Chapter 392 Will My Sister Hate Me?
"What's so good about that old man? Can't you wait for me, sister? I'll be coming to find you soon, and I'll marry you..."
Cyprus tilted his head back, his large eyes as deep blue as the sea, filled with sorrow.
Whether it was an act or not, Qu Tong remained unmoved.
"I've made myself very clear, there's no possibility between us."
"Sister, I don't mind, please don't abandon me."
As he spoke, Cyprus was about to pounce on Qu Tong.
Qu Tong prepared to back away, but unexpectedly Cyprus was much faster than before, and her arm was suddenly grabbed.
Qu Tong's expression instantly turned cold, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
Qu Tong tried to pull her hand away, but Cyprus was holding her too tightly, and she couldn't get it out at all.
Qu Tong raised his other hand and chopped down with a palm strike.
Cyprus then let go.
Qu Tong stepped back two meters away, and pale green light gathered in her hand. "If you can't understand human language, I know a little about Zerg etiquette."
The leaves trailed pale green tails and flew towards Cyprus like a shower of petals, beautiful yet dangerous.
"Heartless woman!" Cyprus cursed under his breath, his figure disappearing from the spot.
Having just appeared on the other side, his sense of danger forced him to turn to the side.
The next second, Qu Tong's attack grazed his shoulder.
After exchanging more than a dozen blows, Cyprus, already in poor health, was no match for Qu Tong.
Before he knew it, he was violently flung against the tree trunk by the vines of Qu Tong, making a solid impact sound.
Cyprus coughed twice, clutching his chest. His face was even paler than before, almost translucent. He spoke weakly before the next attack:
"Sister, stop hitting me, I give up."
Qu Tong landed not far away, the vines shrank and wrapped around his wrist three and a half times, looking at him with a cold expression.
“I’m already injured, and you still hit me so hard.” Cyprus stood up from the ground, his tone much more normal than before.
"You asked for it."
Cyprus knew that Qu Tong was referring to him touching her. From the beginning, she had not allowed herself to get close, and a bitter look flashed quickly in her eyes.
"I won't say those things anymore, and I won't touch you without your permission." Cyprus temporarily compromised and gave in.
Because he knew that if he didn't compromise, this woman would beat him until he gave in, according to the Zerg's principle of the winner takes all.
Qu Tong didn't speak, and the green wood on her wrist disappeared.
"Sister, I'm now even more injured, and my spirit stone is almost shattered. You deserve half the credit for this. It's not too much to ask that you take me in here to recover, is it?" Cyprus raised a wicked smile again, his eyes slanting upwards.
Although Cyprus is still a child, making such an expression doesn't seem out of place at all; he's a mischievous yet handsome little boy.
Judging from Cyprus's pale complexion, he is indeed in very poor condition.
For the Zerg, the essence stone is as important as the human heart.
But what does that have to do with her?
He didn't need to come here looking for a beating.
Before Qu Tong could refuse, she received Si Yuting's entry application.
"Um?"
Shouldn't Si Yuting be in the Fifth Army's recruit camp at this time?
Despite her doubts, Qu Tong manually approved Si Yuting's application.
In fact, she had set permissions for Si Yuting and everyone on the planet, and entry applications would be automatically approved 15 seconds after submission.
Si Yuting should arrive soon, Qu Tong turned back.
Cyprus is now an uncertain factor, so we'll include it as well.
Cyprus has become like a child this time, but his strength has not been suppressed; in fact, he is even stronger than before.
Although Qu Tong believed that Cyprus wouldn't harm anyone on her planet, she was afraid he would destroy her farm.
Since her last conversation with him, she knew that although the Zerg could eat anything, energy fruits and vegetables could help them grow better, and eating a lot when injured could speed up their recovery.
When Si Yuting arrived, he saw Cyprus and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Cyprus was extremely displeased with Si Yuting, and gave a heavy, cold snort, showing no intention of replying.
"He just arrived, and I haven't been able to find out exactly what happened yet," Qu Tong explained.
Si Yuting nodded and looked Cyprus up and down.
Cyprus frowned in displeasure.
Qu Tong took out the watermelon she had cut earlier from the refrigerator, and before she even reached Si Yuting, she felt Cyprus's intense and resentful gaze.
Qu Tong placed the plate in front of Cyprus, took two pieces, handed one to Si Yuting, and ate the other herself.
"Why did you come here?"
Si Yuting took it. "Three pharmacists from the Pharmacist Guild were murdered. I'm in charge of the investigation. My flying vehicle is half a day faster, so I just stopped by to see you."
Qu Tong raised an eyebrow, took a bite of watermelon, and asked, "What did you find out?"
“It was done by the Zerg.” Si Yuting’s gaze turned to Cyprus.
Cyprus seemed not to hear, continuing to eat his watermelon without even looking up.
Si Yuting continued, "We tried to contact the Insect Queen, but we couldn't get through, so I'm taking some people to go to the Insect Planet myself to take a look."
The Insect Queen and her group also knew something about quantum computers; they had exchanged contact information during the previous negotiations.
The two planets that were leased to the Zerg as Zerg planets happen to be located in the southeastern region.
As soon as Si Yuting finished speaking, Cyprus coldly said, "She's dead."
Qu Tong was somewhat surprised and looked over: "You did this?"
Cyprus, holding a watermelon, gave Qu Tong a seductive smile.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Insect Queen is your mother. Currently, 90% of the Insects of SS rank and above are born from the Insect Queen." Si Yuting was also somewhat surprised by this.
“You’ve done a pretty thorough investigation.” Cyprus turned his head and stared straight at Qu Tong. “So, will my sister hate me? I ate my own mother.”
Cyprus spoke the last sentence softly and slowly.
Qu Tong was taken aback by the question, not because of Cyprus.
But when Cyprus looked at her, it was unlike anything he had ever done before; there was a hint of struggle, yet also a resolute determination to break the ice.
Unlike humans, the Zerg do not have many familial bonds; their society is more about the survival of the fittest.
The Zerg's relationships are also a mess, with many of the Zerg Queen's mates being her own offspring.
The queen insect possesses the entire colony, and the offspring can serve as both mates and food.
But it still takes time to process the thought of eating one's own mother.
Knowing is one thing.
"What does this have to do with me?" Qu Tong remained as indifferent as before.
She and Cyprus were, to a lesser extent, friends who had worked together, but it was completely different from the relationship between Fei Wenxing and the others, so it wasn't a matter of whether she disliked or not.
Cyprus laughed, “If I don’t eat her, I won’t be able to gain the ability to open wormholes, nor will I be able to reach a higher potential.”
Cyprus seemed to be explaining this to Qu Tong on purpose.
"So you're now the new... Emperor of the Zerg?" Qu Tong considered for a moment and chose a human word.
"No, other Zerg can also acquire these abilities in the same way."
Qu Tong and Si Yuting finally understood.
The Zerg have undergone a major transformation. Cyprus must have paid a heavy price to defeat the Zerg Queen, and now he has fled.
"What's your relationship with the Zerg who killed the apothecary in the Canaan Empire?" Si Yuting asked coldly.
