"What's the matter, Your Highness? Did I do something wrong and you are angry with me?" The white-haired king insect took the lead. He sat down next to Wen Yuxiao intimately, and his slender bony fingers casually tucked the white hair hanging from his temples behind his ears, making him look particularly gentle and virtuous.

Wen Yuxiao shook her head and hesitantly explained, "I... I just feel that we are too close. Besides, have you ever thought that I might not be the real Queen?"

The priest followed her wishes and pretended to be in deep thought. He put his fingers on his lips and lowered his eyes. He did not use the verified facts to force her to dispel her doubts. He just complained that he found the other party too late. The queen had suffered so much that it was difficult for her to trust others, so it was okay to blame them, the king insects, for their poor search.

In that case, he happened to be prepared.

Without giving any instructions to the terminal, he hooked his finger at the door of his room upstairs, and the invisible mental power opened the door and dragged the metal suitcase over.

The box was placed steadily on the table in front of them. The priest reached out and placed his fingerprints on it. With a click, the box equipped with the most advanced space folding technology opened.

There are five layers inside the box, each layer is as big as an ordinary suitcase, and there are different partitions. It is hard to imagine that there is so much space in a small suitcase.

There wasn't much in the suitcase. He passed by the set of sophisticated scientific instruments on the first layer and calmly took out a black collar and a small red button with a protective shell from the second layer. It looked a bit like a car key.

Wen Yuxiao watched the other person's actions silently, her eyes lingering more on the suitcase. Compared to the strange-looking collar, this high-tech thing was more attractive to her.

She had heard about the space folding technology a long time ago. Almost all the suitcases sold on the market were foldable into two or three layers. Even so, the prices were so expensive that she would never look at it a second time. So how expensive must this five-layer suitcase be?

The crisp sound of "click" called her attention back. She looked at the priest, who had just put on the collar. The pure black item was tightly bound around his overly white neck, looking very oppressive. She couldn't help but worry that he would suffocate due to the tightness.

Before Wen Yuxiao could even start to wonder, the King Insect, after performing a series of strange moves, handed the button to her. When she hesitantly took the red button of unknown function in her hand, he slowly began to introduce it.

He smiled, looking very happy and content, like a puppy wagging its tail. "Your Highness, you think I'm too dangerous and uncontrollable, right?"

"It's okay. Just press the button and this collar will blow my head off. Other Zergs might survive even if their heads are blown off, but I'm using my mental power, so if my head is blown off, I'll definitely die."

"Your Highness, would you please give it a try?"

The smile of the white-haired king insect was like thick and sticky honey that enveloped her completely. He reached out and opened the protective cover of the button for the silent queen in front of him. His expectant gaze fell on her, like a poisonous snake spitting out red tongue, coiling around her and approaching her.

He really hopes to be killed by me... Wen Yuxiao read the sweet yearning in the other's eyes, and felt a chill in his heart. He looked at the button in his hand.

If she pressed the button at this moment, the king insect's head might be blown to pieces in front of her, turning it into a horrible headless corpse. Or it might just be a little joke, and nothing would happen after she pressed the button.

Would you like to make a bet with me, Your Highness?

She heard the King Insect whispering in her ear that he was betting his most precious life and begging her to give him the trust he desired.

This cunning and treacherous bug... Wen Yuxiao closed the lid with shaking hands and ordered angrily, "Put your hand out!"

The white-haired king insect obediently stretched out his two palms, knowing that he had won the moment his mother closed the lid. Sure enough, the button was forcefully stuffed back into his hand by the other party.

"I don't want this thing, keep it for yourself." Wen Yuxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief after discarding the hot potato. She had considered accepting it as a lifeline in the event she was abandoned later, but then she thought, since the person was so smart, there was no way they would leave a way out. Even if she was smart, she couldn't outsmart these spirited bugs, so she simply returned it.

"Then can we stay with His Highness in the future?" The priest made an increasingly demanding request. The pure black collar was still on his neck. Wen Yuxiao got a headache when he saw this.

The defeated queen sighed helplessly and said, "Of course I can... Take off that collar!"

The King Bug's fingers touched the collar, revealing a playful smile. "This can't be taken off. When it was made, I thought it would be easy for Your Highness to kill me, so it was made non-removable."

Wen Yuxiao raised his hands in surrender and slipped to the sofa on the other side.

In the kitchen, the priest smiled, his entire body bubbling with happiness. He was meticulously preparing dinner when the terminal suddenly popped up and started chatting with him: "I never thought you had such a trick up your sleeve."

The king insect pretended not to hear and quickly cut the vegetables under his hand into small pieces.

"I too want to entrust my life to Your Highness..." The terminal sighed, "When will Mother arrive at the research institute on the main planet? I, too, want to see her."

While processing the meat, the priest mocked mercilessly: "You'd better not scare your mother with this product that goes against human common sense and cognition." As he said that, he stabbed the head of the shrimp jumping on the chopping board with a knife.

"How cruel! Didn't everyone agree to the experiment?" the terminal sneered. Though clearly an artificial intelligence, it possessed a remarkable amount of emotion. "If Mother were to be afraid, she'd be afraid of you, these emotionless, horrible monsters. I'm just a pitiful little bug tricked into a human experiment. Mother would feel sorry for me."

"Get lost." The priest said briefly and clearly didn't want to chat with him. He used his mental strength to shake off the dancing mechanical arms, and suddenly wanted to tear them apart.

But thinking about what my mother would do if it was torn, I held back.

Wen Yuxiao felt like she was being kept in captivity. Ever since the priest put on the collar, his behavior had become much more unbridled than before. Now he threw her on the sofa, buried his face in her lower abdomen and rubbed it, unwilling to lift it up.

The elegant king insect before seemed to be just her illusion, and this big insect that was so clingy that it wanted to stay close to her all the time was the real one. Wen Yuxiao calmly pulled his soft white hair.

"If you don't get up, I'm going to kick you." She warned casually. Just as she was about to reach out for the fresh fruit on the table, a robotic arm hanging from the ceiling peeled off the hard skin of the fruit she liked and handed it to her mouth.

As usual, she bit the fruit flesh with the mechanical arm. Seeing that the priest showed no remorse and had no intention of getting up, Wen Yuxiao's hot breath still sprayed on her sensitive parts. She could no longer bear it and raised her knee to push the other's chest and abdomen hard: "Let go quickly!"

The King Insect groaned, loosened his hand, and looked up at her with a flushed face. There was a hint of water in his blue eyes, and the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye was even more charming and attractive.

Wen Yuxiao was silent. She used her hands and feet to escape from the other person's arms and climbed onto the sofa on the other side.

The priest smoothed down his messy hair and leaned closer again, looking pitiful. "Because I'm about to return to the Zerg Tribe, I really miss leaving Your Highness, so I wanted to get closer to you and hold you a little longer."

"Are you going back to the Zerg?" Wen Yuxiao asked, and suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was a king Zerg who held an important position. He must have had a lot of things to do in the past half month without going back. Ignoring the slight sense of loss in her heart, she thought about it and decided that it was time for her to set off for the ABO galaxy.

"Yes." The white-haired king insect nodded and explained to the queen, "Although the subordinates I have trained can help me solve most of the problems, there are still some things that require my personal intervention."

Thinking that she could take a breath if the other person left and no longer have to be held and clung to every day, Wen Yuxiao also started browsing the interstellar voyage tickets. Although there was still some time before she had to report to school, she couldn't continue to stay in this house eating and drinking for free, so she might as well go to the school in advance to take a look.

"Is Your Highness going to that galaxy?" Just as she was thinking about it, the priest graciously peeled a piece of fruit for her and said with a smile, "It's on our way. Let's go together. I can take you there in a starship."

Is it on the way? Wen Yuxiao was a little hesitant. In fact, she still couldn't figure out how to read the interstellar map. In daily life, people also rely on smart navigation. But it's not appropriate for a priest to go to the ABO galaxy, right?

"Don't worry, Your Highness." The priest saw through her concerns immediately. Over the past few days, he hadn't learned much else, but he had learned how to observe the Queen's micro-expressions to gauge her current mood. Knowing she was a little worried, he took the initiative to explain, "War is only temporary; interests are eternal."

Before leaving, the priest gave her a three-layer space folding box. He originally wanted to give her his five-layer one, but he thought that this technology was still exclusive to the Zerg and had not been made public. If it was discovered by someone with ulterior motives, there would definitely be trouble. So he asked the terminal to contact the Zerg and send her the best model currently on the market.

Wang Chong kindly asked her if she wanted to go back and pack her luggage. Wen Yuxiao twisted her fingers, thinking that she didn't have anything and decided not to go back. The priest's items were too complete. The clothes alone filled up the space of a folding box.

"These clothes feel really good." She touched the daisy blue dress she was wearing, confirming that she hadn't seen any tags or anything on the clothes, so it was probably custom-made.

The priest's smile faded instantly, as if he had thought of something bad, but he still patiently explained to her, "It was made by a wealthy businessman. The materials used are his own silk and some other materials he foraged."

After learning the truth, Wen Yuxiao's curiosity vanished without a trace. She wondered why she had to bring it up. There were only a few types of insects that could produce silk, and considering the original novel's decision, it had to be a spider. Coincidentally, spiders were her biggest fear in both her past and present lives, the very sight of which would make her scream.

So, now she is wearing clothes made of spider silk... Wen Yuxiao decided to delete this matter from her mind.

As she left on the starship, she kept looking longingly at the small house where she once lived. Although the environment there was not very good, with water and electricity often cut off for no reason and the neighbors noisy, but with good friends there, she felt that life was not so difficult.

It's inevitable to feel a little sad to leave now.

"Your Highness." Two words suddenly appeared on the glass in front of him, followed by a smiling face. After using cuteness to appease the queen, the terminal typed out what it really wanted to say on the glass: "Don't worry, she will live the life she wants, happy and carefree."

The priest sitting next to her glanced at the glass and thought that this artificial intelligence was really abominable. It was only trying to please her. It would be better if it just crashed.
