Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

Chapter 8 Do you like kneeling?

Upon hearing this, Elvis instinctively looked up, only to find his master staring at him without blinking.

There seemed to be a hint of excitement in his eyes?

Elvis lowered his head in a panic again and continued unpacking the package.

This time, he didn't say anything, and Jian Chi didn't say anything to him either.

They silently unpacked the package and set the contents aside.

The nanny robot bug happily entered the room and began tidying up.

"Trash should stay in the trash can!"

After the babysitter robot finished cleaning, Elvis stood up as well.

"My lord, I've gone to make lunch. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Jian Chi raised an eyebrow: "If I want to eat it, can you make it for me?"

"...I will try my best."

"Okay, I'd like to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

"What?"

Elvis didn't hear clearly at first, but Jian Chi shook his head and didn't repeat it.

"Do whatever you like."

How could there possibly be scrambled eggs with tomatoes in this world?

It was just something he subconsciously thought of when Elvis asked him.

In his previous life, when his grandmother was still alive, he ate scrambled eggs with tomatoes almost every day, and he got sick of it.

After his grandmother passed away, he longed to eat it again, but he could no longer taste it.

When I came to my senses, Elvis had already left.

Jian Chi sorted the large pile of things into categories and put them into the walk-in closet, then hung the fishtail skirt on the wall next to it.

On the left side of the wall next to the head of the bed, there was a wall full of tools, while on the right side hung a shimmering fishtail skirt, creating a strong contrast.

Arriving at the wall filled with tools, Jian Chi pondered for a moment, then took a few and placed them on the table.

Then they called in the nanny robot bug.

"Lord Jianchi, what are your orders?"

"Xiao La, take all the tools off the wall and throw them away."

The name "Xiao La" was just something Jian Chi called out randomly.

Anyway, what Xiao La likes most is sweeping up trash, and her voice seems to rise a lot every time she sweeps up trash.

So he just randomly picked a small one.

"Yes, Your Excellency Jian Chi."

The nanny robot bug, Xiao La, started taking these things and stuffing them into the trash can she was carrying on her back.

While sweeping, he cheerfully said, "Trash should stay in the trash can!"

Jian Chi watched with a smile.

Of all the tools on the wall, only a few were actually useful to him.

These things are so anti-human and have absolutely no aesthetic appeal.

Therefore, these things that he can't use are just garbage.

Trash should stay in the trash can.

Soon, Xiao La tidied up all the tools on one wall, and then, as Jian Chi instructed, hung the fishtail skirt on the same wall.

In addition, there were a few usable tools left behind by him, such as the mane and tail whip.

Looking at the empty walls with only a few items on them, Jian Chi felt comfortable.

After resting for a short while, Elvis came to call him for dinner.

Jian Chi went downstairs, looked at the dining table, and froze again.

The dining table wasn't large; it was round, and there was a round plate on top of it.

It's somewhat similar to the dining table in my previous life where you could turn the dishes.

The difference is that this one looks more refined, and the rotating plate doesn't require manual turning.

It can rotate on its own, and it will automatically stop when it senses when you are picking vegetables.

Now, right in the center of the round plate on the dining table, there is a dish of food.

This dish is strange; it's blue and white, and it doesn't look appetizing at all.

The blue wasn't light blue, but a deep blue, almost like it was poisonous. The white looked a bit like some kind of egg.

Elvis brought out the last dish and, seeing Jian Chi looking at it, coughed somewhat awkwardly.

"I searched for scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the StarNet, but couldn't find it, so I just made it the way I thought I would..."

Jian Chi remained silent.

At this moment, Elvis knelt down again.

"I did not kneel before the Lord today, please punish me."

Jian Chi gave him a deep look.

"Since you enjoy being punished so much, then you'd better come over earlier tonight."

"……yes."

Ignoring Elvis, Jian Chi picked up the plate of "scrambled eggs with tomatoes" as Elvis understood it and started eating.

"Ugh... What is this? It tastes awful."

Goodness, this is even worse than the steamed buns I ate on the first day.

Ivy panicked immediately, and after sitting down, she knelt down again, saying in a flustered manner:

"My lord, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Jian Chi waved his hand, took a sip of water to rinse his mouth, and then took a few more sips of water before he felt better.

He sighed as he looked at Elvis, who was kneeling beside him, pale with fright.

"Elvis, do you like kneeling?"

"I……"

Elvis certainly didn't like it; no one likes to kneel, but it was the lord's order.

When he was at home, he saw that his male father and female father interacted in exactly the same way.

So this has become a subconscious conditioned reflex for him.

Because he knew that if he didn't kneel down quickly enough, he would likely face an even more painful punishment.

"Elvis, lift your head and tell me, do you like kneeling?"

The lord's hand gripped his chin, not with much force, just enough to force Elvis to raise his head and meet his gaze, the latter's expression gentle.

From that night on, the lord remained gentle and never got angry.

Last night, they even agreed to let him return to the army.

In the past, he definitely wouldn't have dared to speak his mind.

But now.

He remained silent for a long while before shaking his head: "I don't like it."

"If you don't like it, then stand up. I'll only say this once, Elvis. From now on, unless I tell you to kneel, you can't kneel in front of any insect. Got it?"

The words were so domineering, yet the tone was so gentle, like the whispers of lovers.

Elvis's eyelashes trembled, then he nodded.

"I... I've got it."

Get up.

After dinner, Jian Chi returned to his room and began tinkering with the smart bracelet, while Elvis started processing military information.

When his subordinates asked him when he could return to the army, Avis did not answer.

The powerful ruler simply said that if he could please him, he would allow him to return to the army.

It's only the first day. Although the powerful ruler has changed a lot and agreed to his request, what if he fails to please the ruler in the end, or the ruler doesn't agree?

So he didn't give a direct answer, but dealt with the urgent matter and issued all the orders.

After finishing, he sat down and started to stare blankly.

He rarely spaced out, but after getting married, especially starting the night before, he started spacing out more and more often.

Whenever he was lost in thought, he would recall the actions and words of the powerful ruler.

The lord just told him to come early tonight.

Elvis closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He felt like he was going crazy.

Before, when I thought about what I was going to face, I was filled with despair, but in a short period of time, my thoughts have changed dramatically.

Night fell.

Not long after finishing his meal, Elvis entered the room.

She instinctively wanted to kneel, but remembering Jian Chi's words from earlier that day, she didn't.

I closed my eyes briefly.

Just as he was about to ask the male ruler what he was supposed to do, something was thrown into his arms.
