Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

"Your Excellency Jian Chi, it's time to cut the cake, uh..."

Austin choked up halfway through his sentence.

On a sofa not far away, there was a creature with its back to them. Judging from its clothes, it was undoubtedly Lord Jian Chi.

In front of Lord Jianchi, who had his back to them, was another insect.

You can't see its face, you can only see that the insect is sitting on the sofa, its head slightly tilted back, revealing its light purple hair.

Although there are many insects with light purple hair, only two of them have light purple hair and are attending the banquet today.

One of the male insects was with Austin at that moment.

The other one is Mina.

Almost all the insects thought that the insect with the light purple hair was Mina.

But didn't Lord Jianchi say he wasn't interested in Mina?

Or perhaps this isn't actually Mina, but some other female insect...

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he saw Jian Chi turn his head, revealing his profile, which also revealed half of the female insect's face sitting on the sofa.

That delicate face with its rosy cheeks was undoubtedly Mina's.

This time, no insect dared to question it anymore.

Austin was the first to recover, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Lord Jian Chi, I was too impulsive. Please continue with your work..."

After saying that, he quickly closed the door.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Lord Jian Chi is really something. Why doesn't he lock the door properly? If he pushes the door open when things get a little more intimate, not to mention the awkwardness, he's afraid Lord Jian Chi will kill him!

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!

The thought only lasted a moment; Austin coughed and turned around.

"Lord Jian Chi has other important matters to attend to, let's... wait for him."

I was going to say that we should cut the cake first, but I swallowed the words back down.

If he can get on the good side with Lord Jian Chi at this banquet, what does it matter if he waits a little longer?

The other insects shared the same thought and readily agreed with a laugh.

"Yes, yes, that's what I think too. Actually, it's a bit early to cut the cake now."

"Yeah, we can play a little longer before cutting the cake."

So the insects all turned and left.

There was only one thought in my mind: Surely Lord Jian Chi wouldn't stay away all night?

Before I had taken more than a few steps, the door behind me opened.

The insects turned around and were stunned to see Jian Chi, who was already dressed in full clothes.

So fast?

Jian Chi smiled slightly: "I thought about it. Today is Austin's birthday. I would feel bad making him wait for me to cut the cake, so I'll cut the cake first."

Hearing this, Austin was somewhat moved.

He is a Grade A male insect, pampered since childhood, and is already very familiar with and comfortable with the attitude of other insects yielding to him.

But this is Lord Jian Chi!

With his 3S+ mental strength, even when facing Steven's three male insects, he didn't give them a friendly look, but he was willing to put aside important matters so as not to delay Steven's auspicious time for cutting the cake.

Austin, who had initially befriended Jane Chi simply because of her father's advice, made a decision at this moment.

He's determined to be friends with Lord Jian Chi!

The insects thronged around Jian Chi as he went downstairs, and none of them bothered to ask the female insects in the room.

After arriving at the huge cake and wishing Austin a happy birthday, Youchong handed Austin a knife to cut the cake.

It's usually the person celebrating their birthday who makes the first cut.

Austin smiled and handed the knife to Jian Chi, showing no reluctance whatsoever; on the contrary, his tone was affectionate.

"Jian Chi, you make the first cut."

Upon hearing this, Jian Chi did not refuse. He took the knife and, with a swift motion, cut three pieces.

One of them was given to Austin, while he carried the other two back upstairs.

Other insects, seeing this, naturally wouldn't be so blind as to follow suit.

Those who knew the inside story secretly glanced in Danren's direction, their eyes filled with schadenfreude.

Upstairs, in room 2033.

A while after Jian Chi left, Mina came out of the bathroom with a blank expression and chuckled.

"So you made me hide in the bathroom just so I could listen to you guys trying to appease me? Elvis, how come I never knew you were playing such elaborate and exciting games before?"

"..."

Elvis coughed awkwardly, but he didn't explain.

He wouldn't tell Mina the real reason, because it would be too troublesome to explain, and there was no need to.

Before he could reply, Mina suddenly said, "Wait, could it be that it's not you who likes it, but Lord Jian Chi? I remember last time you came to me asking me to teach you acting, didn't you...?"

Upon hearing this, Elvis frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Even if it was indeed the male ruler who implied it, the male ruler seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

But he felt that it was more likely because of the task that had to be completed.

"Mina, don't overthink it, it has nothing to do with the male lord."

"It's okay?" Mina asked incredulously. "Then why did you do this?"

God knows how much he doubted insect life when he overheard the two insects talking in the toilet.

He was quite shocked and puzzled when Elvis, dressed as Mitchell, came to him and asked him to dress up as him.

I asked, but Elvis wouldn't say.

Out of friendship, Mina agreed.

I thought Elvis had some kind of plan.

So when Elvis told him to hide in the toilet, he didn't hesitate.

Who knows?

He actually overheard such a provocative conversation!

No, dressing up as him, how did it turn into a "forced" scene?!

Elvis has never acted like this before, so it must be Lord Jian Chi.

"It's me," Elvis suddenly said. "I like to dress up as other insects and be with the male. Although the male doesn't quite accept it, he respects me and is even willing to cooperate with me."

Mina looked horrified.

"Are you serious?"

"Um."

"No, when did you develop this preference? Elvis, your lord isn't here right now, tell me the truth, and I won't tell the other insects. What's the reason?"

Mina still didn't believe it.

He'd known Elvis for so long; how could he not know what kind of worm Elvis was?

He absolutely did not believe it.

Elvis could see Mina's disbelief and knew that if he couldn't provide any proof, Mina would definitely misunderstand the ruler.

He didn't want his friends to have a bad opinion of the male ruler.

But he doesn't seem to have any evidence...

Suddenly, five large characters appeared in my mind—

"Cat's Private Kitchen"

Elvis pursed his lips, his cheeks gradually warming up, and his fingertips trembling slightly.

He took a deep breath and said, "I'll show you something."

Then, he turned on his smart bracelet and, under Mina's watchful gaze, entered the StarNet store, his own homepage, and showed Mina the items he had ordered.

Mina first noticed the shop's name and muttered, "What's this 'Cat's Private Kitchen'? Does it sell vegetables?"

Upon seeing the item's appearance and description, he was immediately shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief; his mouth was so big it could fit an insect egg.

After a long while, Mina finally came to her senses and finally believed Elvis's words.

"By the God of Insects, Elvis, I never knew you could be so... so..."

He couldn't bring himself to say the last word.

Elvis blushed deeply and looked quite embarrassed.

"Don't tell the other insects."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell any other insects. Oh, by the way, does Lord Jian Chi know about this?"

"...I don't know yet."

Outside the room, next to the half-open door, Jian Chi stood with his back against the wall.

At this moment, he was opening his smart bracelet and looking at the item page of "Cat's Private Kitchen".
