Zerg Predator

As the last rays of sunset disappeared over the horizon, the inauguration ceremony of the Grand Lord of the Nine Thousand Star Belts held by the Holy See for Luo Tiantian finally came to a successful conclusion.

Luo Tiantian stood by the gangway of the starship and said goodbye to everyone with a smile on his face.

Before turning around and entering the starship's hatch, he gave Ling Lie a meaningful look, indicating that Ling Lie should be extremely careful and find an opportunity to leave the Central Star as soon as possible.

Ling Lie nodded slightly, responding to Luo Tiantian's gesture with an almost imperceptible movement.

Ling Lie knew that Lin Bai needed Luo Tiantian to bring fame to the Holy Court, but he would never really let Luo Tiantian go free.

But he and his financial empire are the protons that must remain on the central star.

Ling Lie found it funny. With his skills, Lin Bai could rob his wealth, but it would be a pipe dream for him to steal his management rights and gain control of the entire financial empire.

The starship's engine roared, and Luo Tiantian's figure disappeared behind the slowly closing hatch. Ling Lie and Lin Bai watched Luo Tiantian go, watching the starship soar into the sky, cutting through the night sky, and flying towards the distant Nine Thousand Star Belt.

After the starship completely disappeared from sight, Lin Bai turned to Ling Lie, his voice seemed to carry a hint of joy: "Councilor Ling, I heard that you are helping Luo Tiantian manage the finances?"

Ling Lie nodded and replied, "Yes, Archbishop."

Lin Bai thought for a moment and asked, "Then, are you also responsible for managing Cao Zhan's huge fortune?"

Ling Lie replied respectfully, "Of course. I am good at financial investment and have a relatively high rate of return, so I will be responsible for managing the wealth under His Highness Tiantian's name."

Lin Bai nodded and praised: "I have also heard that your financial management ability is very good. It just so happens that I have some funds on hand and I am looking for someone to invest. Shall we go to your office to talk alone?"

Ling Lie knew that Luo Tiantian had promised to support Lin Bai's plan financially. At this moment, Lin Bai should be asking him for money.

So he smiled and replied, "It is an honor to serve you, Archbishop. Please follow me."

Ling Lie welcomed Lin Bai into his company and saw his eyes casually scanning every corner of the room, as if he was silently evaluating something.

Ling Lie remained calm and slowly introduced the company's business scope and influence to Lin Bai, but Lin Bai's attention was clearly not on the financial management project.

It was not until he entered Ling Lie's office that Ling Lie ended the project introduction that no one paid attention to.

After closing the office door, Ling Lie respectfully saluted Lin Bai again and said, "Archbishop, I will provide full financial support for your grand plan on the orders of the Lord. Your vision is the goal that my Lord loyally supports."

Lin Bai's eyes flashed with admiration. He walked closer to Ling Lie and gently lifted Ling Lie's chin: "Councilor Ling's actions are really elegant. If I remember correctly, you are from an old noble family, right?"

"Yes, thank you for your concern." Although Ling Lie felt that Lin Bai's behavior was a bit over the line, he still maintained an elegant attitude.

"I've always felt that your male lord is quite similar to me, even our vision in choosing a female lord is exactly the same." Lin Bai let go of Ling Lie's chin, but still looked at him admiringly.

Facing a powerful enemy, Ling Lie did not dare to relax. He bowed his head again and saluted, saying respectfully: "Archbishop, your female monarch is the most noble female insect in the empire. I dare not compare myself with her."

Lin Bai chuckled and shook his head: "Fa Xiang is not as good as you. His status comes from his father, and your ability comes from yourself."

Ling Lie quickly bowed his head: "You are too kind. I and my abilities will serve you together with the Lord."

Lin Bai moved closer, his eyes deep, as if he wanted to see through Ling Lie's soul: "Ling Lie, you are very smart. You should know that our cooperation can change the entire Zerg Empire."

He approached Ling Lie and put his hand on his shoulder. His warm breath blew past Ling Lie's ear and his tone was full of temptation: "What I want is a partner who can fight side by side with me and create the future together. What I need is not your money, but you. Do you understand, Ling Lie?"

Ling Lie suppressed his inner discomfort and answered firmly: "Archbishop, please rest assured that the wisdom and strength of the Lord and I will be at your service."

A satisfied smile appeared on Lin Bai's lips. He gently pinched Ling Lie's neck, and his fingers touched Ling Lie's punishment ring.

Before Ling Lie could dodge, the punishment ring suddenly sounded a warning sound -

[The testing period of the punishment ring has begun. During the testing period, the person with the highest authority in this ring will be Lin Bai].

The punishment ring changed hands?! Ling Lie felt a chill running down his spine. He looked up in shock, his eyes full of disbelief: "Archbishop, what did you do?"

However, before he could finish his words, he felt a strong electric current in his neck, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away by the Punishment Ring. Ling Lie instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Lin Bai's smile was still bright. He took out a glowing injection from his arms, opened it gently, and walked slowly towards Ling Lie:

"Don't worry, Ling Lie. I admire you very much and really need you to be my comrade-in-arms."

Lin Bai's words were gentle, but his actions were irresistible. He slowly injected the needle into Ling Lie's gland, "This is a gland-washing medicine. The effect is very fast, and it may reduce your level a little. But you are not going to the battlefield anyway, so as long as you don't take the test again, no one will know that you have been downgraded."

Lin Bai actually wanted to mark himself - Ling Lie's body began to tremble uncontrollably. He didn't understand how Lin Bai got the authority to his punishment ring.

Ling Lie's body had never been marked by any male insect - being controlled by pheromones and having to obey the orders of the male lord was his biggest nightmare.

Ever since he and Luo Tiantian reached a contractual marriage, Ling Lie thought he would never be troubled by this nightmare again. However, today, this nightmare is about to come true.

Ling Lie gritted his teeth and pleaded: "Archbishop, if you do this... it will hurt His Highness Luo Tiantian's loyalty to you."

"Don't worry, I only care about your loyalty." Lin Bai patted Ling Lie's head soothingly, his tone even tender, "Luo Tiantian has completed his mission, and his remaining value at this moment is just the wealth under his name. Your value is far higher than Luo Tiantian, and you are a partner worthy of fighting alongside me."

As he spoke, Lin Bai took out the injection containing his own pheromone and inserted it into Ling Lie's gland without hesitation.

The violent male insect pheromones instantly rushed into Ling Lie's limbs and bones, and Ling Lie, who had just recovered a little strength, fell down again.

"Feeling good, right?" Lin Bai smiled and grabbed Ling Lie's hair, forcing him to look up. "From now on, you are my believer. I order you to use all financial means to gather wealth. If possible, don't leave any savings for those civilian female insects."

"Yes, sir." Ling Lie spoke with difficulty. Although his voice was still trembling, his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Lin Bai: "I... I will definitely carry out your orders."

For the first time, Ling Lie truly felt the absolute control of male insect pheromones over female insects. Although he knew rationally that Lin Bai was a demon, at this moment his body was eager to obey any order from Lin Bai.

Lin Bai nodded with satisfaction, his fingers gently combing Ling Lie's hair, and said casually: "I have always been clear about rewards and punishments for my subordinates. If you don't want to try my method of managing incompetent female insects, just complete the task well.

As for Luo Tiantian, he is still of some use to the Holy Court, so you must continue to play the role of his queen, and don't tell anyone the secret between us."

Ling Lie struggled to get up and knelt down to Lin Bai to pay his respects as a believer. His forehead touched the instep of Lin Bai's foot and he said in a firm and low voice: "I will follow your instructions."
