The Lord Arrives
Mu Xiao's empty arms seemed to still linger the touch of lotus flowers. He turned his head to look at the male insect's smiling profile. Xielo actually took the initiative to introduce himself. Is he interested in him?
"My name is Mu Xiao. Why did you agree to let me enter this territory?" If he remembered correctly, there were army bugs patrolling the road to the church yesterday, but today the road was unobstructed.
Xi'e Luo removed the necklace from his chest and slowly raised the dazzling red cross until it overlapped with the cross on the top of the church. He lowered his voice and said, "I didn't volunteer to be this messenger. Life here is so boring. No insect dares to accompany me."
"Why? If I climb up the ladder, can't I escape from this sea of suffering in the dungeon?" Mu Xiao doubted the truth of this statement. Although the royal family was gradually divided into other families, it still had a certain weight in the Zerg.
"It's a sea of suffering everywhere. Are you looking for me to leave the dungeon?" Xielo pursed his lips, and his thick eyelashes hid the emotions in his eyes. His indifferent expression did have a sense of compassion for the world.
Mu Xiao understood the meaning behind the words. He was also good at taking advantage of others. He grabbed the necklace worn by the male insect, shook the cross on it, and said unconscionably, "Of course not. I am just an insect who believes in the insect god and hopes to be by the side of the god's messenger."
"Okay, I will protect you on behalf of the Insect God." The male insect's tone was still light. He looked at Xieloan and Pingjing's profile in confusion. They were like two completely different insects from yesterday.
A slight vibration on his wrist reminded Mu Xiao that it was time to leave. He took off the newly issued terminal from the organization and put it in his pocket, leaving it to continue vibrating in the small space. He stood up with the help of the armrest and said goodbye with a smile: "I have work to do, so I'm leaving first. See you next time, Cielo."
The wind rustled the cypress leaves, and he suddenly turned around. Cielo was squatting beside the fountain pool that was shimmering with golden light. The male insect reached out and fiddled with the lotus flowers floating on the water. It was a normal scene, but it always gave the insect a feeling of loneliness.
Mu Xiao saw Yaheng guarding the ward door from a distance. He slowly put on his phone and greeted the gloomy-faced Yaci: "What's wrong, Yaheng? Didn't I come on time?"
He was ready to be beaten up after saying this, but Yaheng glanced at him strangely, then pinched his chin as if evaluating a commodity: "I didn't realize you were quite pretty before, but I'm kindly advising you, the Third Prince is not like a normal insect. It's hard for you to hold your breath when he goes crazy."
After saying that, Yaci pushed his face away like throwing away garbage, and wiped the two fingers with paper in disgust. Mu Xiao's mouth twitched. He wasn't disgusted yet, but from Yaheng's words, he could understand why Xielo was so different yesterday and today. He had met many crazy people along the way, and this one was no exception.
A large number of doctors carrying various instruments rushed into the ward. He lay on the bed and began to stare at the ceiling to clear his mind, trying to ignore those inquiring gazes.
"By the way, the Castello family will come to the dungeon this afternoon to select guards, so don't cause trouble." Yaheng, who was leaning against the door frame and monitoring everything, suddenly spoke.
Ordinary Zerg do not have surnames. Each Zerg is born as an independent individual separated from its male and female fathers. They do not need a surname as a constraint. Having a surname means the need for inheritance, and they are generally either rich or noble.
Castello, Mu Xiao silently repeated this surname, and it always felt a little familiar, but he didn't know much about the royal family or the major families of the Zerg. Maybe he saw it from some terminal news.
"Okay." The nurse pulled out the needle inserted in the arm. According to the female insect's body recovery function, the needle hole will disappear soon. He still pressed it with cotton and said softly.
The medical staff left the ward with a tray full of blood test tubes. He covered his forehead and tremblingly grabbed the tonic from the bedside table and swallowed it. The strong dizziness was suppressed by the powerful effect of the medicine, and this dilapidated body, which was robbing Peter to pay Paul, was able to continue functioning.
"Did you come back to endure all this? Mu Xiao, I don't know your purpose, but don't try to stop a car with your bare hands, or you will be crushed to pieces." Ya Heng saw all of this. He didn't feel sorry for Mu Xiao, but simply didn't want to be implicated by the other party's stupid actions in the future.
Mu Xiao smoothed out the wrinkles on his hospital gown. The blue and white stripes were stained with a few drops of dried brown blood. He forced a smile and said, "I just wanted to come back."
The other party obviously didn't believe what he said, and turned away with a cold snort. He enjoyed the gentle laughter outside the window and thought that the room was finally quiet.
Perhaps it was the arrival of the Castro family, as not even footsteps could be heard in the corridor in the afternoon. Mu Xiao sighed that this family was really grand, as they couldn't have gone to welcome even the doctor who asked about his health.
Just as he finished thinking, he heard footsteps outside the door. As expected, as a research product in the dungeon, it still had the status it deserved. He waited for the doctor to ask as usual, but the other party just stood there like a dumb gun, not even farting.
Mu Xiao raised his head impatiently, his eyes met that terrifying face, and he clutched the quilt in panic. He looked away at a loss. Why was it Alred? Was he hallucinating because he was dying?
"Mu Xiao." The familiar voice reminded him that this was not a dream.
Alred looked at Mu Xiao, who had lost a lot of weight in just a few days of separation. His heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe. He half-knelt in front of the bed, holding the female insect's cold hand against his face. The words of blame he had prepared before coming here could not be uttered now. All he could say was heartache: "I miss you."
Mu Xiao pulled Alred to sit on the bed. He grabbed the male insect's hand and touched the flesh on his body, pretending to be happy and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Not a single piece of skin is missing."
"Liar." Alred fell into the female insect's arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, sniffing the fresh floral scent of her glands with his nose, his voice muffled as if he was about to cry.
Mu Xiao was most afraid of this move. He gently stroked the man's back, but halfway through comforting him, he suddenly realized something and asked, "How did you know I was here?"
"It was Ruowen who contacted me. He was afraid that something might happen to you in the dungeon." Alred hugged the female insect's thin waist and told the truth reluctantly.
"Oh, so you are from the Caslot family." Mu Xiao didn't know whether Ruowen was afraid that something would happen to him in the dungeon and he wouldn't be able to get the medicine, or whether he was deliberately dragging Alred into the game and wanted to get the medicine through his identity. However, he would not let Ruowen succeed in the latter possibility.
"Yeah." After saying that, he hugged her waist tighter.
Mu Xiao lifted a strand of Alred's silver hair and braided it into a small pigtail. Then, seeing the male insect's relaxed expression, he said, "Don't get involved in this, okay? I have a way to solve it, trust me."
"I don't want to see you look haggard and thin." Alred unbuttoned his hospital gown and looked at the new wounds on his body. His eyes instantly turned red.
