Chapter 67: The Substitute

Adrian had only just had the chance to open the book. Male insects in the insect tribe rarely studied, and some even never went to school. When they reached a certain age, they began to marry female insects in large numbers to reproduce.

Adrian is one of the few male insects who has read books.

Resources are scarce in the slums, and in this extremely harsh environment, bullying and violence will continue to grow. Similarly, because this area is far away from the Imperial Star and lacks military females to watch over it, the situation of male insects will be more difficult.

The ratio of male to female insects in the insect species can reach 1:1000000, and every birth of a male insect is watched closely by countless eyes.

However, most of the insects born in the slums are low-level males, and the highest of their mental strength is only D-level, which is completely unable to pacify the chaotic mental sea of ​​the female insects.

In Adrian's memory, the chaotic and ungoverned area was often filled with the corpses of male insects that had been raped to death.

The empire will not protect useless male insects in remote areas.

Adrian wants to move up, he can't rot in a place like this.

Escaping from the slums is as difficult as escaping from a closed cage. Edrian himself has a high level of mental strength. After hiding everywhere, he was finally fortunate enough to get help from Sean, the fifth prince of the empire.

Sean is also a male insect, and his level is higher than Edrian. After learning about Edrian's situation, he took him out of the slums and asked him to apply for a resident certificate in Imperial Star.

It was only after he moved to the Imperial Star that Edrien learned of Sean's identity. Sean was not only the fifth prince, but also the crown prince of the current empire and the future Insect King.

Adrian was surprised at Sean's identity, and in some ways he felt more gratitude and respect for Sean than anything else.

Later, Edrian followed Sean in and out of the palace many times, and saw many things he had never seen before. Gold, jewelry, crystal, jade ornaments... Almost every time he was speechless about the extravagant life of the royal male insects.

When Edrian first came to Imperial Star, he did not have such great ambitions. Although he had some yearning for the throne, he would not compete with Sean for it.

But the way Sean looked at him had changed invisibly.

He said that Adrian's eyes were like his queen's.

Sean's queen was seriously injured in the battlefield in his early years and has been lying in bed ever since, having become a vegetative insect. Sean has a deep affection for his queen and has never forgotten her over the years.

Adrian felt something was wrong after hearing what Sean said.

He is a male insect and he has no interest in Sean, a homosexual insect, not to mention that Sean wants Adrian to be his secret lover.

Homosexuality is illegal, and Sean doesn't want to damage their reputations, so he plans to lock Adrian in the basement for his entire life for his own amusement.

How is this life different from Adrian's previous life in the slums?

"So you plan to kill him and seize the throne." Gouqiu Tousheng admires Edrien's psychological change.

Adrian threw his hands up: "There's nothing we can do. He brought this upon himself."

"After all, when he sent bugs to beat me to death in the slums... he didn't go easy on me." Adrian smiled, leaned back on the sofa boredly, turned his head and stopped talking.

Sean had plans for Adrian.

Every beating Adrian received in the slums, every accident he encountered... Sean was behind it.

His male father died, and his female father was beaten and crippled, and soon after he also died, leaving Adrien behind.

Adrian once looked at the black rain that often dripped from the sky in the slums, and wondered why the sun never shone on him.

Later he realized that Sean was blocking the sunlight from shining on him.

Sean must have thought that what he had done was perfect. He tortured Edrian half to death, and then appeared before him as a savior, hoping that Edrian would be grateful to him.

But Edrian already knew the truth. Living in Sean's shadow, he soon realized that his only way out was to ascend the throne.

If Sean ascends the throne, Edrian will still be imprisoned and humiliated by him. Instead of this, Edrian might as well fight for himself.

In the end, we did achieve some small results, but too many insects died and we lost a lot of things that are hard to describe.

Edrien once stood on the throne and looked back. The hall was empty and desolate. The eaves of the palace were very low, pressing down on his eyes. He could not see the green mountains and plants in the distance, nor could he see the place from which he came.

If you just live and sigh.

It was not easy for Edrian to achieve this level. But Sean was the hero, and he was protected by the fate of the world, and he still escaped from Edrian. A year later, Sean led the female soldiers to capture the imperial city and regained the throne.

Adrian eventually died.

"This guy is really lucky. I stabbed him more than 20 times, and his heart was broken, but he was still able to run away alive." Adrian was unbelievable, "Isn't this a fake corpse?"

Gouqiu was helpless and said, "He is the hero. He is hard to kill."

Adrian gritted his teeth in hatred.

"But are you sure you killed him?" The ball landed on Edrian's head. The ball was not big but heavy, pressing down Edrian's head so that it kept drooping.

"Yes, I watched him die." Adrian rolled his eyes and repeated, "He was dead at that time, his body was stiff."

The red light on Goujue Tuosheng's body flashed for a moment, and he had already made a judgment.

The world will give a certain person special protection, but whether it can be used effectively depends on the person himself.

As the final villain of this world, Adrian must have as much luck as Sean. Their fight is considered normal, and the world will not intervene no matter which side falls.

But Sean died and came back to life...something else got in the way.

He was just trying to survive without any confidence in the little energy he had. A PUA ball almost took away half of his life. The system in this world might be even more powerful.

"Edrian, you have to work hard!" Gouchusuisheng jumped on Edrian's head and said seriously, "You can't move anymore! You can't move anymore! If you move again, we will all be finished!"

Adrian: “…”

It was very cautious and quickly shrunk its spherical size and hid in Adrian's shirt pocket, so as to avoid being seen by something strange and exposing its whereabouts.

Adrien was speechless for a moment, then finally turned a page of the white paper.

[The insect god descended upon me on a cold night. He taught me love and true feelings. Rehirobia will guide me in the direction I came from. There is a way back, even though there are thorns.]

Adrian: “…”
