My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

On the backdrop, the camera follows Lin Ye and Xiao Douzi as they enter the room.

The scene inside the door was like an invisible giant hand that suddenly grabbed everyone by the throat.

Before me was a huge living room.

A huge living room that's so spacious you could run a horse through it, so tall you can't see the top, and so bright it's like daytime.

But these are not the things that left everyone speechless.

It's right in the center of the living room—those things flying in the air.

Hundreds of book-sized, jet-black, bird-shaped metal objects are suspended silently about three meters above the ground.

They are arranged in a perfect circular array, maintaining a precise distance from each other, motionless and silent, with only small indicator lights on the sides of the fuselage flashing a pale blue light.

And just as they stepped completely inside—

"Buzz—"

A buzzing sound, like the flapping of bees' wings, came from the air!

The dozens of static black metal creations suddenly moved!

As if controlled by an invisible hand, they began a dazzling, terrifyingly precise, coordinated dance!

They rise upwards at the same moment, drawing dozens of elegant black arcs high in the living room, then suddenly converge towards the center and explode into a swirling, spreading "flower".

Then they began to fly in formation, sometimes in a straight line, sometimes intertwined into complex spirals, and sometimes scattered into a sky full of stars.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if controlled by a single brain.

Even more astonishingly, as they flew, a thin beam of light of different colors shot out from the bottom of each small creation!

The beam of light, following its flight path, "painted" colorful outlines of birds, fish, and flowers in the air.

The living room was instantly transformed by a dazzling interplay of light and shadow.

……

The people of the Great Flame Kingdom were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and the barrage of comments exploded.

[Commoner Sun Daniu: I was wrong... I shouldn't have said there was nothing inside. I had a sharp tongue... Gods, please don't punish me...]

[Commoner Wang Xiaocao: Those iron birds... hundreds of iron birds...aren't they made of iron? How do they fly? And so in unison? They even glow? And they change patterns?]

[People: My God! The iron birds have come to life! They can fly and even form formations on their own!]

[Old Craftsman: Incredible skill... truly incredible skill! Such exquisite control, such perfect formation—to witness it even once is enough to make my life complete!]

[Guan Yue, Vice Minister of Works: Flying...flying?! Hundreds of iron birds, hovering in the air, moving as if they were extensions of an arm?! How...how is this possible?! Without flapping wings, without ropes to pull them, how do they gain leverage?! How do they control them?!]

[Cheng Yan, Minister of the Court of Judicial Review: Sorcery! It must be sorcery controlling objects!]

[Commander Zhang Chong of the Imperial Guards: If... if this item could be used in the army, carrying oil-soaked blades, to launch aerial attacks...]

……

At Xiaoshan College, Wen Zhi's neck was stiffly tilted back, his mouth was open, and his jaw was almost dislocated.

His mind went blank. All the prepared sarcasm, the composure of "having seen through everything," and the confident sneer—all shattered into nothingness.

Hua Zhixiao, who was standing next to him, glanced at him, a smirk playing on her lips, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

"Oh, isn't this our 'Lord Wenzhi,' who knows everything from astronomy to geography? Didn't we say he was all show and no substance? What's with that expression now?"

Wen Zhi's face turned bright red, and his lips moved, but he didn't know how to refute it.

His supposedly "insights" were utterly worthless in the face of that river of light soaring through the sky.

Throughout the Great Flame Kingdom, those who had just been mocking and ridiculing others have now all fallen silent.

Some people nonchalantly looked away from the comments, pretending they hadn't posted those; others sent several praises in a row, trying to push their previous nonsense to a place where no one could see it.

Others simply snorted and went inside or drew the curtains, no longer looking at the sky, preferring to stay out of sight.

Those who entered the room secretly opened a crack in the window, and even when the curtains were drawn, they left a gap just wide enough for a glimpse.

But most people, craning their necks, mouths agape, eyes fixed intently on the neatly arranged, glowing iron birds flying in the sky, their minds filled with only one thought—

How could such a thing exist in this world?

……

"Godfather, what... what is this?" Little Douzi looked up, his eyes wide, and mumbled.

She had seen birds and butterflies, but she had never seen such a flexible and beautiful "iron" creature.

"These are called drones. Because they are programmed in advance, they can perform various actions without needing to be manually controlled," Lin Ye's voice rang out against the background of a slight buzzing sound, explaining to Xiao Douzi with a smile.

Little Douzi nodded as if she understood, feeling like her brain had stopped working. She looked up and continued watching the drone show, her little mouth slightly open, her big eyes shining and unblinking.

……

The Western Garden of the Royal Palace in the Great Flame Kingdom.

The music and laughter that had just begun to return moments before had been replaced by an almost frozen silence.

All the guests, whether civil or military officials of the Great Flame Dynasty or envoys from various countries, were as if frozen in place, their heads tilted back, their mouths agape, their eyes fixed on the unbelievable scene on the sky.

Their wine glasses froze in mid-air, they forgot to chew their food, and some even stood up unconsciously, knocking over tables without realizing it.

Shu Jingwei sat in the high seat of honor, her facial muscles twitching slightly uncontrollably.

She had just been fantasizing about how she would torture Lin Ye after catching him, and was still jealous of "another property," but now she was being choked by this "drone show" that was beyond her comprehension.

The perfectly synchronized flight, the precise beam drawing, silently mocked her confidence as the ruler of a nation.

She also saw the barrage used in the military, which sent a chill down her spine.

If the enemy learns this technique and uses it to attack her Great Flame, can she cope?

Just how much more does Lin Ye still know that she doesn't know...?

But are all of these really fake...?

But then he hardened his heart. Since he already roughly knew where Lin Ye was hiding, all that was left was to send people to find him!

Whether these claims are true or false, a conclusion will naturally be reached once Lin Ye is found.

If that's true, then all of these things, including Lin Ye, belong to her Great Flame Kingdom.

She licked her lips, a fleeting thought of greed crossing her mind.

If it's fake, then there's even less to worry about. Her Great Flame Kingdom will remain as solid as a rock, unshakeable by anyone!

The gentle smile on Yao Jingyuan's face vanished, replaced by a gloomy, ashen expression.

He stared intently at the flying "iron birds," his heart filled with turmoil.

This Lin Ye... not only can he steer such a huge "iron chariot", but he can also control so many "iron birds"?

How many more tricks does he have up his sleeve?!

If all of this is true.

Is it still possible for him to take that position?

Or rather—

Would Lin Ye allow the man who killed Ye Fan to sit in that position?

Yao Jingyuan frowned deeply. He had to make plans as soon as possible; if all else failed…

He glanced at Xiao Douzi, who was intently watching the drone on the sky.

In a pinch, this little bastard might come in handy...
