Chapter 56: Two male insects fight for Pres. "Don't you understand that there is...
Press said, "Don't you understand the saying 'first come, first served'? If the Sixth Prince truly becomes the queen of another male insect, and you say something like that again, I'll call you a hero."
The cup was placed on the table with a dull sound. Press's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the other party was angry. He subconsciously looked over, only to find that Quest was slowly adjusting his collar and walking towards the Sixth Prince.
Press curled his lips and muttered, "You said you weren't anxious, but now you're running over there eagerly..."
After muttering, Press also wanted to follow, at least to leave some impression in front of the Sixth Prince. What if the other party liked someone like him?
He took a step forward, adjusting his dress as he walked. Although he was anxious, he could not lose his aristocratic demeanor.
A servant insect walked by, and Press caught sight of him out of the corner of his eye. He shouldn't have paid attention, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he instinctively called out to him, "Wait."
Lin Xi was moving towards Muas with the wine in his hand. Just as he was about to get close, he was suddenly stopped by a male insect. In order not to attract the insect's attention, Lin Xi had to stop.
"Sir, what do you want?"
Press looked at the other person. He was humble and submissive, no different from other servant insects, but he just felt that something was not right.
Press stroked his chin and couldn't help wondering, could it be that he had seen too many bold and ostentatious female insects in his daily life, so he wanted to eat some light porridge and side dishes occasionally?
Otherwise, why did he feel like he was interested in this servant insect?
Press took two steps forward, looked him over carefully, and then said, "Although you're not very good-looking, your eyes are pretty nice. Why don't you follow me?"
Press raised his chin and said, "Isn't it better than serving tea and water here, like a worm servant?"
Lin Xi: “…”
Lin Xi cursed in his heart.
Lin Xi wanted to spit at the male insect in front of her.
But for today's mission, Lin Xi had to endure it.
Just as the other person's hand was about to touch his face, Lin Xi dodged slightly and said before he could lose his temper, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Precious Male Insect. It's not that I don't want to agree to your request, but someone just asked me to save some wine for them. Due to that person's family background, I dare not offend him."
At a banquet, a male insect asks a serving insect to keep some wine for him, which means that he has taken a fancy to the insect. It is first come, first served. Even if other male insects take a fancy to the insect, they have to queue up behind him.
At a royal banquet, the male insects present are all wealthy, and it is not worth it to offend another male insect for the sake of a servant insect.
But Lin Xi looked very pitiful, and seemed unwilling to agree to the male insect, especially the words the other party said hit Press's heart directly, and it was the voice he liked.
At that moment, Press's hormones were overflowing, and his voice subconsciously softened a bit: "Don't be afraid, tell me which male insect it is, and I will help you deal with it."
Lin Xi rolled his eyes secretly.
But since he had lied, he had to cover it up. Lin Xi pointed at the male insects gathered around Muas and said, "That's the gentleman."
Press looked up and saw Quest's arrogant face.
Press had always disliked Quest, and with all the new and old hatreds added together, he was completely overwhelmed by the surging love and walked over quickly.
Quest was talking to the Sixth Prince, and he thought that his gentlemanly smile and aristocratic elegance would surely captivate the other party. In his heart, he looked down upon the male insects around him who were coveting his things.
In fact, Muas gave the same smile to every male insect, without even the curvature changing.
However, the Griffin family, to which Quest belongs, is very powerful, and even the Insect King has to give them some face. Muas would not spoil the other party's interest, so he just said a few more words.
This also caused Quest to narcissistically believe that he had occupied an important position in the Sixth Prince's heart, or had won his heart.
Quest smiled and said, "I wonder if I have the honor to invite the Sixth Prince to dance with me?"
Muas's brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly adjusted himself, so no one could see his true thoughts.
Muas said: "Sir Quest..."
"Quest! I need to talk to you about something!"
Quest was very dissatisfied with the sudden voice behind him, but when he turned around and saw that it was Press, he frowned and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"It's something important!" Press said.
Quest was a little unhappy, but Press ignored him and smiled apologetically at Muas: "Sixth Prince, I'm sorry to bother you. Quest and I have some private matters to discuss."
Muas gestured and said cheerfully, "Your Excellencies, please proceed as you please."
Quest was very dissatisfied. Before he even opened his mouth, Press made the decision for him without authorization. This made him wonder if the Eaton family was dissatisfied with the Griffin family and was trying to stir up trouble.
Press pulled Quest aside. Although Quest was unhappy, he didn't want to argue in public and lose face for the Griffin family.
Quest said dissatisfiedly: "What on earth do you want to say? Can't you wait until later?"
Press also knew that Quest was unhappy. If it were him, he would also be angry, but this matter was indeed very important.
Press looked in Linxi's direction, and Linxi gave him a smile. It was actually just a very shallow smile, but Press was instantly filled with passion and felt that it was nothing to be treated coldly and given the cold shoulder by Quest.
"Didn't you fall in love with a servant insect at the banquet? Give him to me and I won't get involved in the Sixth Prince's selection of a leader." Press said.
Quest frowned. When did he fall in love with a servant insect?
However, this thought only lasted for a moment, and Quest was attracted by Press's next words. What did it mean to not interfere in the Sixth Prince's selection of the leader?
In terms of Press's family background and looks, how can he compare to him?
Even if Press were to compete fairly, he would not be qualified to compete with him, let alone be better than him!
"As for the Sixth Prince's affairs, we each rely on our own abilities. I don't need you to give in." Quest said arrogantly.
Male insects are all proud. They will definitely get what they want and they don't need or bother to give it to other male insects.
Quest believed that he could win the Sixth Prince's true love with his own abilities and did not need to make deals with other male insects, but Press did not think so.
"What do you mean? Don't you want to give that servant insect to me?" Press was unhappy, and the voices that were originally discussing in a low voice became much louder.
Quest glanced to the side and found that many male insects looked over when they heard the sound, and the Sixth Prince had a slightly puzzled look. Quest's face immediately darkened.
What Quest didn't know was that with the Sixth Prince's abilities, their whispered discussions were no different from talking in his ear. The outsiders thought that the Sixth Prince was weak by nature, but that was only because of the disparity between his physique and mental strength. His B-grade body couldn't withstand the S-grade mental strength, but that didn't mean the Sixth Prince was weak.
Quest glared at Press fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever fall in love with a squire?"
Press was startled by Quest's vicious look, but his anger was rekindled when he heard his next words.
Press pointed in Lin Xi's direction: "Isn't that the servant insect you're interested in?"
Quest looked angrily in the direction that Press pointed. There was only a servant insect there. Quest glanced at it and couldn't help but sneer. Press was really getting worse and worse. He actually fell in love with such a thing!
"Is there something wrong with your eyes? Such a..." But when meeting Lin Xi's eyes, Quest's words suddenly stopped, just like a speaker that had been used for many years and inexplicably lost its sound.
Quest felt as if he was in love because he saw a pair of eyes that made the insect dream.
There was deep affection in those eyes, and just one glance made Chong particularly moved.
But in fact, Lin Xi was not looking at Quest, but Muas.
Muas was curious about what the two were talking about, so his eyes naturally turned over and saw Lin Xi.
The face was very unfamiliar, and Muas was sure that he had never seen this female insect before, but the height, eyes, and temperament, and the fact that they had lived together for several years, laughing and scolding each other, the female insect's memory was very strong. When their eyes met, Muas immediately recognized each other.
Across thousands of mountains and rivers, the two insects met again.
Those eyes were filled with deep affection, and the distant gaze seemed to span a thousand years. Not to mention the female insects, even the male insects that saw it paused for a moment.
Quest paused, his eyes fixed for a moment.
Press also noticed Quest's unusual behavior, rolled his eyes, and muttered, "Finally I remembered... How about you give the insect to me? Didn't you say before that female insects of low status can't enter your Griffin family? I don't mind his low status, I just like it this way..."
Quest looked a little impatient. He had felt more than once that the male insects were as noisy as ducks. He had always endured it in the past, but this time he just couldn't bear it anymore.
Quest was afraid that Pres’ words would scare away those beautiful eyes, so he scolded, “Don’t talk!”
Press, however, thought he'd been hit in a weak spot and immediately became indignant. "Quest, you're really the one who's eating your fill! There are so many female insects for you to choose from, why do you have to fight with me for this one?"
"Pres, why didn't I realize you were being so unreasonable before? I told you I don't know him!" Quest was a little annoyed.
Press was also furious: "You worm, don't you know what you did? How dare you deny it?"
"If you didn't know him, why were you so stunned when you saw the insect just now? It must be because you like it!"
"What on earth are you planning to do?" Quest felt a headache coming on, thinking that Press must have been foolish when he went out today. "Think carefully. Don't go against the Griffin family just for a swarm of insects."
Press's eyes widened, realizing that Quest had finally revealed his true colors. He angrily said, "Quest, who do you think you are? Even though the Eaton family can't compare to Griffin, if we really have to fight, we, the Eaton family, are not afraid!"
