Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

Ten minutes later.

The golden worm-like markings on Elvis's face faded.

After changing into the clothes Jian Chi had brought, she stood there somewhat awkwardly.

Although his mind was very sluggish when his mental energy surged, he remembered everything that had just happened.

"My lord, I'm so sorry, I almost hurt you just now."

Jian Chi raised his eyebrows.

Ordinary insects would be unable to control themselves, but Elvis not only suppressed his instincts but also apologized to him afterwards.

This is so excessively restrained that it borders on self-discipline and adherence to ritual.

It's hard to imagine what kind of environment Elvis grew up in.

He couldn't even imagine what Elvis would be like when he was enraged.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Jian Chi said gently, "So, do you know what to do first in the future?"

Elvis paused for a moment, then quickly realized that the male ruler had actually noticed signs of mental turmoil an hour earlier, but had not brought it up.

Seeing his reaction, Jian Chi knew that Elvis had realized what was happening.

He originally thought the other party would immediately acknowledge it and promise to do so right away next time.

Unexpectedly, Elvis paused for a moment, then said in a low and slow voice:

"I know, thank you for your understanding, but this is fine as it is."

He was already used to this rule, and it was deeply ingrained in him.

He was always obedient to Jian Chi without any limits.

This was the first time Jian Chi had expressed an opposing opinion, which left him momentarily stunned.

Jian Chi frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "You..."

The latter clenched his fists, his body stiffened, but he said nothing, waiting quietly as always.

However, in the end, Jian Chi shook his head and did not ask.

This feeling is very bad.

He actually began to feel curious about Elvis's past and wanted to know more about it.

It was just a simple crush; it shouldn't have gone this far.

"It's alright, get some rest."

Because Elvis's mental energy becomes increasingly volatile over time, he needs to stay by her side even when resting.

Perhaps because so much had happened in the past two days, after arranging a place for Hani to stay and taking Elvis into the room, Jian Chi fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

He was sleeping very soundly.

In his daze, he heard soft meows.

Jian Chi subconsciously reached out and rubbed the cat's head, soothingly saying, "Lanlan, be good, don't disturb my sleep."

Then the low meowing stopped.

In her hazy state, Jian Chi was still thinking about why the kitten was being so well-behaved today.

After all, ever since he started raising the kitten, it has been incredibly energetic, mischievous day and night.

If you lock it outside the room, it will keep scratching at the door, but if you leave it open, it will run around the room like crazy.

Otherwise, it will jump onto his face and meow incessantly, disturbing his peace.

The cat seemed unusually clingy today; even when told to behave, it kept rubbing its paws against his face...

However, they did not say anything more.

That's a good idea. I'll reward you with a cat treat tomorrow.

He thought about it and then drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, as if suddenly remembering something, I abruptly opened my eyes.

Then they saw Elvis lying unconscious on the ground not far away.

[Host, you're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, Elvis would have turned into an insect!]

Jian Chi looked at Elvis with some curiosity.

"Why didn't the insects transform overnight?"

【…】

【What? 】

He kept pressing his tentacles against your face; otherwise, he would have turned into an insect long ago.

It turned out to be the case.

Elvis is barely conscious anymore.

It's probably because that would completely fail to achieve the goal of appeasement as the second priority.

Jian Chi walked over.

Ten minutes later.

"Didn't I tell you before I went to sleep that if I didn't wake up, you should shake me awake? Why are you so disobedient?"

"You said last night that I didn't want to disturb your sleep."

Jian Chi was taken aback.

Did he say that?

Then he remembered the meowing he vaguely heard last night, which he initially thought was his white cat with blue eyes.

He named the cat Lanlan.

Thinking of the hazy consciousness she had before falling asleep last night, Jian Chi smiled slightly.

"Elvis, meow again."

Elvis was confused, but he still obediently meowed.

"come over."

Fifteen minutes later, Jian Chi released Elvis, whose cheeks were flushed, and chuckled, "This is a cat treat as a reward for you."

Elvis looked bewildered.

What cat treats?

For some reason, he remembered the male master's doting head pat last night and his gentle calling of Lanlan.

Who is Lanlan...?

He wanted to ask, but he knew he had no right to ask, so he remained silent.

The two insects went downstairs.

"Brother Chi, General Elvis, good morning." Hani was sitting at the dining table, yawning.

He didn't sleep well last night.

After Watson's party, he was practically inseparable from Carroll from morning till night.

Logically, it shouldn't have been long, but for some reason, he got used to it.

So last night when I was sleeping alone, I didn't sleep very well.

Jian Chi sat down.

"Good morning, Honey, why didn't you eat breakfast?"

"I just woke up too, and I don't have much of an appetite."

He hesitated mainly because he saw the food on the table.

He knew what the food in the Zerg world tasted like; it always had a strange, foul smell and was extremely unpalatable.

Even though the honey water Xiaola made last night was delicious, he still didn't dare to eat it.

In addition, I wasn't fully awake in the morning and had no appetite, so even though I was sitting at the table, I didn't touch my chopsticks.

Jian Chi smiled.

"Then let's eat something light first."

After saying that, he casually picked up a piece of food.

Well, although the taste was just so-so, at least it didn't have that stinky smell. Elvis can't cook because he's blind.

Besides, it's inconvenient with Hani around.

Seeing that Jian Chi was eating calmly, Hani hesitated for a moment.

He then gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.

Forget it, Brother Chi is so good to him, I'll just have to accompany him even if it means risking my life!

"Awoo~"

After taking one bite, Hani opened his eyes in shock.

Surprisingly, it didn't have that stinky smell. Although the taste was still just average, it was still edible!

Moreover, for him, without that stinky smell, it was already a delicacy.

God knows how much he felt like throwing up from drinking nutrient solution every day. No matter how much it tasted, it was still nutrient solution. He had the stomach of Earth!

Hani immediately abandoned all pretense of decorum and began to devour the food.

I was so moved while eating that I couldn't stop crying.

"Awoooooo..."

Seeing him like this, Jian Chi was quite helpless: "Honey, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing, it's just that this dish is so delicious, I'm so touched!"

Jian Chi: "..."

Curly-haired teddy bears are really easy to care for.

After Elvis developed this seasoning, he had Xiao La record it down and deleted the previous seasoning that had a pungent smell.

So today, Little La cooked, and it didn't make smelly food like before.

However, this only applies to things that are edible.

The taste is similar to the previous times I made it.

I never expected that Hani could cry from eating.

Jian Chi was both amused and exasperated: "Fine, if it's delicious, then eat more."

"Uh-huh."

After finishing the meal, Hani's belly was round and full. He rubbed his stomach contentedly and burped.

"It's so delicious, Brother Chi! Why don't you sell me your little La? I'm willing to pay ten times the price!"

Not only does the food not smell bad, but the honey water it makes is also very delicious.

He was really tempted!

Jian Chi sighed helplessly, "If you think it's delicious, when you get back, just have Xiao La copy the recipe and honey water to your terminal."

It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with Xiao La; it was just that he had adjusted all of Xiao La's parameters over the past few days.

If we buy a new one, we'll have to re-test it, which is a hassle.

"Wow, really? That's great! Thank you, Brother Chi!" Honey smiled happily, her eyes crinkling.

At this moment, the smart bracelet notified Jian Chi that there was a message.

Jian Chi turned on his smart bracelet and looked at the video feed from the surveillance cameras outside the villa.

In the video, a female soldier in military uniform stands outside the villa.

The female soldier's face looked somewhat familiar; it seemed like I had seen her once before in Tania Square.

The female soldier looked at the surveillance camera.

"Lord Jianchi, my name is Pavley, and I've come to deliver a pulse ring to General Elvis."

Oh right, the pulse ring, I promised the marshal before.

So Jian Chi didn't let Xiao La go and get it, but instead went out of the villa himself and opened the outer gate of the villa.

Pavley bowed to him.

Good morning, Your Excellency Jianchi.

Then he took out a square black box.

"This is a top-of-the-line pulse ring."

Jian Chi nodded, reached out and took it, and said gently, "Thank you for your trouble, Major General Pavley."

Pavley was taken aback.

"How did you know I was a major general, Mr. Jian Chi?"

"The major general is wearing a military uniform."

Wearing a military uniform naturally comes with badges representing military rank.

But this explanation shocked Pavly.

Without him.

Most men would never pay attention to these things, let alone be able to tell military ranks at a glance.

For them, only generals could get their attention; all they remembered were their appearances.

But when this happened to the person in front of him, he felt it was normal.

Perhaps Jian Chi's attitude was too gentle, or perhaps it was something else.

Pavley, shocked, paused for a moment, and whispered a reminder:

"Lord Jian Chi, please be careful. Many parties are currently watching you and Admiral Elvis."

Jian Chi is a male prince, and ordinary insects dare not do anything to him.

But the powerful and influential insectoids of the Zerg Empire dared to.

If it's an A-level entity, or if it has some noble backing, they might be hesitant to act rashly.

After all, Jian Chi is currently only a B-rank, and has no background whatsoever; at most, he has a female general.

This female ruler's mental strength has also dropped to A level, so the threat she can pose is now very small.

Jian Chi wasn't stupid, so he naturally understood Pavley's implied meaning.

He stopped smiling and said solemnly, "Thank you for the reminder, Major General Pavley."

"It's alright. Now that the pulse ring has been delivered, I'll go back and report to the Marshal."

Turning around, Pavley shook his head.

He didn't know why he suddenly reminded Lord Jian Chi, since the turbulent events between the giant insects were not something he could interfere with.

Well, I've already said it, and the hint was quite subtle, so it should be fine.

I heard that this gentleman is about to enter his second evolutionary stage.

If it could evolve into a second-level A-grade, it would deter even the largest insects from acting openly.

However, very few insects can enhance their mental power through secondary evolution.

Sigh, why would such a thing happen to someone as good as you?

Jian Chi walked into the living room with the pulse ring and saw Hani sitting on the sofa playing with the smart bracelet. He didn't know what Hani saw, but a bug was cawing there.

Elvis sat quietly to the side with his eyes closed and his hands on his knees.

That obedient appearance reminded Jian Chi of Elvis's meow last night, which sounded like he was submitting an application.

I have a feeling that he has a kitten in the Zerg world too.

Or perhaps it was just like he imagined, a well-behaved and adorable kitten.

Even though it was just a glance, and Elvis didn't actually do anything this time, Jian Chi still felt his heart skip a beat.

Elvis, who was being watched, did not notice at first.

He kept replaying the male master's doting head pat and gentle, helpless voice from last night, as if torturing himself.

Blue, blue, blue...

The obsessive voice echoed in my mind.

Then he heard a sound.

"Lanlan, come here."
