Lin Hao listened to Erfa's words and thought carefully. Had he done anything outrageous recently? He searched his mind but found nothing.
Seeing the cub's confused look, staring at him with wide, unblinking eyes, Erfa's heart ached inexplicably for a moment, but it quickly vanished.
What was that feeling? It was strange; he had never felt it when looking at the cub before.
He quickly tidied up thoughts that did not belong to him. The cracked face returned to its original appearance. He then strode before Lin Hao, bowed his head, and presented the collected information to the cub.
He then said respectfully, "This is the information your subordinate has collected over the past few days. Please review it, Your Majesty."
After saying this, he silently retreated to his original position.
Lin Hao was somewhat puzzled by Erfa's unusual behavior, but with important matters at hand, he chose to focus on them. He would ask Erfa about his problems later when he had time.
Having made up his mind, he lowered his head and carefully examined the documents Erfa had handed him.
"You'd better stop that line of thought," Hill said to Erfa telepathically, leaning against the wall.
Erfa, standing aside, heard Hill's words. He glanced towards Hill and then replied telepathically, "I know."
"It's good that you know. Don't desire people or things that do not belong to you," Hill said, and then stopped speaking to Erfa.
Upon hearing this, Erfa glanced at the cub who was still engrossed in reading the documents. He then lowered his head, closed his eyes tightly, and banished all the thoughts that had just surfaced from his mind.
When he opened his eyes, his gaze towards Lin Hao had returned to its original warmth and respect.
That unknown emotion had been successfully expelled by Erfa.
Meanwhile, Lin Hao had finished reading the documents. He had many things on his mind, unsure whether to speak them or not.
The insectoids, who had finally faded from public view, were now returning in this manner.
Was what he was doing now right or wrong?
One reason was that he genuinely hoped people would recognize the insectoids anew; they were just different from humans and had no interest in them. Another reason was the common enemy. To protect his insectoid kin, they had to choose to fight.
He had always believed that this kind of mutual support would lead to gradual acceptance.
But now.
The entire interstellar network seemed less concerned about the 'unknown creature' and more focused on the insectoids, or rather, on him, the new Insect King.
"Tell me, was I wrong to do this?" Lin Hao clenched the interstellar network device in his hands and slowly raised his head, looking at his insectoid kin. The former determination in his eyes was gradually replaced by doubt, and he asked them the question weighing on his heart.
Perhaps, they really shouldn't have come out?
"Your Majesty, please do not doubt your decisions, for you are always right. And your subordinate will always stand before you," Hill said firmly, slowly walking from the wall to Lin Hao's bedside, looking into the cub's confused eyes.
Cub, you don't need to doubt your thoughts. Whether right or wrong, your subordinate will always charge ahead of you, shielding you from all gossip and harm.
At this moment, Erfa also came to the cub's bedside. Looking into the cub's eyes, he said, "Your Majesty, you never need to doubt your decisions, because all insectoids believe you are always correct."
Seeing the cub's distressed expression, he now regretted giving him the document.
Indeed, he should have eliminated those humans long ago.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, your subordinate will stand by your side, even if it means opposing the entire universe," Yasilan said, kneeling on one knee before Lin Hao.
"Right, right! No human in the entire universe has dared to stare down Hua Hua."
"Your Majesty, you are always right."
"Your Majesty, don't be sad, cheer up quickly. You still haven't given me a grand name."
"Cub, I will always ensure your happiness."
"Cub is always right!"
Lin Hao's dejected mental power instantly swept across the entire insectoid race. Seeing the cub unhappy, all the insectoids put down their work and gathered in the group chat to comfort him.
If they had known the cub would suffer losses in the Federation, they wouldn't have listened to him and stayed to guard the planet.
They should have gone with the cub.
Why go?
Since the cub was bullied, of course, they had to go and defend him.
Otherwise, the cub would have been bullied for nothing?
Hearing their words, the gloom in Lin Hao's heart instantly dissipated. The wavering in his heart gradually solidified under the comfort of his insectoid kin.
It was even more resolute than before.
Having thought this through, Lin Hao looked down at the interstellar network device in his hands and let out a soft laugh.
Heh, let them misunderstand if they want.
He had originally wanted to ease the relationship between insectoids and humans.
If they hadn't come to cause trouble, they could have coexisted and cooperated peacefully.
If some people were truly looking for a fight.
Then, at worst, they would go to war.
He had figured it out now anyway. The primary reason for participating in this war was to protect his species; easing relations was secondary.
After all, he was an insectoid now. What did it matter to him how humans fared?
"I've made up my mind. If any ignorant individuals insist on provoking us, then let's go to war," Lin Hao said slowly, raising his head to look at them with a smile.
The warlike genes from his past life seemed to be awakening within this body.
How nostalgic.
He wasn't afraid of gaining another enemy anyway.
All the insectoids, upon hearing their King's command, knelt on one knee and said in unison, "As you command, Your Majesty."
Lin Hao then casually posted a video on the interstellar network.
In the video.
Lin Hao smiled at the camera and said, "Hello everyone, I suspect you all know my identity by now, and perhaps my strength as well. The main reason for coming to the alliance this time is out of concern that you might be wiped out by that thing. If that happens, they can focus their entire attack on my race, which I believe would be very difficult for me. That's why I decided to come to the alliance. However, you must note one thing: an alliance is not mandatory for us. If anyone accidentally breaks this fragile alliance, our insectoid race is not afraid of gaining another enemy. After all, the insectoids of today are not the insectoids of the past. Lastly, I hope we can cooperate happily."
Erfa and the others remained silent, staying by Lin Hao's side.
However, their expressions had already revealed their state of mind.
This single video instantly caused a sensation throughout the universe.
Mini-theater:
Ahhh, Ri Tian A has ascended, I love it, I love it so much, do you love it?
Lin Hao: If we can't get along, then let's go to war.
Erfa: Cub is always right.
Guazi: Violence, big hug, big hug.
Do I still need to check?
Sensible children have obediently left their daily updates in the comment section.
I'll leave mine first. Today I drew a phone wallpaper, wrote 2000 words, and spent half an hour on Pasha.
What about you guys?
Finally, I still love you all.
