Chapter 1: Cannibalism

An Lang lay listlessly on the table, looking listless.

The attendant beside him was very worried. He tiptoed out and said to the guard at the door, "Your Highness has been in poor condition since he had a high fever the day before yesterday. After waking up today, he has been motionless. We should ask Lord Mantis to come and take a look."

Soon, a very tall man in classical robes appeared in the corridor. His dark robe was embroidered with four-sided Ruyi cloud dragon patterns, which was extremely exquisite. Two jade knives shaped like crescent moons were hung on his trousers, crossing each other, which was the symbol of the head of the Mantis clan.

"Anlang, how is it?"

An Lang's heart trembled when he looked at him. The reason was simple: the person who came was the "mother" of this body.

Yes! Mother!

The kind that gave birth to him!

The place he was in was not his original time, and the 'people' around him were not even of the same race as him! And he was certainly not the original owner, Anlang Cofelin.

This is the Zerg tribe. There is no distinction between males and females, but they are divided into males, females and sub-females.

God knows how he got here. After finishing the mock exam, he couldn't wait to open his mobile phone and rub his hands to get an SSR.

While waiting for the bus, a golden retriever suddenly emerged from the green belt chasing a child. The driver was frightened and slammed on the brakes but was unable to avoid it.

An Lang took two steps at a time, grabbed the child's collar and threw him forward, but he couldn't get back.

The bus came straight at him and slammed him into the bus stop.

Walking your dog without a leash is like walking the dog alone, scaring the kittens, and you are just a complete idiot.

The thought flashed through An Lang's mind, and he felt the noise gradually fading away. In a trance, he saw his cell phone screen light up.

Hey, did my card win?

After the complex and gorgeous special effects, a character card with white hair and pink eyes appeared.

Is this character in this game?

Hide the card face?

Holy shit, the European Emperor is actually himself?!

See who dares to call him a non-African! ! !

He wanted to see the introduction on the card clearly, but the font became increasingly blurred, and he could only vaguely see two words.

Mantis?

Then everything went dark before his eyes, and all that remained in the world was the gradually fading cries for help.

——

Seeing An Lang's daydreaming, the tall man frowned.

"Anlang, the '□□' is long gone, and cannibalism no longer exists. You don't have to worry. That was a trap set by the locusts. Don't fall for it."

Man, no, the female insect's voice brought An Lang back to reality, and he swallowed silently.

Brother, it’s so easy for you to say that. You are the one who eats your own kind, and I am the one who is eaten!

In fact, the original owner was a male insect who was about to reach adulthood. As the son of the Mantis tribe leader and a male insect, his status was naturally respected. He was well protected and developed an arrogant and domineering character.

However, the mantis tribe's mortal enemy, the locust tribe, secretly guided the original owner and made him watch a bloody and brutal act of cannibalism - the female mantis in the sex scene bit off the male insect's head in one bite.

The original owner, who was about to choose a concubine, was so frightened that he fainted on the spot and then died of a persistent high fever.

The person who woke up in this body was An Lang, who had just finished the mock exam.

Although the original owner was dead, the fear of female insects still remained in his body. As a result, An Lang, who traveled through time, had nightmares for several nights in a row about a mantis pulling his head off.

An Lang also dreamed that after his death, Black Cat Sheriff successfully solved the case and caught the murderer.

But what's the use? !

#The shadow of childhood returns#

He woke up in a cold sweat and was determined to escape the fate of becoming a crumb.

"Anlang," the female insect said in a low voice, hinting at a hint of anger, though not directed at him. "Those few locusts that sneaked in have already been executed. Don't let this happen to you."

However, Anlang's current body was already completely PTSD-stricken. He couldn't help but shudder at the sight of the female insect. Even though this female insect was his physical 'mother', he was still terrified.

Lindbergh Kofilin looked at the little male insect's hands clenching on his pants and couldn't help but sigh. "The Mantis Clan is brave and invincible, but Mantis Clan males are rare, and the number of pure-blooded Mantis Clan is decreasing day by day. You are about to reach adulthood, and you are a pure-blood. Even if you don't choose a female, you still need to get close to a Mantis Clan female."

"I have summoned warriors from all branches of the Mantis Clan. The Bamboo Throwing Banquet will be held soon. If you see anyone you like, you may as well get in touch with him or her so that the Mantis Clan can expand." Lindbergh said earnestly.

It’s not that he wants to force An Lang, but he is the only pure-blooded male insect of this generation. If An Lang doesn’t marry for a long time, the noble female insects will take action sooner or later.

An Lang exclaimed, "Wow!" Hearing this, didn't these words really mean:

You don't have to get married, but you can have some fun. I've already chosen the candidates for you. If you like them, just sleep with them. It would be best if you could get a nasty bastard.

???

What a unique sex education!

The "Three Good Students" who were born under the red flag and raised under the red flag would never do such a thing! Not to mention that they are insects! They are mantises!

After the clan leader left, An Lang lay on the bed pretending to be dead. The waiter said worriedly, "Your Highness..."

An Lang turned over and looked at the flaxen-haired female in front of him. This person had been taking care of him in the past few days since he woke up. Judging from her status, she should be his personal attendant.

He had gradually accepted the fact of his time travel and now wanted to know more about the situation: "Zhong Tao, I can't remember some things after I fainted, so I want to ask you."

The female nodded and replied meekly, "Your Highness, please speak."

"Are there any other Zerg besides the Mantis and Locust?"

Zhong Tao already knew that His Highness had lost his memory after a high fever, so he didn't find it strange and answered honestly, "There are many insect tribes, but the mantis, ant, butterfly, spider, and bee tribes are the five most prominent."

"Can different races marry each other?"

"Of course." Zhong Tao nodded, "We are all Zerg."

Seeing An Lang breathe a sigh of relief, Zhong Tao suddenly realized something. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, you are the most talented pure-blooded male insect of this generation of the Mantis Clan. For the future of the Mantis Clan, if nothing unexpected happens, your female monarch must also be a Mantis Clan female insect."

An Lang: "Help...Help!"

Seeing An Lang's bad face, fearing that he would get angry, Zhong Tao knelt down and said anxiously: "Your Highness, calm down."

An Lang quickly reached out to help him: "Why are you kneeling down? The ground is so cold. Well, it's not your fault, it's just that I handed in the paper early..."

Zhong Tao didn't understand what An Lang was saying, but that didn't stop him from worrying. He comforted An Lang, "Don't be afraid, Your Highness. The Mantis Tribe has long since strictly prohibited cannibalism. Males are cherished, so how could a female be so bold as to take a male..."

It has long been banned.

So, it's happened before, right?

An Lang looked at Zhong Tao with deathly eyes. Zhong Tao was worried that An Lang was completely afraid of the female mantis insects, so he hurriedly explained: "In the '□□' era, food was scarce, and it wasn't just the mantises that were cannibals. The spiders and midges also practiced cannibalism!"

An Lang:?!

Zhong Tao realized that he had said something wrong again, so he simply stopped talking, knelt down and put his head on the floor: "Your Highness, please punish me!"

He was not originally the prince's personal attendant, but was transferred here because the prince had an accident and was now afraid of female insects. He was also one of the best fighters among the sub-females.

"Hey, get up quickly, get up quickly..."

An Lang sighed and asked, "My female father..."

He paused and continued, "Who is the female insect that was summoned earlier?"

An Lang's face twisted when he said the word "summoned", which reminded him of the palace fighting dramas his mother watched when he was a child.

Zhong Tao replied, "The Mantis Tribe has several sub-races. Each of them sent females and sub-females of appropriate age. Your Highness's female monarchs and female servants have all been chosen from these."

"There are 109 of them summoned this time. Your Highness will be able to see a few of them at the Bamboo Throwing Feast."

"What does the Bamboo Throwing Feast mean?" An Lang asked nervously, "Do I have to appoint a female ruler and a female servant?"

No way! Are Zerg marriages so casual?

Zhong Tao shook his head slightly, and An Lang's expression lightened up a bit, then he continued to explain, "At the Bamboo Throwing Feast, His Highness only needs to select ten bamboo throwers to live in the palace."

After all, there were many female insects at the concubine selection ceremony, and most of them had only a brief encounter with His Highness the Male Insect.

However, His Highness is the son of the Mantis Lord, and the female ruler and female servant he chooses will determine the future of the Mantis Clan. A quick interview is far from enough, so a preliminary selection session has been added: the Bamboo Throwing Feast.

The more powerful sub-races within the mantis tribe will have the opportunity to move into the palace early and have dinner with the male insects. If a male insect is interested in someone, he can give him the special bamboo paper in his hand, and the several female insects who receive the bamboo paper will have the opportunity to stay in the palace for three months.

During this period, if the female insect wins the favor of the male insect, she can successfully become a female servant or even a female queen.

The female insects that have caught the eye of male insects and are given bamboo paper are called bamboo throwers.

After Zhong Tao finished explaining, he looked up and saw An Lang's expression as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Your Highness?" Zhong Tao shouted anxiously. If he angered the male insect, his end would be very miserable.

"Will I... have ten wives in the future?" An Lang asked anxiously. One mantis was already too much for him to handle, so what about ten...

"Your Highness, you can only have one female queen." Wife also means female queen in the Zerg slang. All male Zergs have only one female queen, even Your Highness is no exception.

Zhong Tao was afraid that An Lang would get angry, so he quickly added, "But according to the ancestral system, you can choose twelve female servants. If it's female slaves, there is no limit."

"But Your Highness, the Mantis Clan is belligerent. If the harem is too full, I'm afraid..." Zhong Tao warned. The male insect of the previous Mantis Lord died...

This is also the reason why only ten can be selected by throwing bamboo. Although the palace is large, it is very easy for fights to break out when so many single female insects are gathered together. Biting off the wings is a small matter, but scaring His Highness is absolutely unacceptable.

Zhong Tao suddenly stopped talking. He realized that he had overstepped the line and quickly knelt on the ground.

An Lang raised his hand tiredly to signal him to get up, then touched his face again.

God is jealous of talented people.

Could it be that he won’t live to be eighteen in both of his lifetimes combined?
