At this time on Insect King Star.
Lin Hao sat in the living room with a serious expression. The door that had been violently damaged by Yasi Lan that morning had long since been repaired by Erfa.
Erfa and Xi Er sat quietly in front of Lin Hao.
"What do you think we should do next?" Lin Hao asked the insectoids in front of him with a weary look on his face, his tone filled with concern.
He hadn't expected that a creature from such a distant interstellar border could reach them. He had thoroughly investigated before, so how did that creature suddenly appear here? And it was an adult, seemingly on par with the one he had encountered at the Alliance meeting.
Was all of this a mere coincidence?
But no one had visited this remote place recently.
No, not no one. Qin Mohan had visited.
As Lin Hao was eliminating the reasons for all this happening in his mind, he suddenly remembered Qin Mohan had been here.
But even if that person had visited, he didn't seem to have any problems.
Ah!
What on earth was going on?
'I don't want the insectoids to get hurt.'
Every time Lin Hao thought of Yasi Lan's wound, his heart ached.
Erfa, sitting opposite Lin Hao, saw the cub's sadness due to Yasi Lan's injury, and his heart involuntarily ached.
He stood up, walked to Lin Hao's side, reached out, and slowly stroked Lin Hao's head. He said in a soft voice, "King, do not be sad. Their sacrifice is glorious. And even if that thing comes here, we will protect you at all costs."
Because it is our nature.
Even at the cost of our lives, this subject will protect your safety.
Xi Er, sitting next to Erfa, naturally saw the cub's sadness. However, she did not choose to comfort him verbally like Erfa. Instead, she quietly came to Lin Hao's side and used her actions to tell the cub.
She would also protect the cub with her life.
Then, looking into the cub's eyes, she said with a somewhat serious tone, "King, now is not the time for sadness. It is time to further determine the number of that unknown creature."
The sooner the number of this thing is determined, the sooner a counter-strategy can be planned, thus reducing unnecessary casualties.
Hearing the words of Erfa and Xi Er, Lin Hao finally pulled himself out of his sadness. Now was not the time for sadness.
There would be plenty of time for revenge later.
As Xi Er said, the main task now was to scout the number of that thing.
But then the question arose: who should be sent to scout?
Not to mention the terrifying strength of that creature, what if it seized the opportunity when all forces were deployed and attacked Insect Star? It would be terrible if they returned from scouting only to find their home gone.
So, who should be sent?
"I'll go."
Just as Lin Hao was agonizing over this, a young boy's voice suddenly came from behind him.
Hearing the voice, Lin Hao turned his head in a daze and saw that fish, pale-faced, holding onto the banister and standing on the stairs.
While Lin Hao was still dazed, he felt a red shadow flash before his eyes.
When he looked at the fish again, he saw that Xi Er had already pinned the fish against the wall, her hands enclosing him in her arms, looking down at him.
Lin Hao's heart skipped a beat at this.
'Damn, Xi Er isn't going to hit this fish, is she?'
'Xi Er, calm down! This fish is still injured and can't take it!'
Xi Er, who had just seen the cub finally stop being sad and instead seem to be contemplating who to send, was about to lower her head and tell the King to let her go.
Although she didn't want to admit it, that insect Erfa was more powerful than her, so leaving Erfa to protect the cub was a good decision.
She thought everything would proceed as she imagined, but reality always played a joke on her.
When she saw the fish standing at the stairs, her mind went blank.
Was he serious?
Did he have any idea about his own injuries?
Hearing this, she instantly moved in front of Lan Jia Ruo, pushing him against the wall, her hands supporting him on either side. As she slowly lowered her head, the fuzz on his face became even clearer.
Looking at his face, she couldn't help but think.
How had she never noticed before that this fish was quite good-looking?
"Your Highness Princess, you are too close."
Just as Xi Er was about to lean in closer, she heard Lan Jia Ruo's faint voice from within her embrace.
At this moment, she suddenly saw that his face had turned red.
Like a peach, it made one want to take a bite. However, Xi Er slowly drew closer to his face and bit down hard on Lan Jia Ruo's cheek.
'Bang.'
This sound broke the eerie silence.
Lin Hao, who was observing from a distance, also snapped back to attention with the sound.
He turned his head and saw Erfa's retreating back.
Well.
The young man was angry.
Lin Hao looked at the chair lying on the ground and silently offered it a moment of silence.
The two people who had caused the commotion merely glanced at the chair and then paid it no further attention.
Xi Er looked at Lan Jia Ruo, who had shrunk to the ground. She also squatted down with him, gently lifting his head from her embrace so that his eyes met hers. Her tone softened as she said, "Why do you want to go?"
How many more of your formations could you still use?
Had you not considered the consequences?
However, she didn't ask these questions aloud. She was waiting, waiting for the person in front of her to explain himself about the consequences of the two formations he had used.
Lan Jia Ruo had not yet recovered from the bite from his Princess. He looked at his Princess in a daze and said, "This is the best way. Because I just sensed that the number of that creature is astonishing. If you or Erfa were to go, there would be no one to protect the Insect King. Therefore, the best way now is for me to go."
"Aren't you in danger too?"
Hearing this answer, Xi Er was almost amused to tears. She tightened her grip on Lan Jia Ruo's chin and said sternly.
What can you do in your current state?
Become an extra meal for that unknown creature?
This was truly the funniest joke she, Xi Er, had heard in years.
"Lan Jia Ruo, I'm telling you, you will never be able to leave me, not even if I die."
After saying this, Xi Er released her hand from Lan Jia Ruo's chin.
Lan Jia Ruo, lying on the ground, showed no expression. He just stared blankly at the Princess in front of him.
Little Theater:
Xi Er: You want to leave me?
Fish: I don't, I didn't, you're talking nonsense.
Melon Seeds: Do you like this super A Xi Er?
Although Xi Er used to have a mature and dominant image, this chapter's Xi Er is even more A than before, right?
Love you all, muah~~
