Chapter 20 A Gamble
After You Zhuo left, the remaining three people watched for a while.
In addition to wings, slaves were also traded here.
From young children to young adults, all of them have outstanding looks.
These are all female insects with orchid blood.
An Lang couldn't bear it, but buying more would be too ostentatious.
The purpose of their trip was not only to see the situation of the Orchid Clan, but also to find out the Orchid Clan's attitude towards the Mantis Clan.
If the Ruolan tribe is very hostile to the Mantis tribe, then revealing one's identity would be a very dangerous thing.
Perhaps seeing that An Lang was losing interest and no longer raising his placard to bid, the supervisor actually came back and asked An Lang if there was anything else he liked.
The supervisor smiled and said, "Sagunto is a remote place. You have come all the way from the main city. Is there anything else you would like?"
Male insects, especially high-level male insects, are no less than fat sheep in the eyes of their supervisors, and they are the kind that are extremely rich.
"You don't have anything special here." An Lang crossed his legs and took a sip of tea. He frowned. Lan Xiu immediately stepped forward and held up the empty porcelain cup. An Lang spit into the cup. "I can buy this kind of stuff anywhere."
The supervisor looked at Lan Xiu and smiled even more deeply: "If Your Highness is here to look for 'new goods', then this is not the place for you."
An Lang didn't know what his supervisor meant by 'new goods', so he raised an eyebrow and said, "Not only 'new goods', but also 'good goods'."
"Of course!"
He led An Lang to the exclusive area.
It was a dark room.
An Lang looked at the interior decoration of the room and slowly sat down on the seat in the middle.
A row of female insects stood in front of An Lang one after another. They ranged from teenagers to young adults, with different appearances and physiques.
They knelt one by one with their legs apart, with only a thin piece of cloth covering their vital parts.
"Whichever one you choose, please check it carefully. There are absolutely no defective products among our products."
An Lang was puzzled. He didn't know what was the difference between these female insects and the slaves on the stage, and why they were called "new goods".
Seeing An Lang didn't move, the supervisor continued, "You already have a young one, why not try an adult female?"
He said this in an ambiguous tone, and then mentioned the name of a female insect.
The female insect had already grown up, with a tall body, long legs and a strong physique.
He took two steps forward on his knees, first giving An Lang a flattering smile, then turned around, revealing his bare back. He lowered his head very low, revealing the protruding vertebrae in his neck and allowing An Lang to clearly see the abnormal depression below the vertebrae.
He had seen this kind of depression in Lan Xiu before.
——That is a sign of glandular deficiency.
The supervisor presented An Lang with a whip and said, "Sir, you might as well give it a try. No matter how much punishment you use, the terrifying insect armor will not be exposed."
The female insect had already handcuffed herself to the wall with ease.
An Lang subconsciously tightened his grip on the whip.
The supervisor continued, "The new adult creatures won't revert to their ancestral form, whether through whipping, electric shocks, or drugs. However, they retain some of their awakening physical strength, which means they're stronger and more durable."
"The city lord is of the Lan clan. Trading these new goods in Sagunto won't cause me any trouble, right?"
"You're joking, sir. Our club has been open in Sagunto for decades," the director puffed out his chest proudly. "Besides, he's the criminal from Yongmen Village, so you don't have to worry."
"Then let's go with him." An Lang threw the whip to the ground. "I'm sleepy."
Lan Xiu said softly, "My Lord, you are traveling today, so it would be better for you to rest early."
He turned his head and glanced at the female insect shackled to the wall, acting jealous.
It was naturally Reilly who swiped the card.
In order to facilitate their movements, they did not stay in a hotel, but temporarily bought a detached house.
Just as You Zhuo had settled the winged female insect, he saw another one following An Lang. He immediately said angrily, "Your taste is truly unique."
Lei Li gave An Lang an ambiguous look and said, "My Lord, have a good rest. We are right next door."
Soon, An Lang and Lan Xiu were the only two people left in the room.
An Lang was tired after a long day. Acting was not an easy task for him, not to mention that he had to walk such a long way in the snow.
"Your Highness," Lan Xiu called softly, "Please open your mouth."
Lan Xiu knelt in front of him, and the two of them were very close.
In just a few months, Lan Xiu grew taller and his hair grew longer, giving him a certain androgynous beauty.
An Lang looked at him in confusion, but still let out a cry of "ah" obediently.
Lan Xiu used his finger to pick up a little bit of the dark ointment and applied it on his tongue.
My tongue suddenly felt cold, and the forgotten pain was gradually replaced by coolness.
"How do you know I burned my forehead?" [How do you know I burned my tongue?]
Because he couldn't swallow the ointment, Anlang's speech was unclear.
Lan Xiu lowered his head and concentrated on wiping his fingers with a white cloth.
"Your Highness frowned while drinking tea," he explained.
"It's nice to have a few outside the nest." [I thought I was pretending well.]
An Lang continued, recalling that the arrogant villains in TV dramas all did this.
"Your Highness normally wouldn't spit out tea." Lan Xiu said with a smile, "Your Highness is a very gentle creature."
"Lan Xiu! Leon and I! We're cooperating really well!" [Lan Xiu, you understand me! You're cooperating really well!]
An Lang nodded frantically, thinking that after being in the Zerg for so long, he finally had a Zerg that completely understood him!
Lan Xiu just smiled without saying anything, and put the white handkerchief into his pocket under An Lang's excited and happy gaze.
——
An Lang was woken up by the cold.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the remaining frost and snow on the branches.
He was stunned for a few seconds until the night wind blew, making him shiver quickly.
This is not a temporary residence they bought!
"Your Highness is awake?"
A familiar voice came from above. An Lang shuddered and quickly got up from the ground.
Then he saw the female insect's silver hair slanting down, like a shining Milky Way in the moonlight.
"It's you!"
An Lang didn't know the meaning of the white-haired female insect pulling him out.
Seeing that the white-haired female insect didn't say anything, An Lang asked, "Where is this? Why did you bring me out?"
The white-haired female insect jumped down from the branch and landed very lightly. A pair of extremely gorgeous white thin wings hung from its back, with the edges as delicate pink as cherry blossoms.
Seeing An Lang's eyes fall on his wings, the white-haired female insect's pink pupils smiled slightly, and said in a clear voice: "Your Highness, do you like my wings?"
"Uh, no." An Lang shook his head quickly, "It's just pretty."
"So do you want to dig it down?" he continued.
The voice was soft and shallow, like a lover's whisper, but it gave Anlang goosebumps.
“No, no!”
"Heh." The white-haired female insect laughed and changed the subject, "I heard that His Highness has been sending insects to look for me."
"Is there something wrong?"
He stared straight at An Lang, and in those pink eyes An Lang found his own shrunken shadow.
An Lang was stunned. He hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to start the conversation.
He has been searching for the villain boss who will kill him in the future, but he actually doesn't know what to do when he finds him.
An Lang had never considered striking first. First, he couldn't get over it in his heart, and second, there was a huge disparity in their power. After seeing the white-haired female insect hunting the star beast, An Lang knew that even a hundred of his own wouldn't be able to defeat him.
He could only consider appeasement and understand the reasons for the feud.
"What are you thinking, Your Highness?" The white-haired female insect lifted An Lang's chin, the two of them very close. His slender fingertips gently slid across An Lang's Adam's apple, bringing a metallic chill. "I don't want to hear your lies."
An Lang came back to his senses and swallowed involuntarily. The touch of his skin told him that what was pressing against his throat was a sharp insect armor.
His head could be cut off easily.
He made up his mind: "Because I dreamed that I would be killed by a white-haired female insect in three years."
"Oh?" A dark light flashed in her pink pupils, and the white-haired female insect stopped what she was doing. "Your Highness, why are you telling me?"
An Lang looked at him with despair: "Because I feel like you know... have you been reborn?"
The two looked at each other, and the air was so quiet that it was suffocating.
An Lang clenched his toes tightly.
He once thought about why the villain wanted to kill the original body.
In addition to the suppression of the Orchid Clan by successive Mantis Clan leaders, the original body had bullied the villains because of his lust.
Anlang prefers the former.
If it was because of his original body's lust, then when he traveled through time, the death caused by "lust" should not have existed.
Because there is absolutely no way he could force a female insect.
Then the world would not be at risk of destruction.
It is unlikely that his original self had bullied the villain before he traveled through time, because the Mantis Clan hates female insects with white hair and pink eyes very much and will never let the Orchid Clan appear in front of his original self.
Then all that remains is the hatred between the Orchid Clan and the Mantis Clan.
But this doesn't make sense. The Lan tribe has been bullied for more than a year or two, and the villains are strong enough to kill him easily.
But why didn't he do it?
This doesn't make sense.
Because the system prompted a time and space change, An Lang's "death date" was advanced from three years to three days.
We came to a conclusion: the villain had become enemies with An Lang and was determined to kill him.
But the villain not only didn't kill him, he even saved him from Xingzhi.
An Lang was puzzled and thought it was a false alarm - after all, this system that kept disconnecting from time to time did not seem very reliable.
Until today, the white-haired female insect pulled him out.
He suddenly realized that the villain's attention to him was extremely high - which meant that the villain's hatred existed.
His visit to Wengta Glacier was a secret, and his decision on where to stay was also made on the spur of the moment, but the villain was able to find him out without going through You Zhuo, Rayleigh, and even Lan Xiu who shared the room with him.
They specifically pulled him out and didn't kill or beat him, but just questioned him.
An Lang believes that the villain has hatred and malice towards him, but also exploration and curiosity.
Why is he curious? What is he exploring?
An Lang had a guess: because he behaved completely differently from his original self - when they first met, the villain must have wanted to kill him immediately, but An Lang was rescuing a female insect of the Orchid clan.
He originally thought that the time and space changes prompted by the system only meant that the time and place where the villain appeared were different from the original world.
But now, considering the villain's attitude, the change in time and space is more like rebirth!
The situation has already fallen into the hands of the villain, and An Lang decides to take a gamble!
