Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

It's called Cat's Private Kitchen, but it actually sells clothes.

No.

It can't really be called clothes, because these things can no longer be considered clothes.

In short, there are all sorts of them.

Looking at the items on the page, Jian Chi couldn't help but imagine what Elvis would look like wearing them.

Well, imagination alone is not enough.

He retrieved his smart bracelet, turned around, and reached out to knock on the door.

Elvis and Mina inside the door immediately fell silent.

Without Elvis reminding her, Mina ran back to the bathroom like a thief.

The whole process only takes a few seconds.

Seeing Mina enter the restroom, Elvis turned around and walked towards the door.

At the same time, Jian Chi pushed open the door.

"Lord Jian Chi, you...you're here again? Weren't you supposed to be downstairs eating cake?"

Jian Chi smiled and took out a cake from the spatial folding device.

"Of course I thought you were still in your room and might not get the best piece of cake, so I brought it to you. Here, have a taste."

Hearing his words, Elvis was momentarily dazed.

He remembered that best honey cake.

That was a taste he could never forget in his life.

And now, the powerful ruler has even personally delivered a cake to him.

A lump formed in Elvis's throat.

"Thank you," he said softly, reaching out to take the cake.

Jian Chi pulled back slightly, his index finger inadvertently touching the cream on the cake.

"Tsk, how could you be so careless?"

Even though Elvis hadn't touched him and it had nothing to do with him, Jian Chi still blamed Elvis with a straight face.

As for Elvis, even though he knew it had nothing to do with him, he still went along with Jian Chi's words.

He looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Xiong Jianchi."

"Fine, I'll let it slide since you didn't do it on purpose. But what should I do about the cream on my hands?"

Jian Chi gazed at Elvis, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said meaningfully:

"This is natural food; wasting it is shameful, do you understand what I mean?"

Elvis, who was holding a piece of paper and about to wipe it off for Jian Chi, instantly understood, and the temperature on his cheeks rose again.

He blushed and gave a soft "hmm".

He clenched the paper slightly, crumpling it into a mess, and leaned closer.

A minute later, Jian Chi's hands were free of cream, and the crumpled paper fell to the ground.

Jian Chi then smiled and handed the cake back to Elvis.

"Here, try it and see if it's good."

Mina, who was peeking through a crack in the bathroom door, was speechless again.

Just now, Elvis described Lord Jian Chi as so helpless and upright, and he thought that Lord Jian Chi was really just making a helpless compromise.

However, when he saw the undisguised pleasure in Lord Jian Chi's eyes, his lips twitched.

They're a match made in heaven, let's lock them together, he swallowed the key.

He quietly closed the bathroom door, a smirk playing on his lips.

At that moment, he was genuinely happy for his only friend.

Elvis, my friend, I wish you well...

As she laughed, Mina's smile faded, and she fell into a daze.

His life will probably be worse than death from now on.

Although Lord Danren's ridicule and humiliation have nothing to do with him, Danren will not care.

He dared not do anything to Lord Jian Chi, so he naturally vented his anger on him.

And with what Elvis did, if those insects find out, it probably won't be long before Lord Danren finds out too.

Thinking of this, Mina irritably rubbed her soft, light purple hair.

Forget it.

I'd better not tell Elvis, since he's quite pleased to see Danren get his comeuppance.

Moreover, Elvis may now be favored by Lord Jian Chi. If you ask Elvis for help, he will definitely help.

But what if Lord Jianchi thinks that he is subtly complaining about him?

He didn't care; he was just a worthless life. But he didn't want Elvis to be disliked by Lord Jian Chi because of it.

So be it.

In the room, after Elvis finished his cake, Jian Chi asked him, "Was it good?"

Elvis nodded.

"It's delicious, very sweet."

"Hmm, sweet things do make insects feel better. Now that we've finished eating, let's go back."

Elvis was taken aback: "Go back? Go back where?"

"Of course I'm going home, Elvis. Do you really want to stay here forever?" Jian Chi raised an eyebrow.

Just now, the system notified him that the remaining two scenarios were also completed.

It's likely that Danlen found out about his relationship with "Mina".

Now that the scenario has been completed, there is no need to stay any longer.

Upon hearing Jian Chi address him by his name, Elvis quickly realized that the lord's mission must have been completed.

So did he help the powerful ruler?

That's good.

"Okay, but wait a moment, let me change my clothes first."

After all, he was "Mitchell" before he came.

"No need, just remove it directly."

Iveston paused for a moment, then answered without the slightest hesitation.

The clothes on her body hadn't changed, but her hair and appearance were now completely her own.

"My lord, shall we go?"

"Okay, go and talk to Austin first."

Thinking of Mina in the bathroom, Elvis hesitated for a moment, but still obediently agreed.

After Elvis left, Jian Chi took out the remaining cake from the spatial folding device, stayed in the room for a while, and then left.

After a long while, the toilet door quietly opened.

Mina carefully looked left and right, and breathed a sigh of relief when she made sure there were no more insects in the room.

They finally left; otherwise, they would have gone berserk!

He walked to the sofa, sat down, and was about to turn on his smart bracelet, wondering how to contact Lord Danlun, when he suddenly noticed a cake on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

There seemed to be a piece of paper under the cake.

He paused for a moment, then reached under the cake and pulled out the paper.

The paper reads: "Xingxing said the cake is delicious. As a friend he cares about, you should try it too. Also, since you're Xingxing's friend, don't be a fool and go to the trouble of finding something so far away."

Mina stared blankly at the words on the note.

He was in the bathroom, so he naturally knew that Jian Chi had sent Elvis away, but he didn't know what Jian Chi was doing in the room, and there was no sound from him.

Now he realized that this was what he was writing.

Of course, he wouldn't misunderstand the phrase "abandoning what is near for what is far" as having any other meaning.

What Lord Jianchi said earlier was to show how important Elvis was to him.

The following sentence was to tell him that since he was Elvis's friend, there was no need for him to compromise himself by marrying Danren, whom he didn't like, just for some resources and a voice.

He could have easily gained even more benefits by using the title of Lady Jianchi's female friend.

This is another layer of metaphor behind Lord Jianchi leaving the cake for him.

Mina gripped the paper tightly, her knuckles turning white, but she grinned.

"Hahahaha, great! I, Mina, have finally waited for this day! Lord Jian Chi, from this day forward, I will be your and Elvis's most loyal follower!"

After laughing, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. This was the first time he had shed tears that weren't because of pain.

Mina picked up the cake and began to eat it bite by bite.

Yeah, it really is... very sweet.

As expected, Lord Jian Chi was right; cake can indeed improve a worm's mood!

the other side.

Jane and Elvis left the banquet under Austin's reluctant gaze.

Austin didn't look away until Jane and Elvis were out of sight.

I heard hushed conversations behind me.

"Didn't the forum say that Lord Jian Chi only liked General Elvis? How come he changed three different people at just one banquet?"

"Who knew you'd believe what you read on the forum?"

Austin's smile vanished instantly as he looked at the gossiping insects.

"I've recorded what you just said. Those who gossiped about Lord Jian Chi, you can expect to be in the Male Insect Protection Association! Hmph!"
