Lan Jia Ruo, upon hearing Xi Er's words, remained seated on the ground, gazing up at her Princess. After a few seconds, he slowly lowered his head, no longer meeting her eyes.
He then spoke to Xi Er in a stiff tone, "This matter, only I can do it. And, I hope that Princess will not joke with your own life in the future."
Because he was not worth it.
After saying this, Lan Jia Ruo quietly pulled himself free from Xi Er's embrace.
Just as he was getting up to leave, his arm was suddenly grabbed from behind.
He turned around hesitantly, his eyes filled with reluctance to leave his Princess, but it vanished completely in that single turn.
He glanced at Xi Er, who had apparently stood up at some point, and then at the hand holding his arm.
He suddenly let out a cold laugh. He took a step forward, stood on his tiptoes, and grabbed Xi Er's collar. The powerful grip stunned the previously angry Xi Er, who was then pulled down by Lan Jia Ruo.
Lan Jia Ruo looked at Xi Er, who obediently lowered her head, his face filled with disdain. He sneered at Xi Er, "Don't think that just because I called you Princess a few times, you actually are one, or that you can change my decisions. Ha, you're really funny. Who do you think you are?"
After saying this, Lan Jia Ruo released Xi Er's collar.
He even kindly tidied Xi Er's collar for her.
Feeling that it was tidy enough.
He glanced at Xi Er, who was still dazed, and took out a tissue from who knows where, gently wiping off all the places Xi Er had touched him.
Then he threw the tissue on the ground and walked towards his room.
As he reached the corner, he waved goodbye slowly to Xi Er without looking back, saying, "See you."
With that, he disappeared from Xi Er's sight.
Xi Er and Lin Hao, who had been a silent observer, remained standing there.
Lin Hao, witnessing this scene, was so shocked by the fish's behavior that he didn't know what to say.
Was this still the Lan Jia Ruo who couldn't move when he saw Xi Er?
Had he been possessed by something strange or swapped out?
Lin Hao then glanced at Xi Er, who was still in place, and then towards the direction Lan Jia Ruo had left. He didn't know whom to comfort.
Oh, and he had forgotten about Elfa, who had stormed out after throwing his chair.
Ah, why would such a dramatic scene appear here?
Isn't this supposed to be a sweet romance story with a world-saving plot?
Someone tell him who he should comfort first.
As Lin Hao agonized, Xi Er, who had been standing still, slowly turned to Lin Hao and said, "King, please go to your room and rest for a while. This subject will go and confirm some matters."
After saying this, Xi Er walked towards her room.
Hearing this and seeing the scene, Lin Hao could only softly grunt.
Since he was the only one left in the living room, Lin Hao felt bored and headed to his own room.
'Ding ding ding.'
Just as Lin Hao was about to reach his room door, the StarNet, which had been acting as decoration, suddenly rang.
This startled Lin Hao, who had been lost in thought.
Damn it, someone is trying to harm me.
Lin Hao had been contemplating the relationship between the three of them all along.
According to the inheritance from the previous Insect King, Elfa and Xi Er were merely childhood friends, not in the traditional sense, but rather rivals from childhood.
As for her relationship with that fish, Lin Hao had no idea.
Sigh, being an Insect King is so difficult.
No wonder the previous Insect King didn't want to be one anymore.
Wait?
This thought instantly popped into Lin Hao's mind.
?
Why would he have such an absurd thought?
Why would an Insect King not want to be an Insect King?
Was it because the relationships between Elfa and the other two were causing him to have delusions?
How could he think of such ridiculous things?
So, in the end, it was all because of this unexpectedly ringing StarNet.
Come on, let this Emperor see who is disturbing my contemplation.
Thinking of the still ringing StarNet, Lin Hao slowly took out the StarNet from his pocket and saw an incoming call request.
Lin Hao saw the note he had left for the person and accepted the call.
He looked at Xie Wen on the other side, whose face was somewhat flustered, and said, "What is it, Mr. President of the Federation?"
Why was this person video calling him so suddenly? Could there be something important?
Thinking of this, Lin Hao recalled the unknown creatures that Yaslan and the others had discovered approaching.
He seemed to have guessed what the President of the Federation was about to say.
On the other side of the StarNet, Xie Wen, seeing that the connection was finally established, let out a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know this Insect King, he always felt a sense of reliance from him.
After so many years, he had almost forgotten this feeling.
He summarized his words and said to Lin Hao via StarNet, "Insect King, it's not just the Federation, but also the Empire's approach to the main cities where traces of that thing have been found. However, even sending all our elite troops to eliminate them is useless. So I..."
Xie Wen found it difficult to say the rest, as it was embarrassing to ask for help from others for his own country's affairs.
But now, the only reliable method he knew was this newly established Insect King.
Therefore, after agonizing for several days, Xie Wen called the StarNet of this Insect King, which he had added during the last meeting.
He hoped that the Insect King could come and take a look when he had time.
When Lin Hao heard this, even though he had expected this issue, he hadn't expected it to be so serious. It had appeared near the main cities, wasn't that the same as their current predicament?
He looked into Xie Wen's eyes and said, "It's not that I don't want to go, but that the planet we are on is also surrounded. We truly have no other energy right now."
Although Lin Hao was momentarily surprised by this, he didn't immediately think of helping them.
After all, they were also in a tense situation.
Even though he wanted to bridge the gap between the Insect race and humans, Lin Hao's intention was not to do it now.
Firstly, his own race was facing potential danger.
Secondly, running to help others whenever they were in trouble at this time did not fit the image of the country Lin Hao desired.
The conditions for becoming a great nation were that one's own race was stable, and then, only when one had the time and energy, should one consider the affairs of other countries.
Xie Wen, standing opposite Lin Hao, naturally understood the hidden meaning behind Lin Hao's words and said to Lin Hao, "It's not easy for you guys either."
Then he hung up the StarNet.
Little Theater:
I've started a new book. Friends who are interested can take a look at the synopsis and add it to your bookshelf.
That book is a strong female lead.
Investing in the new book won't lose money. Adding it to your bookshelf to nurture it is also a good thing.
Love you all~~~
