Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

Elvis paused for a moment, then spoke:

"My lord, have some honey cake. You didn't eat dinner tonight."

Jian Chi remained silent, glancing down at the honey cakes that Elvis was holding.

"Ivis".

He called to him, his voice as gentle as ever, but there seemed to be something else hidden in that gentleness.

"A powerful ruler?"

Jian Chi bent down slightly and extended his hand.

The breaths of the two insects mingled together, creating an extremely hazy atmosphere that made Elvis's heart tremble uncontrollably.

The darkness fueled Elvis's courage.

He gazed at those indistinct yet gentle features, and involuntarily drew closer, ever closer…

Just as the two insects were about to touch, Jian Chi spoke up and asked him:

How long have we been married?

Eight days.

"Yes, we've been married for eight years. You should be able to feel how I've treated you during these eight years, right?"

Upon hearing this, the system was stunned.

【? ? ? Host, you...】

Elvis said eight days, but how did it become eight years in Jian Chi's mouth?

Even Ives was dumbfounded, let alone the system.

When I heard "eight years," I wanted to remind him, but I felt that the powerful ruler couldn't have missed it, and even if he hadn't, he wouldn't have said "eight years."

Not right.

Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, he subconsciously replied to Jian Chi's words.

"The master has been very good to me these past few days."

It was a kind of goodness he had never dared to hope for, a kind of goodness he could never even dream of.

"I've been so good to you, why did you betray me?"

Elvis was bewildered: "Betrayal? I didn't betray the Lord..."

Jian Chi sneered.

"No betrayal? Then tell me, who sent the honey cake?"

"Sent by Carol's insects..."

"Still lying!" Jian Chi's voice was tinged with anger, and a whooshing sound came from the air.

Although Jianchi pulled hard, it still didn't cause much damage.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Tell me, who delivered the honey cake?"

Elvis was flustered and confused.

What's wrong with the powerful ruler?

"It was delivered by the Carol Py bug."

Didn't he tell the male master this morning that the male master also let him handle the other desserts himself?

What happened?

He felt a little uneasy. Could it be that something else had happened, and that these honey cakes weren't actually a gift from Carol?

But he recognized the insects that were delivered; they were the insects under Carol's command.

"You won't tell, huh? Fine, if you won't tell, I'll tell you for you! Did Kafi send you these honey cakes?"

Elvis was even more confused. Who was Kafi?

"My lord, I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know anything about Kafi..."

At this point in the explanation, Elvis suddenly realized something.

The lord's actions after he came in were too sudden.

How did things suddenly turn out like this? She feels betrayed, mentioning a strange insect he doesn't even know, and saying she's been married to him for eight years...

It's like acting.

Yes.

acting.

But why would a perfectly good ruler need to put on an act?

Then, he suddenly remembered that when he was in the army, his men would inexplicably start acting when they had nothing to do.

Could it be that the powerful ruler suddenly got bored and started acting out all of a sudden?

At this moment, Jian Chi stopped, his face full of sarcasm.

"Not familiar? That's laughable. I saw you two with my own eyes that day. Don't tell me you were performing insect respiration for him!"

"..."

It's confirmed, the powerful ruler just suddenly started acting.

He didn't know anything about Kafi, let alone insect respiration.

After thinking for a moment, Elvis tentatively replied:

"My lord, I really don't know Kafi, and I've never had any contact with any insects."

I swear to the Insect God, if I have uttered even half a lie, may I be torn to pieces by ferocious beasts and die a gruesome death!

"I see you won't admit it until you're faced with the truth. Fine, since that's how it is, I'll beat you half to death and see if you still admit it!"

Elvis had no choice but to put the cake aside for the time being.

He was very clever. When he guessed that Jian Chi was probably acting, he began to speculate on Jian Chi's intentions in acting like that.

The current situation is that no matter what he says, the powerful ruler won't believe him, and beating him half to death is even more impossible.

Oh, right, half-dead!

Elvis hesitated for a moment, then fell to the side, pretending to be seriously injured.

"The... the Lord..." he uttered weakly.

Jian Chi then snorted coldly, looking at the dying Elvis.

"Elvis, I'm giving you one last chance. Who sent the honey cake?"

Elvis closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again.

"Yes, it's Kafi, but I don't have any other feelings for him. I just consider him a friend."

After he finished speaking, he held his breath.

If his guess is correct...

"So you don't like him at all?"

Very well, he guessed correctly.

I felt a strange mix of amusement and exasperation.

The male ruler is really... strange.

"……yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Jian Chi's gentle voice.

"You should have just admitted it sooner."

"..." Who knew you, my lord, would suddenly have such a crazy idea!

Even the usually calm Elvis couldn't help but complain in his heart.

If he hadn't deduced that the male ruler was acting, he would probably still be in a state of confusion.

Not only were they confused, but they were also in pain.

At first, when he didn't realize what was happening, he was terrified when he heard the male ruler say those words.

Just as Elvis breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Jian Chi ask him:

"If you don't like him, then who do you like?"

Elvis's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and met Jian Chi's gaze.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and the surroundings were completely silent.

The cake exudes a delicate, sweet aroma, the unique sweetness of honey.

"Elvis, who do you like?"

The gentle voice asked again.

Elvis heard his own voice trembling, which he tried to control but could not suppress.

"I like... powerful rulers..."
