Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

Elvis was still confused and didn't understand.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

It wasn't until Jian Chi handed the cake to him again that he realized what was happening, followed by disbelief.

"For me?"

Jian Chi hummed in agreement and looked at Elvis with a smile:

"I noticed you really like honey flavor, so I thought you'd like this honey cake too. I saved a piece for you, would you like to try it?"

He spoke so casually, yet Elvis was utterly shocked.

So, the piece of cake that the male insect master risked offending an S-class male insect and a double S-class female insect to keep wasn't something he particularly liked, but rather something he wanted to give to the other insects to try.

Is it really that important to let him try it?

A strange emotion welled up in his chest, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

She looked up at Jian Chi, who was smiling, and opened her mouth, wanting to ask him why he was being so good to her.

But in the end, he didn't ask anything, silently accepted the honey cake, and took a bite.

"How does it taste? Do you like it?"

"It's very sweet, I like it."

It was the best and sweetest food he had ever eaten since he was born.

He thought he would probably never forget the sweetness of this moment for the rest of his life.

While Elvis was eating cake, Jian Chi finally had a moment to calm the system in his mind, which was on the verge of collapse.

[Oh no! It's completely different from the original plot! The story has completely deviated from the original!]

Don't panic.

Jian Chi patiently inquired about the system:

"I ask you, what is your most important goal in inviting me to this banquet?"

Perhaps it was Jian Chi's stable emotions and gentle, unhurried tone that helped the system finally stabilize and stop screaming.

Complete the three scenarios.

Of these three scenarios, which is the most important?

[Of course, it's the last one.]

[So what are you worried about? The third scenario hasn't even happened yet, the plot is still developing, and it hasn't deviated from its expected direction, has it?]

Upon hearing this, the system immediately felt aggrieved.

【How could it not have gone astray! The first scenario is about you trying to please your honey…】

Did I not try to please them?

The system choked up as soon as the words were spoken.

Was there no attempt to please?

He pleased her.

It's just that they flattered her too much.

But can we blame Jian Chi for this?

No.

After all, Jian Chi was just honestly following the system's instructions to please Hani, and he didn't know things would develop to this point.

Whose fault is that?

It seems like no one can be blamed.

So, does this mean I've already completed the first act?

Right...?

[Honey, don't worry, I'll definitely achieve the most important goal, and I'll also be able to handle all three scenarios, so please be patient, okay?]

The system realized that Jian Chi had been actively completing tasks from the beginning, and had done them very well.

Although there are some oddities, the main storyline has not deviated from its intended course so far.

"Okay, okay... I was too hasty, I'm sorry..." it apologized softly.

Jian Chi smiled broadly.

It's okay, I know you're just too worried about the plot going off-track.

What an easy little system to fool!

The honey cake was a small piece, and even though Elvis ate very slowly, he finished it quickly.

That unfamiliar feeling lingered in my heart, refusing to subside.

This made him afraid to look at Jian Chi, fearing it would reveal his emotions, yet he couldn't help but want to look.

So, after shifting his gaze several times, he finally focused on Jian Chi's hands.

He noticed that his master's hands were very beautiful, much more beautiful than his own. His master's hands were calloused and somewhat dry from years of piloting mechs.

However, the hands of the male ruler were clearly those of someone who had lived a life of luxury, and were very soft.

I want to touch it just by looking at it.

He thought to himself, lost in thought, "The king's hands must feel so soft."

She immediately realized what she was thinking, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly looked away, her cheeks feeling hot.

However, Jian Chi's next words made his cheeks instantly turn red.

"Elvis, thank you for defending me earlier. You looked really cool when you defended me, I really liked it."

"Thump thump..." A loud and rapid heartbeat rang in his ears.

In a daze, those words kept echoing in my ears.

He even forgot to respond, and by the time he came to his senses, Jian Chi was already gone.

Elvis felt a little annoyed, but he couldn't help but think of what he had just said.

She pursed her lips, but ultimately couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips, her eyes brimming with a joy as if ice and snow were melting.

On the other hand, after leaving Elvis, Jian Chi had a clear goal and headed straight for Carol.

Carol sat there alone, watching Hani being fawned over by a swarm of insects in the distance, a smile playing on her lips, clearly in a good mood.

Tsk.

As expected of a cunning fox, it managed to coax the curly-haired bear in no time.

The curly-haired teddy bear was also completely outmaneuvered.

They're really disappointing.

It seems only he can handle this.

Even if it doesn't cause any harm, it's nothing to feel disgusted or nauseous; he hasn't even vented his anger yet.

This perfectly completes the scene of the second act.

Jian Chi walked over, blocking Carol's gaze from Hani, and said with a smile:

"Admiral Carroll, you don't mind me sitting here, do you?"

Elvis's adjutant, who had been secretly following Jian Chi from a distance, saw this scene and immediately requested a video call from Elvis.

Seeing Jian Chi approach, Carol cursed inwardly, but nodded with a smile.

"Please have a seat, Your Excellency Jianchi."

Jian Chi sat down, an apologetic look on his face.

"I seem to have caused a misunderstanding between Admiral Carroll and Honey just now. I am truly sorry, Admiral Carroll. I express my sincerest apologies and hope that you can forgive me."

He looked extremely sincere and genuine, without a trace of sarcasm, as if he had truly come to apologize.

But Carroll didn't believe it.

Even though Jian Chi seemed very gentle, he had a feeling that the other person was definitely more honest than he appeared.

She maintained an elegant smile on her face.

"Of course I know, Lord Jian Chi, this is not your fault, how could I blame you?"

Jian Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good."

Then, as if remembering something, he slapped his thigh:

"Oh, by the way, when I was chatting with Honey earlier, he confided in me about something that's related to you, Admiral Carol. I don't know if I should tell you."

Carol's attention was instantly drawn to Hani.

"Please speak, Your Excellency Jianchi."

distressed?

What troubles does his little male master have that are related to him?

Could it be...?

The thought of that possibility made Carol uneasy, and she stared intently at Jian Chi.

Unexpectedly, Jian Chi hesitated and looked around, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

When Carol finally lost her patience, he let out a soft "Huh?"

Then, before Carol could react, he touched Carol's blonde hair.

"I find your blond hair very beautiful, Admiral Carroll."
