......

There's no need to kneel or bow when meeting the Insect King, because they don't meet in the main hall or anywhere else, but in the reception room connected to the Insect King's bedroom.

It was just an ordinary room with a high ceiling, large floor-to-ceiling windows, a sofa, and a coffee table.

The Insect King was wearing a bathrobe, as if he had just woken up from a nap. He sat there very casually, without even changing his clothes.

Lan's face fell the moment she saw him; she didn't want to smile anymore and stared at the wall.

There is a huge portrait of the Queen Insect on the wall.

Looking at the Insect King, Gao Tian understood where the blue, big eyes and youthful aura came from.

The Queen of Insects has a very mature and aggressive appearance, with narrow eyes, thin lips, and sharp features. Lan looks similar to him at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they are quite different. Even as an adult, Lan still has a youthful appearance.

This youthful spirit actually comes from the Insect King.

Although Lan always calls the Insect King "Old Immortal," the Insect King actually looks like a teenager even in middle age, and even today, he still has a baby face.

They were a little better than the young males in the corridor, but only slightly better. They looked about seventeen or eighteen, like underage high school students.

Why are the male Zerglings like this?

Is it developmental delay?

No, not really. They can have children even when they look like teenagers.

So it's genetic degeneration?

The Insect King is really good-looking, with innocent big eyes and a small face. He doesn't look like a scumbag who has a bunch of concubines after marrying a wife and doesn't care about his children at all.

Lan quietly pouted at Gao Tian, ​​then secretly reached out from behind and pulled Gao Tian's hand.

It was this face that allowed him to deceive his female father.

Gao Tian patted his hand reassuringly, telling him to watch how this wicked daughter-in-law would deal with him.

"Sit down," the Insect King said, taking a sip of tea.

Lan pulled Gao Tian to sit on the sofa on the side furthest from the Insect King.

"Kellorius," the Insect King said sternly, "where is your manners?"

Lan didn't want to talk to him anymore, and coldly uttered, "I had no manners growing up."

"You!" The Insect King slammed his teacup on the coffee table, spilling tea all over the floor.

"Don't look so ugly, Your Majesty the Insect King." Blue said expressionlessly, "According to the rules, the selection of the Crown Princess must be approved by you before I brought Gao Tian here. It's not like I came here willingly, nor did I come to argue with you."

"I am your father, do you have to talk to me like that?"

"I thought my father had died when I was born, and I've hardly ever seen him since I was little."

The Insect King was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Lan continued her steady performance: "If you're angry, hurry up and give me the Insect Emperor's Seal. I still need to formally propose my marriage date with Gao Tian to the finance department and the official media."

The Insect King looked even angrier, as if he was about to say, "I disagree!"

Gao Tian looked up at Lan, put one arm around his waist, picked him up and moved him back a little. He turned to the side to block the Insect King's view and looked at him with his eyes, indicating that he had said enough and should stop talking. He still wanted to take his seal, so let him do it.

"Hmph." Lan pouted unhappily.

Gao Tian turned to the Insect Emperor and began with a polite self-introduction: "Your Majesty the Insect Emperor, I am Gao Tian."

The Insect King had investigated him before but found nothing. He picked up his teacup again, leaned back on the sofa, and said dismissively, "You're not an Insect, are you?"

"Yes, I am a human alpha." Gao Tian smiled. "But my race doesn't really matter. We have the same structure, similar pheromones, and our genes are stronger than those of the Zerg males who degenerate into dwarfs."

"Good for scolding." Lan scratched his hand with satisfaction from behind.

"You!!!" The Insect King was furious; this one was not someone to be trifled with.

Gao Tian exclaimed apologetically, "I was wrong. How could I have said that the male insect is a dwarf?"

The Insect King looked at him suspiciously. Had he misjudged him? Was this human actually easy to talk to? "You know..."

"The male insects have just been living comfortably for too long and have become useless," Gao Tian said.

The teacup in the Insect King's hand tilted, and the lid rolled onto the carpet with a clatter.

He stared dumbfounded at Gao Tian, ​​what had this rude person said?!

Gao Tian continued with a smile, "I'm sure the male insects of the past weren't like they are now, were they? The male insects have all degenerated to this state, so there's no need for you to insist on any purity of royal blood anymore; they're all useless."

Gao Tian then said politely, "Besides, the Crown Prince's marriage isn't for breeding. What does blood purity matter? He can marry whomever he wants, and no one but himself has the right to decide for him. You don't have any objections to that, do you? If you do, why don't you go up to the terrace and shout three times, 'I want the Crown Prince to marry just for breeding'? Would that work? No, it probably won't. After all, your authority doesn't even surpass that of the Imperial Heir."

The Insect King, caught off guard by his barrage of attacks, couldn't utter a single word, its face alternating between red and green: "You...you..."

"I can understand why fathers who neither give birth nor raise their children might not have much affection for them. It's easy for scoundrels to appear in the father's role, and there are some among us humans too."

Gao Tian continued smiling, politely adding, "A father who hasn't fulfilled his responsibilities expects his child to be nice to him. Don't get your hopes up. Strong people don't complain about their environment; they complain about themselves first. Why has Lan become the way she is today? Think about your past. Do you even have the nerve to ask?"

Insect King: "You...you shut up! Utterly rude!"

"Your Majesty, this is merely a profound insight from the perspective of human ethics."

Gao Tian continued his steady output, his smile glued to his face, "I was absent from the parenting process, and now that Lan is grown up, you're putting on this old-fashioned father's face. What? Did I miss a part of my memory? Did you fulfill your role as a father? You're so nosy, even forcing him to arrange blind dates. Do you really think you're a qualified father?"

"Arranging blind dates is one thing, but what kind of person did you arrange for him? A brain-dead idiot with seven concubines and fifteen illegitimate children? Oh, I forgot, aren't you a scumbag who had a harem of wives and concubines after marrying the Queen of Insects? Looks like scumbags attract each other."

"If you can talk, then talk more!!!" Lan slapped him hard on the back and buried her face in his shoulder blade.

Gao Tian reached behind him with one hand to hook his chin and tickle him, teasing him as he continued to speak politely.

"I'm not being discriminatory, I genuinely think that the male Zerg are completely problematic these days. They have no love for their offspring; do you think that's normal among intelligent races? I've heard it's not uncommon among male Zerg anymore. How should I put it? I feel like the males are completely immature. I'm asking you sincerely, do they still think of themselves as children after getting married and having children?"

At this point, Gao Tian asked in confusion, "Oh, not only is his mind not developed, but his body also hasn't grown. Hasn't anyone investigated why? Wouldn't that be considered intellectual disability?"

The Insect King slammed his teacup on the ground and yelled, "Shut up! Shut up! Get out of here!"

Gao Tian ignored the Insect King's rejection and continued to smile and say, "Still being flattered? Wake up! Humans and Zerg have communicated. Still think you're so precious? You're like Wu Dalang climbing a tree to show off your superiority."

The Insect King couldn't understand Wu Dalang, but he knew it wasn't anything nice.

Enraged, the Insect King completely gave up on arguing, clutching his chest and collapsing onto the sofa in anguish, "Guards...guards..."

Lan popped her head out from behind Gao Tian: "You were the one who was afraid I'd argue with you and you'd lose face, so you withdrew all the attendants and guards. You can't call them back now, huh? Hehehe."

"Some fathers are worse than negative numbers," Gao Tian smiled. "If you really think I'm wrong and you haven't wronged your child, then think more about whether he would have had a better life if he had lost both his parents at a young age."

Gao Tian politely uttered the final question: "Now, Your Majesty the Insect King, may you now give me the seal?"

Lan Huan happily stood up from behind Gao Tian: "I know where he put the Insect Emperor's Seal! I'll take you to get it!"

The Insect King, in a final burst of energy, jumped up: "You dare! Are you going to rebel, Crown Prince?!"

Lan turned to look at him.

The Crown Prince's bright blue eyes and silver hair gleamed in the dark shadows of the heavy curtains at the entrance to the Insect King's palace.

He said expressionlessly, "I hope you remember, Your Majesty the Insect Emperor, the Liernia Empire belongs to the Skellway family. I am the future master of this country; I haven't ascended the throne yet only because you haven't abdicated. To be honest, I don't have any feelings for you. It's just that Xiong Bao will be watching me so I can't act. Be smart and don't covet what doesn't belong to you, okay, Your Majesty the Insect Emperor?"
