Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

Two hours ago.

Jian Chi led Leorio upstairs and opened the door to the room next to his.

The room was quite simple, with only a bed, an empty wardrobe, a table, and chairs.

That's all.

Once inside the room, Leorio was filled with trepidation, hesitant to speak.

Jian Chi stopped by the bed, turned around and sat down, then looked at Leorio with a gentle tone.

"Don't be nervous, just try it out first."

Leorio became even more nervous upon hearing this.

He knew that even if something happened between him and Lord Jian Chi, the general wouldn't kill him.

But the swarm of insects from the three armies wouldn't let him off easily.

For him, trying it would mean certain death.

He couldn't refuse because there were so many insects watching, but now that it's just him and Lord Jian Chi, he has to refuse no matter what.

"Your Excellency Jian Chi, I..."

He had barely begun speaking when Jian Chi interrupted him.

"However, I need you to tell me how you felt after you tried it."

Leorio: "?"

No, do you really expect him to express his feelings about something like this?!

Isn't this a bit too fancy?

He looked at the gentle face sitting by the bed and felt inexplicably afraid, swallowing hard.

I always felt that if he refused, something would happen that he would regret for the rest of his life.

"Lord Jianchi..."

"Um?"

"Don't worry, I promise I'll explain all my feelings in detail later!"

General Elvis, and my brothers in the army, I'm so sorry!

Come here.

Upon hearing this, Leorio walked over hesitantly.

He saw Lord Jianchi extend his hand and say to him, "Squat down."

Squat down?

Leorio didn't understand, but he still obediently squatted down.

Then, he saw Lord Jianchi extend his hand to him.

"Leorio, don't resist..."

Those well-defined, pampered hands drew closer and closer to him.

Swallowing hard, Leorio abruptly closed his eyes, his face flushed crimson with excitement.

Having grown up so much, he had never had any intimate contact with you before. Little did he expect that this contact would be with the 3S+ male prince!

Father, I've made something of myself!

The next moment, he felt the surrounding noise suddenly fade away, leaving an eerily quiet silence.

It's like I've gone deaf.

He also felt that his body seemed to be undergoing some changes.

He opened his eyes and his pupils contracted.

The room before them was no longer the one they had entered with Lord Jian Chi; instead, there was only endless darkness.

His body, or rather his spirit, actually transformed into his insect-like form!

What happened?

Leorio felt inexplicably flustered.

Just then, footsteps sounded. They weren't loud, but in the absolute silence of the darkness, they were especially noticeable.

Then, Leorio saw the insect making footsteps.

Jian Chi approached Leorio and extended his hand to him.

A faint light gathered in the palm of his hand.

This time, he intentionally controlled the light, making it only the size of his palm, unlike before when it enveloped his entire body.

Therefore, this period of time is exceptionally long.

At first, Leorio was a little flustered. After all, in the blink of an eye, he was in an unfamiliar environment, and his mental energy had even manifested his insect form.

I wonder what Lord Jian Chi intends to do to him.

However, when a faint light condensed in Jian Chi's hand, he was stunned.

The faint light in his palm had a fatal attraction for him, making him unconsciously want to get closer.

As the soft light fell upon him, he felt all the pain in his body gradually subside.

Especially those with turbulent mental energy; once their mental energy begins to riot, their minds will be in a very painful state, often suffering from headaches.

The pain intensifies as the illness progresses.

But now, under the gentle caress of the soft light, his headache was gradually subsiding!

It felt like I was soaking in a medical pod, it was very comfortable.

No, it's a million times more comfortable than being in a medical pod.

It was so warm and cozy that he just wanted to stay there forever.

After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding darkness faded, and he returned to the room he had been in.

Leorio, having already been calmed down, knelt down.

Leorio was stunned.

Lord Jian Chi's gentle question brought him back to his senses:

"Leorio, the surge of your mental energy should have completely subsided by now, right?"

"Lord Jianchi!" Leorio exclaimed excitedly, "It's gone, completely gone!!"

Now he finally understood what Lord Jian Chi had done to him.

Just like that video he watched on the StarNet forum back then, just like Hunter, whom he had admired countless times!

His mental energy had already reached a late stage, and even without using his mental energy, he was still living in pain.

And this suffering will continue until his death.

Once the mental energy surge enters its later stages, life is nearing its end.

He even felt a crazy urge to return to the army and contribute his own strength to the empire before he died from a mental breakdown.

Finally, he perished together with the ferocious beast.

For these female soldiers, this was the ultimate form of romance.

He had already applied to return to the armed forces and was prepared to die in battle. I don't know why he was selected by the Male Insect Protection Association this time.

Leorio was so excited he didn't know what to say. He had only one thought in his mind: to give his life and loyalty, just like Hunter had done before!

"That's fine. Now tell me how you felt from beginning to end."

Upon hearing this, Leorio, who originally wanted to swear allegiance, had no choice but to temporarily suppress his excitement and tell Jian Chi how he felt.

After he finished speaking, he immediately prepared to take an oath.

Jian Chi spoke again: "I understand. Now that your mental strength has recovered, go out first and let Joseph come up."

He paused, then added, "Also, don't tell any of the insects about what happened in this room, okay?"

Leorio said, "Of course I can," and quickly assured everyone that he wouldn't tell any of the bugs.

He knew, of course, that if Lord Jian Chi’s ability were revealed, it would drive all the Zerg mad.

Afterwards, Leorio left in a daze, seemingly unaware of Jianchi's gentle attitude.

God of Insects above! He must have saved an entire galaxy of insects in his past life to encounter such a wonderful thing!

The system watched Leorio leave, filled with curiosity.

[Host, he seems to be pledging allegiance to you like Hunter did, right? Why didn't you make him swear an oath?]

This time, Jian Chi explained quickly.

[There's no need. Leorio is an insect of the entire army. Besides, if every insect did this, it would be a huge waste of time.]

In other words, given Leorio's current status and position, he doesn't think much of him.

Okay, but why is the host doing this?

Having been bound to its host for so long, it has some understanding of it.

The host doesn't seem like the kind of insect that would inexplicably show kindness.

So there must be some other reason!
