[What are they whispering about?]
[Am I the only one doubting whether Lin Zhile is really a three-year-old kid?]
[Upstairs, you are not the only one. He speaks a bit too fluently for a three-year-old child.]
[I really didn't notice it during Weiwei's livestream since he barely talks. He's way too intelligent for a three-year-old.]
[Ah... I'm still reveling in the fact that a living AI mecha is about to be born. No, it's already born!!]
[Wait, didn't they say that the AI in Black Abyss is currently this so called soul?]
[So technically, it isn't Black Abyss that's being born, but the AI?]
[Hmm, if I remember correctly, the AI is called Mingming.]
[It's weird calling it Mingming, especially with that appearance. Let's just stick with Black Abyss.]
[Ahhh! Someone stop that little dragon!!]
The comments section suddenly exploded when they saw Yu Ziyou launch himself onto Black Abyss.
To be honest,Yu Ziyou had no intention of attacking it before. Besides, he was in the wrong, even though he still felt aggrieved over the pain he had suffered. And he definitely didn't dare cause trouble again with Lin Zhile around.
Lin Zhile's beating hurt more than Yu Weiwei's, even though he rarely hit him and mostly just ignored him. At least when Yu Weiwei hit him, he treated him as a child, so the beating wasn't really that painful.
Lin Zhile, however, didn't care.
He had absolutely no concept of holding back.
But while Lin Zhile and Xiao Baobao were discussing things, the so called Black Abyss, which was supposed to have gone into hibernation, was secretly using its spiritual power to hit Yu Ziyou.
Black Abyss felt aggrieved.
It couldn't defeat Lin Zhile, nor could it attack Xiao Baobao. Besides, Yu Ziyou had attempted to hurt it just now. If it hadn't used the spiritual power it had been saving up for years to move its body, it would have been destroyed.
Now, it had lost all of its accumulated spiritual power.
It wasn't wrong for it to take a little revenge, right?
Yu Ziyou immediately became angry when he realized that it had hit him.
He could accept Lin Zhile and Yu Weiwei hitting him, but if anyone else dared to hit him, they would have to suffer his wrath.
Well, except Elara.
So Yu Ziyou attacked back without hesitation.
Although he couldn't use spiritual power or mental power, his physical strength wasn't something even an S level powerhouse could withstand without suffering some injuries.
Lin Zhile and Xiao Baobao immediately turned to look at the commotion.
Before either of them could react, the robots around them rushed forward and tried to stop Yu Ziyou, but they couldn't hold him back.
One of the robots even suffered a dent on its head.
Lin Zhile was so angry when he saw this that his expression darkened.
"YU! ZI! YOU!"
Yu Ziyou, who had already sunk his teeth into Black Abyss's arm, suddenly shivered.
A chill ran down his spine.
If he were a furry beast, his fur would have been standing straight up by now.
Before Yu Ziyou could even react, a scream suddenly interrupted him.
The scream frightened him so much that he immediately fell from Black Abyss's hand.
Lin Zhile, who had been charging toward Yu Ziyou, was also slightly surprised when he realized where the scream had come from.
Then his expression became a little strange before he turned his gaze toward Yu Ziyou, who was lying petrified on the floor.
Meanwhile, Xiao Baobao wore a look of pure horror.
"It's a girl!!" Xiao Baobao said in terror.
The scream had come from Black Abyss.
And it was a female voice.
Lin Zhile was slightly surprised that Black Abyss could still maintain consciousness. However, his brows soon furrowed when he realized something else.
Black Abyss's mecha body had become hers.
Unlike the three AI guardians, whose souls had developed mostly while they were in data form, Black Abyss had developed alongside her soul, so it naturally became her body.
That meant she could naturally feel pain.
Lin Zhile looked at Xiao Baobao in confusion after hearing his horrified shout.
"What's wrong with a girl?"
Xiao Baobao didn't answer immediately.
He simply smiled wearily.
Meanwhile, the netizens watching the livestream were completely stunned after hearing Black Abyss's scream. And when they heard Lin Zhile's question, there was a brief silence.
Then the entire comment section exploded with laughter.
[Hahahaha! Xiao Baobao is doomed, hahaha.]
[Hahahaha, I hope this female younger sister is a normal female.]
[Judging from her name and the personality of the AI, she definitely isn't a normal female.]
[That's true. She had been in battle for more than a century, so she definitely isn't.]
And why did Xiao Baobao react that way?
Xiao Baobao had been programmed to be cheerful and carefree, but there was also a little quirk added to his personality.
He was especially mischievous toward females, particularly those younger than him.
Technically, there was currently no female except Louise who was older than him.
But Xiao Baobao had hit a wall several times because of this.
Perhaps it was fate or something else, but every girl around Xiao Baobao was definitely not someone who could be easily dealt with.
Take Elara, for example.
Elara had a soft, sweet, innocent, and elegant appearance, especially with her pink hair and delicate features. However, she wasn't at all what she appeared to be.
After all, one really couldn't expect someone who had spent more than a decade on the battlefield to remain completely sweet and innocent.
When Xiao Baobao first met her, he had tried playing a few pranks on her.
The result?
His physical body had been torn apart into pieces by Elara.
Mind you, his physical body had been made with some of the most high end parts in the entire empire, yet she had torn it apart with her bare hands.
And the worst part was that Xiao Baobao could actually feel the pain of being torn apart.
Because his body had been programmed that way.
It was supposed to allow him to properly experience the sensations of his physical body.
Unfortunately, that also meant he could experience pain.
Apart from Elara, the other girls weren't that easy to deal with either.
After all, those related to the AI guardians or the Royal family weren't exactly sheep.
Some were from the military.
Some were ministers.
And then there were the ones from the research institute.
Those were the people who scared Xiao Baobao the most.
They had all sorts of ways to make Xiao Baobao regret being born.
And perhaps the most tragic part of all was that, because he had been programmed to behave this way, Xiao Baobao couldn't completely resist looking for trouble even when he already knew exactly how it would end.
He could know that he was going to suffer.
He could know that he was going to get beaten.
He could even know that his physical body might end up being dismantled piece by piece.
And yet...
He would still do it.
Because apparently, even being an AI guardian didn't mean he could escape the consequences of having a terrible personality quirk.
And the whole empire was aware of this trait. After all, every generation had witnessed Xiao Baobao's plight with women.
"Well, I'm really not good with women." Xiao Baobao's eyes darted around as he spoke, clearly having no intention of telling Lin Zhile about his dark history.
Though Lin Zhile was going to find out one day, Xiao Baobao would much rather keep it a secret until that day came.
Lin Zhile could tell that Xiao Baobao was hiding something, but he didn't really care.
Instead, he walked toward Yu Ziyou and Black Abyss.
However, the closer Lin Zhile got, the more wary Black Abyss became.
Lin Zhile frowned before assuring her by using his spiritual power to transmit a message that only the two of them could hear.
"Don't worry. I'm not interested in your low-level planet."
Black Abyss relaxed a little after hearing this.
Thinking about it carefully, Lin Zhile really had no reason to lie to her.
When Lin Zhile finally reached Yu Ziyou, he didn't say anything.
Instead, he took out a rope from his space and proceeded to bundle Yu Ziyou up like a dumpling, leaving only his head exposed.

Hi, author here! (≧▽≦)
So, I planned to start using Xiao Bai and Xiao Zi's formal names, which are Lin Zhile and Yu Ziyou respectively.
I also plan to change their names in the other chapters as well. I just realised I have mixed up their names. Even Xiao Zi who is Yu Ziyou was called an entirely different name. Sorry for the inconvenience! (╥﹏╥)
And I got discharged today, yay!! (≧▽≦) ♡
It was really awful being sick. I can't even remember most of this month properly. I only remember having one of the major exams of my life and being in a daze for most of the month. And now the month is almost gone...
Damn! (╥﹏╥)
