But trouble will find you.
"Then let's get to know each other," Brother Liu confidently extended his hand, but his eyes fell on the box the priest had been carrying. "You and Xiaoxiao can just call me Brother Liu."
The white-haired king insect glanced at him and felt Wen Yuxiao tugging at his clothes from behind, signaling him not to mess around.
"Hello." Then he shook hands with the person calmly.
The hands touched and then separated. Brother Liu only felt a chill on his hand before the man and the girl were about to leave. He hurriedly stopped them and said, "Since we are friends, let's go have a meal together. It's my treat."
Wen Yuxiao's toes were about to dig through the earth. She really wanted to say, "Brother, give up. This guy is not a good person. If his true form is revealed, it will be bigger than yours. He might scare you to death."
It was obvious that the priest didn't want to endure it anymore, mainly because he just saw an expression of impatience and helplessness on Wen Yuxiao's face beside him. It didn't matter if he dealt with people for another hour, but he couldn't let his mother feel unhappy.
"Terminal," he ordered coldly, his voice low, "turn off the camera."
Then, a fierce mental wave surged out from him, grabbing the brain of everyone who was looking at them at this moment, controlling their minds, rewriting their memories, and then copying a past memory to arbitrarily and roughly replace this memory.
Wen Yuxiao clearly felt the priest's mental power, which was strong and unbridled. Such a dangerous power rubbed around her fingers playfully, showing her its lovely side.
She stared blankly at Brother Liu in front of her, who suddenly froze, then stood up straight and walked back to where he was standing before with lifeless eyes. She looked around and found that everyone had the same dull and turbid eyes, and they were all doing their own things. Even the cameras had their heads down.
Is this the Overlord? Wen Yuxiao was still thinking about this incident as he boarded the unmanned hovercraft, stealing a glance at the quiet and harmless priest sitting beside him.
The white-haired king insect, who had just controlled others to make way, sat quietly and gently, with his ever-present metal briefcase on his knees. Noticing her gaze, he turned around and gave her a nice smile.
Wen Yuxiao just felt a little creepy and turned his head away and stopped looking at him.
The car was moving at a breakneck speed, and even though it was a short distance, it arrived at the two-story villa in less than two minutes. After she got out of the car, the door automatically opened for her, and a lively electronic voice greeted her enthusiastically: "Welcome, Your Highness!"
She had heard that the houses of the rich were controlled by caring artificial intelligence butlers, but this was her first time encountering one. She didn't know how to react and could only subconsciously look at the priest beside her.
"You can call it the Terminal," the priest introduced. "It's an artificial intelligence developed by scholars. It's currently the most advanced in the entire galaxy and very useful. The main body is stored in the research institute on the main star. What's here is just a piece of data."
So... the one who's been monitoring her with cameras and helping her deal with things these days is this artificial intelligence?
While thinking about her classmate Xiao X from her previous life, Wen Yuxiao greeted this somewhat overly human artificial intelligence. The priest led her into the house. The furry carpet felt so soft and unreal under her bare feet. She was still admiring the layout of the house when she caught a glimpse of a few strands of white hair on the ground.
Wang Chong took out a pair of cute rabbit slippers, knelt on one knee on the ground, and the ends of his snow-white hair slid to the ground with his movements. He placed the slippers at Wen Yuxiao's feet.
...So embarrassing. Wen Yuxiao was so nervous she felt like she was suffocating. She silently put on her slippers, using her gestures to reject the other party's idea of putting them on her personally. The priest stood up with some regret and showed her around the house. On the first floor was a spacious and bright hall, a kitchen with neat appliances, and a neat and clean bathroom.
A large refrigerator filled with snacks and drinks was placed in the corner of the living room, and the priest also opened the refrigerator in the kitchen, which was filled with food.
There are two rooms on the second floor. The one on the left is hers, and the overall decoration is in a cute pink and white girlish style. The one on the right is the priest's. Although the priest opened the door very frankly, she was embarrassed to go in and take a look.
The priest let her adjust to it while he went downstairs to cut some fruit.
Wen Yuxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and opened the closet to put her clothes away. It turned out to be filled with all kinds of beautiful clothes. It seemed that the skirts made according to her preferences took up most of the space in the closet. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it. It felt great.
She stuffed her shabby clothes back into the small bag.
There were many bottles and jars neatly arranged on the sink in the bathroom. They were all well-known brand skin care products that had not been opened. She curiously pulled open the curtain inside and saw a bathtub.
"Wow." Wen Yuxiao followed her heart and let out a cry of surprise. She had never taken a bath in a bathtub in her two lives and had always wanted to try it. Now that she had the title of Queen, she could finally enjoy it once.
She took her communicator and e-book module and went downstairs. The priest was busy in the kitchen, holding a fruit knife and cutting a pile of brightly colored fruits.
Inserting the e-book module into the communicator, she began her study for the day.
The priest cut a plate of fruit and placed it in front of her. The strawberries and cherries looked good and tasted good. Wen Yuxiao was thinking in her mind that she should restrain herself and not act like a starving ghost who had never seen the world, but she finished the whole plate of fruit without realizing it.
She felt she had eaten enough and thought she had restrained herself from eating too much, but when she looked up she saw an empty plate.
The priest, who was waiting like a servant, cleared the dishes and brought her a glass of milk. He sat on the sofa beside her and asked softly, "What do you want for dinner, meat or seafood?"
Wen Yuxiao thought of the nutritional supplements in her small bag and answered hesitantly, "I brought nutritional supplements."
But she felt that she was somewhat of a spoiler, so she quickly added: "How about we eat meat? I can eat anything!" She herself is easy to feed, but she doesn't know what the delicate and exquisite king insect thinks.
"Okay." The priest pretended not to hear the speech about the nutritional supplement. Thinking that he had to steal this thing and throw it away, he nodded, got up and went into the kitchen.
Nowadays, many people like to use artificial intelligence to cook. As long as there are ingredients, it can satisfy you with a variety of dishes, and you can also choose seasonings according to your taste.
However, some people still insist on cooking their own meals, claiming that AI cannot master the subtleties of cooking and that it is impossible to create truly delicious dishes. These two factions often argue fiercely, and have even held several competitions to determine the winner.
As for Wen Yuxiao, none of the above has anything to do with her. She is poor and can only take nutritional supplements.
The priest's cooking skills were very good. I don't know if he had any special training, but all the dishes he made were what Wen Yuxiao liked. She let go of her reserve and turned into a glutton, eating two large bowls of rice and clearing all the delicacies on the table. She felt that this was the first time she had truly eaten a full meal in the eighteen years since she traveled through time.
You don’t have to wash the dishes after eating. The terminal’s robotic arm extends from the ceiling and takes the dishes to the kitchen for you to wash yourself.
Afterward, it was time to digest the food. The priest walked her around the front yard and introduced the flowers there. The vibrant blossoms delighted Wen Yuxiao, a flower-appreciating woman with little culture and taste, and she chatted with the priest for a few minutes.
That night, the starry sky could be easily seen from the small balcony connected to the room, but Wen Yuxiao was already lying comfortably in the bathtub. The terminal controlled the robotic arm to wash her hair and massage her, so considerate that she didn't even need to lift a finger. She almost melted into a pool of water and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
She woke up when the terminal's service stopped. Although she was very relaxed, some habits could not be changed. Wen Yuxiao changed into the cute pajamas that the terminal had just brought her and fell asleep on the soft bed.
She fell asleep heartlessly. In the next room, the priest was drawing blood. The suitcase opened and stretched, and a set of advanced equipment suddenly appeared in front of her. The terminal pierced the exposed arm of the white-haired king insect with a needle without mercy. The light blue blood, which was different from that of ordinary people, flowed into the equipment through the thin tube and was quickly extracted into a milky white liquid.
The blood of the queen insect is in short supply on the black market. In the wars of the past few years, it was possible to obtain a few drops of blood or hair, but after careful research, scientists found that they could not crack the genetic code of the opponent at all.
Compared to them, these monsters are mysterious and noble, like the gods' most beloved creations.
After studying the samples, the more scientists delved into them, the more incredible their findings became. Even now, many civilizations are still secretly seeking to purchase them.
But now there is no war, and no individual power can hurt these monsters.
Not to mention that if the Zerg knew about this, they would probably be liquidated.
If Wen Yuxiao took a few drops of blood or a few hairs from the priest and sold them to the civilizations that wanted to buy them, the money she got would be enough for her to live the rest of her life safely.
The liquid was evaporated into gas and put into the bottle. The terminal turned on the air circulation system in the girl's room and quietly put the extracted pheromones in. These could soothe her anxious and bored mood to the greatest extent.
Wen Yuxiao opened her eyes and found herself in the small garden again. Even though there was a wall between them, they still had to meet in her dream.
She noticed something was different here, and after careful consideration, she realized it was a change of flowers. She hadn't thought to ask; this was the priest's spiritual world, and they were free to do whatever they wanted.
Unexpectedly, the priest took the initiative to speak: "You must be tired of those flowers, so I changed them." He did not mention that he had revealed his original form before and was so angry that he demolished and rebuilt this place several times.
Then came the spiritual counseling by holding hands. Perhaps because they had more contact during the day, the priest was no longer obsessed with being too close to her and kept a distance from her that made her feel at ease.
Being served meticulously by the priests and the terminal, who fed her with different dishes and fruits every day, Wen Yuxiao was full of energy and vitality. She was not nervous during the exams and was full of confidence, which was in stark contrast to the classmates around her who were so anxious that they wanted to cry.
Because the priest often came to pick her up, her conspicuous white hair and cold appearance attracted a lot of attention, but Wen Yuxiao usually didn't have many friends in the class. She was a semi-transparent person huddled in the corner. Now it was an important exam period, so although everyone paid attention to her, no one came to disturb her.
Perhaps it was because the priest's attitude was too friendly and gentle, Wen Yuxiao quickly let go of her resistance. Her mind, occupied by the exam, threw the matter of the fake queen into a corner. It was not until the last day, when she walked out of the examination room and was held hand by the white-haired man and returned to the villa, that she realized that the distance was too close.
But the priest's kindness to her was real. Wen Yuxiao didn't dare to say that if she were in his place, she would never indulge in the male protagonist's lofty ambitions. She finally understood why the female supporting role had clung to him so tightly. She looked at the back of the priest who was busy in the kitchen, his long white hair tied up, the ends of his hair swaying slightly, attracting her attention.
If... if the priest could really be her family.
Wen Yuxiao thought enviously, she looked at the other person with a longing look that she herself did not even notice. There was no need for them to be overly intimate, as long as he was a brother. If she had such a good brother, why would she have to live such a hard and cautious life.
Please, please, she would bless the priest and the heroine to be sweet and together forever, if only he were really her brother.
