The same room.
Lin Hao, sitting on the bed, as their king, already knew their thoughts without even using his mental power.
The girl before him was probably thinking that seeing him was the greatest regret of her life.
Lin Hao couldn't help but want to cover his forehead upon seeing this scene, but this action was too undignified for their king with so many insects present, so he suppressed it.
He cleared his throat and said to Michelle, who was kneeling, "Please get up quickly. Regardless, you've truly worked hard all these years. This is an undeniable fact."
So don't be so modest.
Because he had learned everything from the inheritance, and he knew her contributions to the insect race over the years.
Michelle, standing opposite him, heard Zai Zai speak. As she looked up, intending to say something more to Zai Zai, the Navy Captain walked up to her, looked down at her, and said with some urgency, "Go and check the King. Is there anything else?"
Xil actually didn't want to disturb Michelle and Zai Zai's reunion at first. But she had just seen Zai Zai sitting on the bed looking pale, and what's more, there were tears in his eyes.
Was Zai Zai in pain somewhere?
Upon realizing this, Xil quickly walked to Michelle's side.
After all, this was not the time for pleasantries. The most important thing now was Zai Zai's health. As for introductions, there would be plenty of time later.
Michelle seemed to sense the Captain's anxiety and quickly got up, coming to Lin Hao's bedside. With a hint of apology in her voice, she said, "Forgive my rudeness, Your Majesty."
After saying this, Michelle lifted Lin Hao's shirt. Then, her slender hands slowly moved towards his body.
Just as she was about to make contact, she stopped. Then, she slowly released her mental power, meticulously directing it to examine Zai Zai's body.
Lin Hao, the one being examined, was shocked by everything before him but remained silent. After all, he knew that these insects were concerned about him.
So he should just obediently follow the doctor's instructions.
He did have one question, though: could he be notified next time he was to be examined? Being suddenly exposed like this was, to be honest, a little awkward.
After all, he was a grown man. While there was no gender in front of a doctor,
it was still awkward to suddenly face a beautiful woman.
It would be better to be informed in advance.
After less than a minute of examination, Michelle looked up and said to him, "There's nothing wrong. However, for the next period, I hope Your Majesty will rest well and refrain from using your mental power like this again. Excessive use of mental power can damage the user's origin."
Lin Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said to Michelle, "I understand. I'll be careful next time. I know my own body, so you don't need to worry."
The last sentence was directed at all the insects in the group.
Because of the events of the past few days, he could clearly feel that all the insects in the group were in a state of high tension.
As their king, now that he had woken up, he still needed to give them some reassurance.
Otherwise, they would continue to worry about him.
However, he would not change.
Lin Hao then silently added this thought to himself.
Just like the vow he made back then, he, Lin Hao, would never let them be harmed again.
Absolutely.
Meanwhile, in another villa...
It was not as peaceful as this room.
Zhao Feier, the owner of the room, knelt on the floor littered with glass shards. The room was silent, and the wind outside raged against the windows, yet the girl remained kneeling motionlessly.
The wounds on her knees, which had already healed, reopened from kneeling, and the glass on the floor, stained with blood, became even more alluring.
Zhao Feier wore a long white dress, her flowing hair casually falling to her waist.
Opposite her, a mobile phone was placed.
The old man in the phone was leisurely sipping red wine. The brand-new StarNet was broadcasting the popular "Unknown Organisms" of the past few days. Behind him was a map of the entire empire's interstellar airspace. The items on his desk were from ancient Earth, such as jade and agate. Every corner of the room exuded luxury.
And yet, the two of them were caught in a bizarre situation.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Jianye, in the phone, put down his wine glass and slowly said to Zhao Feier, "Failed again?"
Zhao Feier simply looked up at Zhao Jianye after hearing this and said nothing.
Zhao Jianye, on the phone, was not angered by Zhao Feier's attitude. He slowly stood up, leisurely walked to a corner of the room, entered a password, and took something out from inside.
He casually tossed the item onto the table. Zhao Jianye then smiled condescendingly at Zhao Feier through the phone and said, "Your things, don't you want them anymore?"
Zhao Feier, who had been kneeling on the ground, instantly stood up upon seeing the item he took out. The composure on her face was immediately replaced by anxiety.
Due to her rapid movement, her vision blacked out from prolonged blood loss. Zhao Feier shook her head vigorously, trying to clear her head.
Her long dress was stained with blood. She staggered to the phone and quickly picked it up, shouting at him, "Zhao Jianye, give me that."
Zhao Feier's voice was filled with an intense desire for the item and a determination to possess it.
'Why, why? Didn't I burn this thing myself? How is it still here?'
'This must be fake. It's definitely a fake that Zhao Jianye found to control me.'
'This time, she definitely won't be fooled.'
Although Zhao Feier tried to console herself in her heart, her eyes were still glued to the item on the table, with no intention of looking away.
'What if this really is Mumu's, and I didn't get it back? Will Mumu be very angry when he finds out? Even if he sends everyone to accompany him, he'll still be angry without this item.'
'Yes, I absolutely cannot let Mumu be angry, even if this item is a fake.'
'She must get this item.'
Short Scene:
Mumu, I won't let you be angry, just like before.
