the morning, doesn't get up at night, eats lunch at midnight, sleeps a big nap at noon, and only gets up in the evening.
With such a schedule, 118 believes she will definitely die suddenly in bed one day.
"Eh~ I don't want to."
Salted‑fish Yunxiao turned herself over.
"Come on! I'm a Sixth Realm Mechanic! I could die suddenly? Impossible!"
Yunxiao was full of confidence, patted her proud chest, and then adopted an utterly carefree attitude.
"Miss, you can't keep slacking off like this; although you've fulfilled the goal of avenging Yun Sheng, this shouldn't be your endpoint."
"Don't forget, the Insect Disaster is still stirring; you need to prepare in advance."
Listening to 118's words, Yunxiao stopped her gaming hand and let out an "uh~" sound while leaning against the pillow behind her.
"Saving the world.... It shouldn't be my turn...."
Yunxiao said this while staring blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what her little head was thinking.
"Miss, whether it's saving the world or any other reason, becoming stronger is always the top priority."
"Moreover, Miss, you needn't undervalue yourself; you are a genius, and that is beyond doubt."
118 looked helplessly at the chubby Yunxiao; Chi Hong has been lying in the mech hangar for three months—how can this continue!
"To prevent Yunxiao from dying suddenly in bed, you forcibly set her schedule and force‑fed her weight‑loss meals; Yunxiao resisted a bit, but ultimately she once again dreamed back to her days at the research institute."
"Things weren't as wonderful as Yunxiao imagined; the peaceful life here couldn't last long, and the sudden arrival of the Star‑Eating Insect Disaster easily shattered the original peace."
"The emergence of the Star‑Eating Insect Disaster once again caused great panic; the appearance of this kind of insect indicates the birth of the Insect Emperor, and the previous Insect Emperor was slain by Yunxiao's grandfather, which is precisely why humanity has been able to stand equal to the insects all these years."
"Only then did Yunxiao truly grasp the terror of the Insect Disaster; what are intelligent machines? The insects can devour you completely, leaving no room to fight back—this holds for intelligent machines and for human mecha as well."
"And at this moment, something even more unexpected happened to Yunxiao!"
"You say.... Yuan Lao... passed away?"
"Yes, Yuan Lao is already quite old."
"I know that, but why did he designate me as his successor?"
"Miss Yun, you are the second SSS‑rank talent after your grandfather Yun Congguang."
"These were Yuan Lao's original words; we need your leadership."
Yunxiao stared dumbfounded at that will, finally realizing a problem that had once troubled her.
"So... that's how it is."
