Chapter 26 Beautiful
Rayleigh acted very quickly and came back to report in a short while.
An Lang leaned back in the soft chair, leaning sideways. "That's a huge difference."
Reed hurriedly explained that he had spent a huge amount of money over the years to build light walls and nurseries.
"It's a huge expense? So huge that you only get one twentieth of it? Are you doing charity?" An Lang mocked, "I don't think you want to give this money."
"By the way, you confessed so many crimes, but there is one thing you didn't mention."
An Lang pointed at his nose and said, "You sent bugs to murder me. If I weren't so lucky, I would have been thrown into the dungeon by you!"
"Just for this one thing, I can kill you directly." An Lang turned his head and saw the well-behaved female insect standing behind him, staring at him motionlessly. He smiled and said, "Lan Xiu, he is your enemy insect, right? I'm giving you a chance now. Kill him directly."
The red-eyed female insect nodded obediently, pulled out a dagger and approached Reed who was kneeling on the ground.
"Either give me all the money, or I will kill you today."
The dagger in Lan Xiu's hand had already cut into Reed's skin. Reed screamed in horror: "Your Highness, Your Highness! The money is not with me!"
An Lang smiled. He didn't call for a stop, and Lan Xiu's hand didn't stop. Blood soaked Reed's collar. He became more and more panicked: "It's with the vice president!"
"That's bullshit!" Cleveland's face darkened. "You're really going to kill yourself by trying to pick on a male insect!"
Reed's heart was made up. He rolled and crawled towards An Lang: "Your Highness, save me! I gave all the money to the vice president! He was the one who helped me! Otherwise, how could I get a noble male insect! He also gave me the male insect. It was a D-level male insect. I will tell you everything, Your Highness must save me--"
His voice cut off as a scepter pierced his back.
Reed lowered his head, and with a "puff" sound, blood gushed out.
"Protect His Highness!"
Rayleigh shouted, but Lan Xiu was faster than him. He quickly grabbed An Lang and raised his right hand to block.
With a click, the blood-stained scepter hit the arm covered with black armor.
"Anlang Cofelin, you forced me to do this," Cleveland said with a sinister grin. The female insects following him all reverted to their ancestral form. "Kill him!"
In the chaos, someone shattered the lights in the palace, and the hall was instantly plunged into darkness.
Most female insects have night vision, but the strong difference in light and dark still makes them dazzled for a moment.
An Lang was completely invisible.
He felt his arm loosen as Lan Xiu pushed him away. Then, he was pulled into a familiar embrace.
The silver-white hair that caught my eye reflected light even in the darkness.
"Your Highness, why do you need my rescue every time?" The white-haired female insect lowered her voice and said jokingly.
Before An Lang could refute, he saw a silver-white thread drawn from his fingertips.
These silk threads were so dazzling in the darkness that they instantly cut a female insect that pounced on them in half.
"Externalization of spiritual power!"
A female insect shouted.
The white-haired female insect remained unmoved. He held An Lang in one hand and leisurely stroked the air with the other hand. In an instant, more and more female insects fell down.
He was like the Grim Reaper swinging his scythe gracefully.
"I'd better take His Highness away from here." The white-haired female insect tilted her head and said affectionately, "It's too bloody. His Highness will be scared and cry in bed again."
As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe and a pair of gorgeous wings spread out from his shoulders, shining brightly, like gold and powder.
He held An Lang in his arms and flew into the air, and the City Lord's Mansion soon disappeared from sight.
When Anlang came to his senses, they were under the tree again.
There was still snow on the branches. As the white-haired female insect flapped its wings, snowflakes fell down. A flake landed on An Lang's face, making him shiver.
"you……"
"Me?" The white-haired female insect smiled and moved closer.
"You're really everywhere." An Lang exclaimed, "Were you lying on the roof listening just now?"
The white-haired female insect laughed out loud.
"I will be wherever Your Highness thinks I am."
"As expected of a villain!" An Lang gave a thumbs-up. "With such professionalism, I think it's too much that you didn't kill the original owner in your previous life."
The white-haired female insect laughed even louder.
"I saved His Highness again. How will His Highness repay me?"
An Lang touched his nose and muttered, "I saved you two days ago..."
The white-haired female insect shook her head and said, "If I hadn't killed all the guards in the village, Your Highness would have been captured the moment he set foot there, and your innocence would have been lost."
An Lang's face suddenly turned red, as if he remembered something.
"Okay, okay, then what do you want?"
"Then let me hear your Highness's reasoning."
"What?"
"How did Your Highness discover that there was something wrong with Cleveland?"
An Lang touched his nose and said, "He's not young anymore, and he's the vice president. He actually did this so quickly, even faster than the judges. I think there's something fishy going on."
"And he's a very particular bug. I don't know if you noticed the high chair he sits on. The cushions inside are much more exquisite than the one I sit on."
"How could such a bug move so quickly? I think he probably received the news in advance."
"Furthermore, that male insect that was secretly raised was born sixty years ago. I don't believe that Reed dared to do this without any protection for all these years."
"The most important thing is that account book! How old was the original owner? The transaction that happened a year ago is actually written at the top. It's like they're afraid they can't find a way to accuse me!"
The white-haired female insect smiled softly: "Your Highness is indeed wise and powerful, and your intelligence surpasses that of insects."
"No, no, hehe." An Lang was a little lost when he was praised. He looked at the pink crystal eyes of the female insect in front of him, as if he was drunk in spring water.
But the villain's face looks more and more familiar the more I look at it.
An Lang hissed softly. He looked at her carefully for a moment and then said hesitantly, "Big Villain, I think you look a bit like Lan Xiu."
"Really?" the white-haired female insect asked casually.
An Lang nodded. "Besides your hair and eye color, your eyes are very similar. And your noses too."
"Your Highness..."
The white-haired female insect was about to speak when An Lang continued, "But it's very likely that you both share a common male father. You've been using the same male insect's sperm for the past sixty years, so it's only natural that you look alike."
The white-haired female insect was silent for a moment.
An Lang looked at him again: "What did you want to say just now?"
The white-haired female insect replied, "I was thinking, Your Highness is truly wise and powerful, and his intelligence surpasses that of insects."
An Lang felt that something was a little strange, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't find any problem.
"Oh, no more talking. Take me back quickly, or the other bugs will be worried to death."
"With so many female insects, who are you most worried about, Your Highness?"
"Uh, of course it's Lan Xiu! He just got hit on the arm trying to save me!" An Lang was a little anxious. "You don't know, that's the only place he can revert to, and it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't."
"It worries me!"
The white-haired female insect ignored him.
An Lang keenly sensed that the atmosphere was not right. He hesitated for a moment: "You...why do I feel that you are not very happy?"
"Oh? Really?" The white-haired female insect said in a faint voice.
"I also protected His Highness, so why doesn't His Highness care about me?"
"What?" An Lang was startled. He quickly grabbed the female insect's hand and asked with concern, "Were you injured just now?"
The white-haired female insect narrowed her eyes and said, "Those bastards, are they worthy?"
“…”
In the end, An Lang was thrown to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion by the white-haired female insect who was angry for some unknown reason. Before An Lang could say goodbye, the white-haired female insect spread its wings and disappeared into the night in an instant.
"Strange..." An Lang touched his nose, "Why are you angry?"
Rayleigh finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Anlang.
"Your Highness!"
"Hey! Here!"
"How's Lan Xiu?"
"He..." Rayleigh thought about it carefully and realized that he did not see Lan Xiu in the hall just now.
"Your Highness!" Lan Xiu ran over from a distance, "I've been looking for Your Highness!"
"I'm so glad Your Highness is okay!"
One of his hands hung at his side, obviously injured.
"Your hand!" An Lang hurriedly passed Rayleigh and ran towards Lan Xiu, "Go and take a look!"
"Your Highness, I'm fine!" Lan Xiu smiled, his red eyes full of seriousness, "As long as you're not hurt!"
He looks like a puppy who is wholeheartedly protecting his master.
Obviously I am still so weak.
Seeing his look, An Lang's heart softened, and he wanted to hug Lan Xiu tightly in his arms and hug him tightly.
"Don't do that next time," An Lang warned. "If your hand hadn't reverted to its ancestral form in time, it would be broken by now, didn't you know that?"
"But I'm more afraid that Your Highness will get hurt." The red-eyed female insect blinked, her eyes wet. As she spoke, she leaned towards An Lang and carefully rubbed An Lang's shoulder with her cheek.
An Lang was overwhelmed by the cuteness.
After a moment, the red-eyed female insect asked cautiously, "Your Highness, who just took you away?"
"Uh..." An Lang paused briefly. Unfortunately, he couldn't see the petite female insect's eyes darkening. "A friend."
"Come to think of it, he should be your brother! Don't you think you two look alike?"
"Really?" The red-eyed female insect laughed, "I didn't see it clearly."
"Do you think he is handsome, Your Highness?"
"Huh?" An Lang was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he raised his hand and touched the back of his head. "Beautiful."
His voice was a little tense, and his heartbeat was inexplicably accelerated: "It is beautiful."
"Oh..." The red-eyed female insect's eyes curved. "Then I can understand that when I grow up, Your Highness will also think I'm beautiful?"
"Haha." An Lang laughed dryly. "Of course you'll be beautiful when you grow up. You have such beautiful eyes."
The red-eyed female insect raised her hand and touched her eyes.
He murmured in an ambiguous voice, "Then who do you think is prettier, Your Highness?"
"What?"
An Lang was a little distracted just now and didn't hear Lan Xiu's question.
It was Rayleigh who was following behind him who heard it.
Thinking of the white-haired female insect, his heart sank.
It's the Orchid tribe again...
