The taste of the king,,,
Sticky and wet, warm and cramped...
Wen Ling felt as if she was trapped in a cocoon, her body wrapped in a sticky feeling, but she did not feel any discomfort. It was even like she was back in her mother's womb, warm and safe.
Wen Ling blinked her eyes and could clearly realize that this was a dream, because she had dreamed of this scene too many times, but this time she wanted to try to break free from the cocoon and see what it looked like outside the cocoon.
The white fingertips touched the thin film, but could not find a crack. The slippery thin wall made the fingertips slip countless times. Wen Ling used her fingertips to scratch the membrane hard, and finally left a scratch.
The girl felt strangely satisfied at this moment. She wanted to break free from this cocoon! She wanted to get out! Once this thought appeared in her mind, she could hardly wait to take action.
This dream seemed to amplify her perception and desire, the feel of the liquid flowing through her fingers, and her obsession with the film.
However, as soon as she raised her arm, a feeling of powerlessness spread throughout her body, causing her to lose perception and control of this dream almost in the next second.
Next time...next time she will definitely stroke it a few more times...Wen Ling fell asleep in a daze.

On a desolate planet billions of light years away, a group of alien monsters covered with hard shells returned to their gathering place after completing their necessary hunting mission.
In the gathering place, there is a clear shallow lake with a beautiful high platform built in the middle. It is unbelievable that there is such an exquisite building on this deserted planet that seems to have not been developed by civilization.
A platform covered in soft fabric and gorgeous feathers held a massive egg securely in place. Although the eggshell was adorned with a pattern of tens of thousands of stars, its off-white color still betrayed a message: it was dead.
However, the alien monsters didn't care about this question. They only knew that this egg nurtured the supreme princess, the supreme god of their race. The king was merely sleeping, requiring immense energy. They would follow the instincts etched into their lives and offer him their best.
A dark red alien carefully smeared the golden liquid obtained from today's hunt onto the huge egg. This is the core liquid of the planet, which gathers the energy from the early days of the planet to the present.
In the hearts of these aliens, they firmly believed that the princess's fetus simply lacked energy and could not grow again. Therefore, they would continue to offer the princess star core liquid until His arrival.
What if they drain the energy of this planet and this giant egg still cannot wake up?
It doesn’t matter, they will embrace the Mother Goddess and die with this planet. They will be with the Mother Goddess forever.

As the sky gradually brightened, Wen Ling resigned herself to her fate and climbed out of her soft and warm bed, following the housekeeper to the meeting room.
Just as Wen Ling guessed, she was placed in the most marginal position. She was a marginal person in the family and had almost no say.
Ever since the great catastrophe in the solar system three years ago, human economy and culture have begun to regress. Even with the help of the Interstellar Alliance, the Earth has only recently recovered. However, her family is now on the verge of collapse, and today is the day to hold a liquidation meeting to distribute the remaining assets to the younger generation of the family.
Or it means streamlining some unnecessary personnel, such as yourself.
Entering the meeting room, people who usually looked down on Wen Ling also took a second look at her today.
"laugh--"
Someone looked at Wen Ling and chuckled secretly, "Since when did outsiders get to enter the family council?"
The person who spoke was Wen Ling's cousin. He usually ignored her, but today he was the first to attack Wen Ling because Wen Ling was not a legitimate child of the Wen family, but today she could also get a share of the pie.
This is also a mess. Wen Ling sighed. The father of this body is indeed a member of the Wen family, but the mother was just his lover before he got married. Perhaps because her father doted on his lover, he insisted on bringing Wen Ling back home.
"Since you said I'm not from the Wen family, why was I allowed in?" Wen Ling replied softly, "I call you cousin, so isn't that also from the Wen family?"
The person opposite looked at the beautiful face that didn't look like a member of the Wen family, and said to her with a mixture of unclear emotions and disdain: "I don't have a cousin like you. Who knows where you came from..."
"alright!"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a stern female voice. Wen Ling looked over. It was her sister, a legitimate child of the Wen family, her father's second daughter, Wen Chiyu.
She spoke only to save face for her family, but Wen Ling still nodded gratefully at her, then sat quietly aside, like a wooden man, until her name was called.
"Wen Ling, assign a planet and number it..."
Not only did she look at the butler in the front row, but everyone in the conference room looked up in surprise.
"She's a bastard, how could she be assigned a planet?"
The first one to bear the brunt of the attack was the cousin who had just shouted that she was not worthy. When he saw that Wen Ling no longer looked at him, he suddenly felt unhappy and shouted even louder, not knowing whose attention he was trying to attract.
"How can an ordinary person like her, whose physical and mental strength are not even C, hold power?"
"Haha, a parasite that has made no contribution to the family. The family's downfall is probably due to people like this."
Wen Ling remained quiet, seemingly unwilling to fight or compete, but she was sneering in her heart, wondering, are the Wen family so generous?
Sure enough, the butler continued what he had just been interrupted.
"Planet number C0124, with 1% of the family's mineral resource income."
When everyone heard the number starting with c, their straightened bodies relaxed again and they continued to lean comfortably in their chairs, listening to the allocation of resources.
Class C planets can be considered barren planets. Although they can allow humans to survive, it is just survival. There are almost no good resources.
"Being assigned a planet with such a low number, I'm afraid this isn't exile."
"Given her status, even one planet is considered a good deal. Does she want more? Does she deserve it?"
"Aren't we going to return the mining planet's resources to her?"
"Tsk, that's a resource? I'll just send her away..."
Wen Ling ignored the laughter behind her and walked out of the meeting room. She didn't think it was charity at all. Come on, it was a planet! Her own planet! She would soon become the planet master!
Do you know how much a reclaimed planet would appeal to a farmer from the 21st century? If you don't, you'll just laugh at me. Oh, you foolish interstellar person.
"Wen Ling."
Wen Chiyu stopped her, raised his chin, and said arrogantly, "You know, after taking these things, you should leave the capital planet."
"You don't have to complain about the small amount of things. You don't have much status in the master's family. You..."
"I know."
The girl looked up at him with sparkling eyes, as if a little embarrassed, and unconsciously pursed her lower lip.
"I'm leaving tomorrow."
Wen Chiyu looked at her sister who was a little shorter than her and frowned.
"What's the rush?" He thought of something and looked at Wen Ling coldly and said, "Did they force you to leave?"
"Don't you know how to resist? If you beg me, maybe..."
Wen Ling looked up at her sister in some confusion. Wasn't she usually quite cold towards her? Why was she suddenly so easy to talk to today?
"I want to leave on my own. It's okay. I know I'm a burden to you."
This was the second time she interrupted him. Wen Chiyu didn't even feel angry, but every word Wen Ling said still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Her pitiful sister tilted her head and looked at her. Perhaps she had no idea what kind of humiliation she had just suffered. She was short-sighted and satisfied with taking some mining star resources. Such stupidity did not seem like a member of the Wen family at all.
"Humph, it's good enough if you know you're a burden..."
Wen Ling was waiting for the young lady to let her go so she could go back and lie down for a while, so she could only nod and agree. Wen Chiyu looked at her sister who looked at him pitifully and nodded, and the dissatisfaction in her heart became more obvious.
"You're so stupid! Your family has given up on you, yet you're still willing to go to a desolate planet!"
"Forget it, just go. Even if it's for a while, I'll ask the master to transfer my share of the mineral resources to you."
"Don't think I'm kind, I'm just feeling sorry for you..."
Wen Ling's eyes lit up when she heard the word "transfer and increase". It turned out that this young lady was her sister, her real sister!
Those are the mineral resources of the planet. They can be given away at any time. Even Wen Ling, who doesn't know much about this interstellar currency system, knows that 1% of the income from mineral resources can allow an ordinary middle-class family to enjoy a lifetime, not to mention that Wen Chiyu will definitely get more than 1%.
Wen Ling was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. She had misunderstood Wen Chiyu all along. It turned out that she was a little angel with a cold exterior but a warm heart.
I couldn't help but hug her and patted her on the back. Good sister! You are the best sister in my life!
Wen Chiyu was hugged by her petite sister and froze for a moment. This intimate action had already exceeded the social distance between them before, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
But she still didn't push Wen Ling away. She patted her back gently and swallowed the harsh words in her mouth.
"Humph, it's good that you know you can't leave home. Just think of it as going out for fun. I'll send someone to pick you up when the situation stabilizes."
Huh? Wen Ling was just wiping her tears of joy onto Wen Chiyu when she heard the tragic news. She froze, blinking once, tears streaming down her face.
Like a pitiful little rabbit, with red and moist eyes, and two tear marks on her fair face, she looked so tearful that she almost wanted to bully her again.
Wen Chiyu's expression softened almost immediately when he saw her like this. He wiped her tears almost gently and said, "I'll miss you too. Don't cry."
Tears soaked the silk handkerchief. Wen Chiyu sighed and said, "Let's go next week. I'll arrange everything for you."
Wen Ling didn't react until she was gently escorted back to her room. Wasn't she supposed to be able to escape next week? And even come back? She was going to return to this shabby place? Wen Chiyu was going to take her back?!
It turns out that so much money is not taken for free!

At night, an unknown fog spread around the manor.
Along with the fog came pairs of red compound eyes, particularly creepy in the darkness. Their sickle-shaped forelimbs bent and crawling, they looked like steel monsters in the night.
The violent eyes seemed to have no mind, just chaos, and saliva kept flowing from their mouthparts. This group of low-level Zerg had been modified by humans and had long lost their own thoughts, becoming weapons in the hands of their holders.
In the Wen family manor, Wen Ling was sleeping soundly, but a noisy sound continued to linger in her mind.
“Hiss…it hurts…it hurts so much…hiss”
The painful sensations continued to stimulate Wen Ling's nerves, making her empathize with the pain of those creatures.
"Hmm..."
The girl slept uneasily because of the noise. The quilt was kicked away, revealing her fair calves and arms. Her snow-white face was wrinkled and flushed.
“Huh—huh—”
The insects exhaled clouds of white steam and rubbed the ground with their claws restlessly. This was a signal that they were about to attack. As the holder sent out the signal, the insects rushed towards the Wen family manor.
The next second, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, her silver pupils reflecting a myriad of brilliance. Invisible spiritual tentacles swam towards the group of low-level Zerg, gently wrapping around their bodies as if to comfort them, and the round tentacles even touched their heads.
"king..."
“Huff—Huff—”
"King... the taste of King..."
