Chapter 214 He's so disgusted!
When Tan Chi inquired about the situation with Eli, he learned about the relationship between the Insect King and Bass, and naturally also knew about the Insect King's dependence on Bass.
He was naturally a little worried about the Insect King's condition.
During the time Tan Chi transmigrated, the Insect Emperor and Eli's doting affection for him was almost palpable.
He didn't need to put the insect king in danger because of a male insect that suddenly appeared.
If Bass dares to do anything to upset the Insect King, he will use his mental power to smash his head and make him obediently stay by the Insect King's side as a mentally challenged insect!
Bass felt a slight chill on the back of his neck. He frowned unhappily, then glanced at Tan Chi. "I'll let you off the hook since you're not bad looking, but don't let it happen again."
After saying this, he resumed eating the various foods on the table.
Tan Chi's lips twitched involuntarily. Wasn't he clearly indebted to someone who had eaten his food?
His appearance is top-tier, whether you consider him a female or male insect.
His wife doesn't mind, so why would he?
Tan Chi looked at Bass, who was enjoying his meal, and could only give Letekar a look before taking the quantum computer upstairs again.
"Brother, is it possible that this worm is a clone?"
Tan Chi thought that with the advanced technology in interstellar space, cloning technology shouldn't be a problem, right?
Eli shook his head almost immediately, "The Zerg's genetic sequence cannot be cloned due to many thorny issues, especially the male Zerg, which cannot survive in the embryonic stage. And the cloned female Zerg embryos will also die before hatching."
In other words, there is no way to clone any of the worms.
If cloning is truly possible, then the Zerg will never lack male Zerg, and the status of female Zerg will not remain so low.
Tan Chi frowned. "So, that male insect that looks a bit dim-witted might really be our male father?"
Eli chuckled softly as he listened to Tan Chi's disdainful words. "It's not 'maybe,' it's him."
As he thought about Tan Chi's comment that Bass seemed to be mentally unstable, the corners of his mouth turned up even wider.
Indeed, male insects are more likely to inherit genes from male insects.
His younger brother usually seems too naive and easily fooled, much like their father.
However, he can't laugh now; if he does, his younger brother will probably get angry.
Tan Chi opened his mouth, but finally slowly spoke, "Then... don't tell the female father for now. Even if we go back now, we will be targeted by the Second Legion and the Lanetta family's insects. So we will most likely have to follow the original plan and take a long detour back."
He had previously thought that if Bass's insect quality was not good, he would just take care of him.
But as it stands, he's barely passable, just getting by.
But if the Insect King finds out about Bass, he might just send them back or come to see Bass directly.
Neither of them is good news.
This is the perfect opportunity for them to take down the Lanetta family and the Second Legion; they absolutely cannot let them discover it beforehand.
Otherwise, wouldn't all the effort they put into preparing the program be wasted?
Eli understood Tan Chi's meaning. Telling the Insect King now would only add a few more days of suffering for the Insect King.
If something goes wrong and they fail to bring Bass back, wouldn't the Insect King be left disappointed?
Although the possibility was low, he decided to proceed cautiously just in case.
"Then let's stick to the original plan. I'll leave Father Xiong in your care with Letekar for the next few days. You can contact me directly if you have any questions, understand?"
Eli, still a little worried, gave a few more instructions, and Tan Chi finally nodded.
...
Looking at the disconnected personal terminal, Eli couldn't help but sigh.
He truly never expected that his father, who had been missing for so many years, would one day return safely.
He was actually a little worried at first that Bass might be a trap set by other insects for the insect king.
However, after the male father and female father registered their marriage, they did not release the male father's photo to the public in order to protect his safety.
Those who know what the male father looks like are mostly insects within the empire.
After the father disappeared, they searched for him privately for a while, and later offered a bounty across the entire galaxy.
Even when offering a bounty, it was only in the capacity of a noble male insect that a reward was offered to the external Star Insects.
They feared that if some insects knew he was the supreme ruler of the Imperial Insect King, it would be detrimental to him.
But who could have imagined that after so many years, there would still be no news?
Because most bounties between different planets are sent to mechanical insects, making it convenient for their owners to browse them.
So, as the mechanical insects were replaced generation after generation, this bounty notice, because it was for missing insects, was treated as junk information by the mechanical insects a few years ago.
If it weren't for the fact that 001 was among the first mechanical insects created by the royal family and contained Bass's biological serial number, his father would probably never have been found again.
"Your Highness Eli, is something on your mind?"
A familiar voice came from inside, and Eli realized that Cano had come to the study.
He glanced at Kano, chuckled, and shook his head. "It's nothing. I just heard that Achi and the others encountered some trouble while traveling on other planets, so I was a little worried."
Eli looked at Kano, noticing his unusual expression, before asking, "Lord Kano, is there something you need from the palace today?"
Kano took a few steps forward, but when he was still some distance from Eli, he stopped awkwardly.
He hadn't seen Eli for several days.
Previously, he could go to Tan Chi's place to chat with Tan Chi, or go to chat with Tan Chi's family member 001, but now they have gone to another planet for their honeymoon.
Eli was so busy that he didn't know what to do for a moment.
He used to go to the library whenever he had free time, but now when he gets there, all he can think about is Eli, and he can't concentrate on reading at all.
He decided to go directly to the palace to see if he could see Eli.
Unexpectedly, my arrival was quite timely; I happened to see him in the study.
But when Eli asked him what he was doing there, Cano didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"I... I didn't come because I missed you, I just feel like we're already..."
Kano paused abruptly after saying this.
It seems he's not engaged to Eli yet. Although the outside world knows that Eli is seeing him frequently, he doesn't have a formal title yet.
Cano then recalled that Timothy had also frequented the palace, but Eli disliked him because he took the wrong step when entering the palace.
What should he do then?
If he takes the initiative to ask for a formal title, wouldn't that seem a bit aggressive? What if Eli doesn't like him anymore?
