Text 7
Wen Yuxiao started to have a headache again. She originally wanted to loudly scold the other party and tell him not to get close to her again, but the other party really helped her. If it weren't for these Zergs, she would probably be the one in the social news.
It's impossible for her to escape a disaster thanks to others and then turn against them once she's safe. Her moral sense is already condemning her for such a contrived act.
The problem is that I am not the real queen.
The original novel's female supporting character is an orphan with a rather unpleasant personality. From childhood to adulthood, she's never experienced any unwarranted kindness or care from others. Most of the people around her are indifferent and numb, pursuing a life of indifference. Like everyone else, they have no dreams or future, and can only slowly dissolve in the dust, uncared for, unnoticed.
It can be said that the appearance of the priest at that time was like a ray of light that saved her, not to mention that the entire race's unreasonable preference for her later wrapped her up like honey.
She was ecstatic, thinking that someone was so kind to her, without any ulterior motive and without asking for anything in return.
I will hold it firmly in my hands.
The idiom "a moth to a flame" has long told us the fate of trying to grasp the sun by force, that is, being reduced to ashes without any room for maneuver. The arrogant Zerg did not care at all that they had recognized the wrong person first and ruthlessly sentenced her to death.
They were the ones who held her high up in the air, so why did they end up throwing her to the ground with their own hands, breaking her into pieces?
The female supporting character couldn't understand it, but Wen Yuxiao, as an outsider, could see things clearly. She had read countless such melodramatic novels and knew the routines inside very well. She thought that if she were in their place, she would definitely not indulge in it and would use her clever little brain to distance herself from the protagonists.
But there are many spiders in the Zerg that are good at weaving webs. When she resists, they will set up a dragnet, like boiling a frog in warm water, slowly softening their prey until they can swallow it in one bite.
This was like a slap in the face. Wen Yuxiao recalled her interactions with the priest. When did she let go and let him hold her in his arms, playing with his fingers and touching her hair?
How did she connect to the collective consciousness network and indirectly acknowledge her identity as the queen?
I can only say that I have been deceived. We are all thousand-year-old foxes. We can come up with hundreds of ideas to kill her in a blink of an eye. Every action is carefully planned. Every smile and every word has a purpose, just to make her let down her guard.
Wen Yuxiao, whose age in this and previous life combined was no more than fifty years old, thought for a moment and started playing irrelevant BGM for himself.
It is impossible to completely sever ties with the Zerg now. The priests alone have close ties with her. She can only try to marginalize herself. As long as she survives before the true queen returns and does not force anything that does not belong to her, maybe... it will work?
This was the only good idea that Wen Yuxiao's not-so-bright little brain could think of.
So she sincerely thanked Fang Yu for saving her life, and asked if there was anything she could do to help her. When she learned that the other party wanted to invite her out for dinner, she decisively refused and told him bluntly that she had no money.
Fang Yu on the other end of the communicator sent her a laughing emoticon, followed by a sweet female voice coaxing her into agreeing: Of course I'll treat you.
Wen Yuxiao decided to be a straight girl to the end. It was impossible to have a dinner together, not in this life. If there was a first time, there would be a second time. Many relationships started with a dinner invitation. Today they could eat on this planet, and tomorrow he could take her to the Zerg main planet and eat there as the Queen.
She pretended to be embarrassed: Although I don’t really like going out to eat or anything like that...but if you like, I can accompany you.
She played the emotional card. As soon as she made it clear, the terminal understood immediately. With these repeated rejections, the Queen was asking her not to pester her. If she continued to pester her, her favorability would increase.
He ended the topic very wisely and found several examples of online dating chats to study carefully. He asked Wen Yuxiao about her well-being every day, seized every opportunity to give her money and pay for her, and wanted to ask her out to play and eat several times, and hinted that he would cover all expenses.
Without exception, all of them were rejected by Wen Yuxiao. Now her main style is to show that she has no hope in life and is depressed. Even when her mouth is drooling, she still has to say that she doesn't like eating or entertainment.
Terminal said, "Good morning, do you want to have breakfast together?" Wen Yuxiao said, "I got up early and was already studying in the classroom."
The terminal said, "Good afternoon, what are you eating? Which restaurant has delicious specialties? Would you like to try them?" Wen Yuxiao said, "Thank you, but I just took a nutritional supplement and I'm a little full."
The terminal said, "Good night, Your Highness. Sweet dreams. If you can't sleep, we can chat, or I can coax you to sleep, or do you want a midnight snack?" Wen Yuxiao didn't reply that night. She sent her a message at around six o'clock the next day, saying, "I'm sorry, I went to bed early and didn't see it."
Even on Sundays, she didn't slack off, mentioning fun places with discounts for two people and delicious restaurants with discounts for two people. She also said that she had no friends other than Wen Yuxiao and wanted to save money but had no other choice. Wen Yuxiao ruthlessly exposed her claim that she had a brother, saying, "Go enjoy yourself. I'm going to work."
In this way, Wen Yuxiao is becoming more and more perfunctory, relying on the fact that others will not be angry with her. Sometimes when she is tired and in a bad mood, she will not talk to others at all. The other party is also patient and still sends her a lot of messages.
As for the priest, he is now keen on having afternoon tea in his own small garden. Wen Yuxiao mentioned it "accidentally", and he immediately made a table and tea set, subconsciously meeting all her requirements.
Then Wen Yuxiao left his arms very naturally, sat in the seat opposite him, opened the book and began to study in her dream.
The priest poured her some tea and snacks. She thanked him kindly but didn't eat a single bite. She looked focused and said that she wanted to study. She told him that her goal was to go to the best school in the entire galaxy (not true).
The priest felt pity for the scholar and secretly envied the books because she had neglected them. He did not dare to disturb Her Majesty the Queen and could only transfer his hatred to the scholar. He wanted to go back and grab the scholar's collar and ask him to lower the admission score of the main star school.
The priest wanted to kiss her fingers as usual, but Wen Yuxiao was taking notes. He wanted to comb her long hair, but Wen Yuxiao tied it into a ponytail, saying it would be more convenient for reading.
Even the most intimate spiritual counseling sessions had been changed to handshakes due to Wen Yuxiao's awakening. Her spiritual power was now significantly stronger, nurtured bit by bit by the priest, allowing her to hold on and not fall asleep during counseling. Of course, she would also hold a book in her other hand to pretend.
After being mocked by the rich businessman for the seventh time, "Can you do it? Why doesn't the Queen trust you yet?", although the priest wanted to press his colleague's head into the ground to let him feel the fragrance of the soil and wake up, he was also anxious because of Wen Yuxiao's cold and distant behavior, so he had to use his ultimate move.
"Breeding period?" Wen Yuxiao finally looked up, his eyes falling on the serious face of the white-haired king insect.
She thought about it carefully. This setting was in the original book. In order to satisfy everyone's hobbies and gain XP, the Queen must breed once when she reaches adulthood, and then once every two months. The Queen must use pheromones to appease her.
Pheromones only exist in the body of the queen insect. In order to create a melodramatic scene or to fill in a bug, the author made it seem like this fake queen also had a breeding period.
The more she thought about it, the more horrified her expression became.
After a quick search in her mind, Wen Yuxiao dug out the original plot from the corner. This was a benefit and privilege given to the real queen, and of course the female supporting role could not get it. During the first breeding period, she was locked in the room by the Zerg who inexplicably did not want to stay with her. She cried for three days and three nights, and she almost tortured herself to death before she got through it.
During this period, the Zerg only guaranteed her survival. The seven Zerg kings who had the power of command might have sensed something was wrong, and none of them wanted to get close to her. Even when she went crazy and tried to force them to give orders, she was ruthlessly rejected and had to figure it out on her own.
Wen Yuxiao stared at the priest in front of her. Although her life was difficult, it did not mean that she could endure hardship. Her attitude towards this sudden misfortune was that she would ask the priest to draw two tubes of blood for her as a charitable blood donation. She would buy two banners for him afterwards.
After all, blood is also a substance, right?
"I need to ensure your safety and the care you deserve during the breeding period, Your Highness." The priest remained calm under Wen Yuxiao's thoughtful gaze. He slowly poured her a cup of tea and pushed it in front of her.
Of course, there was no need to ask how to guarantee this. She would definitely go back to the Zerg main planet. They would be guarding her. Wen Yuxiao stroked the teacup with his fingertips and suddenly suggested, "I think I can get through it alone?"
The priest frowned in disapproval and did not tell her that then the entire Zerg would riot. The Queen's pain and desire would be transmitted to every Zerg mind through the cluster consciousness network. The higher the rank, the clearer it would be. Especially for the Overlords like them, they would be affected to the point of losing their minds, revealing their original forms, searching everywhere and tearing apart any creature that might hinder them.
He himself was no exception. The more sober and rational a person was, the deeper they fell into it. Especially after so many years, when they suddenly received the signal that the Queen was calling them for the breeding season, they had no idea how crazy they would become.
The existence of seven overlords is entirely due to the balance and restraint imposed by the Queen. Otherwise, they would have fought each other to determine the final winner.
"Your Highness..." The priest adjusted his expression and smiled harmlessly. "Although I really want to agree to your request, I can't. This will make not only me but everyone else feel uneasy."
Wen Yuxiao wisely did not ask them what would happen if they felt uneasy. Her sixth sense told her that this would definitely not be a very gentle answer. Since the Zerg could suddenly appear to save her, they must have known where she was a long time ago. It was just that she didn't like them mentioning this, so they kept silent.
"If you agree, I would like to come to you alone and help you through the breeding period. I have a method that you would probably accept."
The priest then made a suggestion, and without further ado, he explained the method: extract the pheromones from his blood, use technological means to make atomized gas, and spread it in the air to soothe her.
Although I really wanted to ask them not to come over and just mail the atomizer so I could do it myself, it wasn't a wise decision to push for more after they had made such a big concession. Besides, she had no experience with breeding, so having them come over would provide a safeguard in case something went wrong.
"Okay, just come here alone and try not to let others know, okay?" After weighing the pros and cons, Wen Yuxiao agreed to this method.
The priest lowered his head and eyelids, saying "yes," hiding the distorted excitement on his face. The monster inside him roared with delight. He calmed himself and adjusted his slightly broken human skin, thinking that this was the look Her Majesty liked, and he couldn't ruin it.
But it’s still a little… hard to bear.
So Wen Yuxiao watched as two furry tentacles suddenly emerged from the priest's head. They were moon-white, almost the same light color as his hair, and more like two small bird feathers than the insect tentacles. They trembled slightly under her surprised gaze, then shrank shyly, trying to hide in their hair.
Looking at the priest's expression again, his usual gentle smile was gone. His fair skin was covered with a thin layer of red, and mist appeared in his cobalt blue eyes. The big white moth had turned into a big pink moth.
In a panic, he quickly covered his face and turned away.
Kicking away the thought in his mind, "How cute! Go touch him!", Wen Yuxiao knew that today's impulsive emotions would turn into a hammer to hit him hard tomorrow, so he decided to be considerate and give the priest some private space.
"Ahem." She coughed twice, and her little antennae that looked like bird feathers stood up alertly, making her so cute that her heart was filled with bubbles. "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Good night, good night, go to bed early."
After she finished speaking, she quickly disconnected the mental connection, fearing that if she delayed even a second, she would stretch out her claws to those lovely tentacles.
Damn, it's furry! It's so soft and fluffy, and it feels so good to the touch. It's as soft as cotton and as fluffy as a kitten!
