Chapter 74



"Hiss hiss hiss—"

Lin Xi let out a scream.

However, it was not human language but a high-pitched, rapid hiss.

"Number One" suddenly shrank back according to its instincts developed over the past few days, and then its body froze.

A familiar pain instantly struck. It looked down at Lin Xi, whose mouthparts had pierced its breastplate, from which thick, warm mucus gushed out.

"Hiss... Oh my god..."

As the familiar blood rushed into her mouth, Lin Xi suddenly jolted and then came to her senses.

He simply couldn't believe what he had done.

He only instinctively tried to struggle, but he just...

They made a bloody hole directly in "Number One's" body.

Lin Xi suddenly covered her mouth.

The completely unfamiliar mouthparts and straw quickly retracted into his body the moment he came to his senses, but it took Lin Xi a long time to realize what was going on.

Lin Xi felt like he was going crazy. Because of what "Number One" had done before, and because of the harm he had caused to "Number One"... what brought him to the brink of mental collapse even more was the mouthparts and straw that had been extended earlier.

Lin Xi trembled violently, breathing rapidly. He carefully put his hand into his mouth; his tongue was swollen and throbbing, probably because he had accidentally bitten it in pain, or perhaps because he had a low-grade fever. However, his tongue wasn't the main issue. Lin Xi held his breath and then rubbed the newly formed crease on the inside of his gums with his fingers.

"Hmm..."

When his penis clearly touched those sharp and terrifying unfamiliar organs, he could no longer control himself and gagged.

For about a second or two, Lin Xi's mind went completely blank. She almost went crazy and used her hands to dig out those disgusting organs, tear them all out of her body, and throw them far away.

He desperately wanted to die.

However, at that moment, "Number One" quickly released Lin Xi from his restraints.

It whimpered softly, tucked its feet back under its wings, and then carefully climbed off Lin Xi.

If it were to follow its instincts, it should have quickly moved away from Lin Xi at this moment—after all, its predecessors had long been familiar with the rules of this matter over the long years.

Before she could form an insect marriage and give birth to her first offspring, the Mother of Insects was dangerous and evil to all the alien species.

They might become the kings of that dark kingdom and luxuriously enjoy the favor of the insect queen, but they could also become a delicious and highly nutritious source of energy.

Under these circumstances, if the Mother of the Other Species shows even the slightest dissatisfaction with its existence, it must become vigilant and flee to a location where the Mother cannot catch it. Only by preserving its own life can there be any further possibility between them.

This primordial information, passed down from millions of years ago, is directly imprinted on the cells and soul of "Number One." Its body is already riddled with wounds left by "Lin Xi," and its instincts are constantly and frantically warning it.

However, instinct is one thing... but reality is quite another.

A strange feeling kept surging in "Number One's" chest.

It lay curled up, silently waiting for the wound on its chest to be covered by its own secretions. And throughout it all, "Number One" remained by Lin Xi's side.

Fortunately, the other party did not launch any further attacks on "Number One".

Number One raised his eyes and stared blankly at Lin Xi, who was standing beside him, looking panicked and pale.

It felt a sense of indescribable peace of mind.

Lin Xi is still Lin Xi... not "He".

However, when it realized that the person who bit it this time was Lin Xi, the sense of relief was instantly replaced by a pain that made its internal organs ache.

It didn't understand what was going on; its instincts couldn't answer its questions, and its growing intellect was far too confused—

Lin Xi only gave it a light, threatening bite, and that was all.

Before this, in order to repair its body, "Lin Xi" almost ate "Number One" alive due to a lack of food. Its injuries back then were far more severe—large chunks of flesh were torn directly from the base of its carapace, blood and mucus gushed out uncontrollably, and there was also intense pain and tears that shouldn't have been there...

But at this moment, as "Number One" faced Lin Xi's defiant screech and the small wounds left on its body in an attempt to refuse him, it couldn't understand why these wounds, which were neither painful nor fatal, were so unbearable.

"Number One" looked down and carefully examined the wound on his chest that was still gushing blood.

Why do I feel so bad?

It thought to itself in a daze.

—It was a long, long time before it learned to use "wronged" to describe this bittersweet emotion.

"Number One..."

Lin Xi came to her senses amidst the sobbing of "Number One".

The bloodstains on "Number One's" chest looked horrifying, after all, "Number One's" upper body was now almost indistinguishable from a human body.

The wound pierced by his mouthparts was large. Through the mucus that had begun to secrete, Lin Xi could vaguely see some things wriggling inside the bloody wound. Perhaps those were the internal organs of "Number One".

Lin Xi broke out in a cold sweat.

He simply couldn't imagine that such a severe wound could have been caused by himself in a moment of unconsciousness.

"I didn't mean to... Are you alright?"

Lin Xi's face turned deathly pale as she reached out her hand towards "Number One".

His intention was to carefully examine the wounds on "Number One's" body, but he did not expect that as soon as he moved, "Number One's" wings suddenly tightened, and then it suddenly took several steps back before stopping.

It looked at Lin Xi in a panic, its eyes slightly red.

The scene was somewhat comical, after all, "Number One" looked so ferocious and terrifying (even though its wounds were still bleeding), but in front of Lin Xi, who was still in human form, it was like a stray puppy that longed to be petted but was terrified, and could only tremble slightly and shrink back...

In the end, I still couldn't bear to really leave.

"I...I'm so sorry."

Lin Xi withdrew his hand and instinctively covered his mouth, making his voice sound somewhat strange.

"I was a little... a little out of control just now. I won't do it again—"

He paused, then added in a low voice.

"Don't do that again."
