Chapter 71
In fact, it was not a long way. After all, they had just been separated for a short while. When Wen Yuxiao arrived here, the fire had been put out and everything had been settled. The culprits were pinned to the ground and forced to wear a full set of restraints, and they could no longer cause any trouble.
Two overlords who had fallen behind were handling the incident. Whether through foresight or a sudden realization, they calmly directed the situation, as calm as robots. The crowd, unaware of what was happening, dispersed. After methodically arranging follow-up tasks, they carefully counted the number of prisoners before revealing a satisfied smile. "They're all here."
Yun Yuxi, the one she was thinking about so much, even praying for nothing to happen, stood by, seemingly unharmed. In her arms, she held the orange cat, which had exploded into a giant ball of yarn. She just pouted, her expression somewhat mournful. Upon seeing her approach, she loudly complained to her, "My welcome ceremony... was ruined."
"You're not hurt, are you?" Wen Yuxiao pulled the man over and looked him over. After confirming that only the edge of his clothes was burned, he quickly consoled him, "We can make up for it. How about this: you ascend the throne for me in the future. That will be much more grand than this."
"I don't want to... They'll kill me secretly." Yun Yuxi complained in a low voice and explained the situation to Wen Yuxiao who didn't know what was going on:
She was walking on the red carpet in good health, followed by two familiar-looking younger brothers. Just when she was enjoying the flowers and applause and her vanity was almost half satisfied, several ordinary people in casual clothes suddenly jumped out of the crowd, shouting "Go to hell!" The monster tore off his coat, and rushed over with a full load of explosives tied to his body and holding a gun.
Yun Yuxi was a god after all, and a god with experience in dealing with various emergencies. When she was about to remove the hands and feet of these people and press them to the ground, she remembered that this was Wen Yuxiao's territory, and these people could also be regarded as Wen Yuxiao's people. At that moment, she hesitated.
At this point, Yun Yuxi rubbed against Wen Yuxiao as if to seek credit: "At this critical moment of life and death, I actually still thought about you. I'm really touched, sister!"
"Thank you." Wen Yuxiao was not grateful and manually rejected the other party's gesture of affection. He roughly guessed what would happen next. It was this pause that allowed these people who appeared out of nowhere to succeed and successfully detonate the explosives.
Just as the mastermind hidden in the dark was smiling as he watched the girl's figure being engulfed by flames, the crowd around him suddenly dispersed, as if it was a pre-arranged procedure, leaving a large blank space in the extremely crowded place. A monster jumped out from the shadows under his feet and grabbed his neck from behind like the god of death. A moment was enough to suffocate and make people unconscious.
But his race is particularly thick-skinned and tough in the universe, so he can still kick his legs and struggle desperately for a few times like a frog on the chopping board, but in the end he is still ruthlessly knocked unconscious by the hunter.
The king insects did not ignore Yun Yuxi's life or death when they carried out the operation. Although this explosion was nothing to her, probably just a gust of hot wind blowing in her face, they still threw a small protective device at her feet, completely blocking the sudden attack.
When she returned to the aircraft, Yun Yuxi was still muttering and complaining, attacking the attackers who were like moths to a flame and seeking their own destruction, and the Zerg who, in her opinion, could not do any security work at all, which disappointed her as a foreign guest.
"You guys, you're not doing this on purpose." When Wen Yuxiao couldn't stand her nagging anymore, he covered his ears and found an excuse to go see the scenery and left. After moving to the cabin further forward, Yun Yuxi was no longer as naive as before. Her originally raised mouth corners and fluttering eyebrows gave her a bit of a comedian vibe, but now she had calmed down and was no longer pretending. She looked more like a god overlooking the world from a high latitude than ever before.
"Ah, I guessed it." The white-haired king insect sitting opposite also put down the teacup in his hand. The insect race does not need these elegant human etiquette. If Wen Yuxiao is not there, he does not need to think about how to make himself look more like a friendly person. Inhuman indifference and arrogance slowly climbed up his eyebrows as his expression changed.
Thus, the originally tedious yet warm daily life suddenly turned into one full of dangers.
Yun Yuxi was the first to smile. "I don't mind being treated this way. After all, it's all for my dear sister. But I'd still be a little angry if you didn't inform me in advance. I might even whisper bad things about you guys in her ear..."
As she spoke, she straightened her expression to make herself look more vulnerable, tears even flashing in her eyes, and she looked frightened. "Oh, this place is too unsafe. There are actually things like this lurking among the crowd. I will consider taking my sister away, okay?"
Facing the other party's accusations, the priest had a blank expression on his face. Only when he mentioned Wen Yuxiao did his eyes show some emotion. "It was just that I neglected management before and someone took advantage of the situation. I'm sorry to have frightened you."
His tone shifted, becoming cautious and resolute. "But there's absolutely no danger around her." He produced a stack of documents, already stamped and signed, and handed them to Yun Yuxi nonchalantly, as if handing over a high-value planet with abundant resources and an excellent environment. "This is the perfect testing ground for the new species you've been searching for. The three-dimensional map has been sent to your communicator."
Yun Yuxi accepted the document without hesitation and nodded in satisfaction. Now that her goal had been achieved, there was no need for her to shed crocodile tears. She smiled happily as she expressed her reconciliation: "Okay, happy cooperation."
The outsider cat in his arms witnessed all of this. The deal between the gods and the king insect, each with their own ulterior motives, decided the life and death and future of a planet. But to the two of them, it seemed as easy as just discussing where to have afternoon tea tomorrow. It was so nervous and anxious that it almost meowed, wanting to sneak out when no one was paying attention.
Wen Yuxiao left her original position and stood in front of the French window. She looked at the passing scenery outside the window and adjusted her mood. How could she dislike Yun Yuxi for being annoying? After all, she had just escaped from danger. It was normal for her to lose control of her desire to talk in a panic. She subconsciously ignored the fact that the other party was watching the fun every day and causing bigger troubles and laughing wildly. She took a deep breath and prepared to get some tea and snacks to comfort him.
When she turned around, she found that there was a person standing behind her. The young man with short blond hair whom she had just met before was standing quietly in the shadow corner. When she turned around, his expression was inexplicably pitiful, like a puppy that was left at home and waited for its owner for a long time, and was about to rub against its owner and whimper and throw a tantrum in the next second.
Recalling his first encounter with this person, Wen Yuxiao opened up the dusty past that he didn't want to face again. He hesitated and said, "Did you come to see me specifically at that time?"
"Because I want to see Your Highness." All the Zerg were very honest in front of her. The Overlord, with eyes as gorgeous as a deep pink rose, smiled shyly and said with some distress, "At that time, the priests specifically ordered us not to come to you, saying it would affect your mood. How excessive! Such a strong possessiveness."
Wen Yuxiao tugged at the corner of her clothes embarrassedly. She really didn't want to see the Zerg during that period... It was also the priest who took the blame for her.
At this point, she suddenly remembered something and asked doubtfully, "Speaking of which, I've been wanting to ask from the beginning, don't you have names?"
Wen Yuxiao admitted that she was terrible at naming when she was playing games. She typed out her ID by rolling her face on the keyboard, not to mention naming the little bugs she created. Coming up with a few code names was already her limit.
But when she realized that the game was not virtual, these characters who had various intersections with her lived in flesh and blood somewhere in the universe. They were not programmed, and they had their own joys and sorrows.
So why not just give yourself a convenient name? After all, representing a new life and personal independence all starts with a name, right? They're said to be loyal, but that doesn't mean they're foolish; at most, it's just a fanatical belief...
The girl, who had no idea of her own importance, stared at the corner of the clothes of the person in front of her, muttering to herself that if she had a name, it might be easier to do things in the future.
Thinking of this, Wen Yuxiao looked curiously at the young man who finally walked out of the shadows. The light fell on his golden hair, making every strand seem to be shining. In his clear rosy eyes, only her figure was reflected.
The King Insect slowly opened its mouth, telling the master of life its unwavering resolve, which had remained unchanged for hundreds of years, and the sincerity buried deep within its instincts:
"Because the name doesn't matter," he said. "It doesn't matter who it is. As long as I'm with you, that's enough. Whether it's me or the next Zerg named 'Morning Star,' we will always be by your side. You will never be alone again."
The little monster who had been silent and watching all this quietly finally showed a happy smile. He narrowed his eyes and looked at his brother with admiration for the first time. The two looked at each other inadvertently and realized that the other was his past/future.
Wen Yuxiao was stunned by the other party's mixed emotions of paranoia, admiration, and crazy love. She stood there for a while, unable to react. The oath was too grand, as if love had traveled through all time and dimensions to wrap her up layer by layer. She took on the heavy emotions without any preparation. The god who was sworn to said "hmm" twice randomly, left the scene as if escaping, and said "I'll go get some fruit."
When the cat reached the door, there was a "click" sound, and the heavy door automatically opened to both sides.
Wen Yuxiao, carrying a stack of snacks and fruits, kept mentally preparing herself on the way. After pacing back and forth in the corridor for several times, she finally decided to go in. She lowered her head and looked at the cat, then looked at the two people getting along harmoniously in the room, and asked, "Would you like some cake?" As soon as she finished speaking, the little monster behind her rushed in and pushed the cat, which wanted to escape, back.
"Great! It's a snack. I'll eat it, eat it, eat it." Yun Yuxi's inquiring eyes swept across Wen Yuxiao's face, and soon turned back to his heartless look as before.
She hugged Wen Yuxiao, who was sitting next to her, and kissed her on the cheek under the gloomy gaze of the White-haired King Insect: "I know my sister is the best to me. She even went out of her way to get something I like to comfort my wounded little heart. Come on, let's kiss again."
Wen Yuxiao really couldn't stand her sticky attitude, so he picked up the cat that was sitting upright at his feet for some reason to block it. After smearing the cat's mouth with fur, he decisively sat back next to the priest. The white-haired king insect frowned and carefully wiped the shiny water marks on her face with a handkerchief. It seemed that he wanted to kiss her again to replace the invisible lip print.
"Those people are deeply hidden opposition elements." Regarding those arrested today, the priest sighed and said, "Despite our repeated testing, there are still these gifted and scheming aliens lurking within the Zerg. We originally thought that these aliens could be used by us... It seems that if we want to change everyone's stereotypes, we can't do it without His Highness' guidance."
"Fortunately, we've probably caught them all this time," the White-haired King Insect said with a smile. "While I admire their ability to hypnotize themselves, being too impatient is not a good thing. It seems that those of us trained by His Highness are still superior."
Yun Yuxi spat out the cat hair in his mouth with two "Puh" sounds, picked up the green tea on the table to rinse his mouth, and just after taking a sip, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is worthy of being a century-old brew, good tea, really good tea.
