Chapter 91 Visiting the Preparation Room and Developing a 'Special Training' Plan! (Part 1) ^^……
After eating the cake, Gaman heard footsteps approaching in the distance. As the familiar aroma drew closer, his face-wiping became more hurried, leaving several red marks on his fair cheeks with roughness.
However, he didn't care at all, focusing solely on wiping away the remaining cream. If Yad were here, he would probably be extremely pleased, after all, the cleaning procedure he had carefully taught countless times was being implemented by the person in question for the first time, and with great care.
Silvery-white spiritual energy overflowed uncontrollably from Garman's body, spontaneously moving forward, and then forward again, finally passing through the corridor and surrounding the black-haired woman A, dancing joyfully.
“This is…” Pei Qing looked up. Above the dome, silvery-white spiritual energy danced like ribbons, dreamlike and illusory. She unconsciously reached out her fingertips to gently touch it.
The silvery-white ribbon seemed to sense the warmth of her fingertips, wrapping around her entire arm in circles. The cool touch reminded Pei Qing of the cheek of a certain insect, also cool, soft, and incredibly delicate.
“It seems that Garman really likes you. Your spiritual energy is highly compatible with his. His spiritual energy can even flow out to find you spontaneously, without the slightest rejection.” Looking at such a harmonious scene, Yad’s eyes flashed with relief, but a few sour feelings quietly rose in his heart, for reasons he didn’t know.
"Mental energy can actually be touched directly... How amazing..." Pei Qing murmured to herself, gently kneading the silvery-white silk. She didn't know that the higher the compatibility, the more sensitive the other person's mental energy would be, almost equivalent to half of their body. Therefore, every time she touched them, the other person could clearly perceive it and react strongly.
"Ugh!" Garman clenched his teeth, but still couldn't help but let out a soft moan. He supported himself with trembling hands and slowly slid to the ground, his thighs intertwined. This feeling was too unfamiliar, and he still couldn't get used to it.
They are similar to, yet different from, the unbearable pain of worm transformation. They roam freely through all the meridians in the body, washing over it again and again, painful yet pleasurable, making people fall into a state of fascination and obsession.
Pei Qing contentedly released the silver divine power that had been crushed into a ball. The moment she released it, her spiritual energy slipped away from her fingertips like lightning, without lingering for even a moment. Yad witnessed all of this but remained silent.
The two stood at the door of the familiar room. There was no one there, except for a small, suspicious stain that was quietly hidden in the corner and went unnoticed.
“It’s getting late, let me take you to your room to rest,” Yad’s smile remained, but his beautiful eyes dared not look directly at the female insect in front of him. He shifted his gaze slightly to the left, fixing his focus on the door behind the female insect, and continued, “Wait… tomorrow I will send one of my men to take you and the commander to the preparation room for a tour, and to learn how to use it from the materials—”
"Isn't Vice Commander Yad coming along? After all, I'm really unfamiliar with this place, and I'll feel more at ease if I have familiar faces with me." Pei Qing stretched out her left leg and bent her right leg slightly, leaning back against the door. She looked down at the slightly shorter, brown-haired male insect with a playful expression on her lips.
“I…I have some things to take care of tomorrow, so it might be inconvenient for me to accompany you…” Noticing the intense gaze from the other side, Yad lowered his head further and lowered his voice. Perhaps fearing that Pei Qing would make things difficult again, he quickly added, “It’s really an urgent matter, so please understand.”
"Really?" Pei Qing's gaze lingered on the male insect's rapidly reddening ear tips for a few moments, then she didn't say anything more. She stretched and yawned, "Phew, I'm really tired. Where's the room for resting? I'm so sleepy."
Seeing that Pei Qing didn't say anything more, Yad secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then a faint sense of disappointment rose in his heart. He was startled and quickly suppressed this strange emotion. He quickly adjusted his expression and smiled, "It's over here. I'll take you there."
“Let’s go.” Pei Qing turned around, crossed her hands behind her head, and followed Yad into another corridor.
We've had enough fun for today, so we can't go too far. We need to take it slow, like slowly boiling a frog in water, so that he realizes the problem lies with himself.
Yad arranged Pei Qing's room next to Garman's bedroom. Of course, his bedroom was also next door, but he usually worked in the control room and didn't come back to rest much. Sometimes when he was tired, he would lie down on the recliner in the control room for a while.
Pei Qing stopped and observed her surroundings. Not far from the room was a long glass corridor, with dozens of meters of transparent high-quality glass portholes showcasing the beauty and vastness of the starry sea to the fullest. Especially now that all the lights on the ship were off, sitting on a lounge chair in the glass corridor, bathed in the gentle, tender light of the deep blue stars, was enough to soothe all fatigue.
“Oh, right,” Yad suddenly spoke, startling Pei Qing from her reverie of the beautiful scenery. Pei Qing turned around, starlight streaming through the porthole onto her face, casting a deep blue glow. She raised her eyes, puzzled, and asked, “You haven’t left yet? Is there anything else, Vice Commander?”
The brown-haired male insect pursed his lips, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face. "I'm sorry, I forgot to give you this badge earlier." He handed over a box, which, when opened, revealed a silver-white necklace with a diamond-shaped badge hanging from the center.
"What is this?" Pei Qing didn't reach out, expressing her question with her eyes.
Yad licked his dry lips and explained, "To prevent the security system from attacking automatically, every member of 'Hurricane' needs to wear this badge at all times so that they won't be identified as intruders by the system."
“Oh, I see,” Pei Qing said, taking the necklace with barely concealed disdain. “How do you wear this?” She fiddled with the badge, which had a small storm pattern on it, with a lined spider in the center and what appeared to be several insect wings swirling around it.
“Let me help you,” Yad said, his hands moving faster than his mouth. Before he could finish speaking, his hand had already picked up the collar. By the time he realized what he was doing, it was too late to back down. His arm froze in mid-air, at a loss for what to do.
Pei Qing glanced at him with amusement, then lowered her head slightly, keeping herself within Yad's reach.
Yad's eyelashes fluttered, his hands were a little unsteady, and his fingertips trembled as he pressed open the clasp. With a "click," the clasp closed, and the moment it was put on, the choker automatically contracted, fitting perfectly against Pei Qing's neck, without a single gap.
"Does the chip inside only have security system protection functions? Does it also have tracking functions?" Pei Qing asked casually, tugging at the neck ring, which remained motionless, as if it were one with her skin.
"No—uh!" Yad panicked, and before he could explain, a warm finger covered his lips, the fingertip gently tracing his skin, silencing all the words he wanted to say. He wanted to say that it wasn't like that, but another voice told him that it was, that this was indeed the original function of the badge...
"Shh, I know." Pei Qing's lips curled up slightly, her tongue gliding across her palate as she began to dismiss him. "It's getting late, Vice Commander Yad, please go back. I need to rest. See you tomorrow." With that, she didn't even glance at him before slamming the door shut, shutting everything out.
"!"
Yad bit his lip, raised his hand several times and then lowered it again, finally letting out only a weak murmur.
"See you tomorrow……"
Back in her room, Pei Qing stood in front of the bathroom mirror and carefully examined the so-called protective device. There was no doubt that it contained a positioning chip. In addition, it looked somewhat similar to the suppressor that inhibited the transformation of male insects. Could it also have a similar effect?
She suddenly remembered the silvery-white 'ribbon' that had spontaneously wrapped around her arm. If the spiritual power of the insectoids and humans was fundamentally different and incompatible, why could her spiritual power attract male insectoids? Was there some other connection between her race and the insectoids...?
Pei Qian tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. In the next room, there were more than just one insect who hadn't slept all night.
...
"Phew! I'm so sleepy," Pei Qing said listlessly as she walked out of her room. She shouldn't have let her mind wander at night; she was finally about to fall asleep when she smelled a strange floral scent. It was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she had smelled it before. That wasn't important, though. What was important was that the damned floral scent had made the gray-black particles in her mind restless again. She had barely managed to calm them down when, before she had even been lying down for ten minutes, there was a knock on the door.
What an incredibly difficult night! Pei Qing almost laughed out of her own frustration. And that damned Yad, didn't he say he wasn't going yesterday? Turns out he was the one knocking on the door most eagerly this morning! Seriously!
Why the rush?! Wanting the horse to run but not wanting it to eat grass? There's no such thing as a free lunch! Even a donkey pulling a millstone needs a rest before work, right? Are these damned Hurricane Pirates in such a hurry to kill their leader?!
Pei Qing held her head, her face sour the whole way, not saying a word. Ya De carefully observed her from the side, wondering what had happened overnight to make Pei Qing so upset so early in the morning.
When they arrived at the so-called breeding preparation room, Pei Qing's expression wasn't so bad anymore. After all, she was also curious about what the inside of this breeding preparation room, which was exclusively for male insects, looked like.
"Huh? Bai... no, where's Gaman?" Pei Qing almost blurted out the words "white-haired pervert," but thankfully stopped herself in time. But where's he? Where did the protagonist disappear at this crucial moment?
“Gaman, he’s already waiting for you inside.” Upon hearing this, Yad’s expression became somewhat unnatural, and his reply was a beat slower.
Hmm? Pei Qing raised an eyebrow. It couldn't be anything strange... She wouldn't see it as soon as she went in... It shouldn't be like that, right? Although the Zerg are open, it shouldn't be too... right?
Pei Qing became even more curious, her dark eyes gleaming with barely concealed excitement. Just as she was about to push open the door, she suddenly remembered something. The black-haired woman A's eyes darted around, and she smiled maliciously, grabbing the brown-haired male insect behind her who was trying to sneak away.
Yad had intended to slip away, but his arm was firmly grabbed, the burning palm making him shudder, and the immense force preventing him from moving an inch. His plan to sneak away was ruined, but what surged in his heart first was not helplessness or shame, but a strange, secret joy that he couldn't quite pinpoint.
"Where is the deputy commander going?" Pei Qing pulled the thin, brown-haired male insect to his front with a forceful movement, and the insect was almost completely enveloped in his broad body.
She lowered her head slightly, her warm breath spraying precisely onto the male insect's vulnerable ear, causing the body in her arms to instantly stiffen and curl up.
"There's no rush, don't worry, I'll be quick."
Pei Qing half-forcefully wrapped her arms around Yad, turned around, and pushed open the door. The moment she saw the scene before her, she was frozen in place, her expression extremely complicated.
Tsk, I definitely underestimated the Zerg's ferocity.
