Chapter 361 How presumptuous of me!
"Alright everyone, let's move on to the next segment: we'll randomly select three lucky star bugs to answer questions!"
The etiquette officer placed the randomly rolling ball in front of Kano, saying, "Well then, Your Excellency Kano, the first question is yours to choose. Let's see what kind of blessings the StarNet users have?"
Upon hearing the word "blessing," Kano's mood improved considerably, and he raised his hand to tap the rolling ball.
Then a comment suddenly popped up above.
[User 27623876: Has Your Excellency considered taking female servants? After all, Prince Eli may be away on campaigns for most of the year...]
Kano's previously cheerful face instantly darkened. Without thinking, he grabbed Eli's arm and pointed at the comment, saying, "Ellie, look! Another nasty bug is trying to crawl into my bed!"
Eli looked at Kano with a mix of amusement and exasperation, and couldn't help but reach out and pat his head. "I know, I promise I'll chase any bad bugs that try to get close to you in the future, okay?"
Kano pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then solemnly declared to the floating camera, "From now on, I am a male insect with a female lord. I declare that from today onwards, I will also remain chaste like Lord Tan Chi!"
He gritted his teeth angrily, "You shouldn't even think about it!"
Amidst the laughter of the audience, the live chat was flooded with sarcastic and critical comments.
[My God! Why are all the good male insects being handed over to the royal family?! Aaaaaah!]
[Anonymous User: Wake up! Ordinary female insects don't even have a chance to see a male, let alone a good one!]
[This user has been banned: Is it possible that people are influenced by their surroundings? Are all the insects who hang out with Lord Tan Chi good males?]
...
Eli, suppressing a laugh, kissed the top of Cano's head. "Good boy, I'll answer the next question. Everyone, please stop teasing my little male."
Eli then tapped the rolling ball with his fingertip.
The second question immediately popped up.
[Guaxiachacha: I'd like to ask Prince Eli how he found such an adorable little male?! And specifically, which direction should he be facing?]
Eli couldn't help but smile when he saw the topic. "I have to thank my younger brother Tan Chi for this. He once mentioned the little male insect of the Reeves family. So when I wanted to get to know Lord Cano, I happened to encounter the Star Beast invasion incident a while ago, and that's how Lord Cano and I became acquainted."
Upon hearing this, Kano's eyes instantly lit up as he looked at Eli.
So Eli noticed him back then?
He thought they had met after the Star Beast attack.
[Cosmic Insect: ??? Fiction coming to life?]
[Under the melon patch tea: What a golden opportunity for a hero to save the damsel in distress!]
[User 98237487: Prince Eli: Thank you for the invitation, the future lord is delivering himself to your door...]
[djhfg: Lord Cano's gaze! Who can resist it?!]
[Chongchong: kswl! The pinnacle of insect-themed love stories!]
...
This sweet and sour atmosphere has made the entire internet buzz.
The screen was instantly flooded with comments like "@Lord Tan Chi! Please introduce me! Please assign me to a position!"
The floating camera expertly swooped towards the VIP seats, precisely capturing Tan Chi carefully feeding a grape to Letekar.
Tan Chi was clearly completely absorbed in the world of the two insects and did not notice that the floating camera was about to slam into him.
It wasn't until Leterkael coughed lightly and gestured to Tan Chi with his eyes that he came back to his senses and saw the camera that was almost right in their faces.
Tan Chi: "..."
How presumptuous of me!
This must be his older brother's wedding, right?
What's the purpose of the floating camera filming him?
He stared at the scrolling requests for help on the screen, paused for a moment, and then couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Introduce the male insect?"
The entire empire could barely find a few "normal" males.
He can't exactly say, "When looking for male insects, just pick those that look like they have serious diseases, can he?"
Tan Chi coughed lightly, carefully choosing his words before saying, "I'm sorry, my social circle is very small, and I don't know many male insects. When I have time, I will definitely expand my circle and help you choose properly."
He paused, looking at the still eagerly awaiting comments on the screen, and could only silently change the subject, "Today's protagonists are my older brother Eli and his lord Cano. Let's wish this new pair of insects all the best."
Fortunately, the etiquette officer was quite capable and quickly steered the conversation back on track.
After a complex series of procedures, the ceremony was finally drawing to a close.
Eli surveyed the room, then looked out into the distance before slowly speaking, "To thank everyone for witnessing and blessing us, His Excellency Cano and I have decided that all the natural plants used in today's banquet will be given to the guests present after the ceremony."
With a smile in his eyes, Kano added, "If there are any left over, the Royal Guard will randomly distribute them to passing insects along the main streets of the Imperial Capital!"
Suddenly, a rain of petals fell from the dome. Amidst the swirling petals, Cano tiptoed and kissed Eli, while the screen behind them was filled with the frantic barrage of comments from netizens.
[Ah!!! Your Highness and Your Excellency are so magnanimous!]
Wishing you a long and happy marriage!
[Sharing this joy! I wish I could have one like this in my lifetime!!!]
...
The noise of the engagement party was kept out by the heavy doors of the lounge, which remained quiet.
Michele sat on the couch, staring at the light brain screen on her wrist, her fingertips almost digging into her palm.
A sky made of stars, a long red carpet of petals, and a sea of ​​priceless roses stretching as far as the eye can see.
The ultimate luxury, the dazzling romance, every frame seemed to be burning his eyes.
All of this... all of this dazzling brilliance, should have been his!
In his previous life, all the good things in the empire should have belonged to him!
Even in his previous life, as the Insect Emperor, he had never lived such a luxurious life!
Now that he has been reborn, he is always a step too late!
What he could easily obtain in his previous life, he now has to painstakingly plan and scheme for a whole new life.
Resentment and jealousy seeped into his heart like poisonous vines, tightening their grip until he was almost suffocating.
"What are you looking at?"
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded from the side.
Michael saw Hader coming out of the bathroom in the lounge. He quickly composed himself, forced a smile, and said, "It's nothing. I just feel a little regretful that I didn't get to attend the Crown Prince's engagement banquet."
As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and the screen in his hand went out.
Michele turned her head and met Had's eyes, which held a hint of concern.
He didn't know when he came out of the bathroom, and naturally he didn't know if Had noticed when he had just shown his emotions...
