I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

Seeing Bai Yue sleeping peacefully on Lin Yuxia's lap, she twitched her lips slightly. What time is it? She's still sleeping here!

Kal'tsit lifted her slender little feet and stepped on the thick velvet blanket, leaving behind cute footprints. Amid Lin Yuxia's displeased expression, she squatted down and pulled Bai Yue awake.

Then, she slammed the thick file folder on the table, immediately drawing the attention of Lin Yuxia and Bai Yue.

Bai Yue, ignoring her morning grumpiness, sat up and asked in a daze, "What's this?"

Lin Yuxia looked at the large "Top Secret" sign on the file folder and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Do you need me to go out?"

“No need.” Kal’tsit shook her head helplessly: “This matter is no longer a secret, Miss Lin. If you were still in Lungmen, you would probably have heard the rumors as well.”

Bai Yue rubbed her eyes. "What is this?"

As Kal'tsit unsealed the file, she said, "The register of the estate left by the Duke of Belga of Ursus has been notarized by Lord Duma."

"Oh, the so-called Lord Duma, which used to be the highest decision-making body in Ursus composed of nobles. Although the Imperial Council has now replaced their basic functions, the power of this body should not be underestimated."

"Besides various power transactions, important matters such as the nobles' estates and inheritances also cannot be separated from the rulings of the lord Duma."

"Once Lord Duma passes the resolution, then in Ursus, apart from the Emperor, almost no one can overturn it. Well... the current Imperial Council might be able to, but they have never shown their fangs to Lord Duma."

“And the right to inherit this list of estates…” Kal’tsit pursed her lips, pulled out a file from the folder, flipped to the last page, pointed to the large Ursus font and said, “It’s you, White.”

"Oh." Bai Yue nodded, somewhat puzzled. "So?"

Kal'tsit frowned: "White, it seems you haven't grasped the situation yet. Rhodes Island wasn't the only one to receive this list; Lungmen also got the news, not to mention Ursus."

"The nobles, the emperor, the army—everyone there will covet the vast wealth you inherit, until they devour you completely. Do you understand?"

Bai Yue blinked and raised her hand in a question: "I mean, does it mean that just because he said one sentence, I can inherit his estate? You said that everyone is eyeing this estate. Does that organization called Lord Duma really intend to let me inherit it?"

"Besides, Belgar has already been exposed as the mastermind behind the Chernobog incident. Doesn't the Emperor of Ursus confiscate his property?"

“Good question.” Kal’tsit clapped her hands and continued with a cold expression, “On the surface, it does seem unlikely, but you may be underestimating the complexity of this matter.”

“I know the Ursus people. Belga will never leave the emperor the opportunity to try him. He will commit suicide and die without trial. Legally, he is not a criminal.”

"More importantly, this statement confirms that you are the sole and only rightful heir to the Duke of Belgaard's estate."

"The emperor cannot act before you actually inherit this legacy, because that would be suspected of interfering in the affairs of the nobles and would provoke their resistance. The nobles also cannot act, because they do not have sufficient legal grounds and could easily become pawns in someone else's scheme."

"Therefore, Bai, as long as you live, no one can touch this inheritance."

"As long as I don't die..."

Bai Yue repeated the sentence to himself, feeling a little numb. After a moment's thought, he looked at Shuangxing and said sincerely, "Is it too late to call your dad back to protect me now?"

Froststar replied sincerely, "As long as you're not worried that my dad might suddenly attack you."

Bai Yue shuddered and quickly shook her head: "Then forget it."

Lin Yuxia said with some concern, "Then how about I have my dad protect you for a while?"

"Huh?" Bai Yue's eyes widened. What was the difference between having this old man come and having Bozhuokas replace him? So he shook his head even faster: "Forget it, forget it, I won't bother Uncle Lin anymore, I can do it!"

"Don't be brave."

"I wasn't trying to be brave!"

Chapter 107 Warmth and Leisure

Rhodes Island's training grounds.

Many newly recruited Sarkaz operators are undergoing outfit change training here.

"Woo~"

Bai Yue sat in the stands, yawned weakly, and looked at Lin Yuxia who was constantly on guard next to her, and said timidly, "Sister Yuxia, this is inside Rhodes Island, you don't need to be so nervous."

Lin Yuxia shook her head slightly and said seriously, "We must not be careless. No one knows what methods those insects in the shadows will use."

"Oh." Bai Yue nodded obediently, shifted her position slightly, moved a little further away from her, and rested her head on her shoulder, saying softly, "By the way, Sister Yuxia, you've been secretly in Rhodes Island for so many days without going back. Uncle Lin won't be angry, will he?"

Lin Yuxia tapped his head irritably: "You heard the phone call last night, didn't you? Don't you know whether my dad was angry or not?"

Bai Yue chuckled. Old Deng wasn't just angry; he was absolutely furious.

Seeing his smug expression, Lin Yuxia turned her body to the side, pressed his head against her lap, pinched his cheek, and said angrily:

"It's all because you didn't listen to me. That night, Swire asked you to persuade Chen to go back, but you not only didn't, you also fooled around with her. Do you know how worried I was!"

"Stop talking, stop talking, you were wrong, you were wrong."

Bai Yue quickly surrendered, grabbing her hand in a fawning manner, and said with a bitter face, "Sister Yuxia, please forgive me this time. Beatrice has been talking about me on the phone for days because of this."

Lin Yuxia snorted: "Just take it. She was frantic. She hired every security company she could find in Longmen. If you hadn't gotten out safely so quickly, she would have led the rescue team in."

Bai Yue chuckled: "I heard her say that she was seen by Uncle Wei halfway there and was then chased back."

Lin Yuxia casually squeezed his fingers, "It's all because you're alright, otherwise she wouldn't be so obedient."

Bai Yue's face stiffened, and she felt an urge to scratch her face.

Alas, the ancients were absolutely right: it's hardest to repay the kindness of a beautiful woman. They're all so devoted to me; how am I ever going to ever repay them...?

Lin Yuxia saw through his thoughts, rolled her eyes at him, and teased, "Hehe, when you really become the Duke of Ursus and enjoy wealth and glory, just don't forget about us little women."

"of course not!"

Bai Yue was about to raise her hand to guarantee it.

But Lin Yuxia was still the same Lin Yuxia. She gently pressed down his hand and swallowed his words, saying softly, "Let's talk about some things later. The current matter isn't over yet."

Clang!

A loud noise came from the center of the training field.

Lin Yuxia subconsciously took out her staff, about to use her ancestral sand control spell.

Bai Yue looked up and pressed her hand down, "It's nothing, Huang and Niyan are just sparring."

"..." Lin Yuxia looked closely and found that both of them were stunningly beautiful, with different styles. One was heroic and valiant, while the other was sweet and charming, but their brute strength should not be underestimated.

"An acquaintance?" she asked casually.

Bai Yue shook her head: "We're not that close. I only know Huang. But Mudrock, she's one of the Sarkaz operators who joined Rhodes Island this time. Like your underlings, she's one of my direct subordinates."

This answer brought a satisfied smile to Lin Yuxia's face. To be honest, she was still a little worried that her little piggy might go around prostrate himself with other women. What if one day a strange woman, heavily pregnant, came to their door claiming to be her relative...

Ha... thinking about it, I really can't laugh.

Suddenly, the temperature in the training ground dropped a few degrees. A few seconds later, a group of Yeti team members wearing Rhodes Island-made combat suits walked out of the passage and went to a designated spot to begin practicing spells.

Their uniforms were similar to those of the past, except that the material had been changed and the Rhode Island logo was printed in a prominent place.

Da da.

Inside the private passageway connecting to the stands, the sound of boots stomping on the ground was exceptionally crisp.

Bai Yue turned around and said cheerfully, "Your team members have all started training downstairs. Are you slacking off?"

The next moment, Frostnova revealed her face from the passage and calmly said, "No, a few days ago, Dr. Kal'tsit forbade me from training in the regular training ground. The engineering department is building a special training ground, which will take some time."

As she spoke, she calmly sat down next to Bai Yue, looking down at the Yeti team below and saying:

"When I was showing them around Rhodes Island, I spotted a few suspicious individuals, but they don't seem to be after you. Do you have any leads?"

Bai Yue looked down at Huang, who was still locked in fierce combat with Mudrock, and shook her head with a smile: "There are too many suspicious people on Rhodes Island. Just tell Kal'tsit and let her figure out which ones need to be dealt with and which ones are secrets she needs to protect."

"Oh." Frostnova nodded, then quietly watched the Yeti squad's training below.

After she sat down, Lin Yuxia immediately tugged at her skirt, pretending to be chilled by the cold air.

Bai Yue caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye, and subtly moved closer to her, placing her hand on her leg. With the help of her dreamlike abilities, warmth immediately enveloped her entire body.

Seeing this, Froststar's lips twitched slightly, and she rolled her eyes inwardly. Tsk, what is this woman pretending for? My body temperature has been normal for a long time!

Bai Yue felt the temperature of Shuangxing gradually dropping beside her and also felt the pain of carrying water, so she quickly reached out her other hand and crossed it to hold Shuangxing's hand.

"..." Froststar lowered her eyes and glanced at the warm little hand nestled in her palm. A faint smile appeared on her lips, and the chill emanating from her body immediately dissipated.

Just as Bai Yue breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to enjoy the moment in peace,

His familiar footsteps echoed from the passage behind him.

The very rhythmic sound of the ankle boots hitting the ground is easily distinguishable.

It's Chen Huijie.

Bai Yue felt a little numb. She looked at her hand, which was pressed against Lin Yuxia's thigh, and then at her hand, which was tightly held by Shuangxing. Oh dear, the place is already full!

At this moment, he was even considering following in the footsteps of his ancestors and getting himself a few extra limbs, so that at least everyone could have one.

...

Having just finished chatting with Talulah in the solitary confinement room, Chen Huijie's mood was somewhat complicated. Stepping out of the passage, she frowned upon seeing the two women sitting around her little devil.

"..."

But she didn't say anything. She just quietly walked behind him, bent down and buried her head in his neck, taking a deep breath of the sweet scent emanating from the succubus.

Although Bai Yue's face was flushed, she still breathed a sigh of relief.

The documentary didn't lie; life really does find its own way.

But the next second, hurried footsteps came from the passageway again. Before Bai Yue could react, Vishdel's boisterous voice rang out:

"Oh, what a coincidence, everyone's here."

"..."

Chapter 108: Goodwill from the Emperor of Ursus

Saint-Germain Castle, the palace.

Inside the magnificent throne room, Emperor Fyodor sat on his throne, exclaiming in astonishment, "Ulrich? This bloodline has actually survived? And it even prevented this disaster?"

"Absolutely certain, Your Majesty."

Islam Witt humbly stated, "Our spies within the Third Army have repeatedly confirmed this fact. After reviewing numerous secret records left from the late Emperor's era, I have determined that Bai Yue, the current citizen of Yan, is a direct descendant of Her Majesty Catherine the Great."

"..."

Fyodor pinched the corner of his eye and sighed, "So, he's still my nephew then."

"Yes."

Vittorio nodded, and the weariness in his eyes was clearly evident.

Fedor leaned against the armrest of the throne, disregarding his image, and said, "He is my blood relative, but now Baikal has designated him as the sole heir. Witte, do you know what this means?"

Witt bowed, his voice tinged with fear: "Your Majesty, this is your family matter, and I dare not presume to comment."

Fyodor waved his hand impatiently: "Witt, right now I need your honesty. Tell me, and I won't blame you."

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Witt straightened his back slightly and said, “The Duke of Belga’s sudden decision not only disrupted the Imperial Council’s plan to take over the cities under his rule, but also planted a seed of trouble for you.”

"In the many secret records of the late emperor held in the parliament, Ulrich's descendants are described as cruel and greedy."

"Assuming this is true, then His Highness Ulrich will probably not be content after receiving the inheritance of the Duke of Belgaard. The noble blood flowing in his veins will be the reason for the nobles to support his rebellion."

"............."

Witte went on and on about his ideas.

Fyodor tapped the armrest of his throne, his eyes wearily closing: "Werther, are you advising me to eliminate the threat completely?"

"I dare not!" Witt immediately bowed in submission: "But... Your Majesty, this is a possibility. If not handled properly, this noble young prince could very well become the fuse for another great rebellion."

"..."

Fyodor was getting annoyed: "Witt, you're right, but this is just something that hasn't happened yet. Am I supposed to use this as grounds to do something as horrific as patricide like that old monster?!"

“No, of course not!” Witt bowed even lower, but his voice remained clear: “Your Majesty, patricide will be an eternal stain on the empire, and must never be done.”

Fyodor's expression softened somewhat, awaiting his 'but'.

Witte, as expected, changed the subject, straightened his posture slightly, and said, "However, Your Majesty, the stability of the Empire is paramount, and Prince Ulrich, who now holds the right to inherit the title of Duke of Belga, is undoubtedly an unstable factor."

“Hmm.” Fyodor nodded in agreement, then asked in a mocking tone, “So, what’s your idea?”

At this moment, Witte's body was almost straight, and he said calmly, "Your Majesty, I believe that the most urgent task is for you to formally confer the title of Prince Ulrich. The title is bestowed by you, and its legitimacy comes from you. If he causes trouble in the future, his title will be illegitimate and unjust."

Fyodor smiled, nodded, and said, "Well, what's next?"
